Cabot. a venerable citizen Of Brattleboro, Vt, looked into the eyes or numerous Alabama relatives and friends and shook their hands for the first time in many years In fact he saw some of his kinsmen and kinswomen for the first time in this life.
 MT. Cabot is S1 years old. Nearly twen- ty years of his life were spent at we tumpka and he recalls with great fresh ness of mind ante-bellum days In Ala hama. Although a native of vermont MT. Cabot came to Alabama in 1889, when he was IS years of age and located in We trmpka. He was energetic and active and was successful from the beginning In 1s52 he was instrumental In having his renhew Judge Cabot Lull of Wetumpka, then 15 years of age, come from vermont to wetumpka and engage with him In business. Mir. Cabot was at that time member of the prosperous and prominent mercantile firm, Houghton, Allen x Co.,, of Wetumpka.

Indeed 1t Is said he Is one of the wealth fest citizens of his State, his fortune be- ing estimated at several millions of dol lars.

MAY NOT BE REMINDED
SUIT AGAINST COUNTY TREAS
 URER COCHRAN.
Judge Jones will Probably Hear Case in Federal Court-Petition Filed Too Late For April
 Term.

The suit of the County of Montgomery against J. J. Cochran. as principal, ana the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland will not be remanded from the Federal Court to the City Court in time for trial during the April term. In fact the suit will in all proba bility be tried in the Federal Court before Judge Jones.
 It will be recalled that this suit was transferred to his court by Judge Jones of the Federal Court on the petition of the attorneys of the Maryland Fidelity and Deposit Company, who alleged that the company was the real defendant in Montgomery County against the company by reason of which they could not secure an absolutely fair trial Judge Jones made an eX parte ruling on the peutloh and transferred the case. granting the attorneys for the plaintiff the right to move that the suit be again remandeu and the right to be heard on that mo- ton.
 The attorneys for the county prepared petition in answer to the first one that had been made to Judge Jones. In this petition they denied that there was any prejudice in the community whereby the defendants could not obtain justice. The defendants had not seen fit to demand jury trial in the City Court. The plain tiff denied the statement contained in the original petition that J. J. Cochran was only a nominal defendant and claim cd that he was possessed Of at least $10.000 worth of property.
 This petition of the attorneys for the county of Montgomery was not prepared in time to be submitted to Judge Jones before he left for Birmingham to open court there. It was sent from this city to him in Birmingham. Judge Jones re- turned 1t as he did not have time to take up the matter while court was in pro- gress in Birmingham nor would he have time until after the Huntsville court had been held. He could not hear the argu- ment in the removal petitions until ne to Montgomery
 This therefore precludes the possibility of the case being remanded to the City Court in time for the April term.

ADMIRAL MERRY
STILL ON DUTY

Rear Admiral J. F. Merry. the COM
mandant of the local naval station, has
received orders from the Secretary of
the Navy to remain on duty as at pres
ent until notified to the contrary.
II is customary when an officer Is re-
tired. To take him off active duty. In
Rear Admiral Merry's case. he will
probably remain in harness until the
Pearl Harbor cases now in court are
definitely settled,
The naval commandant received or
ders on the Coptc to take up the ship
Roanokes coal on the books. The
Roanoke put in here leaking several
months ago, and with her cargo of
coal on fire. She discharged her coal
at Navy wharf No. ., and it was put
in the government sheds. AS soon as
the coal was out of her hold the Roam
oke rose sufficiently out of the water
to allow her leak to be repaired, and
sailed from here with 1000 tons OF
coal as ballast, leaving about 5000
tons in the sheds. She proceeded TO
Mare Island, where her cargo was orig
inally consigned to. Samples of the
coal Were sent to Washington for
analysis and in due course the Bureau
/ of Equipment notified the local author
| tiles that the government would accept
| the coal.
| While in future fishermen will not be
permitted to tie up at the Naval
wharves. they will be allowed to land
| their FISH there as usual, but must
take their boats elsewhere as soon As
their fish have been delivered at the
| market.

SEGREGATION OF VICE.

Since the Pan-American fair, vice has
so increased in BuffPlo that Park
hurst crusade was lately begun. First
war was made on the police, and this
led to an agreement between the Anti
Saloon League and the peace authori-
ties, Of which the following is the pub
lished text:
/. The Anti-Saloon League to with
draw its complaints against police OIL
Gals for neglect OF duty and the conn
plants against the Countess" Belle
Orloff and Mrs. -. c. Wilcox Burch
2. The right to renew any and all
of these complaints at any time being
reserved by the compliments.
BY the criminal authorities:
g. Mrs. ID. G. Wilcox and Belle Orloff
to be excluded from re-engaging I'm this
business in the city.
4. All gamb az to be suppressed.
,. Slot machines to be suppressed.
6. Street walking to be suppressed.
I. The Raines law to be enforced.
S. All vice to be confined to five
blocks In that quarter of the city now
known as the "red-light" district.
1t will be noticed that this schedule,
which Is acceptable to the Anti-Saloon
League of Buffalo, provides for the
segregation OF vice. Though not COM
monty advocated, this Is becoming the
American custom through a sort of
taCit agreement among citizens that il
is better to have vice put where the
general public will not be compelled to
Sc II, but where the police can watch
It. than to have it spread all over a
city or permitted, at will, to intrude
upon respectable neighborhoods.
