STRUCK WITH AXE
PEARSON TALLEY MADE VICIOUS
 ATTACK ON FAMILY.
In Temporary Fit of Insanity, STaa in Delaware, Struck Wife, Son.
 in-Law and Others.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. s.--During a fit of temporary insanity, Pearson Tal- ley, sixty years old, of this city. early today attacked his wife. his adopted daughter. Edith Johanson, and Der husband. Andrew Johanson. and infiict- axe that the victims are not expected to live. Talley is under arrest and says he cannot account fo rhis murder, ous deed.
 TalIey attacked his wife as she lay in bed and fractured her skull with the axe. He then went to the bed room of his adopted daughter and struck her with the weapon as she slept. laying open her six ull. Her bus. riated man was about to bring the weapon down on him. He grappled with his father-inlaw, warding off a blow from the axe. Talley, however. struck at him again and in- ficted wound on the back of the head. They wrestled all over the bedroom for some time, but Johanson could not get the axe away from Tally. and when John Farmar, living next door. who had been at- tracted by the noise, arrived on the scene. Johanson was nearly exhausted from loss of blood.
 After he had been subdued the des- perate man seemed to come to his senses for a time and begged the peo- pie around him to kill him with the axe. Later he was taken to the hos pital.
 The wife, when the husband was taken before her. told the police that he was a good, kind husband and Mrs Johanson said she did not want him severely punished as he had been very good to her.

BODY STILL
 IN THE RIVER Men Searched All Day
 for Frank Scott. DYNAMITE IS EXPLODED
Family Has Offered a Reward of
 $50.
search Lights Have Been Placed o' The Bridge And watchers Have Been stationed at The Fer
 ries Below The Scene

All day long yesterday the Alabama river was patrolled by launches ana it's banks were walked by searchers for the body of Frank D. Scott. the well known Montgomerian who was drown ed at the Roberts Place. three miles from Montgomery Tuesday afternoon. The family of MT Scott last nikht of fered a reward of $50 for the finding of the body.
 This is expected to interest mum Der of fishermen and rivermer in the search. The finder of the body is ask ed communicate with Stewart Mcken- zie in the First National Bank as soon as the body is located.
 The search was maintained practical ly all of Tuesday night and all of yes terday. During the Tuesday night search, Glenn T. Fitzpatrick, a well known Montgomerian, who was en- gagged in the search slipped on the river bank and sprained his ankle It was thought at one time that the fall had broken his leg. But after phy- sician was reached his injuries were found to be smallep>than had been at first thought.
 The searchers yesterday were handi- capped by a lack of dynamite. This could not be secured In montgomery. It had to be ordered from Birmingham. On its arrival last night the dynamite was taken in a launch up the river, where 1t was exploded piece by piece in the search.
 In addition to the searchers pickets have been stationed at each ferry be- low the scene of the drowning. On the road bridge beyond Riverside two big search lights have beea placed. These search lights beat upon the water throughout the night while watchers examined the current as it flowed past.
 The search has been most systematic. It is not believed that the body has yet risen to the surface for so thorough has been the search by the bank patrollers and the launches that 1t Is believed 1t would certainly have been discovered if 1t had been visible. Chief among the searehers was Ed Graham. who was with Mir. Scott when the un- fortunate tragedy occurred. The young men had gone into the river for quiet swim on a hot afternoon. After Mir Graham had gotten on the bank andshad dressed. Mr. Scott stepped into water over his head and before any assistance could be given him he sank to rise no more.

WOULDBUnD WHARF
PROPOSITION AGAIN UP TO SELMA
 COUNCIL.

CommereisI and industrial Aawocia-
 tioa Discussed fhe Proposition
 of the Raiircad and Nayi-
 gation Company.
 Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma Sept. 3. Proposition from the Birmingham Gulf Railway and Navigation Com pany In the shape of a franchise or dinance to be presented by the Com mercial and Industrial Association to the City Council was the principal matter discussed at the Commercial and Industrial Association tonight. The company proposes to build a warehouse depot and wharf on the river at the foot of Franklin street. The lot which Is a large one Is owned by the city, and the franchise is to be perpetual. for which the city would receive e1o0 year rent.
 The company also proposed to have the depot and warehouse of steel which is to be equipped with elevators and to be built according 10 plans of the city engineer. It developed dur ing the meeting that when here a few days ago Vice President Dewherry of the Navigating Company, proposed to form an alliance with an Eastern Steamship Company with expectation of handling a large quantity of freight from the East and thereby reducing freight rates and in that way would also force railroads to reduce freight rates.
 This ordinance was discussed for some time by various members of the association. The perpetual clause was ohtected to and strong talks were made against the city giving away It's only logical wharf site. A resolution which suggested several changes m the pro- posed ordinance will be referred to the citv council.

AmuSen7enfs
aupder the Greenwood Tree.

His Majesty" the American thea going public, has only himself to blame! Refusing to recognize merit in the young set of actors and actresses. they must. perforce, accept those who have been with us long while and have made name-and then, forsooth, because the king can do no wrong, his majesty gets sore because an actress does not remain, or go back to, the appearance of one of l6.
 Certainly the patrons of Under the Greenwood Tree" last night were not turned away for lack of room, to tell the truth, no one could blame the poor folk on the stage for not being enthu- siastic. and. for fact. they weren't.
 Theodore Dudley. the stenographer. easily took all the honors. and was very nicely supported by Edwin van sloan. To tell the truth, rneodora was the whole of it. except every now and then Miss Davis would rush In and extol nature for making flowers. and open air, and hot air. In this, toward the end Of the excitement Ei- liott Dexter contributed. although the poor fellow carried one eye in a sling. What happened to Elliotts eye possibly the public will never know. those who saw the play will never know, but certain 1t is they will re- member the result.
 There are possibilities in Under the Greenwood Tree" vague, it is true. but maybe Maxine Elliott could bring them out. If she can't, no one else ought to try 1t.
 The Montgomery theatre going pub lie sincerely hopes Elliott will get his eye back in place and will be glad to see him and Miss Davis again, but in another play. 1t would be a good idea. come to think of it. to girdle the greenwood tree and let 1t die.
 There will be a performance of '1le- Fadden's Flats at the Grand tonight. and 1t will be differept from Under the Greenwood Tree" though possibly not SO aH-fired deep, that lt is too far for the players to reach to get the part up.
 Anyway. the music was good and the scenic effects were artistic.

Besides. there is no need of rushing this feature of the business since 1t can be legally postponed until within thirty days of the general cleo. ton or until after the first ,f October
 The voters of Alabama will have this year the largest assortment of candi. dates to vote for in the general elect ion that was ever spread before their vision. The Secretary of state has re- ceived certificates of nominations from the Democrats. and the two Re- publican wings. ana aas been advised that in due time the nominees of the Socialists for electors will be filed as well as a set of names representing the Prohibition Party. Already the Independence Party, commonly known as the Hearst" Organization. has filed its emblem and nominees.
 The emblems of all the parties men, tioned have been filed except that of the Prohibitionist. The chances arc that before the end of September the emblem and nominees of the Prohibit tIonists as well as the candidates of the Socialist Party. will have been filed with the Secretary of State.
 It will put more work in propor- ton on the election and returning ofii- cers To all this counting must be added the labor of counting votee on the three constitutional amendments. which are to appear on the ballots.
