M. NELIDoFFs POSSIBLE CHOICE.
Renort of His Selection Not Confirmed at
Paris-May Meet at The Hague.

Paris June 14-The highest Russian authorl-
ties saw concerning the Toxic report tnat M
Nelidoff would probably be the Russian pienl-
notentiary that no such appointment has yet
been communicated here.
The view prevails in Russian diplomatic quar-
ters that the place of meeting will not be In the
Far East as that would be fraught with diff
culties of communication, and they are inclined
to believe that European point will be
selected the apparent inclination being toward
The Hague or any other neutral point. If some
European point is chosen NJ. Nelidoff is con-
sidered likely to be the representative of Russia
Baron de Rosen's instructions remain un-
changed He will sail for the United States on
June % to take his post Ambassador at
Washington unless the authorities at st. Peters
burg decide otherwise.
II now appears possible that the question of an
arnnistice may be arranged at or near the seat
of war and 1t is possible that Peking may be
the place selected for taking up this subject. In
anv case the negotiations relative to an armis-
tica and the place of meeting have reached a
sta ve where a decision is considered imminent.

ALABAMA WILL PLAY
 GEORGIA TOMORROW
While the Alabama Team the Heaviest the Georgia Boys Are Reported to be Very Fast and Grty-Lates News from
 tuscaloosa About the Condition of the Ieam

Alabama and Georgia will meet on the gridron at West End tomorrow afternoon in what promises to be one of the hardest fought games of this season. The Ala bama team will arrive in Birmingham to- night and will be at The Birmingham, and the Georgia team will arrive today and will also stop at the same hotel.
 Both teams seem to be strong on the offensive, and Georgia is said to have made some superb rallies in the two games played this year while on the de- fensive. Coach Leavenworth has devoted most of his time since the last game Alabama played in teaching the team the art of defense, and he believes that a marked improvement will be shown Sat urday when Georgia has the ball.
 The following special from Tuscaloosa gives the latest information on the home team:
 University. November 2.-(Speeial)- With only the practice of today between them and the game Alabama's athletes seem in fine form for the struggle with the Georgians Saturday The team is com ing fast, especially in it's defensive work where heretofore 1t has been weak. It's offense has from tue first been powerful but when the ball vent to the other side that side generally went through Ala bama's defense quite regularly. But all of this defensive. weakness Is being changed. This week Coach Leavenworth has devoted almost his entire attention 10 this department of play, and unless everybody has been seeing through smok- ed glasses, he has not worked in vain Yesterday afternoon he made the scrub keep the ball during the greater part of the play. Varsity kicked off to the scrubs ten-yard line and the scrub, back who caught the ball, was downed in his tracks. First down five yards to gain yelled the referee. Twelve. twenty-five, fourteen, seven piped the quarter and the scrub backs rushed into the line. Second down, five yards to gain. said the referee. Again the scrubs sailed valantly into the varsity and when the melee was cleared up it was third down, six yards to gain. The scrubs were allowed to keep the ball and try to rush 1t, but on the ninth down they gave up the attempt. for they had been steadily showed back ward to their own fve-yard line Then they punted out of danger.
 During the whole time of play the scrub made only two first downs, and one or these came on a penalty for varsity offside. The varsity line charged like tigers and upset every play. while the

DECISION IN MooTED CASE. Chancellor Whitesides Says Gadsden Can Build WaterWorks Plant.

Gadsden, November 2.-(Specal)-Chan- celor Whitesides has handed down his de- cision, in the celebrated water works question of R. A. Mitchell vs. the city of Gadsden in regard to the injunction asked by MT. Mitchell to restrain the city from selling the $10O000 bonds recently issued for the purpose of building water works system In the bill filed by MT. Mitchell to require the city to designate the streets in which the water mains are to be laid under the contract with the city. the Chancellor holds that Mir. Mitchell has enough equity in his contract to require the city to do this.
 But he also holds that the city did not exhaust it's power to make provisions to supply the city and It's inhabitants with water when 1t made a contract for the water supply with MT. Mitchell. The chancellor says the city can make a con- tract with another person If 1t sees proper to do so or can build a water works sys- tenn of it's own and that such a person or the city may compete with MT. Mitchell in furnishing water to the city and it's inhabitants. It seems that this does not settle the famous case as both will appeal to the supreme court.

Dynamite figured in Judge Feagin's morning. levee yesterday. There were no bombs pn evidence but all eyes were name was called The charge against him was the reckless shooting of dynamite
 This caused murmur to run through the court room and the spectators lean ed forward to learn the facts in the case. Some of the spectators were of the opinion that man from the Cars country had turned loose in this country
 It developed that MT Christian is an employe of the Burkhalter Contracting company, which Is doing some work on the Highlands. Policeman Dickson said that the proper precautions were not taken in blasting rocks near Sycamore street. and that a number of window panes were broken.
 After hearing the evidence the court was of the opinion that Mr. Christian should hand over s2.50, or enough to pay the cost.
 A number of cases of interest were tried. Three white men, w. J. Varley, F. L. Bivnge and H. Goldstein were up for leaving trash cans on the sidewalk. They were fined $2.5o each.
 Charles Price, a negro arrested We'd nesday in answer to a description of man wanted at Cedartown, Ga. was re- manded to jail to await the arrival of a sheriff from Cedartown.

AGED WOMAN. GOES
 BACK TO GEORGIA
MRS. MlLINNER, PETlTIoNING TO BE HEARD ON HABEAS CORPUS WRIT, DECIDED TO FACE MUIR. DER CHARGE.

After making application for a writ of habeas corpus, returnable at o'clock today before Judge Samuel Weaver, Mrs. Cordelia Mlinner. the aged woman. charged with the murder of her husband. decided to return to Baker county, Geor- gia. She reached this decision when she was convinced that the papers held by Sheriff J. P. Odum. who came for her, were regular, and upon the advice of her attorneys at Newton, who sent her word that they wanted her to go before the grand jury next Monday. Sheriff Odum left with his prisoner at o'clock yes terday afternoon
 The habeas corpus writ was asked for by H. J. Screws, a son-in-law of Mrs. Milinner. at whose home she was ar rested Wednesday morning by Detective Bodeker and Policeman Baker. He simply desired to see that the woman received fair play and when the sheriff told him that her attorneys at Newton were anxious for her to tell her story to the grand jury he withdrew all objections.
 The sheriff corroborated Mrs. Milinners story as printed in The Age-Herald yes- terday. He said that she had been acquit- ted at the preliminary hearing, but that a brother of the dead man had sworn out a warrant against her on the strength of statement of the son, who is held for the crime. The son of the aged woman is quoted as saying that the gun was fired by his mother. According to Mrs Milinners story he did the shooting. She says he is mentally unbalanced.
 Mrs. Milinner was in better spirits yes- terday than on the day before, when she was first placed under arrest, and said she was confident that the grand jury would believe her story. She said that some one put her son up to fastening, If possible, the crime on her.

defensive backs would rush into the breaches and almost invariably hurl the play back for a loss. Such playing as varsity put up yesterday cannot help but win games if 1t Is only kept up.
 An interesting feature in the personnel of the team is the number of Birmingham boys on 1t. There are in all six men from the Steel City connected with the team. Jelks Cabaniss is manager: Mcdaniel and Sims are holding down the guards posi- tions in great shape; Wllfred Nell is making things lively around left tackle, Ben Robertson Is making star on defen- sive work at full back: and Monro Lanier the lightest man on the team, is doing magnificent work at end.
