YOUTHS SURRENDER
DEsERTERs FROM THE NAVY GIVE
 THEMSELVES UP.
M. T. Runion and F. Berx. Mere Boys, Prompted by Conscience and Footsore, Tell of Their Misc
 ries and Disappointments.

Hungry and footsore harrassed by fear of sleuths on their trail. and har- rowed by approaches Of conscience M. T. Runion and F. Berg. deserters from the United States navy, walked into the office of police headquarters early yes terday morning and delivered them selves up to Chief Taylor and Sergeant McDade They stated that they were anxious to expiate their offense and were willing to undergo whatever pun fshment may be neted out to them.
 Chief Taylor telegraphed to New Orleans. from which place the men de- serted stating that he had them in prison, and taking what disposition he should make of them. In answer. he received a telegram requesting that they be sent to New Orleans, and under the surveillance of Sergeant McDade, they last night left for that city.
 Runion and Berg, who are both only boys frankly related their tale to Chief Taylor. Allured by romantic tales of the sea, they enlisted in the navy a short while ago with the idea of viewing the wonders of foreign countries. The prosaic life aboard ship promptly despoiled them of all illu- sions in this respect. and when finally assigned to the monotonous drudGery of sailors in the navy yard at New Orleans. they felt tha. they could no longer endure the work and determined to desert.
 Their plans were realized about July 1. when. without detection, they left the hated locality of the ship yard with the intention of making their way to New York, in which place Berg for .merly lived. The boys, however, were little prepared for the dificulties which they had to. encounter and, with the constant dread of detectives dog ging their footstepA. long continued periods during which they could obtain no food, and the fatigue endured irs travelling on foot. they soon made Up their minds that the navy could be no worse than such . life ana decided to give tn eneeivcs up. s
 The result of their decision was that they went to police headquarters yes terday morning and made a clean breast of the entire proceedings. The boys impressed all who saw them by their manly appearance and sympathy was evinced for their faisfortunes. The penalty for desertion when the deserter voluntarily gives himself up within fifteen days is thirty days on the brig with only bread and water refresh ments. It is not probable under the circumstances that a very heavy pen- atty will be imposed upon the youthful deserters.

He Will Make Legal Fight Against
 Anna Gould.
 Paris, July 8.-Count Boni de Cas- teilane whose former wife was mar Tied yesterday in London to Prince He- lie de SaRan, the counts cousin, has onened what promises to be sensa- tional legal battle for the possession of his three children, the offspring of his marriage with Miss Anna Gould.
 The step taken by the Count yester- day. which generally has been misun- derstood, is merely preliminary skir- rnish. This was mot a formal demand for the custody of the children, but an aftermath of the removal last week by the count of his son Jay from the residence of his former wife at Ver- sales.
 Maitre Bonnet. counsel for the Count. yesterday afternoon petitioned tho court to re-indorse his clients right to retain Jay temporarily on account or the child's illness and because of the insufficient care he was receiving as Versailles during the absence of his mothef.
 Maitre Bonnet told the correspondent of the Associated Press today that Q decided move would be made in a few days, when he would ask the court to give the custody of all the children to count on the ground that the Princess the Count on the grounds that the Princess de sagan was not suitable protector for them, in so much as she is under complete dominition and control of Prince Helie de Sagan, who is unworthy to hold the position of father to the ehildreu

PEOPLE SHOULD NOW REJOICE AS COOLER AIR IS PREDICTED

Fair weather today Is the prediction of the bureau. And to add just little bit more which should help. 1t Is also promised that 1t. will be slightly cool or. Technically the high barometer area has come Into its own. and by its influence the clouds have been shooed away. Likewise under its irperious sway, the height to which the amhi- tious mercury of the thermometer can rise is limited.

 Showers visited nearly all of the States of the cotton belt yesterday. but the rainfall generally was light. Only in several points of North Georgia was there anything which could be termed heavy downfall. A high barometer area over Illinois produced fair and cool weather in sections thereabout the area thus affected extending down to the North Alabama line
 The Alabama river has experienced a slight rise which will continue for day or two. Its extent, however, will be insignificant.

 Building. Sew Structure is to Take Care of Ad- vertlser's Growth-spIendid New Press Is to be Installed in
 New Structure.

Actual work was begun yesterday on the new Advertiser Building. The old two story building to the east of the present Advertiser office was being torn away.
 The work will be pursued vigorously and actively for the completion of the new building in the fall. The con struction work is in charge of Hug ger Brothers the well known contrac- tors of Montgomery The preliminary work is the tearing of away or the old ante-bellum building which ad- joins The Advertiser To the rear or this is one of the few remaining build ings devoted to housing slaves petore the war. This old brick structure VIII also be torn away.
 The new building marks an era in the growth of The Advertiser. When The Advertiser moved into It's present building on the corner or Lawrence street and Dexter avenue 1t was pe- lieved this large structure would af- ford room for the paper for at least a dozen years. But the growth of The Advertiser was much faster than was expected. new story was put on the building. But the paper soon outgreW this. Then the lot next to the build- ing with twenty-five frontage on Dex- ter avenue was purchased at high hg-
 
 growth of the Advertiser:
 The new building will be of concrete and steel It will have concrete base- ment and three stories. The front will be of cut stone, pressed brick and plate glass. 1t will have the same frontage as the present Advertiser building but 1t will be of a different appearance.
 The new building will be built side by side with the old building. It will for the present be three stories in height and each floor or the new build ing will open upon the corresponding floor of the old building. In the new building as in the old building the first floor will be devoted to the business oflce. The present business onice force will occupy the entire first floor On the second floor connecting doors and arches will be cut and the editorial force will occupy the double noor or the two joint buildings.
 The third floor will have large steel arches to connect the buildings and the double floor will give the room that is so badly needed in the mechani- cal department.
 Specially prepared quarters will be built for the splendid new press which has been purchased by the Advertised. This press will be the most modern in the South. As matter of fact only three of it's kind are in use throughout the United States. This Is: the .Aigh Speed Straightline Goss Press. through which paper travels at the rate Of twenty-two miles an hour. This press has a capacity Of sixty thousand, eight page papers an hour ...z-,

 Caracas, June 27.--At last Caracas oficiaIly has the plague and the cred 1t for having finally brought this sad confusion to the government is due to the initiative shown by the German minister.

 It was little over a week ago that the diplomatic corps met at Baron de Seckendorfe's house to consider joint ac- ton on the plague.
 It Is natural to believe that the Uni ted States which should have been interested in the plague situation here' because of the proximity of its shores and of the Washington sanitary agree ment which bound Venezuela to give notice of the presence of the plague

A GOOD JOB
 TO BE FILLED Who Will Be Member of Railroad Connissions GOVERNOR. coMER TO APPOINT Gossip Is Busy With Names for
 Place. H. s. Kesihofer of Montgomery, s. P. Kennedy of Anniston, Mayor H.
 A. skesE. of Decatur. Are
 Among the Mentioned. 
GOVERNOR. coMER TO APPOINT

Probable applicants for the once of Associate Railroad Commissioner are beginning to spring from the lips of those interested in the vacancy caused by the death of Major John c. Harris. The Governor is out of the city and probably will not return before next Monday. surely not before next Satur- day.
 It is presumed. however. that if the Governor were here he would postpone the appointment out of respect to the memory of the late Commissioner Har- ris.
 There Is strong organization work ing in behalf of 6. P. Kennedy, now Secretary of the Commission. Mir. ern end of the State and. 1t Is believed. is looked upon with favor by the Gov- ernor He is a railroad tariff expert. Mir. Kennedy Is yet quiet on the mat. ter.
 Gossip, too. hangs on the name of Senator John A. Lusk. of Marshall. He Is recognised Statewide as a close per- sonal friend of the Governor, has fought continually for the adminlstra- ton and may see his reward in this new honor.
 The only name mentioned in this section was that of H. S. Keaihofer, manager of the Montgomery Freight Bureau. Mir. Kealhofer has had sev. eral years experience tn the railroad business. Just how he stands with the Governor is speculative though 1t is not believed that the nature of Mir. Kealhofer's work in Montgomery would be at all inconsistent with the talent required of man sitting on the Com- mission,
 2 Whoever the choice will be, he will sit for the unexpired term of the late Major Harris. This Is now two years and half Whoever Ia the choice may also expect to jump right Into harness after appointment as the Commission has many labors on It's hands. Chair man Charles Henderson and Associate W. D. Nesbitt are now on tour of several counties to hear complaints,
 1t is believed that Mayor H. A. skeggs of Decatur will be a strong possibility for the vacancy. Mir. SkegRs was one of the pioneers in the politi- Ical movement which carried the Gov. ernor first Into the otfsce of the Presi- dent of the Railroad Commission and second Into the Governors chair. On- like most of the pioneers in this move ment Mayor Skeggs did not get a re- ward in the shape of an once.
 There has been some talk of c. T. McElderry. but in political circles 1t Is not believed that Mr. McElderry will be an applicant. Mir. McElderry was one of the leaders and pioneers in the movement against the railroads. But he has not endorsed what the LeEisIa- ture and the administration has done. He has criticized the administration for failure to accomplish actual reforms for the people.

 Mobile. July s--(special. )--Hon. W. c. Fitts. former Attorney General of the State of Alabama, will in all prob. ability be an applicant for appoint ment as Associate Railroad Comrnis- sioner to i'll the vacancy caused by the death of Major John c. Harris
 Mir. Fitts' interests are already being spoken of in Mobile and while he has not definitely announced his candidacy people close to him say that he will be In the field at the proper time.
 It Is urged in his behalf that Mobile and South Alabama are entitled to rep resentation on the Commission. Presi- dent Henderson. of Troy, represents Middle Alabama. while W. D. Nesbit, of Birmingham. can likewise be con- sidered representative of the north- eFn section of the State. and friends of Mir. Fitts say that the Governor would make no political mistake in naming a South Alabamian.
 Mr. Fitts supported Governor Conner in the last primary for State officers, although at the time he was a candi- date for alternate United States Sem ator.

G. q. ARNOLD DEAD.

The remains of Columbus G.
Arnold, who died Friday, were
brought here from Trezevant and
given burial at Chalk Hill Gene
terry Saturday.
Mr.. Arnold formerly resided in
this county, but for several years
he had been living in the second
district of Carroll County, near
Trezevant, and was a successful
and prosperous farmer. He died
of cancer of the mouth. We are
indebted to friend of the family
for the following brief mention:
Columbus G. Arnold was born
October 30, 1856, in Benton Coun-
ty and died July 3, 1908, leaving a
wife and six children. At the age
of fifteen he made a profession of
faith in Christ, but lived a, Chris
tian life only about four years. A
few years ago his Christian faith
was revived, and when on his dy-
ing bed he proclaimed his willing
ness to die; he said he was salts
fed. This blessed hope is a con-
ISOLATION to the bereaved family
and relatives who have the SYM
pathy of many friends.
