FAVOR A WATERWAY
Industrial Convention Delegates
Discuss Nicaragua Canal.
STRONG ADDRESSES ARE MADE
Florida Wart Led in the Debate—Ala
bamian Tells of Coal and Iron
In His State —Courcill on
Race Question.
a l’lilia'lelphia special says: The
delegates to the Southern Industrial
convention Thursday considered the
important question of waterways and
their relation to the improvement of
the country’s trade. An interesting
discussion occurred on the value of an
isthmian canal, the opinion of the
speakers being that the proposed Nica
ragua canal would be the most desira
ble economical channel between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Hon. Bew
ail C. Cobb, of Pensacola, led the de
j bate on this subject. The Mississippi
river and its tributaries were also dis
cussed, the speakers giving reasons
why the waterways of the south should
be developed and utilized.
J. 13. Gibson, of Birmingham, read a
paper 011 "Iron and Steel Manufacture
; in the South,” uetailing the develop
ment of the industry and showing the
benefits to investors and manufactur
ers.
Two interesting addresses were de
livered at the night session, one by
Dr. William H. Tolman on the subject
of improving the conditions of wage
earners, and the other by W. H. Coun
cils who spoke in behalf of the col
ored race.
J. B. Gibson, of the Commercial Club
of Birmingham. Ala., was the first
speaker at the morning session. He
read a paper on “Iron and Steel Man
facture in the South,” showing the
growth o' that industry since the de
velopment of the iron deposits was
begun. Mr. Gioson said it had been
known for many years that iron was
abundant in Alabama, but the owners
of land were not sufficiently wealthy
to make the necessary equipments.
"The export of pig iron from the Bir
mingham district,” said Mr. Gibson,
"began in 1897, and an average of
200,000 tons per annuam have since
been exported. In 1900 the United
States exported 286,783 tons of pig
iron, and of this amount Alabama fur
nished 238,615 tons.
"When the Nicaragua canal is built,
Alabama coal will supply the steam
ships of the world; her iron, steel, tim
ber and labor will build them, and the
product of her industries will load
them."
The discussion on the Nicaragua ca
nal was opened by Hon. Sewall Cobb,
of Pensacola. Fla. He said in part:
"Five hundred and fifty millions of
people oi the far east, for half a cen
tury have entreated us to open a high
way through the narrow' strip of land
that connects the two great continents
of America, but we nave had at the
helm of the ship of state men of lim
ited maritime information and a deaf
ear has been turned to their requests.
“The twentieth century calls for hu
man advancement. We of the south
learned at the close of the war that if
w r e would develop our resources the
military arm must be subservient to
the civil authority.
"The Clayton-Bulwer treaty is only
a pretext for delay. We cannot con
cede the right of any nation to dictate
either locality or manner of occupa
iion to those whose mutual interests
demand a work free from entangling
alliances. Costa Rica. Nicaragua and
the United States of America are com
petent to decide what is best for their
interests.”
George H. Anderson, of Pittsburg,
spoke briefly on the subject, express
ing the opinion that the United States
can build an isthmian canal without
the help of England or any other na
tion,
world.
The first speaker at the night ses
sion was Dr. William H. Tolman, direc
tor of the industrial betterment de
partment of the League for Social Ser
vice. He delivered an illustrated lec
ture on "Movements for Improving
the condition of the Employed.”
W. H. Counclll, colored, president
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, of Normal. Ala., spoke on in
dustrial education and its relation to
race development. President Councill
said he had been a slave boy and his
experience at that time caused him to
; vow that he would some time devote
. himself to the work of uplifting the
1 colored race. He asserted the solution
j of the race problem was neither in the
j question of franchise nor education,
but rather in a proper understanding
between the white people and the ne
gro.
An interesting incident of the ses
sion was the presentation by General
W. W r . H. Davis, of DoyUstown. Pa.,
! of a captured confederate flag to the
j South Carolina delegation.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERS VALLE, GA.
MBS. KENNEDY CONVICTED.
Young Kansas City Woman Sentenced
to Ten Years’ Imprisonment for
Murder of Her Betrayer.
At Kansas City Saturday the jury
in the Kennedy murder case brought
in a verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree, and fixing Mrs. Kenne
ly’s punishment at ten years in the
penitentiary.
When the verdict was read this re
markable twenty year old prisoner,
whose cool, indifferent manner has for
1 five months baffled the jail officials
who have had her in charge, looked
t .straight ahead of her. She neither
burst out crying nor moved a muscle.
Later she expressed her interest, but
nothing more, in the formal calling by
the court clerk of the cases pending
against her father, C. W. Prince, and
her brothers, Bert and Will Prince,
who are charged with conspiracy to
kill Kennedy.
While Judge Wofford was dismiss
ing the jurors who had sat on the case
for twelve days and reached their ver
dict after eleven hours’ deliberation,
the prisoner sat with her chin resting
on her hand. A reporter asked if she
had anything to say. Mrs. Kennedy
ignored the questiop and continued to
look at the judge. Later, when Mrs,
Kennedy had been taken into a little
room adjoining the court room and the
crowd was beginning to leave, sobs
and moans were heard. Tney came
from Mrs. Prince, the mother of the
prisoner, and Mrs. Leon, the girl’s sis
ter. C. W. rrince, the father, was
trying to pacify them, while Bert
Prince paced up and down the corridor
sobbing and wringing his bands. Lulu
Kennedy sat thoughtful and silent,
gazing fixedly before her. Taken to
her cell she maintained her calm man
ner. She refused to discuss tlie ver
dict.
The murder of Kennedy occurred
an the evening of February 10th last
in tile New Ridge building, in the cen
ter of the business district. Kennedy,
who was contracting agent of the Mer
chants’ Transportation Company, was
sitting at his desk in his office wiien
called by Mr. Cross, the woman’s phy
sician. Mi’s. Kennedy followed the
physician closeiy and asked her hus
band if he intended to live with her
and receiving a negative answer, be
gan shooting. She fired five shots,
all of which took effect and any one
of which would have proved fatal.
Kennedy dieu almost instantly, the
only words escaping his lips were:
“It wasn’t her gun.”
Before taken away by the police the
woman kicked the prostrate man in
the face, remarking:
"You will never seduce another
girl!”
Thomas Kennedy, a brother of the
man, tried to wrest the revolver from
Mrs. Kennedy’s hand when he was
struck down by' her brother, Will
Prince.
The couple were married in the cir
cuit court on February 4th, and two
days before Kennedy was killed he
brought suit to have the marriage set
aside, alleging duress and charging
W. C. Prince, the girl’s father, and
Will Prince with forcing him to marry
her at the point of a revolver. The
three Princes are now awaiting trial
on a charge of conspiracy to kill Ken
nedy.
Mrs. Kennedy was twenty years old
and Kennedy was twenty-eight. An
appeal will be taken in the case.

FERRY BOATS CRASH
Hundreds are Caught Id Terrible
disaster at New York.
NUMBER OF DEAD A PROBLEM
Steamer Northfield Collides With the
Mauch Chunk and Fearful Panic
Ensues Among Passengers
of Both Vessels.
A Now York special says: The
wooden side-wheeler, Northfield, which
has been in the service of the Staten
Island Ferry Company for the past 3S
years, was rammed Friuay night by
the steel hulled propeller Mauch
Chunk, used as a ferry boat by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
collision occurred just off the Staten
island ferry slip at the foot of White
hall street, and in less than ten min
utes after the Northfield, which was
crowded with passengers, sank at the
outer end of the Spanish line pier in
the East river. Tne Mauch Chunk,
which was badly damaged, landed the
two dozen passengers who were
aboard of her. Over a hundred of the
passengers of the sunken Northfield
were dragged out of the -water by peo
ple along the snore and the crews of
the fleet of river tugs which promptly
responded to the ferry boat’s call for
help.
A few of the Northfield’s passengers
were hurt in the accident, and the po
lice believe that some lives were lost.
Captain Daliel Gully, of the tug boat
Mutual, who saw the ferry boats crash
together, says that immediately after
the collision between twenty-five and
thirty of the passengers leaped into
the water and many of those perished.
Captain Gully also declares that he
is sure over a hundred of the North
field’s passengers were drowned. The
captains of the other tug boats who
were early on the scene, however, are
inclined to think that the disaster was
not so serious as regards the loss of
life. Thus far no dead bodies have
been recovered.
The reason for such a difference of
opinion as to the extent or the disaster
is that the wildest excitement prevail
ed on the Northfield. The .ag Mutual
saved in all about seventy-five persons
from the Northfield, and the tugs
Unity and Arrow saved netween them
150 persons.
Two policemen of the Oul Slip sta
tion claim to have rescued nearly thir
ty people between them. As soon as
the erowu which had followed the sink
ing ferry boat along tte river front
were able to render any aid, they
worked with a will, and in many in
stances men sprang into the water
to save life. The greatest service was
rendered by the tug boats, which, as
soon as it was possible, circled around
the Noruifield and made a bridge to
the Spanish line pier, and men and
women clambered over the tugs to the
shore.
The swift running flood tide and the
question of which boat has the right of
way was the cause of the disaster.
Captain Abraham Johnson was in
charge of the Northfield and Captain
S. C. Griffin was in command of the
Maucn Chunk. Each lays the blame
for the collision on the other.
The officials oi the Staten Island
ferry boat said that there were proba
bly not over 600 passengers on the
Northfield at the time of me collision.
The passengers say that the usual
rush crowd was aboard and that it
numbered fully 1,200 men, women and
children.
Captain Abraham Johnson, of the
Northfield, was arrested about mid
night on a charge of criminal negli
gence.

NEGROES IN DIREST DANGER.
A Dozen or More May Be Lynched Bv
Louisiana Mob to Avenge Mur
der of Young Foster.
Shreveport. La„ and vicinity has
been in a state of feverish excitement
and unrest since John Gray Foster, a
prominent planter, was shot and killed
b\ Ii ince Edwards a negro employed
on the Foster plantation, five miles
east of the city. Armed posses of
white men have been scouring the
to capture Edwards. A uozen or more
country for miles around in an attempt
negroes are under arrest in Kinne
brew's store, and their fate is uncer
tain. Foster was widely known and
very popular. He was a brother in law
of Governor McMillan, of Tennessee,
and belonged to one of the oldest fam
ilies in Louisiana.
There had been bad feeling for some
time past between the negroes and
overseers on the Foster plantation and
Foster was appealed to to settle the
differences. The planter started for
the plantation, and upon reaching a
negro cabin was fired upon and killed.
There were a dozen or more negroes
in the cabin and they -roke and ran in
all directions. The overseers were
quickly joined by white citizens, and
it was not long before all the negroes
were arreuted. a single exception be
ing Prince Edwards, who did the
shooting. Posses were quickly form
ed and started on a hunt for tne ne
gro, but as yet have made no further
arrests.
There were many wild rumors afloat
throughout the day Thursday, the
most sensational being that the ne
groes in Kinnebrew’s store were in
imminent peril of being lynched. This
rumor proved to be untrue, although
many threats are heard against the
prisoners. The store where the ne
groes are confined is guarded by a
posse of twenty-five men armed with
Winchesters, and unless sentiment
changes, the disposition at present
would inuicate that a majority’, if not
all, of the prisoners will be let off
with a thorough whipping. Edwards,
if caught, will be burned or lynched.
There is much feeling against “Proph
et” Smith and Edward Washington,
both of whom are under arrest. Smith
is believed to be at the bottom of all
the trouble, while Washington is said
to have been active in aiding Edwards
to escape.
