DAREDEVIL AUTOIST
IN ANOTHER SMASH,
e. R. Thomas, Going Sixty Miles al
Hour, Injuries Women, Coach
man and Himself.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-In the dusk
this evening Edward r. Thomas, the
former millionaire banker, now a
bankrupt, whlIe driving his automobile
at express train speed at West End
Long Branch, added one more notch to
his stick of devil wagon accidents.
With the machine going at 60 miles an
hour he ran into. a carriage contain
ing Mrs. Hyman Cohen and her daugh-
ter Of New York and then into hy-
drant, dislocating his leg, receiving
wounds on the scalp and bruising his
face.
1t was one of the closest shaves the
daredevil autoist ever had. The report
at first was that both legs had been
crushed by the automobile and that
amputation would be necessary, result
ing finally, as was predicted, in his
death. One result was Thomas an
nouncement that he would give up au4
tomobiling. The horses drawing the
carriage were so badly injured that
they had to be shot. The coachman,
Daniel Donnelly, had his collar bone
fractured. The women, one of whom
jumped, were slightly injured.
Several years ago Thomas ran over
and killed little boy who was play
ing in the street, but instead of aban-
doning his auto speeding, he has since
been repeatedly fined in the police
court for scorching through the thick
ly populated streets.

MARKING FACTION OF ORGANIZED
 BASEBALL MAKES THREAT.
There is . Likelihood of Another Major or Near Major League CombIna- ton Consisting of the Bolt
 ing Leagues.

Chicago Nov. 12.-The warning fac- tions of organized baseball retreated today with victory perched on neither banner.
 Pat" Powers. president of the East ern League. and Joe" OBrien. presi- dent of the American Association. who bolted the meeting of the National As- sociation of Professional Baseball Clubs yesterday. departed on early trains. The so-called regulars of other and more numerous leagues belonging to the national organization, held a brief session and adjourned without fixing date for their next meeting at Memphis, Tenn. It probably will be held early in the new year.
 Garry Hermann, president of the National Commission, was unable to respond to. telegram from the two other members of the commission to come to Chicago. and Mir. Pulliam ac- cordingly took train for Cincinnati
 A Survey of the deserted field showed that while disputed issues may still be adjusted, the method by which this may be brought about Is obscure. Both nnaiterabie stand. and unless one of them weakens, students of baseball politics declare there Is likelihood of sn0fass ,njo Sr near major S he;nFne leagues. It is said the national com mission will go almost any length to avoid this, as the D01Jing leagues con situte almost the only market for play CTS whom the American and National leagues wish to dispose of That the American Association and Eastern League are in deadly earnest is said to be indicated by the disposal by George Tebau, of the Denver club. Tebau also owns the Manassas City and Louisville clubs of the American Asso- ciation, and the sale of the Denver property is said to have been to avoid the embarrassment of owning a team in the Western League while running two teams i'm an "outlaw" organization. Tn the event of secession, it Is re- garded as practically certain that the "outlaws"' would put teams in major league territory. probably Cincinnati, St. Louis, Pittsburg and Chicago.
 ray of hope was discovered in the statement made by President Powers to the meeting of the national association that he favored organized baseball. But, his leaning in that direction, like that of prohibition, Is not susficiently strong to keep him in the organization unless his demands are met-namely, control of the board of arbitration and the privilege Of drafting from the Southern and Western leagues. It is claimed that these leagues got them selves into a higher class by using 2 school census. instead of the Federal enumeration. in estimating the popula- tion to which they exhibited the na- tional game.

Licenses To Be Raised To Pay For
 Prohibition.
 Selma, Nov. 12.-(Special. )--The regularly monthly session of the city council was held tonight.
 The principal business was the tn- troduction of new, license schedule which will become effective January l, 1909. In the new schedule the license of every business in the city is raised
 This increases in licenses is made to make up the deficiency in revenue which the city has in past years de- rived from saloons. The passage. of this schedule was postponed until the next meeting.
 A second ordinance providing for property owners making all necessary water, gas storm and sanitary sewer age connections preparatory to the paving of the streets of the city was also passed.
 In his recommendations Mayor Att ktns asked for the appointment of a special committee to work in conjunc- tion with the waterworls commission to get the Southeastern Tariff Assocla- ton to remove the ten cent defiency tax the Tariff Association having sometime ago formulated and submit ted a plan for this tax to be taken off. All of Mayor Atkinss recommendations were adopted.

ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS Is STILL UNSETTLED
DISCUSSED AT HEARING ON TARIFF
 REVISION.
Wave of Prohibition Which Has Spread Over Country Has Had Little Influence on Consumption
 of LfquOfs.

Washington. Nov. 12.-The wave of prohibition, which. 1t is said, has spread over the country. apparently has had little influence on the consumption of alcoholic liquors and spirituous drinks. according to evidence brought out at today's hearing on the proposed tariff revision before the House Committee on Ways and Means.
 It was apparent, too, that the liquor interests are. on the whole. well satis- ned with the present tariff on spirits, wines and other beverages. as the wine growers and importers were prac- ticalIy the only interests represented at today's hearing.
 The morning session was enltvened by sharp but good natured. col- loquy, between Percy T. Morgan, repre- sentinE the wine growing interests of California. and Representative Boutelle of Illinois. Mir. Morgan was telling the committee why the regulations of the DingIey tariff covering the importation of still wines should also apply to those wines imported from countries with which the United States has reel procity treaties. Answering MT. Bou- telle. Mir. Morgan said:
 My contention Is that wines can be imported under the present reciprocity arrangerhents up to 24 cer. cent, which is forty-eight proof, while the whiskey J0u yOAEGGAkf 0NtHAf lA V4AAS Se RASC@% The whiskey |, drink Is not any proof" was Mir. Boutelle's quick re- pjoinder; q never take any"
 Mir. Morgan claimed that under the present reciprocity treaties with the principal wine producing countries, Rl- eohol diluted with wine could be im- ported instead of wine diluted with al- cohol.
 Champ Clark. prominently spoken of as the successor Of John Sharp WLl- Hams as minority leader on the floor of the House, was present for the first time at the hearings as a member of the committee. #
 W. E.. Hildreth of New York. a champagne expert. declared that the cost of making American wines was much greater. than that of producing French wines and champagnes. He was telling the committee that Ameri- cans only pay for the French labels wh en MT. Clark remarked, There are not a thousand men in the United States who after they have had three drinks, can tell what they are drink Ing."
 |. ]. Vance of New York. secretary of the American Wine Growers As- sociation, declared that the reciprocity treaties gave the importers of foriegn oh ampaxnea a reduction of e2 per case in the duty and that these importers use the s3 thus saved for the purpose of advertising and keeping a trade which the American wine makers pos1 sibly could get if they had similar amount to spend for that purpose.
 He also asked for an increase of the duties on mineral waters to meet the high tariffs of foreign countries.
 c. H.. King and John H. Wheeler Of New York argued for a decrease in the duties on ale, porter and beer, and declared that as a result imported ale and stout would be cheaper to the consumer.

Jefferson County May soen Pay In

 Birmingham, Nov. 12--(Special)-- Scrip buying at the court house will soon be a thing of the past Within very few months, according to Audi tor Robert A. Morris. the county will be in a position to pay witnesses off the moment certificates are issued to them.
 Tn his yearly report just completed Auditor Morris calls attention to the condition of the fine and forfeiture fund
 saThe fine and forfeiture fund Is to- day in better condition than 1t has been at any time during my incum- bency as auditor" said Auditor Nor ris, in his report. ''More claims have been paid which were outstanding against this fund than during any year during that period. The record was broken in 1907 when claims to the amount of S57,Se9.5s were paid. Dur ing the twelve months ending on sep- ten1ber 30, s71.212.79 was expended in paying claims"
 During the past year the statement of the auditor showing receipts conn pared shows that there was an tn- crease of S1s,854.23 in the collection of money for the fine and forfeiture fund. During 1907 the total collection was se0,233.5S. During the past year the total receipts amounted to s7s.- 0ST.e2. t'
 Auditor Morris Is of the opinion that every outstanding claim will have been paid before six months have pass ed and that witnesses after tnat will get their money dollar for dollar. At the present time and for years past the witnesses in most cases have reiln- quished their papers to scrip buyers who paid them anywhere from twenty five to sixty cents on the dollar. oc- casionally more would be paid. es- pecially when there was competition.

OvERRULES LAWYER
PROHIBITION CASE ON TRIAL IN
 BIRMINGHAM.
Attorney Strikes At The Act But Court TdrnE Him Down--Law And I
 Order League Helps

Birmingham, Nov. 12.-(Speciai)-- Judge Samuel L. Weaver overruled all motions and demurrers of the attorney in the case of Fred Krelhause, charged with violating the prohibition law. and Krellhause was placed on trial before a jury in the criminal court this morn ing.
 Owing to the many new points brought out it is said the case will undoubtedly go to the Supreme Court in the event the defendant is convicted.
 The attorney attacked the validity of the prohibition law onsconstitutional grounds and went so far as to say that certain portions of the prohibit tion law are in violation of the four teenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States. He declared that the City of Birmingham has not the right to adopt any ordinance having prospective effect and declared that the act creating the police court or Birmingham is in conflict with the Constitution. He also contended that the police of Birmingham have no right to make arrests outside of the city limits. although they claim to have jurisdiction three miles from the limits over territory not incorporated.
 The only point gained by the at torney was his contention for trial by a jury and this was granted Tues day.
 When the case came up at o'clock Wednesday afternoon he made mo- fion to quash the case and set forth the various reasons which were argued all the afternoon and again Thursday morning.
 Attorneys for the city took the op-, polite position. Mir. Hamin appeared for the Law and Order League and Mr. smith for the city, the case being appealed from the police court where Krellhause was convicted and fined s100 and sentenced to lso days on the streets.
 After Judge Weaver had overruled all motions and demurrers the first witness was called. A. Lynch testi- fled that he went to KrelIhauses place on Thirteenth street, between Avenues B and c, last June and purchased half a pint of whisxey and two bottles of beer from clerk.
 <J. c, Spencer testified that he was with Mir. Lynch when the purchase was made and both witnesses told of the house and its surroundings.
 Attorney for the defendant wanted to exclude the testimony on the ground that such evidence is illegal because it is contrary to the public feeling to obtain evidence in that way. He made the point that the money was furnished by the Law and Order League.

 County For Man.
 Birmingham. Nov, 12-(SpeciaD- After searching all over the county for Walter Smith, said. to be wanted in Knoxville, Tenn. on a charge of as- sault with a pistol, the man was locat- eJ in the county jail today. The jail record has him down under the name of Will Thomas and he Is charged with the murder of a negro during the strike, according to Deputy Sheriff George Cousson. who worked up the case
 Some time ago the sheriff received a telegram asking about Smith and later letter was received giving a description. Little dreaming that the man was just across the alley in the jail, the letters were turned over to Deputy Cousson, who went to work and followed every trail until he final ly landed at the jail door. where he asked for Thomas. who denied that he had ever been in Knoxville. The deputy made examination and found the marks spoken of in the letter and the man is said to have then admitted that he was wanted In Knoxville.
 He says he is anxious to go back and that a requisition will not be necessary if he gets out of the trouble here.
