AN UNUSUAL ARREST
SHERIFF ARRESTED FOR OPENAN" v A PRISONERS MAIL.
The Federal Authorities Say That This
 Is Merely q Test Case and VIII Es- | tablish a Legal Precedent.

Chicago. Nov. 5-Fred F. Carter sheriff of Lake County, Ind, and one of the most prominent residents or Crown Point. was arrested yesterday by United States Marshal David .. Ram kin of Indianapolis. charged with nav ing opened the mail of Alexander Fa- leskt, a former prisoner.
 The case is unusual in the history or criminal jurisprudence. If the Govern ment establishes it's contentious, 1t Is declared, sheriffs, deputies and Wardens and other officials in penitentiaries' iails and similar institutions through = out the country are in danger Of similar experience. ion the other hand, friends of Carter point out that 1T of- ficials in jails and prisons arc forbidden to open the mail of prisoners, plots for escape may be matched with Ntmpunt- ty, and forbidden articles, ranging from cigarettes to the deadliest poi sons may be sent through the mall to all prisoners
 Sheriff Carter was taken into custo- dy on a warrant issued by United States Commissioner Charles l.. Sur prise of Hammond He fur lnfshed bail in S1 ,O00, to appear before the Federal grand jury in Indianapolis next Fri day. Federal officials declare that the opening of letters of a prisoner comes clearly within the Federal statute for bidding tampering with the mails.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
 FAMOUS BANANA SUIT
verdict TRendered for One Dollar and
 SeVenty-flve Gents.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Originating in magistrates court in Chesterfield Coun- ty South Carolina, and involving a dispute over a claim for $1.75, the case of the Seaboard Air Line Railway vs. Seegers Bros, found its way through tNe State, Circuit and Supreme Courts into the Supreme Court of the United States, and was there decided today in an opinion by Justice Brewer in favor of the Seegers.
 The money was demanded by Seegers on account of damage done a bunch of bananas shipped from Columbia, s. C., to the town of McBee, that State, in 1908, in accordance with a State law providing for damages in such cases. The company refused payment and suit thereupon was instituted.
 Justice Brewer said:
 Tt is not an act leveled against cor porations alone, but against all conn mon carriers. The classification is based upon the nature of the business, that business being of public charac- ter.
 "Further, the matter to be adjusted is one peculiarly within the knowl- edge of the carrier. It receives the goods and has them in its custody un- til the carriage Is completed. It knows what 1t received and what 1t delivered. It knows what'injury was done during the shipment and how it was done.
 While in this case, the penalty may be large compared with the value of the shipment. yet 1t must be remember ed that small shipments are the ones which especially need the protection of penal statutes like this. If a large amount Is in controversy, the shipper can afford to litigate. When there Is but the trihe of a dollar or two the shipper cannot well afford a law suit, and yet justice requires that his claim be adjusted and paid with reasonable promptnesS',

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated. 1t is a Warn
 ing of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the night before, you do not have toe look at your tongue to know that the stom- ach is upset, the head Is aching with a dull rhythm, and that. all the world looks black and dfeary.
 It may have been lobster Newburgh. Welsh rarebit CT some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than the morning after. There is no need to look at the tongue thermometer then for symptoms of trouble. You naturally go to ysur box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and with one. of the little relievers bring joy and gladness to the physical system.
 The real time to watch the tongue is all of the time. If it is coated with a white fur, or'possibly with dark trim minRs even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of in- digestion that 1t needs help. yet the coating shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na.
 Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, soare- liable in it's curative action upon the stomach that MrA Fowler, the local agent give an absolute guarantee with every 5j-cent box he sells to refund the money unless the remedy gives ab- solute and complete satisfaction.

METHODISTS MEET
SEVENTEENTH CONVENTION OF PROTEsTANTs.
Win Be Called to Order This Morning at Bfbb Street Church-- To Con-
 slider Question of UnsOn.


 The seventy ninth annual session of the Alabama Conference of the Meth- odist Protestant Church will assemble this morning at 10 o'clock at the Blob Street Methodist Protestant Church and will continue through Sunday. Rev. w. c. Mcdaniel. president of the Conference, will preside. Rev. Nor dicai Barnett is secretary.
 This denomination. as we'll as the church in which the Conference will be held, has not always had smooth sailing in this State. Indeed, 1t Is an open secret that internal dissensions have done a great deal to hinder this splendid ecclesiastical democracy, in its growth and development.
 Time was when the Bibb Street Church was one of the leading churches in Montgomery. It Is not so considered now, but in a modest way, is still doing a good work in the city.
 The Confere nee is not considered so influential in the State, as it was in te-bellum days, and its personnel not quite so learned or eloquent, but in it's work in being instrumental in conversions; in supporting the gen. eral beneyolences of the church; In building houses of worship, and par sonages, the> denomination is doing better perhaps than before.
 At this session of the Conference the Union question will come forward for discussion. As is well known, ne- gotiations have been going on for some time in this direction between the CongregationaI Church, the United Brethren Church and the Methodist Protestant Church.
 Delegates will be elected at this ses- sion to represent the Alabama Dis trict in the General Conference to be held in Pittsburg, Pa.. next May. A number of the general agents and connectional officers will be present and address the body during It's. ses- sions. The Blob Street people have made all necessary arrangements for the | Conference. The public Is invited ano | axnac+ad fo attend

 Friends of the dead man say that the construction of the will may be of value as bearing upon the motive of a possible crime in connection with ms death.

CONFERENCE

 at The Hague. American Delegation Stood In Q Favor able Position With the Powers
 and Occupied Generally .
 Neutral Attitude.

New York, Nov. 5-General Horace Porter and Joseph H. Choate, two of the American Ambassadors to the re- cent Peace Conference at The Hague. returned home today on the steamer Krin Prinzessin Cecilie and will go on to Washington in few days to sub init q report to the President.
 Both MT. Porter and MT. Choate ex- pressed stehmselves as being entirely satisfied with the result of the second conference. Because two of the princi- pal propositions before the conference, obligatory arbitration and limitation of armaments, failed to take positive form. Mir. Choate said the idea prevail ed in some quarters that little had been accomplished. This view. he de- clared, would be dispelled, when the re- suits of the conference were studied and their far-reaching effect fully real txed.
 The Porter Proposition.
 No less than fourteen resolutions. dealing with various phases of war were adopted, and the conference also declared in favor of many more prop ositions, among them, the doctrine of obligatory arbitration. One of the prin- cipal conventions adopted unanimous iy was the proposition offered by the American delegation through General Porter, and designated, "The Porter Propositfon." This convention prohib- its the use of armed force for the re- covery of contractual debts until all efforts at arbitration have failed. The importance of the convention was em- phasixed that it was signed by every creditor and debtor nation.
 Article One of the convention reads: The contracting powers are agreed moi to have recourse to armed force for the recovery of contractural debts claimed from the government of one country by the government of another country, as due to it's citizens. However, this stipulation shall not apply when the debtor State refuses or4 leaves without reply an offer of arbitration, or in case of acceptance. renders impossible the establishment of a compromise. or af. ter arbitration does not conform to the award"
 Conference Was Success.
 Discussing the work of the confer. ence, General Porter said today:
 T think 1t will be fully recognized when the work of tho conference ts studied and understood. that if thil conference had succeeded in adopting only one of the fourteen conventions fnaIly agreed upon, 1t would have ra. paid the nations for bringing 1t about
