MILES HEADS THE Selected to Direct Law and Order Forces. $ PERMANENTLY ORGANIZED Each Beat Will De Represented on
 Committee.
 League Has Plans for Enforcement of
 Law Which win Be Devel-
 eped at Some Fu- 1 ture Day. '
IS PERMANENTLY ORGANIZED

George G. Miles was yesterday elect ed President of the Montgomery Law and Order League. at a meeting held at the Y. M. c. A. building.
 The formal organization of the League was completed and all officers were elected.
 general committee was provided for, on which each beat of the county will have representation. The League has definite plans for the accomplish ment of its work and these plans will be announsed later.
 The meeting yesterday was enthusi- astic. From the enthusiasm which was manifested, and from the temper of the addresses made it was evident that the organization Is going to mean some thing for the enforcement ofAlaw in the city and county.
 After devotional exercises conducted by the Religious Meetings Committee of the Y. M. c. A.. Temporary Chair man L. L. Lasseter took charge of the meeting and after forcible ad- dresses by Rev. J. M. Dannelly and w. E. McCord, representing the older and younger sets of men, which were en- thusiastically deceived, the constitu- ton and bylaws of he organization were reported by he committee which had been appointed for that purpose and vera adopted.
 Officers were elected as follows: Geo. G. Miles, President, F. P. Glass. 'Vice-President; Paul F. Dix, Secretary; M. M. Sweat. Treasurer. Brame Hood. J. L. Galloway and l.. L. Lasseter were elected members of the central com mittee which is composed of the ofii- cers and three others.
 It was decided that a committee of one member from each voting precinct in the county be appointed by the President to bring into cooperation with the League as many as possible of the citizens of the county and city, as 1t was plainly evident that it is the purpose of the organization to enlist all who stand for the enforcement of law in both county and city. This general committee will be announced at an early date, at which time pub- lIcity will be given in all probability to some of the methods which the League proposes to use in carrying on its work.

CHASED NEGRO DEsPERADO.
Phenex City's Marshal Has . Most Ex-
 citing Experience.

Phenex City's HarshaI Has Most Ex-
 citing Experience.
 Phenix City, Jan. 12-(SpeciaI.)- )-W. H. Spier marshal of this city, added another chapter yesterday afternoon to his experience with Rogers Sharp. a negro desperado, and if he was so dis posed, he could write a rather interest- ing book about the misdeeds. of that willy individual.
 Two warrants had been placed in the marshaIs hands to serve on the negro and lato yesterday afternoon, he cought sight of Sharp. The negro, who lives up to his name, began to run, when the marshal started after him. The city limits were soon passed, but this did not affect the chase, as Mar shal Spier does not stand on technical tiles when pursuing criminals, and af- ter a long race he caught his man. They started back to town, but the ne- gro decided that he would not be car- ried to jail and a desperate struggle ensued. It ended in the prisoners breaking away and the officer shot at null the trigger. Only one bullet took effect, striking the fieshy part of his leg. The negro yelled that he was killed and simultaneously doubled his speed. Henry Gibson, a white man. sprang out of a wagon to head him off. and Sharp turned to one slde' Hprang into a creek, waded through the icy water to the other side. although the. stream was waist-dsep, and at last ac- counts he was still running.
 Some time ago Sharp was under ar- rest and told the marshal that he want ed to be a model prisoner. He asked for work to do. to keep his mind em. ployed. and said he didn't mind split ling wood. The marshal got him an axe and the negro seized the first op nortunity broke his shackles with the axe and made for liberty. He was caught at 2 o'clock that night by Mar shsi Snier in a lonely house two miles mn Sthe Chattahoochee River. The ne- gro returned to jail but paid out of this troubIe. Later he was accused of steal ing a horse and buggy from prom inent citizen. but In some way evaded

Confederate veterans, of this city. He was never weary in iaboring for his comrades.
 After returning home from the war he was admitted. to the bar of the State and for time practiced his pro- fession in the ofiice of his father. Soon after he began the practice of the law to the position of Register of Chan cery, which office he filled for q pe- riod of twenty-four years under suc- cessive Chanceiiors. In all of the years in which he served his State in this capacity he discharged his duties with the greatest ability and tact, winning a large circle of friends through the State.
 On his return to Montgomery from Norfolk in 1883 he was married to Miss Rebecca Halls on December 10 of that year. He is survived by her and six children, all of whom were at the bed- side of their father at the time of his death with the exception of Lieut.. Vincent M. Fillmore, who is with his regiment. the 5th United States In- fantry. at the present time stationed at,-Plattsburg. N. Y. Lieutenant El- more has been telegraphed for and will arrive sometime on Tuesday.
 One of the peculiar incidents of the death of Major Elmore and the sum- moning of Lieutenant Elmore. Is that George Montgomery. who has been liv-' ing in the house with Major Fillmore, was only Sunday morning summoned to attendS the funeral of his father. who died suddenly of heart trouble at Toronto. Mir. Montgomery and Lieu- tenant Elmore who have lived in the same house for so many years, and who have known each other for long time, will pass each other en route each in sorrow.
 Major Elmore Is survived by his wife and six children. John A. Fillmore, United States Commissioner: Mrs. H. s. Persons. Miss Laura Fillmore, Lieut.. Vincent M. Elmore. Miss Sarah El- more and William Baldwin Fillmore. He ,is also survived by several grandchil- dren. He had q wide circle of friends for his was nature that won and retained friendship.
 Funeral arrangements have not as yet been made, the family who are in Montgomery awaiting the arrival of Lieut.. Vincent Elnore from Platts- burg. Announcement of them will be made later.

MAY ABANDON FIGHT.
Prohibition Win Probably Triumph
 Peacefully in GirmFd.

Prohibition win Probably Triumph
 Peacefully in GfrmRd.
 Girard a. Jan. i2,---(Special )--The impression is growing that the whiskey people here afs going to abandon the fight. and that henceforth prohibition will triumph peacefully and without protest in Girard.
 It is known that the refusal of Cir cuit Judge Evans to compel Probate Judge Benton to issue liquor licenses for Girard was a severe disappoint- ment to the liquor men. There was much speculation as to whether the case would be appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court. but so far no move in that direction has been made. although the prohfbition;sts have prepared themselves for surprises and are still vigilant.
 If the appeal to the Supreme Court is made, no saloons could be opened here until the ease is passed upon by that tribunal, which might be weeks, or possibly months, later. Tn the mean time the golden days of the last year are slipping away fast. from the whis- key peoples standpoint. and even if the privilege of doing business is Be- cured. after hard fight in the courts, 1t would be limited to a few months, at the most.
