Tuscaloosa, Dec. 7.-(Special.)-The final
result of the now famous hazing chapter in
the university here comes to light In the re-
port of the military board of inquiry which
has been submitted within the past few
days.
The report shows that five sons of the
most prominent families of Alabama were
dismissed outright and four suspended for
some weeks, and nine placed under arrest
for participation in the affair.
Those dismissed are understood to be:

the surface by Mayor Jemison, who took
the part of his son and had a rather sensa-
tional alteration with former Cadet Lacy
in the dead hours of the night

alton on Street Paving.

Montgomery, December 7.-(Special. JEFF
ferson county will have a hot fight in the
house tomorrow over the bill to create the
office of auditor for the county.
The Burkhalter bill is meeting with much
opposition, for the reason. it is claimed,
that the bill gives too much authority to
the office.
Sections 8 and give the auditor all the
power now exercised by the court of county
commissioners. Section gives the auditor
general authority over everything connect
ed with the fiscal affairs of the county.
Section gives him the authority now exer-
cised by the county treasurer and commits
sioners in that he shall keep all the deeds
and contracts of the county and the proper
credits of the treasurer.
Section also gives to the auditor the
duties and powers now imposed upon and
exercised by the tax assessor; also all the
discretionary powers exercised by the court
of county commissioners, and all work done
by the probate judge for and IN behalf Of
the county as well as all other clerical
work done by or under the direction of any
county officer, the compensation for which
is paid by the county.
Gibson's Substitute
Mr.. Gibson has substitute for the Burk-
halter bill, providing that the governor
shall cause twice each year the state exam
iner to inspect the books of all the officials
of Jefferson county, and that the county
shall pay for such examinations at the rate
of s. per day, with an additional $3.50 for ex-
penses, as is now provided for the state ex-
aminers. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Gibson that
this bill reaches all the demands for an au-
ditor of the county without interfering with
the rights or duties of any other Office or
officers.
The vote in the house by Jefferson's del
egation will probably be three for and
three against the Burkhalter bill. The in
dications are that the bill will pass Should
1t pass the house, it will become a law, as
Senator Cunningham favors it.

BAILEY VERSUS
GEN. WHEELER
MAJORITY Lsader Wasins a Bitter War
Against the Alabamian.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
HaS Decided That Wheeler Can Retain
His Seat.
The TEXAN CANNOT BE SUSTAINED
Even by His Own Side of the House in
His Silly Fight Against the
True Hero of San
tiago.
BY ARCHIBALD w. BUTT

Washington, Dec. 1.-The point made by
Gen. Joe Wheeler that the law would not
prohibit him from serving in congress anu
holding a commission in the army at the
same time has been sustained by the attor-
ney general. Gen. Wheeler asked the de-
partment of justice for its opinion on the
matter and the attorney general gave 1t as
his opinion that the Alabamian would not
be violating the law should he return to
his seat in the house of representatives.
Mr.. Bailey, the leader of the minority,
however, claims that Gen. Wheeler has. al
ready forfeited his seat and that whether
he resigns his commission or not he can
not assume his duties In the halls of con-
gress or legally represent his district. He
has served notice on Gen. Wheeler that he
would contest his right to vote IL he re-
turned to congress.
To-day when he learned that Gen. Wheel.
er contemplated giving up his commission
in order to return to his seat, Mr.. Bailey
urged him not to do so, but advised his re-
turning to Huntsville.
3ailey's Position
When I saw Mr.. Bailey to-day he said
in regard to the matter: 'It is my firm be-
lief that General Wheeler has already for
feited his seat; that he has no right to re-
turn to congress even should he resign his
commission. Were he my own brother, 1
would fight against his exercising the pre-
rogative of congressman"
General Wheeler says he has not fully
determined what course to pursue. He will
review the decision of The attorney-general,
and If he thinks it will not stand then he
will resign his commission. According to
Mr.. Bailey, however, this sacrifice would
not avail him anything, for by accepting an
appointment in the army he has forfeited
his right to seat in congress.
Prominent members of the house say that
Mr.. Bailey would not be sustained even by
his own side in a contest with General
Wheeler, that the house and not Mr.. Bailey
is judge of Its own membership and as tb
who are entitled to seats upon, the floor.
There is no doubt that a clash will come
between the two and when 1t does it Will
be the humiliation of Bailey. Considerable
adverse criticism is expressed as to Mr..
Bailey's fight on General Wheeler. His
own friends say that an objection to GEN
eral Wheeler keeping his seat comes with
bad grace from a democrat and especially
from a southern man.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
For Tho Enterprise !

The Register says that from
what 1t can learn it presumes
that the Governor in his message
will stand for the dispensary
scheme In its integrity, and shorn
OF the profit feature.' Whv
should the dispensary be shorn
OF the profit feature! What bene.
fit Will that be? II will make
whlskey cheaper, but viii that be
any benefit either to the morals
or the health of the people? What
the Governor should recommend
and what the Legislature should
carry out is some way to get
round Simonton's dicision If
there is any way to get round it:
and If there isn't, that the dispen
sary should remain as if is, only
enforced with more vigor. The
dispensary is alright; what is
wrong Is our officials need liberal
hyperdermlc injections of some
kind of strengthening tonic in
the region of the spinal column.
In other words they lack back
bone In spite of what many of
the newspapers say, the great
majority of the people believe in
the dispensary and will uphold
it's strictest enforcement.

should like to see Mr.. J. O. A.
Moore, of Darlington, elected to
fill the vacancy in the Board of
Control caused by the resignation
of Col. Willie Jones. Mr.. Moore
has shown considerable ability
in telling how the. dispensary
ought to be managed; and while
he might not display the same
ability in putting his views into
practice that he has shown in
putting them on paper, l believe
it would be we'll to give him a
trial.
