FILE THEIR EMBLEM DELEGATES GALORE
INDEPENDENCE PARTY WILL EN-
 TER ALABAMA FIELD.
One Hundred and Fifty Copies of the Emblem Filed With Secretary of stnte--Hand Holding
 Scales Balanced.

That the Independence Party will en- ter the Alabama political field in earn est during the coming campaign was indicated yesterday by the filing with the Secretary of State of copies of the party's emblem and the I50 copies re- quired by law to be filed were pre- pared by M. NJ. Howard, the leading representative of the party in this State, and erstwhile Congressman from the Seventh District.
 It Is the first time that the Independ- ence Party has formally entered the Alabama fiield. Notice was given also by Mir. Howard that afidavits giving the names of the party nominees for President and Vice-President will be sent to the Secretary of State shortly. These are Thos. l.. Hisgen and John Temple Graves.
 The Independence emblem is the fourth to be fled. The others are the emb1ems of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and the Socialists.
 The Independence Party emblem Is simple, consisting of a human hand holding the scales evenly balanced.
 The filling of the field with new par ties this year means added work for the clerical force of the Secretary of State in the matter of counting votes when returns are made for him for canvass. But the force is preparing for extra work along this line. as there has been an overwhelming increase on other scores during the past year.
 The parties whose nominees have been certified to the Secretary of State are the Democratic, the two contend- ing wings of the Republicans and the Socialists.

MIR. REEVES STRICKEN.

Eufaula, Sept. 1.-(special.l l-David Reeves, a young white man, is seri- ously i'll at the St. Julian Hotel here where he is suffering from a stroke of paralysis.
 Mir. Reeves was standing in front of the mifror combing his hair when the attack came upon him and he fell helplessly to the floor. Throughout nearly all of yesterday he was speech less and his condition ib critical.
 Mir. Reeves is the young son of the late Rev. ". M. Reeves of this place, and was born and reared here. where he has scores of warm friends.
 His condition has been regarded too serious to permit his being removed and all that medical skill can do is being administered.
 Information of the serious illness of Charley Stewart. prominent and in- fluential citizen of the county, who resides near White Oak, has been re- ceived here. Mr. Stewart is suffer ing from the effects of two conges- tive chills that afflicted him a few days ago.
 Mir. Stewart is sixty-eight years old. an honored veteran of the war. and is widely known and universally es- teemed.
 It has also been learned that Mrs. John Stewart of that locality is also critically i'll and the worst Is feared at any hour.

 The militia are still on duty about Birmingham. It Is likely that formal order of withdrawal of the troops will be forthcoming fin the next day or two. Adjutant General Bibb Graves. when seen yesterday afternoon late said he knew nothing definite of the time the soldiers are to leave for their homes.
 Another development in regard to the States funds yesterday was that the s110,000 annual appropriation for the sustenance of States prisoners in county jails has nearly been exhausted. There is nothing alarming about this. however. as only thirty days will eiapse before the fund for next year will be available. The record for the number of prisoners this year is expected to surpass the number for the year pre- vious. This will be due. if to any thing particular. to the more rigid enforcement of laws set in motion by the last Legislature.

Interstate Commerce Must Not Be Stopped. TEMPORARY ORDER IS OF
 IMPORTANCE TO STATE VIII Not Permit Arrests of the
 Draymen. Order Reanirms Law Laid Down by Supreme Court That Interstate Commerce Extends its Pro- tsction Until Goods are
 Delivered to Con-
 signee.

Judge Thomas c. Jones of the United States Circuit court of the Middle ana Northern District of Alabama. yester- day granted temporary restraining order forbidding an inferior court, or for that matter a higher court, from interfering with interstate commerce shipments. in punishing persons who move from depot articles protected by interstate commerce. The granting of the injunction Is the direct outcome of the decision of Judge N. B. Feagin of the inferior court of Birmingham that a shipment of beer contracted TOT by private persons in Birmingham could not be taken from the depot by either an agent of the brewing company or by an agent of the buyer. Judge Fea- gin held that the protection of inter state commerce extended only to the arrival of the goods at the depot.
 Judge Jones was notified on Monday morning that Walker Percy. a promi- nent lawyer of Birmingham. desired hearing upon an important matter, but no other intimaton of the subject of the hearing was gwen out Judge Jones granted the hearing and imme- diately after the arrival of the morn ing train from Birmingham yesterday MT. Percy. accompanied by Attorney Hafniii. made his appearance in the federal court rooms.
 Judge Jones dd not hear the argu- ments of the two attorneys in the court room, but an informal discus sion was indulged in by the three in the judges private office.
 Mir Percy presented the case from the standpoint of the brewers and buyers. while MT. Hamill argued in support of Judge Feagin,s decision.
 Mir. Percy stated his case. saying that the Lemp Brewing Company of St Louis. Missouri had contracted with various persons in Birmingham for a ksg containing so many bottles of beer The bills of lading of the keg were made out separately and person. ally to the buyers. and the shipment was made to the residence of the buyer. In order to complete the whole con- tract. a local transfer man of Birm- ingham had been contracted with to unload the kegs from the cars in the freight yards. and deliver each con- signment to the buyer

 Pay Applications.
 The "Fogie Pay" for the soldier boys won't go. At least the Attorney Gen. erai, Hon. Alex M. Garber. makes such a ruling. He concurs with the action of State Examiner H. Y. Brooke. of Public Accounts. who de- clined to 70. K" claims for the "Fogie Pay" made by some of the soldiers on strike duty nt Birmingham.
 As has been explained, the shekels which the men in active service are seeking under the name mentioned are claimed by construing an act of the Alabama Legislature together with an act of Congress. The one provides that while in the active service of the State engaged in the enforcement of laws, commissioned officers shall re- ceive half pay of officers of the same rank in the United States regular army and other offieers and privates receive double the amount of correspondinE regular soldiers.
 The men claiming 'Fogie" money would have tf$s law read in connection with the act of Congress providing that after each i've years service of- fcers of the regular army of the uni- ted States are entitled to ten per centum of the amount which they have been receiving per annum. This was a reward for constancy and patriot ism. The Alabama soldier who has been in the service of the National Guard for five years is entitled to the regular pay of a United States soldier and 1t is asked why they are not en- titled to extraordinary pay ike the latter.
 The Attorney General made care full examination of the two acts. lie could see no reason for invoking the Congressional act to apply to Alabama soldiers. He, therefore, addressed an answer yesterday to the Ad1utans Geh- sn- eral advising that the State decline to issue warrants for "Fogie Pay"
