YEAKS AT PRATVIILE
lARGB AUDIENCE HEARS MR.
 RUsHTON.
1antgonaery Man Dtscusses the AmenA- Dene Deg0se an AutauBa County AuAaencs-Discusses Divine
 cau e JuaGe weaklsy.

Prattviiie. Oct. --(spscial. )---Taliy 800 people gathered in the court honse here this evening to hear Hon. Ray Rushtou. Of Nontgomery. speak against the proposed eonstlautionai amendment It was an audience made up of the rep Tesentatiye people of Prattvilie. and there were at least fno women present.
 Mf Rushton told hes audience that he had not come here to abuse anybody or to say harsh things about tho Leg 1siature. Neither did he propose to disuugs prohibition or the Fuller bill. It was one of the laws of the State, he said, and he was going to tell every body to observe 1t.
 The speaker launched into his sub Ject and spoke of the amendmcnt as an attempt to attack the sovereign rights of the people. He thoroughly ex- piained both sections of the proposed amendment to his audience passing quickly over the first one as being un- important and meaningless, and dweli- ing almost entirely on the Arcond, which he said was the nrst time in his- tory that there he'd been any attempt made to make any material change in the bill of rights.
 Mr. Rushton was frequently inter- rupted by the applause of the audience. and caused much laughter when he said that Judge Weakley had stated that he had received divine call to drive wiiiskey out of the state of Ala bama
 Well, there is nothing wrong in his saying so,' the speaker saiS but do not believe it.'
 Later on he added that there was no telling to what lengths man would go who believed he had a divine call.
 The meeting was presided over by J. N. Tucker, who asked all those who believed with MT. Rushton to rise. There were fully two-thirds of the au- dience who stood up. and of those who remained seated. the most of them were the women.

SUPREME COURT HoNORS
 MEMORY OF DEAD MEMBER

Washington. Oct. 25--out of respect to the memory of the late Justice Ru- fus W. Peckham. the Supreme Court of the United States today, after a session which did not continue for more than two minutes, adjourned un- til next Monday.
 The announcement of Justice Peck hams Ssath was made by Chief Justice Fuller. who said:
 ''It Is with deep sorrow that an- nounce the passing of our eminent colleague and dear friend. Mir. Justice Peckham. He died at his summer home near Altamont, only yesterday at S:15 o'clock. The court will transact no business. but will adjourn until next Monday"
 Simple as were the Chief Justices words, they created a profound im- pression. The fact that they were spoken slowly and uttered in an un- dertone which rendered them almost inaudible. added to tn solemnity of the occasion and this effect was great ly heightened by the solemn visages and sombre official garp of the jus tices.
 All of MT. Peekham's surviving as. aociates were in their seats except Justice Moody, who is i'll at his home. in Massachusetts.
 Later in the term the court will fur ther oficially notice Justice Peckham's death.

PASSPORTS ARE DENIED
ZELAYA' WILL NOT GUARANTEE
 AMERICAN PROTECTION.
Neither fs He Willing to Give Enemies Chance to Secure Information of Operations of Gov-
 ernment Fcrces.

Washington, Oct. 25.--President Ze- laya, of Nicaragua, has denied pass ports to Americans to leave Managua by the north. This news reached the State Department today from the Amer ican consulate at Managua. the capital. The Department has taken no action in the matter.
 It appears from the brief dispatch from the consulate that passports to Americans were not refused when de- parturc was to be made from the Pa cihc coast.
 Travel north from Managua would be Into the territory of the insurrectiOn- tsts. and it Is presumed that President Zeiaya was not only unwilling to guar antee protection to Americans travel ing in this territory but desired to pre- vent information about the situation at Managna being carried to his eng mics.
 Another sisnificant statement in the dispatch was that it was rumored that General Alfaro had left Managua to participate In revolution in Salvador. This was the first af1cial indication that serious trouble may be expected in that country.
 A dispatch from Consul Moffstt at Bluefields. announced that the revolu- fionists in conformity with the request of the American government. had sur rendered the steamer Yulu to It's own CTS. the Emery Company. The reyolu- tionists took charge of this vessel. as- snming that 1t had passed into the hands of the Zeiaya government. While 1t had been purchased by the govern ment, the American company still re- tained 1t for their use.
