THE PERJURY CASES.
Both Sides Confident that Question
 Will go to Supreme Court.

It is the opinion of a large number of lawyers. that the demurrer to the complaint in the cases against Marsh and Vandemark for perjury will be Overruled and the accused will conse- quently be tried. Attorney Kennedy, however, is not of that opinion, and says Judge Wheeler is as good law yer as any in the city and better than some.o The question to be settled has been decided both ways. The defense claim that the accused cannot again be tried on any charge on the evidence that has been already litigated and de- termined, and both MT ONeill and MT Kennedy quoted decisions by the score on that point On the other hand, MT Williams for the state quoted also de- cisions by the score. supporting 4AAs point. Both sides are confident that the question will have to go to the su- preme court forSfnal decision, anyway Judge Wheeler preferring to have that court decide it. All lDe lawyers, now ever. say it is a very fine point that Judge Wheeler has been called upon to decide, and in view of the importance and furore that has attached to the eases from the outset the decision oy the supreme court will be awaited with a great deal of speculation by the local bar.
 In case Judge Wheeler rules against the defense, the trial will not De stopped until the supreme court de- cides the point. The case will go on and exceptions by the score will be taken and the whole matter will then 90 to the supreme court, in case the jury gives verdict against the ac- cused. If the jury decides for the ac- cused, of course there will be nothing for the supreme court to try, the ac- quittal of the accused being the main point involved.
 It is expected that the case will not begin until late in the week, in case Judge Wheeler overrules the demurrer.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Davenport of Bridgeport Made An-
 other Attack on it Saturday
(Snectal to Democrat )

Washington, March 1.-The house committee on labor resumed hearings on the eight hour bill last Saturday, and the principal speaker was Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport, who occu- pied an hour and q half with his ar guments against the passage Of the bill. MT Davenport started on an en- tirely new line. of argument and showed that this eight hour law pro position was originated by the social ists. He proved this statement by showing the constitution of the social lists and their various propaganda. His statements proved a great sur prise to the committee as we'll as to the labor men present. MT Daven- port also reiterated his statement that nine-tenths of the. ldboring men were opposed to the passage of this billy as shown by actual investfga Hon.
 This is probably the last public hearing the committee will hold. MT Davenport has Appeared at three of thasa, 4nd has presented the case of the nlanufa cturers as it has never been presented before He has made splendid impression and if any bill

ANOTHER PROTEST
Correspondent Who Thinks Trolley '. Has Enough Already.

Waterbury, Conn. March 8, 1904. Editor of Democrat:
 I agree with you with the stand that you have taken in regard to the trolley company owning the city with out paying anything for it. l think we should not be too nasty in this trolley business and not do anything that we will be sorry for after. Look twice before jumping once lest you might land where you don't want to. I think they have enough of the streets of the city without any more, and don't pay cent for it. I think the taxpayers of this city should or ganize for protection. There is more company than We people that are on the grand list know anything. about and if We get together. we can show it up. Come now, MT Editor, whoop Ter up and let's get together and see where we're at.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit oH - is a matter attained by un- daunted persistence in matters of quality and littleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- 1t proposition ever offered to the pub- lic by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go.
 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into a store, lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of a proposition, mere transaction. To have credft given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to 1t. What great honor it is to be able to enter as store, select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What great dignity there IS to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes its existence to this great comodity. To buy Tor cash, then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always a distinction that ona should be proud of. U

Floods at York. Pa.

YORK, Pa, March 7.-Flood condi- dons along the York county shore of the susquehanna river are at present rather uncertain. The ice is being held by Hartmans island, near New Holland, but it is expected to start at any minute, and if it does great dam age is expected. For miles towering gorges present a magnificent spectacle, and here and there is devastation and ruin. Shelly island, near Goldsboro, is partly submerged, and or it are John and George Burger, their mother, their wives and eight children. The gov ernor has sent state officials to the scene in an effort to remove the fami- lies from their perilous position.

Was Treated Royalty.

Harry says he was treated royalty at
the old college town, and he is willing to
bet his cigar allowance for a day that
they will beat the University of Alabama
In the series of three games. He says the
boys are small but as fast as lightning
and can hit the ball on the coco at any
stage of the game.
Manager OBrien had the Birmingham
team out for a hard practice yesterday
morning and afternoon. and they are
rapidly rounding into condition. They are
anxious to beat New York just one time
before the visitors begin their journey
north, and if spirit can do 1t they will sue
seed.
Hopkins and Triton will probably go in
for the Barons today, though 1t has not
been definitely decided. New York will
work McGinnity and probably Wiltse.
The game will be called promptly at 8
o'clock, and at the request of the public
the baseball management announces that
no passes whatever will be honored. Even
newspaper men who never looked In the
box office in their lives have expressed a
willingness to put up 80 cents to see the
game All such half dollars will be kept
by Secretary Jackson and framed for
relics.

DEADHEADS IN TROUBLE
OVER THE PASS QUESTION

One bright young deadhead conceived
the idea of getting hold of a 500 bill Of
some other mans money and presenting
it at the gate for a ticket, believing that
the box office would be unable to change
it. Secretary Jackson was apprised Of
this fact and he Is laying for Just such a
caller.
The baseball management has purchas-
ed an elegant case bound in morocco in
which will be placed all half dollars put
up by newspaper men Those half dol
lars will be forwarded to st. Louis and
will be on exhibition alongside of Vulcan
at the exposition. The New York news
paper men IN town have asked for pic
lures of this remarkable collection and
will write numerous Sunday stories on
the subject for the metropolitan sheets
of the yellow variety or any other color.
The names of all deadheads who put up
Will be secured by the ticket takers and
Mayor Drennen will have them presented
to the Commercial club.
In the newspaper world. especially,
there is wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The main objection heard last night was
by an old newspaper man who solemniy
said:
Gentlemen, it is setting a bad prece-
dent"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-03-23

There was great CONSERVATION among
newspaper men, public officials and other
deadheads last night when it was POSI-
lively announced that no free passes
would be given to the Vulcan benefit
baseball game this afternoon. All of
them are determined to go and this de-
termination brings up some very interest
ing questions. It is hard to believe that
persons who have never paid to see any
thing in their lives can survive the act
of handing a half dollar in Uncle Sans
money into a box office, but Secretary
Jackson has prepared for this by having
physicians ready for such emergencies.
When the word was sent forth last
night that the deadhead was no more the
looks on some of the old timers faces
were pitiful. They knew they had to be
there as they had seen everything from
a dog fight to a ping-pong game since
their early infancy. There was a great
hustling among the scribes and officials
to begin negotiations for the loan of
piece of silver. Some of them signed
salary notes, giving mortgages on every
thing they had any prospects of owning,
while some made 1t plain fiat PROPOSE
ton and touched some of their friends in
approved style.

Pitch Vulcan Game
MANY TICKETS ARE SOLD
Entire Proceeds of Today's Game viii

Feels Grateful to Base
ball Managers.

Iron Man" McGinnity will go in the
box this afternoon against the Birming-
ham team for the benefit of Vulcan, the
Birmingham iron man which will repre-
sent this district at the St Louis exposi-
ton. The game between the Giants and
the Birmingham Coal Barons will be
called at o'clock, and it is expected that
more than 1000 fans will line up on the
seats to watch Birmingham defeat Nc
Graw's pennant chasers.
Birmingham has made a good showing
against the visitors in the past two games,
and with the teams strengthened as 1t has
been in the past day or two, the team
should hold New York down to a compar-
atively close score.
Tickets for the game have been selling
rapidly, and the members of the various
Commercial club committees who have
been given tickets state that they have
sold over 500. These. with the tickets sold
at the various soda fountains cigar stanas
and other places where they are kept,
indicate that the crowd today will be
unusually large
The entire proceeds of the game are to
go to the Vulcan fund, and something
like $1,000 should be realized this after
noon. The Commercial club still needs
about $4,000 to complete Vulcan and set
him up at st. Louis, and the ball game
will prove a great benefit.
The management of the New York team
and also of Birmingham have generously
donated the entire proceeds of the game
to Vulcan, and President Jackson of the
Commercial club has expressed his thanks
and that of the people of Birmingham for
the generosity
