FRAME STILL ON TRIAL
JUDGE sPEAKE WILL CHARGE

Activity of Circuit Judge and Solicitor In Lynching Cases May Cause Opposition in November Election.

Huntsville, Sept. 2s.-(special)- )-The trial of George Frame, charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Horace Naples, Is still in progress In the circuit court.
 Arguments were concluded at the night session and Judge Speake will charge the jury in the morning.
 A jury was empannelled for the Nit chell arson case and more trouble than ever was experienced in finding compe- tent jurors. One hundred talesmen were examined and many of them ac- knowledged a fixed opinion or that they would not convict a member of d mob for murder.
 The activity of Judge Paul Speako and Solicitor Earle Pettus in pushing cases against the alleged lynchers and causing the indictment of many others who are charged with taking part in the lynching of Naples has developed opposition to them, according to 9 Huntsville newspaper. and their oppo- nents are seeking candidates to make the race against them in the approach ing election.

COTTON SITUATION.
Dallas News VIII Print Statistics for
 Texaa.


 Dallas. Texas. Sept. 2s.-The Calves ton-Dalias News will tomorrow publish reports from 300 correspondents at representative cotton points in Texas. Indian Territory and Oklahoma making statements of the yield realised or probably to be realized. These indi- cate the following: Yield in Texas per acre 5.2 per cent smaller than last year; Indian Territory II per cent larger: Oklahoma 16 1-2 per cent larger. Indicated production: Texas and In- dian Territory 3.OOs.s24 bales. Okla homa, 2ss,46S bales.
 Except in the most northerly DOT tions practically all the Texas crop is open. Picking has been concluded in the southernmost counties. It Is esti- mated that 45 per cent of the Texas crop has been picked; Indian Territory l6 per cent; Oklahoma, 6 per cent. Boil weevils, leaf worms and in some dis tricts dry weather prevented effective fruiting except in the most northerly districts where the frost Is postponed unusually long.
 Much of the open cotton Is of the early maturing varieties. Fears are entertained that 1t will be lost should bad weather come before pickers reach it. However conditions for picking generally continue favorable. Scarcity of labor is uniformly reported.

ITO REDUCE LICENSES
MOVEMENT TO DECREASE TAX PAID
 BY INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Alderman Kohn Introduces Resoiutis2
 to Fix Yearly License at @250, Providing Companies Re- duce the Rates.

Alderman John P. Kohn, at a special
 meeting of the City Council, held al noon yesterday, started a movement for lower insurance rates by a proposition
 to reduce the annual license of tnsur-
 ance companies doing business in Mont- gomery from $40o to s25o.
 The movement took the form of the following resolution introduced by As derman Kohn:
 whereas, The city of Montgomery Is about to spend a large sum of money in making magnificent improvements in its water works. and in its Fire De- partment, and by reason of such im- provements the citizens are to secure Ia partial relief from excessive insur- ance tax or rates. and,
 whereas, Nothing should be left un. done to secure still further reduction of the fire insurance rates or tax. and the placing of Montgomery on an ab-
 solutely first class insurance basis.
 Be 1t resolved, That the license on fire insurance companies be reduced from s400 per annum to $250 per an- mum, for each fire insurance company. provided said reduction will secure to the city of Montgomery an absolutely first class Insurance basis by the eiim@ nation of the present penalty for ex- cessive license. as the present penalty costs the citizens of Montgomery sew eral times the amount received oy the city from such licenses"
 The resolution was referred to the Committee on Finance. of which Al. derman Kohn Is Chairman. It will probably be reported favorably at the next meeting of the Council Monday evening.

 skilled.

0ktkIe0s
 New York. Sept. 2s.-At the New York navy yard today armed marines patrolled the inclosure wherein the final preparations for the launching of the battleship Connecticut arc under way.
 Naval Constructor Baxter who has general charge of the ship building plant said today:
 Tt is true that an obstruction was found on the ways down which the Connecticut Is to slide into the water. It was sufficient to check the vessel. I will not say that 1t would have wrecked the Connecticut if 1t had not been discovered and exactly what would have happened am unable to tell The obstruction was not a pile and no dyna- mite was found. It was however. noth- ing that could have dropped from the ship or come there by accident"
 An oficer of the navy declared today that whoever made the attempt did d clumsy job. "The most lax manago- ment," he said. "could not help but have discovered the obstruction and there was never any chance of the thing getting as far as a catastrophe. The scheme could not have been formed by any one familiar with navy yard meth- ods."
 Divers have gone down and inspected that portion of the ways which Is un- der water every day since Saturday. 4 thorough inspection of the whole length of the ways will be made tomorrow immediately before the launching.

 One cannot fail to admire the shapes shown here, at once SO unique and graceful and embracing up-to- -dateness and style.
 The bordering of the millinery dis play was composed of tailor made suit ings, and rugs forming quite a pleasing effect.

ALEX RICE AND SON.

The millinery opening of Alex Rice and Son was a dream of beauty
 As one ascended the stairs between huge, stately palms, the show rooms appeared in all of their fall glory. One hat seemed to surpass the one that had just been admired where hundreds of Montgomery's fashionables passed to and fro, to admire that which fashion had decreed for them.
 There was a grand display of real birds of paradise. stately plumes. gor- Reous foliage, the very stylish bead trimming and all that goes to make the hat a real beauty. There were many choice pattern hats from abroad such as Mon Virot Meels. Cotel Camille Roger, Caroline Reboux, Mime. Pouyln- ne and Mon Julia; several which were noticed as particularly attractive were a large black hat with handsome lace medallions inserted into the brim and crown and further embellished with long black plumes, known as the Girl from Rays hat
 The fashionable bead trimmings were shown in several stylish effects. One of them was a large black velvet with large beads inserted under the brlm. Another was charmingly made of terra cotto velvet with 0 huge bird of the same shade looking downward, with the beads to haTmOnlze WltH lHe NelVet and bird.
 A large white hat was especially att tracttve. It was fashioned of com bination of white silk and white che nile which is used so much this sea- son but its chief beauty was the way the points of ribbon were laid on 1t, 1t was further adorned with large white bird and a beautifully shaded rosa which lay gracefully under the brim.
 There was an artistic conception in g. rainhow hat one formed of profusioD oT ribbon. in shades of champagne and ught blue with long white plumes baneing gracefully down the back and across the side, some handsome ep- nIioue also helped to make 1t an ex- ouisite creation.
 Many handsome brown hats with shaded plumes of brown into orange were much admired. some with the naradise of the same shade, with rib hons go beautifully shaded into the hrovn and orange tints.
 There are many ready-to-wear hats oiso on display in the silk toques with lovely wings. bows and birds to make them attractive and becoming to the Another pretty little hat was feath- cred creation of brown. with orange.
