Family Row Lands Two
Year Old Child in Jail

T. M. Haas at 2 o'clock this morning
was restlessly walking the floor at the
city jail with his two-year-old baby IN ms
arms. He Is held on a charge OF assault
and battery on his wife, and the wiIe'
formerly Miss Allen of this city Is at ner
fathers home on bond of SIS for disor-
derby conduct. These incidents are mere
details of a family row last night In
room No. SO at the Morris Hotel. occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Haas. Another detail
which the patrons of the hotel may not
relish is that they were rudely awakened
from their slumbers and persistently kept
awake for several hours by the Haas
troubles.
Haas, 1t is alleged. accused his wife of
infidelity. He told her he contemplated
separation and would take the child with
him. This ELECTED numerous screams and
a rapid fire volley of hot words from
both sides. He attacked her. SO she
claims, and she in self defense drew a
pistol and snapped 1t at him three times,
but the gun was empty He took the
baby, pretty two-year-old girl, and lock-
ed himself In another room, while she
made desperate attempts to get at him.
Policeman Mcdonald was first called
and he soon telephoned Captain Weir
to come to the rescue. Captain Weir
heard both sides and ended the matter
by placing both under arrest.
Many of the guests of the hotel were
gathered In the. hall when Captain Weir

NEGRO WANTED FOR
ASSAULT CAUGHT
WILL SHEPPARD, WHO ASSAULT
ED MRS. JONES AT coRDOVA, is
HELD IN MEXICO ToWN-TRoU.
BILE FEARED IN WALKER.

Sheriff j. S. Moore. of Walker county
is en- route to Mexico, where he expects
to get Will Sheppard. a negro, who as
saulted Mrs. Jones in Cordova on June
q 1899. The sheriff passed through
Birmingham yesterday with requisition
papers signed by the Governor and will
get the necessary papers from the Unit
ed States before he crosses the line.
Sheriff Moore received a telegram from
the chief of police in Wasenburg, Tex.
Wednesday stating that the picture which
he had sent them was identically like the
negro being held just across the line at
Rattoon, Mexico, and that he would be
held awaiting authorities from Walker
county.
Will Sheppard formerly lived in Walker
county and was KIN Hn by many citizens.
He assaulted Mrs. Jones and when she
told who did it, he left the country and
no traces were ever found of him until
recently. Lynching was threatened when
the deed was discovered and 1t is now
feared there will be trouble when the me-
gro is brought back. Sheriff Moore said
last night he would not have any trou-
BILE as long as the prisoner was In his
charge. and that the negro would not be
lynched or burned If he could prevent it.
Mrs. Jones died shortly after the assault
and 1t is generally believed that death
came from the effects of the attempt.

made his decision. The women sided
with the wife and begged Captain
Weir to give the baby to the
mother. They told him he had no right
to take child from the mother and
that he was cruel The men, however.
agreed with Captain Weir and tried to
persuade the women to see it their way.
Haas said after being carried to Jail
his wife attempted his life with pis-
toll and called him many ugly names.
He said he had been married about five
years and that he was heart broke over
the affair.
Haas was walking the floor with the
baby in his arms. He refused to sit down
as he feared the baby would cry.
Mrs. Haas said before leaving the hotel
that she would secure lawyer today to
procure her child.
Haas is registered at the Morris. as
DR." and his business is selling medi-
cine on the streets.

atoms. After living apart for few

FRANCE WANTS MONEY.
VIII Attempt to Collect From vene.
zueIa-Sounds United States.

Paris, January 9.-The correspondent Of
the Associated Press has made inquiries
in official quarters regarding the develop
ment of the attitude of France towards
Venezuela. He learns that French-men
having claims against Venezuela are urg-
ing their government to adopt coercive
measures. The government, however, is
undecided whether to do so or not.
Nevertheless, in view of the possibiit
of such action, 1t has informally sounded
Washington on the feeling OF the Unit
ed States on the matter. 1t can be pos
itively said that whatever action France
may take will be absolutely independ-
ent of that of Germany with which
country there will be no cooperation.
The authorities here are waiting for a
turn of events in the civil war in vene-
zuela, but In any case the action Of
France will be non-political and will be
confined to obtaining satisfaction for
material injury to the interests of French
citizens.

GREAT INTEREST
In ROAD BUILDING
MR. DODGE OF PUBLIC ROAD IN.
oUiRIEs REPORTS THAT NEVER
WAS so MUCH ACTUAL WORK
ACCOMPLISHED. -

Washington, January 9-The report of
Hon. Martin Dodge, director Of the office
of public road inquiries of the agricultural
department for 1901 says that never in the
history of this country has there been SO
much interest manifested in road building
and more actual work in that line was
done last year than ever.
Out of large number of requests for
practical cooperation, five places have
been selected where the office will as
sist in building object lesson roads.
These places are Buffalo, New York, Cum
berland Nd, Charlottesville, Va, Jones'
boro, Tenn, and Tama, Ia
Sections of the various kinds of roads.
including earth, gravel, m acadam, etc,
will be built The office will cooperate
with the National Good Roads Association
and the Southern Railway in the building
of object lesson roads in the states OF
North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia
The director says that 1t should be dis
tinctly understood that the work of the
office Is purely educational. There is no
intention to shift the burden and respon-
sibility OF constructing improved roads
from the states and counties to the gem
eral government.
The director suggests the organization
OF two or three outfits of road building
machinery. including rock crushers
screens, rollers, road graders etc., to be
sent to the various places which have
asked for the cooperation of the depart
ment and where preparations have been
made for actual road construction.
