judge and the two district judges. 1t is
but scant Justice to the patriotic citizen
who is Judge of the Northern and Middle
districts to say that he has labored UNI
ceasingly and unselfshly with the bur-
dens that have fallen to MN. The bar
of Alabama feel that they owe something
to their judges. Why should they be
forced TO hold courts at Birmingham In
September when the state courts will not
sit in that unpleasant weather in our
climate? Why should the federal courts be
forced to go back to such an unpleasant
season, when the objections to ii induced
Congress to change the date for the fall
term to November? The people and law
yers In places outside of Birmingham do
not desire any advantage over the peo-
pie there. They feel kcenfy that the evil
of present conditions due to want of
sufficient supply of judicial force In
the courts of the United States here is
burden which should be shared equally
by all places. They insist that no one
place be selected and given an advantage
over all the other places
The great majority of the lawyers in
this state were entirely unaware, after
the effort to secure the additional judge
had been abandoned, that any attempt
would be made TO adjust the situation
by giving Birmingham what Is more than
one-half of the time of the judges of
the two districts, when we consider the
business he will have to do from Bir-
mingham, although absent from there
without making some adequate and fair
provision for the needs of the Middle dis
trict and the three other places in which
courts are to be held in the Northern
district. We had no opportunity to point
out the great evils and injustice to other
sections which will result from the bill

Has Four Spare Months.

The Judge has only four spare months
on the bench after giving six months TO
birmingham to devote to the other four
places in the two districts. If he de-
votes these four months to Huntsville
and Admission, it would leave Tuscaloosa
and the whole Middle district unproyided
for at all. save as outside help could be
sent there. If the judge gave these four
months to the Middle district, it would
about half take care of the work there
and leave out Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and
Admission. Judge Toulmln presides over
an admiralty court at Mobile which re-
ouires his presence there every few weeks.
He has already given what time he could
TO the Northern district. and is often
designated to answer urgent calls at other
places. If the judges who have been help
ing at Huntsville and Admission have to
concentrate on Birmingham that Judge
Jones may look after the Middle district
and do his part of the work at Blrming
ham. the courts al Tuscaloosa, Hunts
Vile and Admission would suffer.
Leaving the bankruptcy business out
of view for the present it viii be
seen that the southern division OF the
Northern district has civil, criminal and
equity cases amounting To iaS, while the
Middle district Huntsville. Anniston and
Tuscaloosa have 81, over - per cent
more cases in tile latter places than at
Birmingham. The bankruptcy business
which the Judge transaets. follows him.
and it is safe to say that one-half of
that business for the southern division
Of the Northern district Is transacted by
the Judge when in other places out OF
the time that should go TO them
Judge Shelbys duties in the court Of
appeals are exacting. When not on the

EVIDENCE TAKEN
 DIAMOND CASE ROSeDStiea beiceS That he Changed Stones in
 PaWRed Ring

H. Rosensteiu, proprietor Of the Uncle Sam store, who is charged with changing a diamond in a ring pawned to him by w. R. English, was arraigned before Justice Murphy yes. terday. After hearing the evidence Justice Murphy took the matter un, der advisement until Monday morn ing al 10 o'clock, at which time he will render decision. Attorney Sauer, of Lowell, prosecuted the case for English, Rosenstein being defend. ed by Attorney Tom Bennett.
 English had witnesses to prove the diamond in the ring when he re- deemed it was not the same stone the ring contained when it was pawned. This he sought to prove by means of a defect in the bottom of the stone. Mrs. English also testified that the stone had been changed.
 Rosenstein swore that if the stone had been changed, he did not know it, but that it might have been possible for this to have been done. His book-keeper testified that he believed the diamond in the ring when deliv- cred was the same as the one in the ring when pawned. He said he re- garded it impossible for the stones to be changed, as the envelope in which it was kept apparently had not been opened. Mrs. Rosenstein was placed on the stand. her testimony corroboraIing that of the other wit resses for the defendant.
 The case was turned over to the court without argument from either of the attorneys.

SHOOTS TO KILL
 TWO COAL THIEVES

By fastening string to a sack of coal on the back porch, running it in. side the building, tying 1t to an empty bucket, J. L. O'Shea, night manager of the restaurant in the Calumet sa loon, discovered yesterday morning about i o'clock that he was being robbed
 O'Shea grabbed a 44-caIibre Colts revolver, rushed out the back door just in time to see two Mexicans run. ming up O. K. street and past the Re. view building. He opened fire When he discharged the first shot, the Mexicans only inQreas V their pace. but when he let go the second time. one of them stopped.
 With his smoking Colts in one hand, O'Shea rushed up the street 10 where one of the Mexicans was standing and grabbed him. He saw the other dis. appear down the iron stairway in front of the Pythian building and into Brewery Gulch, but could not get a chance to shoot.
 Officer Thompson was telephoned news of the robbery and in few min. utes was on the scene, taking charge of the Mexican and placing him in the branch county jail. He stated as he took charge of the man that he had arrested him a few days before for stealing a sack of coal.
 O'Shea is inclined to think that he hit the Mexican who got away. He says that he took deliberate aim, and if he did not hit him, it was because Of faulty aim, and not because of lack of intention on his part
 The only place the restaurant peo- pie have 10 put their coal is on the back porch, which affords but little protection against thieves. For some time they have been losing their fuel. and to trap the next thief, O'Shea h;t upon the plan of tying the string 10 a sack set out as a decoy. He is satisfied with the manner in which it worked
 The Mexican arrested was given a partial hearing before Justice Me Donald yesterday. but owing to the illness of an important witness, it was continued to Monday.
 The Mexican claims that he hap pened to be walking on O. K. street at the time O'Shea fired the two shots, not because he was the guilty party, because be thought someone was try ing to kill him.

0. R. & n. TO Fight
joint WHEAT rate

Portland, Or, Aug. 2O.-The Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company
will resist the joint wheat rate between
Northern Pacific and O.. r. & N. COM
petitive points in the interior to Port
land and the Sound. This rate, lately
announced by the Washington rail
road comission orders the O. r. & N.
Company to carry wheat to the Sound
at the same rate that is charged to
Portland
The steps taken to oppose the joint
tariff will be petition to the United
States court for the Western division
of Washington for an Injunction. This
request will be based on the alleged
unconstitutionality of the action Of
the Washington railroad commission.
The papers have been prepared under
the direction of w. w. Cotton, chief
Of the Hartman advisers in the North
west and will be forwarded to Tacoma
during the day. The injunction will
come before Judge Hanford, of Seattle.
The injunction will contain four or
i've grounds for the action, but the
chief one urged will be that OF uncon-
stltutionality.

APPROPRIATIONS near
BILLION DOLLAR MARK

Washington, Aug. 21.-According to
q statement just issued by Thomas p.
Cleaver and James G. Courts, chief
clerks respectively of the senate and
house committees on appropriations,
congress at its last session appropriated
for the fiscal year 1907 nearly billion
dollars. The exact amount is $685.
589. 1856. Is, representing an increase of
$50, 404, $50. 20 over the sum apropria-
ted by the previous session for the
year 1906.
The largest item is contained in the
appropriation for the postofice depart
ment, the amount allotted being $195, :
6s5, 9ss. The next largest sum was
given for pensions, the money appro-
priated amounting to $40, 245, 500, or
nearly twice as much as was allowed
for the support of the army and over
$40, OOO, 900 more than was granted for
the naval estimates.
OF the net increase of nearly sixty
millions over 1906, it is stated that
&42, 447, 200 was for the isthmian ca
nal, the balance being accounted for
through appropriations for the carry
ing out of tho meat inspection law,
the continuance Of contracts for river
and harbor work, the reorganization
Of the diplomatic and consular service
and the extension Of the rural free de-
livery service.

MIGHT SAVE NICHOLAS
Disgraced Gen. Kuropatkin Said. to Be
Only One Who Can Hold Army

OnIy OuS w ~ SoAA AAOA0 $SAAAsy
st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-ls Gen.
Kuropatkin, once the pride OF the en-.
tire Russian army, but whose laurels
were trampled under foot by the VIC
torious Japanese at Liao Yang in the
earlier days of the fighting in North
ern Manchuria, to be vindicated?
That is the question uppermost in the
mind of every officer of the army and
also the chief topic of discussion at
the military clubs, the question aris-
ing through the Industrious circula-
ton of report that the czar has sent
for the general and intends to place
him once again at the head Of the de-
partment of war. Such action would
overthrow all ancient traditions, but
it is apparently necessary.
Kurokpatkin is the one man in all
Russia who is in position to reor-
ganize the army. He is loved by the
common soldiers, who believe that he
is the only officer of general rank who
has their interest at heart. If entrust-
ed with the task Of bringing back the
allegiance Of the troops to the little
father" he could do it, and the knowl-
edge that this is so is responsible for
the belief that he is to come into his
own again. Since his return from the
front, a disgraced and brokenhearted
man, the general has been in retire
ment at his mothers home, but it is
generally expected that he will soon
be back in the capital in his old posi-
ton as minister of war.

during the summer, has been set for
September 10 at Vancouver, B. @. At

British Columbia, including the work
ings of the hatcheries and the need for

The members of the commission

sound, with view to becoming more
familiar with fisheries conditions here.
They have inspected traps, nets, can
neries and everything connected with
the catching and packing OF the fish.
They met at Bellingham Tuesday
afternoon and went over the salmon
situation simply with q view to sascer-
tanning conditions, and no matter Of
policy was discussed. They will take
that up at the Septem Der meeting.

DRAGO DOCTRINE TO GO
TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL

Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 23.-The In
ternational American conference has
adopted with slight technical modifi-
cation the Mexican convention rela-
tive to the exercise of the liberal pro-
LESSONS.
The resolution recommending the
submission Of the Drago doctrine on
the matter of the use Of force for the
collection of public debts to The Hague
tribunal, was adopted unanimously.
The preamble states that no definite
conclusion was proposed by this con-
ference, composed exclusively Of rep
resentatives OF American countries,
but that the principle in question
should be passed on by an assembly
composed Of representatives Of all ma
tions. as the principle affects the in
ternal sovereignty and rights of ma
lions.
It further expresses the opinion that
the declaration should be extended to
cover all controversies having pecun-
iary origin. The resolution recon-
mends that the governments represent
ed in this conference consider the
point of inviting the second confer
ence of The Hague tribunal to con-
slider the question of the compulsory
collection of public debts, and, in gen.
eral. means tending to diminish be-
tween nations conflicts having exclu-
sive pecuniary origin.
