IN THE POLICE C0URT.
Two Liquor Cases Were Continued
 until Ta.marraw Mornins.

| E Two liquor cases which may end rather sensationally tomorrow were heard in the city court to-day by Judge Burpee. The defendant i'll each was ! John J. Sheehan Of South Main streea i He was charged with allowing James l Mc(Sowan to loiter on his premises yes- terday, and with selling him drink last Saturday. Judge Lowe defended him. l McGowan's eldest brother, Edward. was the complainant. He testified that he lives at 10S Union street and that i he saw his brother James loitering in 1 the snloon yesterday and saw him buy drink there Saturday night, He said ! he was 21 the 10th of last July. that ] his brother James has no home and that he occasions him a good deal or i trouble.
 1 James in his testimony said he all Eways thought he was 21 and Edward about 9. He said MT Sheehan asked him his age once, he thought in last
 February. He also thought he was
 born on Christmas day, but the next
 moment he said he thought St Pat rick s day was his birthday. It was
 evident that he did not know ~ age. 1 However, anyone would take him to
 be of full age.
 Judge Lowe objected to the testi-
 mpny regarding James's age, but At 1 terney Pierce claimed it on the ground
 that no matter what persons age
 may be n liquor seller allows him on
 his premises at his own peril. The
 court did not take that view of the situation and said he Would be soIry
 to see any such decisions as AIr Pierce
 claimed was In the books on that point. While James was on the stand
 Edward was prompting Mir Pierce, and
 Judge Lowe objected and everybody laughed.
 Mr Sheehan said he never sold any, thing to James and that he asked hin.
 his age last Saturday, and he said he was 21. He also testified that last February he ordered Edward out Of the saloon and never enter it again. He therefore believed this complaint was he. result of spite
 Edward was recalled to the stand and questioned regarding his age. It transpired that he filed an application with the board of safety on April %, 1902, for an appointment on the police force, and that before any such appIl. cation can be filed the applicant must Rbe g years old. McGOwan's testi- lmony, therefore. conHicted with the l statements in his application. An i'm Investigation of the latter showed that he was 9 when he filed it, though he testified that inAone part of it be stated he was 23. It also showed that he was born In 1878, which would make him 26 years of age, oT> 24 when he filed the application. He testified that he did not push his application and that
 he did not remember swearing to the statements it contained. Yet the paper shows that he swore to it on February 10, 1903, ten months after he had filed
 it. Tn view of this situation of affairs T the cases were continued to tomorrow morning, when Judge Lowe will have the application and all reports pertain ing to it before the court.
 l Just before Judge Burpee said he would continue the cases. McGowan arose to make a speech but he was told to sit down. This was the only case in court.

 CLEVELAND, o, Dec. 21 Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was brought into bankruptcy court here yesterday after noon in the bankruptcy proceedings against her, but was excused from tes- tifying because of iilnsss Whether Mrs. Chadwick will again be sum- moned will depend on counsel for Re- ceiver Nathan Loeser, whose att0r- neys are expected to take up the mat ter. Should Mrs. Chadwick again be brought into court it is unlikely that she will give any testimony. If she does it will be against the advice of her attorney, who refuses even to allow her to be sworn as witness.
 Mrs. Chadwick was brought into the courtroom by several deputy mar shals.
 Mrs. Chadwick became more nervous as the attorneys argued and seemed on the verge of fainting. Soon after the announcement was made that she was excused she returned to the jail in . carriage.
 The grand jury failed to finish it's work and adjourned.

General Wood Reports That Power
 e9 M0r0a 1h BRolk@n. E WASHINGTON Dec. 21. General Wood, commanding the department of Mindanao, Philippine division, in his annual report to the war department says that the troops Of the department have been in the deld great portion of the year QueIIins armed uprisings and preventing slave trade and kindred abuses. He says that in almost every instance actual fighting was initiated by the Moros
 - ''The conditions among the Moros throughout the department are gener- ally peaceful, says General Wood, who adds:
 ''r'he establishment of civil govern ment and the extension over them of certain laws and regulations have caused some excitement and at times serious resistance, especially the law prohibiting slavery. In some sections active hostility has been engendered by , our presence, especially in the Lake Lanao region, where almost constant murdeeous attacisa on werkingnen and soldiers were the rule until the effects of the recent expeditions to the Taraca side Of the lake, combined with expes ditions to other sections of the Lanao, were felt by the Moros. 2
 The power of the Moros of that sec. ton, he says, has been completely bro ken.
 General Wood recommends eucpur- agement of the islands local chipping interests, the use of a repeating shot gun loaded with buckshot and 45 cal iber revolver for outpost duty.

GRAND JURY REPORTS,
Was Unable to Find Crookedness in
 Lauderdale.

LduuCEuHhes
 Florence, Sept. 25.-(Special )-The Lauderdale County grand jury made it's final report to Judge Almon yesterday and adjourned after being in session three weeks.
 As already stated, they were to have adjourned last Saturday, but on account of persistent rumors that members of the grand jury had betrayed the pro- ceedings of that body and had outsid- CTS assist them in making up their re . port, Judge Almon refused to discharee e them. and Thursday read them a lecture in court and charged them to investi- gate the rumors. and if the facts war ranted. indict the offenders.
 The extent of their investigations, they did not divulge. but the report which they made completely ignored the subject. Judge Almon has not indi- cated what action, If any, he will take in the matter.
 Out of ninety-four cases considered by the grand jury. forty-one true bills were found and the rest dismissed
 In reference to the report of the State Examiner on the books of the county officials, made at the request of ten citizens, the report said: No member of the grand jury believes for a single moment that any county official has re- ceived one cent of the county's money illegally" This Is the second time this year that a special examiner has exam ined into the same transactions, with the same result, the March grand jury not only failing to indict, but com mending the officials for the condition of their books.

Dissatisfaction Expressed Over Failure to Indict Alleged Lynchers May rake This Form-Baptist Church

Advertiser Bureau,

 Selma, Sept. %. There Is much talk of Judge Daniel Partridge, Jr, empanelling a new grand fury immediately after the present term of court adjourns. and calling a special term of court for the trial of the al legged lynchers of the negro. Edward Bell. The people are very much wrought up over the failure of the grand jury to return a true bill against the alleged lynchers, and declare that if this grand jury did not have the moral courage to do its duty, then 1t is certainly the duty of Judge Partridge to order special term of court and smpannel a grand jury that is not afraid to do its duty.

Need Paid Department.

Since the fire of Friday night, when one of the leading business blocks came near being destroyed by the flames, there has been much talk of a paid fire department in Selma. The volunteer companies rendered excellent service in extinguishing the blaze, but the chief of the fire department was out of the city and neither of the assistants were present at the fire, consequently there vas much disorder and confusion in lighting the blaze.
 If the city employed a paid depart ment, they would always be on duty and ready to answer an alarm any time day or night, and would fight the firo with some system. There has been op- nosition to a paid department among members of the City Council. but 1t is thought since the narrow escape of Fri day night that these members may be induced to change their minds and vote for an appropriation to insure paid department.
