PEONAGE CASES

ALABAMA MAYORS APPEAR
Special Senate Committee Seeks Ad- vice From Them Regarding Munich pal code-erand Jury Investi-
 gating Criminal Contract Law.

Montgomery, June 10-(Special.) )-The Federal grand jury has returned number of indictments for peonage in Alabama and today four persons, against whom indictments have been found. were brought into court. Those brought in to- day were J. W. Pace. James H. Todd, George D. Cosby and B. F. Cosby Pace and Todd have before been arrested but as today, both made bond. Pace owns the plantation in Tallapoosa where 1t Is claimed most of the convicts have been worked, while Todd acts as a guard for Pace. All made bond.
 Representatives of the Alabama League of municipalities were before the special senate committee today. The committee is now engaged in framing a municipal code and the members are anXiously seek Ing advice and information from all muni- cipal sources. Before the committee to- day were Mayor Drennen of Birmingham. City Attorney Smith, Mayor Simpson of Tuscumbia, Mayor Scott of Ensley May or Cochran of Tuscaloosa and Mayor Joseph of Montgomery. Various questions pertaining to municipal government were discussed.
 There was rather a sensational turn to the proceedings of the Federal grand jury now in session here today. The grand jury in the United States court came into court and asked Judge Jones' construction of the act of the legislature known as the criminal contract law, passed at the ses- sion of 1901-'02, and If the act is in viola ton of the constitution of the United States. his is regarded as a very sig nifcant fact as to the purposes of the grand jury. If 1t goes into all the cases under this law, there will be very gen. eral and sweeping investigation, resulting in hundreds of indictments all over the state.
 The law in question is entitled an act Ito punish any person who has contract ed in writing to labor for or serve an- other for any given time, or any person who has by written contract leased or rented land from another for any speci- fled period of time, or any person who has contracted in writing with a party furnishing the land or the land teams either to furnish the labor or the labor and teams for a given time. and who be- fore the expiration of such contract and without the consent of the other party and without excuse, to be adjudged by the court to said contract. leaves such other property or abandons such con- tract, or leaves and abandons such leas- ed premises or the lands furnished as aforesaid, and shall make or offer to make a second contract with a different party without notice of the first con- tract" the penalty being on conviction a fine of not less than $50 and a sentence to hard labor not exceeding six months, one or both. at the discretion of the court
 Judge Jones took the matter under consideration. If Judge Jones finds the law unconstitutional hundreds of indict- ments may follow.

WILL SACRIFICE DESTROYER
British Navy Trying To Freak Costly
WnrShip In Two Ia Detect Weak
ness In Construction.

Naval officials have begun expert
ments TO discover why so many British
torpedo boat destroyers are broken in
two while at sea. The destroyer Wolf,
launched in 1897, and costing 81, $50, 900,
will be sacrificed in the experiments.
The destroyer was first balanced
across pile of timbers, with both ends
of the vessel unsupported II did not
break in two under this strain and was
next hung by the ends, leaving the
center unsupported. The destroyer
withstood both tests.
The experiments are expected TO
prove whether destroyer's hull is so
weak, as was suggested in the case Of
the Cobra. that the back breaks when
wave lifts the vessel amidships or a
sea lifts in such manner that the
wave is hollow beneath the middle.
The tests will be repeated. and if the
Wolf remains seaworthy it will be
taken out in rough sea for further
experiments. Vessels will stand by in
case of accident.
