FINED $40 FOR BEATING
ONE OF HIS CUSTOMERS
Prosecuting Attorney Tells How Ger
tain Glass of Merchants Work
Film FIam Game on
Foreigners

Charged with battery H. w. Blum
was arraigned in Police Justice Roses
court yesterday and fined $40.
Blum is a clerk employed in Maiden
berg Bros clothing store, 250 South
Main street. He is alleged to have
beaten T. Makazura, a japanese who
refused to take and pay for more
goods than he had purchased.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ford,
who issued the complaint against
Blum, said:
when a Japanese or some other
foreigner who has but slight knowl-
edge of the English language enters a
store of this character he Is usually
made a victim. The common method
is to have the customer examine about
twice as much clothing or other ar
ticles as he wants. Then the clerk
wraps up everything and hands 1t to
the purchaser. who only tenders money
for what he really bougth.
"The clerk gets indignant and tells
the victim to go and get the balance
of the money and holds the amount
paid as deposit. If the purchaser re-
turns with more money, he gets the
goods, otherwise he loses the deposit.
If the victim protests he is thrown
out of the store"

Crawford made statement and says
he is a. victim of mistakes Inc po-
lice, however, are skepticai.
II sold my automobile and gave tne
money to my former mother-ln-laW,
Mrs. A. H. Day, to keep for me, salo
Crawford. II thought she wouio oe-

the check, as she said she would 90.
"I will get out all right. My rather

A telegram from Worcester, Mass,
stating that he has a wife there and
that there was criminal indictment
against him, was shown to CRAWFORD
He denied there was anything to It.
"I married Ida Foster Day. an Eng

Detroit, Mich, three months later.
That is what the message refers to"

ford told them that Mrs. Gustave
Figge was his mother-in-law, and this
has caused another mixup in Craw-
ford's troubles. Figge is manager OF
the Wonderland theater, 315 south
Main street. Crawford often visited
the theater and became acquainted
with Figge and his family.
"Crawford showed us letters and pa
pers and led us to believe he was all

"If he ever gets out of Jail I will
give him beating that he will re-

Crawford said he never said Mrs.
Figge was his mother-in-law, and says
he does not blame Figge for wanting
to whip him.
The detectives say Crawford has
borrowed money from several persons
that he owes for the hire of the rig
in which he took the Figge family to
see the furnished houses, and that he
also pawned his overcoat and watch.
They do not believe he gets money

MACHINE TO RULE
PRECINCT CAUCUSES
OILED PROGRAM WILL NOT BE
INTERRUPTED
Nearly One Thousand Delegates Nec-
essary to Choose 1903 Candidates
Before the Primaries.
Where They Meet

Without the participation of the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republicans the
Republican caucuses will be held in
every precinct in the city and county
tonight to select delegates to the dis
trict caucuses which are to meet Sat
urday at l o'clock at places designated
in each of the assembly districts.
In these precinct caucuses Walter
Parker and the railroad bureau manip-
ulators are to have their plans COM
pleted without interruption by the
"long-haired" and "bolters," as the
valiant league members are variously
styled.
The program is for each precinct to
select it's delegates to the district
caucuses which in turn will select the
candidates for district delegate to the
state convention to be voted for at the
general primary next Tuesday. The
league hosts have cut across the lot
by ignoring the caucuses and announc-
ing their tickets direct, through the
various club organizations, and thus
evading the necessity for precinct and
district contests
In all the precincts of Los Angeles,
Pasadena and the precincts outside of
either there will be elected $40 pre-
cinct delegates, who are to select the
103 delegates to the state convention.
The machine work has been done
quietly and effectively in the districts,
there being little concentration
through the central committee. No
tices of the caucuses have been posted
in various places in the precincts by
the committeeman. The organization
has been just as careful as if the
league intended to invade the caucuses
and upset the plans.
Arrangements have been made by
Chairman Lee and Secretary Peter
michel of the Republican committee to
receive the returns at the rooms of
the Republican league, 1929 South
Spring street tonight.
Where They Will Meet
The places for holding the district
caucuses Saturday in Los Angeles and
Pasadena, together with the number
of precinct delegates and the number
of candidates to be chosen follow:

CONTEST ON FOR MONEY
LEFT BY MURDERED MAN
Petition Filed for Letters of Adminis-
tration of Estate of Police
man Lyons, Slain by
Robher

Public Administrator Bryson yester-
day filed in the probate court a petit
ton for letters of administration OF
the estate of Patrick II. Lyons, the
policeman who was shot and killed
by Daniel F. Meskil, a footpad, on the
night of November 80 last.
This petition is in contest with the
one filed several weeks ago by Mrs
Anna Munson, mother of Lyons, who
lives in Brashear Falls, N. Y, in
which she asked that Henry Hart be
appointed administrator.
Bryson takes the ground that per-
son living outside the state cannot
nominate the administrator. Lyons
estate consists of about $500 in a
savings bank. The hearing will take

COMMISSION MEETS
ROUTINE MATTERS WILL COMMAND
 ATTENTION.
May be a Decision on Reheartng or old Case Regarding Mark
 ing Flower and Meal Sacikss

Formallty and grief incident to the general election being over and par tially forgotten respectively, the Alabama Railroad Commission VIII meet today one week later than the date set by law. It Is the regular monthly session of that body and matters mostly of routine will occupy the attention of its members.
 Nothing has been heard that will prevent the attendance of President Charles Henderson and Assoiciate tComma ssiOners W. D. Nesbitt and John A. Lusk.
 About the only cases known to be pending before the Commission are the complaint of the Farmers EduSa- tional and Cooperative Union. which has been under consideration for sever al months and the matter of marking flower and meal in sacks.
 This latter case has probably ab- sorbed more time of the Commission and the railroad officials for that mat ter than any other regulating problems that has come up In a long period. This time 1t is rehearing, the railroads having won the decision on the hrst complaint. The petition os from the Birmingham Wholesale Grocers As- sociation and their fight to evade mark ing flour and meal sacks with the names Qt Lnb COHStkACS tho NOShA- nation has been a stubborn one.
 At first the Commission fatly re- fused to allow a suspension of the marking rule in favor of the Birming- ham shippers. It seemed to be case of measuring the relative cost to the shippers and the railroads occasiene1 by having to mark the commodities or fail to mark them. The cost to the railroads by increased claims for mis- shipments seemed on first hearing to outweigh the expense to shippers of marking This and other considera- tIons led the Commission to deny the petition.
 At the last monthly meeting of the Commission, however, the matter was reopened and additional evidence was presented by the flour manufacturers of Birmingham, those of other cities being satisfied seemingly by the mark ing rule for the purpose of persuading the Commission that the marking was a greater hardship than was imagined.

TO MEET
ASSOCIATION HOLDS MONTHLY, |,
 SESSION TUESDAY.
First Gathering of Alahama-West Florida Lumber Manufacturers Since EIeetion-Pr0speets of
 Trade

Tuesday noon will bring the lum- bermen to Montgomery for the regular monthly meeting of the Alabama VI est Florida Lumber ManufactuFers' Asso- ciation. The last meeting was held in Birmingham and in accordance with a section of the constitution of the As- sociatton 1t is to meet every other month in the capital city of baHa. Local lumbermen will be the hosts this time. sTs-
 What definite will come up for con sideration tomorrow is not known, but there will be plenty to keep the members busy. The Association is in healthy condition, shows signs every month of rapid growth and though 1t actually comprises a small minority of the manufacturers of the State the numbers do not interfere with the earnest and profitable discussions and action of the organization.
 Of course. the ever present question of cost may engage the association in discussion again. The opinion of the members on the future trade after the election will be interesting. Like the cotton grower like the corn planter, like every business man of high and low station, the lumberman was ex- cecdingly curious to feel the pulse of the consuming world directly after the American people decided on their ex- ecutive for the span of four years.
 That lumber prices are expected to hold their own in the future is the concensus of opinion among the lum- bermen in or out of the Association. They are encouraged by the gradual advance of prices in the last several months. just since the panic begun to loose its grip or commerce. They have been encouraged by steady de- mand and periodical if not regular in- quiry waves.
 Industrial activity. heralded and chronicled in the newspapers, means undoubtedly increased consumption of lumber and timber The demand may stiffen considerably in the next month or so. Timber is already maintaining fine level about 25 cents per cubic foot. The mills are still cutting full time Orders are piling up according to reports from the yellow pine sec- tion of South Alabama and West Flor ida.
 President Hughes and Secretary Ed dy will probably be on hand to-mor- row with a good attendance. The ses- sions of the Association will probably be held in rooms of the Exchange Ho- tel.
