JOY sPREADERS FINN
 NO JOY WITHOUT FUNDS

Gloom exuded from the Young Mems Joyspreading Society. as 1t stood, in dividually and collectively. before Acting Recorder Berto Johnson, to tell how its treasurer had become welded too tightly to the funds of the Joy spreaders, and refused to he divorced.
 The treasurer of the hilarious crew, Lindsay Mcbride. was charged with the embezzlement of $15.65 of the mon ey in his keeping. But Alderman Ber- to Johnson proved himself an author ity on matters pertaining to society business. and discharged the defen- dant.
 < For, pointed out the Alderman with the legal turn of mind, If the Joy spreaders elected their treasurer for a term of six months, which is not up until July l, then all the law in the land cannot make him guilty of em- bezzlement in case ne refuses to hand over the funds before the time Is up. And that was the case with the Joy spreading Society.

BRAINS OF NEGRO
 OOZE FROM WOUND

With his brains oozing out from a cut which extended through flesh and bone into the skull, Bud Hatcher, a negro, was taken to St. Margaret s Hospital yesterday evening, the vic- tim of an assault made by Jim Ivey a negro. Hatche, 1t is thought, will die, there being a fractured skull, though the terrible blow did not shake the negro into sciousness.
 Ivey was arrested within five min utes of the occurrence by Officers Loe and Evans, as he still stood before Crampton's blaming mill, on Lawrence street holding the hatchet with which he had inflicted the probably fatal wound. He made no attemp to es- cape.
 In Hatcher's hand was cRsped a knife, and Ivey declares that he struck only because the other negro ad. vanced on him with the open weapon
 The negroes had quarreled over a debt which 1vey owed Hatcher. and which he could not pay. Ivey declares that Hatcher was the aggressor.

SUSPEND FIREMEN
SEVEN FIVE POINTS MEN ARE
 LAID OFF.
Charged With Insubordination in the Tearing Down of Orders Which Had Been Posted By Cap-
 tain Watkins,


 Until 1t is ascertained which mem- Der of the fire department at the Five Points station tore down orders which had been posted by Captain Watkins, seven fremen will remain suspended, without pay, by order of Chief Browder.
 The seven who are under suspicion for the alleged insubordination, and who have been suspended, are P ] Cassidy. Eugene Cloud, Charles Ball, Sam Mann, H. M. Booth, J. Slough and J. H. Hatfield.
 Orders had been posted by Captain Watkins, regarding minor details of engine room discipline--the prohibition of use of pfofane language, sleeping about the quarters, etc.
 Twice before similar orders had been torn down. and 1t was thought that the firemen about the station were guilty Before they were posted the third time, the men were notified by order of the chief, that If town down again. the guilty party would be sum- marily dealt with.
 Friday, while Captain Watkins and Joseph Blocker were at meal, the or ders were torn down.
 Unable to ascertain the guilty fire. man, because of a maintained silence an order was issued to suspend the men on duty at the time of the oc- currence, leaving only Captain Wat kins and Blocker on duty. The places of the suspended firemen have been filled for the time by firemen from other stations. Chief Browder believes however, that the suspension will be but temporary. anticipating a confes- sion before long.
 The case is one of the most serious in the history of the fire department

MAY SELECT MONTGOMERY Permanent Headquar- ters to Be Named. LOGICAL POINT FOR SONS
 
Clarence ]. Owen, commander-in-
 Chief, Goes Through City.
At Meeting to Be Held in BirmIngham i'm october, the Council of the General Organization VIII
 Take Up Matter.

Clarence J. owens of Abbeville, Com mander-in- Chief of the Sons of Con federate Veterans. spent a short while in Montgomery last night en route to his home from the Memphis reunion. MT. Owens arrived on the night train from Birmingham and made connec- tions with the Coast Line for Abbe- vile.
 While in, Montgomery Mir. owen an- nounced that the meeting of the Ex- ecutive Council, of which he is chair man. would In all probabi bility be called in Birmingham on october 1, when att tention will be given to those matters referredj to the council by the general organization. The election of perma- nent adjutant, chief of staff. will also take place at this meeting
 The adjutant will be placed upon salary and will be expected to give the better part of his time In the du- ties devolving upon his office.
 After the election of officers the Council will then take up the most im- portant of the items referred 10 1t. that of selecting some Southern city for the permanent headquarters of the organization. Memphis and New Or leans have already been suggested, but 1t is more than probable that Mont gomery will secure the vote of the Council The general body of the or ganization decided that the headquar- ters should be located in some S0uth- ern city. and Montgomery being the first capital of the Confectionery and the home of the Historian General of the organization, pr. Thomas M. Owen, in addition to being very centrally To- cated, will naturally have considerable weight with the five members of the Council.
 Montgomery will. however. have a hard fight to land the headquarters, as 1t Is known that In addition to Mem phis and New Orleans. Birmieg gham, Chattanooga Nashville. Mobile, Atlan- ta and Richmond may offer tempting Inducements to the Council to locate headquarters. The matter will be thor oughly discussed and propositions gone over before final decision is made.
 Another matter that will come up for consideration is that of establishing an official organ of the organization to be published monthly at headquar- ters. It has not yet been definitely decided whether this publication shall be issued monthly or bi-monthly, but it is known that steps will be taken to put the official publication on firm basis.
 The Council will also take up the appointment of a committee to confer with A similar committee of the Sons 1 of Veterans. Federal, in regard to the 1 erection of a peace monument at Wash ! ington.
 Commander owens stated that the reunion in Memphis in so far as at- tendance and importance of business transacted was the best held by the organization in years.

ESCAPE FROM
 CLAYTON JAIL Negro Murderer Gets His
 Freedom. ELUDEs MONTGOMERY DOGS
John Lawson Was Sentenced to
 Die July 3.
Had Been Arrested in Montgomery as Suspicious Character, When
 it Was Found That He was
 Wanted for Wife Murder.

Clanton, June 12.-(Special.) )-Gain- ing possession of tools with which the jail Is being repaired, John Lawson, a negro sentenced to hang on July g, for the murder of his wife. and Henry Davis a negro convicted for burglary, dug their way through the walls to freedom today, and escaped.
 More than a dozen of the other negro prisoners,Ain the same yard, were given chance at escape, but none took ad- vantage of the opportunity. Throughout the day the escapes were chased, over swamp and through fields, the local-eficers being aided by depu- ties from Montgomery, who brought the hounds of Sheriff Hood to the trail
 The negroes, going from the jail to the south of the city, doubled, swery- ing to the north. Their trail was fol- lowed through the day. to Thorsby, up the railroad, and then back towards Clanton. When the heavy rain of late afternoon destroyed the scent, and the possibility of the men and dogs to work farther, the pursuers found themselves on the edge of swamp, one mile north of town. They returned to Clan pursuit of all day.
 Lawson is the negro who shot and killed his wife at Jemtson during the first of May. He wounded seriously, at the same time, negro woman in the room with his wife.
 He escaped to Montgomery, where he was caught, ands giving the name of William Dokes. was locked up as a suspicious character. sThe Montgom- cry officers knew nothing of his real identity. From a money receipt, how ever, they found that he was from Jemison, and telegrapning there for Identification. ascertained that he was the wife-murderer.
 He was brought immediately to Clan- ton, and tried for murder. His con viction and sentence to death came within eight days of the death of his wife, a record for speed in attaining the ends of justice.
 The chase will be taken up today, af- ter the officers and dogs are rested.
