MASS MEETING IN
 BESSEMER TONIGHT
Police Commission Question to
 Be Discussed
NEGRO WOMAN MURDERED
Refused to Go Home With Husband and He Mashed Her Head to Jelly-Eseape From
 Asylum.

Bessemer, January 1Special.)-The opposition in the fight against the police commission has been circulating a peti- tion, which calls for a mass meeting of the citizens to take place at the city hall Monday night. Although the purpose is not definitely outlined, it is understood that they wish to make an appeal to the legislature.
 The persons behind the matter object strenuously to the position taken by Dr. Ragsdale, and intend to petition him to change several features of the bill which hs proposes to introduce in the legisla- ture putting the abolishment of the po- lice commission to a vote of the peo. pie
 They claim that according to the pres ent bill, even should the people vote to abolish, it would not take effect until the next meeting of the legislature They wish to have it stipulated that this would take place immediately.
 Another clause which they want in- serted is one allowing the people to vote at the same time upon the question whether they want the commission on an elective basis, and if so, setting time for such election. Whether this meeting will be used as an instrument to petition the legislature to immediately abolish the commission remains to be seen

Enraged because his wife would not return with him to his home, Sam Due, alias Sam Banks, knocked Annie Due over the head with a blunt instrument and escaped, leaving the woman to die. Her head was mashed into a jelly and she was dead before anyone reached the room.
 It appears that the negroes are original ly from Eutaw, but that they have been running a boarding house near Green Pond for some time. Recently the woman left him on account of a quarrel, came to Bessemer and was living in house No. 1S1G Twelfth avenue, which was occupied by other negroes.
 Saturday afternoon the husband came into town found her and begged her to return with him. She, however refused, and he left the hoNse in rage. Return ing later, when his wife was alone they engaged in a scuffle. knocked over every thing including a lamp, and he finally dealt her tho terrible blow on the head.
 Negroes from the next room rushed in about this time, and found the room in flames where the oil from the lamp had ignited.
 The fire was finally put out. however, and an undertaken was called to take charge of the dead body.

TARIFF RULES ARE
 NOW AGREED UPON
CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN AND GERMAN MlSSIoNERS COMES TO END AT BERLIN. STATEMENT IS GIVEN OUT.

Berlin, January 27.-The conference of American and German tariff commission CTS ended Friday. S. N. D. North, who was head of the American delegation, will sail for the United States next Wednes- day. James l.. Gerry and Nahum l. Stone, the other delegates. will remain here to complete the translation and certifcation of the protocols. The Associated Press some days ago requested both eommis- sions to authorize the publication of summary of the results of the negotia- tions. The American commissioners pro- posed such a summary, and it was dis onssed and modified in session of joint commission. In it's final form it is as fol- lows:
 "The session of commissioners have been harmonious from the start and noth- ing has occurred at any ipoint to inter- fere with the cordial and friendly rela- tions originally established. These ses- sons have been largely devoted to an interchange of information IS to the GUS toms methods of the two countries, and the reasons therefor.
 "No commercial treaty has been nego- 
 CTS had been given no authority to make such a treaty, but in the course of the proceedings there has been established a basis upon which commercial treaty might be concluded, provided the consent of the Reichstag and the American Con gross be given.
 So far as both governments are con- cerned no committals have been made, but the understanding is such that if the two governments shall desire to enter into a commercial agreement the prepar- atory work has been done.
 ''rhe members of both the German and American commissions feel strongly that. even if nc commercial agreement or treaty should follow, the interchange of views and information has been of ut most value in aiding a continuance of the friendly commercial relations between the two nations
 The foreign office will issue an an- nouncement tomorrow identical with the foregoing Following diplomatic usage, the American commissioners felt that the details of the results reached ought to be laid before President Roosevelt first while the German commissioners did not desire them published until after the Reichstag elections and the re-ballots, which in many districts will not be fin- ished before February ,.
 It will do no harm to say that the com migsioners arranged a plan which with the approval of President and the Reich stag win avoid tariff hostilities, and as alluded to in the foregoing authorized summarizes a basis for long term ar- rargement to the mutual advantage of both peoples was fully considered

DOCTOR RECOMMENDS THE ARMY CANTEEN
WOMAN PHYSICIAN SAYS THAT THE CUSTOM SHOULD BE RE- STORED-CALLS ATTENTION TO USE OF SAKE BY JAPANESE.

Was shington January 21-The necessity of the restoration of the canteen in the American army is strongly set forth iu a letter from Dr. Anita Newcomb Me Geo to Capt J. Walter Mitchell of the spanish-American War Veterans asso- cation.
 Dr. McGee. who was formerly an as- sistant surgeon in the army, and later organized corps of nurses under the auspices of the Red Cross society for work among the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese war gives her ob- servations as to the drink habit among the Japanese soldiers and tells of the evil results following the apolishment of the canteen in the United States army.
 Dr. McGee says: Like every one who knows something of the subject l am heartily in favor of giving our Ameri- can soldiers their club (called canteen). where they may enjoy themselves harm 1essly. As a woman and as a physician I deplore the horrible results making a man seek his amusements where he is likely to fall prey to the worst temptations and so l wish you speedy success in re-establishing the canteen in the American army.
 'Instead of our liquors, wines, etc.. the Japanese use beverage they pre- pare themselves, called sake. tasting like sherry served hot, but in character like the light wines or beer formerly supplied in our canteens. I saw this same in Manchuria where 1t was furnished as part of the ration when feasible to pro- vide it, though the quantity was ex- ceedingly small, so that the effect was stimulating, not intoxicating.
 ''I have heard that sometimes when the weather was bitterly cold the daily sake had to be dispensed in the form of a frozen lump, which was as big as a mans thu1hb. In Hiroshima I met from time to time court officials who were on their way from Tokio to tho front with a quantity of sake, which the emperor was sending as a gift to the troops in celebration of some vic- tory
 "This drink was also for sale by the post traders, and yet the temperance of the Japanese soldier was a wonder to my nurses and myself. We saw thou sands of them. but never did we see a soldier drunk"
