AVIATOR KILLED
 IN MAKING TEST

Boulogne, September 2.-Captain Fer Der, an officer of the French army, was killed here this morning while testing an aeroplane. While in the air the machine turned completely over and then dashed to the ground. Captain Ferber was crushed to death by the motor.
 After a short flight the captain at- tempted to alight A wing of the machine touched the ground and the aeroplane turned a somersault and crashed to the earth.
 Four years ago Captain Ferber was in the United States to examine the Wright aeroplane on behalf of the French gov- ernment He opened negotiations for the purchase of the American machine but without success.
 Captain Louis Ferdinand Ferber had been detailed for several years past for the investigation of aeronautics in the in- terests of the French army. He was at one time in charge of the extensive gov ernment reservation at Belleville, near Paris where the army conducted a series of experiments in aviation. He worked with the Lebaudy Bros, and the dirigibls balloon La Patrie was an outcome of his however, turned quickly to the heavier than-air machine and he was pioneer in this field
 Captain Ferber took part in the recent aviation contests at Rheims, where he flew in the race for the international cup and gave also an exhibition flight.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Regarding Search Warrants.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having noticed your offer to publish in the columns of your paper signed dis cussions of the constitutional amendment issue now before the people, I desire to offer these observations.
 Some well informed people who are op- posed to the amendment base their op- position upon the construction that may be given, or the authority that may be conferred by section of the proposed amendment others base their opposition upon other and different grounds; some because the Rev. Brooks Lawrence is from Ohio, others because of the called Political Parson,' yet others be- be governor of Alabama by the will of a great majority of the people.
 It is the first of thes objections that I desire to discuss, because many good people have been deceived by the asser- tions of some of the well informed.
 The objection urged to section ? is that 1t will authorize violation of the sanc- tity of the home. and your paper has con- tributed to this impression by the liberal use of the cartoon.
 Let us see If there is any foundation for so much apprehension and solctude for the sanctity of the home of the man who has liquor in the home flor home use;" and let us see if the idea that a constitutional amendment is necessary to search the home is not newly discovered. Before any of those who are now dis cussing the question were born, Alabama had provided, by statute, for the issuance of search warrants in certain cases, and section 775S of the code of 1908 provides:
 Tt (search warranD may be issued on any of the following grounds: Q.) Where the property was stolen or embezzled. CD Where is was used as the means of com hitting a felony. (3) Where it is in the possession of any person with the intent to use 1t as means of committing pub lie offense, or in the possession of an- other to whom he may have delivered it,

Plea to Alabama Manhood.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 No one who is unprejudiced can but ad- mire the temperate stand your paper has taken in this very incorporate discussion of temperance relative to forcing prohib1- ton into the constitution. We now have a most stringent prohibition law and if that law be good, if constitutional, what is the necessity of trying to incorporate it into the constitution? oDes it not seem from the very nature of it's drastic force that it's friends, realizing it will be found unconstitutional, now desire to make it a part of the constitution that they may save themselves from defeat when 1t shall be tested? It seems to me this is con fession of weakness and should be read fly understood as such.
 Alabama, in the language of the In dian, means Here We Rest" but it seems that every effort during the last year or two has been made to change the meanings of that name into Here We Fight"
 Next to a nations faith in God its greatest protection is It's constitution. Let its temple once be invaded by the van dalism of political ambition and It's high god be torn from its altar the result will mean naught but sack and ruin.
 Alabama stands second to none in the strength of its manhood and the purity of it's womanhood. It is to be hoped that the manhood of this great commonwealth will so protect it's constitution that the sanctity of It's home will not be invaded by the political grafter from whom the eagle on the dollar receives more worship than he gives to his Creator.
 Alabama should stand second to no state in the equity of its laws and the strength and dignity of its judiciary Heaven grant 1t may ever be so.
 10 tamper with your constitution is to weaken the keystone of the arch.
 The United States In its constitutaoo
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-23

for the purpose of concealing it, Or pre- venting it's discovery.
 Section 7765 of the same code provides: '"To execute the warrant the officer may break open any door or window of g. house, or any part of house, or anything therein, if. after notice of his authority and purpose, he is refused admittance.
 The issuance of the warrant must be supported by an affidavit showing prob able cause.
 This has been the law of Alabama, time whereof the memory of man run meth not to the contrary and yet It has never been used as a means for vio- lating the sanctity of the home. Nor has its constitutionalty ever been seriously brought into question.
 Now. suppose I have whisky in my home with the intent to use it as means of committing a public offense," to-wit, to sell it in violation of the laws of the state, that law quoted above, which is hoary with age, would authorize any magistrate to issue warrant for the search of my premises, upon probable cause being shown by the affidavit of some reliable person, such an affidavit as would create In the mind of the magis- trate probable cause of my having # there with the intent to use it as a means of committing a public offense," to- wit, its sale.
 Yes, "let the discussion of this ques- tion be honest" Let not the well in formed hold up to the view of the less informed boog-a-boos and scarecrows. Let us not lose sight of the real issue. That issue is, whether or not the people of Alabama will recall to themselves the right to say when saloons and whisky dives shall again legally infest Alabama. If we adopt the amendment the saloon can return only by our expressed will; If we refuse 1t, they may return at the will of the legislature.

This great picture has been ordered special to show at Bonita, the Third avenue picture play theatre. today and tomorrow. The picture Is wonderfully clear and distinct.
 From the arrival of the Presidents special train the motion pictures make one a close view spectator of the great ovation given Big Bill Taft" at Chicago. The President is seen at such close range and so clearly that every expression of his face and the jolly twinkle of his eyes are perceptible.
 Among the incidents is the ovation of the 10000 patriotic school children, the enormous and perfect Chicago ball park with such tremendous crowds of fans (50000) as but few in Birmingham have ever seen.
 The game is between the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs" and
