Tiais, Feb. 17.-Reports have been received here from Armenia, that all the Redias. or Turkish army reserve forces in Van, Mush, and the other Vilayets of Asia Minor have been call- ed to the colors and are proceeding rapidly to the frontier.
 At the same time league of all the Turkish revolutionary parties is in- creasing the revolutionary agitation. Appeals and proclamations are being issued exorting the popualtion to pro- test in every way possible against the warlike plans of the Sultan. The League holds that war would be es- pecially disastrous at the present time, as there is a famine in Asia Minor.
 At Tifils the apprehension of hostii- ities have not abated. The Russian military authorities have ordered that all horses in the Caucasus suitable for military purposes be registered. The doctors of Tinis held a meeting recent ly and volunteered their services in case of war.

RIVER IS STILL RISING;
 THERE WILL BE NO DANGER
And Another Fair. Clear Day iu Prom. a. fnen


 Another sunshiny day is promised for today the rains seem to have disap- peared somewhat from this section of the country. and 1t 1s well that such is the case, from the fact that the Coosa and Alabama Rivers are now doing their utmost to get rid of all the water which the clouds recently deposited on the Coosa watershed.
 The river at Montgomery has risen to a height of 36 feet and will go higher by morning. The stage of 39 feet, as predicted by the weather bureau, will in all probability be reachsH by this noon. The gauge showed yesterday that the rise had been 8 Ia feet within the past twepty-four hours.
 At Wetumpka the gauge showed a reading of s7.s feet and was reported to be still rising.
 It is expected that the height of the freshet will pass Montgomery by this afternoon and that Wednesdays re- ports will show that the streams are falling. The bulletins sent out by the bureau have been of immense value. and much property was protected.
 Opposite the city the low ground which forms the bank of the great bend upon which Montgomery is situ- ated Is completely under water. and the drift is coming past on the swift current in great quantities.
 Over the west low barometer area prevails. and 1t Is expected that this will reach Montgomery and vicinity by Wednesday. With this low area. the temperature Is expected to rise slowly with increasing cloudiness. 1t is yet, a little t9o far off to predict win &C., curaey any great change in the pleas antness which has prevailed for the past few days, besides who wants to think rain after the deiuse some days ago?

APPEAL MADE TO ALL
 BUSINESS MEN OF CITY
Commercial CI1b Is Seeking to Increase its Powers for Good i'm Advanc-
 ing Montgomery's Interest,"

It's Powers Tor G00Q tm AavAMc~ ing Montgomery's Interest," A circular letter, called by the au- thor, Secretary c. Grosxenor Dave. of the Commercial Club, "An Appeal to Reason,'' is now being sent out to every business man in Montgomery. The letter was authorized by the Board of Directors at the last meeting. The object of this letter is to secure a larger membership and, a more ex- tended enthusiasm in the Commercial Club. It points out the good that may be accomplished through the organi- zation and calls on all business men who are not now members of the club to join.
 The letter is divided into terse ar- guments. showing that there is great future for Montgomery if the business men of the city will tut get together and utilize the natural advantages that the city enjosy.
 One of the facts set out in the letter is that in seventeen years less than S51 900 has been handled by the Club but the spirit of Montgomery as ex- pressed in the Club has led in seven teen years to such an increase in values, of -population and of trade that it is unquestionably correct to say that for every dollar invested in the club in seventeen years, there are twenty re- turned to the city annually.
 1t is pointed out that there is not q business man or property owner of any kind in the city that is not tNbene- fitted by Che increased development of Montgomery through organized effort. It is also cited that land values have increased through the publicity work done of further advancing the reputa- tiQA of the city at home and abroad.

RIGID LIQUOR LAW
LOwNDEs COUNTY GRAND JURY
 HEARS CHARGE.
Judse Richnrdson Te1ls Body To He- turn Indictments Where whiskey Is Shipped From Outside
 The State

Hayneville, Feb. 7.--(Special.) )---The spring term of the Circuit Court of this county was organized today, Judge J. O. Richardson presiding.
 Hon. Charles R. Bricken. solicitor. is here to attend to the duties con nected with his offlce.
 The charge of Judge Richardson to the grand jury was forceful and in- teresting. Judge Richardson held that if whiskey is shipped to Lowndes county from Pensacola or other places not in Alabama, the agent delivering 1t is liable to indictment and so is the company transporting 1t. He said fur ther that a person has no right to bring a bottle of whiskey to a friend. or any one else into the county; that if a person wanted whiskey for his own use he must go and purchase 1t and take it to his home and use 1t himself but he has no right to even give a person drink Sor any part of it.
 The foreman of the grand jury, E.. l.. Rogers, ask ed Judge Richardson if he meant. to say that whiskey can not be shipped legally to I.owndes county from outside the State. and the agent delivering it be liable to indictment, and the reply was that this was true.
 The candidates were In the court house when the charge was deliVereu' There were on hand three candidates for assessor, Messrs. Grace, Co<er and Scarborough. J. W. Dickson and Lloyd Hairston are here looking after the collectors office. D. S. Hurst, also a prominent candidate for collector, sent word he would be on hand. R. L- Goldsmith and G. M. Williamson are on the ground after the treasurer's of- flee. The candidates for board of rev. enue are here and while the present board is a very efficient one owing to a late statute, this county having been laid off in districts there will be some changes.
 Among the new candidates for the board of revenue prominently men tioned are pr. W. P. Russell, of Hayneville. and R. F. Twombly. of Braggs.
 Hon. E., P. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas have been here several days Mrs. Thomas is a sister of the late E. H. Pritchett. who was buried yes terday.
 Mir. and Mrs. Fl. S. Houghton. of Montgomery, were also here, Mrs. Houghton and Mrs. Pritchett being sisters.
 MT. Prichett was buried yesterday with Masonic honors. Few men were better known in this county and had more friends. He was born here thir- ty-seven years ago and lived here all his life.

Birmingham, Feb. 1T.--(SpeciaL)- )-- Coroner Paris [ of Jefferson County worked hard today on the case of ] H. Crawford special officer of the Souh- ern Railway, who was shot by negro car breakers. and his body placed on the tracks to be cut in two by an in- coming passenger train Sunday night.
 Evidence shows conclusively that the bloody deed was committed by negro burglars. who have been making an effort for many days to kill Crawford.

At her home was found a double-barrelled shot gun. which had one empty shell in 1t. and showed signs of having been recently fired. A lot of goods which had been taken from the car in which Crawford had discovered the car-breakers and had his fatal duel. was also found at the Cole home.

MIR. YUNG ARRESTED
TEST CASH WILL BE MADE OF sA-
 LOON SCREENS.
Weif-knewn Restaurnnf Man Promptly Made Bond ana win Carry Case
 to Supreme
 Court.

sheriff Hood yesterday morning served a warrant on John Yung. the proprietor of Yung's restaurant and bar. on an indictment returned by the last session of the grand jury. charging Mir. Yung with violation of the re- gently enacted o'clock closing Iaw Mir. Yung immediately made bond in the sum of s2e0 for his appearance in the City Court
 .SRumor proved correct when this an- nouncement was made few days ago, saying that this ease would be made test case for all alleged violations of the law. The Country Club was indict- ed for selling i.quor. but this indict- ment arose from another cause.
 Mir. Yung says that he was acting un- der the advice of attorneys in screening off his bar in the same manner in which the Sunday closing law Is observed, and says hat he will itake his ctse up to the Supreme Court. if 1t Is necessary Every night the bar is screened and 1oc ted, anc liquor is neiher sold nor given away after o'clock. That this has been the case Is evidenced by ths f. ct tht ladies have been served in the downstairs restaurant after 2 o'clock.
 Under the adv.ce of attorneys, his screening of of the bar was thought to be in full compliance with the law. but if the courts should uphold the law. that all buildings Tn which liquor Is stored shall be closed after . o'clock" what about the hotels of the city? Shall they be made to close their doors at this tin.se
 The hotels which run bars in con- nect.on with their establishment store their licuors in the cellar. and even thcugL the doors to the bar be locked ani Bnnor sold or given away after o'clock, the law would seem to apply as much as 1t does to screened bars. This would certainly work very un- necessary hardship. and 1t ia evident that this isrnot what the Legislature intended when the law was enacted.
 Some criticism was heard on the streets yesterday on the grand jury's action in sSiecting Mir. Yung's restau- rant to be used for test case. Why should MT. Yung be discriminated against in favor of the hotels, was the question asked by the critics.
 Yung's restaurant. for many years known as Fleming's. is probably the best-known cafe and bar in the State, 1t having been run in It's present build ing for about fifty years. Mr. Yung, the present proprietor, having succeeded Dave Fleming some years ago.
