CALDWELL ARRESTED.
LOndOn's Growing Interest In Sensa-

IOndOn's Growing Interest In Sensa-
 tiOnal Druce Case.
 New York, Dec. 21.-Robert Cald- well, the American witness in the fam
 ous Druce case in London, was arrested
 at Hoboken, N. J., today after the ar rival of the steamer Kaiserin Auguste Victoria here. The arrest was made upon request from the London author tties.
 Caldwell was taken into custody soon after he left the steamer. He is charged with perjury in connection
 with the testimony given by him at
 the Druce hearing. He will be arr
 raigned before the United States com
 missioner, who will hold him for ex-
 animation. Announcement was made several days ago that the authorities at New York had been asked to take
 him into custody immediately upon the arrival of the steamer. A few days
 later. however, there came denial of the story. In the meantime the wire
 less telegraph had carried the first re- port to the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria and it had been read In the daily newspaper printed aboard by Caldwell
 and all the other passengers. When the steamer arrived at the quarantine l station today Caldwell was almost in a state of collapse. When told of the
 second report denying the authenticity ! of the statemen published in the ship | newspaper, a great load seemed to have been lifted from him. Thank God, | was his comment. Caldwell, however | appeared to be broken in health and | spirit and told his interviewer that | he believed himself to be in a serious | physical condition.
 | The temporary relief which came tc | Caldwell with the news which met hin
 at quarantine was short lived. Almost l immediately after he had stepped | ashore at Hoboken he was taken into
 custody. The physicians reported that
 he was desperately i'll. The commis l sioner fixed bail at $5,000 and directed
 that the prisoner appear for further
 examination January '. Bail was fur
 nished and the old man was taken t( | his home on Staten island.
 London Is Interested. | London, Dec. 21.-The charge agains 1 Robert c. Caldwell Is conspiracy anC | WiIful and corrupt perjury in the evi | dence he gave while testifying in thu | present Druce case. Papers giving ful | details on the subject are being pre- | pared by the home office and will b' | forwarded through the foreign offic' | as soon as possible.
 | The arrest of the American, who wa ! the principal witness for the prosecu | ton. and without whose testimony thu l case probably would never have beer brought, will add immensely to the al ready widespread interest In the sen | sationsl suit

Birmingham, Dec. 2l.--Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans, of this city today by unanimous vote went on record Tn opposition to the bin intro duced by Congressman Hobson provid- ing for pensioning Confederate soldiers by the Federal government. The reso- lution concluded by saying:
 While we appreciate the good in- tentions of the distinguished gentle man. We feel assured no such bill could ever become law. The offering of such bill in Congress would result in re- opening wounds long since healed and engendering bitterness long since aban- doned."

SUES FIRM FOR SELLING
 FIREWORKS TO SMALL BOY

Huntsville, Dec. 21.-(Special)-A case of unusual interest was filed in the law and equity court today.
 Herman Bingham, by his next friend : William Bingham, has brought suit against William German and Tribble Walker, doing business under the firm name of German & Walker. claiming s5, GOO damages. because they sold the plaintiff. who is boy 12 years old. a cannon cracked which. when explod- ed by him. blew off thumb and three fingers.
 The bill claims that the plaintiff IS of such tender age that he is unac- quainted with the dangers of explo- sives. It is contended that when fire- works are sold to children and dam age results, the seller is liable In action at law.
 The outcome of th.s suit will be watched with interest. for if the claims therein are supported In court, it will make it hard matter for small boys to procure fire works in the future.

GROSSLY MISQuoTEp.

Under the above caption The Non
pareil publishes an interview with
Judge Green relating to the statement:
made in his Sidney speech in refer
ence to Speaker Cannon, which is il
substance as follows:
What / did say was that had
been informed by person high ia
political circles that this bill had
siunbered in committee several wears.
and that the reason 1t had not been
reported out was that Mr.. Cannon did
not wish this to be done; that | did
not know whether this was correct or
not, but that felt sure that If Mr..
Cannon desired it the bill would be
reported out.
said nothing about corruption
or bribery in this connection, either
directly or Indirectly, and no one
present will claim that did. Nor did
even say anything about the people
OF Mr. Cannon's district giving him a
lesson
The correctness of my remarks can
pest be judged by the recent change of
front on the part of the committee
having charge Of u similar bill.
10 is not surprising that / am un-
known To Mr.. Cannon, nor that Uncle
Joe, smarting under the supposed
accusation, should so far forget him.
SELF as to refer to me as a 'rowdy;' but
Z would have been better to have
nade inquiry first. Beyond this | do
lot care TO give his epithets any atten-

OF the Federal court In connection
with the appointment there is given
the following little story;
Many years ago Smith Mcpherson
was an ambitious young man Of this
district aud an aspirant for Office. w.
II. Shipman was az the same time q
young Methodist minister of the
district, When some OF MCPHERSON s
enemies got after him with false and
slanderouS charges To hurt him In his
candidacy, Rev, Shipman interested
himself To defend and support his
friend Mcpherson. The incident had
been forgotten by Shipman, but
short time ago when il was learned
Judge Mcpherson was looking for a
young man for secretary the friends
OF Bert Shipman presented his name
TO the Judge, He made inquiry and
learned that he was capable, but so
were several other very meritorous
candidates for the place. Then the
fact came out that Bert was the son
OF Rev. w. II. Shipman, the old time
friend OF MCPHERSON when he needed
friends.
The Judges memory was not treach.
erous, he recalled the kind words In |
his behalf by the young minister, and |
his big heart prompted the result. |

told that young man's friends that
they need feel under no obligations To |
