ASKS MERCY FOR
JOHN HOGELEY
JURY DOES NOT WISH BOY TO GO
TO PENITENTIARY AND ASKS
THE GOVERNOR TO PAROLE
HIM.
John Hugeley, the 14-year-old white boy
who was convicted in the Criminal Court
Friday of manslaughter in the iirst de
gree. it being charged that he killed his
playmate, George Carter, will probably
be paroled provided he can serve his
sentence at the Boys’ Industrial Farm
,at East Lake. The jury which convicted
Hugeley ilxed his punishment at three
years’ Imprisonment. They did not want
to send him to the penitentiary and came
and asked Judge Samuel E. Greene, who
presided at the trial, whether they could
send him to Splegler's farm instead of to
the mines where many convicts are sent.
Judge Greene told them that they could
not direct where the boy should be sent
to serve out his sentence, but that they
might make a recommendation. They
did this and asked that he be Bent to the
farm instead of the mines.
Yesterday a petition to the Governor
was being signed by the members of the
jury asking that Hugeley be paroled pro
vided he can serve his time at the Boys’
Industrial Farm. It is not known yet
whether this arrangement can be made
as the home at East Lake is rather
crowded, but arrangements to this end
will be made - possible. Judge Greene
will sign the petition to the Governor,
and probably Solicitor Heflin will sign It.
Hugeley Killed Carter by striking him
on the head with a heavy stick which
produced concussion of the brain, from
'which he died in a few hours after be
ing struck. The trouble began in a
quarrel between younger brothers of the
boys and the elders became involved in it.
BEEF REMAINS SAME.
Predicted Rise in Salt Pork Has Not
Materialized.
There was no change In the meat mar
ket yesterday. Dressed beef, which had
been selling here by the carcass for 10
cents, declined to 8 cents Friday, and it !
sold for 8 cents yesterday.
The predicted higher prices for salt
pork between the 1st and 5th of May
are not materializing very last. The car
load prices are about the same now that
they were early in the week. But these
prices are abnormally high and a big
decline will be hoped for, although pack
ers say quotations will be much higher
on the 1st of June than they are now.
Beef, on the other hand, will be much
lower, it is said, by the 10th of June
when Texas cattle come on the market.
BOY IS ACQUITTED. "
Thirteen-Year-Old Chester Lynn Was
Charged With Murder.
Chester Lynn, a white boy 13 years of
age. was acquittecj in the Criminal Court
yesterday of the charge of murder. He
was said to have murdered a negro boy
named Willie Stevens at Brookside.
The defendant admitted the killing, but
claimed it was done in self-defense, as
the latter was advancing on him with a
sprag. a piece of Iron used In locking the
wheels of mining cars. The boys had had
some trouble the day before, and it is
said Stevens, who was much larger and
stronger than Lynn, had badly beaten
the latter.
NOT READY TO TALK.
Mr. Heflin Refuses to Discuss the Re
port That He Is a Candidate.
Hon. J. Thomas Heflin, who has been
mentioned in connection with the race
for secretary of state, is in Birmingham,
having come to attend the Bryan ban
quet. He refused yesterday to make any
statement as to his Intentions with ref
erence to the political race.
He Intimated he was figuring on enter
ing for some office, but said he had not
made up his mind and would not do so
for some days, when he would inform the
public what he wanted.

SCHLEY REJOICES
IN LOVE OF PEOPLE
Admiral and His Wife Spend
Several Honrs in Birmingham
CROWD TURNED OUT FOR HIM
The Admiral Makes a Short Speech,
Saying Woman Behind the Man
Is Like Man Behind
the Gun.
* —
“I rejoice more In the love of my
people than any other earthly honor.”
—Winfield Scott ScMey.
..dmiral Winfield Scott Schley stopped
over four hours in Birmingham yester
day on his way to Chattanooga. He
reached the city at 12:30 o’clock, coming
from Meridian over the Alabama Great
Southern and left at 4T30 o’clock for Chat
tanooga. The admiral was accompanied
by Mrs. Schley and Miss Abort.
Quite a number of prominent citizens
were waiting at the station to meet the
admiral. Owing to the short time the
party was to remain in Birmingham no
attempt was made to give the admiral
a public reception but during his stay
many prominent citizens called on him.
As the train drew into the station the
admiral’s car was found to be the last.
Many citizens crowded on the platform
and Admiral Schley came out and shook
hands with them. The train was then
pulled out in order to switch the admiral's
car on to the side track. Just as t?h>
train started off Mr. William M. Lindsay
arrived with a large bouquet for the ad
miral. Although Mr. Lindsay Is lame ?fc
ran after the train, caught it and climb
ed aboard with his bouquet.
Crowded Into the Car.
The car was then placed on the side
track by the station and was quickly
surrounded by a large crowd anxious
to see and shake hands with the admiral.
They crowded into the car and at last the
pressure became so great that the admiral
had to reappear on the platform where he
was greeted with a rousing cheer. He
was called on for a speech. Several en
gines were puffing up and down, hauling
freight trains and making a groat racket.
“My friends,*” said the admiral, “I can’t
speak against these locomotives.”
“You’ve got to do It, though, admiral,’*,
shouted one admirer. The admiral real
ized this and spoke as follows:
“1 wish to thank you all from my heart
for this kind reception and tribute of
your good will. I appreciate it fully, I
assure you. I rejoice more in the love of
my people than any other earthly honor.'
(Cheers.)
Calls for Mrs. Schley.
The admiral spoke but a few words,
realizing that he could not be heard on
account of the noise, although the people
crowded as close to the car as possible.
Several came on the platform and shook
hands with him. Calls were then made
for Mrs. Schley, who had remained In
the can She came to the platform and
was received with a hearty and pro
longed cheer.
“My friends,” said the admiral, “the
woman behind the man is like the man
behind the gun They shape all the pur
pose of our life. We would not be worth
a salt herring without them.”
Mr3. Schley then retired inside the ear
.and the admiral shook hands with sev
eral ladles in the crowd. He stood on the
steps of the platform and leaned forward,
holding to the railing with his right
hand. He shook hands with his left, for
which he apologized, saying it was the
nearest to his heart. After he had spoken
to the ladles he also retired and the
crowd dispersed.
Many called on him during his stay, and
each had nothing but words of the sh
eerest love and admiration. Admiral
Schley occupies a place In the hearts of
the American people which no other liv
ing man could fill. He realizes this, and
his remark, ”1 rejoice more in the love of
my people than any other earthly honor,”
shows that he appreciates it.
Colonel Denson’s Pun.
“There are lots of Schley people here,”
said Colonel W. H. Denson to the ad
miral. “S-c-h-l-e-y as well as s-l-y.”
The admiral laughed at Colonel Den
son’s little pun and said that he realized
that the American people were with him.
He spoke of the invitations he received
from all sections of the country, and said
he was going to accept one from the peo
ple of Maine who had invited him to be
there on May 31. “They are sincerely
cordial in their Invitation,” he said.
“The Governor and others have urged me
to come, and I expect to do so.”
The admiral appears to be in excellent
health. His cheek is ruddy and his eye
clear. He has a charm of manner that
pleases all and which in a large degrey
contributes to his great popularity.
Shortly before his train left the train
bearing William Jennings Bryan reached
the station, and Mr. Bryan, with the
committee who had gone to meet him.
called on Admiral Schley. The latter ex
pressed his regret that he could not at
tend the banquet given to Mr. Bryan, and
after a short conversation between the
two Mr. Bryan took his leave, and the
admiral’s train started on Its run to
Chattanooga.

VETERANS TO HONOR
GEN. FITZHUGH LEE
HOTTEST THIRD OF MAY IN
LOCAL WEATHER RECORDS
Summer arrived yesterday. It did not
slide In. It came with a vengeance and
ran over everything in sight. It was a
day for the weather prophets to remem
ber. When they said it was the hottest
third of May they ever saw they told the
| truth. i
The full complement of heat landed
about 3 o'clock. It came Just before Wil
liam Jennlgs Bryan’s train pulled
In and while Admiral Schley’s special
oar was on the sidetrack. It was a re
cord breaker in honor of the two dis
tinguished guests.
When the weather man had nerve
enough to climb to the roof where the
instruments for recording the exact de
gree of torture are kept he found 93 as
the highest. He stopped, removed his
hat and mopped his brow. He did not ,
know how hot he was until he looked at
the thermometer. It was a sad awaken
ing.
The weather man then went to legging
up past records from their dusty lodging
places, paying particular attention to May
weather of past years. He became hotter
and hotter as he looked. He found that
by one degree this was the hottest third
of May on record. He even counted last
year, when the weather was so awfully
warm. It only showed 92 and he was dis
appointed.
The actual figures of the thermometer
yesterday were 78 degrees at 8 o clock in
the morning; 90 degrees at noon; 93 de
grees at 3 o'clock In the afternoon and 85
degrees at 7 o'clock tonight. Wouldn't
that make you hot?
The weather record since 1895 for the
first three days of May follows:
Year. First. Second. Third.
1895 . 84 90 82.
1896 . 79 82 82.
1897 . 60 70 75.
1898 . 87 81 88.
1899 . 86 88 90.
1900 . 85 82 84.
1901 . 92 92 90.
1902 . 87 98 93.

JACOBS GETS DECISION.
Sues Atlanta Druggists for Combining
Against Him.
In deciding in favor of Dr. Joseph Ja
cobs of Atlanta in his suit against mem
bers of the Atlanta Druggists’ Associa
tion, the Supreme Court of Georgia
made a decision which is far-reaching in
its effect and which will stop all further
attempts of druggists or tradesmen of
any other class from combining for the
purpose of forcing wholesale dealers not
to supply any other merchant with their
products.
The decision was handed down by Judge
Lumpkin, and held that such combina
tions were in violation of the common
laws of the state, and prosecution could
be made under such statutes. In his peti
tion Dr. Jacobs claimed that the other
druggists In Atlanta had combined for
the purpose of crushing his business, and
that such combination tended to lessen
competition. He also sued for $60,000 dam
ages. which suit was demurred.
Dr. Jacobs has two stores in Atlanta
and one In Birmingham. He does what is
termed a cut-rate business.
AN HONEST FRIEND. '
Cleared Away the Family Trouble*
There la not one thing on earth that
could enter a family and do as much
honest good and bring as much happiness
as in certain cases where coffee drinking
Is left off and Postum Food Coffee used
In Its place.
A family In Iowa Park. Texas, furnishes
a good illustration. The mother says,
"I want to tell you What happened in our
family when we left off coffee and took
up Postum. About eight months ago we
made the change. 1 had been, for quite
a while, troubled with rheumatism In my
right hip and shoulder, swimming of the
head, and fluttering of the heart, so I
thought I had heart trouble.
Sometimes In walking my head would
swim so that I would be obliged to sit
down. I had other disagreeable feelings
I cannot describe but they will be readily
understood by coffee drinkers if they
will confess it.
My family were also more or less ill
and were all coffee drinkers. Well we
gave up the coffee and started In on
Postum Food Coffee; husband, myself
and four children. Even the tw'o year
old body (she had been puny since hav
ing the grip! had her coffee along with
the rest of the family. When we made
the change to Postum she began to fatten
a*d now is perfectly healthy and fat as a
Pig 1
My boys, ten and twelve years of age,
are so stout and muscular that people re
mark about them and ask what makes
them so. I do not have any more trouble
with rheumatism or with my head,
neither does my husband, who was trou
bled much In the same way. We are all
In better health every way than we have
been before in years and we are always
glad of an opportunity lo recommend
Postum. I hope what 11have said will
lead others to make the change " Name
