Alabama movement and is one of the State leaders in the new movement. He Is recognized as an authority on good roads problems in Alabama.
 The benefits that would accrue both to the country and the town from good roads were pointed out by Mir. Under wood
 The most interesting part Of his speech, however. was devoted to an exposition of the proposed constitution al amendment allowing the State to help in a limited degree in the work of building good roads. MT. Under wood declared that considerable con- fusion existed in the popular mind as to this amendment. It was generally believed that the proposed amendment was the same as the Overton bill which provided machinery for distributing the funds and building the roads. This was an error. he satd. The adoption of the amendment would not pledge the State to the passage of the over ton bill. The amendment simply Ioos- ened the shackies that the Constitu- tion had put on the movement Tor sooo roads. After the amendment was adopted there would be no difficulty in finding . way for the foundation or . good system of roads.
 At the meeting no formal organisa- ton was made of the good roads en- thusiasts of the county. It was deter mined to walt to some later later oate for this.
 A good sized crowd went down from the City of Montgomery to at- tend the meeting.

 TROOPS AT THE STRIKE

Col. E. H. Graves. Acting Adjutant General came to Montgomery yester- day from Birmingham where he has been on strike duty. He was in the city to attend to some duties con- nected with the oniee of Adjutant General.
 During the absence of Adjutant General Blob Graves who is accom- panying the Alabama rife team to the national shoot at Fort Perry Colonel Graves Is acting as Adjutant General. He has been at headquarters in Bir- mingham since the Alabama troops re- turned from Chickamauga.
 Colonel Graves ventured no opinion on the situation In the mineral dis trict. He expressed qualification however. at the manner in which the Alabama militiamen, both officers and men, had conducted themselves in the trying duty around Birmingham. He thought that so far the soldiers had conducted themselves eXcellently In a delicate situation and that when they returned home the State would be proud of the Alabama National Guard.
 He was especially complimentary of the fine service rendered by Major ". J. Walden at Blocton. The way in which Major Walden had handled a dangerous situation. he said, was ad- mirable.

LIVES UP TO NAME
WILEY RINGsTAFF WON HIS Ac-
 QUITTAL.
Did Not Break Into States Prisou Crfb. As Was Charged-Wiu Thomas. Twice Guilty, Given More
 Time.

Wiley Ringstaff has been acquitted.
 Being the first case called yesterday morning in the criminal division of the City Court, Wiley was given plenty of time to tell why he was caught with corn that seemed to have been taken from the crib of prison Number 4. So well did he tell his story of buying corn in Montgomery and of carting 1t home, and also in explaining certain wagon wheel tracks from the jail crib to his home. that the jury in the case, after few moments 'deliberation, re- turned a verdict of not guilty. The calling of the case yesterday was the cause for a large number of specta- tors in Judge Thomas court, for every one wanted to hear why a negro had the nerve to break into the States prison, knowing nerfectly well that If caught he would be confined inside the walls. and that his next break would be to get out
 Wiley lived up to his name In excel- lent style. much to the disgust of the solicitor.
 John Stafney charged with burglary was the next case called. It was suc- cessfully proven that John had broken into his sisters home in order that he might get a certain bottle of Ticker hidden away at the bottom of tho trunk. While he was at It., John thought he night as we'll take dozen oranges and other good things he saw. He took them, and Judge Thomas will tell him on sentence day what he must do to pay forsthe privilege,
 Will Thomas allies "DoubIehead," ap- peared in court in baseball suit. win had just fouf charges against him. Three were for burglary and one was for grand larceny. VIII pleaded guilty toatwo of the Burglary charges and a jury found him guilty of the grand lar ceny indictment.

The climax In the one-sided love- affair came Monday night out at wash inston Park, when the recaIcttrant Mary approached Will, then in conver- sation with two 'omans of his church. and rudely. 1t would seem, to the casual observer, whisked his greatly prized black derby off his head She then retreated and dodeinx throughout the park led unwilling will dismal chase before he recovered the hat. This achievement was eoincident with the hestowal of a slap upon the face of the negress.
 Later upon reaching the city, Wil1 again had trouble with Mary. She appeared reluctant to depart from his presence and wherever he went, fhere went she close behind "Aggervated.' by her presence. Will for the second time slapped her. he testified. He was then able to make his escape.

HELD NO MEETING
COUNCIL COMMITTEE DID NOT GET
 TOGETHER.
Considerable Interest Evinced Through out the City I'm Charges Brought That the School Census
 Has Been Padded.

The special committee of the City Council of Montgomery appointed to investigate charges that the school cen- sus of the city had been padded by one of the census takers, made no move in the matter yesterday.
 President Gaston Gunter of the Coun- ell. who is chairman of the Committee was busily engaged in other matters but as soon as possible a plan of inves- tigation will be arranged by the com mittee.
 It will be remembered that the changes of padding were brought by F. NJ. Mcqueen in a communication to the Council at its regular semi i-monthly meeting last night. Mcqueen had tax en the school census on the east side of the city, and his figures showed up considerably below the usual number in the census On the other hand, the figures of Hugo Noa, who took the census on the west side of the city showed up with the usual number.
 The School Board authorized that the census on the east side be taken again and Noa was appointed to do the work. The usual figures were reported by him. Mcqueen took this as a re- nectlon on his personal integrity and demanded an investigation. A com rnittee of President Gunter. Aldermen Virgin and Moritz was appointed to conduct the investigation.
 Yesterday the point was made that in. all probability the first census taken would have to stand, despite the result of the committee's investigation. It was pointed out that the census had to be taken in July and the second census was not completed until August.
 To make the second census hold good, there would have to be a special order from state Superintendent of Educa- ton. H. c. Gunnells. In the mean time. the result of the investigation Is being watched with no little interest.
