ANXIOUS MOTHER
 WAS MADE HAPPY
ENDURING OVER LONG DISTANCE FROM KENTUCKY CONCERNING SON UNDER ARREST, SHE IS TOLD NOTHING.

Rather than have his aged mother learn of his arrest and the charge under which he is held, Walter L. Scott, deny ing that fact to her over the long dis tance telephone last night, turned aside the means calculated to gain his release.
 Young Scott was arrested Saturday aft ernoon by Detective Murphy, and he is wanted in Clarksville, Tenn, on a charge involving some money matters. The young man is almost positive that he will be released as soon as the proper explana- tion is made. He took precautions that his people learn nothing of his case. In all events, it is known that his release will be ordered as soon as some money which it is alleged that he owes in Clarks- vile is paid.
 of the young man and his brother in Lex ington, Ky, learned that Scott was held in Birmingham, and anXiously made in quiries over the long distance wires last night. In endeavoring to locate the pris oner, the warden found young Scott and told him the circumstances. Scott begged that his mother be told nothing of the matter, and his wish was finally granted. The parent was rejoiced when the news was spoken from Alabama to Kentucky.
 The officers in Birmingham are prac- tically certain that the trouble in which Scott is in will be settled this morn ing

MEN REFUSE TO
 ANSWER QUESTIONS
OFFICERS CANNOT LEARN WHERE MEN INTOXICATED ON SUNDAY GET THEIR WHlSKY-SEVERAL NTERRoGATED YESTERDAY.

All efforts on the part of the police to locate those places where men get enough whisky on Sunday to become intoxicated have proved futile.
 Beginning yesterday morning. the of fieers were instructed to question every man arrested on a charge of being drunk Sunday, and while the instructions were carried out to the letter, the pumping" resulted in little good.
 Yesterday was freer from intoxicated persons than generally. Only five men were arrested charged with Sunday drunk Four of these were white. As each hopelessX wandering individual was taken under police surveillance and es- eorted to the city jail, he was vigorously interrogated.
 Some of the men were boisterous in their refusals to "peach" on the sources of their liquor supply. Others affirmed that they had not drank any whisky, but something else. Others said that they had bought whisky Saturday night and saved it purposely to aid in passing a quiet Sunday. As a result of the interrogations, therefore, the police learned nothing.

MEXTCAN'S THROAT
 SLASHED BY NEGRO
FRANCES FERNANDEZ PERHAPS FATALLY CUT BY GEORGE Hl- GEL-NO BOND ALLOWED AS.
 sAILANT-lN NEGRO QUARTERS.

George Higel, negro, is held at the city jail charged with assaultng and attempt- ing to murder Frances Fernandez a Mex ican So seriously is the Mexican cut, that pending his serious condition the priso- ner is not allowed bond.
 An interesting incident in connection with this crime is the fact that Fernandez was released from jail Saturday night, having served sentence for disorderly conduct Last night, becoming involved in a brawl with Higel, he received a wound across the throat from a knife blade that is expected to prove fatal.
 Just what started the fight between the Mexican and the negro is unknown. When Officers Hambright and Veitch arrived on the scene to which they had been at tracted by big gathering of people 1he wounded man was found lying upon the ground bleeding profusely. A knife blade had been drawn across his throat. 1ligel was standing nearby with an open knife in his hands. He was placed un- Ger arrest, and as stated, is not allowed bond

DEAD PRIEST TOBE
 BURIED THIS MORNING
Requiem for Father GalIand at 10 O'clock in Our Lady of Sor-
 rows Church.

The funeral services over the remains of the Rev. Father Galland will be held this morning at 10 o'clock in the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows on Avenue F and Fourteenth street. Solemn requiem high mass will be celebrated by the Rev. Father Callaghan of Mobile, assisted by the Rev. Father Savage, pastor of St. Peters of Montgomery and the Rev. Father Coyle, pastor of St. Paurs, Bir- mingham.
 After the services the casket will be borne from the church to the hearse by the clergy appointed for the purpose, such occasions being the only one on which clergymen act as pallbearers. Not even in cases of the greatest laymen, kings or emperors, priests act as pallbearers. The following have been appointed to act as pallbearers:
 Joseph Wefrech. senor, James Mackin, Joseph Weifrech, Jr., Eugene Tanner, M. H. McArdle. Fred Bender, Joseph Busen- lemer, Michael Casey.
 The honorary pail bearers will be mem bers of the Rights of Columbus and the following have been selected to act: Redmond N. Wheeler Oliver Chalifoux, M E. Gleeson. M. E. Linnehan, John Westerman and Charles Busenlemer. After the obsequies in the church the cortege will proceed to the Southside Catholic cemetery, where interment will take place, close to the site where the remains of the late Dean Meurer were laid to rest.
 The following resolutions were adopted at meeting of St. Catherine's congrega- tion in Pratt City:
 St. Catherine's congregation heard with profound regret the official announce ment of the death of our late beloved pastor, the Rev. Louis A. Galland. It is only a few months ago that in obedience to the voice of his bishop he severed the tender relations that exist between pastor and people. His removal from among us was in the way of promo tion, and this fact alone helped to recon cile us to our loss.
 Resolved, That we, the members of St. Catherine's church, in meeting as sembled, take occasion to give public tes- timony of our love and esteem for Father
 
 loved pastor The memories of his many acts of kindness and his watchful care and solictude for our spiritual we'll be- ing. time can never efface.
 To the congregation of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, who just com menced to know and appreciate his worth we offer our heartfelt sympathy. We unite with them in mourning around his bier. To his aged mother, who loved her boy dearer than her life. we fail to find words that will adequately express our deep sympathy and affection. May God our loving and tender Father, watch over and care for her In this her hour of trial Resolved. That these resolutions he pub lished in the daily papers and copy sent to his beloved mother.

other southern states, and race feeling was very high.
 It was also before the present regula- tions of 1ineal promotions were in effect. so that once in a negro regiment he would have to remain always in one as long as he was below the grade of colonel. Hes itating whether he should give up his chance of going into the branch which he preferred or enter a negro regiment, per- haps for his life, he wrote to his father in South Carolina for advice.
 His father sent the letter to Jefferson Davis, who was a persona! friend of his. In short time the former President of the Confederacy made reply in a letter which is one of General Garlingtons most prized mementos.
 MT. Davis said that neither in his ex- perience in the United States army nor as President of the Confederacy had he ever felt or known any objection tc negro troops, and that in all the discussion in the Confederate cabinet he had never heard of any objection on the part of any southern officers to accepting service in regiments composed of negroes, explaining that there were reasons far apart from this which led the Confederate govern- ment to decide not to enlist negroes in the service
 He advised young Darlington by all means to accept service in the negro regi- ment rather than lose his chance of tho branch of his choice The consequence of this was that General Darlington made up his mind to become an officer in a negro regiment A vacancy Tn another cavalry regiment, which occurred just about that time. put him in a white command in- stead

NO COLOR LINE.
There Are Regiments of coloree Troops With Many Southern Officers.

From the New York Sun.
 With the agitation about the dismissal
 by the President of three companies of negro soldiers in the Twenty-fifth infantry has arisen a wide interest in the other negro troops in the army.
 There are four regiments of negro troops-two of infantry, the Twenty
 fourth and the Twenty-fifth. and two of cavalry the Ninth and the Tenth. Com panies B, and D, the enlisted men of
 which have been dismissed, were sta-
 toned at Ft. Reno, I. T.
 With two or three exceptions notably one in the Twenty-1fth, second lieuten- ant, and one in the Twenty-fourth. these regiments are ofhcered by white men, and many of these are southerrers. In the Twenty-fourth infantry, stationed in the Philippines, ten of the captains are from the southern states-three from Virginia, and one each from Maryland, Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tex as and Arkansas.
 The lieutenant colonel Dent, is from Florida, and eleven of the lieutenants are from southern states. In the Twenty fifth infantry the lieutenant colonel. Ho- bart K Bailey. is from Missouri; Major
 Herman is from Florida, one captain is
 from Alabama and one from Missouri and seven neuIendntS dIS run southSih states.
 In the Ninth cavalry Major James B. Erwin is from Georgia, and three cap tains and nine lieutenants are from south ern states. The Tenth cavalry has Major Robert D. Read from Tennessee. and six captains and eight lieutenants from other southern states.
 |, The fact that General Ernest A. Gar lngton. inspector general of the army, upon whose recommenda ton the President ordered the three negro companies dis banded, is a southern man. born in South Carolina, and appointed to West Point from Georgia has been noted by many of those who have criticised the President and has afforded some apparent ground for the charge that race prejudice had something to do with the unusual course taken in this case But those who are acquainted with General Darlington recall the friendly attitude he has always shown toward the negro troops. When first lieutenant of cavalry General Darlington
 served at the same post with this very Twenty-fifth regiment of negro infantry at Fit Meade. South Dakota.
 Jefferson Davis advised General Gar lington, while a cadet at West Point, to accept service in a negro regiment. It came about in this way:
 Cadet Darlington. when about to gradu- ate. found that his class standing would entitle him to select the cavalry branch of the service. But it appeared at first that there would be no vacancies in the cavalry except in a negro regiment. This was in 1872. when South Carolina, young Garlngtons native state. was in the hands of the negroes, as were several

 Punch" Knoll, with Washington and
 New Orleans last season, will manage the aggregation homed at Evansville i Ind, next season. He will also play the outfeld. As has been stated, Bernie Mc- 1 Gay will manage Mobile. Bernie, former Atlanta star, was a manager in the Cot ton States league last season, after the close of which he accepted position as 1 second baseman with Little Rock The New Orleans and Memphis papers are indulged in war of words as to whether or not Theodore Breitenstein mas drawn the biggest price of any ball play CT in the world. According to the Pelican end of the story, Cincinnati gave St. Louis s10.0oG for the beauty" Memphis writers contend that Boston gave Chicago S10O00 for Mike Kelly, and in the following year John ClarlIson was bought Tor the same sum. The Memphis end of the con- troversy ccrtends that Bretenstein did not fetch the fancy price alleged. How ever. Breitensten will twirl and win games in Dixie next season, even if he did spoil his record for good conduct in Memphis last August
 It is rumored that Dusty Miller will manage either Kansas City or Louisville next season. It is stated that Miller's en- ergy in advancing Mobile from seventh to first place created quite an impress sion in other companies.
 Second Baseman Clark. last season with Norfolk, has been drafted by Memphis. Infielder McGamwell of the New York State league, and Infielder Mccormack of Holyoke, New England league, have been drafted by Manager Dobbs of Nash vile. Atlanta has drafted forty-three, more or less.
 Tom Mccullough of Memphis is on rec ord as declining Red Elm park to all corners as training ground. President Baugh of Birmingham holds the same views as affecting this city. In spite of this fact. several of the big clubs will visit Birmingham next season, but none will train here Incidentally, a recent let ter from Comiskey of the White Sox was to the effect unat ms dBBIeBdliol WOuiu not be in the south next spring.
 The Montgomery correspondent of the Sporting News writes story to the ef- feet that Birmingham is endeavoring to trade Charlton Molesworth for Fred Houtz The man is dead wrong. Birming- ham does not wish to part with the ser vice of Molesworth, even for a player as splendid as is Houtz. Since the story has been published, it might be well to go into details. The Montgomery manage ment would like for Molesworth to man. age the Pretzels next year. Birmingham does not wish to stand in Molesworth's way of promotion. Birmingham, if Moles- worth is made manager will release its claims upon him. provided Montgomery offers proper inducements. It could hard ly be expected of Birmingham to turn loose one of the most valuable outielders in Dixie without something in return. Therefore, it was mentioned that satis- factory offer would be Houtz in exchange for Molesworth, provided sufficient mon | etary attraction was offered in addition.

Personal Letter.
"The White House, on |,

Washington, Dec. 30, 1905.
 My Dear Bellamy tpersonaD: In my last letter to you I wrote you as to d report l had heard about your writing a letter concerning the dismissal of Hurst. This came to me from an out side source. and l did not credit it. Since then Secretary Hay has sent me over a letter (of your's) to Senator Hanna, which the latter put before the department with a request that he be given information In order to answer you.
 Secretary Hay feels, of course. accord ingly, indignant over your having written in such manner to any outsider. and feels that there should be some official rebul<e Because of our personal rela- tions l write in this way to you instead,
 "1 hardly think you could have thought exactly what you were writing. You say. for instance, about the dismissal of Hurst: 'I do know the manner of his removal. in a way I should be ashamed to employ with common servant. l have never known, if what I hear is the case. of a more sudden or unexpected action of any administration.
 '.It may be none of your business nor mine, but l know you do not like in- justice.

Bitter Attack.

'Of course this amounts to bitter att tack upon the administration, of which you are apart. You make charges of a grave nature against the secretary of state and the President under whom you are serving. If these charges were true, that would not, in my opinion, justify YOU in writing to the senator in such a fashion As 1t happens they are absolute ly without foundation. No case was gone into more. careful than this. l have re- ports before me from Ambassador Me Cormick and from special and trus,ed agent of the department-a man in whose Judgment the department has absolute confidence. No other action was possible in view of these reports.
 q know, my dear Bellamy, that you have not intended to do anything disloyal or improper but surely on thinking over the matter you will see that there would be but one possible construction to be put upon such a letter from you. Think of the effect if your letter was made public
 Let me repeat to you that in refer ence to matters affecting the Catholic church events have conclusively shown that while you are ambassador you must keep absolutely clear of any deed or word in Rome or elsewhere which would seem to differentiate your position from that of other ambassadors. The mere fact of the report in the newspapers about your call ing at the vatican has had a very unfor tunate effect. I dare say you did not call; you may merely have seen some cardinal privately. but the unpleasant talk over the affair emphasizes the need of extreme circumspecton while you are in your present position.
