|KAVANAUGH WILL COME
 TO SETTLE THE SQUABBLE
So Far the Local Baseball Situation Has Not Been Clarifed-SOme Ancient History and Its
 Bearing on the Matter.

Yesterday afternoon report was cur rent that Mir. Semmes was to be the own- CT of the local franchise and that base ball was to be played the coming season on old grounds. It was stated that the report of the Arbitration Committee has been received in Montgomery. the report locating all games on the ball grounds of the Montgomery Street Railway at High land Park
 The story Is so entirely misleading that In justice to the public an impartial state mept of the matter will be given. To do this little back history will have to be threshed over.
 On the morning of the 18th of January In the private office of Vice-President Hart Newman of the Southern League. in the city of New Orleans certain mat ters were agreed to between Messrs. Semmes and Ragland of this city. Judge William Kavanaugh. President of the Southern League, was at the meeting. as were Messrs. Colson of the New Orleans Times-Democrat, Armstrong of The Pic ayune and myself. During that meeting Messrs. Semmes and Ragland paid their pro rata of the moneys due from the Montgomery franchise, and without the faintest scintilla of doubt or objection agreed to every proposition regarding the joint ownership of the Montgomery fran chise. They further agreed that every question that had ever been raised prior to the New Orleans conference should be disregarded and the agreement made that morning adhered to. The sole point that was disagreed on was the location of 8 park in Montgomery, and it was agreed to leave the settlement of that matter to committee of arbitration to be coIu- posed of three members to be selected from the Southern League. Mir. Semmes to select one. Mir. Ragland one, and those two to select a third. Mr. Semmes se- lected Caruthers Ewing of Memphis. MT. Ragland Newt Fischer of Nashville. A few days ago MT. Ewing announced that he had declined to serve on the arbitra- ton committee and just about that time Mir. James Palmer. President of the Nashville Baseball Club, came to Mont Gomery. Mir. Semmes writes to MT. Rag land stating that as Ewing had refused to serve on the committee he had selected MT. s. M. Dinkins of this city to serve in his place. Mir. Ragland replied that as he did not think MT. Dinkins eligible

f under the terms of the New Orleans I agreement he would decline to accept l him. MT. Semmes replied that Tn oroeI | to make MT. Dinkins eligible he had | transferred to him slOO worth of stock in the Montgomery Baseball Association; No stock company has ever been forme0
 in Montgomery and MT. Ragland VII | leave the matter of MT. Dinkinss ehgl- | bility to be decided by President kava- naugh. The substance of MT. Palmer | report to Judge Kavanaugh was given Tn Tbe Advertiser of Thursday morning to- gether with an exclusive interview with | Judge Kavanaugh. In that interview l Judge Kavanaugh said explicitly that MT. Palmer could not officially decide the | Montgomery matter and that his report could not stand. MT. kavanaugn then
 made at New Orleans would most assur- edly have to be lived up to, the interview concluding as follows:
 If Messrs. Fisher and Ewing hao agreed to act on the arbitration commit
 tee and had selected MT. Palmer as ? third party and all three had gone to Montgomery to look over the situation.
 MT. Palmers decision would have been final.
 Unless some procedure as this is taken the two gentlemen in Montgomery whose
 interests are involved must decide among
 themselves l regret Eery much that l
 could not go to Montgomery with MT. Palmer, but business affairs prevented. T fear that MT. Palmer had not un- derstood the situation in Montgomery be-
 fore he went there. for if he had he
 would not have gone without two other arbitrators"
 Judge Kavanaugh said that he had re- ceived no intimation of what Messrs. Ragland or Semmes proposed to do. and as matters now stand the question is prac- tically passed back to them with no limit on their time at present to come to an agreement.
 The local situation will not be decided
 until the full committee of three come
 situation in it's every phase. Judge Kavanaugh will, in all probability. be in
 Montgomery this morning or tonight. and he will then decide on the eligibility of MT. Dinkins as member of the arbitra- ton committee, agreed on at the New Orleans conference. Iris is full fair statement of the case, as impartial as could possibly be made to harmonize with the above facts. Squire Brown.

JURY AWARDS
 A BIG SUM Chapman Co. Wins from Power Company. JUDGMENT FOR $110,696 Litigation Over Big Dam at
 Tallassee Falls. Defending Company Was on Points of Law, But Jury Decided for
 Plaintiff-Motion for
 New Trial.

A verdict for the plaintiff for $11O, ,696 65 was rendered by the jury in the United States Court yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock in the case of William A. Chap man Co. vs. The Montgomery Water Power Co. sH
 Notice of motion for a new trial was immediately made by counsel for the de- fendant
 The verdict of yesterday afternoon is probably the largest that has ever been rendered in a court in Montgomery Coun- ty and possibly in the State of Alabama Captain J. w. 'Dimmick. who has been Clerk of the United States District Court Tor number of years. said yesterday that 1t was decidedly the largest amount ever awarded plaintiff in the court he serves and several prominent lawyers present said that in their opinion it was the biggest judgment ever rendered in Montgomery County.
 Three cases bearing the title of William A. Chapman O. vs. The Montgomery Water Power Co.,. have been tried in succession in the District Federal Court The case in it's first form was on the equity docket and was tried in early January. The result was favorable to the defendant. On the day after Judge Thomas c. Jones had ruled favorably on the defendants demurrers In the equity case. case bearing the same title was called on the law docket and for a week counsel battled skillfully in the interest of their respective clients. Again the de- fendant's case was victorious. Two weeks ago a jury was empanneled to try the damage suit of William A. Chapman Co. vs The Montgomery Wa ter Power Co. and the verdict yesterday afternoon was the result of It's delibera- tions in this case.
 The plaintiff claimed 5000 and inter- est for trespass on the part of the de- tendant on certain tools and implements of the plaintiff at Tallassee. which had been used by the plaintiff in the construc- ton of the dam at Tallassee before the contract for this work was abandoned These tools. the plaintiff alleged were appropriated to the use Of the defendant alter the contract had been abandoned ments the plaintiff averred were worth sum. approximating S5O.O00.> The remaind- CT of the amount sued for was damages The defendant averred that the tools and implements were worth but about $1.S0O and on this question of fact the case was tried.
 Experts for either side, who had ap- praised the value of the machinery were called as witnesses and the taking of testimony occupied over a week
 For three days of this week. the attor- neys argued the case. completing their arguments. late Thursday afternoon. charged the Jury and at o'clock the ju- TOTS retired.
 A few minutes before 6 o'clock the yer dict for $110,69665 was handed the Clerk by J. A. Wilson, foreman of the jury.
 The jury was boiled and each member responded That Is my verdict"
 The notice of a motion for new trial was then made. It will be heard today at 11:30 o'clock.
