Threatened War ODer GoUernor's
 Auto Alayed by Paying License.

The State of Alabama and the City of Montgomery came very near having some trouble a couple of days ago But all is serene now and the National Guard of Alabama, under Brigadier General Bibb Graves. will not be cell ed upon to meet in battle array" the serried forces" of the Montgomery Po- lice Department under Chief w. H. Taylor.
 As the diplomats say. "the incident is closed"
 Governor Corners automobile is now qualified to scoot about the City of Montgomery without any fear. no mat ter how many blue coats may be stand ing on the corner. The City of Mont gomery recognizes Governor Conner as "a prudent and careful" person when it comes to running an automobile. The city officially takes no position as to his being a prudent and carefuT person in the administration of the afrairs of State. There is a division of sentiment on this point among the people of Montgomery.
 The trouble grew out of Governor Corners big, olive green. touring car. which he brought down from Birming-

 ham to take advantage of the paved streets and matchless roads of Mont gomery. The Governor neglected to take out an automobile license.
 The Governor of Alabama. as many people of the State no doubt know, is very busy man, and has been since he came to Montgomery Running g State and managing Legislature at one and the same time does not give a Governor many spare moments. He overlooked the detail of Montgomery automobile license. The city sent him 8 notice about the registration and licensing of automobiles, but he re- ceived the notice as he was on the eve of going to Birmingham.
 A few days ago he received more insistent notice from License Inspector J. c. Cowan. who. by the way, chances to be supporter and friend of the Governor.
 Governor Conner, on receiving the second notice. hastened to comply with every requirement of the city law. The Governors automobile has now been registered and licensed. and peace reigns supreme.

  no connection with the case. MT Gleason, as he understands it. is in charge.
 MT. Gleason saidi
 'Dr. Hamilton was called by MT. Delmas this morning as witness. But the statement of Dr. Hamilton as to the competency of Thaw at the present time. was contrary to his oral state ments to me. and to his written mem oranda as have understood them. The application for a commission is addressed to the discretion of the court. The application will be oppos- ed on the ground thRk the trial being practically completed. 1t is more or the defendant should be submitted to the jury"
 MT. Gleason explained that MT Del mas action in calling Dr. Hamilton was much opposed by the other law yers of Thaw. and that Mir. Delmas was able to do so only by making use of his authority as trial lawyer" to call any witness he chose MT. Gleason added that he deemed 1t wise to ask Dr. Hamilton to state his opinion as to Thaws present mental condition. inasmuch as Dr. Hamilton would get in his testimony sooner or later, and 1t was best to have 1t over quickly. As a matter of fact" he continued, we have been expecting MT. Jerome to call for a commission ever since the trial started, and although he was sur prised to hear pr. Hamilton testliy to Thaws present insanity, we were not surprised that the District Attorney should make this move. So far as any opposition to the motion Is cop- cerned, we shall make but little.

REGISTERS DENIAL.
NIcaraEuan Minister Says Reports

NIcaraEuan Minister Says Reports of
 Loofing mre False. .-
 Washington, March 20.-Great sur prise was created in Washington di- plomatio circles by the announcement in press dispatches that Nicaraguan troops had been promised the right to loot the first Honduran- -Salvadorean city they may capture.
 Such announcement to soldiers by government authorities Is in direct violation of the general trend of the rules of war for the last century.
 The navy department received a dispatch today announcing that the gunboat Marietta arrived yesterday from Puerto Cortez, Honduras. This is one of the points on the north coast of Honduras, which is threatened by Nicaraguan and Honduran revolu- tionists.
 Mr. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister, called on Secretary Root today and entered an emphatic denial of reports from Central America to the effect that President Zelaya of Nicaragua has given his soldiers the privilege of footing the first Salvadorean or Honduran town they capture.
 MT. Corea made this denial on the authority of a despatch he received from MT. Gamez. the Nicaraguan min ister for foreign affairs. The dis patch stated that the reports of Pres ident Zelayas's proffer of footing are Notifications which were made up in Salvatore and originally published in a semi-official daily paper in that country
 As the proof of the falsity of the report, MT. Gamez says that Nicara- qua has been in control of San Mar cos Corpus, Yuscaran, Danlia and Marietta and there was no complaint of footing in those towns previous to the report which the minister de- nounces as false.
 MT. Corea also had a dispatch stat ing that the Nicaraguans are besieg- ing Choluteca and that Ceiba will soon be attacked.

 San Francisco, March 2O.-JudRe Hunt yesterday gave instructions to a jury in his court which have important bearing upon the many suits now being brought against various insurance com panies which failed to pay the amount of their risk on the ground that the policies provided that the policy would be void if the building fell wholly or in part, as result of an earthquake.
 Judge Hunt, in instructing the jury. held that the clause applied only when the falling of the building affected rendered the building unfit for occupa- tion, or destroyed its usefulness.
