20 ignore the New York Governors analysis of
his PLAN but il could not be ignored and SO after
several weeks he has been forced to take ii up

adopts the regular device Of the controversialist
whose case has been hopelessly demolished
namely z personal attack upon his adversary.
Mfr Hughes is an Eastern man. Mr.. Bryan

object Of suspicion. Can anything good come

THE CASE OF OCEAN GROVE.

The long discussed case of Ocean Grove tax
alton comes up at last to-day before the New
Jersey State Board for the Equalization of
Taxation. Technically it Is merely an appli-
cation of certain Monmouth County taxpayers
TO have the big auditorium at Ocean Grove as
sessed and taxed as is all secular property In
the county, on the ground that II Is not used
exclusively for religious purposes, but is &C.
casionally used for pay entertainments of a
more or less secular character which are
source Of profit TO its owners the Ocean Grove
Association. In fact however 1t is regarded
the beginning Of a campaign to test the per
manent validity of the charter of Ocean Grove
itself, and TO determine whether or not that
unique community is to be maintained on its
existing basis.
In the latter view the case commands wider
attention than In the former. Equalization of
taxation in Monmouth County concerns chiefly
that county. Whatever the local decision In
this one might be, there is little likelihood
that in general all churches which Occasional lily
let their property be used for semi-secular pur-
poses and for pecuniary profit would be sub
sected to ordinary taxation. II they were

ISAIAH GARRETT
 SHOOTS HIS WIFE
NEGRO AT ELYToN TOOK DESPER- ATE MEANS TO END HIS DOMES- TIC TRoUBLEs-HE ESCAPED AFTER THE SHOOTING.

In an effort to put an end to his domes the troubles, Isaiah Garrett, a negro last night put four bullets into the body of his wife, and it is hardly probable that she will recover. The affair occurred about o'clock at Titusville, Elyton, near But lers store.
 After the shooting Garrett made his es- cape and had not been located at a late hour last night. From information picked up by the officers it was thought that he might make an effort to go toward Cincinnati or Chicago and trains going to- ward these points are being watched
 Marshal Davidson of Elyton investi- gated the shooting, while the matter was also reported to the sheriff's office and officers assigned to the case. Garrett has been working at the Decatur Car Wheel Works and is described as be- ing of g. dark ginger color. with droopy or squinty eyes, while his front teeth protrude. He also has & heavy head of hair.
 Both he and his wife had been tried before Mayor Frank Smith of Elyton sev- eral times for fighting and the shooting followed a quarrel. An automatic pistol was used last night

The tearing down for the Empire build ing began yesterday.
 By September 1, 1909, this 15-story sky scraper will stand completed on the cor ner of First avenue and Twentieth street. It has numerous features which make it stand out above all others. The decora- tions from the sidewalk to the regal crown above the capitals are of the most elab- crate character. It is the only office building that covers the entire lot BOX 100 feet, having no court, being com- pact mass without a single turn in the corridors.
 It will have a mems lavatory and a. ladies retiring room on every floor, which, together with the elevators and the stairs, take up the dark side of the building. The general scheme of offices is to give the greatest possible variety to every suite so as to meet every pos sible requirement. There are Is offices on each floor reached by four modern ele- vators.
 The, building is steel frame, with brick backing and terra cotta facing, and is Birmingham's first skyscraper of this con- struction. The facing is of light gray glazed terra cotta, while the floors will also be built of hollow terra cotta blocks
 The first two stories form the base. Two marble columns, four feet in diame- ter and 30 feet high, will give the First avenue side a most imposing effect The remainder is of ornamented terra cotta tiers, with panels ornamented in low re- lief. The window decorations and panels

J. D. Collins Speaks.

J. D. Collins was the first to speak. MT. Collins said:
 ''rhe question of the adoption of the amendment for creating new counties in the state of Alabama Is one of great inn portance and seriousness. We as busi- ness people of Birmingham and Jefferson county have sat idly by and have paid no attention to this important question. It sounds very nice to talk about home rule and home government for diff ferent communities. If the new county amendment should be adopted 1t means the creating of at least 25 or 30 new coun- ties in Alabama.
 "The new county amendment, if adopt ed. means that any ambitious town or community that desires a new county. that can show that they have s1, ,000,000 of property and can carve out a new county within seven miles of courthouse, has a right to do so. This amendment does not require that the counties created should be square, but they can be shoe-string counties; in fact, the line can zigzag in the different counties simply to get 600 square miles. After the lines or towns have their 300 people in the territories that will sign a petition, asking that an election be called on the question of cre- ating a new county, then the probate Judges of the territories are forced to call an election, and only the people in the territories that are to be created new counties are permitted to take part in this election.
 Takes Away Valuable Property.
 Now, there is in Jefferson county 1040 square miles. Bessemer desires to create a new county, 1t Is said, to take off 250 square miles of Jefferson county and 3sO square miles off of Walker, Shelby, Bibb and Tuscaloosa counties. We are informed that the territory that Bessemer desires to take comes within few yards of Gres- seIli The fact of the business is, they can come within seven miles of the court house, and take off more valuable prop erty than they have already contemplated taking off The only thing they have to do is to have 600 square miles and to leave Jefferson county with only 600 square miles. With the fight that is now on. and the feeling that is being aroused, if this feeling should be carried out there is no doubt that Bessemer would strive to get every foot of territory that she can from Jefferson county and not encroach upon our constitutional rights Let us bear this in mind that only the people in the territory that is to be created new county are allowed to vote for the crea-
