Wilson to help him DO the Job. and the
two were to divide the money paid b,

The three men were also alleged to

the Lehl creamery, which was destroy
ed at about the same time, and we're
tried for that crime at Provo. Holt
man and Wilson were convicted and

ted.

Jennings, and as to the manner OF set
ting fire to the house. They said that
Jennings had a hard time getting the
money from Wilmer but that he gnal-
ly got $l6O, but did not pay them their
share. The two men then went 10 VIII

PROBLEM OF SERVANTS
BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS IMPORTANT
 MATTER.
Effort Will be Made to Secure Domestic Help for Montgomery Homes From Employment Bureaus
 of New York.

The Immigration Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association Hartwell Douglass chairman, held an interesting session last evening.
 The matter under consideration was a concerted movement to secure sup ply of white domestic servants for Montgomery families.
 The chairman submitted large hle of papers, being the written applica- tions of those desiring to employ such help. There were over fifty applica- tinos, made up from among the best homes in the city.
 As it had been evident, sometime since, that there would be good de- mand for white servants, inquiries were made in advance as to the supply. Lett ters were written to the commercial organizations and employment bureaus of the central west including Kansas City, St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago. Advices were received from Minneapolis to the effect that the twin cities of the Northwest were both up against 1t on the servant problem"
 The average wages paid to competent servants was said to be from $15 to $2S a month.
 After full discussion, the committee decided to take up the question with employment agencies in New York city which are in close touch with Castle Garden and other sources of sup pliy The committee will express preference for Scandinavian, German or Danish help.
 An interesting point brought out In the correspondence lay in the receipt or applications from several cities sur-

 The great fear which had come over Miss Abigail at the sight of the in- truder was rapidly vanishing. She felt sure he would not harm her and 1t was obvious that the quickest way to get rid of him was to give him what he wanted.

DEMONSTRATING CHARGED.
Jack SeariEht Taken Back to Elmol
 County.

S1N0 SG1EtBhh A1ACM D1CA NV kkAmnOk4 County.
 For stealing a horse while a convict Hack Searight was yesterday brought to Montgomery en route to Fillmore County from the convict camp at Elba, where he has just completed serving a term for another offense.
 Searight was a prisoner at the We tumpka walls several years ago. He was regarded as a well behaved pris- oner and was made a ''trusty."
 The warden gave him many privi- Ieges. among them being the exercise of the penitentiary hounds. Searight was sent out one morning to exercise the dogs. He was mounted on a horse. After taking the hounds some distance from the penitentiary. he turned them over to a negro woman, asking her to lock them in a house, until he called for them.
 Nothing was heard of Searight or the horse for several months. He was finally recaptured and sent to a lumber mill at Elba. Yesterday he finished serving his term and Sheriff Robbins of Elmore County was waiting for him at Elba to answer to the Elmore court for larceny of the horse.
 He was brought through Montgom- cry yesterday morning.

DISPENSARY ASSAlLED
LEGALITY or ONE AT ABDEvILLE
 IS oUESTIONED.
Case AppealsA to Supreme Court From Henry County Presents New Points as ts Whiskey
 Emporium.

With all the havoc wrought by the Supreme Court of Alabama among the dispensaries of the State before ad- journing the last time not all consti- tutional questions were settled inas- much as counsel for the dispensary commissioners of Abbeviile yesterday filed with General R. F. Ligon. Clerk of the Court. an appeal from the Henry County Circuit Court which decided against them recently.
 Abbeville has operated a dispensary for about two years. It was estab- lished under authority of an act of the last Legislature. few months ago J. B. Long. s. P. Bradley and others in- stituted quo warranto proceedings against the Abbeville liquor emporium which resulted in an order from the Judge of the Circuit Court busting the then commissioners. Robert Newman. B. B. Hays A c. Espy and W. c. H. Yam.
 In this case the dispensary is att tackled on many grounds which were apparent in other similar cases recent ly decided by the Supreme Court. There are. too, some additional arguments presented. The chief argument upon which the assailants are relying for a final knockout of the Abbeville dis pensary is that the act of the Legisla- ture which purported 10 authorize tt invested the commissioners with legis- lative functions.
 It was some such alleged defect as this, 1t will be recalled, which resulted in the overthrow of the Sheffield dis pensary. The Abbeville dispensary act provided. among other things. that the establishment of the dispensary should be in the discretion of the commission CTS whoever might be elected. Coun- seI for the relators also aver that 1t was even left to the discretion of the commissioners as to whether at any time the sispensary should be stopped.
 It is alleged that this dispensary act Is unconstitutional in that it attempted to give legislative power to the board of commissioners chosen to run the es- tablishment. N oattack Is made as in other cases. on the ground that there was not sufficient notice of the passage of the law given to the people as re- quired by Section 1oe of the Constitu- tion.
 Besides the Abbeviile law. there is now pending before the Supreme Court the appeal from the lower courts de- cision in the Uniontown case. There are entirely different points of law in- volved in these cases. The dispense ries which have been killed by the Su- preme Court were those at Sheffield, Elba and Headland.
