 PRISONER IN JAIL
Judge Foster Orders Jones to
 Be Held
FINE LEGAL QUESTION
City Council of Tuscaloosa Will Pave Large Section of Sidewalks In the City-Water Commis-
 sion Is Elected.

Tuscaloosa, May S.-(special)-An un- usual legal question was brought up here yesterday, as a result of a subpoena re- ceived by Sheriff Latham for Charlie Jones, in jail here under indictment for the murder of J. w. Reddick. It seems that J. w. Redd, the father of Bud Redd, who was killed in the attempt to capture him when a fugitive from justice a few weeks ago after killing J. W. Reddick, Is in jail in Bibb county, charged with burglary His preliminary hearing is to Charlie Jones was subpoenaed as a wit ness in behalf of the state An order from the judge of probate of Bibb county also accompanied the subpoena, commanding Sheriff Latham to have the said Jones in Centrevllle on that date. When the facts were made known, District Solicitor w. B. Oliver and County Solicitor c. B. Yer ner joined in an application to Judge Henry B. Foster of the Tuscaloosa county court for an order commanding Sheriff Latham to hold Charlie Jones in the Tus- caloosa county jail.
 Judge Foster, finding no law authorizing the procedure attempted by the Bibb county judge, granted the application and made the order requiring that Jones be held The legal question is rather an interesting one, but it is the opinion ot counsel here that there can be found no authority whatever to substantiate the position apparently taken by the probate judge of Bibb.
 Anyhow, Jones will remain in the Tus- caloosa county jail until his trial for the murder of Reddick is had on the 17th of this month.

Tells Counclmen License Fees Would

Treasury

After hearing Mayor Harper's rec
ommendation on the subject the city
council yesterday referred to the com
mittee the question of passing an or
dinance licensing billboards.
The measure was not discussed on
the floor, but will be in the secret ses-
sion of the committee. The recon-
mendations from the city executive are
as follows:

dinance drawn by the city attorney

boards
"Blllboards are nuisance which
should be done away with entirely. 1t
sees impracticablc, however, at this
time to recommend an ordinance abol-
ishing them A system of license fees
| believe will reduce the number and
bring revenue to the city.
at has been estimated we have
twenty-five miles of bilboards, and l
have been asi:ed by civic organizations
to levy n fee OF Uoe cent per square
foot. This would brinE the city rev.
enue of $52,S0O. / think this fee ex-
pensive, and therefore suggest re-
duction to one-quarter of cent, which
will bring the city upwards of $4,000.
"At present the only tax, l am in
formed is $65 a year.
"Billboards as they are at present
are unsighty. A reduction in the
number will beautify the city, and
those allowed to remain, if properly
inspected, will be less nuisance than
at present.
with this message | transmit one
signed by the presidents of the Civic
association, Out Door Art association
and chairman of the billboard COM
mittee of the Civic association.
II consider it greatly to the welfare
of the city that the ordinance be
adopted at once"

COUNCIL FIXES
DAY FOR ELECTION
City Attorney Hewitt viii Go to Sac
ramento at Once to Get the
State Law Re-
vised

The city council yesterday officially
called the election to annex San Pedro
on March A.
City Attorney Leslie Hewitt reported
the ordinance drawn up for the pur-
pose, saying:
Il am presenting an ordinance call
ing the election. having carefully con-
sidered the case after the committee
of the whole had gone over it.
I'VE have come to the cocclusion
that the necessities of the case can
best be met by calling the election now,
and such points .as may be involved
growing out of the old act under which
the election is called can be considered
afterward.
'Varied objections have presented
theselves by reason of the old law, but
I see no reason why this body cannot
pass the ordinance now"
The council did as suggested and
later voted Mr.. Hewitt $100 expenses
to go to Sacramento to ask the legis-
lature to amend or correct the old law
so that no inconsistencies will appear.
The general law providing for the an
nexation of cities is twenty-three years
old, and it's provisions have never been
passed on by superior court.
Mr.. Hewitt anticipates no trouble at
the state capital in getting the relief
measures passed, as the majority
opinion in Southern California favors
annexation.

SEEKS TO QUASH
ALL INDICTMENTS
Attorney for Santa Fe Railway Files
Motion to Dismiss Complaint
in Famous Rebate
Gases

A sensation was sprung yesterday IN
the United States court when Attorney
Camp, representing the Santa Fe COM
pany, filed a motion to quash the va
rious indictments against the corpora
ton on the ground chiefly that the al
legged giving of rebates had occurred
during a period when the United States
was without an interstate commerce
law of any kind.
Following was the statement concern
ing the motion set forth by the at
torney and it was taken under con-
sideration to await the arrival of At
torney oscar LaWler:
"All the acts charged in these in
dictments are alleged to have been
committed prior to August rs, 1905 on
June 30, 1906, congress passed the bill
known as the Hepburn act TO take ef'
feet Immediately. On June 80, 1906,
congress adopted a joint resolution de-
claring that the Hepburn act not be
in effect till sixty days after June 20,
1906; that the Hepburn law repealed
all prior laws regulating interstate
commerce which i'm anywlse affects the
transactions in these indictments, set
forth and complained of and that by
reason of said repeal and suspension
OF the said Hepburn act there was not
at the time of either transaction, any
law of the United States in force un-
der which either of said transactions
constituted a public wrong or could OF
can be prosecuted under said indict-
mentS or at al"

HEALTH BOARD IS
SHORT Of HELP
MAYOR ASKS COUNCIL TO GIVE
RELIEF
Assistant Health Officer, Three In
spectors and Two School Nurses
Are Needed at once--MiIk
to Be Watched

Mayor Harper yesterday asked the
city council in Il special message TO al
low the request of the board OF health
for additional help. At least six addl-
tional employees are needed, the recent
annexation of the shoeString strip add
ing to the needs.
The council heard the message and
referred it to the finance committee.
The mayors recommendations were as
follows:
"The board of health petitions for
two additional sanitary inspectors, two
additional school nurses, one additional
milk inspector and one additional as
sistant health officer to be designated
as the second assistant health officer
(on salary.
"I have caused a careful investiga-
tion to be made and recommend that
an ordinance be passed at once. One
has been drawn by the city attorney
and will be transmitted 20 you.

Experience has taught health officers
that not only Is it necessary to inspect
the milk, but the sources as well. Re-
Gently one inspector journeyed four
hundred miles to make such an inspec-
ton.
lone of the additional sanitary in
spectors is needed in the tenement dis
trict. The other Is needed to inspect
restaurants and to assist in inspection
of school buildings,
proper attention of the school chill
dren would require the services of ten
additional nurses because of the great
increase in the number of scholars, but
mindful of the condition of the oity's
finances the board of health asks for
only two, which II feels are absolutely
necessary and the city can afford at

Asthma and Heart Trouble
Relieved at Seventy-five

Capt. Jasper H. Warren of
Marlborough Falls, N. H, who
has just celebrated his 18th birth
day, says that he owes his health
and activity to Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, the great family medi-
cine.
Mr.. Warren was captain of
Co. I, 25th Reg. U. S. Colored

deal with bronchial asthma and
weak heart. Nothing seemed to
do him any good until he tried

Capt. Warren wrote on July 30:

ANCIENT KISS
CAUSES TROUBLE
Petition for Divorce Denied Man Who
Claims He Saw Stranger Em=
brace His Wife Eight
Years Ago

Because. as he alleged, he had seen
his wife embraced by another man
about seven or eight years ago, William
R. Talbert of Bethany, o., yesterday
petitioned Judge Monroe in department.
of the superior court for divorce on
the ground of cruelty. The petition was
denied.
According to the testimony in the
case the couple were married at Beth
any, o., in 1883, and lived together until
October, 1904.
Simple cruelty, hinging on the one al
legation, was all that the petition for
divorce against the woman claimed,
and Judge Monroe became inquisitiVe.
He asked Talbert what the trouble haa
been, and Talbert stated that on one
occasion he had returned to his home
and had walked into his wife's room
just in time to see man imprint kiss
on her cheek.
Although he had three or four little
children who ought to be cared for, Tai
bert thought that he ought to have
freedom because of the scene he had
witnessed.
Tells of Touching Event
Judge Monroe asked when that touch
ing event had taken place, and the
plaintiff stated that it had occurred
about seven or eight years ago and that
he had lived with his wife for seven
years after the occurrence.
In telling how he happened to come to
California he said that one day he de-
cided he could no longer live with the
woman and had told her he was going
to the theater. Instead he came 60
California, leaving her to care for the
three children.
Judge Monroe by that time became in
dignant. He asked the man if he
thought 1t an honorable thing to do to
go away and leave his wife and chill
dren, or, ii he had bad opinion of his
wife, to go away and leave his little
children under her charge.
The plaintiff said he didn't think one
way or the other.
why weren't you man enough to
stay right there and fight out your
trouble?" querled the judge. 1T is
shame that people Of the east who can
not get along back there come out here
years afterward and bring suits for
divorce in California courts on evidence
to which it is a waste of time to listen.
l will deny this divorce"

G2,G0O0D0 for the whole country.
We have, as stated, 5000 golfers,
and, as we have suggested, the annual
expenditure Of each Of them on the
averlgc-such annual expenditure be-
ing almost the sole income of the
game-cannot be less than ELS. This

added the special commencing expendi-
ture Of 10000 new players at f10 each.
which for some time may be regarded
as a permanent source of income.
These items added together give us a
sum total of G4,700,000 spent on golf in
the year.
The playing of this game has given
rise to a considerable industry, and
many thousands of people earn a good
living through its agency. The major
ity of clubs employ a steward, walters
and other servants, a professional and
a varying number of groundmen. An
average of 10 would be q very reason

gives US 10000 for the 1000 clubs. 1t is
estimated that there are $4,000 caddies,
giving us a total of 100000 employees
attached directly to the various clubs.
Then there are at least 5000 people en-
gagged i'll the ball-malking trade, az
statesmen and in various other capaci
ties. just see how many are needed
by the great world of golf. To begin
with, there are those 100000 golfers. 1t
has been reckoned that at the height
of the summer golfing season, when
the players are busy everywhere, not
less than 900 balls are used up every
week This, indeed. seems to be most
remarkable estimate. 1t was semi
officially stated in June that one firm

the biggest, was working night and day
