 We have no criticism of the Arm strong committee's report.

FIGHT IN MARENGO
 GROWING WARMER
Judge Woolf Is Out In Card Saying He Does Not Favor Guy Court
 for DemopoIs.

Linden, February 26-(Special) )-Judge Samuel G. Woolf of Demopolis. and a formidable candidate for a seat in the lower house of the legislature, is out in quite a lengthy article in the county pa pers this week. and lays down his plat form with a vim. In regard to the pro- posed Demopolis city court bill he says, in part as follows:
 q am sure that all of this talk of a city court for Demopolis to the injury of Linden Is put upon me by my enemies in Linden, and I assure you I write this with no hope of having their support for when this misrepresentation fails they will find another to try and compass my defeat. l say emphatically that l do not favor a city court for Demopolis, nor do I think the people of Demopois want it. and the statement that a court bill of any kind has been prepared and dis cussed here, and that I am committed to its passage, is a falsehood, born in the fertile brain of some personal and political enemy of mine.
 But why jump on me alone? I am the only candidate from north Marengo, and if I am elected there will be two south Marengo men, a senator and represen- tative in the legislature and I would be powerless, even if I was inclined-which I am not-to establish the so-called city court of Demopolis; yet they raise hue and cry against me as if was a crimi- nal and the balance of the pack were all right. Why not ask them few ques- tions? I am sick and tired of it, and if any man thinks I am hyprocrit and to- tally unreliable. why vote against me- but do not paint my back black while fac ing me with smiles and assurances of con- fidence and support"

COSTING COLLIER
 A PRETTY PENNY
PROSECUTION OF COLONEL MANN MEANS AN OUTLAY OF OVER S1ooooo-MAKEs STATEMENT ON WITNESS STAND.

New York. February 26.-Robert J. Col Her, publisher of Golfers Weekly. went on the witness stand today in the hear ing of Col William D. Mann of Town Topics on a charge of perjury. This charge grew out of the sensational libel suit brought recently against Norman Hapgood. editor of Golfers Weekly. and which was decided for MT. Hapgood. MT Collier said that he and his father, Peter F. Collier. expect to pay the expenses of the prosecution of Colon Mann.
 ''Would 1t surprise you to know that this proceeding will cost you more than s10O,OOO?" asked MT. Littleton, counsel for Colonel Mann.
 "No, l would not be surprised. We would not mind if it cost twice that amount" answered the witness.
 Mir. Collier said he expected to reim- purse the city through the district attor- neys office for all the money spent for handwriting experts and other witnesses.
 His paper begain it's attacks on Colonel Mann in 1904 following the publication in Town Topics of an article relecting on the private life and social career of his father, P. F. Collier.
 MT. Collier testified also that he had been paying Charles Stokes Wayne, for mer managing editor of Town Topics, and Moses E. Wooster. the agent for Pads and Fancies, salaries of $1O0 weekly for their services in connection with the Mann case.
 ''Have you considered that being under salary of $1o0 a week to you, the testimony of Wayne and Foster might have been in your favor regardless of the facts in the case?" asked Mir. Littleton.
 ''I had considered that" replied MT. Col Her.
 Speaking of the criminal libel suit of Justice Deul against Golfers Weekly, the witness said:
 "We were sorry that Justice Deul in- stituted the criminal action. We have hoped Colonel Mann would take the ln- itiative We considered Colonel Mann the chief villain in Town Topics Pads and Fancies' outfit"
 DO you know whether Colonel Mann ever wrote a letter demanding money from any person?' MT. Littleton asked.
 Yes. I would not have sworn to an affidavit to that effect if l did not have that know ledge" replied MT. Collier.

Louisville, Ky, February 26.-In the police court today Judge McCann dis missed the cases against the managers and employees of the three theatres. who were arrested yesterday for viola tions of the Sunday closing law.

To make a real test of the law, Judge Nc Cam said, it would be necessary to show that the law was really meant to be enforced, and not to discriminate against certain class of alleged of lenders.
