Catts Acquitted On Peonage Charge __ f Former Governor of Florida Steps Through Meshes of Law Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 20 (By the Associated Press).?Sidney J. Catts, former governor of this state, was found not guilty by a jury in fed eral court here tonight which tried him on a charge of peonage. - The jury deliberated .only nine minutes. In fact speed characteriz ed the case from the beginning. The : former governor was alleged to have held John Henry Rogers in bondage on his farm, after he had been pardoned from life time sen tence during his term of office. A second indictment charged him with holding Ed. Brown in the same j manner, his trial today dealing with the former. I The court took the case this (morning, consumed less than an ?hour in selecting a j?ry and ad-1 'vanced rapidly into a night session. jAt the conclusion of testimony 'at j 1J o'clock both sides waived argu ment and Judge W. B. Sheppard delivered his charge. The defense countered the pros ecution's claim that the negroes ! were held in peonage with the j contention that their labor was of 5"their own volition and constituted ! nothing more than an agreement fthey entered into with Mr. Catts I in payment by him of a $50 debt {incurred by the negroes in counsel fees incident to their pardons. The defense centered most of its j case on an effort to break down i j the claims of the negroes that j they never had any money, the: negroes having admitted they werej j well treated, clothed and fed. Inj this connection-, approximately a! dozen witnesses including repu- j table citizens arid negro intimates' of Rogers and Brown testified they i seemed to.be always supplied with 1 ready cashJte1 ? District ?Ttorney Cubberty indi- ' cated he would move tomorrow that an identical indictment relating to i Ed. Brown be nolle pressed.

The in creasing demanu ior labor sees evidences on every hand these.days.

'Devereaux. representing the alum inum company, came* to Columbia tyjd selected the men he wanted. A larg?- number called at the city hall at the appoitited hour and on?? by one passed before Mr. Devereaux, to be rejected or accepted. Each had t<? measure up to certain phy sical qualifications. On*- young man. who was strong and ?p-standing, measured up to all requirements, and then mention ed that he owed a rent bill, of sev eral months duration, and he did not want to leave this on his wife and family. Mr. Devereaux prompt ly paid the entire amount, wiping out the debt, and accepting the young man for the work in the aluminum plant. Several young men were turned down because of being underweight. 4 ^ ? The funny thing about a business revival is that those who have faith are not the ones at the sioumcr's bciieh. WORLD NEW Sofia.

Nov. 20.?That the situation in congress is-better than if a Democratic victory had been recorded is the opinion expressed by leading political observers and by officials. Congressman H. P. Fulmer, of the seventh congression al district, on his way to Washing ton yesterday for the extra session of congress, commented interest ingly on the situation. He stated that he was very much pleased j with the Democratic situation throughout the country and feels J confident the coming congress will be a step, in the direction of Dem- j ocratic victory in If24, Mr. Fulmer expressed the opin- j ion that should the election have j brought a Democratic majority in I congress, all errors and unpopular' moves would have be.cn blamed on the Democratic party, and would have served to overcome the strength of the party in the next! presidential election. With the Re publicans in power, the mistakes that are inevitable will work to the defeat of the G. O. P. The "ins" wltl go out: the "outs*' will go in. Mr. Fulmer predicts the election of a Democratic president in 1924. At the same time Mr. Fulmer ex pects the strong Democratic vote in congress to act as a restraint on G. C. P. tactics .?nd to result in some- satisfactory legislation. The seventh district congress man predicts that the Republicans will make a strong effort to pass the ship subsidy bill at the extra session, which starts this week, for it will never pass, &e says, the new; congress. Mr. Fulmer stated further thatj he considers President Harding's' recess appointment "of Joseph Tol- j bert as marshal for the western district as a "last resorj;" 6f the president, and he does ??ot believe the regular appointment will be confirmed. ? ? ?
