THREATENING WAR CLOUD
 LIFTED FROM CAPOUYA

If Turkey would just behave itself, Eli Capouya would not be so concern ed about his prospects. Not that Tur- key you hear so much about the last Thursday In November, nor that one you will hear a deal about December 25. The Turkey that gives Eli Capouya night mares is sandwiched between the Adriatic and the Aegean seas.
 Ell learned a lot about Turkey while he resided on the Isle of Rhodes, but he is viewing her from a different angle in Montgomery and is puzzled to know what she will do next. He blew into the office of the United States court Wednesday, evidently perturbed. and asked to know"
 If dat Turkey, my Co'ntree, fight some more, will fight, too, aiso?" Mike Heating said. Ask me-"
 Finally. it dawned upon Keating that Capouya had just received news from Turkey in an ominous letter. de- scribing one of the horrible revolu- tions of 1906 Eli has been in Mont gomery three years and took out his first naturalization papers twenty-nine months ago. Not until July, ts1z, can he be a citizen of the United states. and he is fearful Lest Turkey learn that he Is in Montgomery and send a detachment of the Sultan's body guard

CONVICTED SLAYER
 GETS ANOTHER TRIAL

Birmingham, Dec. S---(Special)--W Ham P. Reynolds former policeman, who was convicted of the murder of John Mclean, Southside furniture dealer. and sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. was today granted a new trial.
 In granting Reynolds new trial. Judge William E. Fort of the criminal court. held that the act approved February 26, 1907. entitled "An Act to provide for and regulate the drawing summoning and empaneiling of Juries in capital cases in Jefferson county" is unconstitutional
 Judge Fort says that he personally inspected the House Journal and found that the records show that the bill was referred by the House of Representa- lives to the committee on local legis- lation of the House and was reported to the House by the judiciary commit tee.
 The constitution provides that no bill shall become "a law until 1t shall have been referred to a standing conn mittee of each house. acted upon by such committee in session and return cd therefrom, which fact shall af- firmatively appear upon the journal of each house.
 The constitutionaiity of the jury bill was raised when Reynolds was placed on trial by his attorneys. Allen and Bell and J. Mckenzie Long. Judge Fort overruled the motion, and when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, the attorneys filed motion in arrest of Judgment and also a motion for new trial, and called attention to the defect.
 Tn his written opinion Judge Fort said that had the attorneys been specific In the motion prior to the trial of Reynolds there would have been no trial until the question had been fully investigated.

No time was lost in getting ready to

not add much weight, and the wood
was piled up on top.
The doctor calculated with three

By in the afternoon everything was

FOR UNMARRIED NIECE.
State Supreme Court Decides That Will
Does Not Tend to Discourage
Marriage.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Nov. 15.-[Spe
cial. IA will contest in which one OF
the most unique points ever involved in
similar litigation in Wisconsin was a
feature, has just been decided by the
supreme court when the judgment of the
lower court in sustaining the will of the
late Clara Nj. Bacon OF this city was
affirmed.
The appeal was brought by two mar
ried nieces of the deceased who sought
to test the validity of a provision of
the testatrix in her will which pro-
vided for distribution of a portion of
her estate among nieces who were I'M
married at that time. The appellants
claimed that this provision was against
public policy as it tended to discourage
marriage and to encourage divorce, con-
tending that by unmarried nieces it was
meant not only those who had never
wed but those who might be widowed or
divorced.
The other side contended that the pro-
vision was meant simply by the tesla
trix merely to provide for certain nieces
who had no husbands to provide for
them.

SHOTGUN NOT FIRED.
Wife of Man Slain by Police Chief Says
Weapon Was Broken Before
the Shooting.

BEAVER DAM, Wis, Nov. 10
Especial. Henry Peters lived fifteen
hours before succumbing to the bullet
fired into his side by Chief of Police
August Goetsch last Friday after Mrs.
Peters had called for police aid when
her husband returned home fighting
drunk.
However, today the woman denies
that Chief Goetsch had any cause to
shoot Ter husband, and declares that
several minutes before the officer broke
into the house, that Peters had smashed
the stock from the barrel of the shotgun
with which the chief says Peters fired
a charge Of buckshot which narrowly
missed his head.
Chief Goetsch, apparently much per-
turbed at the death of Peters, will make
no statement relative to the shooting,
which originally he said occurred when
he had forced an entrance into Peters
house and was met with armed resist
ance, whereupon in self defense he shot
Peters after the latter had fired the
shotgun at him. Mrs. Peters says her
husband broke the gun in hammerng on
a door leading to the apartment occupied
by another family.
