CALL FOR BLOODHOUNDS
FIRE AT MARION JUNCTION OF IN-
 CENDIARY ORIGIN.
The Central Alabama Fair at Selma
 Promises to Be One of the Hest Ever Held in the State.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Oct. 28.
 At an early hour this morning Sher- fir F. M, Blackwell was called to his telephone and asked to send the Coun- ty bloodhounds to Marion Junction on the first train so that they could be mi on the trail of an incendiary. The dogs at that time were at the convict camp near Tyler's and could not be sent out.
 At an early hour this morning the crib on the plantation of Dan Rutledge, q negro, near Marion Junction was dis covered on fire and the building and It's contents were destroyed. In the crib was stored about 500 bushels of corn. Around the barn. it is said, there were footprints of several per- sons. The supposition Is that the per- sons whose footprints were found around the barn set the building afire.
 The fire was discovered about o'clock this morning. A crowd of the neighbors quickly congregated and made an effort to save the building and its contents, but were unsuccessful. The loss is estimated at about $500.

VIII Have Fine Races .

J. B. Ellis and Ben Rennicke. of the Central Alabama Fair Association, have returned to the city from Bir- mingham. where during the past week they spent several days attending the fair. Both went in the interest of the Central Alabama Fair. They are pos itive that the fair which will be start ed in this city November 2, will be one of the greatest ever held in Alabama. Practically all of the race horses that have been participating in the meet at Birmingham will be seen on the Selma track. There are about 300 horses in Birmingham and most of these will come to Selma. Besides the horses that are now racing in Bir- mingham there will be others here. Among those not entered in the races at Birmingham and will compete for the purses here are the fine standard bred string that will be trained here during the winter by Mir. Rennicke.
 The Selma track Is considered to be much faster than that in Birmin gham, and it is thought that much better time will be made. Many of the at- fractions and exhibits in Birmingham will come to the fair in this city.

Birmingham, October 28.-(SpectaL) Lily Ray, the young white woman who was arrested by the city detectives Tuesday and accused of being m aces sorv to pickpocketing committed py Johnson Tyler, who was also appre- hended, was today held to pail py
 Judge Feagin in the Inferior Criminal Court to appear before the next term
 of the grand jury. Her bond was fixed at $1.000.
 B. M Allen, the attorney for she de- fendant. has irtimated that habeas corpus proceedings would be started at once looking to a reduction of the bond. When the case of Tyler was called. the attorney demanded a bond and it was procured before Justice I. H. Benners, who will have to try the case. The attorney objected to Judge Feagin try ing Tyler on the grounds that he had expressed an opinion in the woman's case which had a bearing on the man.
 The court room was again filled to- day when the trial of the woman was resumed. l.. IL. Hanks of Woodlawn. who lost his pocketbook at the time of the big crowds at the depot, incident to the visit of President Roosevelt, took tho stand for the second time and The defendant said that she was mar ried to Tyler. The woman gave the strictest attention all through the trial and showed plainly that she was dis appointed when u dge Feazin an- nounced his decision. The judge de- clired to reduce the bond.

Pool Selling Stopped.

There was considerable disappoint- ment to the sporting element this af- ternoon at the State Fair when 1t was announced tha all organized gambling, which included betting by books" on the horse races on the tracks, would be off. This step was found neces- sary so 1t Is stated, because of infor- nation ttat there vas a loud complaint raised by the church element in the city It was learned that a big meeting was ur der consideration to protest to tn eauthorities of the county and State for not Investigating the alleged bot ting on the races. A rumor prevailed that ministers throughout he city had planned big meeting tomorrow while sermohs were to be preached at the morning services on all sides. The Australian system of betting has been employed at the fair grounds. similar to that in New York State where races are corducted. The sport had in- creased to such an extent here since the opening of the fair until the races were the greatest attraction at the fair. The attendance daily at the State Fair las been ircl easing, the greater cro v Is being out in the afternoon dur ing the running races.

MAYOR MALEER'S MESSAGE

The mayors message which appears in The Herald
today is document that will give general satisfaction
to the citizens of Los Angeles It's causes the
impression that the mayor to redeem his prom
ses made both before and after his election He tells
the city council at the beginning of the message that
THE public affairs of such city demand of those
entrusted with their management the exercise of the
utmost diligence, and honesty in order that the
revenues of the city may be economically and advan
tageousy applied to the purposes for which they have
been received He therefore demands that ''rigd econ
omy be exercised in all departments" ETC.
The mayor advises. urged by The Herald that
The Legislature be petoned "to make such changes in
the existing laws will permit the city to deposit its
funds In banks, providing such banks give security
etc He specifies that the security shall be bonds of the
United States or Of this city state No allusion is
made to interest," but that is an important consdera
tion and presumably is implied The question of water
supply expansion he leaves entirely to the water COM
mission, and he takes occasion to compliment highly
the present board.
Concerning the control of public utilities the mavor
takes the same ground that has the basis of The
Heralds contention for months. He alludes to the
ordinances the files OF the council relative to Gas
electric and telephone companies ana says: "These
ordinances should receive your Immediate attention;
their passage necessary in order that the power con
fered the council by the city charter To regulate
the electric light and telephone businesses ana to
fix and determine the price Of gas electric light and
telephone service may be exercised"
The message inspires confidence that the mayor
means to use his utmost endeavor to give the city
Wise and economic administration.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-04
THE MAYORS GOOD START

Mayor McAleer has made commendable start in
his avowed determination not TO be influenced by
fear favor" the choice OF officials subject to his
appointment.
The selection Of police commissioners is clearly In
line with his expressed purpose OF the four commits
sioners-two Republicans and two Democrats-all are
men of recognized business or professional repute Two
of them are closely associated with the business and
property interests of the city, while the other two are
prominent lawyers we'll versed in the important legal
aspects of affairs in the police department
The mayor has deserved at the beginning Of his ad
mnistration the thanks of all citizens for his manly
attitude in following the line of policy outlined by him
before his election has given evidence that there
are mo strings" attached to the mayoral chair. Thr
frmness with which he was credited by his frieDdg
during the campaign is in evidence in his first off cAl
act
Incidentally the selection of the police commission
places in cold storage for period of two years the
selfconstituted drmaster of the municipal govern
ment The Express with characteristic impudence at
tempted instruct the mayor to his duty in regard
to the police board appointments In the first place,
that bumptious harbinger of the night charged the
muzzle with personal animus against Frank James,
admonished the mayor that it would not tolerate the
appointment of that gentleman the commission. Fur
hermore gave impressive notice that o. T. Johnson
would not accept appointment the board in case
of Mr.. James selection.
In paying attention to the pestiferous Express,
except to practically chuck it into cold storage and
snap the lock, the mayor has the admiration of
all citizens who love manliness, independence and grit
in the head of our municipal government
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-04
THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

The biennial message of Governor Pardee to the
legislature has but few features that especially
notable. At the outset of the document aluson is
made to the prosperity of California during the period
since the last meeting of the Legislature AS to the
future the governor thinks it only remains for Cali
orna to put aside individual and local jeaouses and
unite in helping forward everything that likely to
prove good for the commonwealth to make us all
sharers in prosperity hitherto unparalleled" The
admonition is not applicable to the southern section Of
the state There local eaousies here because
there is nothing of which to be jealous.
The governors congratulation to the legislature
sounds somewhat ronica in view of the early proceed
ings of that body He of the members that they
benefit their constituents by exercising economy"
etc. No specific mention is made however of the clerk
ship graft with which the session began.
In regard to the state finances and the chronic
shorness of funds in years the calls
attention the fact that before the taxes for 19034
collected the expected happened for the general
fund ran short and borrowing from other funds
unavoidable" And hence "a condition such as had not
before arisen for nearly decade made it necessary
for the Legislature order "a larger levy than the
appropriations demanded"
