MIGRANTS MUST co CHIEF GERALD ISSUES ORDER
 TO POLICE. Patrolmen Are to Make Notes of Con- duct of Idlers For Use As Evi- dence-Arrests Are to
 Follow.

The Montgomery police department has taken steps to enforce the new vagrancy law.
 An order has been issued to day and night patrolmen by Police Chief A. s. Gerald, directing them to secure evidence against all persons who are believed to come within the provisions of the new vagrancy act
 This order of the police chief was read to the patrolmen at roll call yesterday morning and again yesterday evening.
 Tt must be understood" said Police Captain w. H. Taylor, discussing the va grancy act yesterday evening that the actions of these people prior to the oper- ation of this law is not legitimate testi- mony. They must have violated the law since last Monday. We cannot arrest peo- pie without evidence and the nature of this law is such as to make 1t more essen- tial to have testimony. We know, for example, of men and women who were vagrants according to the provisions of this act before 1t became effective, but we must ascertain If they have contin- ued their habits and customs since the law went into operation.
 Each patrolman has been provided with a memoranda book and a pencil. He Is instructed to observe and make in- quiries concerning persons on his beat who are believed to be violators of the law. When the evidence is in hand ar rests will follow
 Captain Taylor said that 1t had been found necessary to arrange with Sheriff Waller to care for many of the viola tors of the law at the county jail. The city prison is not large enough to ac- commodate all of the prisoners expected.

 MT. Giltner is a member of the firm of Glitner Bros, among the largest cattle ralsers in the South. He recognizes that under the present conditions there is practically no demand for superior stock m this section of the country and is VI. tally interested in the work The cattle industry means to the Southern farmer d. versihcation of farms, an improvement of the soi' and home consumption of food products made on the farm by raising beef cattle and other stock. The farmer becomes a manufacturer of the finished product, instead of vendor of raw ma ! terial.''
 Dr. Carey is anxious that Alabama farmers visit the Auburn statioon during the progress of inoculation. The cattle will be sold at Auburn on February 8 1904.

HARRIS BRIBERY TRIAL.

Defense Attempts to 1mpeach Lees
 Testimony.
 Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 5-The evil dence was completed to-day in the Ferris bribery trial. and arguments will be made tomorrow.
 The feature of the trial to-day was the reading of letters sent by former Lieu tenant Governor John Lee to D. J. Kel- ly. Only one of these seemed to have much direct bearing on the case. and this was one where he said he had drawn out SOOO from she bank March 19, 1901, and sent 1t to Kelly This was the date when Lee said he drew $7,OO0 and paid 1t to Senator Farris.
 Lee denied writing the letter, but the defense had 1t identified by Paying Tel Ter Hetten of the American Exchange Bank St, Louis, as being in Lees hand writing. The defense introduced several witnesses in an endeavor to impeach Lees testimony on a number of points. It is believed the defense to-day weak ened the case made by the State yester- day.
