MISS FETTER HIS ACCUsER
HAS HER LOVER ARRESTED ANI
THEN RELENTS.

Jessup Tandy, sergeant in the Tonnes
see regiment, was arrested last night on
a warrant from the Police Court charg-
ing him with petty larceny. He is accused
of stealing a gold ring from a woman
named Nellie Fetter.
Shortly after the Tennessee regiment
reached this city Miss Fetter, who is g.
prepossessing blonde, met the gay SER
geant and fell in love with him.
To show her appreciation for him she
gave him a plain gold ring, it being I'M
derstood that they were to be married in
the near future.
Learning that the Tennessee regiment
was to depart for Manila Friday Miss
Fetter hunted up Sergeant Tandy and
asked him if he intended to marry her.
He replied that he would make her his
wife as soon as he returned from Manila
Thinking he intended to desert her the
woman visited police headquarters and
swore out warrant for his arrest charg-
ing him with stealing her ring. He was
arrested at the Preside and locked up In
the City Prison.
A short time after he was imprisoned
Miss .Fetter visited the Office of the Chief
of Police and begged that her lover be
released.
in JAIL she tearfully remarked. If he
will only marry me l am willing TO Tor
give him."
On being told that the Police Depart
ment was powerless to release him, mas
much as he had been arrested on war
rant, Miss Fetter declared that she
would find one of the Police Judges and
induce him to release her lover After
searching about the city for some time
she finally found Judge Low, who, after
listening to her story, gave her an order
for the release of her soldier lover. Gong
to the City Prison, the woman presented
the order to Sergeant Brown.
Tandy was called from ,lis cell and, see
ing the woman who had caused his ar
rest, he asked what she meant by having
him thrown in prison.
81 want to know if you intend to marry
me-" she Indignantly RENE rked. "You
know you have deceived me-.
Tandy promised to make her his wife
as soon as he was liberated.
you will not go back on your word p
she inquired, as she grasped the extended
hand of her lover.
You viii marry me tonight or there
will be trouble
Tandy promised to do what was
right" and the couple left the prison.
Last night they were hunting for
County Clerk Curry, intending to get a
marriage license, but failed to find him.
The woman was determined to compel
the gay sergeant to make her his wife
and threatened to force him to accom-
pany her to the marriage license office
this morning so that they could be mar
ried before the troopship that is to carry
the Tennessee regiment to Manila sailed.
1t is Miss Fetter's intention to accompany
her prospective husband to Manila.

He Deserves Re-election.

All who are familiar with the career of
Judge James NJ. Seawell. both as lawyer
and jurist, are of one mind regarding his
candidacy. His reelection is deserved,
so they say, and If the voters see fit to
return him to a seat on the Superior
bench it will be just tribute to his fear
less and able administration of that
office.
Judge Seawell comes of sound. vigorous
stock. His father was a Virginian, who
graduated from West Point in 1925. He
served in the Florida Indian war of 1888
49, for which he was brevetted major by
Congress. He also served in the Mexican
war, and was nearly always on frontier
duty when not in the field He was colo
mel Of the Sixth Infantry during the
Civil War, and in 1862, at the age of 60
years, was retired for disability result
ing from exposure in the line of duty.
As his fathers career was one of dis
tinguished ability as soldier, so has
Judge Seawell's been one of ability both
as lawyer and jurist. For several years
prior to 1872 the Judge was the law part
ner of Hon. ]. Mem. .Shafter While en-
gagged at the bar Judge Seawell was in
terested in many important cases, among
which was the Black will case. He was
counsel for the successful contestant
The case attracted much attention.

the Smith Premier.

At the Heads Business College, and
before an audience of nearly 400 stu
dents, Mr.. William E. Little gave a
wonderfully fine exhibition of how
easy it is to operate the new No. 2
Smith Premier Typewriter without
looking at the keyboard. Mr.. Little's
record Of repetition sentences is $50

great speed the machine responded
readily. The running Of the machine
was almost noiseless.
Mr.. Little was loudly applauded and
offered few suggestions on how to
obtain speed by the new touch method.
The No. Smith Premier Typewriter
was used for the exhibition.

what see. Birmingham is much better
town than 1 had expected or hoped to see.
Birmingham is a splendid city, and is at
tracing favorable attention all over the

point In the United States that Pittsburg
had to fear.

trict today, and l am convinced that its
possibilities are almost unlimited. This is
my view, as it is the opinion of experts.
1.-THE great steel plant at Ensley, and the
big rod and wire mill that is being built in
connection with 1t will work wonders for
Birmingham. 1t is the beginning of a new
era-an era of marvellous prosperity.

Makes Certain Prison Reforms.
THEN OFF TO MONTGOMERY

The committee of the board of aldermen.
consisting of Mayor Evans, City Attorney
Lowe and Alderman Kerr, appointed to
draft new charter for the city of Bir-
mingham, held a meeting yesterday after
noon and compared notes. They found
that the work was progressing rapidly and
that they will be able to present the char
ter in full to the board at its next meeting.
AS soon as the board confirms it. or makes
such changes in ii as they see fit, it will be
sent on to Montgomery at once.
AS has been intimated several times be-
fore, the new charter will make several
radical changes in the charter under which
the city of Birmingham is now operating.
Amng the changes, will be law providing
for the election of a board of health.
1t amends the law in regard to the assess
ment of property for public improve
ment.
Another important provision is that it
carries the Birmingham amendment into
effect.
The committee is considering the advisa-
bility of taking away from the mayor all
legislative powers, and his membership in
the board, and giving him veto power
over all its actions. In this case the board
will be presided over by president elected
by the aldermen themselves. The commit
tee is still undecided on this point
Certain prison reforms will also be pro-
vided for.
The probability is that q clause will be
inserted in the charter that no more bonds
can be issued by the city unless two-thirds
of the citizens vote for their issue.
