ABE sIEGEL GUILTY
BIRMINGHAM MAN WILL SERVE

First of the "Graft Fund.- Cases Prose- cuted by Law and order League Comes to a
 C1oaA

Birmingham. March I1.--(Special. )-- The jury in the case of Abe Siegel, charged with bribery, brought in verdict this afternoon of guilty, and assessed the punishment at i've years in the penitentiary.
 The arguments continued three hours and Judge Weaver gave the general charge.
 Judge Weaver today put a stop to the many questions that were piled to wit nesses in the case of Siegei. The at- torneys for the defense asked the wit nesses in reference to the deputy sher- if who collected up the graft fund, the understanding being that protec- tion would be given for gambling.
 P. c. Bowman was conducting the questioning while Solicitors Hefiin and Aird and Hinds Peevy, attorney for the Sheriff, represented the State.
 Tn order to see what the questions would be a motion was made to allow the 1ury to leave the court room, but this was objected to. The attorneys for the State expressed the opinion that the questions were being asked to bring up many points that were not permissible. The argument in the case began in the afternoon.
 As on the previous day there was a large attendance in the court members of the Law and Order League being present to hear the testimony and to see exactly what conditions were about the city, while members of the sport ing fraternity were on hand.

MOBILE Y. M. (. A. SENDS
 STRONG BASKET BALL TEAM

The Montgomery Y. M. c. A. is ex- pecting the hardest proposition of the season tonight when the strong Mobile Y. M c. A. Quintette will be the al. traction. At least ten men will be in the Mobile party and they are coming here with the intention of mopping tip the Montgomery aggregation.
 The lineup of the Mobile team will be exactly the same as that which de- feated Montgomery by score of 51 to IS in Mobile two weeks ago. Duffy and Maiden will play the forward po- sitionsi Penny will play center and Beardslee and Martin the guards. The lineup of the Montgomery team will he Davis and Susong, forwards; Paterson. center: Hood and Washburns guards.
 If the Mobile men are able to win the game tonight they will be the undis- puted champions of the State. The Montgomery team has so far been held as the most likely aggregation in Ala bama and 1t gave Columbus a warm argument for the premier h0nnrs of the South, but the boys from Mobile, while having played but few games. consid- CT that they are worthy of considerR- tion.
 In Mobile the rooters cannot see how 1t will be possible for the Montgomery team to wina but they did not seesthe local players at their best and MobirA is apt to get a huge surprise here to- night.

 Children are torn away from the breasts of their moth CTS and sold as slaves. Slaves in the employ of their task masters are beaten to death. men. women and children are mutilated.
