we propose. if judicious and per- Bistent advertising will do it, to in crease the population of Montgomery to 100000 by 1910"
 St. Elmo Massengale of Atlanta, tho leading authority on advertising in the Southern States, said this yesterday af- ternoon soon after he had come from a conference with the Committee on Pub- 1icity of the Commercial and Industrial Club. which committee had invited hin to visit Montgomery for the purpose of advising the committee as to a cam paign of advertising this city and its advantages to the world. Mir Massen- gale did not undertake to advise the committee until he investigated the advantages to be offered by Montgom cry to the homeseeker, the manufac- turer and the investor.
 He reached Montgomery Thursday evening. Yesterday was a busy day with MT. Massengale. He returned to Atlanta yesterday evening filled with enthusiasm over the 1910 movement, and what it means to Montgomery.

was arrested by members of the day force Mir. Patrick speedily made bond of $3,000, and it developed several hours thereafter that the contention of MT, Patrick that he was innocent was. en- tirely correct
 As soon as the night force came on for work. special officers concurred with the statement made by MT. Pat rick that he had been working in apprehending the guilty negroes.
 Previous to- the arrangement with special night men. MT. Patrick had sev- eral times called up the department. giving the information that persons had called at his store to dispose of goods which he believed were stolen. but he said he would not buy the goods because he thought he had no right to do so.
 In return. the special told Mir. Pat rick that he might so ahead and pur- chase such goods at the next oppor- tunfty so that the necessary evidence might, be had against the guilty per- sons. The police even went SO far as to express the belief. it Is said. that the owner of the goods would gladly reimburse Mir. Patrick to secure the conviction of the thieves.
 These were the circumstances when the Bell Street storekeeper purchased the lard from the two negroes Thurs day. He was arrested by the day force because the day men did not know that members of the night force had made arrangements with MT. Patrick. It was a mistake, but one that proved hardship and a misfortune to MT. Patrick.
 Before the Recorder yesterday after noon. Police Chief w. H. Taylor en- tered into a thorough explanation of the circumstances, and through his re- quest the case against Mir. Patrick was mol pressed.
 The negroes, Finch and Wflkerson, were each convicted in two cases of petit larceny, and they were fined $lo and costs in each case.
