TON, TO BE TRIED OCT. IS.
Held Up Pending Action by Grand
Jury in Assault to Murder
Charge.

W. H. Clanton and Policeman Ham
mond appeared before Recorder Baber
yesterday to answer to charges of as
sault and battery. as q result of an ar
fray last Tuesday night wherein Clan
ton is said to have received a severe
beating at the hands of Hammond.
After several minutes of rather heat
cd arguments between the attorneys, 1t
was ordered that the cases be set down
for trial on October 10 and an agree
ment was entered into between the
lawyers that should the grand jury In
the meantime return indictments
against Hammond and Cloud charging
assault with intent to murder" the
cases against them in the Recorders
Court should be dismissed; but II the
grand Jury return indictments for "as-
sault and battery" then the cases are
to be tried before the Recorder.
1t was. brought out In the argument
Of the prosecution that Hammond used
a revolver as a club in his alleged at
tack on Clanton.
The city and Clanton will both. 1t is
said seek to convict Hammond of as
sault with intent to murder. and 1t was
with that end In view that the lesser
charges were sought to be dismissed
yesterday.
Charges against Hammond will be
heard before the Police Commission to-
day. He Is under temporary suspen-
sion from the force.

conceding some of the demands made
by the Chicago grain mel for changes
In the grain grading draft adopted At
the st. Louis convention last year. the
grain men have finally adopted uniform
grading for corn, oats. barley and rye,
and adopted the Kansas city. chicago
and Southwestern market grades milo
maize and kaffir corn. They also maze
later concessions by granting part OF
In wheat tests.
There were. however. nve demapds
made by the Chicago grain men Tor
changes In wheat gradinEs that were
not granted. steps were taken to
bring an agreement on those i've points
of difference by the authorization of a
strong committee Of five, which will
call a conference. with the Illinois,
Minnesota. Missouri and Kansas State
Commissions. and prominent Boards Of
Trade At this meeting an effort will
be made to get an agreement on these
ave grades Of wheat.
The first of the refusals was the de-
mand of the Chicago grain men to
raise the test weight of No. white
winter wheat from fifty-six to fifty
seven pounds. Another denial was Of
the demand that No. Q. 8 and hard
winter wheat may contain a maximum
of rs per cent red winter wheat.
The convention refused to raise the
test weight Of No. hard spring wheat
from ffty-eight to fifty-nine pounds.
and No. northern spring wheat from
hfty-seven to flfty-seven and one-half
pounds.
The convention indicated that 1t
would grant an additional one pound
to the test weights of velvet chaff wheat
grades, but refused to accede to the
demands of the Chicago men to raise
the weight test approximately three
pounds.
The convention conceded the de-
mands of the Chicago men for the use
Of the word new" as now used in lie
linois rules. and also granted changes
demanded in red winter. No. spring.

DON'T LIKE DISCOUNT
OBJECTIONS TO LOAN WITH INTER-
EST TAKEN OUT.
Street Improvement Plans Still Hang
Ffre-Believed That Mayor Dis
proves Plans for
IOanR

The street Improvement work provid-
ed for In the recently annulled $4,000
bond issue has become a source of
worry to the city fathers OF Montgom-
cry. The people on the streets sought
to be improved want the work done; the
city fathers want to do II for them.
but at every move something inter-
feres to delay.
At the meeting of the City Council
last Monday night resolutions were
passed empowering Mayor league to
use the credit of the city to obtain
a temporary loan. of $4,000 for the
work.
1t is now said that the plans and
terms of the proposed temporary loan
do not meet with the approval of the
Mayor. and that the loan will not be
negotiated during the present city ad-
ministration.
by the New Farley National Bank. 1t
is understood that the executive objec-
tion to the loan is that the interest Is
to be taken out in advance. or the
city's note Is to be discounted, rather
than a straight loan made on the city's
note. The money SO secured, Ii Is
said. will then be deposited in the
same bank from which 1t Is secured. but
no interest is to be paid thereon while
on deposit.
Should the Mayor refuse to make
the temporary loan as authorized. e
will mean that the street improvements
will have to go over until the new ad-
ministration goes in after the 18th of
this month.
Another interesting development of
the bond matter Is the arrival In Mont
gomery yesterday of C. F. Cushman Of
the firm of Cushman & Hunt of Boston,
bond buyers. who had contracted to
take over the street Improvement
bonds that have been declared to be
not in accordance with legal require
ments.
Just what the visit OF Mr.. Cushman
means regarding the bonds can not be
learned. but Mayor league said yes
terday that a special Council meeting
might be called before the close of the
week and steps taken to straighten
out the tangle.
1t was suggested by a city official
yesterday that Cushman & Hunt might
possibly agree to take the city's note
for the loan and hold the same until
an issue of bonds could be authorized
and issued to them. That this will be
the ultimate solution of the matter
seems to be understood about the City
Hall
