FOR FALSE ARREST
l.. A. BENNIE GETS DAMAGES FROM
 A. A. GAMBLE.
Bonnie Was Arrested in Birmingham for Speculating In Theatre Tickets-He Gets $1,OOO
 Damages.

The verdict of the Birmingham City Court, which gave l.. A. Bennie. humane officer of the city of Birmingham. a judgment for $1000 in a suit against A. A. Gamble. city license and tax col lector, for alleged false Imprisonment and assault and battery, was affirmed yesterday morning by the State Supreme Court
 Officer Bennie was arrested last year by License Collector Gamble on the charge of speculating on theatre tickets to the Richard Mansfield per- formance at the Jefferson Theatre in Birmingham. Officer Bennie claims also that he was roughly used in the arrest. He was placed in the city pressed by Judge Feagin of the Police Court. Collector Gamble was given police authority by the Police Commis- sion of Birmingham.
 Officer Bennie brought suit against Collector Gamble for alleged false inn prisonment, it being shown that the latter had procured no warrant in ar resting the plaintiff for a misdemeanor offense committed not in the presence of the defendant.
 The appeal of Collector Gamble's counsel was made to secure a diminu- ton in tho assessment of damages. The lower court, however, was affirmed throughout in the opinion which was written by Chief Justice Mcclellan. Colonel w. H. Denson and M. M. Ull- man, of Birmingham, appeared for the plaintiff and Colonel J. J. Altman, of Birmingham, for the defendant

PAY TAXES TODAY.
Interest Will be Charged After Today
 on Taxes.

Today is the last day in which Mont gomery taxpayers may pay their city taxes without also paying interest on the amount. Not until after December 3l will city taxes be delinquent at the office of the City Treasurer, but after today, interest will begin to accumulate on the amount of money due for taxes.
 City taxes were due November and great number of citizens have already paid their dues, especially in the last few days the rush of tax payers to avoid paying interest have almost over run the City Treasurer's office. All taxes not paid by April l will be sub ject to action in the courts and 1t Is probable that the usual large number of such tax accounts will be taken to law for settlement.
 yesterday that the taxes were coming in fast and that he thought the com paritive showing with this time of other years would be indeed favorable. He said he could not tell the exact amount that had been received in his office for taxes, but believed it was greater than the amount received up to this time last year. A number of new licenses issued during the past year have also contributed to swell the total revenue derived by the city from this source and the accounts when com pleted are expected to be gratifying to the city officials of the administration.

The work during the season of 1904 has been much increased as result of the special appropriation maoe available in January of this year. The
 
 lowed out are field experiments III methods of control, and laboratory ana field investigations of life history hao- its. and parasitic and predaceous ene- mics of the insect. The field experl-
 ments have demonstrated that the cui- tural system of control recommended
 for the boil weevil furnishes the very | best means also against the bollworm. The value of spraying and dusting with arsenical poisons and of trap crops was made the subject of careful experl- ments. This work was done on SIX contract farms over which the Depart
 ment had absolute control, as in the case of the boil weevil. representing
 different localities and climatic and soil conditions. Comparative work was also done at a number of other points giving a total of some 400 acres on which experimental and demonstration | work was carried on. The work out | lined above has been most successful
 and the Department Is now able to re-
 commend measures which will reduce damage from the boil worm to an in
 considerable amount.
