 That oficial, after q few moments thought. decided 1t would be best for me to be brought here to jail. as he feared a mob might undertake to lynch me If I was left in Hefin. As I un- derstand it. that Is why I am here.
 This is the first trouble have ever had in my life. I never saw inside a prison before. nor was ever witness in court I was in Edwardsviile try ing to secure an education as best could with my own earnings.
 T worked at the KHby Loeomotive works In this city this year up to July 27. when I went away to school at Edwardsville. I was in school there pine months last year.

COAST LINE LOSES
DECISION IN FRANcHIsE TAX SUIT
 BY JUDGE sAYRE.
Followed in Wake of Decision by Same Jus@e fn Similar Cases eR
 other Lines Suing For

Sustaining the demurrers of the plaintiff in the. case of the Atlantic Coast Line against Probate Judge J. B. Gaston, Judge Sayre Monday morning ruled that the road must pay the fran chise tax on foreign corporations, amounting. in both State and county tax. to s6.234.
 The amount had been paid. during the spring, under protest, by the rail- road, and suit entered for its recov- cry. At the same time. the Seaboard Ar Line and the Central of Georgia sued for the recovery of taxes paid by them. Decisions have already been rendered in the cases of the tow lat ter roads. in which. like the A. c. L., the State and county were upheld.
 The bill of complaint flled by the A. C. L., alleged that the railroad was not justly termed foreign corpora ton. inasmuch as the Atlantic Coast Line represented the merger of two roads, one the Alabama Midland and the other the Savannah, Florida and Western of Georgia. and that the merger was made under the laws or the State of Alabama, thus laying claim as . domestic corporation.
 In the demurrers. of the defendant, which were sustained by Judge Sayre in q written decision, 1t was desiared that. upon the merger of two corpora tions. each of the component bodies is subject to the laws of the State Tn which they were individually operated:
 The alleged unconstitutionality of the statute providing for the foreign corporation tax was also touched upon in the Din of complaint.
 It Is likely that an appeal from the decision of Judge Sayre will be made by each of the three roads affected.

TALKS OF TRAGEDY
YOUNG VAUGHN TELLS OF ED WARDsVILLE SHOOTING.
Student Declares He Was Prosecuted By a Party of Men and He
 shot to Defend - Himself.

Anniston Nov. s.-(Special.) )-James W. Vaughn. the young white man or Rabbit Town. this County, who is In the County jail here charged with Kill ing Jackson Barker and woundlng James Albert and Bart Mccormick in dlfhcufty Saturday evening at Edwards- vile and was brought to Anniston shortly after the shooting for his pro- lection. and for safe-keepIng. was seen in the jail this morning and with some reservation made a statement of the trouble and the causes leading up to it..
 He says he acted in self-defense; that he regretted very much the neces- sity that forced him into the only trouble hn has ever had.
 "The trouble started month or more ago" said Vaughn. because had been deputized by the police officer to assist in the arrest of Ezra Warren, a friend of my enemies in Edwardsville on a charge of drunk and disorderly conduct! I was sent by the officer Into an oithouse to arrest Warren, where these friends of hls were trying to con ceal. him from the officer. This act of mine infiamed Barker and his friends against me. and they have been in- dulging in various threats against me ever since. This fact had put me on guard, as I naturally expected them to attack me if occasion offered.
 Saturday evening I was returning to my rooming place. upstairs in the Bennett Barber building, from supper at Mrs. Bennetts. when a crowd of six or seven men approached me an1 my room mates. against one of whom Fred J. Watson. they had grievance of like character. and 1t was to Wat son that the crowd at first addressed itself, with a threat to do him vio- lence. He. however dodged into the stairway that led Up to our rooms. and the crowd then turned on me and one of them-Barker. believe-laid hands on me. at the same time threatening me with violence. I told them to keep back and away from me or I would hurt them, but they continued to press me. and 1 began to shoot to defend my self. My friends, in the meantime. had hed-up the stairs and I was alone with the crowd.
 Tn a moment after I began shoot ing the crowd ran away, some of the men going only a short distance; but Barker, who, I am told. was killed, ran a full 100 yards before he fell.
 After the shooting I stood there alone for a moment and then started to my uncle's. At his house l was joined by Jesse Morgan and Will Bur gess, to whom I stated my purpose tc

Official Fielding Averages
 Of National League Players

Cubs third sacker and two less errors than the latter
 Tinker of the Cubs was easily the peer of the shortstops with only 30 er- TOTS out of 923 chances. 570 of them being assists. Honus Wagner of Pitts burg had 50 errors out of SIS chances. nearly 100 less assists than Tinker. but Hans made up for 1t with his stick. The three leading pitchers were Reul- bach of the Cubs. Christy MatheWson of the Giants and three-hngered Brown of the Cubs.
 Mathewson was easily the king of all the fielding pitchers. He pitched ten more games than Reulbach. had i've less errors than the latter 64 more assists and 12 more putouts. While Brown did not have an error In forty four games he did not have anything g like the assists that Mathewson had. though he had eight more putouts than McGraw's star.
 Mathewson's control was the strong point of his pitching. In nfty-six games he only hit three battere. gave only forty-two bases on balls--four- teen less than one a game--struck out over four a game, made only two wild pitches. pitched three extra-innlng games. one tie game, twelve shutouts. winning thirty-seven and only losing eleven of his games. Mathewson did more than any one player on McGraw's s bunch to land the Giants where they stopped. and he should get big place in New York fandoms hall of fame.

VICTIMS ARE BURIED.
Division of Opinion on Law League Tragedy.

Tragedy.
 Birmingham, Nov, 9-(SpectaD- The funerals of Policeman J: W. Lit tie, J. w Harris and his two-year-oli baby and A. w. Womack, took place today, the officer being inferred at his old home at Morris. in the upper part of the county.
 The bodies of Harris and his baby were buried together in one casket.
 The terrible tragedy is still being discussed. While the coroner does not seem Inclined to hold Officer Jones, who went with Officer Little to the place to find a citizen who was re- ported as being drunk and dtsorderly a warrant will probably issue. from rela- lives of some of the dead charging him with participation in the shooting.
 At the advice of the assistant solici- tor of the county. Chief of Police Bodeker kept Officer Jones under sur veiIIance until thfe matter could be full Iy investigated by the coroner.
 There has been denial that the home of Harris was a blind tiger. On the other hand an officer of the Law and order League asserts that the liduor was kept in the home and disposed of either through or around inc little store adjoining. Mrs. Harris resents the statement that the place was blind tiger
 The friends of Harris and Womack are indignant over the killing and are not backward in saving what they think of the affair

In golf there is just enough skill required to get up keen interest in the game and this takes up your thoughts while you are getting a i've or six mile walk"

At present the city health officers have only fifty cases of contagious dis ease to deal with. Twenty-four are alleged cases of small pox, but are be- lieved to be more of the varioloid class. Twelve are scarlet fever, and twelve are diphtheria. These are all quaran- tined and are well in hand, there be- ing practically no danager of the spread of any of them.
 This number, for a city the size of Montgomery. is considered unusually small as a comparison with the statis- tics of nearby cities shows.
