COUNTIES PROTEST
OBJECT TO GENERAL COURT sTEN-
 OGRAPHER BILL.
A Rush of County OfRcials to the City and q Fight is Made
 on the Bfll.

When the general stenographer bill came over from the Senate the House Committee on Judiciary reported with substitute. which was nothing more nor less than the John bill of the same intent in the House. As soon as this became known there was a rush yes- terday to Montgomery from towns and cities of the smaller circuits to get re- lief. It is now believed their cam paign will result in an amendment to the substitute, which will not disturb local conditions.
 The smaller circuits seemed to be satisfied with the Senate bill whose author was Mir. Reese of Covington, and there was no protest when It's passage became known. But with the action of the House committee there arose a protest which Is most likely to be felt on the floor this week. Unless the desired amendment is procured 1t Is claimed that efficient stenographers who are now serving in certain cir cults will be divorced from their jobs. The substitute bill of the House fixes salary of $4b per week for all the time that oflcial stenographers are employed in court work in the circuit or in the city courts. the expenses to be paid from the treasuries of the sev- eral counties.
 It is calculated that this would not be as attractive to stenographers in the smaller. circuits as the $1.200 fiat annually that is stipulated in the Sem ate bill.
 %In our cirthit.ss said E. c. Page, an attorney of Evergreen yesterday. "un- der a local law, there is a stenographer who finds 1t practicable to work under $1.200 per annum salary, but who could not under the general House bill proposed. Counting the short time that the circuit is engaged in court session, his salary would be cut after all expenses are deducted from the S45 per. week. It would make 1t necessary for the court to send to Montgomery or Mobile or elsewhere for q steno- grapher when we are well pleased with the present conditions under the local law"
 The House substitute also provides that stenographers shall be appointed by the judges and hold office during their efficiency. It Is understood that the amendment to except from the bill all circuits that are operating under a local law will be offered by the au- thor of the bill and have guod sup. port.

MURDERER
 CAUGHT HERE Was Arrested as a
 Drunk. GAVE FICTITIOUS NAME Curiosity of Chief Taylor Was
 Aroused. Finally Confessed That He Had Killed Printer During a Quarrel la
 Nashville Twelve
 Years Ago.

While intoxicated wln c. Bruce shot and killed fellow printer twelve years ago and while intoxicated he was arrested Saturday night. and his identity revealed
 When Patrolman Charley Patrick picked up a man named Joe Wallace on a charge of being drunk Saturday night. he had no idea that he was making the capture of man who had been sought in scores of cities for the last twelve years. man wanted in Nashville, Tenn for the brutal mur- der of Walter Martin a printer.
 Wallace's name was docketed Sat- urday night, and nothing was thought of the arrest until Chief Taylor learned this morning that Wallace had been going under the name of Joe Miller, during the three weeks that he had worked in Montgomery. It was learn ed that Miller had a friend. who knew something of his past, and this friend stated that Miller was wanted for some crime in Chattanooga
 Chief Taylor sent out several mes sages concerning his prisoner and had Miller, as he was then known. brought out of his cell. The chief informed his prisoner that 1t was known that he was wanted for a murder committed in Tennessee and then the prisoner, ad- mitted that his name was Will O.. Bruce. He said that he would willing ly go back to Tennessee without re- quisition papers as he was really glad that he had been captured as he was tired of lodging the police from place to place. He was employed here as a pressman in a local print shop. He was a pressman at the Methodist Pub fishing house in Nashville at tho time that he killed Martin.
 Bruce is a man of about 70 years. He says that he does not believe that he will have hard time in gaining his liberty. and says that the deed was committed in self defense and that it was not as brutal as the Associated Press dispatches seemed to consider 1t.

 Prospects that the commission gov ernment NblI may go by default. If its advocates are not especially wary and alert. are very evident. The House Rules Committee yesterday arranged tbe order of the Urquhart commission btll. so that 1t will not be called in the House before Wednesday morning. and probably not then, as several bills were placed in paramount order.
 Inasmuch as the session will close next Monday or Tuesday, and the Com . mission bill, after passage in the House, must go through the preItnl- . naries in the Senate, there Is much doubt as to whether final action can be taken on the measure before ad- lournment. a-.
 That adiournment will come the first Inf next week is an assurance, as legis- lators are restless, and the most out sIde of the delegations of the three oi s cities have no absorbing interest In the commission bill and its passage and 1t is like that few will desire 70 prolong the session for Its consioefa 2 ton. ..,.. |,
 Unless the CoHliiiiSsiNH .,,., both House and Senate are especially alert and prompt in the call and the course of the bill through committees and on the calendar, there Is prooa' hilitv of the sessions end catching the issue unsettled. and therefore dead by default. .,,,

CURTISS IS HURT
TO AMERICAN AVIATOR
 IN FRANCE.
Violent Gust of Wind Catches Aero plane Causing 1t to Strike
 Ground-EnventOr Not
 Seriously Injured.


 Rheims. France. Aug. 16.---Glenn H. Curtiss, the American aviator, who will take part in the aviation week contests made two successful trips in his areoplane near here today, each of a few minutes duration.
 At the end of his third flight. which lasted four minutes Curtiss made an abrupt landing and his machine was slightly damaged. He declared that the machine needed nothing but a little tuning up to be in perfect shape and he is elated with its easy opera tion.
 It is expected that the repairs to the Areoplane will be completed to- morrow.
 The accident was due to a violent gust of wind catching the aeroplane crosswise and causing 1t to strike the ground hard on its side. It is stated that the aeroplane was damaged greater than at first appeared and 1t is feared that repairing 1t possibly will be a long operation and even may pre- clude MT Curtiss' participation in the first days of the meeting.
 MT. Curtiss Is suffering from shock and bruises though his condition is not serious.

WHISTLE HEARD MANY MILES
Notes of Steamboat Siren Carry Far,
Especially on Still Night In
the Country.

Have you ever wondered what
sounds travel the farthest? If you live
in great city you are constantly en-
veloped in such a multitude of noises
that it is very seldom that any partic-
ular one attracts the attention unless
1t be unusually sharp or strident, and
although piercing, such a sound Is
not likely to carry any great distance
The higher notes are exceedingly pen
etrating for a short radius, and un
questionably more startling than the
lower ones, but the latter are much
more far-reaching.
The ability of a sound to carry de-
Ponds upon its vibrations, and any one
who has listened to the deep notes OF
a pipe organ in a church will admit
that he could almost feel the air vi.
brate. But probably a steamboat
whistle, such as are common on the
Ohio and Mississippi PACKETS, can be
heard as far as any sound that may
ordinarily be met with. The deep
resonance of its tones, floating stead
lily ont into the air, seem to stretch
away indefinitely into space, especial
ly in the stiffness of a night in the
country. 1t is sound that cannot be
mistaken for any other, and when
once its acquaintance has been made
you will never forget it.-Harper's
Weekly.
