Iifir GajMr Skilled tke Tincoat Be fore a Lane Aidieace FIEND CAUGHT CREATED A SENSATION BxtraonUnaiT’ 0</nrence at News* _ paper Banquet in New York on Thursday Night.—Hearst Absent and His Business Manager Refus ed Permission to Speak. l-he annual joint banquet of the . Ass iciated Press and the American •' Newspapers Phbllshers’ Association at Sew York was thrown into riotous and prolonged disorder Thursday nigut, when Thomas T. Williams, •bu.'iurss.manager for W.'r. Hearst, w lefused permission to speak as he rose to reply to biting criticisms M. ..or Gaynor had just made on Mr. He; rat’s part in journalism. ’jM>r twenty-five minutes the uproar continued, while men stooti in their chi...s and women craned from the balconies of the banquet hall. “Mr. Hearst lg not present. 1 am his friend and have a <4ght be heard, shouted Mr. Williams, climbing onto the speaker's table and shaking his fist in the face of the mayor. Put him out,” “shut up.” “free speech,” came from all parts of the hail. i.he toastmaster, C. N. Wright, of the Cleveland Leader, hammered in vain for order, while Mr. Williams stood Impassive, but obstinate, and w..ited to be heard. ‘ This is a disgrace to the press of the United States. It must end, shouted Adolph S. Ochs, proprietor of the New York Time*, as ne stood on his chair behind the toastmaster and begged for a word. ,T Mr. Williams. I promise you, has less than forty words to speak, let me say them for him.” "No, no,” yelled the diners “Mr. Williams says,” began Mr Ochs . "No, no,” broke In the thoroughly angered diners, with added Insisi- en'**. Mr. Ochs sat down, while the or chestra thundered “Dixie,” but Mr William* still kept his feet and a semblance of calm was not restored until the Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis. of Brooklyn, with a witty and feliel- tlons speech brought laughter that drove out anger. The directors, executive members of the Associated Press and the American Newspapers Publishers' /'soclatlon had met at their annual Joint banquet at the Waldorf As ti da. Several hundred sat down to the banquet tables. Mayor Gaynor, the guest of honor and first speaker, took for his subject ‘The Press In Its Re lations to Public Offttcials.'' He spoke i s Is .his wont, and as he had been Invited to do, without mincing words “Those having power,” he said, should use it justly, kindly and mod erately. That makes their ads a'l the more effective. I measure my k words In saying your power for good Is immense. Your power for evil Is not so great as some may think "The public official who tries his best to do right and who knows how to do right, cannot be hurt by you Fome may abuse him, even lie and forge about him, but they are power less to hurt him. You can neither make nor unmake an honest and competent official. "The press as a whole Is just to public officials. When the election Is over, Its wholesome wish is to see that the one who Is elected gives pood government and to help- him do so But if a publisher or editor be him self a perennial office seeker he may desire to assassinate every one in his way and then. alas, what a disgrace he hrlngs on journalism.” These references, unmistakably drawn from the mayor's own political experience In a campaign of unexam pled bitterness, Just passed, he drove home with names and specific in stances. in an attack of almost un exampled bitterness on W. Randolph Meant, who ran against him for the mayoralty, and who has since his ad ministration sharply, he applied epi thets seldom heard in public speak Ing. Then followed the scene here-to- lore described. When order was re. Stored, WToodrow Wilson, president oi Princeton University, emphasized tha decline of the editorial in power, and the growing Importance of prompt, accurate and unbiased news gather ing. HE ADMITS HIS QUILT AND WILL BE HUNG SOON. Several Persons Are Fatally Bayo neted by the Troops Guarding the Fiend Before Mai. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of infuriated crowds, that were kept from. securing the pris oner by a company of militia which wounded four men with bayonets to protect their charge. Howard Harris, a negro confessed to assaulting Mrs. Effiie McMillan Dutton at Thomas- vilie, Ga., Thursday, and was sen tenced by Judge Mitchell to be hang ed on May 20. The jury was out only one minute. No defense was made either by Har ris or the lawyers appointed by the court to represent him. As soon as the verdict was announced the mob dispersed and all evidences of disor der passed away. Orders for two additional companies of militia, sent earlier in the day were countermand ed. The trial was held while the troops picketed all approaches to the court house. No one was allowed near the building except those directly con nected with the case. The arrest of Harris Wednesday in Florida caused large crowds to gath er on the streets that night and trou ble was feared. The Tfiomasville Guards were ordered out at the time and sent to Valdosta to meet the officers who were bringing Harris back for trial. The prisoner arrived Thursday morning shortly before noon accompanied by Sheriff Single tary and the escort of Thomasvllle Guards. An immense crowd gathered at the depot on arrival of the train, but it was stopped at the Broad street crossing and the prisoner taken off The crowd made a rush for Broad street when they found it out. The prisoner was marefied down the street accompanied by the sher iff and military. - At the intersection of Broad and Jackson the mob made an attempt to take Harris hut was driven back by the soldiers. The mol) followed to the court house, trying to get the prisoner, but failed Messrs J H. Merrill. W C. Snodgrass and Fondren Mitchell were appointed by Judge Mitchell to defend the negro. In the clawh between the soldiers and mob four men in all, were injur ed bv the militiamen when they at tempted to seize the prisoner. Curtis Falinds and Alex Barrymore receiv ed serious wounds the latter being pierced through the stomach by a bayonet. There was ho s.hooting. After the sheriff and soldiers suc ceeded in getting Harris safely to the court room, the trial proceeded in an orderly manner. The prison er was identified by his victim, and immediately after confessed to the crime. No defense was made and the court at once passed the death sentence WHAT GAYNOR SAYS. Accused W. R. Hearst of Forgery anil W illful Lying. In denouncing Hearst at the news paper banquet in New York on Thursday night Mayor Gaynor, among other things said: "As late as the ir>th of this month W. R Hearst printed in his princi pal newspaper here the fac-simile of a draft on the treasury of this city for $48,000, with .headlines and an artMe attributing such draft and the expenditure to the present mayor. The draft, the mayor said, had been dated in December, but the date had not been shown in the publi cation, having been routed off, as he said he had been informed. , ‘Continuing, he said: "In pfa;n words, two state prison felonies, namely forgery and falsification of a public document, were committed in the eagerness of this publisher and editor to wrong f.be mayor of the city of New York. "It is high time these forgers and libellers were In state's prison, and the time is not far distant when some of them will be there. “And just think of a man who is capable of doing t.bings like this, be ing possessed of the notion that he is fit to hold any office from mayor to President of the United States. “Morally speaking, his mind must be a howling wilderness. Never will the voters anywhere put such a man in office.” See Comet and Die.

When Two- Thousand Federal Sol diers Were Drowned Recalled by the Reunion of Survivors. The society of the survivors of the famous Sultana disaster held its an nual reunion Wednesday In the town of Prospect, a short distance from Knoxville, Tenn. The day was the 45th anniversary of the burning and sinking of the steamboat on the Mis sissippi and the handfuLof survivors who miraculously escaped death met to exchange reminiscences of the disaster, which was one of the most appalling In the nation’s history. The steamboat Sultana was built at Cincinnatti 1863, and was a reg ular packet running between New Orleans and St. Louis. During the war the boat did considerable bus iness for the government of the Unit ed States in transporting troops along the Mississippi river. On the illfated trip that marked the end of her career the Sultana left New Orleans April 21, 1 865, and arrived at Vicksburg April 24, remaining there 26 hours. At Vicksburg 1,965 soldiers, or two fulL regiments, and 35 federal officers who had been paroled, hav ing been In the Confederate prisons at Andersonvllle, Macon and Cahaoa, and also two companies of infantry, were taken on board, making mo r e than 2,200 persons on the boat. The homes of the soldiers were In Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mich igan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ne braska, Kansas and West Virginia. Every available foot of space was occupied by the soldiers and the re gular passengers. In fact, the boat was grreatly overcrowded. On the morning of April 26 the Sultana reached Memphis, where a large quantity of sugar was unloaded. Early in the morning of the next day the boat left Memphis. Alnnit four o'clock p. m., occurred the terrific ex- plor4{on which destroyed the boat and sent hundreds of smrfs to death The explosion occurred near Hen and Chicken Island, one of the four boil ers of the boat bursting. The vessel caught fire and it was at once evident that the vessel was doomed and with It the majority of those on board. Hundreds of pas sengers Jumped from tfb* burning boat to the water, only to be swal lowed up by the current. A few were saved by clinging to pieces of the wreckaee Others managed to swim for miles, only to perish from exhaustion. Seven boats were hurriedly sent from Memphis to pick np the sur vivors who could t>e found. Some of these were taken to Memphis others to St. Ixniis and Cairo. They were placed in military hospitals, where they remained until they had recov ered from their Injuries. But nearly all of the 2.200 persons on board the Ill-fated craft had perished. A SERIOUS CHARGE. Two Drummers Arrested for Assault on Young Woman.

Sunday afternoon, Hugh Kenny and T B. McNeel. two travelling men ot New York, are held by the offieials on a charge of attemtped criminal assault. fThe police were notified that some thing was wrong Sunday afternoon by H. W. Mitchals, a hardware man who travels for a Savannah firm. He says that ail afternoon he heard the girl pleading and begging to be let alone, and that she struggled vlo- IqiiUy with one of the men who was ai^** by another girt named Bertha Hu.itwird. Mitchell says that finally Miss Starr, as he heard the sounds, became hysterical, and it was then that he summoned the police. BETTER PLANT CORN, Farmers Urged Not to Plant Second Cotton Crop. Every planter whose cotton has been Injured should replant in corn and not attempt to grow a second stand of cotton,” said Georgia State Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson Wednesday. Mr Hudson was discussing the effect of last week's cold wave op the cotton crop, at least 50 per cent of which has been ruined. “Cotton never grows well where it has been killed by the cold,” add ed Mr. Hudson. .. . Mr. Hudson Is Inclined to take an optimistic view of the situation In the”Soutk. "^fthat the planters have lost in quantity will be coun terbalanced by the increased price of cotton, whidh its scarcity will cause, and the South will suffer little financially by the cold wave,” he says. SPREAD TERROR Nat Ekfkuti Null TkrMft At Strut! tfDurifle DESTROYING PROPERTY TAKE ONE MORE MARCH OLD HEROES CHEEKED IN MO- BILK BY THRONGS. Several Person* Were nHrt and Hev eral Buildings end Tree* Over thrown by the Huge Animal* Af ter they Escaped front the Circuit and Before They Were Penned. (At Danville, Illinois, on Wednes day several persons were injured and much property was damaged by nine elephants that stampeded just after they had been unloaded from a car after several hours ride from Chte- agp. A large elephant made a break for liberty bowling over the keeper and escaping. The animal waq followed by seven other bulls, which ran bellowing through the streets and across the fields. Later, while the entire force of trainers an keepers were engaged in the usual sport of hunting ele phants In automobiles, a female ele phant escaped. For several hours the elephants were at large, hunted by all the at taches of the circus, the city police men and the more venturesome cit izens. Tfie elephants at first moved In a bunch, then seperated. They stopped for nothing except brick and stone buildings. Such small frame structures as coal sheds, fences, and trees as came in their path were pushed over, trodden down, uprooted and thrown to one side. At the home of William Miller three elephants found sufficient room to pass between the summer kitchen and house, so they pushed the kit chen aside, frightening the persons inside from the table, hut injuring no one. At the home of Joseph Peebles, af ter overturning a shed and killing a horse, one of the animals attacked Peebles and hurled him against the side .of the house. Peebles Is In a critical condition. 'Barney O’Neal, a liveryman, was thrown from his wagon by the ele phants as they dashed down a side street In front of his team. F. K. Rab!>e, one of the keepers, while as sisting in stabling three of the bulls after their capture, was hurled sud denly against the side of a barn and injured. Several other persons'were slightly injured, mostly because of horses frightened by the pachyderms or through their own fright during the stampede. More than 100 homes were dam aged to some extent by the elephants, but the total loss probably will not exceed $10,000. Several truck gar dens and orchards were partly ruin ed in the outskirts of the city, while many shade trees were broken, or uprooted. TAGGART IjOKEK IN INDIANA •lobii W. Kern Nominated for United Stales Senator. Opening In riotous discord and closing In enthusiastic harmony, the Indiana Democratic Convention, at Indianapolis adopted Governor Mar shall's proposal Thursday, that it should endorse to next year s Legis lature a candidate for the United States Senate, and named John W. Kern, who was the party's candidate for the Vice Presidency in 1908. The opposition made a grim fight, under the leadership of Thomas Tag gart, former chairman of the Demo cratic national committee and him self a candidate for the nomination for Senator, but, in defeat, it joined heartily with the element headed by Governor Marshall and John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, vice chairman of the national committee—and an other aspirant for the Senatorship— in a shouted acclamation of Kern as the party's candidate. This greater issue over&hadowed the routine of adopting a platform and naming a State ticket, and it was speedily concluded. WHIPS LOBBY SPURT. Craard With Booze. lAt Welch. W. V«..

Masher Tried to Flirt With Wrong Woman. In true English style, Mrs. Seitlie Spivey gave R. H. Bluffington, who She says, tried to flirt with her, a good thrashing In an Atlanta theatre on Wednesday night. As a result the “'mere man” with a black eye and otherwise the wfrrse Por the encounter is occupying a cell In the police station charged with “mash ing.” When Bluffington made fefh alleg ed advances ihe was attacked by Mrs Spivey. wJio used her fists to such advantage that he was soon down for the count. Finally by a desper ate effort he succeeded in warding off his fair antagonist long enough to beat a hasty retreat from the theatre, only to fall Into the clutches of the Killed Five People. Five men were killed April 22 by an explosion on the Southern Psclfl- c freight steamer El Alba, which was picked up in distress off the mouth of the Mississippi river Thurs day. Tbs announcement wss made when the steamer reached New Or- While Tftcnty Band* Played “IMxle," Fifteen ThouHand Veteran* Parad ed With Battle Hearted Flags. Thursday was a great day for Mo bile, when with halting stops and trembling limbs, gray-beafed and fee ble, with eyes In which the fire of youth has been dimmed by the none too gentle passing year*, but with hearts full of pride and Joy, fifteen thousand veteran soldiers of the Confederacy marched beneath the battle-scarred flags which they fol lowed In the sixties. Shoulder to shoulder, with comrades who endur ed together the hardahips of war,-to the soft strains of “Dixie” played In two score bands, encouraged by the cheers of the biggest crowd Mobile has ever entertained, the annual pa rade of the Veterans passed intp his tory. The weather was perfect. The sun was bright and ‘varm, but a breeze from the Gulf tempered its rays and made Ideal marching conditions. The line of march was elaborately decor ated with buntlag and streamers. Huge archps carried words of wel come to the Veterans and from every building the Stars and Bars and the Stars and Stripes swung togethc flapping lazily in the breeze. Majo. Gen. George Harrison, commander of the Alabama division, was the grand marshal of the parade. To simplify the parade formation, a map of the line of march had been prited show ing the exact spot at which each of the twenty-six divisions was to form The preliminary arrangements for the parade were so perfect that the head of the column was set in motion three minutes before the time for starting, 10 o’clock. Gen. Clement A. Evans, who was to have commanded the parade, was too weak and 111 to review it, and the new Commander-In-Chief, Gen. Geo W. Gordon, surrounded by his staff replaced him. Gen. Gordon expr.ess ed deep regret that the white-haired old rommander could not round out his’ office by directing the closing movement of the troops of the Re union. The parade followed the line of march assigned to It, and counter marched through historic Bienville square, where Gen. LaFayette once reviewed the Continental troops. In a huge reviewing stand the general officers and guests of honor watched the parade pass In review One of the prettiest features of the parade was the march of the spon gers and maids of honor of the Sons of Veterans Mobile has a total of 36 public carriages—not enough to carry all the maids and sponsors— so the sponsors and maids of the Veterans were given the carriages and tha pretty young women who came with the Son* inarched at the head of the various camps to which they were attached. There were some curious feature* in the parade. A number of old ne gro soldiers were In line, among them Jefferson Shields, who claims to have been Stonwall Jackson’s cook. Jeff was covered with Reunion badges and carried a live chicken under hts arm. When asked what he was do ing with the chicken, he replied that he was just carrying his lunch. In the Virginian division were a group of old soldiers carrying wasp nests on the end of canes FIGHT PISTOL DUEL. On Railway Platform ami Both Re ceived Fatal Wound*.

The Making of Finer Cloth* Lemeti the (Ytaiuimotion of South Caro lina Upland Cotton* An effort Is being made by the department of agriculture to encour age the growth of long staple cottoh and to this end seed have been fur nished to 2,000 farmers in. this state. The growth qf long staple cotton means a great saving In freight rates, imth to the producer and the manu facturer. The texlle plant* of the State are desirous that the farmers llscard the short for the long sta ple ootton. Commissioner Watson and Ira W. Williams, State agent for the United States farm demonstration work In this State, have been urging for some time the growth of the long staple and are using every means of Interesting the farmers. Speaking of the situation Wednesday Mr. Wat son said: “This whole matter of the situa tion In South Carolina, and as to our efforts to cure it. Is due to an en tirely changed economic condition. The main facts In the case have been correctly stated In the press. Prac tically all of the South Carolina cot ton crop today Is short staple, and a ’ecreaslng porportlon of It Is now elng used in the texlle plaints of the State. A considerable part of It Is being sent to export. There were at the end of the year 1909 only 15 mills In the State on the old-time coarse goods, for the Far Eastern" markets and only half their products were ooerse goods. “The truth of the matter is ch it an Increasing proportion of the cot ton being annually consumod In the mills of Uh» State Is Imported fror. the Yazno sealoe of MtamavV;*. anil from Eqy the staples being requir ed ranging from 1-1-8 to 1 1-4 In hos This condition having l« -i.i * r develop romp years ago, ' In- been our effort to develop an upland long staple oo*t; i, rariyirg 'he iength of staple ml esmi right her^ in South Carolina a.i<1 hero in ti)!» office tian-s a dloh bn cc Hfjliv to the award of a »o.d nied*; in this State for the production o f thia best variety of cotton. “At t-cveral noli.* in tMa the special breeding of at least this-' varieties, which, upon testa In South Carolln, mills, meet the requirement of the manufacturer, has been under way for several years, an 1 every pound of the seed that Is novr being Introduced in the effort to raise cot ton at home suitable for msnutse- turlng at home is South Carolina raised cotton seed, and we have not bought one pound outside the State. What we are endeavoring to do is to raise our own seed of the exact staple necessary and then to get the farmer to use this seed instead of the common short staple so that thp vlrtnal Import freight charges Off the one hand and the_. ectUal export freight charges an the other will not be taken from the pockets of our bcifie people. In other words, we are trying to do on a large scale Just exactly what a few individuals have been trying to do, though we are not going so far as to try to produce too long a staple, for that will be just as bad as too abort a staple. “I shall not discuss the export and the Eastern side of thla matter with all of the details of which this de partment is thoroughly familiar. 1 migfit say, however, for the Infor mation of the farmer who is raising cotton that goes to export that the class of cotton he has been raising Is now being almost shut out of the great continental manufacturing mar kets for the reason that the stsplj^i' Is too short, the mills there now re quiring a staple not less than 28 mil limetres—1.1032 Inches—and not more than 30 mllllmeres—1.1801 inches. “In this whole matter this de partment, with the assistance of th« manufaoturera and with their en couragement—and I mean not only the consumer at home, but the con sumer abroad—Is endeavoring tl bring gbout such conditions as will save thousands of dollars to bofk the cotton producer and to the cot ton manufacturer In the StaU of South Carolina, and in bringing It about by the utilization of home de veloped and grown seed and raw ma terial.” NO 36.
