LEAGUE COMES HERE
ALABAMA MAYORS TO MEET IN
MONTGOMERY.
After Spirited Contest Invitation
Extended by Mayor Joseph
Was Accepted-Great
Good to City.

Mayor Joseph has returned from Biz
mingham, where he attended the meeting
of the Executive Commute of the Ala
bama League Of municipalities. At the
meeting he presented the invitation OF
Montgomery for the League to hold its
annual convention in May in this city.
This invitation. in spite of the spirited
fight of Birmingham and other cities to
secure the convention, was accepted.
The League win hold its convention In
May and will probably be in session three
days In Montgomery Nearly every In
corporated town and city in Alabama Is
a member Of the League. and there will
be about eighty accredited delegates to
the convention, although the attending
crowd will be much larger.
The program for the May convention
has not yet been prepared. but part Of it
was gone over at the meeting Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee The League seeks to
work for the improvement of Alabama In
harmony with the municipal provision OF
the new constitution.
"T found that Montgomery would have
to fight to get the May convention Of the
League" said Mayor Joseph yesterday.
"A number Of other cities In the State
were anxious to entertain the body. 1t
was recognized that the meeting OF the
League would be of great advantage to
any city ard the several cities strove for
the honor of entertaining the body. Mont
gomery, however, which is. after all, the
true convention city Of Alabama, won
out over all competitors.
"In my opinion. the holding Of the con-
vention In Montgomery will be an i'm
portant event for the city. and the peo-
Pile should cooperate In making the stay
of the Mayor delegates pleasant as well
as profitable. The League was organized
for ia -
and Montgomery has her own municipal
problems. towards the settlement of
which the discussion will go a long ways.
The League was not organized to pass
resolutions. but for the interchange of
ideas. While it is in session In Mont
gomery. 1t will draw the attention of the
whole of the State to this city"

ON CHARGE OF MURDER
jim NIX REMANDED TO JAIL
WITHOUT BAIL.
He is Charged With the Murder Of
Alonzo Poston, Another Negro.
It Is Said Killing Was
Brutal.

Jim Nix was yesterday remanded to jail
by Justice r. II. Jones, without bail on
the charge of murder.
The evidence brought out in Nix's pre-
lifninary hearing showed that he had ta-
ken an active part In the brutal murder
Of Alonzo Poston in January. The evil
dence showed that Poston and Nix be-
came involved in a difficulty in Epper-
sons store in the northern part of the
city. Epperson elected the fighting ne
Eroes from his store. Cissy Lowe. ne
gro woman, was in some way mixed up
with the fght. The negroes left Epper-
sons store and went to a restaurant
across the street There the trouble was
renewed. Nix and Poston fought their
way out In the street. Poston, who was
drunk, attempted to run. Mig followed
him with thick short board. He struck
Poston over the head with this board
again and again, fracturing the skull
Poston was beaten down on the ground
and as he lay there Nix iabbed the board
with all strength in his face. The Jagged
end of 1t cut one eye out Of the socket.
Even then Nix was not satisfied but
jumped into the face of the PROSTATE
man.
The defense attempted to discredit the
witnesses who had given the above tes-
timony but the Justice held Nix without
bail to answer the charge of murder ]

T. P. A. NOTES. fs
1 Mr.. Selig Gassenheimer, ex-President
| of Post A, after a six months confine-
| ment with aggravated rheumatism is
4 able to be about on cruteches. The first
| business proposition he made to a fellow
! sufferer who only had one sound leg was
to swap his game" leg for the fellows
| sound one, so that one of them might
have a pair of good legs. Gass has lost
| some fesh but his good humor and
sense of fun still remain. He says that
his crutches and about $500 stand in the
way of his going to Portland a
National delegate.
Much speculation is rife as to who will
be the next State President. If the pre-
sent incumbent, J. ii. McAndrew, de-
clines to be a candidate, there is bunch
of good material to select from. Mabry,
Atkins, Hopper and Devices the respec-
tive presidents may be in line of
promotion. but it is no unusual thing to
take a delegate from off the floor for
president. The name of Lucien LaTaste
has been mentioned as a candidate, but
nobody knows Mr.. LaTasteS views ON
this subject. Hon. f. j. Meyer of Post
A. has been suggested an ideal can
didate, should he chose to offer himself
for this Office. Hon. George W. Jones,
is also mentioned as a dark horse. Be
this. as 1t may. Post A has plenty of
presidential timber.
1t will be quite an honor to be elected
National Delegate to Portland, Oregon
The great distance will probably prevent
any scramble at the election.
Colonel e. L. Higdon of Birmingham,
the State Secretary will attend the con-
veution at Mobile, and his Post will send
the largest delegation as 1t contains about
half of the States entire membership
The last convention held in Mobile was
four years ago and those who attended
remember the hospitality of the Mo-
bilians. Since that time Mobile has in
vested a million dollars in its streets and
sewerage system.
The delegates from Montgomery will
leave Tuesday and probably put up at
the Battle House.

BOTH PRISONERS GOT AWAY.
Saloon Used as a Temporary Jail Fail
ed to Hold the Men.

Two men were arrested eight miles
from Tucumcari this week charged
with stealing and Strengthening cattle.
They were seen burying something
which proved to be a hide and the
brand furnished grounds for their ar
rest. They were taken into Tucumcari
and temporarily held in a saloon while
an investigation was being made. This
resulted in the finding of twelve steers
heads in the bottom of a water hole
near where the hide was found. In the
evening the officer in charge of the
men relaxed his vigilance a moment
and one of the men, William Raper,
made his escape. Several shots were
fired in the direction he took but the
officer could not follow him as he had
to guard the other prisoner. Later
the other prisoner was paroled and
promised to appear in cour the next
morning, but he has not been seen
since.
