MAGNESS IN COURT
ON TRIAL FOR DISSIPATION FROM
 NAVY.
son-ln-Lavv of Late Senator GOrman Pleads That His Conduct Was
 Due to Brainstorm---DecisiOn Reserved.


 Philadelphia. Pa, Nov. f2-Basing his defense on the pleading that he twas guilty of being absent without leave" but not guilty of "desertion from the United States navy" as charged by the government. Charles J. Magness, who married Miss Ada German. daughter of the late Senator German of Maryland, was tried be- fore a court martial tribunal at the Philadelphia Navy Yard today.
 The government, after proving that Magness did not report after the ex- piration of leave of absence which had been granted to him. rested it's case.
 Magness was the chief witness in his own behalf. He admitted that he overstayed his leave of absence. but he asserted he had no idea of desert ing.
 Attorney Albert H. O'Drien, who de- tended the alleged deserter, said that the whole trouble was due to brainstorm" which affected Magness and was responsible for his actions. In his reply, Judge Advocate Muir, who represented the prosecution, ridiculed this contention and said:
 "I have seen many brainstorms but the counsel for the defense has offer ed something new in that line"
 The findings of the court will be sent to the Secretary of the Navy at Washington.

WON'T MOVE COLLEGE
TALLADE0A WINS BEFORE STATE
 PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.
TaIladega's Proposition Was More Ac- ceptable to the synod Than That
 Submitted by City of


 Mobile. Nov. 12.-tSpecial. l--After discussions which have lasted through out the days that the Presbyterian Sy- nod has been In session in this city 1t was decided today that the female college of the Presbytery shall re- main at Talla1ega. in spite of the fact that a hard fight was made In the interest of moving the college to Am nlston.
 To represent Talladega. Hon. Borden Burr, Solicitor of the Seventh District, was sent here and he argued the mat ter Tn a most convincing manner and to him Is due the credit for keeping the seminary at Talladega. He came with a proposition from Talladega to give a twelve acre tract of land and $1,500 in money towards the construc- ton of the new structure. The stipu- latlon was made that the old building would be disposed of and the amount obtained from this placed toward de- fraying the expenses of building a brick structure to be known as the Female Presbyterian College.
 Anniston offered the old Annlston Inn, said to be a fine building, but the argument was strongly in favor of Taliadega. in view of the fact that the college had fiourished there many years. So 1t was decided at the morn ing session today, which lasted Into the afternoon. that the building shall remain at Talladega. The new struc- ture will cost $35.000 and the property given to the Presbyterians by the city of Talladega Is worth $45.000. making the property worth about $S0.000.
 At the afternoon session, pr. Fuller ton Of the Southwestern Presbyterian University, addressed the meeting and tonight the report of the Orphans Home was discussed.

fire to it. The poor animal ran
yelping down the street and it was
not until it had gone several
blocks that the flames were ex-
tinguished. A policeman hurried
to the place where the dog had
started and threatened to arrest
the whole place unless he found
out who done the dastardly deed.
Mundell admitted it and seemed
to think he had perpretrated quite
a joke. He was thrown into Jail
and his bond placed at $500 which
he was unable to furnish. The
Society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals will push the
case. The penalty is from one
day to one year in Jail and from
one dol lar to five hundred dollars
fine.
This is one of the cruelest acts
that has ever been done in the city
and public sentiment is strongly in
favor of Mundell-who has none
to savary a reputation in MinOt-
getting the limit.
