SHIPP APPEAL DENIED.
Defendants Will tie Sentenced on No
\eniber 10.
Washington, Nov. 1.?The unu<u;il
proceedings of an arraignment fur
sentence at the liar of the Supreme
Court of the United States Will bi
witnessed two weeks from today, in
accordance with an announcement
made today In the cases or Jos. II
Shipp, of Chattanooga, Teno., und five
co-defendants. charged with con?
tempt. The court today denied mo?
tions for a rehearing of the cas s. ?
The cases originated in the court's
deciding In March, 11106, to consoh r
the appeal of a negro named Ed
Johnson from a verdict of the Ten?
nessee court, holding him guilty and
sentencing him to be hanged on a
charge of criminal assult. The night
after the determination of the Su?
preme Court to review the proceedings
In the case was wired to Chattanooga,
where Johnson was confined in ja?,
a number of people stormed the jail
and took him out and lynched him.
The court was much incensed over
the lynching, and at its instance, the
Attorney General instituted proceed?
ings against Shipp, who was the sher?
iff, and the jailer and twenty-five
others supposed to have been implicat?
ed In the lynching, charging them
with contempt of the Supreme Court.
Many of the accused were exonerated,
and in the end only six were found
guilty. These were Sheriff Shipp, his
deputy, Jeremiah Gibson, who was the
jailer; Luther Williams, Nick Nolan,
Henry Padgett and Wm Myers, resi?
dents of Chattanooga.
The finding of the court was an?
nounced In May, just before the close
of the last term of court, but all the
defendants entered motions for a re?
hearing, which had the effect of post?
poning action until the present
term.
The court today, through Chief
Justice Fuller, announced Its denial of
the motions, the Chief Justice stating
at the same time the decision to have
the defendants appear on November
IB to receive sentence.
It will be the duty of Marshal
Wright to present the men in court,
but he said today that he expected all
of them to appear to hear the court's
verdict, which would relieve him of
the trouble of goim? after them.
The court has the discretion to eith?
er fine or imprison the men or to in?
flict both penalties, and no intimation
has been given as to what course may
?<e pursued. It Is only known thai
from the beginning of the proOfaQing
the court has appeared exceptionally
Interested In the case, and Is believed
to feel that nn example must be mude
to prvent other Indignities to the
court.

pains through my loins. My head
ached constantly, I could not rest
well and in the morning I felt tired
and languid. Since using Doan's Kid?
ney Pills, procured at China's drug
store, I am free from backache and
pains in my loins, am able to rest well
and the kidney secretions are regular
In passage. The headches have

for the great relief I have received.''

GEORGIA WELCOMES TAFT.
ACOX G1YFS HDi SI BSTANTlAIi
BKKAKFAST.
vannah How e\ er Has Prepared un
Ambuscade for Him and He Must
Go Up Against the Deadly Artillery
Punch.
Macon, da., Nov. 4.?President Taft
rrived early this morning and took
reukfast at the home of Congressman
harles L, Partlett. The repast was
n old-time Georgia meal and partic
larly appealed to the palate of the
president, jaded by French cooking
nd 'steen-course dinners. The entire
breakfast was placed on the table and
the guests helped themselves or asked
their neighbors to "please pass" what?
ever food they desired.
This was the menu: Big dish of
birds, country sausage, ham and eggs,
fried chicken, hominy with red ham
gravy, hot rolls, waffles, beaten bis?
cuit, hoe-cake, battercakes, country
butter, fried sweet potatoes, more
friend chicken, coffee, cream milk.
This evening the president Will ar?
rive in Savannah, w here a more elab?
orate feed awaits him. Feeding a
president is now the popular pastime
n Georgia.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 4.?President
Taft will be "up against" the hardest
proposition of his tour when he arrives
here this evening. He is to be invited
?nay, urged?to have a bout with the
famous Chatham artillery punch,
which already has many distinguished
visitors to its credit. The concoction,
which requires a week to Tirew, is now
said to be ready for the president. If
he partakes of it, he will prove his
bravery beyond all criticism.
Presidents, statesmen, governors
and naval officers have attacked artil?
lery punch and all have been worsted.
It is the regular John L. Sullivan of
drinks. The most distinguished victim
of Chatham artillery punch was a
very high government official. He was
entertained royally in Savannah and
liked the concoction. He drank one
or two glasses, and possibly a third.
All after that was extra ballast and
the result was that he lay "sick with
a fever" on board a warship in the
port of Sa\annah for two or three
days. A Georgia gov, 1 nor died short
ly alter a bout with this puneh. He
was overtrained, the doctors said.
The most recent distinguished vic?
tim of the punch was Admiral Dewey.
He took some salad and chased it
With the punch. The Admiral laid his
troublea to the salad.
The punch is a Savannah invention.
It was lirst brewed for the Chatham
Artillery by a local saloon keeper. It
proved such a good bit of ammunition
that it has been kept in the family,
and its formula has been cherished as
'a valuable token from one generation
to another. There is always in the
Chatham Artillery a man with the se?
cret of the brew wrapped up In his
hreast. The present keeper of this
great asset of the Chatham's is Lieut.
Mariana Papy.
President Taft will be urged to try
his luck.
The Mikado's Birthday.
Tokio, Nov. 3.?One hundred and
one salutes fired from every fort In
the empire signalized the beginning
of the Mikado's birthday celebration
today. All offices, schools, banks and
large business houses are closed and
the national flag is hoisted on all pub?
lic buildings as well as many private
residences. Many high dignitaries,
both civil and military proceeded to
the imperial palace this morning to
present before the throne their* con?
gratulations, while those in the coun?
try and abroad sent their congratula?
tions by mail through the Minister for
the Imperial Household. The Em?
peror entertained at breakfast in the
palace all the foreign representateves
and high dignitaries of the Empire.
