Aged Woman Insane.-One of the
hardest commitments ever ordered by

After considerable argument each
amendment was made to conform with
text.
NOW, DOCTOR" said Mr.. Delmas, CON
sidering the question as amended, what
is your opinion as TO whether the man
who committed the act complained of
knew 1t was right or wrong.
My opinion" replied Dr.. Wagner, with
much deliberation, 'is that he did not

You base your opinion on the fact

the act was wrong"
Il believe his reason was so defective
he did not believe the act was wrong, "
came the reply.
THAT is ALL" said Mr.. Delmas.
Mr.. Jerome said he would request the
witness to step aside for cross-examina-
ton later in the trial. Mr.. Delmas then
| announced that he would call second
alienist tomorrow, DIR. Evans, to the
stand To save the time of the court,
he secured consent to submit Thaw' $
letters to DR.. Evans this evening so he
could be in a position tomorrow to tes-

Delmas also stated that the defense
would not take up much more time. The
statement that several weeks would be
required to put in all the evidence for
the defense, he asserted, was not true.
At this point adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.

Doomed to Defeat Johnny
Ray Prepares TO Back Onf

If Johnny Ray thinks lie can come to
Birmingham, openly defy the baseball en-
thusiasts of this city, and escape with an
uniform skin, then he is mistaken That
gentleman, whose theatrical company is
at the Bijou theater boldly issues a chal-
lenge in behalf of his aggregation to
meet any baseball team of this city this
week
Just such a challenge is what The Age
Herald's as yet indicated team has long
sighed for. Having defeated every other
aggregation in Birmingham. without a
single exception. the strong arms of The
Age-Herald team have anxlously awaited
some new material to wreak vengeance
on Johnny Rays team will get the pun
ishment.
In respect to the visitors, several of the
strongest members of The Age-Herald
team have agreed to give place to weaker
men. 1t would be inconsderate, to say
the least to stamp out all ambition on

TO RESTORE PENSION AGENCIES
If Action of Committee Is Sustained.
New Legislation Makes More Labor.

Washington. February 1.-THE eighteen
pension agencies in the country which the
House abolished in favor of the con-
centration of the disbursement of all
pension disbursement in Washington. Will
be rehabiltated If the action of the Sem
ate committee on pensions is sustained.
The Senate committee today decided to
recommend the amendment of the pension
bill so as to restore all the agencies and
TO make provisions for their further sup
port
The committee also decided to recon-
mend an additional appropriation of
sS0o0,00o for the increased expenditure
made necessary by the passage of the
service pension bill. The action on the
service pension service had much to do
with the change regarding agencies. as 1t
was the opinion of the members of the
committee that the increased labor made
necessary by the new legislation would
render 1t impracticable to do all the work
in one office.
With these amendments, Senator Nc
Cumber was authorized to report the ap-
preparation bill favorably.
