FAKE NAMES USED .ON N, LIFE BALLOTS
So Testifies Scrugham'S Sten- ographers in Conspiracy Case
c. F. HARRINGTON TESTIFlES
The Man Who Turned States Evidence Against the International Commit tee on Cross-Examination Isn't
 Positive About Alterations.

New York, May 14.-With Charles F.. Darlington, who has turned states evil dence, up for cross-examination, the hearing in the conspiracy charges against George B. Scrugham, Charles Strrup and Darlington, employees of the international policy holders committee, was resumed in police court today It is charged that Scrugham, Darlington and Stirrup. with others, were concerned in the illegal al iteration of ballots, ballot envelopes and returns in the recent election of the New York Life Insurance company.
 Darlington on cross-examnaton said the return of the envelopes with the ballots were returnable to "Ion. Richard Olney." About 10000 in all were re- ceived
 Darlington could not give any detailed reply as to whether all the defective bal lots were New York Life ballots or not. He said he knew that he had seen few. He knew nothing of the insertion of the names of subscribing witnesses save what Robert J. Smack, employed in the office, had told him.
 MT. Smack" the witness continued" lOld iilc Abetl III AllC iVoi ol thS i0Ohi with MT. Scrugham he had been writing in the names of subscribing witnesses
 Later he said he had another talk with Smack and he had told him what he, Smack, had done in the writing in of names of witnesses.
 Darlington said he could not repeat MT. Scrugham's words when the latter gave him instructions as to the marking of ballots.
 "As a matter of fact did not MT. Scrugham tell you that when the name of J. Henry Smith appeared on a ballot to copy 1t on an envelope in that fash ion and not as James H. Smith or J. II. Smith?" asked MT. Stanchfield.
 "As l remember it, that is what he said" replied Darlington.
 "Can you swear that there were any instructions to copy handwriting as near ly as possible?'
 "No I cannot swear positively as to that But it is my impression that there were"
 Katherine Montgomery, stenographer who was in the employ of the policy holders committee, said that she person. ally filled in the names of witnesses when they were missing from the ballots. This was done, she said, on instructions from MT. Scrugham. She always used fieu- tious name, she said

South Alabama Praises EnsIey.

J. Furness Lee has returned from Sel- ma, where he was called last week by the illness of his brother-in-law, MT. Paul Johnson. It is probable that MT. and Mrs. Johnson will remove to Ensley some time in the near future
 "The people of South Alabama have their mental vision focused on the Bir- mingham district, and especially on Ems ley" said Mir Lee today. "The Ensley page in The Age-Herald is given par ticular attention by parties seeking at tractive investments and looking for suit able locations for homes and business en- terprises No other part of the district is attracting the attention that Ensley is receiving in that section of the state. My conclusions are drawn from con- versations with men who did not know that I hailed from Ensley and who nat uraly had no desire to puff the town to please me. All seemed to agree that Ensley Is the best place for invest ment."

A Maple Sugar Treat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Tn this spring season." said an ex- Canadian, 'I often think of the maple sugar making of my boyhood. and of the sugar treats we youngsters used to have.
 The tapping and boiling and purifying all went on in the open air, in. the superb sunshine of early spring, and though the days were mild. the snow still lay on the ground. <iNqi0
 'The great treat to us youngsters was to take from the tanks scoopfulst of the boiling hot sugar, and spread them, like buckwheat cakes, upon the snow
 Tn a few minutes they would be ready -cold, crisp, delicious-sweet rich waters of an indescribably delightful flavor.
 All over the white snow these yellow cakes of sugar would be spread. Can't you see the picture-the green forest the snowy landscape the great black kettles over the wood fires. the sunshine. and us youngsters trotting here anI there among our golden cakes of su- gar"

TEACHERS ARE ELECTED
Committee of Ministers and Laymen Attend Meeting of Talladega City Council and Ask for
 Legislation.

Talladega, May 14.-(Special)-Th pro- ceedings of the City Council yesterday evening were full of interest. Quite large number of citizens were in attend ance. Some time since the Ministers union called meeting of the laymen of the church and there were speeches and resolutions looking to the better reg ulation of the saloon, the pool room and disorderly houses. The meeting pledged itself to go before the city council in body and ask ordinances pursuant to the sentiment of the meeting.
 In addition to this the laymen circulat- ed a petition which was signed by 250 citizens asking that the saloons and pool rooms be required to close at ' o'clock in the evening. This last point some of the liquor men themselves favored. When it came to a vote on the saloon closing the council unanimously voted to close the saloons at pm.
 The real fight all the time was to the closing of pool rooms. The laymen delegation made its argument and on a test vote it was seen that a majority of the cuncl was not in favor of closing the pool rooms at the same time as the saloon. Messrs. Simms, Dickinson, Adams and White voted to close the pool rooms at the same time as the saloons. Mayor Oliver, Aldermen Boynton, Castleberry, McCargo and Freemen were opposed to 1t.
 Dr. Simms offered a sort of compromise proposition to the effect that pool rooms should have no other business attached, nothing in the room but pool tables and should be without blinds or screens, etc. This proposed change was laid on the table until the next meeting. Alderman Freeman voting with the majority.
 The result Is looked upon as a sort of ''dog fall," neither side being able to claim an absolute victory. although the Iaynen admit they made mistake in making their argument and hurrying away; they now think that it would have present when the vote was being taken.
 An ordinance was introduced to put up gates on all the railroad crossings on East street to be used during the day time-a flagman to be in attendance day and night. This proposed legislation Is brought about by the horrible accident to the little daughter of G. A. Matteson.
 A vagrant law applicable to the city, being substantially copy of the state law on the subject was adopted.
 The corps of city school teachers were elected. Three young ladies of the pres ent body of teachers did not offer, and the following teachers were chosen: For

FIRE DESTROYS
 SEVERAL HOUSES
East Side of Square at Ashland Is Re duced to Ashes Monday
 Night.

Ashland. May 4.-(Special )-Last night just at 12 o'clock the alarm of fire startled our little city for the second time this year, and before it could be got under control the entire east side oI the square was swept clear of build ings.
 The fire started in the building on the southeast corner of the square and oc- cuped as a grocery store by Dan Kirk. His entire stock was destroyed but was very well covered by insur- ance. The building, as was the next, was owned by Judge E. A. Phillips, upon ance.
 R. w. Riddle & Son saved about $10O worth of furniture from their stock of furniture and general merchandise. Their loss was total, as there was no insur- ance, and would probably be s2O0O
 The largest stock of merchandise on this side was that of Glass & Carpen- ter, but fortunately their loss will be light as they carried 5000 insurance and a large part of their goods were carried from the building before it took fire. These goods were badly damaged but the insurance will make the loss light.
 Two barber shops, one shoe shop, the Dixie restaurant, vacant building, be- longing to J. A. White, with no insur- ance on any of the last named buildings, was the other loss.
 Considerable damage was done to the library of the law firm of Whatley & Cornelius by moving their books.
 In February another fire consumed four of the wooden buildings on the south side of the square so there are left only five wooden store rooms on the square.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, un- less it was from ground pea parcher in the store of Dan Kirk.
