TO DECIDE CASE
 ON OSTEOPATHY
WHETHER TREATMENT IS lN- CLUDED IN LAWS GOVERNING PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AN IN- TERESTING POINT.

To get a legal opinion as to whether osteopathy is included in the laws gov erning the practice of medicine in Ala bama is the object of a test case to be tried before Judge Samuel Greene in the Criminal Court today. Similar cases are being tried all over the United States.
 The local case is against Dr. E. D. Bragg, and comes up on warrant charg- ing him with practicing medicine without a license. Local physicians are said to be behind the prosecution. Cabaniss & Weakley have been retained to conduct this side of the case
 Attorney B. M. Allen will defend Dr. Bragg. The defense will be that osteo- pathy Is not a medical treatment He will introduce witnesses whom he claims will testify that it is not a medical treatment, but treatment of the bones by rubbing. At least one witness, Attor- ney Allen claims, will testify as to the cure of rheumati by the treatment.
 Similar cases have come up in recent years all over the United States, and the opinions of the judge before whom they were tried vary. Some have decided 1t was practice of medicine and some have decided exactely the opposite.
 In Alabama to practice medicine with out license Is criminal and the decision of Judge Greene will therefore be inter- esting to lawyers and doctors all over the State.

FRUIT STANDS TAKE
 TOO MUCH SPACE
Commercial Club Discusses Question and Refers Complaints to the
 Grievance Committee.

At the request of several citizens and business men Secretary Gibson made a statement to the Commercial Club yes- terday afternoon regarding complaints about fruit stands on sidewalks. Col T. G. Bush made a short talk on the sub ject, saying that the law Is abused and the abuse should be stopped.
 c. H. Estes moved that the club ask that the Board of Aldermen refuse to permit any more stands on the sidewalks.
 J. A. VanHoose spoke against the reso- lution, saying there were restrictions which, if enforced, would stop so much abuse. He said a compromise was what was wanted-not abolishment.
 President Exum and others spoke along the same line, after which, upon motion of Prof. w. J. Wheeler, the question was referred to the grievance committee.
 At the meeting of the board of directors which preceded the regular club meeting the reports of officers were received. F. c. Buck, J. Cary Thompson and J. B. Proctor were elected m embers of the club. A letter from First Vice President J. w. Johnson, resigning from the position. was read. The resignation was not accepted.

MAN IN AWFUL STATE.
Does Not Know His Name and Has
 Nothing to Identify Him.

Tn such condition that he could not tell his name and having nothing about him by which he could be identified, a white man was brought into the city jail last night at 11:45 o'clock nearer dead than alive. His condition was caused by the too free use of whisky. according to Dr. Rittenberry who was at the Jail when the man was brought in.
 He was lifeless. seemingly, and lay as a corpse in the arms of the officers who made the arrest. After he had been worked on for while the physicians stated that 1t was whisky and not an opiate, as was at first supposed.
 The man foamed at the mouth and his grcans made the corridors of the jail ring with gruesome sound His face gradually swelled until he had the ap- pearance of man who had been on q long drunk
 His pulse at first was very irregular, but after the medicines given him to relieve his nerves began to take effect it gradu- ally returned to normal.
 Captain Weir and Officers Baker and Brown made the arrest.
 While standing at the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street the officers saw a man running from them down twentieth street. Suddenly he dropped and when the officers reached him he was limp as a corpse. They supposed him to be doped and took him to the city jail.

CAPTAIN O'BRIEN IS A
 CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

Capt. Frank P. O'Brien is a candidate for Mayor to succeed Hon. W. M. Dren- nen.
 You may state positively that I will make the race for Mayor" said Captain o'Brien last night, "and I feel confident of success.
 T did not intend making the announce ment this early, as the election does not occur until year from next May, but as many of my friends told me that other candidates were seeking their support I decided to let them know that I would be in the race.'
 Captain o'Brien did not give the names of his opponents, but it is rumored that Robert H. Thach, w. H. Kettig, George B. Ward and Mayor Drennen are among the probable candidates.
 Mayor Drennen was asked last night if he would ask for a third term and he re- piled: q cannot answer that question just now. I do not know"

ENDORSE MAYORS
 GOOD ROADS PLAN

Mayor Drennen returned to Birming- ham last night with flush Of triumph on his face. He went before the good roads convention with his plan to create the office of state commissioner of pub lie highways and he received the unan- imous endorsement of the convention.
 As a result of Mayor Drennen's move- ment the State Good Roads Association will present to the Legislature bill which provides for the creation of commissioner of public highways. with a probable salary of $25Oo or $500 per year.
 We had fine meeting," said MT. Drennen, land I never saw body Of men more enthusiastic over a subject which means so much good to the peo- pie of Alabama. If this spirit of progress will keep up it's present march, few years will elapse before Alabama is one of the most progressive state in the union in every way. Bad roads impede progress, and we intend to keep up our fight to build good roads through every county fin the state."
 Col J. F. B. Jackson and J. A. Roun- tree returned with Mayor Drennen. They stated that more than 300 delegates were at the meeting.
 MT. Rountree presented a proposition to work county convicts on the public roads, which was heartily endorsed. He was made secretary of the association and a member of the executive committee, of which Col. J. M. Falkner Is chairman. Mayor Drennen was elected vice president from the state at large, and also mem- Der of the executive committee.

 The fifth ground on which a. discharge is to be refused Is that the petitioner has been granted a discharge in bankruptcy within six years. We think this Is a most wise provision, and will cure one of the most fragrant evils of the law as 1t now reads but your committee recommends that the law be further amended so as to require the voluntary petitioner in bank ruptcy to state in his petition under oath whether he has within six years applied for and received a discharge in bank. ruptcy, and if he has, that his petition be dismissed
 Your committee is also of the opinion that no firm, person or corporation en- titled to the benefit of the bankrupt law, but whose liabilities do not exceed three hundred dollars, should receive a dis charge in bankruptcy. This would main- tain the dignity of the law and prevent its abuse by small debtors, who by hon. est and industrious effort could discharge an indebtedness falling below the sum stipulated

TO PROVIDE A SILVER
 SERVICE FOR ALABAMA

At a well-attended meeting of the Com mercial Club yesterday afternoon move ment was started to collect S10o0 by pub. lie subscription in Birmingham as the citys contribution to a fund to present the battleship Alabama with a silver service. President Exum stated that he would name fifteen active men to do the work and would make the announcement of their names Saturday.
 Mir Exum said that such a committee had been named shortly before the storm which did such great damage to the city, but that nothing had been done on ac- count of the large amount of money ii was found necessary to raise at that e-e-t ~~~%~~>~->-%->-%->->- comment raised by Wednesday nights s election, and in conclusion was asked the following questions:
 "Do you believe city officials paid by taxpayers should be elected in executive session?''
 2. 'Do you think your constituents have a right to know for whom you voted in selecting officials to serve them?'
 3. Are you in favor of open sessions of the council on all such matters HE EvADES
 DIRECT QUESTIONS.
 The Mayor replied to the first question by asking if city officers had not been elected that way for the last twenty or twenty-five years.
 On being urged for a direct answer he dictated the following in reply to the first and third questions:
 "I am in favor of following the prece- dent set by the Democratic party in the matter of municipal or any other cleo, tions.'
 To the second question he replied:
 "Without deciding the abstract question as to the right of the people to know, am willing that they should know my in. dividual vote in the election of any city official"

 In an eloquent speech Col. Rufus N. Rhodes referred to the sentiment con- nected with the name Alabama" on &C., count of the prominent part played by a battleship of the same name during the civil war and to the fact that former Secretary of the Navy Herbert was from this State.

Grinncll, Oct. S.-George Gwin Is no
longer street commissioner of the city
of Grinnell. The council meeting last
evening was a most interesting one. At
ter the transaction of some minor mat
tiers, including the voting OF an extern
sion OF the sewer between High street
and State street, north from Third ave-
nue., petition signed by Mailer and
Preston, of the street and alley commit
tee, that the action of the committee In
discharging the street commissioner be
sustained by the council was presented.
This petition raised the question
whether the action of the committee In
discharging the commissioner was val
id, Attorney Lyman ruled that It was
not. A motion was then made that 1t
be the will of the council that Mr.. Gwin
be discharged on the ground of absolute
refusal to follow the directions given
him by the street and alley committee.
This opened the question to the house
as to whethersthe refusal to perform the
duties asked was not wholly justifiable.
since the duties asked were not reason
able. Since the attempt to secure a
committee of investigation at the meet
ing last Thursday night had failed there
was no report as to the details In the
case, and the discussion of the details of
the case was shut off as soon as it was

flee This was fatty and bluntly denied
by Mayor Spaulding. The attempt te
shut off any discussion of the details OF
the case led to the charge of gag law
from one of the councilmen. No further
discussion of the details of the case
would have given further light on the
case. however, as the matter had been
fully talked over at the Thursday night
meeting, and there was no new develop
