THREE WHITE MEN
 HURT BY NEGROES
DESPERATE STREET FIGHT IN LOUISVILLE IS CAUSED BY NE GRoES STEALING ICE FROM A PASSING WAGON.

Louisville, Ky, June GA desperate street fight took place today on Madison street near Eighteenth, in which three white men were badly slashed with knives by five negroes The injured men are:
 Michael Hawkins.
 George Showers.
 Peter O'Connor.
 All the negroes escaped except one. A number of children from the Seven teenth street school were passing just as the battle was at it's height and one of them was struck in the thigh with brick and injured.
 The trouble seems to have been started by the action of gang of negroes in jumping on an ice wagon and throwing off Jumps of ice. Finally Hawkins, the driver. stopped the wagon and came to- wards the negroes with a pair of ice hooks in his hand and ordered them to get off. As he came forward George Self, a negro, whipped out knife and buried it deep in Hawkins back. Other negroes armed with knives attacked Showers and O'Connor, who came to the rescue.

DECATUR SOON TO
 HAVE NEW STATION
EFFORTS OF MAYOR SkEGGS ARE CROWNED WITH SUCCESS, AND PROPOSED STRUCTURE WILL COST ABOUT $5o,ooo.

Decatur, June 6-(Special Ut is now an assured fact that Decatur is to have a handsome new depot to cost upwards of $5o,OO0 All arrangements have been made for the construction of the building. all questions having been settled between the mayor and board of aldermen with the railroads and the state railroad com mission. The city, on this account, has withdrawn all charges against the Louis- vile and Nashville and the Southern rail- reads as regards the claims of the city as to the need of a new depot
 Your correspondent is informed by Major H. A. skeggs that work will com menee on the new depot within the next thirty or forty days and that the work will lse pushed to completion.
 The new station will be located between Vine and Lafayette streets, near the pres ent location of the station.
 The city has long since needed a new station, as the present one has been un- able to accommodate the travelling pub lie for several years.
 The building of the new station is largely due to the untiring efforts of Mayor Skeggs. who has worked diligently on the matter for several years past. New Decatur has cut a considerable figure in the delay of the building of the station, as some of the citizens of that town have contended that the station should be erected in New Decatur, notwithstanding the fact that New Decatur has only one railroad, viz: the Louisville and Nashville. Their contention, however, has greatly retarded the action of the state railroad commission.
 Mayor Skeggs is receiving many con gratulations from the Decatur citizens upon his success in landing the prize. His administration has been one of the most prosperous the city has ever experienced. He has been instrumental in giving the city a modern sewer system, a $20 GOO public schol building, a Carnegie library costing Sl0,000, many street Improvements a reform government and many other things for the benefit of the city It has become an adage in Decatur that what ever Mayor Skeggs turus his hand to will be accomplished
 A $50,000 hotel is soon to be built in De- catur. The location will be within easy touch of the new union passanger station. most desirable lot has already been secured for the purpose on the corner of Vine and Railroad streets.
 The building will be a modern brick structure three stories high. and will be conducted on the most approved methods. Mir. Brown, of Scottsboro, a brother of the well known Jesse Brown of tho same place. will build the hotel and it will be run by Mir. and Mrs Sanders who now have charge of the Bismarck hotel in this city,

 Paid out. three companies. $52O, ,936OO These three big life insurance com panies received $l,124,S ,S5S.5O more money from their policy holders in Alabama in 1904 than they paid death claims in Ala bama in 1904
 Two of the above named companies are mutual companies and the policy holders are the company, and the policy holders own and control the affairs of the com pany, but one of the agents of the Mutual Life says that it is profound secret with the trustees about the amounts Of the salaries of the officers of the com pany. Each policy holder in mutual life insurance company should know and has a legal right and privilege to know the details of the management of the company in which he holds policy He has a right to know the amount of salary each officer and trustee draws and receives; because the salaries and ex- penses are paid out of the money which belongs to the policy holders. All of the details of the management, including the amount of the salaries of all the officers and trustees will have to be made known to the policy holders to relieve the doubls and fears, and feeling of uneasiness aboue the management and salaries of the offi- cers and trustees.
 The president of the New York Life said; "ln the interest of the public, the government should have tho right to in- spect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged in interstate business" The President in his message of December G. laoi, said: The business of insurance vitality affects the great mass of the people of the United States and t national and not local in its appli- cation. It involves a multitude of trans actions among the people of the different states and between American companies and foreign governments. l urge that congress carefully consider whether the power of the bureau of corporations can not constitutionally be extended to cover interstate transactions in insurance
 The president of the New York Life, in the Evening Post December 3l, 1904, said: The recent message of the President and his recommendations will in all lkcli- hood be fayorably considered by the pres

 Seat of Government.

Montgomery, June 6.-(Special.)-Lieu- tenant Governor R. NJ Cunningham is in the city to attend the anti-tuberculosis meeting at the High school building this evening.

 MT. Madrie says he and his nelghbors will form a party and hunt the beast down and kill it.

PALMER
SUMMAR|LY FIRED
FOR DIso5EYiNG A PREslDEN
TIAL COMMAND.
Ricketts,, Whom Palmer Tried to Re-
move, Is Holding the Place
Temporarily.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept S.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon summarily re-
moved from Office Public Printer f.. w.
Palmer at Washington, because Mr..
Palmer flagrantly disobeyed presiden-
tial command. The President issued an
order several days ago separating Mr..
Palmer from his job on the 18th of the
present month, and but for the public
printers disobedience he would have
been allowed to hold on until that
time. The first order of removal was
made by the President when he learned
that Mr.. Palmer had called for the res
ignations of two of his subordinates,
Ricketts, and Hay, because he (Palmer)
took offense at certain testimony given
By them before the Keep investigating
committee.
When he called for Ricketts, and
Hayes designations and did not get
them, Palmer gave them until last
Tuesday to SHOW cause" why they
should not be removed Last Monday,
when the President ordered Mr.. Pal
mers removal, he directed him to pro-
ceed no further with the Ricketts, and
Hays case. In violation of this order,
Mr.. Palmer on Tuesday issued notice
to Ricketts, and Hays that he would
hear their case on Saturday, the 9th
instant, instead of Tuesday. the day
first set. News of this latest Palmer
order did not reach Oyster Bay until
today.
SO soon as the President learned the
facts he directed the instant dismissal
of Palmer and the temporary appoint
ment of Ricketts, to fill the vacancy.
MIR. Ricketts, is one of the most promi-
nent candidates fer the place of public
printer.

said Lefevre as the mayors colored
messenger asked his business. He was
told he would have to send in his card.
Lefevre brushed the colored man out of
his path. Webb, the messenger, called
fol aid. George Seeds, the mayors
chief clerk, and Reserve Policeman
Bailey, an Old man, were unable to
subdue Lefevre. Three newspaper rep
regentatives, coming out of the mayors
private Office, joined in the fight, but
they, too, were put hOrs de combat.
Seeds telephoned for aid to the Cea-

public building, but before the police
men arrived at the mayors Office, on
the second floor, George Walsh, the

the Republican party. 1t opposed the
La Toilette or regular wing. IL car
rying on their campaign the stalwarts
succeeded, four years ago, in getting
possession of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
the then Republican state organ. 1t
obtained possession through suit
which the owners of the Sentinel did
not care to contest.
Then the Free Press was started by
the La Toilette wing. Many of the old
Seminal stockholders became finan-
cially interested, but back of them all
was Isaac Stephenson of Marinette, the
wealthiest man in Wisconsin.
Men of the La Toilette branch de-
clare that this latest Pfister suit is filed
in the hope of duplicating the trick by
which the Sentinel was wrested from
the regular Republicans but directors
of the Free Press say that this is a
hopeless ambition, so long as Isaac
Stephenson lives and is able to don
fighting clothes.
