BIG FINES ASSESSED
GAMBLING HOUSE KEEPER AND
 EMPLOYE PAY UP.
United States Court at Pensacola Be-
 gins Monday-New Method of EIecting Fire Chief--Smack Florida still Missing.

Pensacola, Fla, May 5.-(Special.)- Two more big penalties were meted out at special term of the Criminal Court yesterday, when Judge Beggs convened the court and received plea of guilty from B. Kissell for keeping a gambling house, and from another par ty named Collins for working in such a place. KisselIs fine was $1.000, while that of the other defendant was $500. A penalty of two years in the peniten- tiary was held out as an alternative against Kissell, while a term of con- f1nement for eighteen months was docketed against Collins in case his fine was not paid. Both had the cash in hand, however. and were ready to settle up ali differences as soon as the penalty was learned. Information was filed against these men by County So- licitor Loftin at the time of their ap. bearing in court.
 There is another feature of the ar- rest and fining of these two men that is yet to come. and. according to those who are in position to know, there will be 0 grand bonfire in some selected spot fin a few days, in which the mate- rial used will be the paraphernalia captured and seized at the gambling rooms which were to have been ope- rated by the defendants This prop erty is valued at not less than $2,000, and by those who seem to know, 1t Is stated that it is the finest lot of gam bling implements which have ever been brought to this city. It was the inten- ton to set up one of the most luxuri- ous of club rooms, but the officers step- ped in and stopped all plans. In &C., cordance with the law, 1t Is stated that the entire lot will shortly be reduced to ashes to preclude the possibility of being again used. The implements are now piled up at the county jail, where they were carted soon after confsca- tion by the sheriff and his deputies.

SCHOOL FOR OFFICERS
ALABAMA SOLDIERS MAY ENTER
 ARMY COLLEGES.
Governor Jellks Requested by War De- parfment to Recommend Men From National Guard for
 Admission.

Governor Jelks yesterday received letter from the Secretary of War ask ing that the names of such officers or the Alabama National Guard as may be recommended for admission to the army service school for the coming term, which begins November 1st and extends to March 31st. be forwarded to him as soon as practicable. and not later than June 1st.
 The schools to which 1t will be prac- ticable to admit militia officers this year, the letter states, are the Army Medical school, at Washington; the 1n- fantry and Cavalry school. at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.; Artillery school at Fort Monroe. Va. and such garrison schools as have been designated in cir cular No. 26. issued by the department Juno 28. 1904.
 Among the requirements for adn1is- sion to these schools are that the ap- plicants shall have been a member of the organized militia of his State for at least one year; that he shall be between the ages of 21 and 35 years, except for admission to the medical school, and a citizen of the United States, and that he shall furnish af- fidavit covering these points and a cer- tifcate from the colonel of his regi- ment or other person or persons that
 
 The letter calls attention to the fact that early action is necessary. as 1t is essential that all the preliminary re- quirements be met and the eligible ap- plicants be prepared to enter the schools at the commencement of the courses of instruction in order that they may be entitled to the allowances, etc, provided by law for those who complete the full course.
 The full course of instruction conn prises three years, with not less than seventy-five working days each year. The government allows such militia of f1cers transportation to and from the army posts where such schools are located, and. in addition cents per mile travelled; communication of quarters tenant and s36 per month for a cap- tain, and $1 per day for rations during the school term.
 The names of graduates of these schools are carried in the War Depart ment registers as long as such officers remain in the militia service.
 While no formal application has been made to the Governor by any off, f1cer in this State, quite a number have expressed a desire to go to these army schools and get the benefit of their training and experience.
 The opportunity Is considered an ex- ceptionally good one for such officers who have ambition to excel in their from Alabama should be readily filled. Application should be made to the Ad- jutant General, who will bring the mat ter to the attention of the proper au- thorities, and have the applications made in due form.

NEGRO GIRL DEAD.
Child Was Shot to Death in New
 town.

Ezella Poison. the 12-year- old negro girl who was shot Thursday night by Alice Malone. negro woman at her home on Park Avenue in Newtown died about o'clock yesterday morning at the home of her parents, 3S Perry Ave- nue, Newtown, and the warrant charg- ing the Malone woman with assault to murder was changed to murder.
 She was taken from the city prison by Deputy Sheriff Wilson on a warrant sworn out before Justice M. H. Screws and lodged in the county jail. The preliminary hearing of the case Is set for 10 o'clock Monday morning before Justice Screws.
 An entire load of birdshot entered the abdomen of the little girl and death was almost inevitable from the effects of the terrible wound.
 Facts concerning the tragedy are meagre but 1t is said by some that Ezella Poison was lying on the floor of the Malone woman's home when she was told by the woman to get up off the floor and go home. The girl did not obey her and laughed. Alice Ma lone told her if she did not get up she would shoot her with shot gun she held in her hand and when the girl laughed at her, she fired.
 All of the evidence will be brought out in the preliminary hearing and a large crowd will probably be present to hear the testimony as the tragedy is one of unusual and peculiar details.

lucky Case.
 Lexington, Ky. May Assignments in the Hargis trial began today Judge Hunt making the opening speech for the defense. The court refused to give instructions relative to Hargis be- ing accessory before the fact which was the contention of the commonwealth as to the defendants guilt. All of the cOmmonwcalth's important testimony tended to show that defendant was guilty as an accessory
 The instructions of Judge Parker as to the conspiracy charges were to the effect that if Hargis was a party to the killing, even though some one else fired the shot or assisted or en- couraged said person or persons to such act he is guilty under the law. The State has not claimed that Hargis did the shooting or was present when 1t was done.
