ANTI-SPITTING LAW
 WILL BE ENFORCED
PERSONS ExPEcToRATlNo ON FLOOR OF UNION PASSENGER STATION WILL HAVE TO PAY A FINE IF CAUGHT-ARREST

Thou shall not spit on the floor of the union passenger station of Birmingham" Thus the law has been laid down and he who transgresses is more than apt to find his way to the city jail via Police men Oldham, Bryant or Special Officer Nelson and the patrol wagon.
 When in jail a bond Is allowed if the prisoner Is able to make it. but he is scheduled to face Judge Feagin the fol- lowing morning and pay anywhere from $1 to $5, according to the enormity of the offense.
 The law preventing splitting in public places has been in effect for many long months, but at the depot 1t has been en- forced in spasms and this is one of the times. Station Master Meglemry yes- terday issued orders to the station po- licemen that they should arrest every one who violated this ordinance and the officers started at once obeying instrue- tions. They corralled four men, one white and three negroes yesterday and they will be lined up before Judge Fea- gin.
 One of the cases was rather pathetic. One of the negroes had a ticket for An nlston in his pocket and with it some cash. He was arrested and had to re- main in jail over night, losing his ticket. job was awaiting him in Anniston.

case the lowest estimate places the dura- tion of the arguments at four days.
 There were very few present at the court room yesterday, as the spectators never begin to come in until 10 or Il o'clock and 1t was just about that time that court adjourned.
 When Steve W. Askew was called by the defendant he testified that he was standing near the corner of the counter where the hotel register is kept, and saw the men fighting that he saw Clifford throw Havis away and saw Lathem and Wise struggle toward the toilet roomi that Lathem had pistol in his right hand; that Lathem broke loose from Wise and drew a pistol on him; that Havis said Don't shoot that man." that Lathem then turned his pistol on Havis, saying D you, I'll shoot you" and that Havis then fired.
 On cross-examination the witness said he was not working at that time and was living in Avondale; that he came form Avondale that morning, went to the union station. came back to Parker drug store and from there went to the Morris hotel; that he had only been at the counter few seconds when his at tention was attracted by scuffling and loud talking; that he told Wise's bar keeper on the day of the killing that he had seen the fight.
 The witness was examined in detail as to the movements and positions of the men during the fight. and the effort was made to show that his testimony at the Havis trial did not corroborate in detail that given in the present trial.

JUROR BECOMES ILL AND
 WISE CASE IS POSTPONED

Yesterday morning Juryman J. L. Bull lock who is sitting on the jury to try William Wise in the criminal court be- came suddenly i'll and court was adjourn ed until afternoon. When time came for converting court at o'clock MT. Bullock was not yet able to go in the box. and court was adjourned until this morning at 9:9O o'clock.
 He was feeling better last night, and it is thought he will be able to continue his duties as juryman this morning. He asked permission to retire yesterday just after Witness Askew had left the stand, and immediately he was taken with nau- sea. Later he had slight chill and felt very sick at the stomach Dr. W. P. McAdory assistant county physician, was called and waited upon Mir. Bullock.
 On account of this unavoidable inei- dent there was but one witness S. w. As kew placed on the stand during the day in the Wise case. He was called by the defendant and severely cross-examined by the state. His testimony was thought to be of great importance because he claimed that he was standing at the cor ner of the register counter at the Morris hotel at the time of the killing and that both the fight and the shooting were in plain view. He described the incidents in great detail.
 It is pretty generally felt that the de- fendant will close his case today, and al- ready speculation is going on as to how much time will be taken up by the ar guments of the counsel. If three speak from each side as they did in the Havis

Imagining that some newspapers are prosecuting him and that every issue of the Birmingham paper is an insult to him, w. G. German is in the city jail with a strange Authorization. Physicians have examined him and they believe that hls mind is temporarily unbalanced and that 1t is brought about by some attack made on him by the newspapers in some other part of the country
 MT. German is well educated and man of fine appearance. He was boarding at a private residence on Fifth avenue near Twenty-second street and was we'll thought of there until this strange dread of the papers attacked him.
 He became so violent that Policemen Byars and Nix went to the house Monday night and carried him to the city jail, where he is held on charge of disorder ly conduct until his friends or relatives can be heard from.

 pr. Phillips report of the enrolment for the month of October shows total of 57oO, which is greatly in excess Of the number enrolled in the same month last year. He has been compelled to reJect 300 applications for matriculation this year on account of the lack of room, espe- cially in the high school.

PRISONER BELIEVES THE
 PAPERS PERSECUTE HlM

German was formerly clerk of the court in Lawton, Oklahoma, and he has brother who is connected prominently with the St. Louis exposition. Chief Wier has telegraphed several places and expects an answer today from relatives or friends
 The man is well supplied with money. He had $6O in cash in his pocket when ar rested and a draft for $200. He seems sane except when a newspaper is shown him, then he talks violently and begs to be freed from the press.
 In one of the papers yesterday there was an article concerning Senator Cor man, who will probably be the democratic nominee for President, and the man in jail imagined that it was another attack on him. He begged pitifully and said 1t was a shame to treat him that way and that 1t was not right to be mistreated in that way by the papers.

A prominent judge declares that the majority of divorees can be directly traced to disease.

 BuiIt-Appointments
CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK

The Methodist ministers of Birmingham district are preparing for the North Ala bama conference, which will be held at Tuscumbia from Wednesday, November 25, to Monday, December 90.

 Three churches have been remodeled and enlarged, five parsonages have been built and six homes have been contribut- ed for superannuated preachers.
 The increase of value in church prop crease in the support of the ministry is $S00O.
 Church Property More Valuable.
 The increase in membership for the district is in the neighborhood of 250O. Of this number 1000 have been added this been expended on church buildings and parsonages.
 MT. Simpson is highly satisfied with the report he will make.
 It is understood that pr. G. w. Riddick is slated to fill the vacancy at the First Methodist Episcopal church in Birming- ham, made by Dr. MeFerrn being trans- ferred to Nashville, and it is expected that tho Rev. J. H. Mccoy will be appointed pastor of the new church at Five Points.

an opportunity to save the team. Be
fore the crowd realized it, he gave the
ball q solid whack which sent it flying
to the fence, and the crowd rose to
their feet with a tremendous howl of
delight as Vanatta, Plunkett and Reu-
ter came tearing across the place and
Kekuewa fell on the third base. The
H. A C.'s seemed rather dazed and
the crowd settled down for some fun.
1t was now or never for the Rams and
they realized it. Kold was safe for a
base, and Richards followed with an
other base hit which brought D. ke-
kuewa home. Sheldon went out on a
fly and the finish was in sight. Lemon
was the last hope and he soon had two
strikes called against him. The smile
of victory was on joys countenance,

Everything went by contraries at the
baseball game yesterday afternoon.
Although the Elks beat the Males Z
to 2. the latter team put up a good
fight especially in the first part of the
game. Their men played well together
and there was only one weak place in
the team and that was at third base.
In the second game the II. A. c. team
apparently had a little bit of a walk
over and the Kamehameha team play
ed all but the last inning far from
crowd grew tired of watching the
game which, taking out the last inning,
was not as good as the first game, and
many went home before the end. Those
that did missed the best playing of
the day. and those that stayed saw
from what looked like certain defeat
and snatch a victory from the already
exulting H. A. C. team.
In regard to the grand stand and
field there has been some loud COM
ment The benches yesterday were
covered with dust which is rather in
furious to ladies' dresses, and it was
noticed that numbers of people
brought lap robes and other articles
to spread over the seats. Another
thing is the large amount of dust
which blows from the out field and
nearly blinds the spectators. OF course
next year the outfield will be sodded
but in the meantime it seems as If 1T
might be sprinkled Immediately before
the game, and also during the prog
ress of the play outside the lines.
Now they begin to water the ground
with small hose after the game is
half over and the spectators covered
with dust.
