ADJUDGED GUILTY
 ON THREE CHARGES
REV. WALKER, PASTOR OF COL ORED CHURCH FINED $20-HE WAS CHARGED WITH REFUSING TO PAY CAR FARE, ETC.

The Rev. T. w. Walker, pastor Of the Shiloh Baptist church (colored), and leader of his race in Birmingham, was found guilty yesterday morning in the po- lice court of refusing to pay his car fare on a street car, of disorderly conduct and of resisting arrest.
 The total amount of the fines imposed was $20 Walker immediately, through his attorney, Vassar Allen, took an appeal, making bond in the sum of $150.
 As far as the police department is con- cerned, this interesting case, which had it's beginning November Il, is ended. On account of the defendants prominence in colored circles, the trial created no little attention Walker Is pastor of one of the most prominent colored churches of the city, and that he was charged with being disorderly and with resisting the police officers when under arrest was the cause of quite a stir among his congregation. Every hearing of the case was attended by a large number of colored people.
 It was learned yesterday that the rec ommendation of Mayor Ward that the commission inquire into the conduct or Officer Smith in affecting the arrest Will not be considered unless Walker himself prefers formal charges and makes the proper affidavits.
 As Judge Feagins decision practically exonerated the officer, 1t seems improb- able that Walker will swear to the afii- davits.

CONGESTED COURTS
 CAUSE DISCUSSION
Bills Read and Ordered Published. Bessemer Court a Live Issue
 In the Debates.

The adjourned meeting of the Birming ham Bar association convened yesterday
 morning in the first division of the city court to hear the report of the committee entrusted with the drafing of a bill to
 consolidate the courts of Jefferson coun- ty. In the absence of Judge Howze, City
 Attorney D. D. Smith presided over the | meeting
 Attorney G. k. Harsh read two bills
 which he had prepared, one providing for four additional judges in the city and circuit court, and the other providing for a consolidation of all the courts of rec
 ord in Jefferson county, except tho pro bate, into one court to be known as the
 circuit court of Jefferson county" hay ing nine judges.
 The first bill had been discussed at a
 previous meeting and was adopted without | much comment. but the consolidated court bill called forth a very lively debate. When MT. Harsh concluded the reading
 of the bill the question was asked if the
 Bessemcr court was included in the con solidation.
 Attorney Pinckney Scott of Bessemer speaking for the bench and bar of that city, made vigorous speech in favor of leaving the Bessemer court out of the
 matter altogether. He said all they
 wanted was to repeal the Morrow bill and beyond that they asked to be left to themselves. A warm debate followed
 in which Capt, Frank S. White, Col S. w.
 John, Attorneys Charles c. Brown, Felix
 Blackburn, Lee Bradley and several others took part.
 After much discussion q resolution was adopted directing that two consolidated court bills be prepared. one to include the Bessemer court and the other to omit the Bessemer court, and that these be published at once.
 A committee consisting Of Attorneys c.
 r. Beddow, C. c. Nesmith and Leo Ober- dorfer, was appointed to collect the money required to pay for the publication of the bills.
 Several lawyers in discussing the ques- tion later during the day said 1t was very likely that the bills which would even tualy be passed by the legislature would differ materially from the bills under con sideration.

bile, Father OBrien from Anniston, Fath- CT Henry from Decatur and Father Downs from Blocton.
 All day yesterday visitors were calling at the rectory to view the remains and offer a prayer for the repose of the soul of their beloved pastor. The dead priest. robbed in his sacerdotal vestments and clasping chalice in his failed hands pre- sented a picture of sanctity and calm re- pose. On his breast lay the patten, which together with the chalice, the dead man had used so often in celebrating the holy sacrafice of the mass. The fiickering tapers shed a soft light on the pale, cold brow and the quiet voices of the nuns who came and went combined to make the scene singularly impressive and sad.
 Father Galland was a native of A1sace and was 35 years of age at the time of his death. He came to the United Stases when 16 years old and after a short term spent in North Carolina went to a the ological seminary in Cincinnati, where he was afterwards ordained by Bishop o'Sul- livan.
 Father Galland was pastor of St. Cath erene's chruch in Pratt City for over seven years and succeeded the late Very Rev. Dean Meurer as pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, about eight months ago. He was truly q pastor of his flock, not only attending to their spiritual wants but entering into all their labors in a spirit of sympathy and benevo- lence. His death is profoundly lamented not only among the members of his con- gregation but by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Considerate Highhaymen
 Leabe Victim His ObeYcOaf

While going through the pockets of C.. w Harman last night, two negro high waymen displayed unusual coolness by carrying on a pleasant conversation over their victim. The boldnes sof the negroes is further indicated in the fact that they held up MT. Harman immediately behind the Hillman hotel, almost in ear shot of police headquarters. While one held a pistol at Harman's head, the other deftly rified his pockets, stealing s6 and some change and a gold watch valued at $50.
 Mr. Harman in reporting the matter to the police, could hardly keep from laugh ing ''Yo see this overcoat?' said he.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-12-09

Well, the robbers, after considering the matter, kindly left it in my possession.
 Tt is the winter season. said one of the negroes, as he took the money from my pocket, and l think we will do well to leave him the coat This they did. After taking my money and watch, they grum- bled that I had no more money and final ly ordered me to 's1iddoo. ?"
 Mr. Harman gave a description of the man who stood in front of him with the drawn revolver. but of the other he could tell little. From the story of MT. liar man, they went through" him with as much 'nonchalance" as if they had been on a Sunday afternoons stroll.
