IS CHARGED WITH
MURDER In MINES
GEORGE GODDARD, A WHITE MAN,
is SAID TO HAVE KILLED A MAN
NAMED RoLLINs-eoDARD DE-
MES THE CHARGE.

George GODDARD, a white man, was
locked up in the county jail last night on
a charge of murder, it being alleged that
he killed another white man named Rol-
Inns while the two were working together
in Pratt mines last Friday.
1t seems that GODDARD was sent to Pratt
mines about eight months ago to serve
a 20 months sentence for violating the
revenue law, and was serving in the
mines in the capacity of weighing boss.
Rollins, it is understood had been in the
mines for about two weeks and was a
coal digger.
From the Information at hand the two
men are alleged to have got into a fight
about something, and Rollins was killed.
Upon an investigation Coroner Paris
found testimony on which he saw fit
to hold GODDARD. GODDARD, who is a man
of good appearance, fatty denies having
killed Rollins.
The deceased man, it is understood
lived at Hehin, Ala, and GODDARD is from
South Alabama. Deputy Sheriff C. T,
Helton went to Pratt City after GODDARD
late yesterday afternoon and he was
committed to jail on a warrant sworn out
before Judge II. B. Alternately without
bail.

.FEAG|N PASSES ON
PROHIBITION LAWS
Finds E. w. Jones Violated
Three Different Laws
GETS 500 AND 1870 DAYS
Judge Holds 1t Is Illegal For One Man
To Give a Drink To Another
Except In Private
Residence.
GETS 500 AND 1870 DAYS

Judge Feagin has passed on the prohl-
bition laws. Yesterday when he gave E
w. Jones the limit of the law for running
a blind tiger he declared that the fine
The pas- was full of good music and
The judg, Ids that under the statu-
tory prohibi m law it is illegal for one
man to givg a drink to another except
In a private residence.
If the Birmingham police enforce this
ruling there will be no drinking in clubs
or anywhere else except in the home.
Certainly, if they insist in getting dead
drunk and are hauled before the police
court they will get s25 instead of the GUS
tomary s. as that was the dose admin
istered to two negroes yesterday
The three reasons for which Judge Fea-
gin gave Jones 800 and 1870 days were, that
he violated the city code, Section As,
which prohibits the giving away of whis-
ky on Sunday, that he violated the local
option law which provides that no man
shall sell, give away or dispose of whis-
ky in any manner and that he violated
the state prohibition law which provides
that "it shall be unlawful for any person,
HTnl OF corporation OF dSSOcldtlOu Nltuili
the state to manufacture, sell, barter, ex-
change, give away to induce trade, fur
nish at public places or otherwise dispose
of any alcoholic, spurious, vinous, or malt
liquors, intoxicating bitters or beverages
was assessed on three different counts.
or other liquors or beverages by whatso-
cess will produce intoxication, except as
hereinafter provided.
Section r. That the provisions of this
act shall not prohibit the social serving
of liquors and beverages mentioned in
this act in private residences in ordinary
social intercourse
One hundred and eighty days in the
changing is not a very inviting example
to set out before the blind tigers. Many
of them may take to their heels as re-
suit.
Judge Feagin turned Frederick, the man
who bought the whisky, loose, stating
that there was no law against him.

TWO KILLED BY
DYNAMITE CHARGE
j. G. WELSH AND NEGRO LABoRER
WENT BACK TO EXAMINE A
GO OFF.

Joseph G. Welsh, foreman of the con-
struction gang on the Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic railroad at Elvira, and
a negro laborer, we're accidentally killed
yesterday afternoon while blasting in the
roadbed of the track now being con-
structed.
From the information at hand it seems
that hole had been loaded with a light
charge of dynamite with the view of
loosening UP the rock. The fuse was
lighted and the men went away, but
when the shot failed to fire Welsh and
the negro, whose name could not be as
certained, went back to where the shot
had been set.
The men, it is understood, decided to
put a heavier load in the hale and were
in the act Of doing SO when Die dynamite
already in the hole went off, killing both
Welsh and the negro.
Both bodies were badly mangled. The
remains of Welsh were brought to Biz
mingham to be prepared for burial. The
body is being held in the morgue of Lige
10y until funeral arrangements can be
made. The deceased man was a member
of the Red Men and the Eagles.

BEATTY KILLED BY
TRUSSVILLE TRAIN
WHITE MAN WAS ATTEMPTING TO
CROSS THE TRACKS AND 1T is
THOUGHT HE WAS UNAWARE
OF IMPENDING DANGER.

William Robert Beatty, white man
about So years old was fatally injured
yesterday morning by an Alabama Great
Southern train at Trussville
1t is understood that Beatty attempted
to cross the railroad track In front of
the approaching train, and it is thought
that he was unaware of the impending
danger. The engine struck him squarely
and his body was badly crushed.
The unfortunate man was hurried to
Birmingham for medical attention, but
he was fatally wounded. Lige Logs am
bulance met the train and Beatty was

to save his life, but he died few hours
after reaching the infrmary

START NIGHT SCHOOL.
Is To Be For Benefit of Those Seeking
An English Education.

The Birmingham Educational alliance,
an association organized for the educa-
ton of those who for any reason nave
been denied the proper educational train
ing, especially in the English language,
has resumed it's night instruction. Ar
rangements have been made for larger

ton, and whose salary is so small that
he cannot afford to pay private tutors
or attend paid night schools. Three nights
of eachweek will be devoted to the class
es, the first class this week assembling
tonight at S:15 o'clock and continuing
until 10 o'clock.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
Your article in this mornings issue
as to alleged raid on the Woodlawn

Local Option Lah To BE
Tested BY Local Firm

On behalf of Ben Meyer of the firm of
Meyer-Marx company, who conducted a
wholesale whisky establishment on First
avenue and Eight centh street prior to the
closing of saloons on January l, applca-
ton for a liquor license in Jefferson
county has been made to Probate Judge
s. e. Greene. The application, which
was signed by thirty of the most prom
inent citizens of Birmingham, was pre-
scented to Judge Greene yesterday morn
ing, who, after satisfying himself that
the papers were legal and that all the
legal forms had been complied with, re-
fused to issue the license.
The steps taken yesterday morning are
the first toward the testing of the consti-
tutionality of the local option law. Ac-
companying the requisite petition there
was s575 in money, the amount formerly
charged for whisky licenses as a county
and state revenue. Judge Greene refused
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-01-07

to issue the license requested on the
ground that the legislature of Alabama
had enacted a local option law under
which an election was held in Jefferson
county and by vote the people of the
county said they did not want saloons
after January l.
Attorneys Tillman, Morrow, Bradley
and Grubb it is understood, are repre-
senting the petitioner 1t is stated that
the petition was fled simply to start
a test case. Nothing was expected in the
decision of the lower court, the step be-
ing taken simply as a means of getting
the case to the supreme court.
1t is understood that the proposed suit
will be in the nature of mandamus pro-
ceedings seeking to compel Judge Greene
to issue the license. 1t is said that the
case will be, carried Immediately to the
supreme court. 1t will in all probability
be filed today.
