SMITH BOUND OVER
YOUNG MAN ACCUSED OF RECEIv-
 ING STOLEN PROPERTY.
New Orleans Detective Rebuked By Mobile Court and Lawyer for Prisoner Sues Out Writ of
 Hnbeas Corpus.

Mobile. April (Special.)-P. j.. Smith, the man held here for alleged connection with the robbery of the safe of the Miller billiard academy in New Orleans. was tried at special session of the recorders court today at 12:30 o'clock and was dismissed on the charge of being a fugitive from justice but bound over to the city court in a bond of $500 on the charge of receiving stolen property
 Many witnesses were introduced by the defense to show that Smith was in Mobile Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. The robbery is supposed to have been committed Thursday morning between 5. and 6 o'clock. a
 Detective John Dantonio from New Orleans was most active in having the man held and swore to warrants against him. The evidence introduced was to the effect that Smith had given the medals to Ernest Frank, local man. to pawn for him.
 When Frank was shown to have no further connection with the case than this he was dismissed.
 The attorney who represented Smith made a plea for the absolute dismissal of the defendant on. the ground that his story of finding the medals at Dau- phin and Cedar streets was perfectly plausible. The judge thought differ ently and stated that there was prob able cause to bind him over on the charge of receiving stolen property but warned the New Orleans detectives that if they wished to hold Smith they had better ."collect more evidence against him as he would obtain re- lease by habeas corpus proceedings.
 The attorney sued out the writ this evening. It will come up for trial Monday at g o'clock.

at Reunion of the Legislative
Club--Comment on Wood
ruff's Attitude.
STATE TICKET IS OUTLINED
Weeks the Choice for Second Place
Senator Gates After Bradstrects
Job--E'red Gaylord Would
BE Sheriff.

Aside from the fact that 1t was the
largest gathering of any legislative
club in the history Of the state, the
reunion of the 1907 legislature held
yesterday at Momauguin was dull In
the extreme, Before the gathering
had broken up Congressman Lilley,
who had been stationed out in the
hot sun. receiving visitors all day,
was pretty much overdone, and the
Lake party which had taken up head
quarters under the trees by the shore
had the laugh on him.
Congressman LIlley's conduct was
conservative in the extreme. He
shook hands with everyone In sight
He had one good assistant on hand In
the person of Souvenir" Taylor, who
scattered Lilley buttons over all the
tables az the dinner.
Governor Woodruff. who two days
ago announced that he was willing to
accept a denomination, was not pres
ent at the reunion. There was a
great deal of favorable comment over
his statement that he would be can
didate and many were disappointed
that he did not come to the dinner.
The patriots otherwise known as
the HessIans Andy Gates and j. Hen
ry Roraback, were on hand Com
missioner Gates Who has heen prom =

cording to report. wore light suit
and looked for all the world like a

tried to make an impression at var

upon settee and his face twisted in
to confidential attitude but he was
unsuccessful and finally gave the mat
ter up as bad job. Congressman
Lilleys hearty grasp and slap on the
back, which has gained for him the
title of the genial George Lilley, were
working over time.
Aside from the contest for the head
OF the ticket everything ran OF
smoothly. Frank B. Weeks. OK.
