BLOODY SHOES AT
 POPE'S RESIDENCE
EVIDENCE IS GATHERING ABOUT MAN CHARGED WITH BASTARD " MURDER AT OXFORD TUES DAY-HEAvlLY GUARDED.

Annston, April 21.-(Special.)-Th e finding of pair of bloody shoes and some old brass buttons were the most important developments in the case of the murder of J. B. McClurkin today, and this discovery is considered almost positive evidence against Irwin Pope, alleged principal in the dastardly crime of Tuesday morning.
 Both discoveries were made at Pope S home, the shoes being found under a hay stack and the buttons in some ashes near an old pot, where it is be- lieved Pope burned the clothes which he wore on the night of the murder.
 Coroner J. l.. Murphy, assisted by solicitor W. c. Tunstall, examined over a score of witnesses before the coro- ner's jury today but the investigation will not be concluded before tomorrow morning or afternoon.
 There have been four arrests to date and others are expected to follow. While the feeling is probably not quite so intense as it was last night, there
 Sill some danger of violence, it Is cared, and Sheriff LeGrand Is keeping a strong guard at the jail again to- night as well as holding the 50 special deputies in readiness for a hurry call.

 In short, fellow citizens, what we need above everything else. is to realize that the fight of the doctors for the health of the community is our fight, and that 1t should be sustained with all the strength of an aroused public opinion. If I were to express 1t all in a word, l would say promote the physician, dignity his noble work and support him in his unselfish efforts to better the health of mankind.
 The physician has abundantly justified
  The work he has already so well done IS ample authority for the confidence he asks of us in the new and greater work upon which he has just entered. It is an ennobllng and inspiring thing to recall that He who spake as never man spake and went about doing good, was Himself the Great Physician who healed the bodies as well as saved the souls of mankind. The beautiful legend of Abou Ben Adhem. who asked that he be writ ten down ''as one wno loved his fellow men," and who in the angels scroll lied all the rest" Is best exemplified in the ncble work which the physician has done and is doing for the human race.
 AttalIa Man Introduced.
 J. P. Stewart of Attalla was introduced and read paper on The Tuberculin Treatment telling of his experience in the use of it. "It was discovered in 1891 by pr. Robert Koch and has now just entered into the limelight as the greatest treatment which may be used with safe ty by an intelligent physician
 He explained the culture of tuberculin from tubercular bacilli. which he said renders immune not only from the dis ease, but from the germ. He narrated the effect of the use of the tuberculin.

NATIONAL GUARDS
 FREED OF CHARGE
Court 0fInquiry Makes Formal
 Report
THE STATE OWES BRICKEN
Mir. Justice A. D. sayre Holds That a Man Must Pay Taxes to Hold Office, But Flnklea Is In
 and Can't Be ousted.

Montgomery. April 2.-(Special) 1.-The court of inquiry recently appointed to pass upon questions arising out of the ex- aminations Of the adjutant generals de- partment, has found that none of the funds of the state were applied to pur- poses for which there is not warrant of law, but advises that there be some changes in administration, and that funds contributed by citizens and those of the state be kept apart. It is also urged that no liquors be kept about the camps or used in them other than just enough for medicinal purposes.
 In the report referred to, made by As sistant State Examiner H. Y. Brooke, it was held that some of the charges against the state for encampments at Selma and at Daphne by the Second regiment Col. c. R. Bricken, commanding, were without the rights of the law, but the court finds that there was omre than enough con- tributed funds to take care of all the items not allowed by law. In fact, taking the whole time, 1t is found that the state is really due Colonel Bricken the sum of s17.52, which 1t is recommended ought to be paid back to him. he having spent that much for the state that he did not charge.
 In the case of Gen. Barry Holt of the quartermasters department, Maj. Ben Noble and former Maj. V. B. Atkins of the cavalry, there was no question of the legality of expenditures, and the channels through which they were sent out. The court is made up of Gen l.. V. Clark of Birmingham president; Gem Robert F. Ligon of Montgomery and Col. w. H. Mc- Elroy of Anniston, with Maj. A. c. Sexton as recorder. The report was submitted several days ago.
 Must Pay Poll Tax.
 In the case of Finklea vs. Parish, from the probate court of Monroe county, Mir. Justice A. D. Sayre holds that a man must pay his poll tax to be a citizen in the sense of holding office. It was shown that B. B. Finklea had been elected tax assessor of the county but had not paid his poll tax. J. P. Parish, as a citizen, contested the election on the ground that he had not paid the tax, ana the lower court declared the office vacant. Justice Sayre holds that the point is well taken, but that -Finklea is safe In office because of the fact that the contest was not be- gun within 20 days after election, the legal time. It was also shown that neither of the litigants had paid their poll taxes.

n rose to be a colonel six years
later. He was a major general In
n he commanded a brigade
In the Japan-China war. At that time
he was noted as a hero OF Port Ar
thur, and in the war with Russia he
again won his spurs as the command
ser of h imperial guardsmen under
Cen. sKuroki. leading it to victory at
the Yalu and the battle OF Liaoyang.
He WAS made a general in 1904, and
after that battle was appointed head
of the army at Korea. He is now
practically at the top of Japanese
military regime. and should there be
probability is that he would be in
command.
Gen, Hasegawa looks like a soldier.
Indeed, he reminds me much OF our
Gen. Lawton, who was killed In the
philippines. He has the same slender
figure, the same erect bearing and an
eye which is equally. piercing. He has
a jaw or iron, high cheek bones and
IA high. broad but rather %recedinE fore
head. His yes are almost straight.
n his nose is larger than that of
the ordinary Japanese. His face is
full of red blood. but it is bronzed
from his life In the field. He wore
today his military uniform. which is
the color of khaki. and on the breast
of his coat L noticed eight silk loops.

decorations of honor when he appears

GEN. HAsEGAwA TALKS.
During our conversation, which
lasted for perhaps half an hour, I
asked the general to tell me something
of the military situation in Korea. FIe
replied that the situation was steadily
improving and that the rebels Who
are such on patriotic grounds had
practically disappeared. Said he:
The actual conditions of Korea ms
to law and order have never ,heen
known to the world, and they have
not been appreciated even blythe gov
eminent at Seoul. For generations
bands OF b%rigandss have infested the
mountains, and have come out now
and then to prey on the people of
the lowlands. They have held up the
farmers and b~lacknlailed the villages.
II they We're informed upon the in
formers were sure to meet with death
sooner or later, and the village might
be burned as a matter Of vengeance.
These bands are generally without
organization, but there is one chief
who has many followers. His home
Is in the mountain Businesses between
here and Gensan. We know who he
is and hope to catch him. At present
our soldiers are after these robber
bands. They are so scattered that ii
will take "a long time to wipe them
out, and we believe that there are
thousands of them. When we have
disposed of them the country will be
practically quiet"

THE MIKADos MILITARY FIST.
The hand of the emperor OF Japan
in his ruling of Korea is for the
present. nominally at least, gloved
with velvet. Inside the glove. how
ever, there is a fist of iron. and the
gawa, one of the most famous soldiers
in his majesty'S army. He is COM
mander-in-chief of the garrison in
Korea. and as such has entire control
of military affairs on the peninsula
He believes in ruling the people with
a strong hand, and Il he had his viii
he would, i am told. institute a. mill
tary dictatorship and stop what many
call the humanitarian foolishness
now carried on by Uncle Sam and the
emperor OF Japan in trying to train
up weak and corrupt nations to the
ability of governing themselves. Gen.
Hasegawa would not acknowledge this
to the public. He Is here as the as
sistant of Prince Ito. n as such
must do as Prince Ito says. There is
no doubt. however. but that he be-
lieves in a strong hand being used in
Korea, and thai he is able to WELD
it If the same should be ordered.
The main object of my visit to
Pong-san today was to meet the gen
eral and nave a talk with him. My
audience took place In his h~eadquar-
tors, and we drank tea and smoked
cigarettes as we chatted together
through the medium of Mr.. Kouroda.
Gen, Hasegawa is now fifty-nine
years OF age. He began his life in
the army at twenty-five as a major.
