May Send Williams Case Back to Gull
 man County.
 Birmingham. Aug 1.-(Special. J.. There is an inclination to the belief ehat when the John Williams case is taken up again on Monday. August G.. Judge Weaver will refer the habeas corpus to sock a trial by jury to in. vestigate whether the condemned Gull man County farmer is sane or not. to the trial fudge in Cul1man County.
 Judge Weaver Is still reading up the law on the case. He will probably have a brief ready when the case Is called again. While the judge maintains that he had the right to say whether or not Williams should be given the privilege of a hearing, he Is not fully satisfied that he is the magistrate who should determine whether or not the condition of the prisoner warrants the appoint inent of a commission to look into his sanity.
 Williams has very little to say in his lonely cell Tn the county jail. He talks very little to the guard who is sitting at all times in his sight s He still maintains that he Is not insane. HHis attorneys are busy on the case. The court will be crowded 70 the doors Monday when the case is again called up. There are some who believe that Williams will have until September, at least, beffre being ad- judged sane or insane.

NICK OVERLOOKED THE
UNION LABEL

CINCINNATI, Nov. 6.-The OPP
position Of union labor interests to
Congressman LongwoIth and Goe-
bel was raised to the last notch by
an action of the two congressman,
which, it is claimed, was mad
vertent.
Last night there as displayed in
every labor union campaign cards
issued by the two congressman.
The cards did not bear the union
label.
Longworth and Goebel simulta-
neously had printed large num-
Der of cards. The printing was
done in a non-union shop. AS soon
as the discovery was made by the
union labor men it became noised
about, and emissaries were hur-
ried to the Offices of the congress
men.
Every effort was made by The
congressman to recall the cards,
but hundreds of them had been
given out.

The vote this morning was very
light, comparatively, and not much
excitement was evidenced until
the noon hour, when there was a
rush of voters. After that things
subsidized until about 2 O'Clock,
when more stir was created and
after that a steady stream Of votes
came in until 4 o'clock. At both
democratic and republican head
quarters reports tendt o show a
light vote compared to the rcgistra-
ton in the city. The Second ward
is expected to go strongly republi-
can, but not so solid as was predict.
ed a week ago when Dutch Jake
Dempsey and other interests were
working hard for the republicans
Dutch jake" it is claimed, for
saw the labor vote lining up
against the republicans and pulled
off some of his men. This show
of a. lack of confidence communi.
Gated itself to others and as the re-
suit the "tenderloin" element is
not so busy knitting the democrats
as was expected.
Dempsey, however, is boosting
strongly for the republicans, which
evens up the lack of aggressiveness
on the part of the "Dutcn Jake

BAD M|XUP
IN MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS, Nov. 6.-Every pol
itician in this city today defied the
orders of Mayor Malone and obeyed
Vice Mayor Walsh. Governor Cox
has been asked to order militia to
assume control of the election.
Malone is supporting the reform
legislative ticket. Walsh is with
the liberals. When the mayor
tried to assume control of the po-
lice and ordered reassignment Of
patrolmen, Chief Chavez refused to
obey. The chief was suspended
and Captain Perry appointed chief.
The patrolmen then quit. Perry
resigned after two hours, in the
meantime being suspended by
Chavez, who said his own suspen-
sion was illegal.
Malone appointed Sergeant Hays
chief and issued a statement say
ing the police must obey him or
he would forcibly remove their
badges.
The mayor, with the new chief,
Hayes, visited all the wards of the
city personally and ascertained
that all but so patrolmen will obey.
These were suspended, but allowed
to remain at their posts.
