HIRE FOREIGN BOAT.
Panama Commission Leases Famous
 British War Transport.

British War IranspOrt.
 New York, Aug. 1.-Because there is mt an available American steamship, the management of the Panama Rail- way and Steamship Company say the British steamer Dunnator Castle, which carried Lord Roberts, Lord Kitchener ana General Sir Redvers Butler to the Transyaal to fight the Boers has been leased by the United States Govern ment and sails today for Colon with Secretary James Bucklin Bishop of the Panama Canal Commission and 16O other passengers on board
 This leasing of a ship hying Tor s,en flag and manned by foreign crew has subjected the Government to no little criticism. At the recent iaunching of the Creole, the recent ad- dition to the Morgan Line fleet, B. H. Uarriman said that If the powers that ba at Washington chose to use foreign bottoms in coastwise trade which the Ia WY forhids. he would carry coal around Cane Horn to Pacific ports in foreign bottoms.
 No secret is made at the office of the Panama Steamship Company of the Soct that the Dunottar Castle was re- leased upon recommendation from that | office and with the Approval of the Secretary of War. who is in actual control of the company, but 1t is stat | ed there was no alternative.

KILLED BROTHER-IN-LAW. Sensational Shooting Array Takes
 nIA~~ NA~-

Russeflville, Aug. 1.-(Special)- Near Red Bay yesterday. Lucien Har- ris, a white farmer, shot and killed his brother-in Jaw. Gopher Jackson, another young farmer.
 There were no eye-witnesses to the killing. After killing Jackson. he met and told some parties he had killed Jackson.
 It Is said the killing grew out of Jackson's successful attempt some months since to impersonate Harris during the latter's absence from home. and by this means debauched Mrs Har- ris.
 Harris came bafore the grand jury at the last term of Circuit Court but that body refused to indict.

The defense put on no witt nesses at all today. The attorney for the defendant said that the killing was done in elf-defense.
 Quite number of people listened to the testimony brought out. The de- ceased was very popular in the city.

SENSATIONAL
 CHARGE
WEIR ALLEGED TO HAVE NEG-
 LECTED DUTY.
Man Arrested for Vagrancy Furnishes List of Names and Places Where Gambling is Said to
 Thrive.

Birmingham. Aug. 1.-(Special.)- John J. Durfeld, who has been ar rested here several times by the police on charges of vagrancy and for being around gambling houses, today went before Police Commissioner Lucien Brown and preferred charges against Chief of Police W. E. Wier and Po- liceman Street, alleging neglect of duty.
 Durfield states that he was arrested yesterday on a charge of vagrancy and that the police made no investigation as to his being in the employ of the Birmingham Sign Manufacturing Com pany. He ayers that Chief Wier told him that he was running skin gambling business" to the detriment of gambling houses which rented places. Durfeld intimated that he was sore at the head of the police de- partment. In preferring his charge Durfield furnished a list of places where he said gambling was going on and gave a list of names of people he says worked in these places.
 While there is noO much credence placed in the charges of neglect of duty, the allegations of Durfield will probably bring to light considerable interesting matter in Birmingham. Po- lice Commissioner Brown made Dur field sign the charges he brought. To a newspaper man Durfeld announced that there would be much to write about at the next meeting of the Po- lice Commission.
 Chief Wier laughed when informed of the charges that had cen brought by Durfield. Durfeld dressed well, sports diamonds and is well known about town. He asserts that gambling Is going on In several places in the city despite statements of the police men that the evil has been run out of the city Inasmu h as Police Commits sioner Lucien Brown Is chief deputy under Colonel Higdon 1t is likely that the information concerning gambling houses in Birmingham will reach the arand jury at the next sitting.

State treasurer Seed Says He Plans on Keeping Only Few Theas-

The Bank of Opelika and the First National Bank of Athens have been designated as State Repositories and may receive Si0.000 each. Added to the banks already designated as depos- storfes they make a total of eighty seven, in which the State may deposit s1,eo0 900.
 Hon. waiter D. Seed. Treasurer of the State, stated his opinion yesterday that the deposits to be made by the State would not exceed s2,ooo.ooo. and that to handle this sum Governor Co., sner would probably name forty banks, each to receive $10.00o, as Repositories 10 receive the residue of $40o.ooo to complete the total of $2,00o.000 con- sempiated by the authorities.
 T think the deposits to be made by the state," said Mir. Seed yester- day. twill not go far beyond s2.o0o.o0o and as the Governor recently has been stipulating that each designated bank should have s1e,000 as a maximum of deposits I estimate that about forty more banks will be named.

This done. the speak CT said, 1t. will be easy to reach an equitable agreement between capital and labor.
 MT. Van Cleave expressed his oelleI that nearly all employers favor agree rnents with labor as making for stable business conditions over term or wears. This gives employers an op- nortunity to make contracts and 10 plan for few years in advance. Such collective bargaining, Mir. Van CleaVe asserted, is losing favor because less has been accomplished than was ex- pected. The reason for this tallure was said to be an unwillingness or in- ability to reach agreements that were equitable. A Deploring the absence of friendly ana jconfdentiaI relations between employ CTS and workers, MT. Van CleaNe praised the work of President Roose- velt's anthracite coal strike commits sion, which declared for the open shop" and against boycotting anu blacklistIng.
 The principles enunciated by that commission from the basis upon which employers and workers should meet from now onward. They should be in- sisted upon. They are the Magma Charta of Americas industrial liberty.

In the vaults here in the Capitol shall endeavor to keep on hand only st,o0o or s5,oeo to be used tor immediate or frequent needs. such as. for instance. the .caahinE of war rants of the employees of the Capitol
 In order to pursue this policy thor oughly, shall make arrangements to have deposits contemplated by tax collectors sent to banks in other coun- ties if the collectors home banks can- not take the deposits because of ai- ready having the maximum allowed them."
 MT. Seed received yesterday from Attorney General A. M. Garber blank forms to be employed by the banks designated as State Repositories to transfer to the State the Alabama bonds which are to be their collateral security, and by the State in acknowl- edging receipt of the bonds Copies or the forms will be printed at once.
 Treasurer Seed and Auditor W. w. Brandon have been signing bonds to be deposited by the State and the sig natures have excited both interest and admiration. For both of the officials write beautifully legible signatures, which also are large. and while they were complimented upon the cIerkli- ness of the script they were merrfiy tested upon the fact that each had wrote his name so large that 1t over lapped the line that the Governor Is to sign upon. And as both the ofh- cials are sometimes named in the same sentence with the words the Gov. ernor'' and next term" the joke was not altogether pointless.
 Governor Conner and Secretary Of State Frank N. Julian have not yet signed the bonds
 Each of the new bonds is numbered and lettered individually and will be recorded and described accurately, and the theft of one would therefore occa- sion no loss to its owner and no profit to its stealer.
