Saloon AFen Surrender.

Acquainted with the fact that war rants had been issued for their arrest for violating the license ordinance, W. H. Clause and W. J. McGrath. the two saloon keepers of the restricted dis trict who have figured in print so much during the last week. owing to the disturbances in their places of this afternoon and surrendered them selves to Chief of Police Rondeau. The warrants had been sworn out by Theo- dore Guesnard, the license officer. Ac- cording to the explanation given by the police, the warrants were issued be- cause the accused were said to have failed to have taken out licenses cov- ering the period from June 15 last. Licenses issued to saloon keepers in the restricted district are issued quar- terIy only. Last evening Mayor Pat J. Lyons revoked the pool room li- censes at these places and at the same time said he would take the matter of the saloon licenses under cnsid- eration. It is understood that when the mayor started to make his inves- tigation this morning he found that the quarterly licenses for the current quarter had not been paid and that the issuance of the warrants followed. Both of the men furnished ball for
 
 on Monday morning.
 The McGraw-C Cummings incident has more nearly resulted In an open breach between the Mayor and the Police De- partment than anything which has hap pened of late. Last night the city's chief executive put in an appearance at the police station and demanded to know whether the two saloons had been closed. He found they had not. The Mayor immediately wanted to know why his orders had not been obeyed. and further asked Chief Rondeau what was the use of his ordering the ar- rest of men doing businesss without a license if they were to be allowed to sell liquor.
 he supposed all the Mayor desired was to have them arrested and held for court "I insist that these places be closed and closed immediately" the Mayor said, and forthwith one of the Chiefs lieutenants was dispatched to carry out the Mayors orders. While he was gone Mayor Lyons said he had not only ordered the arrest of these men but had sent word to the license clerk that no license should be issued to either of them. It was for this reason that when Cummings and Me- Graw shortly after their arrest ap- peared before the clerk for the pur- pose of taking out license 1t was promptly refused to them.
 Mayor Lyons informed Chief Ron deau that if the Police Department could not keep these men from selling liouor without a license then he would call upon the Sheriff's department to aid him in closing up places which he designated as dives and added that one of these in question, according to the information brought to him was the worst in the city. At s45 o'clock the lieutenant returned apd re- norted that he had closed both Cum minRs and McGraw up. instructing

Allen nenentn In.ults.

Frank Allen. Lun Stacey and Travis Stacey, three young white men. were arrested this morning and locked up in the county jail on a charge of being in a fighting affray at the Mobile Cot to Mills early today. Later Allen was released on ball. and warrant was issued for the arrest of J. c. Stacey, the father Of the two Stacey boys.
 According to the statement made by Allen. all of the parties to the fight live at Pine Grove on the outskirts of Mobile. He claims that since last Mon- day he has been subject to much an- noyance from the Stacey family and that last night this was extended to his wife.
 This morning. Allen says. he started for his work, the Stacey boys and theif father following him and hurling spi- thets at him nearly all the way. When he neared the mills. he declares, the trio following him started to say dis paraging things about his wife. where- upon he turned in his tracks and sailed into all three of them. He declares he stood for their insults as long as they were hurled at him. but against his wife he refused to stand for 1t even though he were whipped to death.
 Fortunately for Allen a deputy sheriff had been notified and arrived on the scene before he had sustained much injury.

A SPIRITED DRILL

Captain Burgess is Conxratulafea By Onicerx of Mobile on standard of Efficiency His outfif
 Has Attained.

Mobile. July 25.--fspeciai )--corpor. al Harry Groom, of the Lomax Rifies, Is proudly wearing the gold medal which pronounces him to be the best drilled man In the company. It was won oy him in the competive drill held last evening on St. Joseph Street fac- ing Bienville Square.
 The drill proved to be of great in- terest to nany spectators who so close y4y hemraed in the soldiers that at times it was hard for them to find sufficient space in which to drlli. The ranks of the Competitors were quickly thinned out on catch commands but when the ranks had been narrowed down to six men then the contest was on in earn est.
 Corporal Mask was the last man to make a stand against Corporal Groom, and for some time 1t looked as though neither would miss a command. It was a small thing that lost the medal to Corporal Mask, merely matter of carrying his right hand too far across the shoulder on the command Left shoulder arms" but it was sufficient to proclaim Corporal Groom the win ner.
 After the drill there was an informal reception at the connpany's headquar- ters to celebrate the first occasion In which their new captain has appeared with his command Tn uniform. Sapt. Guy Burgess, formerly Lieutenant of the Gulf City Guards. had only recently been elected to command the Lomax Rifles, and in that brief while he has succeeded In bringing the company up to an efficient standard.
 Congratulations to the command on their selection of captain and con gratulations to the captain on the suc- cess of his company were offered in plenty by those who wore called upon to make brief speeches. These in- cluded Capt. John S. Callahan of the Mobile Rifles, Capt Frank c. Horton of the Mobile Cadets. Lieuts. W. J. McCowan, Jr.. and Leon Schwarz, bat talion adjutants of the 1st Regiment, Lieuts. George Layet Mountain. G. c. Cooper, Sergeant Major Joseph F. Bar ter and Jack Lawes, who spoke for the press of Mobile. Fitting response was made by Captain Burgess.

 Negroes After Gin.
 Gin and plenty of 1t appears to have been the chief desire of thieves who effected an entrance to a grocery store on Royal street last evening. That they did not get away with whole quantities of the liquor was due to the fact that one of the proprietors of the store was awakened by the noise they made and started down. stairs after the intruders They heard him coming and fled, leaving on the outside of the establishment enough bottles of gin to reduce to a state of irebriety a whole negro colony. The store Is operated by Bennett Brotb- CTS and is located on Royal street be- tween St. Louis and St. Anthony streets. An entrance was effected by boring through a panel of the front door.
 Among the visitors in this city to- day were Frank Stone, the popular Baldwin county attorney from Bay Minette, and Representative Sam Jen- kinS.
