Death of Police Commission.
Deane Again Convicted.

In Judge Jackson's court this afternoon an interesting case was decided by the conviction of Lewis R. Deane upon whom was imposed a fine of $100 for not fur nshing drinking water to the passengers on the car of which he was the con- ductor on the North Bessemer line, in June. 1906. This is the second trial of the case of which the real defendant is lne Birmingham Railway Light and Power company.
 The indictment was drawn on the plea that the interurban line is railway in the eyes of the law and as such should con- form to the law regulating railroads in Alabama and furnish drinking water to passengers.
 The claim was made that passengers travelling the distance between Bessemer and Birmingham suffered for lack of drinking water as the trip could not be made ill much less time than an hour.
 The case was first tried in Judge Jack sons court on June 27 1906, and Deane was convicted and fined s100. He appealed the case to the supreme court, which re- versed and remanded the case. Judge Jackson today again imposed the fine and the attorneys for the defendant prompt ly asked for sixty days in which to file a bill of exceptions which puts the case again up to the supreme court. Deane is no longer an employe of the Interurban .Railway company, having lately resigned his position.
