IN SUPREME COURT
SEVERAL CASES OF SPECIAL IN- TEREsT TO CITY or
 MONTGOMERY.
Famous BeuItier wiIl gse. the Hiw In- junction Case HetwGsn the I've Lf@ht Cempamies ne~
 fore the Court

Several cases of interest to Montxori- cry County were filed yesterday with Gen. R. F. Ligon. Clerk of the Ala bama Supreme Court for submission to that honorable body this week. the reg uiar time set for the hearings from this and the other counties composing the Third Division. One ease h that of the Central of Georgia vs the State of Ala bama, in which an appeal was taken from a judgment of, the Montgomery City Court assessing a fine of s1o0 for obstructing a public road at Pike Road. An engine of the Central of Georgia Railway pushed freight car of the sidetrack at Pike Road and left it in such way as to obstruct the dirt road. 1t is alleged.
 The famous Boultier will case. that attracted great attention in the Moflt- gomery City Court when on trial here for several days. Is also on hie with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. This is in the shape of an appeal from the City Court which declined to issue mandamus to compel Probate Judge J. B. Gaston to probate the alleged will of Boultier benehtting Mrs. R. May Grimm. The will had been ia contest with another will bequeathing property in this city to the Working Womaus Home Association. A verdict had been rendered sustaining the validity of the latter will and counsel for Mrs. May Grimm later applied to the Probate Judge for probation of the will. The probation was refused and no writ was obtainable.
 The long-1ived legal battle between the Montgomery Light and Water Pow CT Company and the Cttizeng Light. Heat and Power Company, of this city, Is to be again under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. The. former corpora- ! tion is attempting to restore an injnnc- tfon they once had against the Citizens Company to prevent them from string ing electric wires on a pole at tho northeast corner of Dexter Avenue and Commerce Street. The pole, the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Cofn- pany claims, is it's private property and 1t is a trespass as well as a danger to the public for any more wires to be strung on if.
 The Citizens Company contends that it's franchise given by the City Council of Montgomery carries the right to put up wires on the pole in question and that the additional lines would not be dangerous. Their contentious were once sustained by the Supreme Court under some form but another appeal has been made.
 The case of David P. West vs. Mont gomery City Council will also be sub- Initted to the Supreme Court this week A decision in this case should deter mine whether Mir. West can continue to operate his ice plant which he has erected at the corner of Bibb and Moul- ton Streets. The City Council decided that the plant is a nuisance on account of smoke and noise and Mir. West has been lined for violating the ordinances prohibiting .nuisances. A temporary in- function was obtained from Chancellor W. H, Parks against the officers of the city restraining them from further prosecution of the ice plant owner but this was later dissolved and an appeal was taken.

PAY FOR VOLUNTEERS
ATTORNEY CARTER URGES INF0R-
 NATION FROM ALABAMIANs.
Proof of Claim of Volunteers in the Spanish-American War Must He Made Before
 January.

Benjamin Carter. of Washington, who has been looking after the claims of Alabama soldiers for pay prior to mus. ter for the Spanish-American War, wrote Governor Jelks yesterday that the time limit for presenting the claims will expire January 1. An appeal Is accordingly made in the letter to use every means at hand to arouse officers in charge of Alabama companies to the need of sending in ak information im- mediately.
 The effort that is being made to col lect this money for Alabama volunteers is perhaps already familiar to many people but 1t seems that officers in the regiments from this State are delin- quent in furnishing the desired fnfor- nation. Other States are doing simi- larly to Alabama in applying for a set clement of the claims. It Is set forth by the attorneys prosecuting the claims that the soldiers are entitled to pay for the time that elapsed between the date they reported at company headquarters in their respective stations and the date of the muster-in.
 As Mir. Carter said in his letter to the exact dates for the different soldiers before the foundation of the claims can be laid. Already he has secured the company rolls of the men who were mustered in and sent them to officers who are believed now to be residents of this State. Some of the officers have responded readily and supplied the dates while others have not taken any

Bay Minette Files Petition For New Court House t Election. GOVERNOR JELKS HAS 1T Is Independent of Proceedings in Supreme Court. Petition for an Election Is Signed by 800 Residents Who Claim to Be Qualified Electors-suprcme
 Court Decision Expected
 This Week.
GOVERNOR JELKS HAS IT

The Baldwin County courthouse con troversy assumed another of it's numer- ous phases yesterday in the filing or a petition for an election to be held to determine whether the seat shall be removed from Daphne to Bay Minette. The petition, which was f1led with the Governor yesterday morning. is signed by 509 residents of the county. wno claim to be qualified voters.
 This step in the memorable contest is taken without regard to the litiga- tion now pending before the Supreme Court of Alabama. The election may be abandoned by the Bay Minette contin- gent If a decision is handed down awarding the seat to that town in in- disputable language. Some take IL that the election petition is a hedge move on the part of the adherents or Bay Minette, which would be refuge, the only refuge, in the event of thelr downfall before the Supreme Court.
 The resort to an election petition IS not regarded at all as an anticipation of the decision of the Supreme Court. although an opinion Is strongly ex- pected this week. It is the most na- tural thing to do, those of Bay Minette claim, contingent upon possible in- reference of the highest tribunal In the State. If their contentious fail to
 
 question will be left to popular choice
 Former Probate Judge Charles Hall of Bay Minette. was the bearer of the petition for an election. He had short talk with the Governor in his private office yesterday when the docu- ment, a bulky affair. was presented The Governor soon afterwards an- nounced that he would follow his pre- cedents in like petitions. He will do as he acted in the Cleburne County case. First, an opportunity will be given the Daphne contingent, or any opposition to the petition. to be heard. If there is any protest as to the requi- sites of the petition filed, such as chal- lengine the qualifications of voters, the Governor will send an Examiner to the county to establish the number of qual- flied voters attached to the petition. If the 500 required are found to be qualified. the commissioners. three in number, will be appointed by the Gov ernor to proceed with the election.
 Under the general law. the commits sioners will have absolute control of the election, name the managers and other officers and do the canvassing of

FINE IS REMITTED.
The Governor Shows Favor to Marion |. McCsee of Troy.

The Governor Shows Favor to Marion McGee of Troy.
 Because he was only an offender by technical guilt Marion McGee. young white boy of Troy. was extended clem- ency by Governor Jelks yesterday to the extent of renitting a fine for $50. The fine had been imposed on young McGee by the Pike County Circuit Court at the last term for carrying a concealed weapon.
 The trial solicitor recommended that the fine be remitted. It was shown that the boy had only been instrumen- tai in transferring a pistol from one person to another and was reported 10 the grand jury. It is not believed the subject of clemency intended to violate the law.
 The explanation of the Governors action is contained in the following words:
 The solicitor advises me that tEis was merely a case of technical guilt; that the boy had no idea of offending I have from other sources that he had the pistol to deliver to another party, and it was in transferring to the other person, and openly, that he was seen with it and reported. The grand jury could but bring in bill. The solicitor advises clemency. as the boy was ana is of good character.
 Tt is ordered that the fine be re- mitted."

steps at all. Some ofiicers have not even communicated with MT. Carter.
 So urgent is the matter at this time that Mir. Carter has sent the Governor a list of officers who should be in pos session of the necessary data and re- ouested him to remind them of the duty they owe their former fellow-soldiers. The request is further made that on Monday the Governor wire the oficers to collect and send in the information forthwith, that Is, those officers who may still be delinquent. It Is calcu- lated that Monday will be about the last date on which the data could be supplied for the prosecution of the claims before the War Department. There is considerable promise that these claims will be justified If the proper showing Is made.

 In all events, it is expected that the decision of the Supreme Court posi- lively naming the county seat will be forthcoming before the election could be secured. It is believed that if the decision is favorable to Bay Minette tho election project will be let alone.
