MAYFIELD REPORTS ON
CODlFlCATION OF LAWS

and to raise the salaries of the judicial
servants of the state.
The report as submitted by Judge May
field covers 146 typewriter pages and is
divided into departments in which are
discussed all features of the new book
lie has noted carefully and in
detail all the changes that have
been made and has met the
new requirements of the law. Such in
Expectations as have been put upon laws
by the supreme court he has written in
and where decisions have been both ways
he has written a new law to meet the
conditions. He expresses appreciation for
the help he has received from his office
forces and those who have aided him in
any way.
The list of bills presented for passage
by the Legislature includes one for NUM-
cipal control one for UNIFORM negotiable
instruments and uniform written instru-
ments, one for the execution of local and
foreign wills. one to increase salaries of
judges. one for the sealing of deeds and
one providing for court reporters A
bill is also presented to regulating the
admission of lawyers to the bar
1t Is of interest to learn that the NUM-
cipal code bill is a practical reproduction
of the Walker bill, which was defeated
at the last session of the legislature to
the extent that no bill a all was passed
The fight between the friends of the
Walker bill and those of the goldsby
bill in the Senate became so warm that
neither ever saw the light, though the
new constitution had expressly made it
the duty of the legislature to adopt one
Its provisions are. therefore well known
to all who studied the Walker offer
ing.
The judiciary bill provides that the SAL
aries of circuit judge and chancellors be
raised to $500 a year with $500 for ex-
penses, and of the members of the su-
preme court to $4,000. Circuit judges and
chancellors now get $500 a year and su-
preme court justices $780,

Negro Services.

Much interest attaches here to a series
of meetings going on at the Dexter ave
nue. Colored Baptist church, under the
auspices of the Rev. G. IL. Phillips of
Richmond, one of the great negro revival
lists of the country. This church is under
the charge Ct G. II. JudlIins. a negro of
prominence in the church circles of the
state. and a graduate Of the TuslSegee
Normal institute. He has been engaged
ever since cmoing here in an effort to
make his people see the practical and SEN
sible things of life and follow them and
has made success of it.
As showing of the work being done
by Judkins it is recalled that few weeks
ago Booker Washington spoke there. at
which time he told the negroes their
duty and warned them. that if they al
lowed the boon of labor to get away
from them they would be lost, 1t was one
of the planest talks the negroes of the
city have ever had to listen to- and is
said to have made lasting impress
sion
Part of tine services of the week have
been put in at the negro normal school
near the city and the work there has
been given full examination. Both
preachers have been trying to show their
appreciation of the efforts of President
Patterson to get the best out of his pupils
there.

Montgomery. December 12.-(specia1.)-
The Montgomery freight bureau, of which
W. F. Vandiyer is president has de-
termined to make a fight before the in
terstate commerce commission for adjust
ment of rates from Ohio river points
along the lines that have been granted
to other cities of the southern territory,
notably Mobile and New Orleans. 1t is
averred that section of the interstate
laws have been violated by the rail lines,
and that Montgomery has suffered.
1t is reviewed in the petition that every
effort has been made TO bring about a
settlement of the troubles and that the
roads have recently refused to grant to
Montgomery reasonable aid along this
line. The work on the freight bureau
for some time Is gone over and 1t is
pointed out that the Montgomery terri
tory, which includes Selma, has been
given the hot end of it, so to speak, and
1t is proposed to make a fight That will
bring results or know the reason why.
Montgomery merchants claim that with
the rates allowed Mobile, Pensacola Bir-
mingham and Atlanta are such as to make
it impossible for the local dealers to meet
competition III Wllat Is I1ShtIuly their
territory and as a result good trade is
being lost all the time. Figures are
given to show in detail the causes of
complaint, and the fight is to be waged
conservatively but vigorously.
In this connection it is recalled that
Governor elect b. b.. Conner has just been
to Washington, where he saw President
Finley of the Southern and other rail-
road men and urged them to make am
effort to give Alabama better rates and
service

Much Negro Crime.

In a list of ffty-eight prisoners, SEN
fenced by Judge William II. Thomas in
the criminal court. fftysiX. or allbut
two. were negroes. This fact is COM
mented upon by those who are keeping
touch on the situation. 1t is also a fact
that all but about five of the lot We're
black negroes
In sentencing the prisoners Judge
Thomas remarked upon the great num-
Der of children in the lot. calling atten-
ton to the fact that they are going to
the penltentiary in greater numbers all
the time. lie did not know what TO think
of this condition, but deplored the increase
in crime among the negro children.
1t is also a matter of interest that Judge
Thomas said that he hoped the legislature
would make the offense of burglary in the
night time capital one, believing that a
person who goes into a house in the dark
will shoot or in other ways kill If caught
Later Judge Thomas said that he thought
such a law had become necessary in
Alabama, where the crime of burglary is
increasing.

That Municipal Bill.

The municipal bill presented to the gov
eronr by Code Commissioner Maylield re-
calls the rather hard fight over that
measure in the last session of the legis-
rature and also calls to mind the fact
that while the constitution said that such
a law was to be passed the lawmakers
kept SO busy disagreeng that it was not
done. The bill presented by Judge May
field is likely, therefore, to become in its
general provisions at least, a law.
This bill goes very fully into the ques-
tion of municipal control and government.

they are elected and what they shall do.
1t also provides how many officers a city

lines desired by officers of the many NUM-
