ATLANTA MEN ARE HELD
THEIR RELEASE IS DENIED BY
 JUDGE sAYRE.
Scott Chestnut nnd Ed. Ellis, Alleged Gate City Gamblers, Will Ap- peal to the State Supreme
 COuPt

The habeas corpus hearing of Scott Chestnut and Ed Ellis, the alleged gamblers wanted in Atlanta, which took place yesterday morning before Judge A. D. Sayre of the Criminal Di- vision of the City Court of Montgom- cry, resulted in a denial of the writ and the remanding of the prisoners to prison.
 An appeal will be taken by Chestnut and Ellis to the Supreme Court of Ala bama, pending which Judge Sayre fixed their bonds at $250 each. The prison CTS were turned over to Chief of Po- lice Gerald and were sent to the Coun- ty jail. Up to a late hour last night they had not made bond. They said they would make bond today through friends in Birmingham.
 The alleged gamblers were arrested Thursday night by Montgomery police officers on instructions from Police Chief Ball of Atlanta. writ of ha- beas corpus granted by Judge Thomas to the men was made returnable Sat- urday morning at 10 o'clock; and, in the absence of Judge Thomas Judge A. D. Sayre was ready Co hear the case but the State asked for a continuance of the hearing until 10 o'clock Monday morning. which was granted.
 Chief Ball of Atlanta, who came to Montgomery in regard to this affair last week, was not present at yester- days hearing, but was represented by Special Officer Lockhart of Atlanta.
 Ellis and Chestnut are specifically accused of conducting a gambling es- tablishment in the Jackson Hotel, At lanta. where 1t is said a robbery was committed and they were implicated in the crime
 Governor Cunningham has honored Governor Terrelrs requisition for re- turn of the men to Atlanta.
 Lawysrs for Ellis and Chestnut contended. that the offense charged against the men was not serious enough to hold them here, and more over. that they were not in Atlanta at the time the alleged crime was com mitted.
 Scott Chestnut is well known in Alabama by his numerous eccentrici- ties. His parents live in Jefferson County and he was a student of the State University. He once made a tour of the South. featuring on Shakespeare and has figured in a number of esca- pades.

JEFFERSON TAX VALUES
nIG COUNTY SHOWS SIX MILLIONS
 -@ INCREASE.
9}fo Examiners Investigated Books and AccoWmks sof Omciais and they
 Aref Commended for Their

Qrax valuations in Jefferson County h.ve increased over six million dollars n the past year. The assessments of Jylfersons County will total about $51.- Oeo.000 which is nearly one-sixth of the tax valuation of the entire State.
 rThese figures, speaking eloquently Of the prosperity of the big county, are cQntained in a report filed yesterday With the Governor by the Examiners o& Public Accounts who have been 4&ing over the books of the officials of J2fferson County.
 sThe bookkeeping in this county is e large and extensive that the ex- animation required two of the examin- ers of public accounts. Examiner John T. German and Assistant Examin- ee c. F. Sedberry united in the work.
 On every report filed in the Gov ernor's ofice yesterday there was the endorsement of Nothing Due." except the report upon the books of Sheriff Alfdrew Burgin. There was an error iNe the Eherinrs books amounting to $H.10, an error which occurred in the cHhrging of a feed bill. The Sheriff Immediately remitted the amount to tpe state Treasurer as soon as his attention was called to the matter.
 The reports compliment the effi- cIency of Tax Commissioner B. A.
 
 success of the back tax law. It also calls attention to the harmony and unity which prevails among the tax officials of the big county. The re- port deals with the figures of the Back TGx Commissioner and says that for the year 1904 there was an increase of the assessment of tax valuations in JeKerson County of s6,302,o31. On this the State will collect s40.sss.30 taxes g for 1904 will be almost s5l ,e00, ,000 nearly one-sixth of the valuation of the entire State says the examiners report.
 The books. accounts and vouchers of Probate Judge J. P. Stiles were found to be neatly and accurately kept. Dur irg the period covered by the examina- tion 14s corporations were organized ins Jefferson County with a capital stock of $5.307,s00. From these cor poftations the State collected in fees tE425.
 The Examiners report says "A total of s1o5,529.62 was paid into the State Treasury from Jefferson County. Jef- ferson County pays one-third of the entire amount of licenses paid in the Etate."
 All other officials of the county are complimented for their neatness and emciency in transacting the business Of their offices. Although these of- Heals do more business than similar officers of any other counties of the Gtate. they had no errors and no ex- nlanations to make.
 The officials so~complimented by the Examiners were Tax Assessor J. F. Mo- Latghlin. Tax Collector J. B. Francis: CIerk of the Circuit Court, w. K. Mc- AHory; Superintendent of Education, l. ": McAdory and Clerk of the Criminal Court J. G. Bradley
