4. H. HANDY KILLED BY M. B. CHANDLER Trouble Arose Over Game of
 Billiards Yesterday SELF DEFENSE CLAIMED Alleged Handy Was Advancing on Chandler With Knife When
 Shot-Both Prominent
 in Bessemer.
SELF DEFENSE CLAIMED

Bessemer June 17.-(Special )-What is regarded as one of the most deplorable affairs that has occurred in Bessemer for a long time was the killing of A. H. Handy by NJ B. Chandler as the result of dispute over a game of billiards this afternoon at about o'clock at Eagles hall.
 According to the statement of an eye witness, the men had finished game which Handy declared that Chandler, being the looser, should pay for. All though Handy was supported in his claim by the lodge porter, who was a witness of the game, Chandler would not ae- knowledge his defeat and refused to pay the GUS stomary sum required by the lodge treasury of the looser In contest. The witness states that Handy than threaten ed to report Chandler to the lodge unless he paid for the game. and the difference growing warmer Handy drew a knife and advanced on Chandler. Before he had reached Chandler, however the for mer drew revolver and shot five times at Handy, one of the shots taking effect near the heart and causing almost in stant death. The weapon used was of 3S-caliber.
 The remains of Mir. Handy were taken to the Kennedy undertaking establish ment to be prepared for burial. MT Chandler was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Rush Randall and lodged in the county jail in Birmingham on the charge of murder. When seen in his cell Mir. Chandler stated that he had no state ment to make further than that the kill ing was done in self-defence and that up to the time of the trouble he had been on friendly terms with MT. Handy.
 The statements of MT. Chandler and the eye witness. whose name is withheld, are substantiated. in so much that a knife was found on the floor under the body of the dead man.
 The affair Is causing widespread regret in the city. Both of the men were prom inent in the business world. MT. Chandler being senior member of the firm of Chandler Bros, wall paper dealers, and MT. Handy being a well known coal man of the town. Mir. Handy was about 34 nee Miss Cora Carter. and by two young children by a former marriage.
 Miss Myrtle Green of Annston returned home today after a pleasant visit to MT. and Mrs. T. J. Bssett on Third avenue.

 It has been repeatedly rumored for the past three monhs that the Gadsden Car Works, which are owned and operated by the Alabama Great Southern railroad in this city would be removed to Attalla The rumors have been set to rest for all time to cone by the announcement from high offiial sources which state that such a sttp was never considered The Attalla blsiness men made offers and tried to gd the shops removed to that place. but i was never considered it seems. The Alabama Great Southern made surveys for new trackage facilities in At talla and this Is the principal source of the rumor that he car shops would go there. The shop have proven a great success since th.ir operation was com menced last fall and will be doubled in size as previouslf announced within the present year.
 The entire city was aroused from its morning slumbers at 3 o'clock this morn- ing by the fire be1s. pistol shots and the blowing of whistles. From the noise created 1t was thought the entire city was in flames. Tie fire proved to be in City Warden Farrsw's wood house. which had caught fire fpm the combustion of barrel of lime which had been wet for the purpose of slaking the evening be- fore.

"PistOl TOter's" Liable to q Jail sen
tenCe After July q.

An important act passed by the re-
cent Legislature, known as the pistol
Toter's" Act, becomes effective July
y. 1t is expected that this law will
prove very effective in breaking up
the habit of carrying concealed weap-
ons, as the Judge in all such cases is
compelled not only to assess fine,
but also to give the convicted party a
Jail sentence as well. !
This law that becomes effective this
week provides that any person who
shall carry weapon, such as pistol,
a bowie knife, dirk or razor, shall,
upon conviction, suffer a fine of not
less than 800 nor more than $500, and
Imprisonment not less than sixty days
or more than six months in the parish
jail. If this measure is enforced, the
officials claim that it will break up,
to great extent, the habit of carrying
concealed weapons.
The district judges, by the terms of
the act, are directed to specially charge
their juries in regard to the provis-
ions of this law, directing them to look
into all violations. Sheritfs and dep
uty sheritfs. town marShallS, c0nSta-
bles, and policemen are the only ones
that are exempt from the provisions
of the act.
