RED LEGS AT HOME
MONTGOMERY ARTTrLERIsTs RE TURN FROM MOBILE.
Captain Roswaid. Who Commanded Largest Battery, Praises the Sol-
 dfers for Work Performed z Major Westeoft Comes e Today.

Battery "B," the Montgomery branch Of the Alabama artillery battalion, re- turned yesterday afternoon from . week in instruction camp at Mobile, which is said to have been the most beneficial the artillerists have yet att tended
 With biare of trumpet and steady tread the red legged soldier men march i. ed through Dexter Avenue from the evening train to Armory HalL put up their ordnance and accoutrements and became plain citizens again.
 Capt, Sam B. Roswald, who com- handed the local organization. said that the camp was the most orderly he had ever seen. He had flfty-six men with Battery "B,' the largest attendance of any battery at camp He said that by far the greater part of the time was devoted to target practice with the Hotchkiss guns. In this work the Montgomery men got the sbuirs eye. though the Birmingham battery won the cup by getting the highest per centage. The mon at tho guns had to find the range. which was about 2,500 yards out in the bay. and Montgom- cry was first at practice. This kept their score down considerably in com parison with those who went to the range later.
 The Montgomery artiilerists had ar ranged to give farewell supper to their friends Sunday evening, but a kdownpcrr of rain defeated their pur- pose. About twenty-five ladies went to the camp and feasted with the men. however.
 Captain Roswald said that though the rain made camp life unpleasant 1t did not stop the routine. Target prac- tice went on just the same, rain or shine, and 1t was mostly rain. :
 Batteny ''B'' was the only one of the four batteries to do much drilling, the others conflning their work almost en- tireiy to target practice The bat talion. which is under the command of Major S. T. Westcott of Montgomery, is composed of Battery "A, of Mobile. commanded by Capt Y. w. Pringle; Battery B." Montgomery, Capt. Sam B. Roswald; Battery e" Selma, Capt. h. N. Eddy. and Battery "D," Birm- ingham. in command of Capt. J. O. Smith.
 The Montgomery battery was the first to leave camp The Selma and Birm- Iingham batteries did not leave until 6:3o o'clock yesterday evening. The Birrn- ingham battery went by way of Selma.
 Major westcott will return to Mont- gomery this afternoon.

SANGUINETTE IN IT
HE WANTS SEAT ON THE POLICE
 COMMISSION.
Council May Elect Members At Next Meefing--Status of the Present Department Is Ques-
 tiomed.

Captain Paul sanguinetti yesterday announced hts intention of seeking d seat on the Montgomery Police Com mission. which may be created.
 Should the City Council determine to Ko into the election of Commission. after being advised by the City Attor- ney. Captain sanguinetti says he will be candidate. He believes his exper- fence in military discipline will assist him as member of the Commission.
 Captain Sanguinetti has resided In Montgomery many years and he Is well known, He is confederate veteran
 The opinion of Acting City Attorney R. T. Goodwin as to the validity or the Police Commission act of 1903 has not been given out by Mayor Teague. It was sent to the Mayor Friday, and it was expected that the opinion would 20 to the City Council last night The opinion was not transmit ted to the Council last night and the Aldermen will not know fine real status, of the police department until their regular meeting next Mon day evening.
 ! If is generally believed that the Act ing City Attorney Is of the opinion that the Police Commission act is valid. and that the Aldermen may elect five Com missioners if they see fit to do so.. II a majority of the Aldermen are op- A Cline to go into an election. in which case some citizen might ask court for a writ of mandamus compelling the Council to act.
 Another interesting question that might arise is the status of the present department, If the Police Commission act of 1903 Is valid. is Chief w. H. Tav- Tor and his sixty odd men the legally selected police department of Montgom- ery7 It is said that the opinion of the Acting City Attorney covers this point fully and holds that the present officers of the department should hold until their terms expire.
 Meanwhile the names of Aldermen w J Ryan, David Fleming, Gladden. Har- rison Paul Roeder. W. W. Hill. James Gallagher. Dr. F. c. Stevenson. Dr. M H. Futile. Fred Hammond and Captain Sangunetti have been mentioned as pos sible candidates for places on the Com mission
