IS SUFFICIENT FOR whR.

Washington, Dec. LA cablegam
has been received relating to the seiz-
ure by British and German vessels Of
the Venezuelan navy at La Gusyra.
He makes no reference whatever to
any seizure of custom houses. Mr..
Bowen expresses the opinion that sim
liar seizures may have been made at
other ports.
II was said at the British and Ger.
man embassies that the action of Pres
ident Castro in ordering the arrest Of
al subjects OF the British and Ger
man governments in Caracas was with
olt precedent IN the history OF civil
lized countries supposedly at peace
with each other, and that such an sc-
tion would be regarded as sufficient
ground for . declaration of war.
Members Of the diplomatic corps here
indeed regard IL as being such de-
claration in itself.

Attempted Bribery Goes
to Trial.
WITNESSES BE
HEARD

The Eli Hutchinson murder case
was given to the jury at 1890 O'Clock
this morning, and no verdict had been
rendered at press time.
The case for alleged attempted brib-
cry against Mr.. Ellis M. Headley which
has been ON the docket for about two
years, was called this morning and
went to trial The jury was soon Sc
cured, and will Baker, at one time a
detective for the Goebelites here, was
put on the stand ard the beginning Of
the case consumed largely by sparring
between attorneys. Mr.. Hesdley, it
will be remembered, represented the
Honest Election League, in this distict,
and was alleged to have attempted to
bride election officers through Baker,
who was a detective. The case was
once thrown out of court here on de-
murrer but taken to the court of ap-
peals ana reversed.
II is to be one of the most inte rest
ing of this term Of court. Mr.. Eead.
ley is represented by Hon. WIN Reed,
Judge ". A. Berry and Major T. E.
Moss
The last speech in the Eli Hutchin-
son murder case was made this morn
ing by Commonwealth Attor ney Will
liam Bradshaw.
The evidence in the case was closed
Tuesday and Attorney william Reed,
for the defense, opened the argument.
He spoke slightly over two hours and
was followed by County Attorney Eu-
gene Graves who talked for an hour
and q half. Attorney Sam Grassland,
for the defense, spoke yesterday for
over five hours and this morning Com
monweslth's Attorney Bradshaw
closed the argument.
The principal evidence in favor of
the defense is the threats that Gray
was known to have made, and in the
fact that several witnesses had testi-
fed that Gray was sdangerous man.
To the prosecution every advantage
was offered and most of the evidence
of the case was favorable to them.
The evidence showed that Hutchinson
had gone to Gray's field and shot him
down. IL wss proved that he had
threatened to do this and the crime
was witnessed by the murdered mans
son and daughter.
The wife's statement and also the
dying statement of Gray are strong
bits of evidence against Hutchinson
VINO claims that he did 1t in self de-
Tense. He claims that Gray had
knife and wrench IN his hand and was
coming on him when he was forced
to shoot. 1t was proven that the
wrench had been at the farm house
aud the knife was found closed in
Gray's pocket after the shooting.
Bradshaw finished his speech at 10
O'Clock and the case was given to
the jury at 1890.

TEACHERS EXAMINED
EIGHTY-Two APPLICANTS AT
 CAPITOL YESTERDAY.
Twenty-six Whites and Fifty-six Negroes Want Positions in Public Schools of
 Alabama

An unusual scene was presented In the hall of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol yesterday morning. when eighty-two applicants for certifi- cates as teachers in the public schools of Montgomery County outside the city of Montgomery gathered to be examined touching their ability to teach. Twenty six of the applicants were white persons ard fifty-six of them were negroes.
 The applicants gathered in the hall at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. and they worked preparing their answers to the printed questions propounded to them un- til o'clock yesterday afternoon without stopping for dinner.
 The hall resembled a big school room. The applicants sat at the desks busily en- gagged in writing and referring to the printed questions while J. A. Thompson, Superintendent of Education of Mont gomery County, occupied a seat near the Speakers desk. He was assisted with the negro applicants by Prof. w. B. Pat erson of the State Normal School for Negroes.
 MT. Thompson explained that there were more negro applicants than usual because a great many negro applicants had been turned down at the July exam nations when 1t was discovered that fraud had been practised in securing the answers. He said, however, that at each examination more negroes than white persons applied.
 The examinations of teachers are made semi-annuaiiy in July and January. They are classed into three grades and the ex- aminations are restricted by law to three days. Mir Thompson said he hoped to be able to complete the examinations to- day. The applicants are required to pre- pare their answers to the printed ques- tions without reference to books and must prepare them in the hall. They are not permitted to take the, questions to their homes. For this reason. the Super intendent of Education is required to be present constantly during the progress of the examination.
 As soon as the examination Is com- pleted. the answers will be forwarded to the State Board of Examiners of Teach CTS. They will be properly graded and the State Board will accept or reject the applications according to the fitness and ability of the applicant. If accepted. the applicant will be furnished with a certifi- cate showing his grade as teacher It Is probable the Montgomery applicants will be passed upon by the State Board within the next three weeks. and the re- suit of the examinations made yesterday will then be publicly announced.
 The State Board of Teachers Is com posed of Hon. John w. Abercrombie. Su- perintendent of Education; G, w. Brock ard Prof. J. L. Dodson. The Board is now engaged in compiling the record of the July examinations.

 Chief Gerald says the girl lives on Bell Street at West End and had been employed at the Peoples cotton factory.

This she repeated several times. finally Keating was seen to pick the girl up in his arms and start of with her. Then the girl screamed and begged him to stop and put her down. Keating did so and when Officer Taylor arrived the girl and Heating were sitting together. :" The girl told the police officer that she was not mad at, Heating. but he should not have treated her that way.
 Heating was released last night on bond in the sum of $500 for his appear ance in the Recorders Court this after noon at o'clock.
 Mir. Heating makes the following state ment:
 All I wish to say is that I'm not an assailana and that the facts. when brought out. will vindicate my whole behavior. Until these facts are brought out. please give me the beneit of the doubt"

BURNT CLAY
As Material for Making Good
 Roads.

The Review of Reviews for January has an important aSticle on the value of burnt clay as a substitute for gravel or crushed stone used in building country roads. It says: With no more expen- diture of money and effort than is now put on the country roads, ballasting with burnt clay would produce in dozen years a system of highways equal to any of those for which France has 50 Ions been famous. A burnt gumbo road is never muddy. for that property Is lost in the burning. The surface of the road bicycles and automobiles 1t is ideal. For carriages and heavy wagons 1t has nc superior. No vegetation can grow on it. ts is practically free rom aust, after veloped, so that mud Is not brought in from the tributary roads. Moreover, the warm red highways contrast pleasingly against the green landscape at those sea- sons of the year when country drives are most enjoyable"

Cleveland. O., Jan. 6.-Chairman New comb of the committee of bankers in charge of the affairs of the Everett Moore syndicate, said today that 1t would probably be two weeks before a detailed statement could be prepared showing the actual financial condition of the various properties of the syndicate.
 ''The trial balance reports for Novem ber." said MT. Newcomb, indicates that practically all the urban and inter-urban electric railways of the syndicate are money makers"
 MT. Newcomb added that in his judg- ment the embarrassment of the syndi- cate resulted simply from the fact that many new enterprises were put under way before they were financed.
