People overlooked the Importance OF
permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs will permanently
cure habitual constipation, well-in-
formed people will not buy other lax

ly injure the system.

HE WILL DIE.
V. Leckas, a Greek, Was Badly Beaten and His Recovery Is Considered Inn
 possble-Three Suspects Arrested.

At an Early hour yesterday morning V. Leclxas, a Greek fruit dealer and res- taurant proprietor on First avenue and Twenty-second street. was assaulted by unknown parties. It is thought that the assault was made about 1 o'clock, but nothing was known concerning 1t until an hour later when Officer Brown found the unconscious man on the side walk.
 Indications point to a scuffle, as marks were discovered at the place. The money drawer was rifled of nearly $40 in cash. With the exception of one $10 bill, all the money was in silver coin.
 Officer Brown, as soon as he discovered Leckas, called pr. Heflin, who made a nasty examination of the wound. It was seen that the mans skull was frac- tured and that recovery was doubtful. The Warner-Smiley company's ambu- lance was called and the injured man removed to Hillman hospital. At late hour last night Leckas was still uncon- scious and barely alive. A State Her. aid representative was informed that death was only a matter of short time.
 Capt. Weir was soon at the place of the crime and. with Officers Brown, El- lard, Bodeker and Thompson instituted a rigid investigation, which resulted in the arrest of Anderson Hale, Ike Bates and Charley Diamond three negro men. Although they all deny any knowledge of the crime the evidence against one is very strong He was caught in hiding under the house and there is other dam- aging facts in the possession of Capt. Weir
 The appearance of the surroundings testify to the fact that Leckas defended himself with large butcher knife. He is 52 years old. His son was asleep in the place at the time. but was not awak- ened by the disturbance.

GONE TO CHICAGO.
Jesse Sogers, Wanted for Murder, Was Taken Back to the Windy City
 by a Negro Detective.

Yesterday morning a negro walked into police headquarters and introduced him. self as Ardis Anderson. detective, of Chi cago. He presented the necessary proofs and stated that he came here after Jesse Sogers. who is wanted in the Windy City for murder.
 The story of the crime was given as follows: George Spirokostas, a Greek fruit dealer on Fifteenth street and Wa bash avenue was murdered Oct. 15, last, by three negro men and robbed of $5 and other small change. The deed was done with a piece of gas pipe and the Greeks skull was fractured so badly that death resulted in a short time It afterwards transpired that the robbers missed nearly $50 that was in another pocket.
 Jule Townsend was arrested by a pa- trolman shortly after the assault and Scotty Price was captured by a detective few days later. Sogers, as published in the State Herald at the time, was ar rested by Officers Patton and Culpepper some days ago.
 A Greek identified Townsend as the wielder of the gas pipe but he claims that Price did the deed and the other two helped do the robbing. Sogers de- nies all connection with the affair and says that circumstances are against him. He claims to have been a block away in front of a drug store near two detec- tives when the crime was committed. In the excitement he has been accused of the murder
 Townsend and Price are in jail in Chi cago awaiting trial and Sogers left this city last night with the negro detective for that place. He did not demand the procuring of the requisition papers, but left willingly. All three of the negroes belong in Birmingham

THE PLAN SUBMITTED
To the Ssnate Subcommittee To Re- organize the Senate Committees Accepted and Will Be So Re-
 ported to the Republ-
 can Caucus.

Washington, April e16-The republican subcommittee of the committees of the senate agreed unanimously today to ac- cept, so far as 1t is empowered to do so, the proposition made by the d=moerats for the reorganization of the senate conn mittees. It was also decided to report this conclusion to the republican sena- torial caucus. Accordingly a caucus will be held at 10 o'clock on Monday morn ing.
 Th@ proposition which the committee has agreed to accept is the one outlined in these dispatches last night. 1t providss that the republicans shall fill all the committee places which were fill-d by re- publican senators during the last con gress, including the chairmanships va cated by republicans and that they shall be given one additional place on the ap- propriations committee vacated by dem- ocrat, and that the membership of the committee on postofficeS and post roads shall be increased from nine to ten in order to give the democrats an additional place on that committee. This arrange ment will result in leaving the republi- can senators at the head of all import ant senatst committees, but a majority of the membership of many of them will be anti-republican.
 There are indications that the com mittee's =commendation will not be re- ceived with favor by all the republican senators. Some of them think it would have been possible for the republicans to secure the cooperation of enough popu- lists to organize all the committees se- curing majority of the membership as well as the chairmanships, and this pos sibilty will undoubtedly be pressed upon the attention of the caucus and the adop- tion of the plan in preference to that re- commended by the committee. The com mittee however, take tha position that the plan outlined is preferable on the eve of the presentation of the tariff bill to the senate as a contest over the re- organization of committees would be un- fnrtllnatp
