 Just as a matter of remote possibility where would you favor transferring the Birmingham team in case such condi- ton should come about?" was asked.
 Well, I don't consider that even A re- mote possibility" quickly replied the Coal Barons' leader. "but to reply to you I will say that I, personally, would favor Covlngton Ky. That practically would be transfer 10 Cincinnati, and as the Birmingham team has several players from the Queen city 1t would draw well. Then, besides, I had a letter yesterday from a, friend of mine in Cincinnati in which he stated that he had just been talking with President Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati club. and that MT. Her mann had said that in case a Southern league team was transferred to Covington arrangements could be made for playing the games on the Cincinnati National League clubs grounds. But I feel sure that 1t will not be necessary to transfer any more Southern League teams"

". B. TETHEROW IS
 SHOT BY BROTHER
WOUNDED MAN IS AT ST. VIM CENTS HOSPITAL, IN DANGER ous coNDITloN--AssAlLANT IS IN CUSTODY.

W. B. Tetherow was shot and probably fatally wounded yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock by his brother, Claud Tetherow, at Pinckney City. The wound ed man was brought to Birmingham and carried to St. Vincents hospital in Gau- din & Co.'s ambulance.
 Immediately after the shooting Claud Tetherow sent a message to Brockside for Deputy Sheriff J. P. Brents to come to Pinckney City and arrest him. Deputy Brents hurried to the scene and brought Tetherow to Birmingham. He was placed in the county jail.
 The cause of the shooting cannot be learned, other than 1t was the result of a quarrel. At the county jail last night Tetherow refused to talk about the shoot ing. Pinckney City is about two and one half miles from Brookside.
 It was stated at the hospital last night that it seemed impossible for the wounded man to live. An operation was per- formed and at an early hour this morning the patient had not recovered from the effects of the other. Four shots were fired, one in the abdomen, one in the lungs, one in the arm and one in the side. It is thought that the man is bleed- ing internally and his death is expected at any moment.

MAYOR AND CHIEF
 WEIR PERPLEXED
TWO WILLIE JoHNsoNs AND A SMALL SUM OF MONEY ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF COMPLICATED TROUBLE.

Chief Wier and Mayor Ward are knit ting their brows, scratching their hands. grinding their teeth and wearing some what of a worried look these days. They have a question to settle and it prom ises to start complications which might tax the capacity of a Philadelphia lawyer.
 To begin with money is the root of this trouble. The amount Is only a trifle, s41.5O. but every cent of that amount carries an ounce of worry.
 Two Willie Johnsons are the next causes of the worry and one Elder Johnson in Ripley Ga, figures strongly at another end of the string of worries
 It seems that one Willie Johnson wrote his father in Ripley that he was in trou- ble, and asked that he send him $46 with which to square himself. The money was to be sent care of the chief of police of Birmingham.
 The first thing Chief Wier knew was an order from one of the banks for S46 to pay Willie Johnson out of jail In- vestigation showed that Willie Johnson, No. or No. ?. no one knows which, was really in jail and that it required $450 to pay him out. The chief gladly performed the act of kindness and thought no more of the matter
 But there was a sequel. Yesterday Will lie Johnson appeared at the city hall and demanded his money. He said that his father had sent it to him so that he could pay a furniture company what he owed 1t, as the concern was threatening to place him in jail.
 About the same time came letter to Mayor Ward from Papa Johnson in Ripley, wanting to know about the money. Now the matter has to be solved, as an attorney has been engaged to collect the money from the city. The chief Is at a loss to know how many Willies there are. The city may have to make the amount good.

Manager Vaughan Has No Doubt That League Will Play Out Full Season. Team Could Play on Gin

STANDING.
Games Yesterday.
Memphis 4, Shreveport 1.

There were no new developments in the southern baseball situation yesterday resulting from the meeting of the mag mates in this city on Saturday and there is none expected for several days unless there is some material change in the yell low fever situation either for better or worse. The rigid quarantine which is to be established in Memphis this morning will not affect the baseball teams which come from a territory not infected by the fever germ, according to the Age-Heralds Memphis correspondent, and as the New Orleans and Shreveport teams will here after be lat home' in Meridian and Chat tanooga, respectively, there will be no trouble unless the fever situation changes. At least this is the opinion of local fans in touch with the conditions which pre- vail and is also that of Manager Harry Vaughan of the Coal Barons.
 'I have had number of persons to ask me seriously whether or not I believed the Southern league would play out the season and I made them all the same ans wer and that was that there Is not the slightest doubt in my mind that the full season will be played out" said Harry yesterday a11ernOOn. w nen l Indke lnlS statement I realize that there may come a change in conditions which will necessi- tate the transfer of one or two other teams to other cities, but even should such an emergency arise we have appl- cations from nearly dozen available cities which are eager for a Southern league franchise for the remainder of the season.
 "The matter of rearranging the schedule Is now entirely in the hands of President Kavanaugh and he will likely complete it within the next three or four days" continued Vaughan 'If conditions should arise later which necessitated any changes in the schedule Judge Kaya- naugh has full authority to make any changes he may think best even on but a | few hours notice. He can telegraph his | instructions to any manager and they 1 will be obeyed to the letter.

Brain w OrherS.

Brain workers suffer from headache because they over-tax and exhaust the brain nerves.
 Tired, irritated, turbulent brain nerves throb and ache; this weakens the brain power, and robs the memory.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills bring tranquility to the ex- cited nerves and stop the pain.
 If not relieved, this nerve disturbance is frequently ex- tended to the stomach, causing nausea, yomiting-sick head ache.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are convenient to take-just a little tablet, that in a few mo- ments relieves the pain; they leave no disagreeable after effects, as they contain no opium, morphine, cocaine or chloral in any form.
 Prom personal experience I can testify that Dr. Niles Anti-Pain Pills are a most excellent renIeay for head ache and neuralgia have been. groat sufferer from both diseases for the past three years.

 Manager Vaughan yesterday positively denied the rumor that Hennessy Is to be released. He also stated that Dusty Miller had not been released, but is for sale.
 'If Matthews should get hurt we would have first-rate emergency catcher in Roy Montgomery" said Manager Vaughan yesterday "Roy's bad leg would not prevent his officiating behind the bat and he could even play first base in pinch if my leg should go back on me again. Should another infielder become incapacitated for any reason Delehanty could be switched to the infield and either Wagner or Gardner placed in the outfield. I will retain either Wagner or Gardner"
 Manager Vaughan will be compelled to let another man or so out in the next day or two, but he will not say who the players will be.
