POLICE COMMISSION
CASE COMES UP EEroRE SUPREME
 COURT THIS WEEK.
Division Containing Matters of Local City Court are Scheduled to Come
 To The Supreme Court in Next Few Days.

As the Supreme. Court takes up the division in which the cases of the City Court of Montgomery are placed. tnls week doubtless there will be some de- eision on the famous Police Commission matter. The case has attracted no It. tie attention as sentiment in the city is apparently so divided the outcome in the Supreme Court will be watched with interest,"
 In brief the case grows out of an action of Council declaring law pass ed by the Legislature in 1905 provio- ing for Police Commission to be un- constitutional The members of Coun- ell do not want a Police Commission in Montgomery To. test the law private citizen. J.. Lee Walker. filed suit in the City Court asking for an enactment of the law and for Police Commission. The case was fought vigorously on both sides and finally resulted in Judge, Sayre giving his de- cision against the City Council inso- much as he declared the law con stitutional. It was appealed and VIII be brought up in the Supreme Court this week.
 One of the most important features brought out in the litigation was that no one really knew just who was al the head of the Police department in Montgomery. It has been the custom for the members Of CouncH 70 sit as a court on. cases of appeal above the head of the Chief of Police. Whether or not the Mayor Is the real head or the department or whether that posi- tion Is vested in the rights of the aldermen seems to. have been the most bewildering question that came up In the trial. Should a Police Commits sion be appointed 1t would have full power over the department and Coun- ell and the Mayor would not longer have any direct Jurisdiction.
 Two other cases of importance will come up. They are the Knabe damage suit against the Montgomery Traction Company in which the plaintiff secured judgment for $10,000 and the Richard D. Parks case in which damages to the extent Of $3,50O were allowed. They have both been appealed to the Su- preme Court by the Traction Com pany.

Bryanism in Alabama.


 friend, reading what The Register has said about Mir. Bryan and Ala bama Democracy, writes: "I fear that for once you have made bad break in Bryanism. l have no doubt that vast number of intelligent people of your State feel as We do in this natter that Is. we feel certain that the old party Will go down any way, and we had best go down under any man rath- CT than be ridden over by the Peerless failure"
 As others may misunderstood what was said, as this friend has done. 1t will be well to lay emphasis upon the fact that The Register did no more than recognize and acknowledge n Democracy is pledged in advance to Bryan. and that Alabama Democracy ana Bryanism mean the same thing: that there will not be an anti Bryan chirp in the State Convention. and that Alabama will send an instructed Bryan delegation to the Nationa, Convention The Register ridiculed the plans of those who proposed to get up an antl- Bryan demonstration in the conyen- ton. IS belated and impracticable. and advised that if the Birmingham men are seriously disposed. they should call convention of tn cir own and begin an independent movement. It might amount to no more than a protest against DemocracY'G absorption in Bryan. but it would be entitled to pub
 
 For our part. we are not so sure of MT. Bryan's defeat as we were six months ago. nor so ready to say that the party is making a tactical mistake in giving Mir. Bryan its enthusiastic support. This does not change in any way our sentiment as to Bryanism. It Is the candid opinion of an observer of public affairs. If MT. Bryan can win be is entitled to his chance. we think. Now, if he cannot win, and does not win. we have the problem at last solv- ed: Mfr. Bryan. with a united party behind him, and yet a failure. will be disposed of IS political factor as far as the Presidency is concerned. It Is worth a great deal to the Democratic Party to have this problem solved.
 Anyway, it is our opinion. and we think it is the opinion of Alabama Democrats-whether goldbugs or si1- Verites or what not--that Bryanism is better than Rooseveltism. and when he Is nominated against the Republ- cans hand made candidate. we are bound to do what we can to get him elected.

 One fact which shows how by mere whisker Atlanta won the pennant Is that the Crackers scored less runs than any other club in the league barring Montgomery. Nashville lead In the number of runs scored, with 514; and Birmingham, a second division club also, was second with .493. Memphis scored Al and Atlanta 429,

Deputy Commissioner Sexton Wired New York Company to sus-

Deputy Commissioner Sexton Wired
 New York Company to sns-
 pend Business In Alabama.
 Deputy Insurance Commissioner AL bert c. Sexton yesterday wired the Prevalent Savings Life Assurance So- ciety of New York, of the suspension of its license in the State of Alabama. with discoveries which have been made by the insurance commission of New York that the depreciation of the com pany's securities have been such that 1t is now so badly impaired in capital that the insurance commissioners in New York. Colorado. Tennessee and Georgia. saw fit to suspend it's license.
 The telegram of Commissioner Sex ton was as follows:
 "Provident Savings Life Assurance
 Society. New York City. N. r.:
 Pursuant to official information re- ceived by this department to the effect that you have been suspended from further business in New York on &C., count of impairment of capital. this department hereby revokes and sus- bends from this date all certificates of to your agents until further notice, by virtue of authority Section 2575, Code of Alabama. 1896.
 (signed1 "A. c. sexton."
 This is one of the companies which has suffered from the depreciation in stocks. and was considered one of the strongest in New York. It was or. ganized in 1875 and has continued business successfully since that date.
 The capital stock of the concern was $100o00. but in the annual report, made December 21, 1906, the showing was such as to indicate that the com pany was one of the strongest for tn e amount of capital invested. in the country. This statement showed that the real estate holdings were $3,402.S and the book value was $2,900,78l. .,4-

TO REDUCE BOARD
BASEBALL ASSOCIATION TO HOLD
 MEETING THIS WEEK.
Discussed And Board of Directors Reduced In

M s4h Mempnl9. llJ f
 Now that the meeting of the South ern League Is over there will probably be meeting of the local association month or more past plans for a meet ing have been laid out for some reason it has never been held.
 When the meeting Is called a report of the finances of the past season will be made to the stockholders and direc- tors. The most important thing that will be done at the meeting however. will fbe the reduction of the Board of Directors from twelve--as is the present board--to six at the outside and prossibly fewer.
 When the Baseball Association was first organized last January the Board of Directors consisted of the follow ing nine members: W. H. Ragland, T. J. Reynolds. Bernard Frank. E: F. Amerine, "A. Lanier. Jr.. s. H. Dent. H. Strasburger. Later the names of S. H. Mclr and William A. Bellingraph, were added to the Board of Directors. making eleven members on the present board. Just which of these names will be dropped remains to be seen, but it seems to be pretty we'll understood that numerically the board will be materially reduced. The present of- ficers of the Baseball Association are: President R. J. Chambers; vice. presi- dent, Bernard Frank, secretary and treasurer. J. R. Kling.i These officers will probably be reelected.
