WOMEN TO RETURN
OFFICERS GO AFTER WITNESSES IN
 CAFFEY CASE.
They Decide They Do Not Wish to Re- main Tn Texas Jail Till the Ap- peIlatc Court Meets In
 October.

Preferring to return to Montgomery and face the charges against them rather than languish in a Texas jail until October Q, Mrs M. Brown and Mrs. M Johnson have notified the au- thorities here that they would waive requisition and return to Montgomery. In accordance with this, Deputies Nor man and wilson left yesterday for Dallas, Texas. for the prisoners.
 This adds another chapter to what promises to be an unusually sensation al case in which murder and malprac- tice are charged to a negro physician, Frank Caffey. who is now in the Mont comedy jail.
 The women are the principal witness es in the murder case against Caffey. Their testimony before the grand jury was of such a nature that they were charged with perjury.
 They were arrested in Dallas, but were released on a habeas corpus be- fore Deputy Wilson. of Montgomery county, arrived with requisition pa- pers. The women were re-arrested and remanded 10 the officer. They then applied for bail, which was at first refused but was finally granted. Finally, however. the women were com mitted without ball.
 The appeal was pending when the women made up their minds to return to Montgomery and face the charges against them and against Caffey.

William K. Terry of Birmingham an enthusiastic alumnus of Auburn, and member of the Board of Trustees passed through Montgomery last night accompanied by 21O pounds of foot ball material for the Auburn squad.
 The aforesaid material was some thing like six feet, two and broad In proportion. It was an Alabama youth who was delighted with the prospects of college and with the chance to play football. If size and strength count for anything, Auburn is going to get a mighty good man.
 MT. Terry took him over last night and presented him to Auditor Bran don. who Is an alumnus of the Oni- yersity and who lives at Tuscaloosa and who is naturally rooter for the University In the great annual matches between the two big State schools.
 Tn recent years several unknown giants have turned up at Tuscaloosa when the foot ball team was getting in condition. And when the Auburn team came along for the yearly strug- gle. the Orange and Blue wearers were astonished at the size of the men

MT. Harahan, made a report as to the method of account inp and 1t was ordered printed TOT the use of the directors.

E. H. Hartman at 12 Broadway, the ofnce or the Union Pacific Railroad Company and asking for the appointment Of a committee. of members of the Illinois Central railroad board who had not within the last twelve months mad any interest in the Union Pacific to invest tigate and report whether MT. liar ahan and MT. HackstaR should be dls- missed from office. MT. Peabody anu MT. Hartman, who are directors or both the Illinois Central and the Union Pacific, moved that MT. Fish's pretmble and resolution be referred to Messrs' Vanderbilt, Luttgen and Auchincloss' which motion prevailed.
 month later no report from that comimttee having been presented to the Illinois central Board, MT. Fish on August 2S offered a preamble. While MT. Fish was reading this resolution director Peabody moved to adjourn and MT. Harahan put the motion and de- clared the meeting adjourned. This is what led to the clash between Mr. Fish and Mir Harahan.
 MT. Fish and another director then caused a special meeting to be called to discuss the preamble and resolution which he had offered on August 2s. Such meeting was held September 4. when on MT. Peabody's motion MT. Fish's resolutions were amended so as to provide that the president. MT Harahan himseuf and not the operat- ing. traffic and accounting offices, should make the report. This MT. t1sh obiected to on the grounds that 1t cut the board off from obtaining lnde- pendent reports addressed 10 1t over the signatures of the officers In im- mediate charge of the business put was overrVled.

Auburn is "Fixing Things" for
 Football Lineup Of UniUersity

who made up the Crimson and White line.
 MT. Terry served notice on his Tus- caloosa friends that the University would not have all the giants this year, He presented the young giant to Gen eral Brandon and told him what sort of things the gigantic young Ala- bamian would do to the University line when the whistle blew in Birm- ingham.
 The young fellow looked so big that one of the crowd said General Bran don looked pale when he saw the broad shoulders. the long and sinewy limbs and the fists a little smaller than hams MT. Terry expatiated on the good points of the young man and assured General Brandon that there wasn't the slightest doubt in the world when the time came and when the coach had given him little instruc- tion but that the new man would tear up Alabama line worse than Van derbilt ever tore 1t up.
 And he certainly looked like foot ball player. Mir. Terry advised Gen eraI Brandon to wire to Tuscaloosa right away and tell Pollard to have the line strengthened at all cost. for something was coming.

There are some meannesses which are
too mean even for man-woman, lovely
woman, alone can commit them
We quote this sentence from "A Shabby
Genteel Story" not as any reflection on
our fair readers, but merely as a fitting
introduction to an example of meanness
on the part of lady which We feel sure is
quite exceptional among her sex. This
lady was in a fairly good position and
lived In one of the suburbs Of large town
One morning she went to her butcher with
a basket filed with wooden skewers. She
told him she had saved them-that they
had been weighed to her as meat, and that
she had brought them to receive their
weight back again in meat!
Is there a man bold enough to carry econ
omy so far?
Perhaps the meannesses of mean people
are more often actuated by feelings of
avarice rather than those of economy. 1t
would be difficult, for instance. to find
worse case than the following. An old man
