Dorothy Darter Says Dock Reed As

Indianapolis, February 2.-Dorothy Darter identified the negro, Doc Reed' brought here from New Castle this aft ernoon as her assailant. Last Thursday afternoon on the streets of lrvfngton she was assaulted and beaten into insen- ability. She is now in a dangerous con dition. After seeing a crowd of several hundred around her home, the girl way cred and said she was uncertain. Later when the negro and officers had left, she stated that she positively identified the man, but feared to say so when he was there, fearing the crowd would hang him in their yard
 When the news scattered that Reed had been identified there was great excite ment throughout the city. A hasty con sultation between the Governor, adjutant general, sheriff and superintendent of po- lice was called and the companies of the National Guard here were placed under orders to be ready at moments mo- tice
 Fifty policemen are on guard on every street in the vicinity of the jail, and every one is stopped from approaching Groups of men appeared on every corner near the jail. which is across the street from the city police station.

MOB AFTER THE

Cotton Mill Mans Rude Treat ment of Woman Causes
 Trouble at Griffin

Griffin, Ga, February 27-On orders from Governor Candler, one company of militia was tonight put on duty around a home here, and another ordered to hold itself in readiness to put down any disorder which may arise tonight through the attempts of mob to lynch H. F. B. Booth superintendent of the Griffin Knitting Mills.
 Booth had some trouble last Monday with Mrs Lavinia Moone, one of the op- eratiyes, and was last night warned to leave the city. but this morning he ap- peared at the mill for duty He had pre- viously been arrested and placed under bond for assaulting Mrs. Moone.
 The affair created great excitement among the factory operatives of Griffin Booth asked Mrs. Moone, it is said to do certain work, which she declined to do without a ticket, such as she claimed was given all operatives. This led to a dispute, and while Booth was attempt ing to eject her from the building, she was painfully injured, and is now con fined to her bed.
 Late yesterday afternoon Booth was requested to go to Mrs. Moones house and apologize. When he reached the house a crowd gathered and Booth was denounced in strong language A fight ensued, in which Booth received severa blows. It was after this that he received the warning to leave Griffin.
 Booth was released yesterday on bond The talk of personal injury to him fl he did not leave town grew so strong this evening that the militia was called out. This had a quieting effect on the groups of men gathered near Booth S house, and at midnight it was believed the attempt to harm had been given up.

3-Police Court Stories.
 The Races.

dermen Cray Moore, Jones, Thach, Camp and Commissioner MeCartin.
 These Aldermen have passed all the bills recommended by their board end killed the bill recommended by county offices which would deprive the city of revenues derived from the inferior crmi- nal court. In other words they have sue ceeded in all their undertakings. But Mayor Drennen stands to lose his pet measure-the street sprinKing bill and the dust devil is liable to continue to hold full sway upon the streets of Birmlng- ham. Senator Morrow don't like the fea- lures of the street sprinkling bill, which will pile up debts or liens upon property and he is holding it up in the Senate and will defeat 1t. He thinks the city might provide for street sprinkling by other means and many property holders think he is right So the Mayor and Aldermen will have to find strictly local means to get a street sprinkler.
 By the way the law which provides for the Jefferson county trunk sewer says no man on the commission can be Tn any way interested in the purchase of the bonds, the selling of material to con- tractors who built it or in any other manner interested in deriving any profits from the work
 Therefore there may be some resgna- tions from the commission named by the Legislature. The sum to be expended by the county amounts to $500,000. Bonds are to be fioated to build 1t and it will take much material for the work. The Mayor and Aldermen of Birmingham here have had much communication with Birmingham this evening about the sale of the recently provided for improvement bonds. Several bidders are in the field and several raises of quarter of one per cent each have been made, but the Mayor has issued an ultimatum that the matter of awarding the issue shall be left open until his return and until the board considers it.

THE ASSOCIATION
 IS A DEAD ONE Promoters of American Base- ball Association Have Yielded
 Up the Ghost

New York, February H.-The National League magnates tonight summoned President Charles Power and W. H. Wat kins, of the American Association. The American Association men practically yielded up the ghost early in the after noon. Before night most of its members had left for home. Predictions were made by many men posted on such affairs that the American Association would not be- gin the season. Members of the associa- ton bitterly accused the magnates of failing to keep promises to give financial aid to their association and thus causing it's demise.
 President Young today announced that the League had granted all the players demands. The players have agreed to sign League contracts under pain of sus- pension The suspension. however, is only opera tive until the players organiza- tion can meet as body and act on the matter.
 Whether the players ratify Zimmer' s agreement or not, the concessions made by the League will hold good.

SENATE S|DETRACKS THE TEXT
 BOOK BILL BY VOTE OF B TO 8
The Measure for Which the Governor and the People Fought So Hard Meets Lingering Death on the Shelf of Committee
 Room-Severa Bills Passed

Montgomery February 2z-(SpeciaD- The text book bill was killed by the Senate this afternoon. The measure was not permitted to come to a vote on it's merits, but was sde-tracked by recom- initial to the judiciary committee. The vote to recommit was 23 to S. This &C., ton came a very great surprise to the friends of the measure, who claimed cough pledged votes to pass it through the Senate. The motion to recommit the bill to the judiciary committee was made by Senator Hipp, and President Jelks held that a three-fourths vote would be necessary to recommit the bill Under this ruling of the chair the friends of the measure felt absolutely sure of their position, as eleven senators had been caucassing in support of the measure only the night before. They were disap pointed, however, and sorke of their sup posed friends deserted them. The vote to recommit was as follows:
 Ayes-Acree, Arlington, Blackmon, Bostic, Dunn Goldsby, Hall, Hipp, Hor- ton, Hurst, Jenkins, Kennedy, Meade, Norman, Nunnele, Pulley, Rather, Ray, Rogers Stevens, Stone, Thompson, Wiley.
 Nays-Jelks Bullock, Harrison. John- son. Mccain, Morrow, Powell, Findham. It is acknowledged that the judiciary committee is opposed to the measure and will adverse the bill.
 The House.
 The morning session of the House was without special incident. Several general measures were considered.
 The bill for the relief of the presi- dential electors who attended a meeting in Montgomery in December prior to the time fixed by federal statute was de- feated by a vote of 4G to IS.
 MT Brooks secured the reconsideration of the vote by which on yesterday his bill for the relief of persons who paid licenses under the act of the General As- sembly of 1899 and declared unconstitu- tional, was lost. and the measure passed by a vote of 36 to 2S. The purpose of the bill is to relieve all parties who took out licenses during the years of 1899 and 1900 under the constitutional act from paving any additional license which may have been imposed by the return to the law of 1897.
 Senate bill 291, amending section 2630 of the Code which refers to usurious in- terest was passed after a short debate. The bill seeks to make effective the sec tion which the Supreme Court has de- clared to be ineffective.
 Brandon Accepts.
 The Governor sent a messagee to the Senate announcing that he had received the resignation of Hon. w. w. Brandon as member of the House, and announce
The age-herald., 1901-02-28

ing his acceptance of tho same. Mir Brand n was rec .ntly appointed adju- tant-general by the Governor. When the message had been read MT Bankhosd offered the following resolution, whicn was adopted under a suspension of the rules:
 Whereas, His excellency, the Govern or, acting upon the hearty indo-5snaent of the State National Guard, and splan- did public recommendations, has ap- pointed Adjutant-Gene of the State Militia, Hon. William w. Brandon, late a representative upon this GOT from the county of Tuscaloosa, whose resignation of the House has been accepted: there fore, be it
 Resolved That the House of Represen- tatives hereby express regret at losing from it's membership the able and pop ular representative from Tuscaloosa but tenders him it's best wishes for a success full administration of his public trust
 MT Knight called up the unfinished business which was the further consid- eration of the bill to reduce the tax on fertilizer tags from 50 to 30 cents. The measure caused long wrangle Messrs Knight, Woolff, Jones of Conecuh, Johr- son of Jackson, Harris of Chambers, Me- Milan of Wilcox and Whitson of Talla- dega supporting the measure. and MT Kennedy of Lee opposing it. The bill was 
 until o'clock.
 MT. Jones of Monroe secured the pas sage of an important bill, which seeks to compel any person or corporation to repair public roads and bridges when such person or corporation, or their agents, render any road or bridge un- fit for public use by hauling unreasonably, heavy loads over them.
 The Senate.
 The Senate spent most of the morning session in the consideration of two measures, one of which was of very great State importance, and the other endorsed by many of the leaders of the State The first was passed; the latter was lost
 Soon after the Senate met Senator liar rison called up his bill, which seeks to prevent a deficit in the State treasury, This bill has been made necessary by the very large appropriations which have been made during the present session. The bill gives to the Governor. Auditor and Treasurer authority to pro rate all moneys in the treasury between the diff ferent appropriations on an equal per centage It is estimated that the deficit for the year will reach near one-half mil lion of dollars, and to prevent this deficit appropriations for each and every cause will equally suffer. There was but one vote cast against the bill.
 Birmingham Bills Passed.
