Petition Withdrawn.

The petition that has been be-
fore the county court for several
days asking that a vote be taken
in the county under the pro-
vision OF the County Unit Law,
has been withdrawn by a com
mittee representing the peti.
tioners. 1t is supposed the
reason for the action was on oc-
count of some similar test cases
on In two or three counties and
will be settled by appeals to the
Court of Appeals in due time.
The petitions asking for separ-
ate elections in Madisonville.
Dawson and Nortonville were
also withdrawn and consequent

SEEKS HIS LIBERTY
CONVICT SUCCESSFUL IN HABEAs CORPUS HEARING.
Decision of Chancellor whfteside In Favor of 30-Year Convfct---Ap- pealed to Supreme Court
 By the State.

Anniston Jan. .--(Special )---Before Judge W. ". whiteside. chancellor for this district. there was tried and, de- cided case of great and unusual im- portance. It was habeas corpus pro- ceedings in which Levi J. Fuller. who was serving a thirty years sentence in the penitentiary. sought to regain his liberty. Fuller was indicted and tried twice in the circuit court of Cleburne county some ten years ago. Each time he was convicted of murder in the first degree and each time the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower court. After the second reversal. the legislature passed an act creating the county court of Cleburne. invested 1t with concurrent Jurisdiction with the circuit court, and transferred allAcrim- inai cases pending in the circuit court to the newly established county court.
 The point in the case of Fuller, on the habeas corpus trial, was whether that act was constitutional in so far as 1t sought to deprive the circuit court of juricdiction to try indictments found by a grand jury of that court. The chancellor held that the circuit court could not be deprived of it's constitu- tional right to try criminal eases by legislative enactment and ordered the petitioner to be discharged. From this order, the State has appealed to the Supreme Court.
 In the hearing before Judge John Pelham. in the mandamus proceedings brought by the patrons of the Valley View school against J. M Lusk and R. l.. King as trustees of the thirteenth school district, it was decided that the mandamus should issue, and that the district trustees should employ teacher for Valley View, where the county board have located public school. The trustees have refused to school, though the patrons have done so, but none of the public funds can go toward defraying the expenses of the school unless a contract be made with the trustees. The mandamus pro- ceedings Is to compel the trustees to contract with a teacher for Valley View. The defendants, it is said, will appeal to the Supreme Court. and to cover damages which might accrue to the schools interests, Judge Pelham fixed a bond for $500.
 John Barnes, aged eighteen years, son of Mir. and Mrs. Robert Barnes. died at 7.30 o'clock Tuesday morn ing at the home of his parents near Weaver's Station, having been a pa- tfent sufferer for some time with men fngitis. He was well known in the vicinity where he lived.
 The general merchandise store of Owen Brothers on East Tenth street was burglarized some time Monday night or early Tuesday morning and cash to the amount of about $I was taken.

WANTED TO FIGHT
MIR. HAMILTON ANGERED BY DEM-
 OCRAT's HAPPINESS.
Chairman Committee on Territories Says He Has Nothing to ApolO- gixe for and Makes for
 Mir, Lloyd.

Washington, Jan. fs.--There was another stormy meeting Of the House Committee on Territories to- day. Chairman Hamilton and Repre- sentative Lloyd had an angry exchange of words over Mir. Hamilton's former position on Statehood. Former Cover nor Murphy of Arizona declared it was useless to appear before the committee as the verdict was signed and sealed against them. He denounced as false the charge of corruption made against the Arizona men who oppose joint Statehood.
 Members of the anti-joint Statehood League of Arizona were again before the committee but they played a less important part in the hearing than Representative Hamilton Republican, SMich.) and Representative Lloyd (Dem- ocrat, Mo.ls who had a tilt which threatened to end in blows.
 MT. Hamilton was asked questions showing his leaning toward, joint Statehood when MT. Lloyd remarked that the change in the attitude of Mir. Hamilton on Statehood was most re- markable.
 Mir. Hamilton denied emphatically that he had changed front, and Mir. Lloyd then said it was strange that the smember from Michigan had not joined in minority report against individual Statehood when the House Committee on Territories at a former session of Congress reported favorably on a meas ure to admit Arizona and New Mexico.
 Mir. Hamilton explained that he was in Michigan attending convention at the time the committee took the action and consequently was in no way re- sponsibIe for it.
 Mr. Lloyd said he would accept the apology and the Michigan member an- grily declared he made no apology and started from his chair. He subse- quently regained his composure, how ever, and the hearing continued.
 H. o. Murphy, former Governor of Arizona, made a heated speech, de- mining interests were using corrupt methods to defeat the joint Statehood bill.
 T hereby denounce as false. libellous and sIanderous any charge of corrup- tion, regardless of where it comes from" said MT. Murphy. T feel 1t is utterly futile for us to appear before this committee and discuss our views on Statehood. The verdict Is signed and sealed against us. But I cannot refrain from denouncing the charge of corruption against our party. It would be just as fair to credit a report that hands are being put into the Govern ment purse to take money for buildings, to be used in passing the joint State- hood bill"
 MT. Hamilton warned Mir. Murphy to be temperate In his statements, and not to say anything which would reflect on either of the national legislative bodies.
 Delegates Smith of Arizona made an impassioned speech, in which he stated positively that every man in the Art- zona party was paying his own ex- penses and was in no sense a repre- sentative 0 fany corporate interest.
