SHERIFF KENNEDY'S TRIAL
Set for May for Killing Percy Wood at

Montgomery, April A.-(Special)-T
trial of Sheriff Kennedy for the killing of
Mr.. Percy Wood of Selma at the depot
here last Tuesday has been set for May

ing made comfortable in the county jail
The defendant Is exceedingly popular in

The Alabama Medical association,

s. Hill of Montgomery, orator, and DR.. G..
c. Chapman of Montgomery alternate.
DR.. J. r. Jordan of Montgomery was re-
elected secretary. A number of interest
ing treatises on medical and surgical SUBJ
jects were delivered, and all of the physi-
clans agreed that the year had been one
of exceptional advancement in the heal
ing art. The annual address of the retir-
ing president, DR.. j. r. Johnston of Bir-
mingham, brother of Captain Johnston,
the nominee for governor, Is pronounced
by the physicians who heard 1t to have
been the most learned ever delivered be-

HERBERT TAKES A HAND.
The Fight Between Messrs. Hall and Money
May Help to Settle Difficult Naval
Controversy.

Washington, April 24.-As result of
the affray yesterday between Congress
man Hall and Congressman Money, Sec
retary Herbert will take some action
with regard to the bitter feud between
the line and the staff of the navy, which
was the primary cause Of the conflict in
the naval affairs committee room. The
bitterness of the two factions has been
increasing until it Is now at fever heat,
and the more conservative men who take
an interest in the matter believe that the
personnel of the service is being injured
and that vigorous action Is necessary on
the part of the secretary to bring about
better relations between naval officers.
The bill before congress giving ac-
tual rank to the members of the engineer
corps forms the basis of the present ten
sity of feeling. Lobbying has been free
ly indulged in for and against the meas
ure and social and political influence has
been brought to bear on every member of
congress The line officers are deter
mined that the staff shall not secure ac-
tual rank and have formed an associa-
tion for the purpose of fighting measures
proposing such an arrangement. Com
modores Pythian and Matthews, who
were in the naval committee room when
Mr.. Hall and Mr. Money had their battle
of ink stands and sponge cups, are
prominent members of the line associa-
ton.
The cabinet discussed the matter at its
meeting today and action may be looked
for by the navy department. 1t, is not
unlikely that charges will be preferred
If the matter goes much further. Some
time ago the subject was given consider
alton with a view to stopping the grow
ing enmity between the two branches of
the service, but no definite action was
taken.
claims today fevorably reported to the
senate as an amendment to the sundry
civil bill an appropriation carrying a
little more than 100000 for the payment
of French spoilation claims that have
been adjudicated by the court of claims
and found to be due.

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
Denies the Allegation That 1t Is q Trust.
The Ca se Now IN Court.

Newark, N. j., April 24.-The American
Tobacco companys defense to the allie
cation that it was trust was opened
before Vice-Chancellor Reed this MORN
ing. r. V. Lindabu held that the COM
bination of companies was for mutual
business advantage and not in restraint
of trade under the New Jersey antitrust
law. Lindabury sought to introduce a
deposition from Leopold Miller of l.. Mill
Ter & Sons, 543 Broadway, New York.
II. II. McCarter. for the state, objected,
claiming the deposition as his property.
Having found 1t unfavorable, he refused
to put it in evidence. Lindabury held
that a deputation once taken In case
is the property of the court. The Vice
chancellor sustained this view and the
deposition was read. 1t stated that Mil
her had not bought the products of the
National company. because OF personal
feeIing against Mr.. Barron, one of its
proprietors. IT will take full day to
present the defense

Prominent traffic men and executive

and by the Central Passenger committee
from all of it's territory west of a line
drawn from Chicago to Cincinnati
through Logansport, Ind The Western
Passenger association has made from it's
territory rate of one and one-third rare
for the round trip. The various papers to
be read at the congress must necessarily
do much towards educating the south
and west to the fact that the natural and
proper path for vast amount of export
and import commerce now moving al
most entirely through North Atlantic
ports is through the southern and gulf
gateways; and once the tide of this COM
merce is turned in it's natural channel to
the southern ports it can never be wrest-
ed from them. The growth of the fruit
and grain trade through the South At
lantic and gulf ports during the past few
years has already become phenomenal
and the efforts of these meetings of the
grain and trade congress, having the
sympathy and cooperation of the rail-
road to augment the business to what is
claimed to be it's natural proportions,
and to create other export and other COM
merce, are certain to be crowned with a
success that will sa atisfy the expectations

Bradstreet's Report.

Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
The feeling is more hopeful at manv
trade centers, owing to continued i'm.
provement of demand in retail lines. bet
ter weather, favorable crop prospects and
the activity which naturally follows re-
newed building operations, distribution
of implements and farm supplies and att
tendant activity. More favorable reports
from commercial travellers are from those
representing Pittsburg, st. Louis. Kan.
sas City, Omaha and Milwaukee houses
Moderate Improvement is shown al few
other western centers, but at most OF the
large distributing points throughout the
country the movement of merchandise
on the whole shows no material change
While seeding is progressing rapidly In
the northwest country trade there is un-
favorable. Lack of rain in Florida Is the
cause of the scarcity of early vegetables
and at almost all cities mercantile coll
lections continue slow. In Industrial
lines the only marked change for the bet
ter Is in the manufacture of shoes, orders
for which have been placed In excess Of
preceding weeks. Transactions in wool
have increased moderately, but supplieS
continue heavy and prices, while nomi-
nally unchanged, are weak.
Prices of cotton goods are depressed
by overproduction, not even the higher
quotations for raw material having an
influence under these circumstances. The
demand for iron and steel of staple variA
eties remains almost at standstill, con-
sumers having stocked up prior to the
recent advance. Railroad and structural
material and. bar and plate are In rela-
lively best request, most other lines re-
naming fiat. Cuts in quotations for Bes-
semer pig and steel billets are the result
of transactions by middlemen. At the
south a number of furnaces have con-
tracted their output several months
ahead and fractionally advanced the
prica of certain grades of pig.
I The tendency of prices is the reverse of
that for several preceding weeks, with
large number of decreases. In addition
to those mentioned, wheat flour. wheat,
Indian corn, oats, sugar, leather. petro-
leum and lard are lower, while wool,
lumber, coal, pork and print cloths re-
main nomnally unchanged Cotton and
tin plates have advanced, the latter due
to a combination by makers.
There were $40 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States this
week, compared with 244 last week and
223 in the corresponding week one year

U. v.'s Having a Good Time.

Charleston, April 24-The last official
meeting of the South Carolina division
of the United Confederate Veterans for
the present reunion was held last night,
but thousands of old soldiers are still in
the city. They will be entertained as the
guests of the local camp until the end of
the week. The reunion will close with a
sermon delivered before the veterans
Sunday night at the First Presbyterian
church by the Rev. DR.. Gr!er, pres, dent
of Erskine college, who is himself vet
eran and who lost leg in the war. The
old soldiers were again entertained at
lunch and with an excursion around the
harbor by the city today. They were al
so the specially invited guests at the
Schutzenfest, which the Germans are
giving at their park.

Fighting for Lower Tolls.

Florence, April 24.-(Spec.al)-The fight
for lower tolls on the Florence bridge
is to be fought to finish. 1t was learned
here today that Governor Oates has au-
thorized the attorney-general to employ
special counsel to conduct the case, which
is now in the United States court, and
has urged the county officials to prosecute
the cases recently entered in the circuit
court against the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad for violation of the law re-
ducing the tolls on the bridge. The tolls
at present are 10 cents for foot passen-
gers, 20 cents for horsemen and 80 cents
for buggies. The new law, which the rail-
road company refuses to obey, reduces
the tolls one-half.
