GOV. SANFORD REBUKES
 BUTLER COUNTY OFFICIALS
Issues Pardon For Eighteen of the Men Imprisoned For Riding Trains and Says There Is Grave IrreguIarity in the
 Manner of their Arrest and Conviction.

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, March 1s-tSpeciaL)-Gover- nor Sanford today stamped his official disapproval upon the methods of the Butler County officials in the wholesale sentencing of persons charged with va grancy and train riding.
 Eighteen of the persons recently sen- fenced were given their release by stroke of the executive pen. The Governor stated his reasons in a very brief en- dorsement upon the application for the pardon, as follows:
 "Because these defendants have al- ready been considerably punished for the offense named, and because there is grave irreeularlty in regard to their arrest and conviction, and because after a careful personal investigation the physician convict inspector recom- mends their pardon, as being physi- calIy unable to do mine labor, let a pardon issue to each person named in this application"
 The application for the pardon was pre- pared by MT. Benjamin Bosworth Smith of Montgomery, who became interested ill the case of the unfortunates. When seeing about two dozen of them being carried to the mines in a single car, Mir. Smith at once started an investigation of

DEMOCRATS FOND TRIBUTE
 TO MEMORY OF MR. PETTUS
Executive Committee Passes Resolution on Death 1.-the Beloved Statesman-The Party in Alabama Has Lost One
 of Its Greatest and WiSeS CounSeIors.

Montgomery. March 1S-(Special)- )-The Democratic State Executive Committee had very impressive meeting tonight in memory of the lamented Francis L. Pet tus, who was a member of the committee for many years from the State at large. The committee was first called together in the Council chamber at noon Mes- sages from several members stating that they could not reach the city until to- night were read and a recess until S:30 was taken.
 Before the recess G. L. Conner of Bar bour gave notice that he would contest the nomination of J. J. Winn of that county as delegate. The grounds of contest are that the Clayton box was kept open until o'clock, when the com mittee resolution ordered that the vote close at 2:30 o'clock
 The committee will hold another session at 10 o'clock tomorrow to consider the contest and other matters which may properly come before them
 It was few minutes past o'clock WIcH (HdlTIldn Lowe called the commit tee to order. MT. Bowie offered a resolu- ton calling for the appointment of a committee of seven to draft resolutions on the death of their late fellow member. Francis L. Pettus Mir. Bowie, in moving the adoption of the resolution, spoke beautifully of the life and character of the dead statesman
 Chairman Lowe, in placing the motion before the committee, said that there was not one present who knew of the rea- tions betwten himself and the deceased who could expect the speaker to say any thing upon the resolution, but with a 'tremulous voice he paid his tribute of love to the friend that had been to him so dear The motion was adopted and the chair appointed on the committee Messrs. Bowie, Lomax John V. Smith, C. B. Smith, Mitchell and O'Neal. The commit tee recessed for ten minutes, when the

DECISION IN THE
 GILMAN CONTEST
Judge Hobbs Denies AppIica- ton of PercivaI and Nor-
 ton for Administrators

Bridgeport, Conn.,, March IS. = After a long hearing in the Circuit Court Judge Hobbs tonight denied the application of k. s. Percival and E. l.. Norton for ap- pointment administrators of the estate of the late Millionaire George F. Gilman The application was supported by some of the heirs only, and further hearing on the question will be held tomorrow.
 Mrs. Helen Hall made no appearance today either in person or by counsel, and her alleged claims on the estate formed no part of the proceedings. After the hearing tonight an extended conference took place between the various counsel but apparently with no result, and the day closed with suggestions of an appeal by one party or the other, whatever the final decision of the court.
 With the non-appearance of Mrs. Hall in court the question was open as to what her claims might be.
 Her failure to appear was considered prma facie evidence that she would take no part in the contest over the adminis- tration of he estate, and the concurrent opinion onight Is that her share in the property of the millionaire tea merchant must depend upon some deed executed before his death. In this event 1t will not be until the actual administration of he estate begins that the mystery will be solved.
