PRIEST LOSES LIFE:
CATHOLIC CHURCH AND INsTITU-
 TI0Ns DESTROYED BY FIRE.
When the Ruins Were Searched, the Charred Body of Father Buck Was F0und-Students'
 Narrow Escape.

Covington. La. Nov. 30.-One life is known to have been lost. fireman is believed to have been killed. and over $100.000 worth of property was de- stroyed in a fire near here today when St. Joseph's Academy. St. Joseph's Con- vent, St. Joseph's Monastery and St. Joseph's Catholic Church were burned
 All of these institutions occupied lots together near Covington. When the ruins were searched this afternoon, the oh arred body of Rev. Joseph Buck, who was attached to the Academy, was found. He had been cut off from es- cape by the flames in the Academy building and burned to death. It was also discovered after the fire that one of the Covington firemen who had re- sponded to the alarm. was missing and search is now being made in the ruins.
 The fireman who was at first thought to have lost his life was later located. The. fire. which started in the dormi- tory of St. Josephs Academy. was caused by a radiator becoming too hot.
 There were no students in the Acad- emy when the alarm was sounded. and many of them had narrow escapes. but Rev. Buck is believed to have been the only one to lose his life.
 The buildings were all practically new. Father Bucks library, contain ing over 5000 valuable works, and that of the students, with 1000 volumes. were destroyed.

MUST TRY RATES
JUDGE SAYS PRoBLEM
 WILL SOLVE ITSELF.
JudgeNewman Neither Denies or Csra n ts Petition of Central of Geor-
 gfa Against New Pas-
 senger Rate.

Atlanta. Ga. Nov. 30.---Judge Newman of the United States District Court to- night filed his decree in the petition of the Central of Georgia Railroad against the Georgia Railroad Commission, s. c. McLendon. H. W. Hill. ct al, for an injunction against the order of the Railroad Commission putting into effect an order relative to rates.
 The petition Is neither denied nor granted. Judge Newman declared 1t advisable to allow, the conditions now obtaining to continue for six months time from September ?, during which the problem at issue may solve itself to the satisfaction of both parties. He also decided that Governor Smith could not be made party defendant.
 On June '. last, the Georgia Railroad Commission promulgated circular pro- viding that local passenger rates, then 8 cents a mile, should be reduced on the Central to 2 1-2 cents a mile. the order to become effective on Septembr ?, 1907, The same circular effected other lines than the Central in the State.

In addition to this the Governors contingent fund was doubled by the Legislature. so there will be no financial reason why the State should not have the best of legal talent
 Western's Action Expected,
 The action of the Western yesterday in seeking the protection of the Federal Court was not unexpected. The wes- tern was one of the roads that declined to enter into the Governors agreement like the Southern. 1t was generally understood that bill was in prepara- tion and that it would be filed at an early date. It was presented to Judga Jones yesterday afternoon by Major R. E. Steiner, counsel for the road. The restraining order was immediately is- sued as in the case of the other roads.
 The bill of the Western. like that of the Louisville and Nashville. is sup plemental. It is contended in the bill. that the railroad legislation enacted at the extra session is but part and parcel of railroad code, the adoption of which was begun at the January ses- sion. Like the bill of the Louisville and Nashville, the bill of the Western alleges that the new acts are oppres- sive and confiscatory, in that they are fixed so low that they take the proper ty of the road without due process of law.
 The restraining order is directed par ticularly at the sheriffs. the clerks and the solicitors of the counties of Cham bers. Lee. Macon. Montgomery. Lowndes and Dallas. these being the coun-

NEGRO BRUTE
 IS LYNCHED Body is Ridd1ed With
 Bullets. ASSAULTED FARMERS WIFE Held Up Woman and Girl With
 Shotgun. With Rope Around His Neck Body wa. Dragged Through Streets Of
 Town--sheriH Was

Opp. Nov. Especial. l-Neal San- defs, young negro, was shot to death near here this afternoon by an anrgy mob Of citizens of Covington county. after he had been identified by Mrs. Ellis. wife of we'll known farmer. whom he had held ,S in the woods near her home and criminally assaulted at noon today.
 Mrs. Ellis and Miss Sorrell, q pretty lf-year-old girl. had been to Opp dur ing the morning doing some shopping. and were walking home when Sanders, who was hiding behind some bushes. suddeny stepped out in the road be- Tore them and raising his shot gun to ms shoulder, commanded them to halt. The negro then laid his gun down and grabbed Mrs. Ellis, the girl making her escape up the road. Mrs. Ellis was powerless in the grip of the brute and he succeeded in accomplishing his fiend- fish purpose. He then made his escape leaving the woman in the road in a pitiful condition.
 Miss Sorrell gave the alarm as soon as she reached her home ana a posse was immediately organized. After securing the woods for three or four hours the brute was captured on the place of MT. Miller, where he was employed as q farm hand Sanders at first denied his guilt. He was imrne- diately taken to the home of Mrs Ellis where he was positively identified by the woman as her assailant. Seeing that it was all up with him, he con fessed the crime and agreed to take the mob to the very spot where the deed was committed, This he was aI- lowed to do, and after viewing the scene of the crime and hearing the full ,.ff he was told by the leader of the mob that 1t was going to give him a chance for his life and told him to run.
 Sanders. seeing the angry expressions on the faces of the men and the many guns that were displayed needed no second invitation and he made dash for liberty. He had succeeded in gain- ing only a few yards when the ftniGade of bullets begun to rain upon him. He fell almost at the first shot but bee fore the smoke had cleared away, over three hundred shots had been fired fnto his body The shooting was heard fn Opp and sounded like battle was be- ing waged near the town.
 Not being fully satisfied that tue negro was dead. rope was tied around his neck and the other end of the rope tied to the back of a buggy. Tho body was dragged to Opp and through the streets of the negro settlement of the town. After this 1t was turned over to relatives,
 The sheriff of the county was noti- fled over the long distance telephone of the assault and of the forming of mob. He secured an automobile at the county site, and started to Opp, accompanied by several citizens of Andalusia whom he had sworn in as deputies They arrived on the scene too late. however, as the negro had already met his fate.
 Mrs. Ellis is resting comfortably to- night and the town is quiet again after a very strenuous day.

 Hidiculed AIienist.
 Didn't he appear like gentleman who was making speech and was mighty well pleased with himself and the sound of his voice?" asked Mir. Turner.
 Mir. Turner held the close attention of the jury throughout his summing up of the case. The eyes of many of the jurors wandered at times from the elo- quent speaker to Mrs. Bradley, who sat with closed eyes and bowed head only few feet behind the advocate of the government.
 The court room throughout the speech of Mir. Turner was hushed in silence. He concluded his argument shortly af- ter P o'clock and was at once followed by MT. Robert Wells, of counsel for the defense. It was left with the jury to decide whether they would remain in session an hour longer or take the usual noon recess. After a brief con- sultation. the jury decided to hear the aNorney. MT. Wells spoke with great force and at once took up the plea of insanity, saying that if Mrs. Bradley had been sane, and wished to kill Ar thur Brown, she had thousands of op- portunities to accomplish that purpose and cover her crime.
 When she shot Arthur Brown. she shot the thing she loved" declared the attorney in tragic tones, "and she still loves him today"
 The impressiveness of the argument of the attorney was evidently very forcibly felt by the defendant who was so greatly overcome that Judge Powers, of her counsel. moved his chair to her side to save her from falling forward. Mir. Wells concluded his address with quotations from Hawtaorne's Scarlet Letter" and declared that Arthur Brown himself was as much responsible for that fatal shot as was Annie Bradley because it was he who had caused to be planted within her the fatal disease that had resulted in the shot.
 Whatsoever a man soweth. that also shall he reap" quoted the attorney as he took his seat The court took a re- cess until Monday.

An alarm was turned in and four fire tugs responded. The intense heat, however. drove the tugs from the steps and, unable to do anything to save the elevator they concentrated all their efforts in an attempt to save the adjoining property.
 Flying sparks soon ignited the Grand Republic Mill, the dock of the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company and the plant of the Duluth Superior stor- age Company which contained ths fin- ishing plant of the Webster Chair.

NO BILLS NOT NAMED IN CALL Senate Committee Sets I
 Precedent. IT TURNS DOWN ALL OTHERS Majority Says Work of Legislature
 Should Be Confined. Revision of Laws, Senator's Believe, Should Take Up Only Measures z
 Suggested by the
 Governor.
IT TURNS DOWN ALL OTHERS

The Senate Committee on Revision or LAWS yesterday afternoon estab- lished a new legislative precedent when 1t decided to turn down all bills, good or bad, which are on subjects not named in the call.
 Senator O. O. Bayles of Monroe County, is chairman of this committee. It met yesterday afternoon to consider several bills which had been referred on the first and second days of the extra session.
 Before getting down to business. Chairman Bayles asked for an express sion from the members on the question of considering bills which were not named in the call. '
 It was seen that a majority of the committee was of the opinion of the chairman that the work, not only of the committed, but of the Legislature. sho be confined to the consideration of bills on subjects named in the Gov ernor's call.
 In this action the committee reflected the general sentiment of members of the Legislature to find their work and get home at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 The committee, however, differed from the course adopted sby the two houses of allowing the introduction and consideration of any bill any member wanted to introduce. If all the coms mfttees should follow the lead of the Senate Committee on Revision of Laws. the action of the two houses would be nullified and the Legislature could ad- journ at much earlier date.
 Several bills were before the com mittee, but final action on them went over until the next meeting.
 The most important measure before the committee was the bill of Senator Reese, providing a new method Of reg istering personal property in Alabama. The present law provides that It must he done with pen and ink. Senator Reese's bill brings in modern methods and provides that it, can be done not only by pen and ink, but by type writer or writing machine. This piip went over with the oth CTS.
