It s likely there » will be difficulty In selecting a jury as the murder was the talk of this county for days and since almost every one has expressed aome opinion. The killing took place in front of the . Central hotel early in the morning sever al months ago. and was witnessed by » some good people, many of whom were children on their wax to school. Without Ea word of warning. Biggers overtook Hood, drew hts revolver, fired four shots, I the latter bringing Hood to the sidewalk. A fifth shot was fired through the hack of the prostrate man s head Biggers k then cooly stepped back, tuprned over his j gun and surrendered to an officer. In a few minutes after he was landed in po- , Kltce station he began to show evidence of i Insanity, singing hymns, laughing, ghriek- < ing and talking disjointedly of the alleg ed injuries he had suffered at the hand* Os his victim.

MUST SUFFER FOR ALLOWINGLYNCHING Supreme Court of United States Finds Tennessee Sheriff, His Deputy and Four Other Resi dents Guilty of Contempt. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.—Sheriff Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibaon. of Ham ilton county. Tennessee, and four other residents of that county, named respect ively, Williams, Nolan. Padgett and May, were yesterday declared by the supreme court of the United States guilty of an act of contempt of court in combining in March. 1906, In a conspiracy to lynch a negro. Ed Johnson, who had been sen tenced to death by local courts on the charge of criminal assault, and In whose case the supreme court had Interferred to the extent of granting an appeal, which had the effect of a supersedeas. The case has been pending ever since, and the number of defendants was. from time to time, reduced to nine. Os these nine, three were Monday found guiltless, while the other six were ordered to be brought into court next Tuesda ■ week for sentence. They will be taken into cus tody immediately and will appear in court tn charge of Marshal Wright. The sen tence may be either fine or imprisonment, , or both. • CHARGE OF CONTEMPT. The charge of contempt against Sheriff Shipp and his codefendants was due to the fact that when Johnson was lynched, he was constructively in the custody of i the court. Only a month before the negro had' been found guilty and had been sen tenced to death. The supreme court had granted an appeal from a decision of the United States circuit court denying him a writ of habeas corpus, which effected a stay of proceedings in the convict’s case. The appeal was allowed on March 19. and that night Johnson was taken out , of the jail at Chattanooga and hanged This action was strongly resented by th* court, and Immediately complaint was made to President Roosevelt, who order ed an Investigation by. the department of justice This investigation resulted in the filing in court by the attorney general n Mar. 1906. of an "information" in which Shipp and nine of hts deputies and sev enteen other persons were charged with complicity in the lynching. Shipp and some of hts subordinates by absenting themselves from th* J«H on th * night of the tragedy, and the others by actual participation in it. Each and all pleaded innocence. Deputy Clerk Maher, of the court, was sent to Chattanooga as a commissioner to investigate and take testimony. The Investigation failed to connect with the crime seventeen men implicated and the cases against them were dismissed at the beginning of the present term. CHIEF JUSTICE REVIEWS CASE. The chief Justice presented a complete review of the Johnson case. He concluded that neither Shipp nor his deputy, Gib son. had made any effort to prevent the removal of Johnson from the jail, to pre vent hts killing after he was taken out, nor to discover the participants In the lynching after It took place. Continuing, he said of the proceedings on the night of the lynching: "The assertions that mob violence was not expected, and that there was no oc casion for providing more than the usual guard of one man for the jail In Chatta nooga. are quite unreasonable, and incon sistent with statements made by phoriff Shipp and hia deputies that they were looking for a mob on the next day.” The chief justice pointed out that the jail had been left entirely unguarded and in charge of Deputy Gibeon, when every precaution to guard the prlaoner’ should have been taken. The chief justice quoted liberally from an Interview given out by Shipp some days after the lynching, in which Shipp said that he "did not attempt to hurt any of the mob.” in which he charged the su preme court with the responsibility of the lynching, because of its Interference in the case. Aged Ex-Sheriff Stirred By Decision CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., May 26,-The decision of the supreme court of the United States in the contempt case of ex-Sheviff J. F. Shipp has shocked this city greatly. The aged ex-sheriff appears stunned and his friends decline to discuss the case, preferring to wait until sen tence is pronounced. , It was rumored last night that Mr. Shipp had dropped dead on learning the news that he had been ordered to Wash ington June 1, to receive sentence for the part he la alleged to have taken in the lynching of Ed Johnson, colored. The city was wildly excited when this report was put in circulation, but it was soon proven untrue. However, the aged de fendant in this famous case is taking his conviction much to heart. He declares he is innocent of any Infraction of the law and had confidently anticipated an acquittal. He gave out the following statement tonight: IS UNDER BOND. “I have no official notice of the su preme court's decision In my case. All I have to say is I am under bond to appear on the order of the court, which I am ready to do when notified by the court. *T think there must be some mistake about the court ordering that an attach ment issue for myself and the other de fendants, as all the defendants named are under bond to appear on the order of, the court and until they fail to do so, their bonds stand good for their appear ance on the court’s order. "(Signed.) J. F. SHIPP." The ex-sheriff enjoys to a large meas ure the confidence of the people of the 1 city and county and frequent expressions of sympathy are ueard.

BIG WHEAT YIELD EXPECTED IN TEXAS CHICAGO, May 25.—Private advices re ceived here today stated that harvesting of wheat had begun in three counties of Texas and that the yield would be 14 or 16 bushels to the acre on an average. H. E. Rycroft, a Chicago expert, however, declared that this estimate was 50 per cent too high, as the prolonged drouth in the Lon Star State precluded such a yield. The announcement did not affect prices In Chicago materiall, as May wheat on the board of Hade early sold at a new high price, $1.35 1-4. The first garnering of wheat each year begins in Texas at about this time, and is of importance chiefly as marking the beginning of the general harvest. :■ The great forest of grain in the entire country, when harvested will leave a great road of stubble approximately of 45,000,000 acres. The latest completed sta tistics made the yield 634.087,000 bushels In the United States In 1907. A similar yield this year would net rougly about that number of dollars. However, in many quarters it Is asserted that this year’s harvest will be under 600,000,000 bushels. It is of interest in connection with the news from Texas to note that the course of the world's harvesting calendar strikes this country in mid-year. The world’s Harvest begins in January in the latitude Os Australia, New Zealand. Chile and the Argentine, - sweeps through Egypt, In dia, Mexico, Cuba and Asia Minor, until in May it lakes in Texas, Central Asia, Japan and China. Even though the Texas returns never equal in importance those of the purely wheat states, and may be far under nor mal this year, the fact that harvesting has begun as usual bears on the great point at issue between the bulls and bears of the Chicago wheAt pit. Will July be an old or a new crop month? "In July Chicago will be buying the wheat of the previous year," is a state ment made by JamesA . Patten, at the height pf his bull campaign in May wheat. On this point, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson took issue with the bi gspecVula tor and both finally left the controversy for "time to tell.” ROOSEVELT ASSERTS STORIES ARE MYTHS NAIROBI, British East Africa, May 25. —A staff correspondent of the Associated Press returned to. Nairobi this morning, after a two days’ visit at the Roosevelt camp, as the guest of Mr. Roosevelt.' The camp is located on the Hartley ranch, on the banks of the Nairobi river. Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermit are in remarkably good j health, and they are delighted with the success of their ex pedition. The accuracy of the rifle fire of Mr. Roosevelt and his son has astonished not only the settlers, but the members of the party. Kermit killed, recently at close range, a hyena that had attacked him, and he has also come very near making a rec ord bag of female wart hogs in a given space of time. Today the party is staying at the Hart ley ranch, but tomorrow Mr. Roosevelt, his son, and Edmund Heller, are coming into Nairobi. Major Meafins and Major Loring will remain at the Ju Ja ranch until Wednesday, collecting birds and marrjmals. Mr. Roosevelt is annoyed at certain sr<ecial dispatches which, it is re ported here, ate appearing In American and English newspapers. He requests the Associated Press to send out the follow ing Statement: “No newspaper has a representative with the Roosevelt party, nor any nearer means of gaining information of the par ty’s doings beyond what Is generally known. Ajiy special dispatches appearing are in all human probability sheer inven tions. ’ ( • ( 'Moreover, the details which purport to be thtis obtained can only be due to bri bery, and it is safe to state that a dis honorable man giving a bribe and a dis honorable man accepting the same would be willing to Invent unreuths for money or traffic in other forms of dishonor.” AMERICA TO GROW JAPANESE BAMBOO CHICAGO, May 26.—Japanese bamboo Is to be grown in America.

Impressive memorial services to the late Bishop Charles B. Galloway were held at Trinity Methodist church Sunday af ternoon. Df. Frank Siler, pastor of Wesley Memorial church, presided over the exercises. Addhesses were made by Dr. Joel T. Daves, presiding elder of the Atlanta district; Asa G. Candler, and Dr. James W. Lee. The church was tilled witff a congregation representing many different forms of religious faith, all of whom had felt either by personal con tact or reflex Influence the blessing of the good man’s life. Dr. Daves spoke of Bishop Galloway as a man. Re commented on his devotion to duty and his luminous qualities of mind and spirit. Mr. Candler, who was a personal friend of the bishop and who attended his funeral in Mississippi, paid a moving tribute to his character and told of the scenes that marked the fu neral. Dr. Lee’s eulogy was so Sincerely touching that many in the audience broke down and wept. The benediction was giv en by Rev. M. J. Cofer. DR. DAVES’ TRIBUTE. Dr. Joel T. Daves spoke as follows: Most of those who are here this after noon feel that they come to honor Bishop Galloway for what he did in his busy life. No one can afford to discount the ac complishments which are properly cred ited to him. But we must remember that behind what he did is the man that he was. There can be no achievement with out the qualities of manhood and given a man, no one can measure the possible re sults. Nor must it be overlooked that a man is necessarily greater than anything and everything he accomplishes. There is more water in the fountain than flows out in the stream; more light in the sun than is Intercepted by our globe; more power in a man than appears in his work. Bishop Galloway was endowed with a physical equipment of rare impressive ness. Having once seen him, his appear ance remained forever fixed on the mind. His flashing eye, his well moulded form, his abounding physical vitality stirred even the chance acquaintance as with the call of the trumpet. This bodily well being supplied strength for the task which he assumed. What tremendous draughts he drew on his reserve force at this point! He has pased away long ere the natural hour of eventide largely because he knew no stint to the offering of himself. How Joyous was his service! This, too grew, from the ease with which it was rend ered. and this in turn was the source of !ts rare effectiveness. In intellectual furnishing he was thoroughly equipped for the work of life. He was no pedant, but if adapta tion of powers to the worthiest ends constitutes education, he was an excep tionally well educated man. He had a grasp of affairs, a practical mastery of life and the principles of conduct which is to be met with in only a few who are miturally masters of men. His studious zeal to perfect the endowments bestowed on him was a proverb with those who knew him well. Especially notable and characteristic was his fond ness for the record of human achieve ment as recorded in the pages of his tory. Here he learned the forces which have regulated conduct tn the past and are yet shaping tne course of thought today' His oratorical temperament cannot properly be overlooked on an occasion like this. He had a mastery of persua sive speech. He could sway the feel ing and faith of great multitudes. He could start the Impulses which register ed themselves in transfigured character. He touched with sure hand the secret tountains of emotion. What a marvel ous power is this, springing only from a fervent soul, sure of itst own deep thought and purpose. He »ias been de clared to be the last of the long line of flaming soutaern speakers. Whether this be true or not, he had the wrapt soul of a seer, the melodious voice of the seraph, the oratorical fervor of a leader of men. Hence he stirred them •co ineir depths. Bishop Galloway’s personal charm was felt and yielded to by all. This mysteri ous quality, which no none can describe, or account for adequately, grows from a perfect blending of exceptional qualities. No one ever came In touch with him who did not yield to it at once. It will remain in the memory of those who knew him like a strain of perfect music which dies out on the atmosphere only to remain in the heart forever. His spiritual graces were abundant. The best of him was wrought out as he him self recognized by the grace and power of God. His consecration to his work was absolute. His humility was evident to all, despite the high place he occupied in the church and in the affections of the people. His brotherliness was experienc ed by the hubllest of the Itinerants who came into his presence. It was true of him in the words of Tennyson: “Love took up the harp of life, struck on all its chords with might. Struck the chord of self, which trem bling. passed in music out of sight.” To have known such a man has been an incalculable blessing; nor can one believe that he has perished: God did not fash ion so perfect an instrument for the do ing of his work that he might crush it forever. No! This man who has passed from us, has into the invisible company of the redeemed where he will enter on a' larger and better work for the Lord whom he loved. We mourn his passing but cherish his memory, and will consid er his faith and follow his conversation, which centered in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—Resuming his discussion of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, Mr. McEnery, of Louisiana, in the senate today dealt with the attitude of the southern states and southern statesmen toward the policy of protec tion. Referring to his remarks in the senate yesterday he said: "That there is a change of sentiment going on in the south in relation to pro tection was shown recently, and I hope senators from the south who have sup ported protection on every industry in the state may extend the horizon of their vision and accord protection to great na tional interests.” Mr. McEnery spoke especially of the need of a protective tariff on lumber, which industry had employed 35,000 men, producing lumber worth $44,000,000 an nually. After pointing out that southern sena tors had voted for a duty on lumber which produces a revenue of only $2,000,00# annually, Mr. McEnery called attention to the vastly greater Income produced by sugar, which yields a revenue of $60,000,000. "I want to appeal to southern senators,” he declared, in ringing tones, "t® aban don their absurd theories of a tariff for revenue only tnd vote to support the in dustries of the United States.” "Thomas Jefferson said there should be a duty on the necessities of life, be cause this government should not be forced to depend on any foreign country for its necessaries. REASONS FOR DUTY. "I do not place my plea for a duty on sugar for the great revenue it brings I put it on a higher, which is the neces sity for the country to become independ ent of any foreign government for thing* it requires. Break down the tariff on sugar and this country will be overrun with sugar from Europe, b6th refined and granulated, and it will stop every beet factory in the United States and stop the culture of cane in the state of Louisiana. "Heretofore we have depended upon sugar for a tariff. Now it has grown to be a great necessity and it will enableus to supply the world some.” If the sugar trust, he said, had violat ed the law the guilty men should be put in the penitentiary. “But why crucify the people to bring down venegeance on the sugar trust? What we need is some set tled policy in regard to this industry.. Capital is easily frightened and every time there is a revenue bill coupled with a demand for free sugar, conditions are unsettled.” The Louisiana senator declared the so called "poor man’s sugar" sought by the iste Senator James K. Jones and pro cured through the low sugar schedule of the McKinley tariff law yas a fraud, as it contained 16 1-2 per cent of water, while the sugar produced in refineries of Louis iana contained only 2 per cent of water. "That sugar,” he said “was "beautiful in color, but in taste it was a chat and a fraud." “That kind of sugar disappeared with the enactment of the Dingley bill," he said in concluding his remarks, ‘and it would again appear with a lowering of the standard and under a lower; duty on sugar.” » BRISTOW FOLLOWS. Mr. Braistow followed. While Mr. Me- Enery, a Democrat, had spoken for a high protective rate on sugar, the Kansas senator, a Republican, advocated a re duction. Introducing an amendment to strike out the provision for "number 16 duties standard,” and reducing the duty on refined sugar from one and 90-MO to one and 82 1-2 one hundredths of one cent a pound, he said, "wherever a sena tor endeavors to reduce the existing du ties in the bill he is at once accused of attempting to destroy the industryaf fested.” He insisted that the senators who are endeavoring to obtain * reductions in the tariff duties were the best friends of the protective policy. “They want,” he de clared. "to have the protective policy stand as a symbol for American Industries and not as a symbol for graft and greed.” Senator Beveridge today introduced an amendment to the tariff bill, the purpose of which is to prohibit tobacco manufac turers or dealers from using the coupon or premium system t stimulate sales. CLAY OFFERS AMENDMENT. Senator Clay today introduced an amendment to the sugar schedule strik ing out the duties standard for grading sugar and fixing a rate of 50 cents a hun dred pounds on sugar, cane juice and con crete and concentrated molasses, testing by the poiarisope not above 75 degrees, and for every additional degree two cents a hundred pounds additional; refined sug ar $1 a hundred pounds; molasses not above forty degrees twenty per cent ad valorem; above 40 degrees and not above 56 degrees, 8 cents a gallon and above 56 degrees six cents a gallon.
