The decision of tire governor this.I

been in such state. The evidence in-, there were large crowds about the
traduced before the governor this.. court house from the time the polls
morning showed that Lum had never
been id New Orleans, and the requisi

The fight to get Lum Woo to New
Orleans has been going on for two or
three months. It began after an effort
was made by several Chinamen to
prosecute Lum Woo for selling poi
soned whiskey to a Chinaman named
Joe Jung, who is now held in jail for
perjury. Lum Woo^ says that the at
tempt to mix him up with the New
Orleans murder is another chapter in
the plot to ruin him because he turned
state’s evidence against about eighty
Atlanta Chinamen who had been'gam
bling and "hitting the pipe." '
Those conducting the prosecution of
Lum Woo deny that there is any plot
against him, and say that the effort to
take him to New Orleans is a lawful
attempt to prosecute a murderer.

Federal Judge, to Take , a Hand in Punishing
\ Members of Mob.
WASHINGTON, March 23.—Utilizing every Instrumentality at the
command of the Department of Justice, Attorney-General Moody will push
forward with all possible vigor and dispatch nn investigation Into the
Chattanooga lynching, with a view to the punishment of the lynchers.
“For the first time we now' ha,ye a national Jynching, one which the
federal government must and will punish,” the attorney-general is quoted
os saying. "It. is the theory tf file Department of Justice and of the
Supreme Court justices that Ed Johnson, tjie negro lynched, was in the
charge of the federal government, being under the protection of an order
of tho Supreme Court of the United States., Acting upon that assump
tion, orders have been sent the federal officials of Tennessee to make a
full and complete investigation, using the force of the United States mar
shal and any other force deemed necessary for this purpose.”
Attorney-General Moody first learned of the lynching while on his
way to Washington from Chicago, without waiting to get into communi-
cation with the Department here, he telegraphed the district attorney and
the marshal of the Eastern District of Tennessee .at Knoxville {b begin
at once an investigation Into the facts, taking all necessary steps to run
down and apprehend all persons implicated In the lynching.
When he reached Washington h e found that similar stepB had -been
taken by Assistant Attorney-Genera] Purdy, who was In charge of the
Department of Justice during bis absence In Chicago.
In the opinion of officials here, this movement, lq of great'Import-
ance. All'previous efforts to have the federal authorities interested ih
lynching cases have proved futile because the- punishment of lynchers. pa* :
been in the hands of the state courts' and state •authorities,- Tills case,.
In the opinion of the Department or Justice, clearly opens tlie way for
the federal government to take a hand, and the steps already taken show
its purpose to do an. . ,

val Stores year will end in a week
from tomorrow. On April '1 the pro

1907.
The year juBt coming to a close has
been one ot much Importance to Sa
vannah. It witnessed the. supremacy
of the port as a naval stores Center ',
fixed probably for many years to homo.
It 1b ’doubtful If any other port .can
wrest this honor from her. Jackson
ville . tried It and the past season
marked the signal failure of that ef
fort. ■
The season has been a very fine one
for the naval stores operators. $be
prices obtained for the product have

that even stronger prices will hold/
next season than have ruled during
that now closings Savannah’s receipts
both ot spirits and rosin have been
large, those of the former being, np to
date, 210,203 casks, and of the latter
