 IS ARRESTED IN MONTGOMERY

tinued Mir. Railey, HI want to get my child back. If she will return the lit- tie girl to nie I have no Idea of fur ther prosecutfon."
 The mother and child sat at one end Of the court room surre unded by at torney5 she had emLluyed, while the father and his counsel sat together m apctber corner of the court room. Wife and husband did not speak.
 A man, a stranger he was, entered the room abruptly while Mir. Railey was recounting his troubles. The individ- ual, whose name was unknown, pro- ceeded toward Mrs. Railey and the two held brief conversation. The stran- ger was infinitely eyed by Mir. Raiiey.
 T think there's the man who caused me all my trouble" said Mir Hailey. ''Do any of you gentlemen know his name?'
 No one knew the stranger.
 T feel. positive that's the man. con- tinued the husband, T am going to lice at Macon told me to have him ar- rested If ever saw him. If ever get him back in Macon twill fix him"
 But Mir, Railey was not certain he had singled out the right person. in a. second the stranger departed. No arrest was made.
 The habeas corpus proceedings did not go to trial before Judge. Thomas An agreement was reached between counsel for husband and wife whereby the little daughter was given into tho custody of the child's father to be taken to her grandfather, J. NJ haffey, 4 grocer of Columbus. Ga. Mrs. Railey was ordered released from custody and it was understood that she is to be al. lowed to sec her child occasionally.
 Father and daughter left the coura room hand in hand to take the next train to Columbus. The wife remained behind with tears in her eyes watching her child disappear fin the. haze yot the late evening. She soon left the court room and went nc one knew where
 1t was a scene that aroused the pity 'of every one in attendance on the court Throughout the proceedings the little girl was apparently unaware of the se riousness of the situation.
 Mir. Railey and his wife formerly re- sided in Montgomery. For some time he was employed here as a street ear conductor. He went from here to Mo- bile about a year ago and removed to Macon about two weeks ago.
 Mrs. Raiiey was arrested by Patrol men MurrelI and Swearingen at SIS Pelham Street. She is young woman of prepossessing address.
 Whether Mfr. Railey will undertake. to prosecute the man who caused hls trouble was not definitely settled last night.

special Act of Legislature Authorities Hoard of Revenne to AppRo- priate Money--Mr. Tough
 ton iM Saffsfed.

Will Montgomery County ofacials be affected by the opinion of Attorney General Wilson on- which State Exam lner German found officials of Lee County to be due approximately $20,-
 This question was uppermost in the minds Of Montgomery readers of The Advertiser when they digested the re- port of Examiner German on Lee Coun- ", as published in The Advertiser yes- tegday rnorning.
 The. report of the State Examiner showed that some s20,000 had been ape propriated illegally by the Board ut County Commissioners of Lee County Tor Items not authorized by acts of the Legislature.
 rIs Montgomery County in the same t1x?' was asked President M. E. Hough- ton of the Board of Revenue of this county yesterday.
 No" replied Mfr. Houghton. Mont gomery County is not in the same fix as Lee County. All money for neees- sary articles for the jail and court house is paid out on reuuIsition by the Sher- IT. And we have right to pay money this way under a special act of the Leg isiature for Montgomery County. can't see that we are in similar con- dition at all ~
 County Attorney ". M. Biakey was asked his opinion last night regarding the effect the Attorney Generals opin- ion on Montgomery County, but he as4not prepared to express an opin- ion until he had fully investigated the law. He, was, however, inclined to be- lieve that the Board has the right to expend funds for necessities. F
 It will be remembered that q nun Der of iteins for which Examiner Cor man says the funds of Lee County were illegally expended were for such things as ice. .typewrlters and telephone ser- vice.
 Several Montgomery County oniciaIs. when asked yesterday for their views on the conditions found by the Exam finer in Lee County and if the criticism would apply to Montgomery County. spoke lightly of it, saying that Mont gomeTy would not be affected.
 .s At a recent meeting of the Board of Revenue, about $60 was appropriate6 to pays for blanlSats.. comforts and pii- lows, purchased by Sheriff Waller for jurors serving in the Criminal Court. The money was appropriated only after 9 lengthy discussion in which the po- sition was taken by Mir. Matthews of the Board that Montgomery County had no legal right to pay the money.

New York, Dec 1s Many theatri . cal 'niafiagers and thsater owners in this city received yesterday volume of one hundred pages entitled safe guarding of life in theatres" Within the next fortnight managers the coun- try over, libraries city departments and individuals will receive copies of the work @
 The book is the bound report of John R. Freeman, president of the American Society of Mechanical Engin- eers, which was read Rt the annual meeting of the society held in thls city December 4.
 Back of President Freeman's inves- tigation. which led to the report, is a pathetic story hlnted at in a brief exr planatory note on the fly leaf. This note says;
 "On the day following the burning of the Iroquois Theatre, citizen of Chirago. who had lost two little nieces in the fire. asked a friend, who had for many years made fire prevention study. to go to Chicago immediately to investigate means for rendering such fearful disasters impossible.
 "The work was undertaken earnest 'ly in the hope that good might he accomplished. and this report was presented at a meeting of one of the great national engineering societies in order t6 give publicity and invite dis cussion
 While the man who summoned Mir. Freeman to Chicago is not named 1t Is understood that he Is Charles R. Crane. wealthy steel manufacturer. He instructed Mir Freeman to spare neither time or expense in making his investigation and as a result thou sands of dollars were expended and the most complete and exhaustive re. port ever made on the subject was compiled.
 The book contains data and tables which have taken two years to ar range, and scores of illustrations and diagrams which will be of great value to builders of theatres.
