GILMER RESENTED
 WEARING SHACKLES
PRISONER TRIED FOR REFUSING TO ORk-ANTIPATHY DUE TO DIFFERENCE IN NATIONALITIES. CITY GUARD JAILED.

Trouble that had been brewing for some time between Albert Gilmer, white pris- oner and Street Guard Murray. burst into flame yesterday afternoon fin the police court.
 Gimer was charged by the street guard with refusing to work. After hearing the case, Judge Feagin added one day to the prisoners time on the street
 The most interesting feature of the case, however, was the imprisonment of Guard Murray by Judge Feagin, 1t be- ing charged that he was in contempt of court. During the progress of the trial. Mr. Murray loudly branded some testimony of the defendant as being a lie.
 The warden of the city jail believes that the cause of the anlmosity between the prisoner and the guard is due to the different nationalities of the parties MT. Murray Is an Irishman Mir. Gilmer is d Scotchman. For some reason, Mir. Mur- ray made MT. Gilmer wear shacl<es on his legs. Mir. Gllmer. it is said. was the only one of the entire gang subjected to this punishment. He was naturally re- sentful. Several days ago, it is charged. that when Murray ordered the shackles placed on the prisoners legs, the latter addressed profane remarks to him. The prisoner told the court that he was or dered to work without his coat, and that as 1t was very cold, he declined to do so believing that the order came as d. result of the guards personal dislike. The trial occupied about an hours time, and kept the spectators interested.

REUF CASE IS CAUSING
 GREATEST SENSATION

San Francisco, November 2-The asgu- ment on the restraining order brought by District Attorney Langdon to prevent Abraham Reuf from taking possession of the office of district attorney. and to de- feat the action of the board of supervi- sors in busting Langdon and appointing Reuf to that offio was begun before Superior Judge Seawel today. Two separ- ate answers to the complaint were pre- sented; one on behalf of Reuf, the other on behalf of the board of supervisors Each answer was accompanied by affi- davits, denying the allegations in Hen ey's original complaint, which charged felonies to Reuf and to the seventeen supervisors.
 The court room was crowded
 District Attorney Langdon was present and with him were his assistants, Fran eis J. Heney, Charles w. Nobb and Her bert Johnson. Reuf was represented by Samuel Shortridge and Henry Ach, and the members of the board of supervisors were represented by William B. Baggett and Jack Williams, of the city attorney s office. Reuf arrived after the proceedings had begun. He was accompanied by his body guard.
 Attorney Johnson, addressing Judge Sea- wei said:
 'One reason that Reuf and the super visors were restrained is because they were engaged in conspiracy to obstruct the administration of justice. The district attorney was engaged in an investigation of certain crimes of Abraham Reuf, who

 "The Home Coming Week. beginning october 15 will bring many Alabamans from afar and the exies are invited to come in these words: They will find the fields they knew more fruitful now, the once pine groves given over to cotton, corn and other cereals. They will find that we are making the price of pig iron for the world, and that steel is produced in large quantities. both industries being comparatively new. They will find hives of industry in this great mineral belt undreamed of a few years ago, while a marvellous prosperity from border to bor- der lights up every community and al most every home

MIRTH AND MUSIC
 PLEASE AUDIENCE
RALPH BINGHAM ENTERTAlNs A LARGE ASSEMBLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL AuDIToRlUM-JUsTIcE BREWER TO LECTURE NOV. a2.

The High school auditorium was thronged last night in anticipation of the entertainment announced under the au- spices of the Lyceum. course committee.
 Shortly after o'clock Superintendent of Public Schools W. |. Phillips came forward to announce that the next num- Der in the Lyeeum course would be a lec- ture by Mrs. Martha Glelow on Folklore of the South'' to be delivered on Thurs day, November b, and that Judge Brewer, associate justice of the United States supreme court, would deliver a lecture on Friday, November %. his subject being "A Good Time Coming or 9The Ult- mate Triumph of Justice"
 Superintendent Phillips expressed him self as being at d loss to know how to introduce such popular and well known person as Ralph Bingham, whose name was a household word not only in the fish language was spoken He consid- cred it best" he said, to let Mr. Bing- ham introduce himself"
 MT. Bingham was warmly applauded on making his appearance. He imme- diately caught the attention of the audi eDle by some facetious remarks he made about people who come late to shows in order to give the public the benefit of seeing their new hat or set of furs
 It would be idle to attempt to dscribe each thought Mr. Bingham presented but it Is sufficient to say that he verehied his words when he said he was not lecturer but an entertainer. His repertoire is un- exhaustible. The variety of his imper- sonations embraces all sorts and con ditions of people. No lady could fix her back hair or her belt with more grace and propriety and no gamin could sur pass his pugnacity. His negro sketches were highly amusing, without the slightest tingue of vulgarlty.
 But it is as musician that Mir Bingham claims especial praise. His violin playing entities him to rank among the first-class performers on the king of instruments. He played wit hsoul and expression a little lullaby that was especially sym pathetic and artistic.
 In his musical numbers Mr. Bingham was accompanied on the piano by Miss Josephine Boyle, a Birmingham lady of talent.
 No event in the Lyceum course, so far, has given more pleasure than the entertainment of last night. F. I. M.

was the party seeking to inject himself into the district attorneys office. If Lang don were put on tn stand he would consent to answer only as to that mat ter-not as to evidence he had in his possossion."
 This was agreed, to and Ach stated that he would make the issue on two points, whether the board of supervisors had the right to remove Langdon and whether Langdon had the right 0 en- join the new appointee from taking of flee.
 Mir Langdon was then placed on tire stand and stated that he had been in charge of the office since January &; that he has issued orders to all his deputies and knew that these orders were carried out. Ach asked what instructions he had given to Francis J. Heney. To this ques- ton Johnson entered vigorous objections.
 Attorney Baggett, at this point as of ficial city attorney representing the board of supervisors as a whole, filed an answer to Langdons complaint Assistant Dis trict Attorney Robert Harrison was placed on the stand. He stated that the deputies feared Reuf would use force to take possession of the district attorneys s office. He said that such possibility was discussed at gathering at the Inde- pendence league headquarter.
 Was Heney present." asked Ach.
 This question furnished Il dramatic cpl sode. Heney, face red with anger jumped to his feet and declared that lie had never been in the Independence league headquarters and was taking no part in politics He declared he had no intention of running for office, either now or in the future.
 Arguments occupied a greater part of the afternoons session. Judge Seawel ad- journed court until Monday.
