21. A riot in which several thousand men, women and children took part occurred on Archer avenue today. The mob, which gathered to intercept a number of wagons under the escort conveying food to the car barns for the street ear strike breakers, charged the police and constables, shouting and throwing stones. A ronstable was struck on the head and badly cut. The police drew their revolvers and made a stand about the wagons, but refrained from shooting.

He said he would take up the matter with Secretary Wilson, who recently made a trip through the South to investigate the destruction wi ought by the pest. Secretary Wilson has said that the only remedy which suggests itself to him is that the planters put In their crops early, thus escaping the ravages of the weevil.

Planters of cotton hold, however, that early planting will not meet the emergency. Some plan, they contend, for the absolute extermination of the pest must be devised. It is understood that Secretary Wilson will make a recommendation in his annual report, which it is hoped by the cotton growers will be carried into execution. It is expected that the President will approve of any practicable suggestions that may be made by Secretary Wilson. In any event, he will do, it is said, all in Ills power to second the efforts of the cotton growers.

An important conference was held at the White House today looking "tothe adoption of measures that may prevent the ravages of the cotton boll weevil, which now menace the cotton growing industry of the South.

The fear is expressed by cotton planters that unless radical measures are adopted for the extermination of the pest the loss of cotton-growing states will aggregate tens of millions of dollars. The matter was brought to the attention of the President by a delegation of senators and representatives from every cotton-growing state of the South. The members of the delegation united in a recommendation that the President present the subject to Congress with a suggestion that an appro- priatiou lie made to pay the expenses of a commission appointed to work out a plan for the extermination of the boll weevil.

White Closed for the Defense, Bringing Tears to the Eyes of Many by the Eloquence of His Plea. TO THE JURY THIS EVENING. The last argument for the defense in the case of William Wise, charged with the murder of Elias M. Lathem, was concluded before the jury this morning at 11:13 o'clock by Captain Frank S. While, who began his argument yesterday afternoon.

The probability now is that the case will go to the Jury late this afternoon. When the solicitor finishes Judge Dan A. Greene will deliver bis charge and tli Jurymen will retire to agree upon a verdict. The speech of Captain White this mot ning is considered as one of the ablest efforts for a defendant ever delivered in the court house of Jefferson county. Talk Brought Tears.

In sympathetic tones he told of home, of its eaeredness, saying that an intruder had appeared in ttie home of the sister of Wise, and that the defendant haa sought to protect his sister, Mrs. Joe Hubei, from publicity that would be attached to her indiscreet conduct, and at the same time compel Elias Lathem to deliver letteis that would injure her ar.d to swear to let her alone. He asked the jury to look backward, and see their homes in childhood, with their sisters gatheied around the fireside; and to think of what each one of them would have done under like circumstances. The poem "Glancing Backward was pelted. There were tears In many eyes, perceptibly affected as he spoke.

He paid a beautiful tribute to the virtue of woman, saying that it should and would be protected by men. Not Protected by Law. In closing ho said that Wise was as helpless as a man could be as helpless as a babe, and at him the prosecution had hurled its insults. He said Lathem had hounded the defendant's sister. Mrs.

Wise, mother of the defendant and two sisters of Wise, shed tears ns Captain While concluded his argument. Wise listened attentively as the closing words in his behalf were being uttered before the jury. As soon as Captain White closed Judge Dan A.

Greene announced the adjournment of court until 1 oclock, when Solicitor H. P. Heflin will make the closing argument for the state. Closing Argument. Solicitor H.

P. Heflin is now making the closing argument. He began his argument at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The solicitor began by saying his position was unlike that of other lavv-yeis in the ease, it is more like the jurors. lie bid not make anything whether the jury convicted or acquitted.

It is tiro duly of the solicitor to try to convict the guilty, but just as much to acquit the innocent. Many times, he said, lie had gotten up and tohl juries to acquit defendants, and the statement of Caplain White that it was the duty of the solicitor to convict people was unfair. He spoke of references by former speakers to paid counsel and said that the lawyers for the defense did not offer their services free to ileiond Wise. It was just as right' to say attorneys for the defense were trying to turn loose a guilty man as that attorneys had been paid to try to convict him.

STREET COMMISSIONER SUBMITS REPORT The report of Street Commissioner MeCartin for the month of October, 1903, shows that a total of 1,762,500 gallons of water were used for sprinkling purposes and that the sprinkling department cost the elty only $379.61. Five sprinklers were run regularly every day, tanking up at different points in the city. The expense of the garbage department for the month was $733.90. There were 2,733 loads of garbage hauled. It will he seen that the total expense of both departments which are under the supervision of the street commissioner was $1,115.51 less than $1,250, the amount allowed by the ordinance of the board of mayor and aldermen for a single month.

The above limit was fixed when the garbage and Bprinlding departments were taken from the contractors and placed under the supervision of the street commissioner.

Special to the Birmingham New. JACKSON, Nov. 21. Miss 153116 Kearney, the toted temperance worker, who for the past several years has held the office of vice-president of the National Womans Christian Temperance Union, has returned to Mississippi, after an extensive lecture tour of the country in the interest of the cause, and duririg the early part of December will attend the two conferences of the Methodist church in this state and deliver addresses urging the clergy and Jay delegates to renew the campaign for constitutional prohibition, and especially to wage the fight at the legislative session in January. She will outline the plan by which, In the opinion of the Womans Christian Temperance Union, the work can be accomplished, and this promises to he one of the most notable pieces of legislation brought before the January session, as it is understood that the liquor interests will make a strong fight in opposition to the movement.

Miss Kearney is now at Canton attending the session of the Mississippi branch of the Womans Christian Temperance Union of Mississippi, which was convened at that place this morning for a three days session. Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, of FayettP, is presiding. This body will adopt a memorial to the Legislature cm the subject of constitutional prohibition, and also send a committee of temperance workers to advocate the passage of the measure.

It is probable that Miss Kearney will be in Jackson during a greater portion of the session and personally conduct the fight. REPORT WILL BE BULLISH. Special to the Birmingham News. JACKSON, Nov. 21.

So far as Mississippi is concerned the gin-ners report, to be published by the census bureau on the 3d of December, covering cotton crop conditions up to the 15th of November, will be quite bullish in tone. In this state hundreds of gins were idle during the monthly period up to the 15th on account of the long protracted drouth, which resulted In a water famine in the country districts. Crop experts and close observers of cotton conditions declare that implicit confidence cannot be placed in the reports of ginners, owing to the fact that a large majority of them are also cotton farmers and It logically follows that they are on the bull side of the market. Some of the largest ginners candidly admit that they never send In a report that gives a roseate view of the situation, for thereby they would be working against their own interests. The natural tendency to take a pessimistic view of the crop outlook, coupled with the fact that the amount of staple ginned during the month has been smaller than usual, will, in the opinion of many, result in a decidedly bullish report from Mississippi.

Since the destruction of the Alabama and Vicksburg passenger depot at Brandon, a town made famous by being the birth place of a majority of Mississippi politicians who are now on the stage of public affalis, tho citizens of the town have launched a movement to have the new depot erected within the corporate limits.

Over forty years ago tho people of Brandon had a quarrel with the A. and V. officials which resulted In the depot being moved away from the town a distance of more than a mile, and at the foot of ono of the heaviest sand hills in the state, resulting in much inconven- ience to all classes of travel.
