BOOK MAKERS ARE
 FOUND GUILTY

New Orleans. January 1S.-Placide Frigerio and R. NJ. Sheffield. charged with operating betting book in viola ton of the Locke law, were found guilty this afternoon in the criminal district court. Conviction necessarily carries a jail sentence of not less than six months The case will be appealed to the state supreme court.
 The charges against Frigerio and Sheffield grew out of the recent test of the Locke law at the City Park race track. Ed Corrigan, one of the prin- cipal owners of the City Park track. and for a quarter of century a con- spicueus figure on the American turf, was one of the principal witnesses at the trial today Corrigan had been charged with aiding and abetting the running of the alleged book at the one race meet, which served as the test He will probably not be tried until the cases of the alleged bookmakers have been settled.

GOOD NEWS FOR
 TEXAS GOVERNOR

Austin. Tex, January Ex-Governor Campbell is especially pleased with the decision in the Waters-Pierce suit. because of the impetus he believes if will give to the trial of Henry Clay Pierce which is to come up auring the early part of March. The governor smiled when he was handed the telegram conveying the information and remarked, this is good news"
 County Attorney Brady was delighted at the outcome and said 1t was a victory oe trade competition over combination. MT. Brady fares well over this decision. The total amount of the fine imposed against the company is $1623.ooo and the fees of the county attorney. who is the only official who gets any fees is approxi- mately ss9O,0O0 He will have to divide the fees, however, with other attorneys who were employed to assist the state.
 The final outcome, however, of the ques- tion of the amount of the fees that the county attorney Is entitled to depends unon the disposition of a case now pend ing in the state supreme court The anti trust act of 1899 allows 25 per cent at tornev,s fees on the fine imposed while the act of 1903 allows 10 per cent on the first 5000 and per cent on each addi- tional 5000.
 The suit in the state supreme court which was brought on behalf of the state by District Attorney Hamilton. is to de- termine whether the county attorney can collect the % per cent allowed under the act of 1899 or the fees allowed under the act of 1903.
 Under the decision of the United States supreme court, in the receivership case, the federal receiver will be busted and the state receiver, Robert J. Eckert of Tay- Tor, who was appointed by the trial court. will take charge of the property and wind up the. affairs of the company in Texas.

SUGGESTION TO PROVIDE
 MEMORIAL FOR R. E. LEE

"On January 16 1907, wrote letter in anticipation of the tooth anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee. At that time the suggestion was made that fit- ting memorial commemorating, General Lees life and deeds should be erected by appealing to all of our people, in every section of this country, for the establish ment of such a memorial in some ed- ucational institution in the south. This day being the anniversary of his birth, I would like to ask whether steps cannot at once be taken to provide such memorial. I understand that it has been definitely concluded to place 1t at Washington and Lee university, a university endowed by Washington, and where General Lee passed in honorable service the closing years of his life, and where his body now lies. Could not your committee arrange for a meeting in Washington, or else- where, If your committee thinks it wiser, at which definite steps toward the desired end can be taken? Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

At the GaYety.

When Mollie Williams sang 'I Just Can't Make My Eyes Behave,' in her impersonation of Anna Held with the Boh- man burlesque show at the Gayety yes terday afternoon she made an even great CT hit than she did on her appearance here a year ago. The best tribute that can be paid her is to. say that she is superb. Possessed of all those things which make the successful actress-a beautiful face and eyes,. shapely. sweet voice. a graceful dancer and distrionio ability, she is all that could be desired. For burlesque she is a wonder and can compare with any star of musical comedy fame.
 James c. Morton as the straw man, and Fred Moore as the tin man, were encored repeatedly for their work These men impersonate Montgomery and Stone and they are equally as good if not better than the men they are impersonating. Moore is possessed of splendid voice and has gained the reputation of being one of the best male dancers on the stage. He broke his leg about three weeks ago and is just getting about. His work, however, was appreciated by the audi ence and he received generous applause.
 The work of Marion Moore as Rose Stahl is great her slang and way of ex- pressing it being extremely amusing Phil White as Oscar Hammerstein was espe- cialIy good, while Margaret King gave a good impersonation of Frtzi Scheff. A good looking chorus adds much to the show.
 The first act is good, but the last act is hardly up to 1t. Morton appears as an Irishman and while he makes an ex- ceptionally good one, the role of & tramp, which he affected last year, fits him too well for him to forsake it. Then Miss Williams does not appear often enough in this act.
 Fred Moore with his ten dancing dandies has a very neat sketch in the olio. The first scene shows a plantation scene with the negroes singii..y, while the next one shows a wharf scene with steamer and negro hands dancing about.
 The show is an exceptionally good one. much better than the average burlesoue and pleases greatly.

BLUE PROSPECTS
 FOR RAG WINNERS

Jackson, Miss, January 1S.-(Spe- cial. )-As yet it is by no means decided whether the city of Jackson will be represented in the Cotton States league, though the prospect has frightened somewhat. Last Friday night a mass meeting, poorly attended, was held at the county courthouse to determine the matter, but no effort was made to take up a collection. A committee was named to canvass the town for sub scriptions, and it is reported that in one day, without having hardly made a beginning, more than $500 was se cured Three times that sum is de- manded, and if it is not raised Jack son will have no professional ball next sl1rnner

At the Majestic.

Without exception the bill at the Ma jestic this week is the best all-round vaudeville show so far presented at the little Theatre Beautiful this season. There is not an act on the bill which does not come up to every requirement. and the show is thoroughly entertaining one
 The act of the wonderful Electro & Co. is beyond a doubt one of the most except ional ever presented in Birmingham. The company is composed of Electro and his sister, who are truly wizards of elec- tricity and who really make an electric current of 5000 volts their plaything and toy. They have apparatus with which +hev perform the seemingly impossible feat of passing 5000 volts of electricity through their bodies and lighting a gas jet or a piece of cloth with their finger tips and end of their tongues. Many other similar feats are performed and the act is truly remarkable.
 The great Rennee family of six mem bers is at the Majestic this week. This family was seen here last year and made a great hit. They are equally as good this year. The act is European char acter singing spectacle and every char acter is given in Its native language. The 
 William Flemen and Laura Roth pre- sent a singing and talking act of superior standard.
 The sister act of Lockwood and Bryson is a most excellent one. The young ladies give several character songs which are new and attractive. The new 'Marootch" song made a great impression last night.
 The act of the Byrne-Golson players is not fully appreciated until 1t Is finished. It presents a great surprise at the close in the way of character impersonation. Grace Golson as Tillie Tucker in a Sis Hopkins makeup is most comical. The act as a whole Is splendid.
 Rice and EImer, impersonating Chin aman and a farmer are acrobats of re- markable ability. They confine themselves to the bars but their stunts are extra ordinary. The act is an entertaining one.
 John H. Dempsey, a monologist, car ries with him a line of "salve'' that is new and amusing. His act is commend able.

She alleges that he has wasted and mismanaged the assets. and declares that some of his acts were in fraud of the rights of the estate. Among her al- legations is one that Mir. Owsley has at- tempted to sell certain real and personal property contrary to MT. Yerkes' will, which provided that the property men tioned should be transferred to a cor poration for the purpose of establishing an art gallery in New York.

eriano Quintana, a Mexican youth,

here today by Sergeant Dudley of the
mounted police. as the slayer of Sallie
Hatton. Officers working on the
case are withholding some facts in
connection with the arrest Of GUM
tana, but they claim Il stcong case
is developing against the arrested
man. Quintana at the time of the
murder of Miss Hatton, was staying
with his uncle, Bruno Chavez, in n
little house within L lev yards of the
scene of the murder. At the same
time Q%uintana had a horse secreted
in the canon where Miss Hatton was
killed, which was supposed to have
been stolen. The night of the day
of the murder Quintana disappeared,
but was recently located near Las

day and today placed in jail. He is
a small, slight youth, nineteen years

General opinion is that Quintana is
not the right man, though he may
know who the guilty one is.
