MANY ARE CAUGHT
 IN TWO CRAP GAMES
Young Men Rolling Bones in Band Stand at Lakeview We're Slippe3
 Upon by Policemen.

Two alleged crap games were caught yesterday by the police. In one of them nine young white men were arrested and placed under bond on a charge of violat- ing the Sunday law. and In the other eleven white men were placed under bond for the same offense.
 The first game caught was in the band stand at Lakeview. Here nine young men were engaged in rolling the bones when Policeman Todd walked up on them and placed them under arrest. The boys attempted to throw the craps into the lake. but they did not go far enough and were recovered by the policeman.
 Policeman Todd slipped up on the boys by removing his coat, which had the brass buttons and his badge on, and when he reached the band stand no one sus- pected he was other than a citizen wish ing to look on.
 The other game was in a room in the Bell Telephone building, where eleven men were caught The raid was made about 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning by Detectives Bodeker Hamilton, Patton and Policeman Disheroon.
 The room is on the first floor in the rear of the building and the police claim that they caught the men playing. The cases will be tried this morning before Judge Feagin.

NEGRO IS BEATEN
 AND THEN ROBBED
LEE SWANSON, A NEGRO, CLAIMS THREE NEGROES CARRIED HIM INTO WOODS AND ROBBED HIM. THEY ARE ARRESTED.

Three negroes were arrested last night by Policemen Baker and Elledge on a charge of highway robbery. They are accused of taking Lee Swanson, another negro, into the woods and after beating him almost into inconsistencies, robbed him of all the money he had, which was 60 cents.
 The trouble Is the sequel of a theft which Is said to have happened on the Fourth of July. A fifth negro was rob bed on that day, and the three negroes who were arrested last night claim that Swanson did the robbing He denied 1t.
 Last night they carried him into the woods below West End and there beat him badly with sticks. He Is in a seri- ous condition. They forced a confes- sion from him that he robbed the negro on the Fourth and he Is said to have told them how he did 1t. Later he told the po- lice that he made up the confession so the negroes would stop beating him. He says that after beating him they de- manded his money and took the 60 cents from him. The three negroes confessed to taking Swanson out and beating him.

SUNDAY MASSES
 WELL ATTENDED
MUERER's IMPRESSIVE SERMON AT OUR LADY OF SOR- ROWS "A SOLEMN REQUIEM MASS AT ST. PAuL's TODAY.

Large congregations as usual attended the masses at St. Paurs yesterday.
 This morning at o'clock a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated at St. Paurs for the repose of the soul of the ereign ponttff, Leo XIII. Pews wills be reserved for the Italian society, the Knights of Columbus and other organiza- tions.
 Yesterday three masses were said at the church of Our Lady of Sorrows. The first was at o'clock and the pastor, Father James A. Meurer, was celebrant.
 An extra mass was said at o'clock by Father Basil Marcha, a Syrian priest who is giving missions in this country un- der the bishops of Cleveland. Ohio.
 Quite a number of Father Marsha's countrymen took advantage of his visit, as they were able to confess in their na- tive tongue.
 The 10 o'clock mass was said by Father Meurer, who delivered an impressive ser mon on the 16th chapter of St. Luke 1st to 9th verse.
 Father Meurer spoke of the parable of the rich man who hearing that his stew ard was wasting his goods called him to give an account of his actions.
 Father Meurer then spoke on Render An Account of Thy Stewardship" say ing in substance:
 Tt is well for us to understand that we have a responsibility to God. for we must give an account of our stewardship on earth. whether we have labored to be- come true children of Christ or not
 Why should we expect so much mercy of God, after we have abandoned God s graces to work out our salvation,
 Reaching heaven is so uncertain, while death is so sure. and how many of you are ready to render an account of your selves7
 We cannot tell when death Is to come. Probably tomorrow we may drop on the street hence the necessity of being pre- pared.
 Tn order to render a good account of ourselves we should make daily examina- tions of our conscience.
 When death separates the soul from the body the soul goes to God immediate ly. Let us picture ourselves before God, who has a record of what is against us The beauty of Heaven Is on one side while the demons are eagerly watching to drag us into the punishment we have de- served.
 We should use the graces God has given us while on earth, then we will be ready to give an account of ourselves. and enjoy everlasting happiness in Heaven.
 The Rev Father O'Donnell said mass at Gadsden. yesterday.

ROYALTY ENTERTAINED D

After travelling nearly four thousand miles since the 14th of this month, 1SO members of the Alabama Press assoeia- tion returned to Birmingham yesterday afternoon on a special train. They have been on the annual outing of the asso- citation, and all state 1t was the most enjoyable of all the excursions.
 The party has been to Canada. It stopped two days In Chicago on the re-. turn trip. The exeursionists left Chica- go Saturday night and arrived. nearly three hours late, in Nashville yesterday. but were there furnished with a special train and made a record run to Birming- ham. The train made up two hours and half, arriving in time for the members of the association from South Alabama to catch the train in that direction.
 Gold Watch for Rountree.
 At Chicago the members of the asso- citation presented J. A. Rountree. secre- tary and outing manager, with a hand some gold watch. The speech of pre- sentation was made by Judge s. L. Fuller of Cullman. A gold watch fob was presented to General Advertising Agent H. R. Carlton and one to Dis- trict Passenger Agent D. Mcsmith of the Grand Trunk line, who accompanied the party on it's entire trip.
 The party left Birmingham at noon on the 14th and went directly to Toronto where the members were entertained by the city. The next day was spent in Montreal, where an elegant champagne supper was served. The entert ainnent there was most elaborate and was con sidered the best ever rendered the mem bers of the association on any of the trips.
 Quebec was next visited and there a luncheon and dance were rendered the visitors. Niagara Falls was the next place on the route, and a day was spent there. The trip was made by boat

 The special train in which the party has been travelling consisted of four sleepers, baggage car and a dining car. Last night J. A. Rountree said of the trip:
 Most Enjoyable.
 T think 1t was the most enjoyable we have ever taken. From the time we left Birmingham until we returned it was a round of gayety. and every thing In the world was done for our pleasure and convenience, I do not think that there was man, woman or child on the train who did not have the time of their lives, and we were certainly grateful to the people of the cities we visited for their hospitality.
 'At all the places we stopped we were met by delegations of the leading citi- zens and they spared neither time nor money in showing us their cities. At several places there were addresses of welcome. and responses from the mem- bers of the association. think we made a great impression on the people of the cities we visited, and that we thor oughly advertised Alabama and Birming- ham"

WESTERN MEN INFERIOR.
President Eliot. of Harvard Unfver-
sity. Declares That Eaxternerx
Accomplish More.

President Eliot, of Harvard. In the
course of an address at Boston the
other day made the surprising declar-
alton: Eastern men seem to get
things done and accomplish their pur-
poses quicker than western men.
The difference between eastern and
western men. notice, is that east
ern men bottle up their enthusiasm.
while western men let it pop out.
Enthusiasm is natural steam. Tt
doesn't become effective unless it is
confined. 1t must be confined in the
cylinder and not let out except to do
work. -
President Eliot advocates elirainat-
ing the small and including the first
two years of the college course in
the curriculum of the high school.
He also advocates six years high
school course in order to take In part
of the college curriculum with the
remaining two years taken into the
university, which should stand for
higher education. He also recon-
mends that two years be taken from
the grammar school course to admit
of the six years high school course.
The b A. degree would be abolished
or made an entrance degree for the
university The system would also
put the technical school on a univer-
sity instead OF q college basis.
