He Was Captured in Texas and There WAn Re General Fight for First Jurisdictfon--MontEo
 May Try

J.J. Brandt the New York exchange manufacturer. who defiauded a number of Alabama hotels with his spurious paper. has been arrested In Texas and will be prosecuted.
 The several Alabama hotels. inciud- ing one in Montgomery. want him brought back to this State for trial. and 1t is more than likely that there will be lively contest over the juris- diction that will have first chance to punish him.
 Sandford C. Brandt, of Savannah. Ga, one of the best-known and most popular traveling men in the South, arrived in Montgomery yesterday in- mediately on the h0els of the publica- tion of the misdoings of the man who had abused local hospitality under his name and in a good-natured way was "guyed" to the point of annoyance by the publication of the story, and the ues of his name.
 The man who registered at the hotels he is alleged to have imposed on was not named Brandt at all and only used the name to conceal his identity. So the latest reports say.

CATHOLIC UNION CONDEMNS
 THE TRAFFIC OF LIQUOR

New Haven, Conn. Aug. 13-Denun- ciation of the liquor traffic, an appeal for qualification on Sunday and the exclusion from membership in Catholic societies of those engaged in the liquor traffic, were the striking features or the resolutions adopted by the National Convention of the Catholic Totai Abstinence Union today.
 The resolution declares that mot in drunkenness and riotous living, can a man make effective profession of the Catholi faith
 with indignation, the union protests against It's critics. It does not feel that 1t should stoop to contest the claim tor ultra orthodoxy which have been so bluntly made by those who have tried to substitute a beer mug for the standard of the cross The day of apology fo rtotal abstinance is over"
 The resolutions also says: Catholic periodicals that cannot live without liauor advertisements should die. Let them not drag on the Catholic name in their greed. We earnestly suggest that Catholic organizations which ex- clude saloon keepers from membership and which forbid the use of liquor at their meetings, should tolerate the formation of clubs within their mem bership which despise the letter and spirit of these laws that have been made by their organization for the honor of the Catholic name"
 The following cablegram was re- eeived from Rome in answer to a mes sage sent by the convention:
 "Bishop of Hartford: Holy Father thanks convention for their congratu- lations and willingly blesses all mem bers.
 (Signed) Cardinal Merry Del Val"
 The invitation of Rev. P. J. o'cailag- han. c. s. P. to hold the next conven- tion in Chicago. was accepted The work of the convention closed with the election of the following of ffcers: President. Rev. James T Cof- fer. St. Louis: Secretary. Edwin Null ready, Rockland, Mass

that the Sultan surrender one-haif of his private fortune to aid in the res habitation of the Empire, Is declared here to be untrue.
 Many similar Irresponsible state. ments are to be found in the local press or given out by members of the young Turks committees. For inc stance 1t was announced recently that the Sultan had offered s5o0.000 toward the purchase of two cruisers. but this rumor Is stiii without a copnrmation whatever. Abdul Hamid has made dos nations for a variety of objects. and if is believed that reports like the foregoing are launched to act as a hint.
 | The discontent caused by the dismiss al of a large number of officials has Induced the Government to make an effort to effect retrenchment by re- ducing salaries instead of dismissal. Consequently 1t has been decided that all salaries above $50 a month shall be reduced by one-half.
 The strike of the street car men con- tinues hut the Young Turk committee has succeeded in bringing about par. tial settlement and a resumption of the work of/ loading and unloading shipping in the harbor.

P. BARH.LA AMBUSHED IN
 LONELY SPOT AND KILLED

New York. Aug. 13.--Ambushed in a lonely spot known as "Murderer's field" on the Lincoln road in the Flat bush section of Brooklyn late last night. Pietro Barilla, weli-to-do ho- tel keeper of Woodhaven, was attacked and killed by number of men.
 Barilla Is thought to have gone to the place to keep an appointment, as a letter was found on his person, seem ingly written in blood. Barilla rode to the scene on bicycle and carried a magazine revolver which he nearly emptled in a desperate defense. Per- sons nearby heard shots. and rushing to the place saw men fleeing across the fields.
 Rarlila was found dead with four stab wounds In his breast and back and two bullet wounds. The slayers were evidently frightened away before they had an opportunity to rob the victim. if that was their motive. as a large roll of bills and q gold watch were left. Antonio Delmarto, a cousin of Barilla Is held awaiting an investi- gation.

BABE OF WHITE PARENTS
 FOUND IN FILTHY POOL

Lying almost completely immersed in a pool of dirty water near the lower wetumpka road. about seven miles from Montgomery. the body of a young white baby was discovered yesterday morning by a passer-by. The matter was reported to Coroner Tiee, who ln- yestigated the finding of the body but was able to obtain no clue to the iden- tity of the dead infant.
 Evidently thrown into Seven Mile Creek. possibly several days ago, the body of the infant, through the reces- sion of the waters of the small stream, remained in the pool thus formed. Be- yond the fact that the child was ot white parents, absolutely nothing could be learned concerning 1t. Investiga- tion will be further pursued and every effort will be made to discover the parents.
