WHO RENTED THE ROOM?
Question That Stirred Common
Council at Last Nights Meeting.

The chief topic at last nights meet
ing of common council was to discover
who rented the basement of the city
building without the knowledge or the
sanction of the building committee.
1t was Mr.. Whitfield who asked the
question. He stated that a portion of
the basement had been rented to the
Pennsylvania Telephone company. at a
rental of $3.50 per month. In order to
accommodate the new tenant. parti-
tion was to be built, or had been built
by the city at a cost of SIS or there
abouts. Mr.. Whitfield said that four OF
the six members of the joint building
committee declared they knew nothing
about the renting of the cellar. The
matter was brought up. Mr.. Whitfield
said, because he wanted councils to
know how things were being run"

THE STRIPLINGS AGAIN.
This Time They're Ambitious and
Address the Cycle Club.

Flushed with victory. the Curbstone
Striplngs are reaching out for lnightier
things than conquering such as the
Swiftwinds. They are after all the
glory that's in sight and some that's
hidden. With this in mind, and firmly
fixed there, with the searchlight Of
ambition turned on to keep it bright,
they have lighted on the Cycle club as
the easiest possible chance of win-
ming the aforesaid glory. The Strip
lings want to play the Cycle men;
they want to defeat them, and, they
are practicing right smart to do it, as
Detective Lafe Smith would say. De-
vanney and LOTUS are the Striplings'
battery, which means that there will
be something doing in the pitching and
catching department and nothing doing
among the Cycle club batters.

SUIT IS TRANSFERRED.
COUNTY OF MONTGOMERY xvs
 FIDELITY DEPOSIT co.
Defendant Asks That Case be Car ried to Judge Jones' Court, Claiming Local Influence, and
 Prejudice in Case.

Judge Jones issued yesterday an order transferring the suit of the County of Montgomery against the Fidelity and De- posit Company Of Maryland to the Fed answer to petition of the attorneys of the company praying for the transfer and alleging that the defendant corpora tion could not secure a fair trial in the City Court on account of prejudice and local influence. The order was made un- der the act of Congress known as the Local Prejudice Act" This act author izes the Judge to transfer a case to the Federal Court when one of the parties resides in a different State and estab- fishes to the satisfaction of the Judge that he cannoC receive an impartial trial.
 Judge Jones's action under this law was simply ex parte. The allegations ct the petitioners were not proved nor were petition and the accompanying affidavit was filed the Judge directed that the case be transferred.
 The plaintin in the action has the right to appear before Judge Jones and move that the case be remanded. If the plain tiff establishes to the satisfaction of the Judge that the allegations of the defend- ant are unfounded the case may again be sent back to the City Court.
 The case is styled The County of Montgomery vs. John J. Cochran. Princi- pal. and Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland" The petition addressed ito
 
 civil nature, and that the amount ~in- volved Is more than $2.O00 It states that the suit grew out of the failure of the Josiah Morris & Co. bank which Is ow- ing it's creditors sum approximating S900.000. The petition further says that the majority of the creditors signed an agreement whereby they were to receive certain stated payments and that the bank failed to make the second payment. The petition states that on account of publications made in the press a feeling of prejudice exists toward the defendant company. which is on the bond of ]. !. Cochran. County Treasurer. and who had deposited a large sum belonging to the County in the bank. The petition claims that the Maryland Fidelity and Deposit Company is the real defendant in the suit as Cochran would not be able to pay more than 5000 if judgment against him was rendered. The petition further claims that the decision will establish a prece- dent, and as it is on the bond of many County officials in Alabama and an ad- verse decision would have a most hurtful effect upon the defendants business. It is not know yet whether the attorneys for the County. will appear before Judge Jones to ask that the case be remanded to the City Court
