NO RECORD OF CASES
JUDGES HAVE NEGLECTED TO
 KEEP STATEMENT.
Attorney General sarber Writes Cir cl,lsr Letter to Circuit Judges, Calling Their Attention to
 Section of the Statutee.

circular letter has been sent to the Scircuft Judges of the State by Attor- uey General Alex NJ. Garber, remind ing them of the important provisions contained in Section 54s5 of the Code, in reference to the personal record that Is to be kept by the judge In the cases. wherein the defendants are con vfcted and sentenced to more than five years Imprisonment In the peniten- tiary.
 Such record, when made by the judge, { is of the greatest value to the Board of Pardons when it is considering ap- piications for clemency.
 The provision of the code, as a gem eral thing, has been overlooked by the Circuit Judges. They have in many in stances failed to keep the personal rec ords and have been unable to assist the Hardening Board in arriving at a decision on important applications for pardons.
 The section provides that the presid- ing judge fin his notes of records shall set down among other things, the cir cumstances surrounding the offense and the character of the testimony against the accused. It further pro- vides that the statement must be sign cd by the presiding judge and for warded to the Governor within thirty days after the case Is tried.
 Section 5455 in full follows:
 When any defendant, on conviction. Is sentenced to Imprisonment in the penitentiary. for the term of five years or more. it is the duty of the prAziding judge to make a statement in writing, stating faith theshdiuau shrd1uashrdlu setting forth the name of the defen- dant. the term of the court at which he was tried. the offense of which he was convicted, the character of the evi dence against him, the circumstances sof aggrevation or mitigation developed in the trial and the proof in reference to his previous character; which. state ment must be signed by the judge and must within thirty days thereafter be transmitted by the clerk to the Cover nor to be filed in the executive office.

EACH TEAM GETS NINE HITS
walsh, Maxwell and Brandt Take Turns Doing the Slab Work, walsh Having the Best.
 Control of the Trio.

The second and last of the Mobile games went to Mslarky's crowd yes- terday afternoon by a score of 14 to D, and, as on the day before, most of the Montgomery runs came in by grace of the fumbles and yellow work of the bunch from the Gulf City.
 The hits were even, nine on. each side. but timely swetting by Montgom- cry with wild throws and bunglesome work of the Mobile fnfield proved. McCay and his men. Kemmer and Mc- Cay were the chief offenders for Mo- bile. though each of them got couple of hits.
 Woodie Thornton played a great them for two sacks,
 The longest hit that has been made on the new grounds so far was by Fred Houtz. when, in the third inning. he punched a terrific drive that rolled back of the clubhouse in deep left field, Lofty getting homerun on 1t.
 Clayton Perry also hit the ball hard. though both of his homeruns were lucky affairs that bounded out of the reach of the fielders.
 The most satisfactory event or the afternoon was the way in which Con nors was brought in Non the squeeze. the third time 1t has been worked dur ing these Mobile games.
 Walsh, Maxwell and Brandt did the pitching for the locals. Walsh having the best control of the trio. Maxwell did nos have his usual control. the in- activity of the past few days not hay Ing done him any good. The sentiment of the local fans was plainly shown by the applause the Arkansas youngster received when he went in the box
 In the second and third innings the local infield got a little shaky and Mobile scored one run fin each of the innings, leading by one run in the third. The locals tied the score in the fourth, nd fs. ho AFth 70 MnhtiA tnf1Gth hIaW up and five local runs came In, Mo- bilt having put in two runs, making the score to in favor of Montgom- cry
 MeCay's people never scored again. while the locals got three fn the sixth. one in the seventh and four lagniappe three more in the eighth, the final score being IA to 2.

NEGROES STONE CAR
PENSACOLA CONDUCTOR IN FIGHT
 WITH BLACKS.
Five Men are Known by Police and Will Be Arrested--Former News
 paper Man in IafI 5s gs.

Pensacola, Fla, March 23.-fSpecial.) Officers are searching today for five negro men who, last night shortly be- fore midnight, attacked Conductor Bowman of the Street Railway. and when they were worsted in the fight, hurled stones and bricks at the car. in which was seated number of ladies and children.
 The trouble started as the car, which was running on the East Hill line, stopped in the outskirts of the city and seven negroes boarded 1t, five men and two women. One of the men gave the conductor 25 cents. and when he asked how many he desired to pay for. replied in very surly and insulting manner: T didn't ask for any change, did I?" The conductor rang up the five fares and passing to the two negroes nearest the end of the car collected two more fares. As he did so. the man who had paid the quarter claimed that he had paid for the two men and demanded that 10 cents be returned to him. This the conductor refused to do, and the negroes joined in the threats of what they would do before the night was over.
 They left the car at the junction corner Gregory and Palafox Street, and the conductor thought no more of the matter. On the return trip the car was boarded by two ladies and sev- eral children and one male passenger, and when it reached the junction, the five negro men were found waiting for it, the women having disappeared. Two of the negroes jumped to the platform, and, using obscene language, demanded the return of the 10 cents. This the conductor refused and ordered them from the car. When they refused to leave, he landed on one of them. knock ing him from the car, and then en -i gagged the other negro in fight, finally putting him of the car. As he did SO, another negro jumped for him, but he, too, was knocked down.
 The negroes then resorted to bricks and stones. which were hurled into the car To save the passengers from in- jury. the conductor had the car leave the Junction at full epeed. but it was followed by fusilade of bricks The right hand of the conductor was badly cut by pieces of glass.
 E Some of the negroes are known. and it is expected they will be captured.

MOBILE TEAM PROVES
 UNUSUALLY FAST ONE
Bernie McCay Has a Good Bunch of Youngsters and WiIl Make
 Good Showing.

Bernie McCay will leave with his Mo- bile team for home this morning. The two games here have done both teams lots of good and have brought out the weak spots of each.
 The Mobile team is an unusually fast one and should make a lot of trouble In the Cotton States League this summer. They have an exception ally fast outfield, but the inf1eld is a bit ragged.
 if they can steady down. this de- partment, there will be very few teams that can show them the way home. and the prediction is made they will have no trouble in holding a posi- ton near the topmost' round of the summer.
