SYNOD DECLINES
 GEORGIA'S OFFER Prominent 0reSbyterianS Meet on College Question, MOVEMENT STARTED HERE Good Reasons Were Shown Why It Would Be Better to Unite With
 Georgia In Establishing
 a College.
MOVEMENT STARTED HERE

Selma, February 12-(special. )-The sy. nod of Alabama met in called session last night at the First Presbyterian church in this city. Rev. Neal L. Ander- son of Montgomery presided. Moderator Donald Mcqueen being absent. Rev. M w. Tappey of Valley Creek church was made temporary clerk. After the reading of the call, in which 1t was stated that the purpose of the meeting was to take action in the matter of overtures made by the Georgia synod through the board of trustees for a joint synodical college, the committee appointed at the meeting | of the synod in Birmingham last fall to take up the organization of college for Alabama made it's report This commit tee did not make any recommendation in the premises, but referred the whole matter to the synod.
 Rev. w. T. Waller moved that the over lures be declined, and after a very con else and able statement by Dr. A. B. Curry of Birmingham as to why it would be better not to establish a joint college, the synod unanimously adopted MT. Wal ler's motion. Dr. Curry and MT Waller were then appointed a committee to draft letter to the Georgia synod set ting forth the action of the synod, and they presented the following. which was adopted:
 'To the proposition from the synod of Georgia, through the board of trustees that the two synods cooperate in the es- tablishment of a college. the synod of Alabama makes the following answer:
 While appreciating the courtesy and the fraternal feeling manifested by our sister synod in their proposition for CO., operation, and while aware of the req sons which may be urged in its favor, we are of the opinion that the weightier req sons are against 1t. We believe that the great end in view viz, the bringing of higher education within the reach of the greatest number of young men, will be better accomplished by each synod hay ing it's own college
 For these and other reasons the synod expresses the opinion that cooperation with the sister synod of Georgia is not advisable, and the chairman of the synod committee on the college Is requested to convey this action to the synod of Geor gia through it's board of trustees" Upon recommendation of the committee Rev. w T. Aller of the Tuscaloosa pres bytery and Rev. Neal L. Anderson of the south Alabama presbytery were add ed by the synod to the committee on the college
 At the request of the Bessemer church the date of the meeting was changed from November 6 next to November 15, the meeting place being Bessemer. 1 There was no action whatever taken as to the location of the college the matter being in the hands of the committed, and they are far from taking the subject Of location up. Their first efforts will be to inaugurate a campaign of education and then the raising of sufficient funds to en- dow the institution. Then will come the selection of a location, and Selma in- tends to make a strong fight for the col 1 lege

WEAVER OBTAINS
 JUDGMENT FOR $1O
LAWSUIT OVER FEE BETWEEN FORMER LAW PARTNERS IS DE- cIDED BY JUSTICE OF THE PEACE H. B. ABERNATHY.

| Justice of the Peace H. B. Abernathy yesterday morning gave a verdict for the full ameunt-S10-in- the suit of 8. L. Weaver against R. L. Leatherwood. The case has been appealed to the Circuit Court.
 The decision was based on the assign ment of the $i0 sued for by ". N. We casey to Attorney s. L. Weaver. The money had been paid R. L. Leatherwood by Wecasey as a retaining fee for his aid in a case which MT. Weaver had pre- viousiy been asked to handle. When We casey found it would not be agreeable to MT. Weaver to have MT. Leatherwood as- sist him he asked that the money be re- turned He refused and the suit was brought.
 Both MT. Weaver and MT. Leatherwood have made the following statements In reference to the case as reported yester- day morning
 MT. Leaherwood says:
 ''The Age-Herald was mistaken in stat ing the case of Weaver vs. Leatherwood that J. N. Wecasey was corroborated by Whatleys testimony. Leatherwood and Wecasey both stated that the conversa- ton was entirely private; that neither Whatley nor any one else heard 1t.
 q struck Wecasey because nc testified to matters that were not true and that no gentleman could take. Whatley's tes- tinony was about fees that he paid Weaver while partner with Leather wood that Leatherwood claims was never reported, and Weaver admitted it on the stand and said he was willing for Leatherwood to have credit for the amount that Whatley had paid.
 (Signed) 'R. L. LEATHERwOOD."
 MT. Weaver says:
 T desire to make a correction of the statement contained in your paper of the 12th instant in reference to the unfor- tunate lawsuit between myself and R. L. Leatherwood. He did not attack me as the report showed.
 "The only two cases he mentioned that should have been Tn the books were Of two clients that owed me long before R. l.. Leatherwood came to Birmingham, and the fee In one of the cases was divid- ed with him because a portion of the work was done after the formation of the partnership. He never charged me with corruption in any form.
 (Signed) IS. l.. WEAVER"

Officers Are Without Instructions as to Social Duties, But Will Attend No Function Until Prince
 Henry Arrives.

1 New York. February 12-The German imperial yacht Hohenzollern. commanded by Admiral Count von Badissin, arrived unexpectedly at New York this afternoon day ahead of her schedule When she cable advices stated that she would pro- ceed to Bermuda, and after a stay of a day or so in that port would proceed to the United States.
 The Hohenzollern was sighted by the marine observer at Atlantic Highlands few minutes before noon. An hour later she passed into the Narrows, and as she steamed past Fort Wadsworth and Ham, ilton the German naval ensign was dis- played from the staff on her taffrail Word of her arrival had been promptly sent to quarantine, and when she came up the doctors were waiting to board and pass her The delay was very slight and before 1:3O o'clock the big yacht was heading up the harbor for Hoboken, where she will be docked and cleaned. The Hohenzollern was recognized by the shipping In the harbor and nearly all the passing vessels saluted either with a dip of the colors or a whistle.
 The Kaiser's yacht is a bark-rigged, two-funnel man-of -war-like craft with a ram bow. She shows no guns in sight, but carries eight rapid-f1re Krupp guns. At quarantine 1t was said by her officer that the question of their acceptance of any social courtesies prior to the arrival of the prince had not been considered by them, but they did not think it would be proper to attend any function until Prince Henry arrives.
