Hunting for Fuxitiyes.

Profiting by the experience of an Alabama Sheriff who recently came here and found four murderers, none of whom he suspected were in this city. Sheriff Fountain. of Brewton. and Sheriff Bell. of DeFuniak, arrived in the city this morning on search for several men for whom they hold war rants, three of whom are charged with murder.
 The sheriffS will accompany Sheriff Van Pclt and Chief Sanders on several trips to export wharves and aboard ships. where hundreds of negroes are employed. and they expect to find some of the men for whom they are searching.
 It has become a common practice among negroes who commit crimes in Alabama. Georgia and Florida, to fee to this city, obtain work on the wharves where hundreds of other ne groes are employed. and thus lose themselves from parties who may be in search of them.

 men In Bunches.
 Washington, Dec. 29-President Taft today put into operation new plan of receiving congressional callers.
 It was practically reversion to the Roosevelt method of admitting a large number of senators, representa- tiyes and other callers into his private office at the same time.
 Since the beginning of his adminis- tration. President Taft. has endeavored to give each caller an individual audience. He has found. however, that this plan has sadly disarranged his engagement list and often some Senator or Representative has had to wait an hour or more for his turn to talk with the President.
 Under the arrangement put into ef- feet today, matters were greatly facilitated. The President will con tinue to set apart the half hour from 10 to 10:30 a. m every day except cabinet days. for the reception of Senators and Representatives having constituents to introduce
