Military steeple Chasing.

New York, Oct. 21.-The first mill

Of the United Hunts Racing association
and with the endorsement of the mill

favor Of the plan Of holding such stee-

lend every assistance within the power
Of the military authorities. As there
are no funds available for the purpose,
however, the officers taking part in
these steeple chase meets will have to
pay their own expenses. The number

GOTHAM LETTER

ing the privileges Of their hosteleries to
persons Of at least seeming respectable

fered severely for the untimely intrus'

she claims she did. AS the house was

 Bishop C. B. Galloway. Rev. I. c. Branscomb, pastor of the Tailadega Methodist Church, and Rev. J. H. Mc- Coy. pastor of the Five Points Metho- dist Church in Birmingham. have writ ten enthusiastically to Dr. Owen on the suggestion that the Conference in
 stitute historical society. The so- clety would have for its purpose the collection and preservation of all the records and general history of Metho- dism in North Alabama.
 As soon as the proposal of Director Owen reached influential members of the Conference, now at work at Ath- ems, 1t was directly taken up and was given over to a special committee. This committee Is composed of Rev. J. H. Mccoy, Rev. V. O. Hawkins and Rev. Harry Howard. It Is firmly believed mousiy in favor of the project, Ac- tion may be taken on the matter at this session.
 The letters of the Conference mem bsrs received yesterday agreed that such an undertaking as the organisa- tion of a society for historical pur- poses to be controlled by the Confer ence Is a welcome one.
 Director owen said yesterday that ne would try to get favorable action on like proposition from the Aiapama Methodist Conference which IS 70 mey. m December S at Dothan. He has ai- ready received general endorsement of the project by representatives or this Conference.
 The interest of the State Depart ment in enterprises of this kind Is man ifest.

 John Moore, one of the alleged negro
 swindlers, who fieeced their black
 brethren of $295.5O on Wednesday dur
 ing the visit of the Ringing circus,
 was positively identified yesterday at
 the police station by one of his vic
 tims. a black farmer from Bullock
 County.
 Moore apDeared f~ @ eoord -- -
 court yesterday afternoon to answer
 charges of embezzlement. He was clad in a suit of blue overalls to give the impression that he was a working nan, and wore pair of patent-leather shoes, which the police think shows hat he is not a working man. He vas represented by counsel and seemed perfectly at ease and familiar with .ourt methods.
 It will be remembered that Moore tnd Sim Saxon, who are believed tc be the men who relieved theii less wise brothers of Africa of large
 wallets by quick-chang methods, were
 found hidden in a steam calliope of the | .ircus just as the train was about to pull out for Tuscaloosa.
 Moore was identified by a country legro who was, robbed, and Saxon ls still held under charge of suspicion. The case against Moore was con tinued until today in order to give him opportunity to summon witnesses. he | intends to prove an alibi.
