SECRETARY IS SLAIN
RICH AUSTRIAN FIGURES IN LOU-
 ISIANA TRAGEDY.
Reported That Family Troubles Led to Killing-Accused Man is For-
 mer Demopolis Citisen--
 Debate scheduied.

Demopolis,, Oct. 4.-(Special. )-News was received in the city Sunday of the killing of a man by, Frank James at Rayville. La. Particulars of the affair are meagre.
 It is said that the man killed was the secretary of James, and that they had trouble before. James Is an Aus trian, has been in this country some time and had accumulated quite a large fortune out of the timber busi- ness. He operated few miles from this city for several years and em. ployed a large number of Siavs. whom he imported.
 Recently he moved to Louisiana, where he purchased large tract of timber Four or five years ago James was married to Miss Annie Dobson of Jefferson. It is reported here that family troubles lead to the killing.
 (The Advertiser willingly publishe es the letter of MT. Janes The item of which he complains was sent in. in a regular news letter by it's correspond- ent at Demopolis. a man whose relia- bility had never been questioned.
 The matter contained in the item was absolutely new to The Advertiser and no man in the office had ever heard of Mir. James Over the, long distance phone the Demopolis correspondent said that the alleged killing had been Demopolis and that he thought he had sufficient information to justify its publication. The Advertiser regrets the publication, in which there could be no possible. malice. for no person connected with the paper in the home office knew Mir. ,Janes.-Editor of The Advertiser)

QUESTION OF HOSE
COUNCILMEN TALK THREE HOURS ABOUT SMALL PIPE.
No COnciusiOa Reached, Bat Twelve Witnesses Are InteFrogased Re hind Locked Doors-Plux
 Controversy Goes Owed.

Members of the Fire and Water Committees of the City Council met in the Council Chamber last night and talked three hours behind closed doors about a piece of fire hose that proved defective at the recent Sellers & Drum warehouse fire. s
 While the hose ostensibly was the purpose of the meeting. it was inti- mated after the committees adjourned that its real significance was a TO- opening of the movement 10 oust Fire Chief Browder from the department he heads. which has been Qufescent since the failure of the Saul ordinance in the City Council some weeks ago.
 Some opposition to making the ses- sion an executive one was met. Alder man Thompson opposed the idea and contended that the meeting should be an open one. However. his colleagues could not see 1t in the same light, and the doors were locked.
 During the testimony of twelve wit nesses who were examined. 1t is said that 1t developed that there was a break partially through the section of hose under consideration near the hole that penetrated the hose and that a nine-ton truck and a forty-ton dummy engine had passed over the hose while 1t was in use.
 According to Alderman Lowe. the water pressure at the time of the fire was in excess of no pounds. Chief Browder contends that the pressure was less than 100 pounds.
 The question of an alleged dead fire plug on the night of the same blaze was to have been taken up. but when no conclusion in the hose matter was reached. the plug controversy was not touched upon.
