ELECTION WAS VOID
GRAYMONT, JEFFERSON COUNTY,
 ERiaORED IN HASTE.
A Decision Of the Supreme Court Yesterday Declares That a Bond Election For Schools Was
 Held Too Soon.

For having hurried too much with an election for the issuance of school and sanitary sewer. bonds in February. 1909, the city of Graymont, Jefferson county. wasted its energy and money. as the Supreme Court of Alabama yesr terday decided with the Jefferson Chan cery Court that the election was void. The ordinance passed by the Gray mont council calling for the election was contrary to the Code regulating the holding of elections in municipali- ties of Alabama. The provision violat- ed was that which says that no cleo tion shall be held within two years ot an election for the same purposes.
 It seems that on July 27. 1908, Cray mont voters held an election at which bond issue of $20,000 for acquiring sites and building school houses there- on and equipping the same" was car ried by decisive vote. Also at the same time and by authority of a sim liar ordinance an issue carried on that date in the sum of $l0,000 for the con struction of sanitary sewers.
 Finding that the bonds authorized and executed after that election were insufficient, the Grayfnont authorities set about to supplement the funds, . ~- dering an election for February .-.ls year. much less than one year after the other election for like purposes. And erring thereby, they could not realize on the issue, for the reason that W. r. Stott, taxpayer, got an injunction in the Jefferson Chancery Court to pre- vent the execution and sale of the bonds The decree granting the in- junction was affirmed

TREES ON SIDEWALKS
 GO AT CITY'S COMMAND

If a nature-lover. of ever so tender care, nurture tree on the sidewalk in front of his or her home, the shade and ornament afforded thereby is very good but not vested property of the resident. owning the abutting property.
 This Is the substance of a ruling by the Supreme Court in the case of Dora s. McEachin vs. Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Tuscaloosa. appealed from the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court. The plaintiff sued for heavy damages, the Tuscaloosa authorities. claiming that five large oaks that had been tender ly cared for. by her mother and her self were uprooted and removed from before her home on a main residence street of the Druids city.
 In deciding the case, MT. Justice Sayre, who wrote the opinion, quoted numerous decisions of other States along the same line. all of which agree with the conclusions of this States tribunal on the right of eminent do- main It was told how, If the property of one had been condemned for a right of way. and afterwards trees were cui from the path and sawn into lumber oI timber. the proceeds should go to the original owner. but the domain which a city exercises over sidewalks and streets carries with it the discretion and legislation to remove trees from sidewalks when 1t would tend to serve the best interests of the city.

REVERSALS IN
 MANY CASES Frank Fowler Gets Third
 Trial. SPECIAL CHARGES REFUSED Never Clear That Alleged Victim Was Really Murdered. nefasai of Important and Pertinent Charges to Jury Gets New
 Trial for win Gaston
 of Morgan County.
SPECIAL CHARGES REFUSED

An astonishing proportion of rever- saIs in criminal cases was recorded yesterday in the long line of decisions handed down by the Supreme Court of Alabama. Nine of twelve such cases met with reversals and the prisoners get new trials. Practically all the heavy sentences were voided.
 The notorious case of Frank Fowler of Houston County. was fendered fur fher notorious, by givng him a third trial for his life on the charge of uxorcide. Thrice a jury must delib- crate on the puzzling question of whether he killed his wife or she died from natural causes. There was heavy sentence on the first trial and on the secnnd he was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to Twenty-Five years in the penitentiary.
 Fowler gets his reversal this time on the ground of refusal tof special charges asked by his counsel. All through the proceedings there seems to be doubt In the minds of the Jus tfces handling the case. whether Fowl CT has ever been fairly and justly an- swered> on his plea that not violence but natural causes worked the death of his wife. It seems that as a re- suit of the decisions to this date more convincing truths must be forthcom- ing of the violent nature of the wo- mans injuries. &-
 Missouri Fowler was found dead by neighbors after midnight March l. 1907. in her home in Houston County. Some witnesses testified that there were bruises on various parts of her 5ody and blue spots on her throat, and that her death followed scenes of al- leged beating by Fowler.
 Because the records in Jim Fowler case do not show that he was tried by special venire of jurors. this pris- oner. appealing from the Walker
