Owenton Will Have Holiday

At faculty meeting of the North Ala
bama Conference college, at Owenton, Mon
day night it was decided to close for the
holidays Friday, December %, and open
again Tuesday morning, January 2.
This promising institution is in the midst
of it's second year. The enrolment for the
fall term has reached more than Us pupils,
and better and more manly class of boys
was never collected together Many of the
students are from the city and the suburb
an towns, but quite a large per cent. are
boarders from various parts of the state.
The closest attention Is given to boarders,
and efforts are made to encourage studious
habits as we'll as to require good order at
the boarding houses. In the afternoons
and evenings study hours are preserved by
all boarders, and teachers preside over the
halls, seeing that the boys remain in their
rooms. This method works like oiled ma
chnery, and there is never any rowdyism
at the boarding houses
Good reports of marked Improvement and
great progress for the fall term comes
from every department. The professors are
greatly encouraged at the rapid way in
which the boys are learning. The founda-
tion is laid for the best work next term.
The literary societies are doing much
good. At a recent meeting it was decided
to have bi-monthly nter-soeety debates
at the College chapel. The first one will
occur about the first Friday night in Feb
ruary. This debate will be a rare treat,
and all Birmingham will be invited.
The anniversary of the societies will oc-
cur early in March, and a fitting pro-
gramme will be prepared.
The North Alabama Conference college,
though not two years old, is doing a great
work, and not only Birmingham, but all
north Alabama has just reason to be proud
of 1t.

BASKET BALL TEAMS
OF the Birmingham Athletic Club to be
Picked Tonight
Office of Station Agent

There will be an important meeting at the
Athletic club rooms tonight of all members
of the club interested in basket ball, for the
purpose of deciding just what players will
make up the three teams that are to play
the series of local games this winter. Ever
since the Society Circus the basket ball en-
thusiasts of the club have been hard at
work in the gymnasium in shape for the
exciting games that are expected to be
played next month.
AS stated above, there will be, as former
ly, three teams, and the teams committee
will have some very delicate adjusting to do
to get all of the teams equally matched
There are several of last seasons very pop
ular players that will be missed this winter
among them being Dan McDonough, Fred
Underwood and Francis Morris. There is
plenty of new material to fill all vacancies
however, and this season bids fair to be the
most brilliant in the history of the club.
Among the old players that will again be
seen in the scraps are Joe Biddle, Ed War
ron, Bill Huey, Leslie Stolenwerck, w. H.
Ferguson, John Doneson, Eddie Chairsell,
Eddie Crawford, Henry Dean, Joe Norman,
Sydney Bradford and others.
1t is very probable that the first match
game of the season will be played Thurs
day evening, January 4, and a match game
every Thursday evening after that.

In the Jones Case-Jury Out Almost
Twenty-four Hours

In the case of c. A. Jones VS.. Postal Tel
egraph-Cable company, in the circuit court
yesterday morning, the jury was discharg-
ed having been out and unable to reach a
verdict, since Tuesday afternoon. This
case grew out of two mules attached to a
wagon becoming entangled in an electric
wire, which it is alleged, was on the ground,
and OVERTURNED the wagon. Three men, the
plaintiff being one, were in the wagon, and
when it was overturned they were imoris-
oned under the body of the wagon, it be-
ing impossible for them to get out, because
of the electricity from the wire which went
through the iron work of the vehicle.

Greene'S Decision.
HEWLETT CASE DISMISSED
The Court Dismisses the Application
for Mandamus-This Ruling Will
Cause Discontinuance of
Horse Racing in State
HEWLETT CASE DISMISSED

Montgomery, December 20.-(Special)-
The supreme court today declared the law
prohibiting pool selling constitutional by
rendering a decision in the case of l. II.
Benners, ex rel, ETC., VS.. The State of Ala
bama appealed from jefferson county Grim
inal court.
The court affirmed the judgment of the
lower court. In the. case of Thomas C.
Hewlett ct al, appeal from the Birmingham
Police court, the court dismissed the APP
peal and application for rule nisi looking
to mandamus.
In the Benners case the court holds that
the statutory provisions under which the
criminal charges were preferred is valid
and must be enforced, and further that the
application for mandamus was properly
made by the solicitor, and that thereupon
1t became the duty of the justice to issue
his warrant of arrest.
In the Hewlett case the court holds the
appeals do not lie from the police court
to the supreme court.
The application for rule nisi looking to
mandamus is also dismissed, because the
circuit and other courts of Jefferson coun-
ty have supervisory jurisdiction over in
feror courts, such as the police courts of
Birmingham, and the statute implicitly
prohibits the supreme court from exercis-
ing original jurisdiction in respect of writs
of mandamus where any other court has
such jurisdiction.
Justice Sharpe rendered the opinions in
both cases.
