The meeting of the exposition board yesterday afternoon was a highly Important one. so on account of the selection of vtli ers and the other steps that were taken. nung the permanent organiza Uta.

Ilenephin Endor It. As soon as Dr. Spalding had completed hi. report Mr. Hemphlll arose and said I desire to most heartily second the nominations made by the committee.

I went Into this movement. continued he. not do- tiring position but simply In the hope that I might aid in building up a movement which I am certain will result in great good to the cloy and the country. I believe this exposition is going to be the most important thing that has ever happened for the good of Atlanta. and I am sure It is going to be a success.

When I first accepted the chalr- manshp I thought it would be rather a nominal position and I believed that I would be able to devote the necessary tme to it but as It has grown. I have realized that to till the position properly the president will have to devote practically all of his time to the work. This It would be Em. possible for me to do especially in the light the Increase of work and responsibility which has come to me on account of recent business changes of which you are all familiar. I thought then that the burden of all this would tall upon the shoulders of your director general but the developments have shown that the work must not rest entirely on any one mans shoulders and that a very great deal of It must necessarily belong to the man whom you choose as your president.

Now we have here the best board of directors I have ever seen. With this board I am sure that success would come to any enterprise and especially do I feel certain that the success will be assured If you have at ur head a man like Mr. Collier who Is active and energetic and in every HON. C. A.

COLLIER. Permanent President of the Cotton States and International Exposition Company. najorty or the members of the board were pre at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Chairman Hemphlll presided at the meet- log and Mr. Cabaniss acted as secretary.

Tho ttrt business was the report or the eom1dttie on permanent organization of wh-h Dr. It. D. Spalding was chairman. In submitting his report.

Dr. Spaldlng gave II ten. words of explanation In behalf of the OTmittI stating that President Hemp- ll and Secretary Cabaniss had consulted with the committee and had stated that It would be impossible for them to devote to the movement the time which they deemed necessary and to be expected of the president and the secretary. The big con- soldatlon or banking Interests which had reenty occurred and of which Mr. Hemphill was presin would require practically all 01 his time and Mr.

Cabantss had found that it was necessary for him lo give his time to his newspaper. and that It would be impossible therefore for them to hod these offices In the permanent organization. They had acted with the committee in the selection of their successors ash had heartily endorsed the selection which the had made. With this preliminary Dr. Spalding read the following as the committees report and moved its adoption Your CLmmlttee charged with the duty or nominating permanent officers for the exposition felt hat a serious responsibility was imposed on them.

The conclusion forced itself upon us that It would require all the time its principal officers. Had thls tact not been so apparent. their choice molt have en quickly made. We had in President Hemphlll and Secretary Cabanlos men in every way worthy and competent for the positions they held the temporary organization and altogether suitable for the permanent places. but a conference with these gentlemen de- 1 eloped the fact that their engagements were such that they could not give their satire time to the work.

They both grged us to do what was best for the Interests Of the expo and ottered freely and willingly to work in any way or in any Position for toe advancement of the enter- rls They unselfishly urged us to understand that po consideration of II. mere personal nature should enter Into our deliberations and that they proposed to work for this Stoat movement whenever and wherever UH board could best utilize the time they rtt be able to give from their busy lives. presenting the names below this corn- Settee feels that the time and services of who are second to none In the country be secured and that under their ad- stration there is every reason to be- the best results can be obtained and exposition made to realize our most Mne expectations. In conference lr Collier we were assured that he willing to devote his entire time to the nd to make any sacrifice to Insure uccess or the exposition. ould we have had such assurance of ser- from Mr.

Hemphlll as before stated i iuTjj8 Port we would gladly have nor I' wltn the permanent presidency of 4 wwnizatlo-i. and we are highly graU- rmL report that Mr. Hetnphlll cordially IIS2ve8 of the selection of the gentlemen HaSr11 by recognizes the lal importance of the principal way capable and who has the time to devote to the work. Mr. Collier Is my warm friend and I take pleasure In saying that he la the best man you could put in that posi- tion.

It gives me great pleasure to second the nomination of the committee so tar as It refers to him and to each of the other gentlemen whom they have nominated. Mr. Cabnnlmi Hearty Endorsement. Mr. Cabanlss also seconded the nomina.

tlon In a. very timely speech on the same line. He said that he had given his time cheerfully during the temporary organlza. tlon feeling that It was his duty to do so and he now was glad to do anything In his power to aid In the movement but he had taken the secretaryship with the express stipulation that it should be simply tempor. uy and he could not In Justice to his busl- ness Interests accept the permanent secre- taryrllp I am glad said he.

to second the nomination made by the committee. The members of this board are men not only capable of making the exposition all that Is expected but they are the men who have made Atlanta. I am sure that the exposition will be a. success In the hands of this board. With the officers they will select I am sure the exposition movement will not only surpass anything Which the south has ever known but wilt as tar as our means and advantages are concerned rival ny similar enterprise which the world hs ever known.

That It will be crowned with victory I have no doubt. A Rising Vote of Thanks Mr. S. M. Inman moved that before the vote on the committees report was taken.

the directors by a rising vote. express their thanks to the temporary chairman and temporary secretary for the splendid work they have already done in behalf of the enterprise. There were seconds to this motion from all parts of the room and when Mr. Inman put the motion. every member except the two mentioned rose and the vote was unanimous.

Then the vote was taken on the committees report and It was promptly adopted. Increasing the Capital Stock. Mr. J. J.

Spalding from the committee appointed at the last meeting to prepare a plan for the Increase of the capital stock In accordance with the Instructions given by the stockholders' meeting. submitted the following resolution which was 11 adopted. Resolved. by the board of directors of the Cotton States and International Expo- sltlon Company That the capital stock of said company and it Is hereby Increased from 100000 to COOOOO 1. That all subscriptions to the capital stock of said company heretofore made are accepted and approved.

and any part thereof which were in excess of the said 00COO capital stock shall be of force and attach to the said Increased capital stock. New Members of the Board. Two new members of the board were elected. Mr. Cabaniss nominated CapUin John W.

Netms Dr. Spalding nominated Captain A. J. West. Both were unanimous- ly elected.

Governor Bullock moved that hereafter. nominations for places on the board of directors made through the executIve committee. He said th he hKl several names nlmseit to proposi but ftt tj t--- feW that the proper-course which nominations should take and his motion unanimous adopted. A. communication was read from Venable Bros.

Invitingthe members of the board tO attend a barbecue- to be given In honor of the International League Pros Clubs. The board will accept the Invitation and probably all of them will attend. Colonel Awery Chosen. Director General Palmer reported that acting under instruction of the last meet. he and the tempvrary president had appointed Colonel W.

Avery to take charge of the matter of securing the endorsement of southern comonerical bodies of the exposition. The appointment Is to cover a period of sixty days and Colonel Avery had already entered on hi work. On motion of Gover- nor Bullock. this action was approved. A resolution adopted by the executive committee of the woman's board of managers was presented by Mr.

Howell. and was adopted by the board. It provided that a pamphlet be gotten out at once giving the scope and Intent of the Cotton State and International exposition with the names of officers In order that proper Information concerning the subject might be furnished the delegates to the coming press convention and for others who might make in qulry for such Information. The director general and secretary were Instructed to prepare such a pamphlet. To Meet on Saturday.

Neither the new president nor the new secretary was present at yesterdays meet. log and the storm that was raging made it impossible to get them by telephone. It was decided to meet on Saturday afternoon at which time President Collier will report his standing committees. Settle the RaQroad Rates First. Editor Constitution Let our exposition management take timely warning from the fatal error made by the worlds fair people.

It will be remembered that hundreds of housands were kept from attending the worlds fair at Chicago because of the exorbitant passenger tares exacted by the railroads and which the exposition authorities were powerless to prevent. They had not foreseen the necessity of obtaining from the roads agreements for cheap fares until alter their money had been expended and the exposition formally opened. The railroads ca make our exposlon a great success and likewise they can kill it. Don't sp nd thousands perhaps millions of dollars for an exposition in Atlanta and like the Chicago people did theirs leave it in the hands and to the mercy of heartless grasping railroad corporations. Find out what sort of rates will be necessary to bring the people to and from Atlanta and settle this matter first of all by agreements with the roads before spending a dollar of the money our people have so liberally subscribed.

Yours truly E. M. H. COLONEL AVERY'S GOOD START. lie Secures a Splendid Endorsement for the Exposition.

All buslncrs bTth pxatofflcrirUl attOrtjirtUk i ilIlifiKE Jeff Roclmore lain Rescued from the TWICE ON THE EYE OF BEIEG HDflG Executive Interference Saves Him Within a Pew Hourt of the Time. REMARKABLE CASE OF A POOR NEGRO Ignorant and Ungainly and Without Yriend HeH en Twie. Sued Alter the Death Watch Was A second time Providence has stretched forth her hand and saved Jeff Rockmore from the gallows.

on the very eve of the day on which he was to be hung. The death watch at Decatur was removed yesterday afternoon and the hanging that was to have occurred at noon today has been deferred until May 4th perhaps to be ultimately declared off. When the last hope seemed gone and It seemed absolutely certain that the negro would go to the gallows today help came from an unexpected source and the engro was miraculously saved. Just as before a respite was granted at the eleventh hour. Governor Northen yesterday afternoon granted Rockmore a two weeks' respite nxmg the date of the execution for Friday May 4th.

This action was the result of a letter sent tothe governor late yesterday afternoon by Judge tichard H. Clark. Jndge Clark presided at both trials at which Roekmore was convicted and sentenced to hang. Within leas than twenty- four hours of the time set for the execution of the condemned negro the judge was moved to write a letter to the governor asking for a few days' grace. Judge Clarks letter vsud short and pointed.

He stated that having heard that a petition requesting uuve clemency In Rocksuores uenall hid been presented to the governor inc was muted to request the governor to grant a respite to the con- demend man unul jday tui in oiutr tn the petition mi be Usae more complete and elaborate. The juufce au U. informed that the utaiiWi in Lao governors hands was not a very nuniciuuii suiica document and tnat it ia been circulated more freely a larger camber of sign- era might have been procured. Basing his action enuieiy on Judge Clarks letter Governor oithen issueU a brief older postponing the execution unul May 4th as turned what action lie con- templattu previous to ue uou of lUt Juugx 8 letter Is not known. it is ueueveu nowever that no would not have inter- iertd with Inc extxuuuu oX the benteiaue of the court.

Rockmore received the news that meant two wetjita more of life to him late yesterday atternoon. He had been sitting in his dark cell gloomily looking lorward to a terrible death today. In tii grim corridor was toe ueath watch that a placed on duty by Sheriff Henry Austin early yesterday morning. Koclunore uuugru a little of a respite as ne thought of being translated bOWly to the skies. Yesterday was very much like that other Thursday ue spent In jail looking forward to death on the gallows the next aay.

we awoke to find the death watch already on duty and if any other reminder was necessary to assure him mat his time was short the noise of preparation of toe gal. low not fifteen feet from his cell was all that was needed. Rockmore is exceedingly Ignorant and he is as superstitious ed no Is Ignorant. He has no realization of the meaning of death to him It Is the acutest form of pain and like the great. vigorous strapping tellow that he Is he trembles at the anticipation of being killed.

His face wore all nay an expression of Intensest. sadness and there was a suggestion of suppresses tears about It. He seemed like some powerful brute conscious of Impending danger. His wife called during the morning and he talked with her awhile. He stated In an unmeaning fashion that he was trusting In the Lord and that If he was hung he hoped that It would be better with him.

lie seemed to have but one emotion tne tear of death. Late In the afternoon news of the governor's action reached Decatur and was quickly cairleol to him. His face brightened wonderluIiy anu he heaveu a sign of deepest relief Thank God for that he said. The governors action gave Rockmore great hope. It was so unexpected that coming In line with all the other miraculous interferences that have saved him from the gallows he was made to feel that the same providential agency that has saved him so often will ultimately save him from the gallows.

The petition In Rockmores behalf will be taken from tne governors hands and energetically circulated during the coming fortnight. His attorneys believe that enougn uams will be secured to induce the governor to commute the sentence to life Imprisonment. An effort will be made to have the jurors that convicted him sign the petition. Rockmores respite yesterday came In just the same way that ft did about a year ago when he was under sentence of death. Both were received late on the Thursday afternoon preceding the Friday set for his death and there was not an hours difference between tile time the news was re celved.

As has been stated In The Constitution previously there are few cases parallel to this one. Twice tried In the superior court twice In the supreme court twice respited by the governor and he an ignorant stupid unappreciative negro. possibly without a friend In the world save his wife who Is as Ignorant as himself. That sufficient Influence to have produced all these changes In his fate should have been brought to bear In such a case Is proof that human life Is not lightly valued and that common humanity still exists.

Strong Effort to Oust Him the Reorganization Committee. A SENSATION IN REVENUE RANKS Serious Charges Mid Against a Prominent Stamen Sues Breditreet for Misrepresenting Financially. Much interest centers in the decision or. Judge Newman which will be given this morning upon the petition of the central Trust Company for the removal of Keceiver Glover. A strong fight will be made an both sides and some lively sparring may be expected.

Tie petition for removal was tiled several weeks ago and action upon it has been twice postponed. This attempt to oust Mr. Glover conies from the reorganization corn- mluee which Is composed of ti. A. v.

Post William E. Con Henry norg. Newman Erb and Thomas Carusicbaei. It Ig the intention of this commutes to put in Ellas Sunnmerdeld. of New VOTK and they are prepared to make a desperate effort.

Before the ptitdOft for removal was presented. the organization committee sig rifled to the Central Trust Company their willingness to pay off and discharge the taxes amounting to over J. area tne loan of 52000 due the Central National bank of New York for wtoich receiver certificate are pledged. The committee also agreed to settle up all debts past due ann clear the road of a great part of Its in debtedness provided Summertteld WOUll Jo' appointed and Glover put out. The petition stated that tie design of the reorganization committee was to nnance the property by paying oft certain press- Ing debts immediately nil taking care that all current expenses should be protIlt- ly met In the future.

Certain charges were made against Ulov- er. upon which the argument of Juoge tten- ry B. Tompkins and Butler tiIman ann Hubbard who represent the Central Trust Company will probably be made today. These charges were to the ertect toat ReceWer Glover has been operating the tletta and North Georgia railroad unoer very embarrassing conditions by reason or a very large amount of debts due tor tax- es labor supplies money borrowed pMt due notes for equipment and interest one vpon receivers' certificates amounting to several hundred thousand dollars. Incas are the charges upon which the reorgz'-nI- zatlon committee base their cause tor re moval.

Refuting these charges the attorneys for Receiver Glover will show that he has been operating the road In the most satisfactory way possible In view or toe existing financial conditions and that as tar as possible he has sustained toe creeiit 01 the property under his charge. iroot win also be established showing the various Improvements conducted during fee receivership and pointing to the various causes for expenditure. There is a prooa- bllity also that serious charges wm brought against Elias Summerneld urging his Incapacity and calling attention to tile refusal of the court upon a previous occasion to appoint him receiver or toe seine rood. The fact that Mr. Glover was able to OD- taln a short while ago JSUiWU tor tne use of the Marietta and North Georgia will De a potent argument In his favor tomorrow as one of the most prominent charges against him In the petition tor removal was his Incapacity to obtain funds.

The result of Judge Newman's decision will be watched with much Interest. A Revenue Sen atlon. A big sensation In revenue circles will be sprung today and charges of a serious nature will be made against a. well Known deputy marsral. At his home In Norcroes Mr.

U. 1' Wrignt will be arrested and brought to Atlanta gi ded by his brother deputies. some time ago he made a raid upon an Illicit distillery and captured a large amount or mountain dew. There Is evidence against Wright to the effect that Instead or turn lug the whisky over to- the government he hid It for his own private consumption or sale. The case is of a serious nature and Is creating no little disturbance in revenue ranks.

Marshal Wright is a prominent man in his cvirnunlty and wts recommended In strong terms to United States Marshal un- Sap. Before his appointment he OXlaucto a Re distillery up near Norcross. This WAS burneu last year. The deputy will ens- photicUly refute the charges and intends to show that ht cording to the require ments turnel over all the stuff seizeo him to the proper authorities. Marsha Tunlnp Is incensed over the alleged aoings of Ins deputy and Intends to have the cue Investigated thoroughly.
