|KEaOE AFTER LIDDON
DISBARMENT PROCEEDINGS ARE
 BROUGHT AGAINST FLORIDIAN.
He Was Very Active In Securing Evi- dence to He Used Against swayne in Recent Im-
 peachment Trial.

Pensacola, Fla. March 10.-(Special.) Judge Benjamin 6. Liddon. who was foremost in working up the evidence from Florida against Judge Charles Swayne in the recent impeachment proceedings before the United States Senate, has been made the victim of a set of disbarment proceedings. brought by J. Walter Kehoe, State Solicitor for this part of Florida.
 The proceedings have been instituted before Judge Charles B. Parkhill, judge of the first judicial district. and the outcome of the matter will be watched with no small degree of interest. Just who is at the real bottom of the affair is not given out. but 1t Is said the ac- tivity of Judge Liddon In recent pro- ceedings has had something to do with the disbarment matter.
 There are some serious citations in the paper which has been presented. One of these Is the twelfth article, which practically accuses Judge Lid don of having offered a Senator in the Florida house a sum of money to make a speech against a certain measure of interest to the oystermen of this State during a late session of the Legisla- ture. The other charges make out that Judge Liddon has been guilty of inn proper conduct in many instances.
 There is great deal of importance attached to this case, since Judge Lid don was at one time associate justice in the Florida Supreme Court. and Is known from one end of the State to the other. He worked diligently in amassing the evidence against Judge Swayne, and succeeded in making out a case which was. to the non-partisan spectators, Q very strong one.

TroubIes of Berger.

1EOuUAc8 Ok nCBBcks
 Troubles of J. S. Berger, manager of a street fair aggregation which is now exhibiting in this city, increased this morning when he was hauled up be- fore the Mayor and fined $125 for do- ing business without a license and also was taxed $12.50 for trouble he had with members of a local musical or ganization. The fine collection was upheld for the present and will remain so until the manager of the attrac- tions can make satisfactory arrange ment for the carrying on of the busi- ness. Berger fought the cases and will take them to a higher court unless things go in his favor in the City Court.
 This fight has assumed interesting proportions Berger has seven shows making up his list of attractions, and he sought to nave a lot license issued The regular license for this class of shows here is $25 per day for each show. They were all placed in one lot and a petition was circulated among the city aldermen to have a blanket license" issued. the amount being $2S per day for the entire bunch. Six councilmen attached their signatures to the temporary change in the license ordinance, and when this was presented to the Mayor he readily gave his con- sent to the reduction of licenses. send ing at the same time a letter to the tax collector giving his consent for the issuance of the license as contem- plated by the petition. The tax collec- tor at once issued such a license.
 When this fact became known there was a great agitation among the busi- ness men who remain here all the year and who pay tho regular license fee. A petition was circulated by them and numerously signed. calling upon the Council to exact the regular fee from the street fair men. The good of this petition was at once noted and the ar- rest of the manager of the attractions followed. This was done yesterday and Berger was fined $175 for his act in carrying on the shows This morning he was shown to have conducted five shows, and the fine imposed was $150. The mana ger of the shows, upon set- clement of the case this morning, at once went to the office of the tax col lector and again took out license, this time for the single day as usual. The chief of police saw the act, which was in no way hidden by Berger. and warrant for a third time was taken out against him. He will be arrested late tonight when the shows arc about at an end.
 MT. Berger and a good many people in this city believe that the city Is liable for damages for thus interfering with the business, which is pronounced a legitimate one. The license under which Berger is operating is issued by the city, and the affair has taken on proportions of sufficient interest to at tract large numbers to the courts each day.

Another Mardi Gras Ball.

The anti-lenten functions. which have been unusually handsome and original this year. reached the zenith Tuesday evening when MT. and Mrs. Henry Lloyd entertained at a MardI Gras ball at the Hotel Albert compli- mentary to the Dixie Club, Crescent Club and Pickwick Club, the three most popular social organizations of the city.
 For the occasion the second floor was used. palms and carnations were used to decorate the pErlors. while an artistic hanging of Japanese lanterns added their beauty. The large dancing hall looked attractive with its drap- ings of red. white and blue bunting studded with stars, which formed a canopy, beneath which In the glow of innumerable electric lights, the splen- did and unique costumes worn by the guests showed to great advantage.
 MT. and Mrs. Lloyd were becomfngly dressed in very handsome Colonial cos tunes. The grand march of the mask CTS began at 9:3O o'clock and 1t was a pleasing scene that the handsomely and ridiculously dressed participants pre- sented.
 During the evening delicious cham pagne punch was served from a table artistic in it's appointments and at eleven o'clock ices and cakes were also served. The entire evening was thor -oughly enjoyed by the guests, which numbered over two hundred and the pleasure seeking element of Selma is greatly indebted to the gracious hos pitality of this popular couple.

The Nuisnnce Unabated.

When a negro spieler for a street lunch stand was arrested and fined two weeks ago for disorderly conduct in dis turbing passersby with vociferous yells about the merits of his weinerwursts. pork chops. sausage and the like, 1t was thought that the nuisance was stopped. It was in that particular stand on Alabama Street conducted by a Mir Roberts. but the fine appeared not to have any effect with the stand on Washington Street.
 white man is in charge of the Washington Street kitchen and his lungs defy competition. He can be heard for two blocks spieling about his wares and although fin that vicinity negroes lounge in quantities detri- mental to the business men who walks the thoroughfare the spielers voice is uite nerve racking.
 q cant understand said a merchant whose business is near this kitchen, why the police allow this man to con- tinue yelling like a wild man after the spieler on the other street was ar rested and fined. It's a nuisance"

Suspicious Character Convicted.

This negro has told so many diff ferent stories about himself that the police don't know whether his name Is Willie Collins or Joe Collins. but under the first name he was docketed as suspicious character and this morning the Mayor made him a member of the chaingang for twenty days. With the chaingang his name will be Willie Col lins.
 The defendant admitted that he had worked only two or three nights since he had. been in Selma the past three weeks and gave three places as those of his employment. He was unknown at all three places although he had apparently been in a cotton oil mill somewhere.

the Mayor recommended one or two dis charges and a revolutionizing of the work.
 The conference grew out of com plaints that have reached the Street Department and the Mayor from many rarts of the city against the negligence of the wagon drivers in falling to car ry away trash. It is said that in some streets garbage is piled high in front of residences and in other places instead of removing the waste entirely as is required of the driver the piles in the streets have been ignited and left to burn and smoke.
 This morning Policeman Philen re- ported to the Mayor that he had several complaints from residents on Maple Street and he wanted to know his au- thority in the premises. Policeman Philen said that in front of a residence on Maple Street a great pile of garb- age had been left for about two weeks, causing unsanitary and unhealthy con- ditions. The complaint came to him from housekeeper and his investiga- tions proved the complaint to be well founded
 Mayor Atkins immediately summoned Street Superintendent Shanahan. The Mayor said he had also had several complaints and had seen instances of the negligence of the street depart ment in removing trash on Union and Maple Streets.
 The Mayor has taken the matter in his hands and says he will see that the service Is improved.

Louis postoffice, was arrested in

charges a shortage of between
$4,000 and $4,000. Runder was one

employees. Postmaster Wyman was
shocked when inspectors acQuaint-

said Runder was an epitome of

Runder was arraigned this after

of the inspectors expressed the
opinion that it may develop the
apparent shortage is the result of a

SPOKANE COLLEGE. NAME

Two papers were filed with the
county auditor this morning which
reveal how history has been made
In Spokane regarding higher insti-
tutions of learning. The first was
a disincorporation of the old Spo-
kane College; the second was the
incorporate of the new Spokane
College, under which name the in
stitution founded by the United
Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America in this city is to be con-
Quoted.
The new institution desired the
name of Spokane College, but the
records of the office of the secre-
tary Of state showed that an exist
ing corporation bore that name.
The old institution was at least in
active and the promoters of the
new prevailed upon the others to
disincorporate in order that the de-
sired name might become available

MISS KNOTT
MAY PLAY A
SUNDAY DATE

The cancellation of the matinee
by Roselle Knott has disappointed
a large number of theatergoers
whose duties hinder them from at
tending a week-night performance,
and Miss Knotts manager has been
approached to learn If a special
Sunday night engagement can be
played to satisfy the demand for
seats. He has answered that it
depends largely upon Miss Knott's
health, for no matter what the in
ducement, no matinees or extra
performances will be played If her
strength is not fully equal to the
occasion.
The management have decided
not to give performance Sun
day night because of the great in
convenience it would case the M.
E. church people, who have been
using the theater for their serv-
ices since the church was destroy
ed by fire. The show people had
a legal right to Sunday night at
the theater, but she Is a woman of
religious principles and would not
interfere with the church.

motion was based on the theory
that the prosecution had through
its main witness failed to estab-
lish any conspiracy to defraud Dr..

tablish that Prall and Messner had
never entertained the proposition
to buy up the court in behalf of
DR.. Latham, but intended defraud-
ing her of money contributed for
that purpose. Judge Carey declin-
