ENGINEER BADLY
CUT In GADSDEN
JOHN scHANEsTY Is BELIEVED
TO BE so BADLY INJURED THAT
HE WILL DlE-sTA56ED BY Ros-
CoE BEVERLY.

Gadsden, June 26-John sehanesty, en-
gineer at the steel plant, was seriously
and perhaps fatally cut by Roscoe Bev-
erly at the saloon of Tom Smith d Co..
on Broad street, at z o'clock today
From the best information obtainable
It seems that Schanesty mad struck some
one in the lower end of town with his
hand and when he and Beverly met at
the saloon something was said about it,
which caused more talk between the two
men.
After few words Schanesty ran his
hand in his pocket and Beverly told him
to keep it out. The men passed a few
remarks when Beverly suddenly struck
Schanesty in the mouth with his left fist
and commenced to carve him with
knife in his right hand, and before the
men could be separated Beaverly had
cut Schanesty in horrible manner.
He was cut no less than eight times,
of which there were three wounds in the
face. One cut laid his nose open from
the forehead to the lower edge of his up
per lip. Another commenced just below
his left eye and another took a circle of
his jaw. He was stabbed over the heart
and three cuts in the ribs.
As soon as he cut the man Beverly ran
out and made his escape.
Sehanesty was taken to the office of
Drs. Ison & Rolls and his wounds dressed.
He is in a serious condition. Roscoe
Beverly is a son of f. NJ. Beverly, a good
and Woodworking man.

PEPPERMAN RECEIVES
SYLACAUCA LETTER
Understood That Members of Execu-
tive Committee VIII RECON-
mend Meeting at Coden.

Montgomery, June Especial Late
tonight Secretary Pepperman of the Ala
bama Press association received notice
of the recall of the invitation of the peo-
pie of Sylacauga to meet there in annual
session. The notice came from the Com
mercial club, and stated that 1t had been
unanimously decided at meeting of the
son that some members minated that
Sylacauga was out of the way and it
would cost the editors time and money
to go there. which would not be so of
other places Therefore. being inconveni-
ent and not feasible, the club had decid-
ed to withdraw the request to meet there.
1t was signed by +. j. Smith, president
of the club.
Secretary Pepperman gave the letter to
the press and said that he would at once
write every member Of the executive
committee asking for preference of place
heard from notice of the place would be
officially announced.
1t is an open secret that practically all
of them desire to go to Coden, Ala. and
will so vote. 1t is though here that the
reason for the withdrawal of the invi-
tations was the unwillingness of the as
ISOLATION to have Mr. Conner make
political speech at the meeting which IL
against the constitution, 1t having been
given out that he was to speak, and the
people regarding the failure of the assoc
citation to fall In with II as an affront.

Headaches From Hate.

From the Cleveland Leader.
A distinguished English physician is
authority for the statement that many
a headache from which a woman suffers
upon returning from a shopping tour.
walk or rite, is due to the strain
upon the leverage of the roots of the
hair, caused by the action of the wind
upon large hats. Headaches hurt, but
hats are handsome. Possibly some milli-
merry genius will invent feminine head
gear In which it will be possible to take
a double reef when the winds blow high
and low and call for undue strain upon
the hair roots that make for .women's
crowns of glory.

KILLED BY TRAIN.
Young Harde Keith Horribly Mangled
Beneath Wheels.

Hardie Keith, young white farmer liv-
ing near Argo on the Alabama Great
Southern railway was found lying on the
railroad track near that place yesterday
morning at o'clock with an arm and
leg mashed off.
He was brought to the city and car
ried to Copeland and Berry's infirmary
where he died shortly afterward. 1t
is thought that he lay on the track for
several hours after being injured before
he was discovered
1t is not known how he got hurt, but
the supbosition is that he was either
crossing or walking along the track and
was run over by a train during the night.
The father of the young man came
to the city for the body yesterday and
II was carried to Argo last night for
burial.

This letter was received last night:
To the Editor of The Age-Herald, Biz
mingham Ala.
Dear Sir:--In explanation to the above
letter addressed to the secretary of the
Press association, the Commercial club
of Sylacauga wishes to make public the
cause for which the invitation was with
drawn.
a conference of the executive COM
mittee and the representatives of the
Commercial club of Sylacauga, held in
Birmingham June %, the impressian made
by the executive committee was to the
effect that they had considered declining
the invitation, which was accepted about
one year ago, TO make Sylacauga their
meeting place, and inasmuch as the cit
liens had subscribed literally to the fund
for the entertainment of the Press assoc
citation, the Commercial club did not feel
that they were treating the city with
consideration In asking them to entertain
the association under this impression.
Very respectfully,
SYLACAITGA COMMERCIAL CLUB,

SYLACAUGA DOES
MOI WANT EDITORS
(coatlnued from First Paee.)


the meeting this year in Sylacauga was
not feasible on account of the fact that
the outing you are to take this season
is in a nature of a local one and would
put quite a number of them to an extra
expense and loss of time to come here,
when, perhaps the business OF the assoc
citation could as well be attended to at
the place chosen for the outing.
Messrs. Donaldson and Johnston advised
us that you had stated to them that
you had received Il number of letters
along this line, and that it was the opin-
ion, at one time at least of majority
Of your executive committee that the
meeting at Sylaeauga was unnecessary
and really not preferable.
As our committee assured you, we had
made quite a lot of arrangements to en-
terrain the association, having raised
about $1,000 in order to make the whole
show free one in every sense, besides
having made arrangements with the rail-
roads for excursions to outside points OF
interest. and we assure you that 1t is with
a feeling of regret that the club reaches
this conclusion, and we trust that at
some favorable opportunity we shall have
the pleasure of entertaining you gentle
men and would have been happy in doing
so on this occasion had 1t not been for the
reasons above stated.
Very respectfully,
SYLCAUGA COMMERCIAL CLUB,

There is not great difficulty about prun-

in this hall where the last great assem-

So, interesting as the Alhambra may
be from the point Of view only OF his
tory. much more interesting is it to the
Jew of the twentieth century, who sees
it as the witness Of an act that brought
unspeakable misery to the Jews OF
Spain and Of an act that was turned by
Providence in the course OF the centu-
ries into an instrument Of relief for
down-trodden Jews throughout the
world. A view Of the Hall of Ambas-

engaged my attention to such an extent
that | feel like saying a few words on
those subjects. Dr. Schreiber's opinion
of DR.. Schechter is adverse and unfa-
vorable, while Rabbi Kauvar holds HIM
forth as a criterion, only because he IS
not of the denomination Of Schneider,
but of that Of Kauvar. None can deny
that Schechter is a scholar; but in the
definition of Judaism | am not In con
sonance with Rabbi Kauvar. He is right
when he holds that Judaism is too uni
versal to be denominated orthodox or
reform, as Judaism must stand unad-
iectived, but then he must not hold forth
the Judaism that is true to our tradl-
ton as the religion that is true in divine
spirit and that which is called reform
