Committee of Masons Issues An
 Address.

The Most worshipful Grand Lodge of Alabama, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons at it's last annual communication in Montgomery gave Its unquanned ap- proval to the proposition Tor the cree tion of a monument to the memory or the late James M Brundidge, and adopted resolution raising committee of three, composed of Past Grand Master husseli M. Cunningham, Grand Secretary George A. Beauchamp and Lew Lazarus, cnaar- man of the Finance Committee. to issue an address to the subordinate lodges or this Jurisdiction, with the end in view of raising funds .or the placing of a fitting memorial to the late J. M. Brun- didge." , ..,, authority and power to design and con- tract for the placing of the memorial when funds sufficient for the purpose shall come into It's possession; provided, that the committee has power, LII. tnes ns at the grave; but If not. simply q Dust in the Grand Lodge building.
 In its address the committee says the life work of this brother was Masonry. His love for the order. his devotion to It's principles and his zeal in its cause are known to us all: never before in the history of Alabama Masonry, ana propa,, bly, not in the future, has he had or VIII have a peer in all the characteristics or Masonic character. knowledge and pro- fesslon. To this end it is desired to erect in the Grand Lodge Hall at Montgomery a suitable monument. marble bronze bust upon suitable pedes- taI will be erected if sufficient funds are obtained. The committee suggests that at the regular meeting for the elcc- tion of officers this year, that collection be taken in all the lodges. of Alabama and that this be supplemented by such contribution out of the lodge funds as the brethren may determine"
 The appeal is accompanied by cordial and hearty endorsement of the plan from Most Worshipful Grand Master Robert J. Redden, who says, "To no other ono man does Masonry in this State, proba- bly, owe more for the great progress 1t has made within the past half a century than to the life and teachings of James M. Brundidge."

BARNEY M'G|LL|C
HAS SOME JEWELS
RECEIVERS VALUABLE GEMS STOLEN
LONG AGO, BUT THE OWNER
HAS LEFT TOWN.

Barney MeGillic is pretty good detec-
tive. He has demonstrated this fact on
more than one occasion, but never better
than by piece of work he has just done.
Last summer Mrs. Anna Fleming lady
living in the Grandon hotel, lost set OF
diamond earrings. There were two d'a,
monds in each OF the rings and were con-
sidered handsome stones. Mrs. Fleming
haunted police headquarters for a long
time in hopes that the thief who stole the
earrings would be caught but the police
were unable to apprehend the guilty party.
McGillic never forgot tie description OF
the diamonds, however Not long ago he
heard that notorious woman living in
Wyoming alley had pair of handsome
diamond earrings and he at once began an
investigation. The woman told the officer
that she had purchased the stones from
tramp, paying him $40 for them She will
ingly complied with McGillic's demand and
gave him the jewery.
Now the officer is looking for the owner.
Mrs Fleming has changed her abode since
the disappearance Of her earrings last sum
mer and If her present whereabouts can be
obtained the jewelry will be returned to
her.

Continual Abuse Alleged.
Her story was one OF continual abuse
and cruelty at the hands OF K. u. Hollis
from April, 1909, when they married IN
this city, until the latter part Of the fol-
lowing month. when she was compelled 10
flee from her husband. whom She declared
had threatened TO kill her.
From the time the couple left the altar.
Mrs. Hollis declares. her husband entered
upon a career OF dissipation. Every
night She declared, he would come home
drunk and abuse her in a most shameful
manner. During their brief married life.
she testified, he did not contribute one
cent toward her support. One specific
act of cruelty. she alleges, occurred one
night during the latter part OF May. 1909.
Mrs. Hollis was confined to her bed by
illness, when her husband came home
drunk and ordered her to get up. As she
arose he struck her with his fist. knock
ing her down, and threatened to kill her.
This Was the Climax.
This act appears TO have been the eli
max and Mrs. Hollis sought refuge with
friends. Shortly after that Hollis packed
up his traps and fed, he being now a
resident of Honolulu.
No children came from the union. The
prayer Of the woman for an absolute di-
vorcc and the restoration of her maiden
name, Hannah Louise Johns, was granted
by Judge Clancy.
II was in Judge iarneys department OF
the district court that the other woman told
her story. Her name is Ruth r.. Grossly
and she sought a divorce on the ground OF
cruelty sustained during number OF years
at the hands OF ]. {. Grossly, who had
promised some IS years ago TO love and
cherish her.
OF Long Duration.
The troubles of the couple date back
several years. The husband it appears,
was OF jealous disposition and frequently
accused his spouse OF unfaithiulncss, Final
ly they separated, but matters went along
about the same. There was trouble over
the children and in regard 10 their main
tcnance. The agreement was that the wife
should have the custody OF their ohsprings
seven in number the eldest being IA
years old that she should occupy the tam
lily residence and be allowed $a5 a month
Tor support Of the children.
Recently the wife decided to free herself
entirely IRON her spouse and SUIT tor di-
yorce was filed.
The substance OF the womau's story as
related was told in Judge Harney's court
| this morning, and Mrs. Crossly's prayer

| alimony and $50 counsel tees was granted
