ITALIAN NEWSPAPER
 AFTER ..FEE BRIGADE
Sharply Crfttcixes System of Arresting Ignorant Foreigners and Giving
 Them no Chance.

Birmingham. July 5.-(Special)- 'LAvangaurdia," the Italian paper published in Birmingham, issued its third number this week and the prin- cipal editorial therein is printed in black type, in English headed, "Ital- fans Must Be Treated Right. in which there is a strong arraignment of the arresting of foreigners and carrying them before justices who think more of fees than anything else.
 Among other things. the editorial says:
 Tt is a fact that can not be gain- said that Italians and other foriegn- interruptions petty officials such as po- lice officers. constables. justices of the peace and mayors of the little towns hereabouts. There have come to oui notice many instances of abuses prac- ticed against Italians by some of the petty officials named, members of the infamous fee brtgade,' men who pros titute their office and violate their oaths of office to gain a few dollars This must stop. We have retained le' gal counsel to look after such matters and any abuse of this character prac' ticed on our fellow countrymen wil be prosecuted to the limits of the law.
 We propose to put stop to this as far as lies in our power. Any Ital' ian who is mistreated in this manner and unable to secure legal counsel will be invited to apply to The Avan' guardia, where he will be furnished free of charge, with legal assistance

MAY BE A MURDER
NEGRO SHOT CONSTABLE AT EL- MORE's MILL.
Waited For Him On Bridge Az He Came To Serve Q Warrant For
 Slight Onense

Sheriff Belser was notified by tele- phone last night that a negro, named William Brewer, had shot, and prob ably fatally injured Constable Samuel Ivey. at Elmore's Mills. about eigh- teen miles south of Montgomery.
 It appears from the details received here that the constable had gone to Elmore's Mills with a warrant of arr rest for the negro for breach of con tract. To reach the mans place, ne had to cross small bridge over a creek. When he reached this bridge the negro was waiting for him on the other side and. before a word had been spoken, he raised his shot gun and fired twice in the constable's face.
 Ivey fell from his horse and the ns- gro fled. Some people who had heard the shot, picked the constable up and took him to a nearby house where a physician attended him.
 The negro is described as being five feet five or six inches high, of the ginger cake variety of color, weighs about 135 pounds, has a large scar on his body from a recent burn. and looks down as he walks

with truth and justice, every one would agree with the proposition advanced by the United States. Representing nations that is to say human collectivi- ties, with traditions, interests, aspira- tions and prejudices, 1t Is our duty to approach the ideal as nearly as pos sible. We should keep it. however, subordinate to the requirements of the nation we represent and for this req son. as to the delegate of Colombia l refuse to subscribe to the proposition Of the United states"
 M. Triana then discussed the riches Of the Colombian republic, adding:
 Tt is natural that coveteous eyes should be turned toward Us filled with the desire for political colonization. This tendency signifies t"e suppression of our national existence. We admit a readiness and desire to encourage pa cific combination that would bring to our shores welcome waves of humanity to help develop our country and our laws and institutions, but any other kind of colonization will be prevented.
 In conclusion M. Triana made ironl- cal references to President Roosevelt. . He said:
 .President Roosevelt may consider himself a happy mortal if when he descends from the Presidential chair of the Cnlteu oldteS WhlCh toiANilS PA tige, power and potentiality, may be compared to the thrones of kings ana emperors or at a later period at the hour of the setting sun of life filled with energetic activity, he may with uplifted head and laying his hand upon his heart, declare before the world that on every and all occasions and at all times he has respected the rights of the weak. of justice and of humanity, even to the detriment of the political interests and ambitions of his own country. When man possesses that degree of moral authority he is cer- tainly entitled to summon before him the nations and the peoples of the world in order to ask them to act 1is- interestedly in the cause of humanity
