George Ann, a negro with a curious name and at least two aliases. has have been a free negro had he left Montgomery three weeks ago when he was given his freedom tt police headquarfers, but George preferred to remain within the borders of his old home. As the result. George is behind bars at the county jail accused of an assault with intent to murder.
 Rather odd circumstances and ex- ceptionaIIy good luck for the county brought about the negro's arrest.
 It had been known that George was wanted for some offense, and some three weeks ago the police succeeded in locating him under the name or Charlie Waithall. The negro was held for four days, but no charge could be found against him.. Clerk Hughes of the City Court looked oyer his list of indictments but couldn,t ma one to answer to such a name. George was a happy person when he was given his liberty at the police station.

HOW NEW CODE AFFECTS CITY Much Interest in Its
 Provisions. CHANGES IN MONTGOMERY President of Council Practically
 Becomes Vice Mayor. NC Aldermen-at-Bage1 1Enfarged Pow CTS for school Tsoart--commission for Police and terhnps for
 Public works.

Tho Municipal Cole Act which was yesterday for the first time officially published. was one bf the chief topics of conversation on the streets of Mont gomery throughout the day. Exeep- nonai interest was manifested ' the various clauses and sections of tlse bill, and much gratificatibn expressed over tts general text.
 City Attorney Mcintyre, who was yesterday approachfd concerning the tt good one. Tt Is the first time" he said. tthe Legislative of Alabama ever undertook to pass general act touch- ing upon every dehil of municipal gov ernment. and to apply alike to all the cities and towns of the State. It is. therefore. not tclbe expected that the bill Is wikout intperfections"
 However. MT. Mcintyre was of the opinion that the pill would work better results than thepresent laws operant, and that much d the evil in city gov ernment would ke obvfated by the ab- servance of the new articles.
 The new bill contains 201 sections and is perhaps the longest single act that the Legislature of Alabama has ever passed. Subdivision five of sec- tion I04 of the new Constitution pro- hibits the Legislature from incorporat- ing city or town by special act. This limitation. incidentally, upon the pow CTS of the Legislature is new In the Alabama Fundamental law, the Consti- tuition of 1901 being the first to con- tain such a provision.
 Prior to 1901 the Legislature exer- cised great generosity in passing spe- ciai acts to incorporate the various towns and cities of the State. All to the larger cities. like Montgomery. Mo- bile Birmingham apd Selma. have had their municipal governments organized under special acts of the Legislature. This is also true of many of the smaller towns.
 As the Legislature had no longer the power to Incorporate cities or amend their charters by special act. 1t became necessary to adopt a general law under which every city and town in the State might have the proper and adequate means of governing itself.
 An Important Measure.

Had to Search for Indictment
 on Which to Put Negro in JniI.

Thinking that danger of accusations had vanished. George decided to re- main in the city. In the meantime. though, Sheriff Belser conducted q thorough and systematic search for papers containing the charges. After diligent investigation, the problem was solved
 An indictment. returned by the grand Jury In 1904. contained the charge of assault to murder against Charlie Leg gins. alits George Ann. Inquiry set tied the fact that Charlie Leggins. alias George Ann, was one and the same person as Charlie Walthrall. alais George Ann. The police rearrested George late Wednesday night and he was committed to Jail yesterday morn ing.
 The alleged offense dates back so far that county authorities do not ac- curateiy know the details of the as- saslt as charged. The sheriffs books indicate that the witnesses in the case are Andrew Porter and Mir. Burkhardt.

their families who build the roads for

even though it may violently anger
few Baltimore city sports who
never built a road or paid a public
tax except in the shape of a fine for
having violated the law.
1t is being shown daily-the coun-

those who do not know how to re-

exception to this rule. True such

their recklessness; but we protest
that in Hartford they must arrange
to do so without killing the modest

During the past few years Hartford
county has constructed number of
excellent roads at heavy cost. The
main thoroughfares have been select
ed for Improvement so as to benefit
as many people as possible. A GER
tain class of travellers however are in
effect largely appropriating to their
own use these highways, and it has
about come to the point when the
question must be decided whether we
will dedicate to the use of a few our
model roads and compel ordinary
travellers to take the back road, and
by-paths, or whether we will require
automobilists to obey the law and re-
spect the rights of others. A leading
citizen a few days ago deplored the
present improvement of the Kalmia
and Hickory road since he would
have to abandon its use because of
automobiles!
We are not attemptingt to deny the
usefulness of the automobile or to de-
prive its owner of its reasonable en-
joyment. 1t is recognized as being a
model vehicle for travelling under
many circumstances. There are at
present number of machines used
daily on the narrow crowded streets
of Bel Air to the eminent delight of
their occupants and generally with
out discomfort to the travelling pub
lie; but it is self evident that coun-
try highways on which the young
and the old, the rich and the poor all
have to travel, cannot be traversed
at speed of from twenty to forty
miles per hour without perpetual
menace to all other travellers, and a
daily sacrifice of their own rights if
not their lives.
1t is not uncommon in driving the
FIVE miles from Bel Air to Church
vile to pass FIVE or six machines
which defantly hold the middle of
the road at rate which means dis
aster to any one colliding with them;
and the spirited horse can very
seldom be found able to stand their
whirlwind speed. Archer's hill down
which they coast with lightning
speed is a perfect death-trap for
travellers who, rounding the curve
at the bottom, come suddenly upon
such an automobile. 1t is useless
to advise that the machines number
be taken and the chauffeur prosecut-
ed, for one frequently cannot dis
tinguish the inmates, still less read
small figures on the rear. 1t is this
reckless driving of one of the most
wonderful inventions of the age
which has so largely brought auto
mobiling into general disrepute, and
a healthy public sentiment will be re-
stored only by compelling them to
recognize the rights of others while
enjoying their own.
We submit that the time has come
when the County Commissioners, in
whose especial care the public high
ways are placed, take the necessary
steps to check this abuse. Any Sun
day in the year if they will arrange
with the proper officers to exercise a
little vigilance at both ends of the
Churchville road, by using the tele-
phone an automobile can be stopped
and held for violating the speed law;
and we are confident it will meet
with the cordial approval of some
