WANTS A LICENSE
PETITION OF SOUTHERN MUTUAL
 AID ASSOCIATION.
Commissioner McDavid Refuses to Issue Paper Until Opinion Is Rendered
 By Attorney General Wilson.

Leroy Smith Secretary of the South ern Mutual Aid Association of Birming- ham, is in Montgomery making an ef- fort to get a license for that insurance company for the current year.
 This is the organization about whose operations disclosures were recently made in a special report by Deputy In surance Commissioner H. R. Shorter to Commissioner E. R. McDavid.
 On account of the suspicious cast on the soundness of the Southern Mutual Aid Association, Commissioner McDavid has decided to hold the matter of is- suing a license this year in obeyance He said yesterday he will Rot take any action until he gets an opinion from Attorney General Massey Wilson.
 As a result of the rather damaging report on the company in December, Commissioner McDavid laid the facts disclosed before the Attorney General for such proceedings as he sees fit. The Attorney General still has the matter under consideration and 1t is not believed he will take any action until the Alabama Supreme Court rem ders decision in a case which is now pending and involves some points which may settle the status of the Mu- tual Aid organization. The chief is- sue in the case is the classification of outstanding tontine policies to the amount of about $26,00O. If they are made liabilities just as the other poli- cies are it is likely that the license will be revoked. The company con- tends that the policies are ultra wires although collections are being made on them.
 The Supreme Court IS expected to hand a decision in a few days which

DEATH OF MR. FINLEY
ATLANTA LAWYER WE'LL KNOWN
 IN MONTGOMERY.
Prominent Georgia Barrister Was Born And Married in This City, and
 Served in Confederate Army.

Thomas Finley, well known attor- ner of Atlanta, who was born and lived his young manhood in Montgomery, died at 3:30 o'clock yesterday after noon in Atlanta at his residence, No. 34 West Peachtree Street. The sad received in a telegram to relatives in
 Montgomery a few minutes after he
 had passed away.
 Mir. Finley had been in declining
 health for about three years. Some time
 ago he has stricken with paralysis and,
 when a second stroke came Sunday, att
 tending physicians realized that his
 death was only question of a few
 days.
 Mir Finley was 59 years old. He was
 the son of the late Rev. David Finley
 who, for wany years was the pastor of
 the First Presbyterian Church of this city. He grew up to maturity in Mont gomery and had large circle of friends here. While quite a young man he entered the Confederate army when the civil war began and he served gallantly until the close of the strug-
 ble
 Two years after the strife ended, Mir. Finley matriculated at Princeton University,s where ha graduated in the law department with highest honors. Returning to the South, he embarked in the practice of law in Atlanta, and has resided in Atlanta from that time to the present day. He was esteemed and respected both in Atlanta and
 Montgomery. and he frequently visited
 the home of his nativity. where he was always cordially received.
 Some twenty five years ago MT. Fin lev was married to Miss Jessie A. Rey- holds, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth A. | Reynolds. of Montgomery. The happy couple were the parents of three sons and daughters. only one af whom is | now llvir 2. Thomas R. Finley of Mont gouery. He is survived by one bro ther. Capt. John G. Finley, of this city. The remains are expected to arrive | here to-day from Atlanta over the Att lanta and West Point Railroad. They will bA carried to the residence of Mrs. | Elizabeth A. Reynolds. No. 109 South Perry Street. where they will lie until | the funeral. Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later.

 would be levied. Tt is necessary, first, to find out how much money is necessary to run the government honestly and economi- cally and levy the tax to meet that
 sum. Then you will have this question settled right and until 1t is settled right 1t still will be agitated.~ Just before Mir. Williams concluded,
 he 'spoured out a thunderstorm as MT.

self still more from his fellOwman.
To carry out the plan above sug-
gested it is only necessary to get TWO
ideas firmly planted in the American
mind:
That the first thing to be considered
is the life we live and our relations
with our fellow-men, rather than the
amount of money we may have IN the
bank or the number of acres over
which we NAV exercise dominion.
Second that to reconstruct our So
cial system and solve every social and
political problem which now contronts
this country nothing is necessary but
to provide a system of public school
education and bring it within the
reach of every boy and girl in the
land which will train everyone OF
them so that they will know how to
cultivate ten acres of land in such
way so that it will yield a greater
profit than a quarter-section farm or
dinarily does today, and will know
how to cultivate one acre of land-a
home acre-in the suburbs or factory

measure of the living for family,
Notwithstanding that the head OF that
family, or other members of 1t, may
be occupied in clerical capacity else

WHO M'CASKRIN CANDIDACY
WOULD HURT IF ANYBODY
Republican indignation Over earroom
Special Back of independent
Move.

Many innocent republicans who are
looking forward with eagerness to the
effect of the announced independent
candidacy of George Washington Nc
Caskrin for the Legislature fail TO re
alize that it is more apt to prove a
boomerang to their own party than det
rimental to the democratic candidate
e. l.. Werts That is, if McCaskrin
has the strength to hurt anybody.
AS a matter of fact, the agencies
strongest in support of McCaskrin-
apart from himself-are republicans
who, in disgust over the slaughter OF
Dr. Reynolds and the part played by
the barroom special that went from
Rock Island to Aledo, are smarting for
retaliation.
Hence il is not only the other- Hen
derson county man, Abbey. whom they
are after, but Landee, the candidate
for senator, whose personally conduct
ed tour the amber special was. whom
they would like to see sidetracked.
So that if the oft selfconstituted
candidate runs again for the legisla-
ture he will contribute to republican
defeat rather than democratic, as in
that special train alone he has abund-
ant ammunition with which to stump
the district

of visitors gathered to witness
the grand parade. Their uniforms and
white caps with gold trimmings were
unique in appearance and they receiv-
ed round after round of applause as
they passed through the great crowds
of people.
MANY touching incidents occurred
during the great gathering" said Com
mander Buck, but one which i'm
pressed me most, happened while a
small number of veterans gathered and
told stories of hardships in the great
rebellion. A veteran of many hard
fought battle in speaking of the parade
which was about to take place, said
that he would march if it cost him his
life. The story telling continued, saiG

charged with assaulting John Morrison

this morning. stating that Turner had
attempted to hold up his companion.
Fink, and that in the fight that ensued

statement that it was Fink and Morri-

no charge against Morrison, and he

Settlement II Impossible.
Statements made in the Peoria pa

of the preliminary hearing of ii. A.

emphaticalIy by States Attorney j. K
Scott "Such thing as a settlement
of a criminal case out of court would
be impossible, in the first place. and
no such thing would be considered in
the second" he said Mr.. Scott ex
plains that perhaps the civil side OF
the difficulty between Suttle and the
officers of the Cypress Gold & Copper
Mining company has been confused
with the criminal action. Mr.. Scott
holds that the fact that Suttle has
