MIR. WEAR GIVES HIS
 SIDE OF DEPOT DIFFICULTY
Says He is Sorry Mr. Wilson Was In-
 voIved.

W. T. Wear. editor of The opailks News who. with Hugh Wilson, mem Der of the State Board of Convict In- spectors, was Involved in a personal difficulty with Henry and Merritt Van diver. wired yesterday from Jackson vile. Ala. a statement of his side of the dificulty.
 Messrs. Wear and Wilson were at the station to take train for Florida when the difficuity occurred. and short ly afterwards they took their train, ac- cording to original intentions. The dlff1culty grew out of series of sdi- toriais published in The opeilka News, which the Messrs. vandiver took as ln- sulting their father w. r. vandiver.
 Mir. Wear says: s%s
 "Jacksonyiils. Fla. May 2o.--ro me the most regrettable of many now re- grstted things regarding the incident at the union station Tuesday evening Is the fact that my business partner. H. M. Wilson, was made a party to the trouble. want to say emphatlcally that when Mir. Wilson assumed his pub lie duties and for some time before he turned the entire editorship and man agement of The Daily News over to me. his sole responsibility since has been a financial one. and the only possible blame for errors made by the paper since that time. if such there can be. Is in the fact that against his better judgment he continued to allow his property interests to be used and abused by partner lacking in proper judgment.
 Tn the direct matter of the trouble Tuesday, everything he would have en- deavored to peAceably prevent trouble rather than aggravAte 1t, but, It seems. he was very naturally misunderstood. l wIAh to make 1t as plain and specific as possible that from the inception and cause Of the whole trouble the blame should be a9cribed to me alone. Since tho culriinatins Incident Tuesday have diligently sought for some justi- fcation on my part In the causes of the origin of this matter and frankly ed- init can find none. A careful lock to- day In the glass that shows us nur- selves as others see does not leave me anything to be proud of.
 "Not in Justification, for I find none, but in partial explanation, l can say that actual intent to wrong or personal did not influence me. for these and others who may have the same complaint against me never gave me reason for such. It must be as- cFibed to an intentness of partisanship in everything I engaged In, perverse of disposition. not ball anced with sufficient judgment of fair for others. or even of myself. -.s
 'In reviewing myself for some. past years, this is not. the only instance, where the ntodicum of common honesty that is making Itself felt with me now condemns me. can see where have been wrong many, I fear most. times. This much now Is due myself
 What Is due my business partner who have placed in an unenviable po- sition. and what Is due MT. Vandiver. and various others who have been the target for my fiippant criticisms. and wittiest wit. whose shafts may have hurt or harmed I trust may pay In Instalifn ents in such means and meas ure as one who makes an earnest effort to get square with himself may find available from time to time.

state. They dc maintain, however. thai 1t did not of itself do the wors in- voived In the construction of the rail. way branch On the contrary it was done. they allege. by sub-contractors all of 1t, who did not have to quail fy through the Secretary of state. for doing business In Alabama. They are individuals and are not required to 60 qualify.
 The case is attracting no little at tention among the lawyers of Alabama generally because 1t is believed that the question will be definitely settled as Go whether an outside contracting corporation is doing business in Ala bana or not in case similar to that of the Talley- Bates Company. The construction company abandoned the work of the Haleyville- Corinth Railroad last July when the rupture with the Alabama Western Railroad occurred. The branch line is about eighty miles in length and afforded the link in the various lines that ulti- mately gave to the Illinois, Central . through route direct to the South Att lantic ports.

LICENSE TAX
 IS LIMITED Supreme Court Defines Interstate Commerce. PREVIOUS DECISION AFFIRMED The Case Came Up From Town of
 Prattville. Agent Was Fined for Takins orders for Delivery by company--Texas Supreme Court Has Taken
 Same View.
PREVIOUS DECISION AFFIRMED

For the second time, and in emph atic terms. the Supreme Court of Alabama yesterday spoke it's opinion of travelling salesmen taking orders for goods and the house outside the State delivering g such goods through employees located in any county of Alabama with refer 'snce to licenses imposed by certain towns and cities. Again the court holds that such sales and deliveries are interstate commerce and should not, therefore, be liable for license tax,
 The case in question was that of l.. Crum vs Town of Prattvilie, ap- pealed from the Autauga Circuit Court Crum had been fined for retailing goods. wares or merchandise within the corporate limits of the said town without having obtained a license therefor" The nature of the transac- ton with which crum was connected was reviewed by Justice Jonathan Har- alson in the opinion of the Supreme Court which he wrote
 It seems that salesman from the Omaha Grocery Company of Nebraska had collected orders procured and writ ten by them and they were sent to the company for approval. If approved. the goods as thus ordered were shipped in packages by the company to them SOANSo at LIE uEkGHQMHL had no interest in the matter except as an employe of the plaintiff who sim ply delivered the goods to the pur- chasers on the payment of the price tn erefor.
 The court reiterates its previous opin- ion in parallel case. holding that such transactions do not render the parties subject to license for retailing goods The analogy was cited in the ease of Lee vs. Intendant of Lafayette. A5 s. Rep, 29a. Also ailusion was made to the fact that the Texas Supreme Court had rendered a decision similar to that of the Alabama tribunal.
 The four cases decided yesterday by the court were as follows:
 TYSON, J.- ...s.s
 N. c. and St. L. Railway vs. John H. Wood. appeal from Marshall Circuit Court; reversed and remsnd FIARALSoN, J.--
 L. V. Crum vs. Town of Prattville, appeal from Autauga Circuit Court: reversed and rernanded.

APPLICANTS TAKE EXAMINATION
 FOR GOVERNMENT POSITION

4 civil service examination was held yesterday at the state Capitol on ac. count of the Federal Court being fin session at the present time. Mrs Ferrandini and Mir. Cutts had charge of the examination and of the clever candidates who essayed to have their names placed on the waiting list of the government service
 There were over twenty applications for the examination. but only eleven of them reported to the examiners at the capitol. It is thought that ths applicants finding the Federal court in session concluded that the exam ination had been postponed.
 The papers of the eleven candidates who took the examinations yesterday will be forwarded to the department at Washington, and the results of their efforts will be made known to them in the regular manner.

 JUDGMENT WAS FOR S25O,OOO Big Amount Involved in Franklin Suit. NOW IN SUPREME COURT illinois Central Lost In Lower
 Court. Interesting Legal Point is Involved in The Issue-auarter ef Million Fer coastruesioa work on
 The Illinois centrsi.

One of the largest judgments invoi- we'd in any case recently submitted to the Supreme Court of Alabama was argued yesterday by prominent coun- sci on both sides of the case of the Alabama Western Railroad Company vs TaIley- Bates Construction Company. The appellant Is commonly regarded as . part of the Illinois Central Railroad and ordered what is known as the Haleyviiie- -Corinth branch to be con- structed couple of years ago or more
 The appellee is the construction com pany who got the contract for building the line between the points named Last, July when 1t came to a settle- ment for work done to date by the between the parties. The extent Of the disagreement was approximately $300.000 which the railroad company denied they owed the construction company. Only about s500,000 was al- lowed for their work up to last July, and when the appellants declined to pay an extra s300.000 claimed by the contractors the latter. entered suit in the Circuit Court of Franklin County to recover the balance due The lower court awarded verdict for s25O,QOp.
 For the appellant Blewett Lee. ot Chicago, a son of General Stephen D. Lee, with associates. appeared before the Supreme Court yesterday. For the appellee. or the construction company, there appeared c. H. Trimble. of Mem. phis, and Judge Ed B. Almon. of Tus- cumbia. Both sides presented brilliant arguments which consumed practically all the time of the court yesterday from 10 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock In the afternoon.
 On account of the newness of a few points involved in the case, the jus- tices who sat in the hearing appeared to be unusually interested. The TaI- ley-Bates Construction. Company. Is a foreign corporation. The headquarters are in Memphis, Tenn. The railroad compHHy's counsel are contending that because the appellee is q foreign cor poratfon and has never qualified tosdo business in Alabama by filing a copy of it's articles. of incorporation, pay ment of licenses, etc, 1t Is thereby unable to recover the alleged debt.
 Counsel for the construction conn pany does not deny either that 1t is a foreign corporation or that it has failed to qualify for business in this

 The West End and Five Points sta tions of the fire department respond- ed promptly to the alarm and if 1t had not been for the fact that it was 6 half mile from the Burton plant to the nearest water supply the fire would have been extinguished with practi- caliy no damage.

Washington. April 2.-(Special. )-Sen-
ator Johnston says he has received quite
a number of kilograms in reference to
the resolution he introduced for the in
yestigation of the United Fruit company.
He is satisfied that it is not understood
fully and desires it to be known that
he has no feeling whatever in the mat
ter and is simply discharging a plain
duty that a reputable and well-known
firm of lawyers in New York city sent
him the pleadings and Judgment in
case pending in the United States courts
of New York city between some citi-
zens of Alabama against the company,
with the request that a resolution for IN
vestigation be introduced; that he pre-
sented the resolution and frankly gave
to the Senate a statement of the facts
as alleged in the papers, with the names
of the attorneys furnishing the same and
expressed the conviction that 4 these
statements were true some actionshould
be taken by the government
The resolution authorizes and directs
the department of commerce to in1;sti-
gate the operations of the company, see
If it is violating the laws and report to
the next session of Congress He is un-
able to see that the company can suffer
harm if it is innocent and belieres II
not that the law should be enforced
The senator said he could not oe de-
tered from discharging what he calls
plain duty to some of his constituents
by the fact that the company was doing
a large amount of business and spending
10 rga sun,s in anv city of the state. This
was doubtless the case with every OF
Tending trust and would prevent all
prosecution of illegal acts.
