 for Fallen Women.


 San Antonio. Tex. Oct. 17.-CSpe- cial. l.)-AItnough Judge Arthur W. See ligson of the Fifty-seventh District Court decided that the city ordinance preventing the Salvation Army from erecting a house of refuge on the site they had selected for 1t, was void, Mayor Callighan will take further steps to defeat the plans of that or ganization.
 Speaking of the decision rendered. Mayor Callaghan said:
 q do not propose to allow the erec- ton of such an institution within the city limits. The case will be fought by me as Mayor of the city of San An tonic to the last resort.
 "I believe that to Haunt such a house before the gaze of the public will be against common decency.
 'I realize the position of every self respecting citizen of this city when such an outrageous proposition Is thrust upon them under cover of the Salvation Army. It is not a straight forward proposition; it is not honest. ."
 The purpose of the institution Is claimed to be especially the rehabili- tation of fallen women and on this ac- counnt strenuous objections to the plans has been made by many property owners in the vicinity of the location chosen.

 While the campaign so far has been pretty clear of mud siinging. 1t is pointed out by some of the leaders on both sides here. the intimation Is given that such condition will not continue through the campaign.

 Tons of literature have already been distributed throughout the State, the postage account at both 1headQuarters being in the thousands already. There Is yet much printed matter to go out. both sides preparing new stun, and the two headquarters here are to be kept right up to the election day.

Huntsville. Oct. 17--(Speoial.) )--The grand jury has reported sixty true bills after spending two weeks in in- vestigating dozens of fTivileus cases which were reported as not being wor- thy of consideration. In It's final re- port to Judge Tancred Betts. the jury gives Justices of the Peace and depu- ties a rap for alleged irregularities re- lating to the arrest of prisoners on one charge and allowing them to plead guilty to lighter charges. The ends of justice are often defeated in that manner, it is stated, and Justices of the Peace are requested to have no trials in the future except in their own offices.

 San Antonio. Tex. oct. l1.--(Spe- cial. al.)---Aocording to the data of his balloon night made on July and D. 1908. Dr. Frederick J. Fielding of this city. still claims that he holds the dis- tance record bf aerial navigation by means of the gas bag. The St Louis winner in the recent contest only cov- cred 5s0 miles, while the Fteldins.san Antonio balloon travelled 7s5 miles: {: what is more, pr. Fielding remained in the air but twenty-three hours ana fifteen minutes to cover this distance, while forty hours was the time of the St. Louis winner.
 pr. Fielding does as yet not know whether his record Is officially con- sidered as having been broken. Should this be the case, he will issue a chal- lenge for new contest. to be started from this city. His flight of year ago was under the auspices of the Federation Clubs of Chicago and was with the Bryan J. Arnold cup. He is inclined to think that this is the reason why tine association holding the St. Louis contest Is now claiming the record.

Pearson. who died Saturday morning from com. plications of heart troubles. took place this afternoon and it was one of the largest ever seen here.

ton with the settlement of the post mastership of that city. Indeed, when the news got out some months ago that the incumbent, J. Rivers Carter. did not have the backing of Referee Joe Thompson in his efforts to retain his job, considerable scheming was report ed here on the part of people who jumped to the conciusion that probably one of the National Republicans" might hook on, and thus the appoint ing powers could escape from naming Thompson's man in the event they make up their minds not to retain Car ter as the head man of the best paying postofice in Alabama
 It is we'll understood in Washington that Postmaster General Frank Hitch cock is anxious to stand by Thompson in this and. other postofice appoint ments In the State, but Carter's in- dorsements by the business and profess sional men of Birmingham are 8 strong that 1t Is very perpiexing thing,to de- eide what to do. Unless Thompson has recently changed his mind he Is not ex- pected to give his indorsement to Car ter. although he has stated to mum Der of persons that he Is not unfriendly to him.
 But to most folks 1t would seem that If Thompson is to be recognized in fu- ture as the all powerful referee In Ala bama appointments, he would naturally expect to name man of his choice TOT the Birmingham postmastership. HOW ever. even Mir. Hitchcock, much as he likes Thompson. could not see his way clearly to recommend Joe Montgomery for the place several months ago when the referee was generally understood to be favoring Montgomery.
 Cannot Ignore Carter.
 Carter's backing was too strong to be ignored even for one who had the favor of the local boss. The President was being advised as to the situation by influential business men right along. although it was never claimed for moment that the Postmaster General had any Intention of recommending Montgomery. This matter will doubt less be settled about the time Congress meets. It is expected that nomina- ton will be sent early to the Senate. Carter's friends are more than hopeful that he will receive another comnis- sion, not being willing to admit that one of those National Republicans' at Birmingham can walk into his official shoes.

Carter and complained that Cornelius had 70 neglected his mule that the snuls had trespsssed on his property and injured his crop of peas. He de- scrfbed the. location of the pea vines. saying that they grew among the staIks of corn.
 Cornelius was tried, and on the joint oAth of his accuser and the dusl<y Mary hs was convicted and ordered to pay dhmages for Threadgilrs peas. Then. alas. 1t transpired that no peas had grown on the troublesome patch. Furthermore, it was proved to the sat- isfaction of the court that Cornelius mule was several miles away at the time he was alleged to have played havoc with the peas that were not.
 Thus a fall has been taken out of the reputation Of Nemesis.
