Meet WRAY WITH THE KILLING,

fore Judge Dan A. Greene.
II. j. Matthews was examined by the

in the room at the time Freeman was
shot; had just come in three or four min

towards Freeman just in time to see him
fall; went to look for a doctor and re-
turned in about ten minutes; followed
Dr. Fox up the stairs; saw a pistol lying
beside Freeman, 1t being down towards
his feet; said the pistol shown him was
like the one he saw on the floor
On cress-examination witness said that
before the shooting everyone in the room
seemed in good humor, were joking and
laughing and were getting ready to leave,
Witness said he did not see the shot fired
and did not know how Freeman came to
be shot.

committing suicide" Freeman laughed at
the remark
Marie Martin testified she was standing
close to Freeman when he was shot, the
smoke rose from the floor between them:
could not tell how he was shot, did not
see anyone with a pistol; saw Wray PICK
up the pistol from beside Freeman and
told him to put it down and let 1t lie
where it was.
The state announced 1t had one more
witness, Landsdown, but as he was sick
the state rested its case, and asked the
privilege of putting him ON the stand to-
day.
The defendant examined Professor

is INVITED HERE
SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE COMMIT
TEE MUST MEET SOMEWHERE
IN NEAR FUTURE TO DISCUSS

nicipal code committeeman 10 meet in
this city, and he is of the opinion that
it will be accepted. The committee IS

members of the senate and four from the
house were appointed to draw up gen
eral municipal code. This committee is
made np of Senators Strother of Dade-
vile. Teasley Of Montsomery and Gum
OF Clarke county, Representatives Gran
ford of Walker, King OF Jefferson, Gun
ter of Montgomery, Sherrod Of Lawrence
and Norville of Mobile.
Z Its meetings will be long and strenuous.
The action will affect every municipality
in the state and each one will want some
special provision. The cities will be
classified and all their general laws re-
vised.
Mayor Ward has offered the use of the
city hall for the proceedings and Mr.
King IS willing that his rooms be used,
Birmingham would be glad to have the

i At the Gayety.

This weeks attraction at the New Cay
ETY. theatre is considered by many to be
the best of this season. 1t contains some
acts that are undoubtedly novelties,
among them being the dance of the
Seven Neis.'' which was such a sensa-
ton in New York all this winter when it
was produced by the Metropolitan Opera
company in connection with "Salome,'
the famous opera which the owners of
the Metropolitan would not permit on the
stage.
There are also other novelties, such as
the acrobatic act in which two men and
two women perform some unusual feats.
There will be several amateur acts to-
morrow night, and a prize has been Of
fered for the three which receive the
most applause. Amateur night has be-
come a feature at the Gayety. There are
two performances every day at this pop
uIar theatre, afternoon and evening.

WAY Is OPENED FOR
MORE IMMIGRATION
SOUTH CAROLINA CASE DECIDED
FAVORABlY BY THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL-oTHER SOUTHERN
STATES ACT ON SAME LINES.

washlngton March Information re-
ceived here today renders it clear that
the immigration authorities as one re-
suit of the private conference recently
held. in which the President members of
his cabinet, and prominent men of the
south have participated, will interpret the
existing immigration law as it was in
terpreted in the South Carolina case The
ATTORNEY General has held that the im-
grants landed at Charleston, S. c., last
November are legally in this country.
They were induced to come to America
by authorized agents of the state OF
South Carolina, and the passage money
of some. at least of them, was paid by
the state, and of others by contributions
of citizens. ftt ey
Several other of the southern states
have decided to seek immigration along
the same lines as were followed I'm South
Carolina, and it is understood they will
not be interfered with in the carrying
out of their plans prior to the first of
next July, on which date the act of
February 90 1907, will become effective.
In other words. such immigrants as
present themselves to the ports of this
country before July 1 next, under con-
ditions the same as surrounded those
who arrived at Charleston, S. c., last
November will be permitted to land.
Meantime Attorney General Bonapafte
will examine carefully the new 1mml-
grafton law, and will prepare an interpre-
tation of 1t for the guidance of the adj
ministration, and of the southern states.

New Orleans, March 13-Dr. j. J. Fer

a paper which he said he had been
authorized to issue as the official state
ment of his government in regard to the
war between Honduras and Nicaragua.
In part this statement is as follows:

trouble between Honduras and Nicaragua
started by revolutionary invasion of the
territory of the former from the frontier

court of arbitration met at the city of

Honduras and Nicaragua constituted

SOUTHERN ICE MEN
WILL NOT COMBINE
CONVENTION OF ICE EXCHANGE
IN ATLANTA DECIDES THAT
PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST
TRUSTS is TOO STRONG.

> Atlanta, March l3.-The proposition con-
sdered by the Southern Ice Exchange
at it's annual convention here today to
8 form a combination for the benefit Of
the trade in the southern states was de-
feated and no effort VIII be made, accord
Ing to the decision, to raise price or fix
uniform rates. The reasons which
brought this decision were that legisia-
lion and public sentiment are too strong
against combinations in the south; that
conditions affecting manufacture vary
too muchs in different communities, and
what would be a reasonable price in one
place would be too low in another; and
that manufacturers choosing to enter the
combination would make it impossible to
maintain prices. The antitrust legisla
lion in the southern states was discussed
at length and severely criticised. although
Its effectiveness was tacitly admitted by
the action taken Of tho exchange today.
The convention will conclude its sessions

that Mrs. Mcmillan sent to police head

She cannot account for his absence un-

Mr.. Mcmillan had driven in from At

ago. His wife writes that he is a good
photographer and may be known by his

The fact that the coat left in the Metro

contained several Photographs carried
some connection in the minds OF several
policemen who are Investigating the case.
Another point is that the man who left
the coat is described as having a red mus
