MIR. LANE IS HOPEFUL
WORKING TO SECURE ALABAMA
 EXHIBIT FOR ST. LOUIS
Head Officer of the Movement Comes to Montgomery to Arouse Interest-Talks of His
 Plans.

Charles P. Lane, President and Mama ger of the Alabama Worlds Fair Exhibit Association. which was organized Novem- Der 1 in Birmingham reached Montgom- cry last night. He is very hopeful of rais- ing a fund for State exhibit.
 In an interview MT. Lane said:
 "I am encouraged by the outlook so far as have gone. l am told by reliable. in- huential citizens of Jackson County that could rely upon receiving the largest, finest oak and hickory log in the world from Jackson County and lump of coal that would compare favorably with any tho world could produce; that a liberal contribution would also be given to the State fund from Jackson. Morgan Coun- ty also promises to do it's full duty.
 My plan," continued Mir. Lane. ito raise the general fund for State building and expense account is to write a per sonal letter to every bank in the State also to every wholesale dealer in grocer ies, liquor and dry goods, asking them to aid the general fund. I will then appoint committee in each municipality to so- licit subscription from the counties and cities, the private corporations and public spirited citizens. I will then go in person and see that these committees work.
 Madison County will maintain its rep utation for progress. Our cotton mills. nine fin number. will see that a handsome textile exhibit is made. and both the County of Madison and city of Hunts vile will do the liberal thing.
 ''I have come to Montgomery believing that the progressive citizenship of the famous capital city and County will do the full measure of their duty-will set an example. It will be up to them tomor- row. I will add that all contributions must be sent direst to President Barr of the First National Bank of Birmingham whom I have appointed Treasurer of the fund and who will keep an accurate ac- count of every contribution and expend- iture.
 q desire to add that every precaution will be taken to guard this fund, and that the most economical conduct of the ex- pense account will be maintained and ev- cry dollar accounted for"

1t is said that when the volgamott

few days ago Mr.. Aiken came to
this city and swore out warrant in
Justice Snyder's court for the arrest
of Hutton, charging the latter with
having committed felonious assault
upon Sallie Aiken. the 20-year-old
daughter of the complainant.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of Deputy Sheriffs Caldwell and

Hutton Wednesday aud placed him
under arrest. Hutton was immediately
brought to this city and lodged in
jail. where he will await prelimin-
airy trial before Justice Snyder
The offense is alleged to have been
committed on February 26, 1908. but
it appears that the father of the girl
only recently became aware of the
occurrence. All the parties III the
affair are well-known in the commun.
ity in which they live. and the arrest
of Hutton on so serious charge has
caused decided sensation on that
neigbborhood. Hutton is married,
and is said to have borne goou rem.
utation.
Owing to the fact that no with sses
have as yet been summoned no date
for the preliminary trial has beer
fixed, but it is supposed that the hear
ing will occur either Saturday or Mon
