No, my dear. 1t is twelve o'clock now and

In few minutes Angler set out briskly, and as

retorted the lawyer bruskly u don't mean
that he didn't live, but that he didn't make
another will. I'm sure he could not have
improved upon this one. But what founda-

Il cannot tell you exactly" she faltered;
''the secret is not my own. But was SO I'M
fortunate as to vex Lord Arncliffe very much
some little time back and although he treated

clearly to understand that 1 must not expect

Strange said Angler musingly. When
did this most potent secret event occur?
About six weeks ago.
''And a month ago he added the codicil to
his will. My dear child, if he had intended
to cut you out of his WILL he would have
done so then"

Edith, with a truly feminine lack of
the sense of proportion
Nonsense! People do not forget
things of that sort. In any case-I NV

FLAW IN VACRANCY ACT
BURDEN OF THE PROOF RESTS ON
 THE STATE.
Judge Thomas in Charging MOntEOm- cry Grand Jury Calls Attention to Recent Decision of Su-
 nreme Court.

It was developed yesterday by the charge of Judge William H. Thomas to the Montgomery County grand Jury that it is practically impossible to se- cure convictions under the new va grancy statutes.
 Judge Thomas charged the jury to investigate all cases of vagrancy, but added that under a recent decision or the Supreme Court the State must show that to be a vagrant one has no property for his support This is a thing the State cannot prove in evi- dence.
 When the court had adjourned Judge Thomas was asked for an explanation of his statement to the jury. He re- ferred to the case of the State against Sophie Vandiver, ? negress of Mont gomery County, convicted of Vagrancy in the City Court of Montgomery
 In an opinion by MT. Justice Tyson of the Supreme Court, handed down on June Is, the case was reversed and remanded.
 The vagrancy statute defines a va grant as "any person wandering or strol.ing about in idleness. wno is able to work and has no property to sup port him" " :.---
 The Supreme Court held that the burden of proof was upon the State to establish by the evidence. beyond a reasonable doubt. not only that the de- fendant was physically able to work and that she wandered or strolled about in idleness, but that she had no prop erty to support her"
 Counsel for the Vandiver woman, the State having failed to prove these things, asked for an affirmative charge. The Supreme Court held that the af- firmative charge should have been given.
 Solicitor Dent has appealed to the Supreme Court for a rehearing of the case.

REFORMS ARE PLANNED ORDINANCE IN COUNCIL FOR A
 RESTRICTED DISTRICT. Alderman Sullivan Proposes to Better Govern Houses of Evil Repte-
 Movement to Revoke Street
 Railway Franchises.

The reform movement appears to
 have possessed completely the City County of Montgomery.
 Fast upon the heels of the Teague anti-Sunday selling ordinance, Alder man Sullivan presented a resolution last night calling for q restricted dis trict for houses of i'll fame in Mont gomery.
 The Alderman did this, he said, to
 put Montgomery in line with large and modern cities which had effected that
 particular reform. His resolution
 directed the mayor to instruct the chief
 of police to have all houses of prostitu-
 tion put In certain prescribed ter
 ritory and to direct the chief of police
 to rigidly enforce all laws bearing upon
 houses of prostitution out of the re-
 stricted district He spoke briefly to
 his resolution explaining the need of it.. Alderman Teague doubted the wisdom of the resolution, inasmuch as 1t was
 thrown upon the police department powers that only belonged to the Coun- ell.
 The resolution went to the Judiciary
 Committee.
 Alderman Sullivan announced that at the next meeting of the Council he would introduce an ordinace establish ing the restricted district and provid- ing for it's supervision by the police. The Council also took a look In on the ways in which 1t was alleged cor porations were violating the provisions of their franchises. Two ordinances revoking franchises because their grantees had failed to keep faith with the city were introduced. By far the most important of the two was the ordinance presented by Alderman Jack son. This ordinance revoked the fran chise granted Massey Wilson and his associates for the construction of a street railway out the extension Of Madison Avenue. The ordinance set forth that when the franchise was granted the grantees agreed to build an iron fence four and a half feet high along the steep embankment on the ex-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-07-04

,a-aion of Madison Avenue. This had not been done. 1t was charged, and with the street cars running 1t was danger ous to drive along the extension.
 The ordinance was referred 10 the Committee on Franchises ana friFi- leges.
 Alderman Gunter presented an ordi- nance revoking the franchise granted the Eufaula and Montgomery Railroad fin 1859 allowing them a right or way twenty y-fve feet wide through .he e cemetery. MT Gunter In offering the resolution said that the railroad com pany had failed to keep it's agreement to attend to certain parts of the ceme- tery. The ordinance was move towards having them keep that agree ment and to have some settlement ol ,ba dtfferences existing between the railroad company and the city
 The ordinance went to the Judiciary Committee.
