DR. HOWELL BURIED
OVER TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE AT
 TEND SERVICES.
Buried With Masonic HOnOrs at DO- than--Rev. W. M. Anderson, Pastor of First Baptist
 Church, Pays Tribute.

Dothan, Jan. 1S.--(Special. )--Over 1000 people were here to attend the burial of pr. J. R. G. Howell. whose death occurred Saturday. People were here having to drive forty miles to attend, and the longest funeral pro- cession that ever was present at a funeral in Dothan was the one that marched behind the remains of Dr. J. R. G. Howell to the city cemetery yes- terday afternoon,
 The funeral services were conducted in the First Baptist Church by his pas tor. Rev. W. Nj. Anderson. at 2 o'clock, and were particularly impressive. Fully 1000 people had gathered there to hear the funeral oration. and there were more standing in front of the church than could get inside. During the pas. tors remarks he frequently referred to the life of this good man as an ex- ample for his flock. and called him the pillar of his church.
 He was buried with Masonic honors and the various Masonic orders for miles around were represented, or were out in a body. No hall in the city was sufficiently large to assemble the whole body preparatory for the march, and if was practically beyond the power of any one set of officers to direct the body. Marching in twos to the grave, there was a procession of Masons, es- timated to be one-half mile long.
 Several prominent out of town friends of the family were present to do honor to hts memory.

 An examination showed that the bodies had been lifeIess for hours Both had been shot through the back of the head. A revolver was found on the floor at the side of the bed in which the couple lay side by side.

washinet6h r,Jan. ls.--The Supreme Court of the United States today de- cided against former President Mover of the Western Federation of Miners, the damage suit brought by him against former Governor Peabody. of Colorado on account of Movers im- prisonment on the Governors order be- cause of his. connection with the riots ct Telluride. Col. in 1904.
 Former Adjutant General Sherman Bell, of Colorado. also was named as a defendant There was a strike of the miners employed in that vicinity and the militia was sent to Telluride to auell what the Governor and Gem eral Bell claimed was an lnsurrection.
 Moyer was an active factor in the agitation and he was arrested and im- prisoned on the charge of fomenting trouble He applied to the State courts for writ of habeas corpus and when this was refused. brought suit in the United States Circuit Court for the district of Colorado for damages on the around that there had been no author ity for his detention. Ills petition was dismissed for the reason that Judge Lewis. sitting in the Federal Court held he was without jurisdiction. Moy- CT then appealed to the Supreme Court and in an opinion delivered by Justice AolHieS tDdl court tOudS aAhEHSu thO ruling of the Circuit Court.
 In the course of his opinion. Justice Holmes said;
 We must assume that the Governor had right under the State legislation and laws to call out troops as was held by the Supreme Court of the State. The iegislation is supplemented by law that when an invasion of, or insur- rection in the State is made or threat ened, the Governor shall order the Ma tional Guard to repel or suppress the same. That means that he shall make the ordinary use of the soldiers to that end; that he may kill persons who resist and of course that he may use the milder methods of seizing bodies of those whom he considers to stand in the way of restoring peace.
 Such arrests are not necessarily for punishment but are by way of pre- caution to prevent the exercise of hos are made In good faith and in the hon. est belief that they are needed in order to head the insnrrection of, the Gov ernor Is the final judge and cannot be subjected to an action after he IS out of office on the ground that he had no real ground for his belief.
 When 1t comes to a discussion by the head of the State upon a matter involving it's life, the ordinary rights of individuals must yield to what nn deems the necessities of the moment. Public danger warrants the substitu- tion of executive process for judicial process"

PROHIBITION FIGHT
 IN TEXAS WAKES WARM

Austin Texas, Jan. 1S.--There were such exciting times In the House of the Texas Legislature this afternoon during the debate on the prohibition subject that the Speaker found 1t nec- essary to send the sergeant at arms into the galleries to quiet those who interrupted the members in the debate.
 The principal interruption was at- tendant upon the speech made by Rep resentative Fitzhugh of Tarrant Coun- ty, who was speaking in opposition to the submission of the amendment.
 After an afternoon of debate. those who oppose the measure tried late this evening to force a vote, but failed. They developed a vote of forty-four antis and eighty-one pros on this vote. It will require eighty-nine votes to pass the measure in the House.
 The fight will be renewed tomorrow. in all likelihood, though 1t is not be- iieved that the vote will occur for sev. eral days.

 Kieran says he will turn over his personal assets. which amounts to con- siderable. to the receiver for the Fi- delity Funding Company.
 Kierah stated that he had been keep ing quiet as to his whereabouts since the information should be used against him. because he had been poorly ad- vised as to the best method to pur- sue, and that he intended to make reparation as far as 1t is in his power to do so.

 The White House. Jan. is. 1909. ''Gentlemen:--
 "on January Ie. 1907. wrote let ter in attention of the one huhdredth anniversary Of the birth of Robert E. Lee.

 This day being the anniversary of his biEth, I would like to ask wheth- CT steps cannot at once be taken to provide such a memorial. I under stand that it has been definitely con- cluded to place it at Washington and Lee University--a university endowed by Washington and where General Lee passed In honorable service. the closing years of his life. and where his body now lies. ,t
 Could not your committee arrange for a meeting in Washington, or else- where, if your committee thinks sit wiser, in order that definite steps to- ward the desired end can be taken
