Diamond Notes.

The Birmingham team is playing in hard luck at present. In yesterday S game they outplayed the visitors in the field and hit the ball harder, but luck was against them and they could not win. The home team made nine hits for a total of fifteen bases, while the visitors only made fifteen bases off their ten hits. The locals only made one error to five for the visitors. It was a hard game to lose, but there is no disgrace to the home boys in the defeat. They are playing good ball and as long as they do that the fanc will stick to them. Parrott's freak home run hit in the first when two men were on bases gave the visitors the victory. Then in the ninth after getting two trikes on Corbett. Wilhelm hit him with a pitched ball. and the next three men hit safely.
 "Tacky" Tom Parrott. long, lank and lean as of yore, was applauded when he went to bat the first time, and he knock ed the ball over the fence It was close to the foul line, and had the fence been ten feet further back would have been a foul hit. That was his only hit in the game
 Mills will play today and the chances are that he will steer his team to victory. He Is one of the best ball tossers that ever played in the south when in condi- ton. He says he has the material on his team to place 1t up with the leaders and he is going to see that 1t goes there.
 Probably when he gets in the game the ''hoodoo'' will depart. If good, hard con- scientious ball playing will drive 1t away,

BY FRANK HARVEY MILLER.

Montgomery, June 2S.--(SpeciaD-"T are f1fty-six sections in the article on legislative department in the present constitution but there are 64 in the artl- cle reported by my committee" said ex- Governor William c. Oates, who is chair man of the committee on legislative de- pertinent, in speaking of it's report to an Age-Herald correspondent.
 In answer to a question about some of the new features in the proposed article. Governor Oates continued: gro begin with, the Legislature is called the Leg islature and not the General Assembly as in the present Constitution. This express sion is antiquated and suited Every one speaks of 1t as the Legislature and 1t has been so called in the new article.
 Another similar change in matter of verbage is the form prescribed for the enacting clause of bills Formerly all bills began with the sentence. Be 1t en- acted by the General Assembly of Ala bama and is is hereby enacted by au- thority of the same, etc Then each sub division began with the sentence Be 1t further enacted, etc. The new form pre- scribed begins with the sentence Be 1t enacted by the Legislature of Alabama, the sections following numbered one, two, three, etc., without repeating the sen- tence Be it further enacted
 "A new feature Is a requirement. that all bills shall be referred to a standing committee of the Legislature and that every bill must pass by yea and nay vote and must be read in full on its final passage, and together with all amend ments must be recorded on the journal together with the ay ss and nays. Here tofore bills of a local character have been left to the members of the county which was affected by them and no one else paid much attention to them. Amendments were tackled on to them and the Shelby County court house bill shows how easy 1t was to pass bills that no one knew anything about.
 There Is also a provision in the article which Is intended to prevent lobbying. This prohibits any one but members, rep resentatives of the press and employees being on the floor of either house except by a unanimous vote.
 There Is another section also which makes it a penitentiary affense to attempt to bribe any member of the Legislature. The punishment for this heretofore has been merely a fine or fine and imprison- ment.
 "There is section of the article which prohibits counties and cities from increas- ing the salaries of any officer during his A AA (

term of office and prevents the Legisla- ture from authorizing them to increase it. There have been several instances of counties giving to state officials an ad- ditional salary to what the state paid, and this section is inteneded to put a stop to 1t.
 There is also a section which prevents the Legislature from authorizing mar riages between white people and any per son who has negro blood unto their third generation, although one of such persons parents may have been white. This is put in to preserve the purity of both races. There is no danger of such a law at present, but there Is no telling what may happen in the future and this pro- vision is intended as a safe guard.
 ''The oath which members of the Legis- lature are required to take has been made more stringent. They not only have to swear to support the constitution of the United States and of this state. but they swear especially to observe the provis- ions of the article on legislative.
 There here has been great waste of time heretofore in the legislature about passing an appropriation bill. Some times this is put off until the last moment and one is gotten up in a hurry. new section in this article makes it the duty of the Governor, Auditor and Attorney General to prepare a revenue bill to be presented to the legislature as soon as or ganized. They are not obliged to adopt 1t. but it gives them something to go by.
 Another section prohibits any appro- priation except as provided for by law. A new feature also is that the state is au- thorized to build a railroad if it deems 1t advisable. In these days of railroad com binations it may happen that railroad may become monopoly and make arbi- trary charges. This enables the state, if 1t sees fit, to build parallel line to 1t to force down prices Even if this is never done the merefact that the State has the right to do it will be of great moral in- fiuence.
 There is a provision also which re- quires the Legislature to make reasonable laws to prevent trusts making combines to force up the price of commodities or to stifie competition. Another important general. This prevents special legislation. pay but little attention to a law which effects bu one county. but where 1t must affect all hey are obliged to take an in- terest in it.
 "The Legislature will hereafter meet but once every four years and the ses- sions are limited to fifty days, except the first Legislature after the adoption of this constitution, which may sit sixty days. Under the provisions of this arti- cle and the article on local legislation the Legislature is prohibited from enacting local laws on so many subjects that fifty days will give it ample time in which to consider all bills of general interest"

Ar EASY GUESS.
What Was Done to Billy Magruder, .
 Georgia Negro.

Georgetown. Ga. June 2s.-Billy Magru- der, young negro on John Whitaker's place, this county. made an attempt to en- ter his daughters room by raising the window. The noise awakened Miss Whit aker and he was recognized by her. She told her father, who sent for the sheriff and had the negro arrested and put in jail. Last night crowd of masked men overpowered the marshal and took the negro from jail. They went in the direc- ton of Alabama and nothing has been heard of them or the negro since.

 ard oil Company's safe was done to set- tie dispute which had arisen in the gang as to whether a safe could be blown open with nitro-glycerine without making noise.
 Miller Is a very bright and brainy fell low. He is a native German and is well educated. He has led a checkered ca reer. In his statement made at his trial he said he was originally in the glass business, but that his left arm was badly burnt by glass at Mupcie, Ind, in 1890 or 1891. He first lived at Williamsburg, N. Y, after coming to this country. Subse- quently at Anderson, Ind, he hurt his right foot in trying to stop a runaway team. These injuries so crippled him that he had to abandon his business, and he took to following fairs and picnics run ming a lemonade stand or lunch counter. Miller also, while living in Indianapolis, became very popular with the flremen there by his careful nursing of some of their number who were injured by col lapsing walls at fire. They were car ried to hospital, where Miller. who was just convalescent from an attack of ill., ness, devoted his time to nursing them.
 The Attempt to Escape.
 All the members of the gang were intel ligent and while in jail four of them. Mil Ter, Duncan, Edwards and West, planned an escape By some means the men ss- cured a small file and saw With these they managed to cut their way through one of the jail windows and escape to the yard. They used rope made of blankets in making this escape, and were trying to go over the outside wall to freedom when a negro trusty discovered them and gave alarm. The warden and several depu- ties quickly surrounded them and forced them to return to their cells. One had 8 revolver secured from former inmate of the jail. FseSbtH A second attempt was made to escape from the jail later, but this was unsuc- cessful on account of the fact that the plan was disclosed by an interested per son.
 The Rest of the Gang. The other members of the gang have all been convicted and sentenced as fol- 1 lows: Frank Edwards, convicted and given twenty-five years; John D. West plead guilty and received the same sen tence; Thomas Fay, convicted and sen fenced to nineteen years; Frank Duncan convicted and given life Imprisonment.
 Miller Asked Forgiveness.
 Wont you forgive me for the crime I have committed?" asked Frank Miller of R. O.. Adams, brother of the murdered officer, J. Wade Adams, yesterday while standing on the scaffold, few minutes before he was executed.
 MT Adams replied to him:
 II have never said an unkind word against you. Miller. I never passed an opinion on the case of murder for which you were tried and convicted left this for the court to do. and 1t was they that said you were guilty, and not l." While Mir. Adams did mt think this was a full confession, he said last night that in his opinion if Miller had been given a better opportunity at the last moment he would have made a full con- fession
 MiIler's Funeral. The funeral of Frank Miller will be con- ducted from the South Side Catholic Church this afternoon. The services will be those of the Roman Catholic Church. The interment will take place at the Catholic cemetery.

WILLIAMS DEATH AND
 THE CRIME COMMITTED

| Alonzo Williams was marched from his | cell at 11:30 o'clock. He was accompanied by two preachers one of whom was Rev. J. M. Hall colored. His manner and &C., tions were that of an historically effect ed religious man of intense belief. He was clapping his hands, smiling. and laughing as though the execution was the happiest incident that could come into the life of any person. His march was direct to the scaffold, and at no time did he show the least nervousness, the least fear, or even the least desire to escape the doom that must come to every man who is marched to the scaffold under sentence.
 Rev. Hall repeated the 123 Psalm and then sang a song, the condemned man and the other negroes in the crowd join ing in the chorus. After the prayer which followed the song. Williams was given an opportunity to make a talk. His speech was rambling, the words were spoken incoherently and his movements were frenzied.
 He said that 1t was all well with him, and that he was ready to go to heaven. He knew God had forgiven his sins, and he wanted every one in the crowd to join him in the brighter and better land be- yond. And even after the black cap was drawn about his head he kept crying Praised be the name of God. am ready. Thank God"
 
 neck was broken, but when the body dropped the reaction of the muscles drew his legs up and caused several movements of the arms and hands. He was pro- nounced dead in twelve minutes and within a short time was cut down. His body was carried to Gaudin & Loy's un- dertalSing establishment.
 Story of the Crime.
 Alonzo Williams killed two negroes, each under the same circumstances. He was hanged for killing Bob Callahan, whom he killed while serving a life sen- tence for killing another negro.
 Williams was originally confined in the Pratt mines for non-capital offense, and while serving his term there he be- came enrnged at fellow convict and plunged pick through his hoad. killing him almost instantly. He claimed that the deed was done in self-defense, but upon his trial he was convicted and sen fenced to the penitentiary for life.
 After his return to Pratt Mines 1t was not long before he had q row with an- other fellow convict and this row culmi- mated as did the other. Williams drove pick through the other negro's head, pro- ducing instant death.

. All this Is true. and yet It is also Z
. true that there are real; and grave =
. evils, one of the chief being over
. capitalization, because Of its baneful =
. consequences, and a resolute n 2
. practical effort must be made to corr :
. rect these evils.
There is q widespread conviction in the
minds Of the American people that the
great corporations known as trusts are IN
certain Of their features and tendencies
hurtful to the general welfare. rms
springs from no spirit of envy or unchar-
itableness nor lack Of pride in the great
industrial achievements that have placed
this country at the head Of the nations
struggling for commercial supremacy. II
does not rest upon a lack Of intelligent
appreciation. of the necessity OF meeting
changing and changed conditions of trade
with new methods nor upon Ignorance OF
the fact that combination Of capital In
the effort to- accomplish great things Is
necessary when the worlds progress de-
mands that great things be done. It is
based upon sincere conviction that COM
bination and concentration should be not
prohibited, hut .supervised and within rea-
sonable limits controlled, and in my judg-
ment this conviction is right.
It is no Limitation upon property rights
or freedom Of contract to require that
when men receive from government the
privilege Of doing business under corpo-
rate form which frees them from indi-
vidual responsibilities and enables them
to call into their enterprises the capital
OF the public they Shall do SO upon alb
solutely truthful representations as to
the value on the property in which the
capital Is to be invested. Corporations
engaged In Interstate commerce should
be regulated II they are found to exercise
q license working to the public injury.
It should be as much the aim of those
who seek for social betterment to rid the
business world of crimes Of cunning as
to rid the entire body polite of crimes
of violence. Great corporations exist
only because they are created and safe
guarded by our institutions, and it is
therefore our right and our duty to see
that they work in harmony with the in
situations.
