GIVES HIM CARTE BLANCHE Practical Effect of This Opinion of Attorney-General FURNISHED HON. H. D. LANEs The Commissioner Is Vested With Authority
 10 Do the Best He Can at
 Atlanta

Montgomery. June 4-(Special)- )-At- .torney-General William c. Fitts today rendered the following interesting opin- ion, which is self-explaining:
 Hon. Hector D. Lane, Commissioner of Agriculture. Montgomery, Ala.-Dear Sir: Your favor of the Sd has been duly received.
 You desire my construction of subdi- vision 13 of section 137 of the code of Ala bama and in my opinion upon the right and propriety of the commissioner mak- ing exhibits at international and state expositions." In my opinion you are un der said section as commissioner. etc. in- vested with authority to make such ex hibits at international and state exposi- tions as will, in your sound discretion, and with the limited means at hand, best rebound to the public good and tend to bring the nnrivaled natural adVan- tages of this state as to climate, soil, healthfulness. etc., to the attention of the inhabitants of other states, sections and countries. Yours very truly,

WITH THE RAILROADS.

The victory of the Seaboard Air Line in the recent boycott fight, it seems, also means that Maj. D. B. Stahlman may step down and out of the Southern Rail- way and Steamship association.
 In this connection the following dis patch from Atlanta is interesting
 There is considerable more in the Sea- board Air Line case than appears on the isurface The withdrawal of the case be- fore Judge Speer, and the Seaboard's agreement to maintain rates in consid- eration of calling off the boycott by the Southern Railway and Steamship asso- citation are given out as the terms of the agreement of the compromise, but it is the general belief that there is another feature, and that is the withdrawal of Major Stahlman from the commissioner ship of the association. Those best posted are strongly of the opinion that the Seadoard people have assurances that after July there will be a new com missioner. Their fight with the associa- tion has been due to the constant clash with Major Stahlman, and it is argued that they would never have been brought to terms except for some such assurances. The friends of Ma jor Stahlman say that some time ago he announced his de- termination to decline reelection. It is said that the major, believing in the chances of republican success in Ten neSsee, has an eye on the senatorial chair now held by 1sham G. Harris. Both sides were afraid to let the case testing the boycott on the Seaboard come to trial before Judge Speer. The assocla- ton would, it is believed, be doomed, and the Seaboard Air Line people saw that while such a decison would be in their favor the direct result would be the prac- tical boycott of their road by every other railroad in the country. for the railroads are firm in their belief that they could not exist without the associations. and they would resent most bitterly the test being made.

LOUD SHOOTS FlTZPATRlCK
THE TRADITIONAL WOMAN IN THE CASE
Was Gaety GirI-Fitzpatrick Was InsaneIy JeaIous and Plea of Self-De-
 fense May Stand

Savannah, Ga, June 4.-Phip Fitz- patrick proprietor of the Gaiety theater and saloon, was shot and killed tonight at o'clock by Charles D. Loud an att torney of Mount Vernon, Ga. Miss Hel- enc Stockton enjoys the distinction of being the cause celebre of the tragedy Fitzpatrick was well known throughout this section as the keeper of the only gaiety saloon in the city. Nightly per- formances were given, consisting chiefly of songs and dances. Miss Stockton was for a long time in the employ of Ftz- patrick and he was understood to be very much enamored of her.
 She was very handsome young lady and a great favorite of the play. About six weeks ago she left Fitzpatricks and went to the Warsaw hotel at Thunder bolt, kept by MT. and Mrs. T. c. Butler, both former employees of Fitzpatrick. This afternoon Fitzpatrick, accompa- nied by some friends, went out to Thur derbolt, where he drank heavily. He de- clared that he would marry Miss Stock ton, willing or unwilling. He first sent a friend to prevail upon her, but as she refused to consider the proposition he determined to see her himself. Butler, the proprietor of the place, endeavored to keep him out, declaring that Miss Stockton had left the house. He found
 
 still refused to let him see her. and the two engaged in hand-t hand fight, in which Butler got the worst of it. The two were arrested by the marshal and were taken to the lock-up, where they gave bond. Fitzpatrick promised not to go back to the house.
 About o'clock Colonel Loud, who had an engagement to go horseback riding with Miss Stockton arrived. Fitzpat- rick heard that his rival was in the house and became frantic. He forced his way in and learning that Loud and Miss Stockton had gone to the latter's upstairs to the room and kicked and stick in his hand and rushed at Miss Stockton with the stick upraised. He turned from her, however, toward Colonel Loud, who was standing in the window of the small room pistol in hand As Fitzpatrick advanced Loud fired shot over his head to warn him. Fitzpatrick still advanced and Loud fired a second shot, striking him in the body Fitzpatrick continued to advance, when Loud fired the third shot, striking Fitz- patrick in the mouth and passing up- ward through the brain Fitzpatrick fell and died in a few moments Colonel brought him to the city and turned him over to the police The woman was also arrested, but was released on bond
 Colonel Loud is well known here. He is at the head of the syndicate that tried to sell 10000 acres of land in Wilcox and adjoining counties to Governor Northens old soldier colony. The sale dropped through, however, because of doubt cast upon the title of the land.

CAMP HARDEE.
AWELL ATTENDED MEETING YESTERDAY
General Ferguson Reports on the Reunion. Professor Grambs Is Arraigned and
 MedaIed-0ther Business.

Camp Hardee held a well attended regular monthly meeting yesterday aft ernoon in Erswells hall Gen. R. D. Johnston presided and Secretary Me Miller was at his desk.
 General Ferguson, commander for the state, made a general report of the re- union at Houston, Tex, during which he stated that many remarks were made to the effect that Birmingham handled the people much better than did Houston.
 The committee on the picnic reported that it was a success and that quite a nice little sum had been realized.
 It was then reported that Erswell' s hall had been rented for the holding of meetings of the camp. The following resolutions were passed:
 Resolved, That the thanks of Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans, are due and are hereby rendered to the members of George A. Custer Post, Grand Army of the Republic, for the generous kindness in uniting with us in friendly rivalry last Saturday for the benefit of the poor and distressed com rades, and that Camp Hardee ever stands ready and willing to meet the George A. Custer post on terms of cor dial friendship and soldierly devotion to our common country.
 A vote of!thanks was also taken for all who took part in the exercises in any way.
 It was moved that the commander ap- point a committee to take charge of the Fourth of July celebration.
 A committee was then appointed and sent out to bring in Prof. Fred l.. raigned before pr. o. T. Dozier, who said: Professor Grambs, you have been captured by our troops sent out As Pennsylvanian you have been pry-

AN. ATTRACTIVE CARD
Encouraged Several Thousands to Brave the Heat at Gravesend- Sir Walter
 Beaten by Stephen j.

Gravesend, New York, June 4-The weather was not very encouraging for raee-goers today, the sky being overcast and threatening. There were several thousand persons, however, who saw good things on the card. and their cu- pidity overcame their fears of rain and cold and they came to the track. The card was extremely attractive, the Sea- side stakes for 2-year-olds and the Brooklyn handicap being among the events down for decision. The track was in fine condition and speculation was brisk throughout the afternoon. The Seaside stakes resulted in a compara- lively easy victory for the odds-on fa- vorite Requital. To bad start Brisk, who is a quick beginner, showed the way around the first turn and then relin- quished the place of honor to Castleton, who piloted the field to the home stretch.
 As soon as they were headed for home Requtal, who lay in a good position closed up on Castleton, then came away and won easily by an open length. Pre- mier came strong under the lash and beat Brisk two lengths for the place.
 The big event of the day YVES the Brookdale handicap, at mile and a furlong. When the flag fell Sir Walter under a chilling pull, set slow pace clear around to the home stretch where the others moved up to him. The quar- tette swung into the home stretch necks apart and at the furlong post stephen J. challenged Sir Walter. A hard strug- gle ensued. but the former outstayed the latter and won hard earned victory by half a length. Sir Walter beat Laz- zarone three lengths for the place.
 First race, for all ages, heavy handi- cap. six furlongs-GothaTn. 116 Uamley). to o, won; Our Jack second, Aurelian third. Time, 1:151s.
 Second race, five furlongs-Ardath, 10S (Griffin), to 1, won; Tenderness second, Religion third. Time, 1:02A
 Third race, the Seaside stakes for g. year-olds, five furlongs-Requital, a05 (Griffim. 1 to 2. won; Premier second, Brisk third. Time, 1:02&
 Fourth race, the Brookdale handicap, a mile and one furlong-Stephen J., 1021s Penn), 10 to 1, won; Sir Walter second, Lazzarone third. Time, 1:57.
 Fifth race, selling, a mile and one-six- teenth--Mirage, 104 Penn), to l, won; Langdon second, Sir Dixon, Jr., third. Time, 1:5115.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York June 4.-The Suns cotton review says: Cotton rose 8 to 10 points, but reacted and closed steady at an ad- vance of to 6 points, with sales of 219 200 bales. Liverpool declined 1732d on the spot, with sales of S00e balesT futures declined 21a points, but rallied later on and closed very steady at net loss of only 1 point. New Orleans ad' vaneed 10 points, but lost part of this Southern spot markets were generally quiet and unchanged. Charleston de- cined Bc Port shipments, 1875 bales to Great Britain and II ,039 to the continent. Spot cotton here was unchanged, with no sales. Port shipments 1875 bales, against 1924 this day last week and 4195 last year; thus far this week, 6668 bales against 5747 thus far last week. In Man yarns, very little doing. Today's fea- lures:
 It is true that Liverpool was quiet and lower; it is true that dispatches from Texas stated that the weather was gen orally clear and warm this morning, and yet 1t is just as true that cotton ad- vanced today Say what you might against the staple people wanted to buy it, and they did buy it, so freely that prices advanced. New Orleans stands by it's bullish colors It was buying here today. The continent also bought Some think that the bureau report on June 10 will be bullish. Heavy rains fell in the southwest, where dry weather is needed. Cooler weather is expected in many parts of the south. On the rise today there was quite little local realizing cotton market is believed to have a good, sound bullish foundations; it's ma sorry is believed to rest on solid rock and not in shifting sand.

Grambs' Band Preparinga Splendid Programme.
 To Be Uniformed

Grarnbs Band Preparing Splendid Programme
 To Be Uniformed,
 Grambs' Military band is practicing for the grand open air concerts to be given in Capital park. A splendid pro- gramme has been prepared and some interesting music will be played,
 Yesterday afternoon an Age-Herald reporter had an interview with Profess sor Grambs, who stated that at the last meeting Mir Haley of Memphis took the measure of each member of the band for uniforms, which will be ready in short time.
 He also stated that it was his inten- ton to make the organization a per manent one. He said that it was the purpose of the members of the organi- zation to get the public to bear half of the expenses and that the members of the band could stand the other half.
 He said that while the members were generous enough to give the public free music that they thought it was not ask ing too much for the public to aid them, and that they hoped for a ready re- sponse.~ He also stated that it was in- tended to incorporate the organization, and that MT Jack w. Johnson had been spoken of for president.
 All of the contributions may be sent to MT. NJ D. Freidman, who is manager for the organization.
