Payment of Poll Tax.

The following extract from the Alaba- ma Voter S Guide with reference to the payment of poll tax is interesting:
 A person who has not paid all poll taxes due from him on or before Febru- ary in any year cannot vote in any election or primary held between Febru- ary of that year and February of the next succeeding year. as the constitution provides in section l7S: And shall have paid on or before the 1st day of February preceding the date of the election at which he offers to vote, all poll taxes. etc.
 Therefore, a person who failed to pay all poll taxes due from him and which became delinquent aft'r February 2. 1904. cannot vote in the general election to be held on the first Tuesday in November, 1904, nor at any municipal, local, special or primary election held after February 2, 1904, and before February ?, 1905. The payment of the back poll tax for 1904 af- ter october 1, 1904. prior to the time of such election, If before February 2, 1895, will not entitle the person so delinquent after February l. 1904 to vote.'
 The subcommittee is scheduled to meet Monday night in the assembly hall of the city hall and it is believed at this meeting thl. chairman will be elected and a plan formulated for the coming primary.

CANDIDATES FUR THE COMMISSION Race for Police Commission
 Will be Interesting TWO MEMBERS TO RETIRE r. Henry Johnston and J. H. Mecary VIII Probably Not Run--Jones
 candIdate-candIdates for
 Mayor Are Active.

| The race for members of the police coiii- mission promises to become live issue in the municipal campaign. The board or commissioners consists or seven members and three of them will retire after the general election next May.
 It is understood that only one of the three members who will retire will stand for re-eleetion This is Commissioner Sid R Jones. who was elected to fill the va cancy caused by the resignation of z. T. Rudulph last spring. After several years service on the police commission, J. IL. MoCary will retire, and Commissioner T. Henry Johnston will not, 1t Is understood, stand for reelection at the coming pri- mary
 There are three announced candidates so far as follows;
 Sid B. Jones.
 Ed Warren, Jr
 Dr. J. E. Dedman.
 All three of these candidates are quite popular. All of them are comparatively young men, who have been life long democrats. Other announcements may be made shortly.
 Chief of Police.
 The city democratic executive commit tee. at it's recent meeting, voted to place the names of the candidates for chiet or police before the people at the coming primary, as has been the custom Tor seV- eral years The nominee of the people TOT the office is then elected by the commls- sioners to fill the position. It is sald' now ever, that some opposition to this plan has developed, and that certain members of the present commission are in favor oi the election of a chief as well as other members of the police department being left entirely in it's hands.
 The hold-over commissioners are Thomas F. Parker Eugene Fies, George c. Phillips and Dan Donohue.
 So far no opposition has developed t' the reelection of Chief Wier, and it il hardly probable that any other candidat will go before the people for the office.
 The varlcus candidates for mayor ar actively at work and a majority of then will open headquarters within the nex week or ten days So far Candidate Gee B. Ward is the only aspirant for tn mayors office to announce his campaig manager, Tut it is understood the othe five candidates will give out this muc sought information within the next fe' days.
 Committeeman James F. Hawkins, wh is the treasurer of the subcommittee O arrangements, states that he is in favo of a central registration place being es tahlished with registration papers for al of the nine wards. He thought thi plan would be the most economical fo the committee to adopt, and that would further prevent possible dupli cation ln registration.

that an obstruction had been placed

Officers at the navy yard would not

While the naval officers would not
discuss the nature of the obstruction
found on the ways, it is known that it
was not an explosive, and it is also
known that if it had not been found
and removed it would have either torn
a great hole in the bottom of the ship
or would have thrown it over on its
side. None of the naval officers or men

MURDERER CHEATS eALLows
Antonio cosato Found Hanging In His
Cell at West Chester, Pa.

West Chester, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Antonio
Cosato. who murdered Nicola Digloa in
February last, committed suicide in MS
cell by hanging himself with a rope
made of his bed clothing.
Counsel for Cosato Monday made ap-
plication for a new trial. but the plea
was refused, and Cosato was sentenced
to death by the court. The condemned
man seemed to be depressed by the de-
cision of the court and refused to par
take of any supper, but when the pris-
oners were all locked in their cells for
the night Cosato was apparently asleep
on his cot.
It is thought that after the watch
had retired Cosato prepared for his
self-destruction. He left several letters
acknowledging his guilt. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict of suicide.
