HAzLETON TELLS
 IF DAVIS ARREST
Man Here Who Arrested PreSi-
 dent of Confederacy
WEATHER DISAGREEABLE
When Asked to Come From the Tent He Hastily Threw Over Shoulders Weather Cloak Belong
 ing to Mrs. Davis.

Capt. T. B. Hazleton now living at Jasper, was an officer of the Michigan cavalry that captured President 'Jeffer- son Davis, near Irwinville. Ga, in 1865. He was visitor to Birmingham yster- day and spoke Interestingly of the incl dent. Said he:
 Most northern and southern writers are in error in regard to the circum- stances attending the arrest of the Presi- dent of the Confectionery, but the nearest correct statement is that by Jefferson Davis himself in his book
 "All of the talk about President Davis wearing the hoopslxirt and other cloth ing of his wife, when captured, Is not sustained by fact, and I often become disgusted with it.
 When our command approached his tent and surrounded it. at an early morn- ing hour, we called him out. It was a dsagreeable morning and when he arose to come he placed upon his body the weather cloak of Mrs. Davis, probably the first garment available. In front of his tent stood his horse saddled and ready for departure, but he was not then on horseback. Of course he was arrested. Then we placed him in an ambulance and Mrs. Davis was assigned to another vehicle. In that ambulance was @ chest of medicine, morphine and other poisons. Mrs Davis stated to us that she was afraid he would take some of that poi son rather than suffer possible humilia- tion and requested that we place him in some other vehicle. This we did and I rode beside the defeated President all the way to Macon. He was much de- jected and exhibited temper, but was gentlemanly in his demeanor. I was close to him and conversed freely with him. He exhibited no fear, but was resentful. Mrs Davis, woman like, did express fear of results.
 "As we learned. 1t was MT. Davis in- tentlon to proceed early and alone horse back to the coast and that his cavalcade was to follow and overtake him at night, hence the readiness of the saddled horse.
 This is a brief statement of the story. We carried him to Macon and turned him over to highq' authority and there our work was enSed.
 I learned to like the south in my ca reer as a federal soldier, and in 1874 I came to Georgia and there remained un- til the early eighties; then came to Ala bama. For several years l have been a resident of Walker county, and my home is now near Jasper. In this state my children have been rearer and educated and [ am not inclined to remove my dwelling place nor my citizenship. I know the south. especially Alabama, and will probably find a resting place for my ashes in the soil of this state
 Tt pleases me much to observe a re- uniting of the sections, and no greater pleasure is afforded me than that which allows me the hand-grasp of the boys who wore the gray. I am full fiedged Alabamian and try to be dutiful and loyal to the state of my adoption and to the home of my family. Yes, by the way, I have two grandchildren born in this state. and they are verltable Ala bamansp p

MORE MONEY ORDERS.
Two Additional Sub-Statlons to Be
 Established In Birmingham.

Postmaster General Meyer has issued an order that a sufficient number of addi- tional money order offices will be estab- lished to promote public convenience.
 According to the opinion given by au- thorties this means that practically every postoffice will be a money order station. Heretofore only 5000 out of the 64,000 postofices in the country were authorized to do a money order business.
 Since the advent of rural free delivery in Alabama 452 postoffices have been discon- tinued, their places being supplied by this method of transmission of mall
 Orders have been issued to establish two new postal sub-stations In the Birming- ham district. This order will go into effect on October 1. One of these sub stations will be located at Richmond place and the other at Jonesville, just be- yond Oak Hill cemetery.

PRITCHETT IS HELD
 FOR RECENT MURDER
WHITE HORSE TRADER IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN WITH MIR. MosELEY WHEN HE WAS KILLED ON MORRIS AVENUE.

Coroner w D. Parish had J. T. Prit- chett, d white man, arrested yesterday afternon on a charge of murder, 1t being thought that Pritchett is the man who was with w. N Mose1ey on the night he was knocked down and robber, and was afterward found in a dying condi- tion in vacant lot on Morris avenue about two weeks ago.
 H. S. Ward, the white man who was arrested last week on a charge of being Implicated in the crime, but was later re- leased on account of the lack of evidence. gave the coroner a description of the man whom he left with MoseIey on the night of the murder The coroner has been working hard on the case for two or three days, and found his man yesterday afternoon. Pritchett is a powerful and heavy set man. with weak face, and complies in every respect with the de- scription given by Ward.
 Before his death at the hospital 1t Is Eaid Moseley gave a description of the fellow who killed him: Sandy hair and mustache yellow hat and a horse trader Pritchett, who is a horse dealer, was inn mediately suspected, and after examining other witnesses the coroner found that he was with Moseley late the night of the murder.
 Joe Malone traced him out yesterday and left word with some horse dealers to turn him over when he showed up at headquarters. This they did, and the ar rest was made by Policeman Dougherty He is a frequent inmate of the city Jail having been there on the charge of drunk enness many times.
 While Coroner Paris has not had time to have Ward identify Pritchett as the man who was with Moseley, he believes that he has the right man and that he has a strong case against him. He has several clews on which he is working, and has determined to run all of them to the ground and sift the case to the bot

LAWRENCE TALKS
 TO ". (. I. U. TODAY
CITY OFFICIALS ARE STILL WORK ING ON LIQUOR REGULATION LAWS AND THE SUBJECT WILL COME UP TOMORROW NIGHT.

The Women's Christian Temperance union is preparing for fight against the liquor interests this fall. They are in- creasing their ranks rapidly, and using ever effort to bring about their object This afetrnoon the Rev. Brooks Law renee, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, will address them on their work at the First Methodist church. full att tendance of ladies is expected. MT, Law renee is one of the best informed men on the subject in the state, and is one of those who has no faith in the dispensary, but is in favor of prohibition. He leaves the time of action entirely at their dis cretion.
 The Temperance union will also have great temperance worker here this fall to conduct an open campaign against liquor. They believe he will not only arouse a spirit against the saloons, but have definite results in the lives of men.
 In the meantime the city officials are still quietly working to head off the movement with liquor regulation laws. At the meeting tomorrow night of the City Council the committee will report on Alderman Estes resolutions and ordi- nances, which seek to move saloons from the red light district and to force sa- loonkeepers to own or lease buildings in aheir own name, thus cutting out the Shabt of breweries who now own saloons around the outskirts of the city.
 These will probably be acted on tomor- row, and the outlook Is that they will be passed. Mayor Ward and the excise com mittee may also call up the license in- crease question again if there appears a chance of passing it. The gas company and telephone company will probably be the subject of a report from City Attor- ney F. D. Smith.

session before the meeting of the legis- lature.
 'I have full confidence that the legis- lature of Alabama will carry out the will of the people as expressed in the last primary. The legislature has in all oth- CT matters sought in good faith to exc cute the will of the people.
 The members will not seek technical ities to justify them in evading and dis regarding the expressed will of the peo- pie in this instance. I have an abiding faith in the fairness of the people and of their representatives
 Prom numerous letters and messages received. I find that the sentiment is practically unanimous that it would be an outrage to defeat me after having been nominated by the democratic party for the vacancy. I have received letters and messages from a majority of the members of the legislature assuring me of their support"
 Governor Did Right Thing.
 It appears to be the consensus of opinion in Birmingham that Governor Conner did the right thing in appointing Colonel Bankhead to succeed Senator Morgan and that the legislature will further approve of the governors action by electing Senator Bankhead to the po- sition he now occupies by appointment.
 According to the views Of a number of people yesterday Bankhead sentiment is growing and many believe that the Fayette county statesman will certainly be elected when the legislature reassem- bles. It was stated on good authority that ore member of the state legislature, residing in Birmingham, has expressed himself straightout for Bankhead, al though he opposed him in the primary. It was also declared to be a fact that pressure is being brought to bear by Bankhead's friends upon local legislators to get them to cast their legislative votes for the nominee of the primary.
 Pretty Fight Precipltated.
 The conclusion of the whole matter is that a pretty fight has been precipitated which may be toned down and result in the election of Senator Bankhead by the legislature with little opposition or if the numerous candidates who have an- nounced or will announce for the sena- torship develop enough strength may bring about a bitter contest whose ef- feet will be felt for many years. One of the as yet unannounced candidates Is reported to have said that opposition to Senator Bankhead will develop when the legislature meets again and that If the bars are not let down from the inside that the candidates would let them down from the outside.

TROUBLESOME PLAN.

Persons going from Wausau to points
in Illinois have heretofore experienced
trouble in getting their baggage
checked through. The railroads would
only check baggage as far as water
tank stations at the state line, because
of u difference in passenger rates in
the two states. This system caused no
end of trouble to the traveller who
sometimes had to wait day or so for
baggage. On July lst the two-cent
rate went into effect in Illinois ard it
is likely that there will be no change 81
the baggage situation. One can, how
ever, save some money in travelling ex-
penses if he is onto the ropes BY buy
ing a 500 mile family ticket you can go
as far as the state line at the rate of
TWO cents per mile and by paying cash
TO the conductor you can ride into Chi
cago or any other point in Illinois at
the same rate. The matter of selling
through interstate tickets is left option
al with the railroad companies and it is
likely that the interstate Commerce
commission will at some time compel
them to sell such tickets.

BUSY SEASON.

The macadamizing crew has the
Grand Ave job done on one side of the
street car tracks as far south as the f.
Deutsch residence. On the other side
the work is done as far down as be-
tween the two bridges Both sides will
be macadamized full width as far as the
Sturgeon Eddy road. Then the crew
will begin on Fifth street Beginning
at the intersection of Washington street
that thoronghfare will be improved
with rock macadam clear through to
the railroad tracks in the northern Sec
ton of the city There is great deal
of work of this kind laid out for this
season, and il is barely probable that it
will all be completed. The start was
made later than anticipated and the
work on Grand Ave has been retarded
stances. The city at present is employ
ing q great many men Besides the
street crew there are the men employed
on connecting the drive wells and some
sewer work is being done. A notice
for sewer bids in another colum will
show the reader the work contemplated
in sewer building this season. The
rock pile on the Clarke island is being
eaten up fast and it may be necessary
to haul in more rock from the country
with the sprinkling teams, rs was done
last year, toconplete some of the wor k.
This no doubt viii be done If the warm

LONG IN THE HARNESS.

j. H Stevenson, of Topeka, Kas.,
who is gathering data on divorces for
the department of commerce and labor,
expects TO complete his work here by
the first of next week. He reports
that he finds the books and records in
this county the best kept of any county
he has yet visited MIR. Stevenson was
for twenty-four years in newspaper
work, but left the field, he says, when
the news syndicates entered His forte
was reporting legislative work and act
ing as special correspondent He is
seyenty-fve years of age and will re-
retire from his present work soon be
canse of his advanced years He is
subject to fine and Imprisonment if
he gives outany information regarding
facts as to divorces, except the total
number in each county
Mr.. Stevenson has found that from
the beginning of 1887 to the close of
1906, the period covered by him, total
of Az divorces We're granted in this
county. The greatest number was in
1903 when thirty-three were granted.
The least number was in 1892 when
there were only eleven legal separations
During the past year only twelve
couples sought the divorce courts.
