DECISION AGAINST BOERS
British May Sliip Hordes and Mules
Krom United States.
New Orleans, April 13.—Judge Par-

of mules and horses out of New Orleans
to the British army in South Africa.
The decision is a lengthy one.
It Is Predicted That Future Will Find
This Country In First Kaak of Rice-
Growing Countries of the World.
Success in the South.
Washington, April 16. — Secretary
Wilson has decided to send out an ex
pert to scour the rice-growing countries
of the world and thoroughly investi
gate matters connected with the indus
try. This mission, which is to stretch
into the civilized ports of the world,
probably will be entrusted to Professor
Knapp of Louisiana, who returned about
a year ago from an official trip of inves
tigation in the Orient. The start will
he made about next July.
It is proposed to hunt out rice-grow
ing countries, ascertain what they feed
both to their beef animals and the work
teams, what rioe can be grown on nigh
land that cannot be irrigated, what ia-
gunes can be used for forage for animals
used in the rice industry, ana a host of
other kindred questions.
Great success in rice-growing is re
ported in the rice fields along the gulf
coast of Louisiana and Texas, and Sec- ca nts now seekiu
retary Wilson predicts that a year hence
will witness the production in the
United States of all the rice required
within the country. The rice consump
tion per capita will increase very mate
rially, he says.
The United States is now exporting j
red rice and other second-class rice,
which makes excellent iood, to Porto
Rico. There is a good market for it j
there, although the second-class rice
heretofore had been fed to animals or
sold to brewers.
Secretary Wilson believes that toe i
future will fiud this country in the fiiot j
rank of rice-growing countries, and tne ,
coming mission to the east with a vie a \
to gathering information on the wnoie j
subject is expected to yield good results.

charge sales in quantities less than 1
gallon. The Prohibitionists of this sec

protection to them, and that such sales
were in violation of the state laws pro
hibiting sales of liquors.

Government Declares Carter Is Men
tally and Physically Sound and
That He Is Not, as Alleged, on
Verge of Collapse.
Washington, April 16.—Solicitor Gen
eral Richards today filed with the
United States supreme court a brief in
opposition to the application for bail
filed about 10 days ago in behalf of
former Captain Oberlin M. Carter, now
confined in the United States peniten
tiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., upon
conviction of fraud in connection with
harbor improvements, etc., at Savan
nah, Ga. After reviewing the history
of the case, the solicitor general says,
in part:
“The validity of Carter’s conviction
and sentence by the courtmartial,which
alone could try him for crimes commit
ted as an officer of the United States
army, in violation of the articles of war,
has been sustained by three civil courts
and five judges, not counting this court,
before which the matter is now pend
ing for the third time. Carter now ap
plies for the suspension of the just sen
tence of this lawful tribunal and asks
to be released from imprisonment pend
ing the hearing of this second appeal,
upon the following grounds:
“First, because he is suffering from
neurastliemia and is on the verge of
vervous collapse by reason of mental
anguish, owing to his imprisonment.
“Second, because he is innocent of
the charges on which he was convicted
by the courtmartial, and the only way
he can establish bis innocence, so he
says, is by pressing to trial the charges
embraced in the Georgia indictment,
which he asserts cannot be tried because
of his absence from Georgia.”
General Denial.
As to the first ground, the solicitor
general submits an argument tending
to show Carter’s sound mental condi
tion, and files with the court the affida
vits of five physicians who examined
Carter and affirm in declaring that Car
ter is not suffering from nenrasthemia;
that he is not on the verge of nervous
collapse; that his nervous condition is
not greater than one would expect to
find in a healthy person of Carter’s
standing confined in a prison.
Affiants further say that Carter is now
physically and mentally sound. This
affidavit is supplemented by affidavits
from the warden and physician of the
prison.
The allegations in the second ground
for release are also denied..

Richmond, April 17.—District No. 5
of the Independent Order of B’nai
B’rith, embracing the states of Mary
land, Virginia, North and South Caro
lina. Georgia and the District of Colum
bia, is in biennial session here. The re
port of President Weil showed the num
ber of admissions by card during the
two years to be 57, losses 212, with a net
loss of 155, making the present member
ship 72.
The following officers were elected for
the nexr two years: President, Samuel
Gauss, Washington; first vice president,
D. Kauffman, Atlanta; second vice Dres-
ident, S. Salabes, Baltimore; secretary,
J. L. Levy. Richmond; sergeant al
arms, R. Margolius, Charlotte; treasu
rer. Aaron Goodman, Baltimore.
Hon. Simon Wolf addressed the con
vention, giving a history of the Hebrew
Orphan asylum at Atlanta. He said
that no institution in the country is
doing a greater work for the rebuilding
of the Jewish race. The institution is
in a flourishing financial condition and
is fast growing in importance. Mr.
Wolf stated that the asylum has re
cently sent out a young niau thoroughly
trained in the art of practical and scien
tific farming.
“This,” said the speaker, “will do
much toward decreasing the prejudice
toward our race. What we need is
farmers and the day is coming when we
will have them.”
Mr. Wolf then went on to enumerate
the class of young people that are being
turned out from the institution. The
list includes lawyers, doctors, soldiers
and in fact representatives in all the va
rious pursuits of life.
President Samuel Ganss was unani
mously elected as district representative
of B’nai Brith to the Atlanta asylum.

Kirby, the negro who murdered’ Julius
Eskew near Hastings Saturday, has

will recover. Kirby seems to suffer but
little, and is indifferent as to his posi
tion. Robert Lee, who was Kirby’s ac
complice to the terrible deed, is also
confined in the jail He is stolid, and
talks but little. They will be tried at
the next term of the circuit court, which
will convene here next week.

TO FIGHT NEW LiQUOR LAW
Alabama Dealers Say That It Is Un
constitutional.
Montgomery, Ala., April 17.—The
wholesale and retail liquor dealers of
Montgomery are going to fight the new
revenue bill passed by the last legisla
ture, which raises the license of whisky
dealers
The retail liquor dealers in this city
have been paying au annual license of
$325. Under tT.e new law it was raised
$25. The retail dealers out of the ciiy
have been paying §225. They are re
quired, under the new law, to pay §300.
The wholesale liquor dealer’s license
was raised §150.
The whisky dealers claim they have
already paid their licenses for this year
and they protest against paying the in
crease.
Ac a massmeeting of the wholesale
and retail liquor dealers it was decided
to fight the biil on the ground that ic
was uncontitutional.
Counsel has been employed and a test
case will be made in the courts.
The liquor men contend that the state
has no right to demand a license tax
after they have already paid a licence
for the year. They also allege that the
bill is unconstitutional because the
speaker pro tern has no right to sign a
bill during the absence or the illness > t
the speaker of the house.
