CHICKEN LAW IS DOOMED

Selma June 14.-(Special. )-The Selma city council met last night and among other matters of interest that came up besides electing the police force for the ensuing term was the authorizing of the purchase of a rock crusher for the pur- pose of paving with tar and gravel Wash ington and Franklin streets between Ala bama and Water The crusher will be sent on trial and if satisfactory will be kept at cost of about $120O. The council also instructed the ordinance committee to bring in a measure prohibiting the digging up of these streets for any pur- pose within the space of three years, abutting property owners to be notified that they must make sewerage, gas and waste connection before the street was repaired
 Another thing decided upon by the coun- ell which has caused considerable com ment was the determination to erect a house for the city's machinery and tools at the foot of Church street on the river bank Some months ago a private clti- zen was granted the right to erect stables on this spot but upon objections being raised by abutting property owners the grant was revoked and 1t Is pointed out as being entirely inconsistent for the city to attempt to do what 1t prohibited a citizen from doing. Already there are talks of injunctlons should the city att tempt to erect the building.

MUST OBSERVE LAW.
Hogs In Phenlx City Can No Lonoer
 Walk Streets In Freedom.

Phenix City, June Especial. )-In the words of the Pnenix City council. "after the 18th day of July, 1904, 1t shall be un- lawful for any hog to run on the streets of Phenix City. The marshal shall have the power to pound the hog and the cost for the owner to obtain it shall be 30 cents and 25 cents additional for each day it is kept in the pound"
 This ordinance was adopted by council last night, after a long and earnest discussion. There are thousands of hogs in the town, and strong faction is in favor of giving them all the reasonable privileges( in fact a popular election last year to remove hogs from the streets re- suited in a signal victory for the friends of the grunters) and today the town has been ir a stir over the anti-pork legisla- tion
 The question of keeping hogs off the streets has been a live issue here for years. This city has a population of over COCO and council at last took the matter into it's own hands and enacted the above ordinance.
 Peaceable and law abiding hogs will be requested to scrupulously observe this or dinance, and the others will be forced to do so.

fit of others, should be modified or re- pealed.
 We demand that all departments of government recognize and act upon the doctrine that the constitution follows the flag in Porto Rico and in the Philippine islands, or else that they are free and in- dependent, so that the true glory of our country shall not be tarnished by the ex- ercise of the despotic power of denying to a helpless people a republican form of government
 We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. We point to the growth of trusts and monopolies as one of the evil results of the ascendancy of the republican party at Washington.
 'If the people do not speedily dominate, regulate and control the trusts, the trusts will permanently dominate and control the government, and continue indefinitely to levy exactions upon the people. The delegates chosen by this convention to the democratic national convention are hereby instructed to vote as a unit on all questions, provided that the unit rule may be suspended by majority vote of the delegates"

FIGHT ON IN ARKAN SAs.
Parker and Hearst Men Are Both
 Claiming the Victory.

Hot Springs, Ark. June H-The demo- cratic state convention assembled here today to nominate full state ticket and select delegates to the St. Louis nation ai convention. The proceedings were pre- liminary, but It developed considerable interest over the selection of a resolutions committees. as this was sought by each of the dominant factions in the conven- ton. As the committee stands, It Is considered to be largely composed of sup porters of United States Senator James r. Clarke and Governor Jeff Davis, who are both known to be personally against the selection of United States Senator James H. Perry for the nomination as one of the big four.
 The contests which has developed be- tween Senator Clarke and Governor Davis on the forces of Berry will probably be enc of the chief items of interest in the convention. The contest for control of the convention by the Hearst and Parker clements will be spirited and the ultimate decision of the convention Is in Goubt, with tho chances strongly favor ing Judge Parker. The selection of state ticket Is purely routine as the various candidates have already been named in primary elections held through out the state.

Declared Null and Void.

In the mayors court this morning was called the case wherein l.. Bamberger, business manager of the Selma Times, had been arrested charged with violating the celebrated chicken ordinance. City At torney Shafer stated to the mayor that he had examined the records and that not two-thirds of the councilmen of Selma had voted to pass the ordinance over the veto of the mayor, as required by the charter, and he therefore moved to nolle prosse the case.
 Hon. H. F. Reese who was representing MT. Bamberger, however, declared that nothing but an aequittal on the grounds that the ordinance was null and void would be satisfactory He showed In elo- quent tones that the chicken was a noble bird declaring that the democratic party had recognized this when 1t made one of it's tribe the emblem to be used on the ticket to be voted for in November. The mayor held with MT. Reese and dis charged the prisoner at the bar" the ordinance being declared null and void, and the police department being notified accordingly.

 The evidence of eye witnesses seems to be that Jost was acting entirely in self-defense. It seems that Jenkins had been looking for trouble and was making threats of various kinds about cutting off somebody's head and play ing football with it.
