 Bound hand and foot, gagged and left unconscious on the floor of his room In Bixley Hall last night. James 70. McGarvey, a student in the Theologf- cal Seminary of Kenyon College, was the victim. presumably of the s'un- known parties mentioned by Coroner Scarbrough in his verdict as having tied Stuart Pierson to the railroad track. The student body Is much aroused over the assault and is aiding Sheriff Clements and the Mt. Vernon police in investigating it.
 It is believed that McGarvey gave the information to the Coroner whicn led to the verdict in the Pierson case. as a note pinned to his stomach by his assafiants contained these words; "This will do for this time. but If we cofnA again 1t will be worse"
 McGarvey was found helpless In his room shortly before midnight by his roommate, John Brooke, son of Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma.

AGAINST LEGISLATION
MINE OWNERS OPPOSE EsCH-
 TOWNSEND BILL.
Also Will Oppose Any Measure Which Wfll Interfere With RaflroAds In Regulating Freight
 Tariffs. ,i

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 14.--A petition to President Roosevelt and Congress against the Esch- Townsend bill CT any similar rate Legislation designed to in- terfere with the fixing of the rates by the roads themselves, was the result of mine owners and operators con vention, representing fifty-three of the biggest coal mines in Kentucky and several coal companies, held in this city today.
 The meeting, the members of which represented mines with an output of over 5.500.000 tons of coal annually, adopted a resolution in the form of q petition against the Esch- Townsend bill without a single dissenting vote.
 The move to take active steps against railroad legislation will be spread to every other Southern State, if the plans of those who attended are carried out.
 committee was appointed to confer with and enter Into a correspondence with the mine owners and operators of every coal mine south of the Ohio River in order that similar action may be taken in other States and make the opposition of the coal men one of the most important factors which Con- gress will have to consider in it's atti- tude in the railroad bill at the coming session.
 VIII Take Matter to President.
 The mine owners of Indiana, Illi- nois and Ohio have signified their will ingness to join the Kentucky coal men and take the matter to President Roosevelt.
 The petition adopted today con- cludes:
 While we realize that there are evils to remedy, we do not believe that the Esch- Townsend bill or any similar legislation giving any commission the power to make rates, will furnish any relief; therefore, we oppose the pass age of the same.
 The coal industry furnishes the largest tonnage of any one commodity and any legislation affecting it's equlli- brium in any radical respect is liable to cause irreparable injury not only to the coal trade, but to all dependent employees and industriok.
 Therefore, we pray for a hearing"

Lawyers to Argue Matter Be.
 fore Justices Today.
VIII Decide whether the Commission Complied With Law-Four Opiuions Were Handed
 Down by Court.

The Bay Minette- Daphne Court House controversy is to have another hearing before the Supreme Court of Alabama a s lawyers are in Montgomery prepared this morning to present an appeal from the decision of Chancellor Thomas Ii. Smith, of the Southwestern Chancery Division. This decision was rendered this mast summer and was in favor of Daphne.
 The arguments of both sides are ex- pected to be heard this morning begin ming at 10 o'clock in the court room at the Capitol T. M. Stevens and K. T. Erwin of Mobile will represent the interests of Bay Minette in the case. and the Daphne side will be supported by H. T. Smith, of the firm of Gregory l.. and H. T. Smith, also of Mobile.
 As the cause has been brought into unusual prominence by the recent hap penings in Baldwin County great in- terest is being manifested in the out come of this. the third appeal to the Supreme Court, to determine whether Bay Minette or Daphne Is the county seat.
 Assumes New Phase.
 The act of the Legislature which pur- ported to remove the county seat from Daphne to Bay Minette was passed In 1901. The former cases In which the contest between the two towns has been s involved made attacks on the constitu- tionality of the act and on its seif-con- sistency. The Supreme Court, it IS claimed, has an opportunity to settle the fight for good this time because 1t has assumed different phase. The case to be argued today, that of James D. Hand, ct al, against Gus Stapleton, ct al, puts it up to the Supreme Court to decide whether the Court House Com- mission, named in the act, has done all the things required of 1t.
 There were number of duties inn posed on this Commission and one of them was, 1t is claimed, to determine from an examination of the funds of Baldwin County whether the new Court House that was built could have been paid for out of the available money in the year 1901. Chancellor Smith seems to have held that there was not enough money for the purpose and that as the members of the Commission did not do s.l -s - required of them prece-
