TALKED ABOUT AFRICA.
A. Henry Savage Lander Entertains
Guests Of Geographic Society.

One of the most interesting OF the ser
les Of lectures given under the auspices
of the National Geographic Society. at
the Masonic Temple. was that of A.
Henry Savage Landor, last night on the
subject of Africa The belief that some
thing about the country in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt will hunt next spring
would be exploited drew many persons
other than the members of the Geograph-
lie Society. They were not disappointed.
for Mr.. Lander gave n full account of
a recent trip he took across the dark
continent. illustrated by excellent photo
graphs, which were thrown on the screen
by stereopticon.
In speaking of his equipment for such
trip Mr.. Lander said he made the
journey in ordinary summer Clothes and
took no medicines. The result was he
came through in the best of health. A
feature of Mr.. Landors lecture. which
was particularly interesting to the audi
ence. was his description of Menelik of
Abyssina. the famous old monarch who
rules with an iron hand country sur
rounded by the possessions of European
powers. The photographs of Menelik and
his court were particularly interesting.

DELAY IN REPORT
COURT or INQUIRY AWAITS wORl
 OF sTENOGRAPHER.
The Papers in the Case of Col. c. R. Bricken Have Not as Yet Been
 Handed the Governor.

On account of the incompleteness of the stenographic report of the exam nation of the witnesses by the spe- cial court of inquiry summoned to investigate the report of Assistant State Examiner of Public Accounts. H. Y. Brooke. on the military expendi- lures of Col c. R. Bricken. no form has been handed Governor Conner.
 Gen. R. F. Ligon. member of the court, said to a reporter of The Ad. vertiser yesterday: Our report on the findings of the court has not been filed in the once Of Governor Conner as yet. although the taking of testl- mony has been completed. Late Sat urday afternoon the court dictated a lengthy tentative report to the stenog- rapher. but no transcription has been made to which we may attach our sig natures
 'It will be several days in all prob- ability before the stenographer can transcribe all of the testimony taken on Saturday and also transcribe the tentative report dictated. The re- port will. however, be handed to Gov srnor Conner within the next few days."
 Since the taking of final testimony in the case Saturday afternoon, gossip ct the State building has 1t that the report of the Court of Inquiry will! completely vindicate all of the ex- penditures of Col. Bricken. as report ed by the Assistant State Examiner. Although Maj Ben Noble of the Cav airy squadron. deemed that an official inquiry into his accounts was neces- sary. Assistant Examiner Brooke on the stand testified to the court that he had no fault whatever to find with the account that would seem to indi- cate that the States appropriation had been expended in an illegal manner

CHANGE IN
 COURT RULES Quick Sentences For
 Prisoners. NOT TO LINGER IN IAl Much Money Will Be Saved By
 the County. Negro Yesterday was Charged Wieh Changing His Name With object
 of Fraud In View and
 Was Fined

From this week, all prisoners con- victed in the criminal division of the City Court of Montgomery will be sentenced on the Saturday morning following their conviction. The old rule of sentencing convicted prisoners at the end of the term of the court Is abolished.
 This was the alnouncement of Judge Armstead Brown of the court yestG- day morning, made from the bench. innne lately after the converting of the session.
 Heretofore it has been the custom to keep all prisoners in the county jail after their conviction on an offense, to the end of the term of court then in session. Tn many cases c negro convicted during the first week of the court would lie In the county jail at the expense of the county for six weeks or more, getting no credit for his Imprisonment. By the new rule, issued yesterday, the prisoner will be- gin serving sentence almost immedi- ately.
 As was the case on Monday three cases were tried by the court yester- day morning and afternoon. All three of the cases were negroes. John Moore thought he could change his name whenever he wished and thereby escape the payment of certain moneys borrowed on credit. He had several aliases and as many debts. as well as two charges to answer in court. He was convicted of changing his name unlawfuliy. lined $26. and then con- victed of false pretenses and fined am other $25.
 Cecie Boin, on a charge of violating the prohibition law. plead guilty to tho charge and was fined $7S.
 John Johnson, on the oh arge of re- ceiving stolen property. was not tried. His case was continued to Friday morning. Cases of minor importance will be taken up again this morning.
