killed Bryan is still in Jail here where
 he will remain untu the next term of the circuit court of Butler County,
 when he will answer to tue charge of
 murder. It Is believed that he win be declared insane and sent to the asylum
 at Tuscaloosa. He has already spent twenty-three months in the asylum and at tbo time Bryan was killed he
 was out on probation.
 The tragedy which brought George Bryan to the grave and which iucar- cerated two young girls in prison for eight months to finally stand trial for murder grew, out of the burning : of the Baptist Church at Mt. Olive, in Butler County. a church which was largely built through, the efforts of Johnson. This churcn was burned one
 day last June and a note was found
 on a tree in the yards signed by John Henry Johnson. Are God" de-
 cla!ing that he burned the church be-
 cause he was responsible for tho sins l of the world.
 A warrant was sworn out charging him with arson. Sheriff Hill Hartley
 and Deputies Oliver and George Bryan
 went to the Johnson home, fourteen miles south of GrcenvIlle. to serve
 the warrant. Johnson resisted arrest
 and in the struggle wit.4 the officers
 he shot and killed George Bryan.
 The State sought to show that in the
 struggle while Johnson was being held
 safely and while he was overpowered by George and Oliver Bryan. Maggie
 Johnson had knocked George Bryan
 away with a piece of board or scant- ling, which enabled Johnson to pull
 a pistol and shoot Bryan before ne could close in the struggle agaIn. The State further sought to show that Maggie Johnson was only able to use the solnt, .ng because Katie Johnson held Sheriff Hartley at bay witt a shot gun for a moment or two. In thls way the girls were charged with be- ing accessories to the mu.dAr. That they took any such part Tn the dif.t- culty was denied by the two young women and by their mother.
 An attempt was made through an application for Q writ of habeas cor pus to secure the release of the two girls on bail and the case went to the Supreme Court where the application was denied and the contention of the attorneyb for the defense were over thrown. It was ,his decision of the Supreme Court to which allusion was made by Judge Richardson.

SAM JONES GETS
 IN CLOSE QUARTERS
MAN IN MONTGOMERY TAKES HIM TO A ROOM AND THREATENS HIS LIFE IF HE DOES NOT PER. FORM MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

Montgomery, April 20,-Rev. Sam P. Jones of Cartersville, Ga, the well-known evangelist and lecturer, had an experience today which he Is not likely to soon for get. Mir Jones was in Montgomery en route to Tuskegee, where he tonight de- livered a lecture to Booker T. Washing toms school Sam H. Wndham, a Meth odist preacher. whose home Is at Dothan Ala, aceosted him on the streets and per suaded him to enter Windham's room at at hotel. No sooner than they reached the room the preacher turned to Mir Jones, after first locking the door. and placing the key in his pocket and said
 God has directed me to go to Dothau and get marr l. and take you with me to perform the ceremony. Then we are which we will return to Montgomery and conduct a meeting here.
 ''If you don't assent to this either you or l must die
 At this moment bell boy knocked at the door and Informed Mir Jones that he was wanted at the telephone. Excusing himself the man managed to leave the room and needless to say did not return He was followed to the depot however and where he was arrested by Detective Payne. Windham. who is a former in- mate of an insane asylum and who has been three times divorced from the wo- man he wishes to wed again, is held at police barracks as a suspicious character It Is not known at this time what dis position of the case will be made
 Before having seen MT Jones Windham called at a local newspaper and left the following written interview with himself:
 "Sames Jones, who Is billed to lecture here Friday night, passed through this city en route to Tuskegee, where he will preach tonight. While in the city there was an interview between Sam Jones and Sam Windham at the Glenmore hotel, where the latter has been stopping for the last two days. awaiting the arrival of Sam Jones.
 sam Windham is just from Los Ange- les, Cal. having spent the past four years out west He Is formerly of Ozark. Ala, and will go down with Sam Jones Satur- day to be married Sunday, Sam Jones performing the ceremony.
 Tt may be of interest to the public and especially those of like experience to state that Sam Windham has been sep arated from his wife three times she leaving him last in San Francisco, coming back to Alabama and securing divorce It Is to be hoped that Rev. Sam Jones will tic them together this time for keeps
 'The experience of Sam Wlndham. who is known as the drummer evangelist. is an interesting one"

The Pratt Consolidated is known to be the most extensive mining company in the south. It's output is at the rate of 5000 tons daily. and the production is being steadily increased. MT. Hoadley, it is understood, was eager to acquire con- trol of the company, but information comes from New York that the deal which was pending, is off, and off for good.

 It is said in New York that Hoadley offered in payment for the Pratt Consoli- dated stock only merger stock, and that MT. Hillman, MT. Mccormack and Mr Ramsay promptly declined to trade on that basis.

BUILDING BURNS
 AT VANDERBILT
MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE UNI- VERSlTY WAS ENTIRELY GUT. TED BY FIRE YESTERDAY MORN lNG-No ONE WAS INJURED.

Nashville April 2O-The main building. a magnificent structure of Vanderbilt un- iversity was entirely gutted by fire just before noon today The fire originated in the second story of the building from a defective flue. high wind was blowing and in a few minutes the entire structure was mass of flames. A general fire alarm was turned in and every engine in the city responded. On account of inadequate water supply the firemen experienced much difficulty in fighting the fire. The loss will be almost total, only a few fix lures being saved. The other buildings were not damaged.
 The building destroyed this morning was a three-story structure, and was built in 1874 at cost of $l250o0. the architect being Col. William c. Smith of Nash vile, who met his death fin the Philippines while leading the First Tennessee regi- ment in battle. There was $75,O00 insur- ance on the building and $1o,00O on the furnishings. It was the first building erected on the grounds.
 So far as known no one was injured in the fire.
 It is understood that the burned struc- ture will be rebuilt as soon as plans can be arranged.
 A statue of Commodore Vanderbilt, the founder of the institution, situated inn mediately in front of the building, and 0 gift from the citizens of Nashville, was not damaged. A portion of the university lhrary was also saved, but how much is inact cannot be determined until closer axanination Is possible. Of the portraits of ne Vanderbilt family which were in tha hapel that of Mrs. Cornelius Van ,larb,t was the only one destroyed
 Ttrait of the late Bishop McTyere, erat resident of the board of trustees, enl <, ,trumental in bringing about the orisina, endowment. was also lost.

TALK OF PLANS TO
 PREVENT INSANITY
DIR. HILL IS OPPOSED TO LEGls- LAYTON, SAYING THAT THE TENDENCY OF HERIDlTY IS AL. WAYS TO THE BETTER.

San Antonio, Tex, April 2O.-The sixty first session of the American Medico- Psychological association closed this af- ternoon after long and interesting days work. The papers and discussions hinged about the proposition to prevent insanity by eliminating the possibility of off spring of the person affected by legisla- tive enactment. The formation of public opinion to that end was advocated.
 St. Paul, Minn, was selected as the next place of melting of the associa- tion
 Interest in todays session centered in the paper read by pr. II. w. Miller of Taunton, Mass. Dr. Miller drew the con clusion that the state should control the marriage of persons afflicted with mind maladies. Dr. C. G. Hill of Baltimore held that 1t would be all wrong to pass such laws. All such things always have come out all right. and always will. Be- mgn nature makes the best of every sit- uation. The tendency of heredity Is al. ways to the better. said pr. Hill.

WOrrU Goes
 To The Stomach.
Tears Down the Little Telegraph Lines That Operate and Control the
 Digestive Processes.
HOW TO REPAIR THESE TELE-
 GRAPH LINES.
Will Gladly Give any Stomach Sufferer Full Dollars Worth of my Remedy
 Free to Try.

I ask no deposit-no reference--no se- curity. There is nothing to risk-nothing to pay, either now or later. Any stomach sufferer who does not know my remedy may have full dollars worth free, if he merely writes and asks.
 I willingly make thls liberal offer be- cause Dr. Shoops Restorative is not an ordinary stomach remedy. It does not, indeed, treat the stomach itself 1t goes beyond-it treats the nerves that control and operate the stomach. The nerves thas wear out and break down, and CAUSE stomach trouble. For stomach trouble is really only a symptom that there is serious nerve trouble inside. That is why ordinary remedies fail. That is why my remedy succeeds. That is why I can afford to make this offer.
 Yet do not misunderstood me when I say nerves" l do not mean the nerves you ordinarily think about. I mean the automatic stomach nerves over which your mind has no control. 1 have not the space here to explain to you how the nerves control the stomach, or how they may be vitalized and restored. When you write l will send you book which will make these points clear. But this much is certain-ailing nerves cause all forms of stor1ach trouble indigestion, belching heartburn. insom- mia, nervousness, dyspepsia. No stom- ach remedy will cure these ailments. Only nerve treatment will do that. No other remedy than Dr. Shoop's Restora- tive even claims to reach these nerves.
 What ails the stomach nerves? Wor- ", probably Mental anguish destroys their tiny flores and tears down the tel egraph lines without which the stomach has no more self control than sponge. Overworl< will do it. Irregular habits will do it. Overeating will do it. Dissi- patton will do it. But the effect is the same-stomach failure.
 No matter how these nerves became impaired-I know way to rebuild their strength-to restore their vigor. It is a remedy which took thirty years of my life to perfect-a remedy which is now known in more than fifty thousand com munities-in more than million homes as Dr. Shoop's Restorative.
 If you have stomach trouble and have never tried my remedy, merely write and ask I VIII send you an order on y2ur druggist which he will accept as gladly as he would accept dollar. He will hand you from his shelves stan dard sized bottle of my prescription, and he will send the bill to ne This offer is made only to strangers to my remedy. Those who have once used the Restora- tive do not need this evidence. There are no condt.ons-no requirements. It is open and frank and falr IL IS the SUI preme test of my iimitless belief. All that I ask you to do is to write-write today. e
