NEEDLESS ARREST
 oF TWO YOUNG MEN
THEY MERELY ENGAGED IN A
 COMMON PRACTICE.
Though They Are Technically Guilty,
 Their Arrest Has Caused Much Indignation Here.

Upon the arrival here yesterday Phoenix, came to light case without equal in the recollection of a Tempe resident The deputy was armed with warrants for w. D. BrittOn and Bernie Bruce, charging them with the theft Of some l5O0 bricks. Those two young men are both sufficiently well known here that the public will not jump at any conclusion in the matter until the whole story is told. The complainant is Jake Cottrell, the proprietor of the brick yard east of town.
 Mir. Cottrell could not be found yes terday. hence his side of the story can not now be published. but if he has any side to tell at any time he will be given publicity if he desires. Here with is given the story as related yes terday by Mir. BrittOn.
 Mir. Britton, a cement and brick contractor. had the contract for the brick work on the Windes building. A week ago Thursday. running short of brick unexpectedly, MT. Britton acted as any other man in a similar position would have. He has been dO- ing business with MT. Cottrell for a good while and has purchased from him a good many thousand brick. These he has always paid for and he regarded his credit with Mir Cottrell as good. He disliked to send to the brick yard for more brick. knowing that the proprietor was out of town, but upon the suggestion of others working on the same job. he finally decided to do so. Bernie Bruce was sent to the yard and took 1900 brick. These were used in the construction of the building. It was of couse MT. BrittOn's intention to settle with MT. COttrell upon seeing him and the mat ter was given no thought until few days later when the brick man ap- peared upon the scene. Instead of ac- cepting the pay for the brick. he d. rected some rather harsh language

toward Mir. Britton and refused a check O r the cash for the brick that had been used. He threatened legal proceedings and returned to Phoenix. That was on Thursday. The follow ing day Mir. Britton mailed him a check in full and up to yesterday had received no reply from it. The deputy sheriff, however, arrived on the noon train and both young men were ar rested. Mir. Bruce's part in the affair consisted merely in transferring the material from the yard to the build ing hut he came in for his share of the Law.
 There being no justice of the peace here at the present time, the deputy desired that both young men accom- pany him to Phoenix to appear before Justice Johnstone. They were both very busy yesterday and through m attorney. managed to secure a p1s ponement of their appearance until tomorrow
 From tech0i-al standpoint. of course. Mr, Pritt1n i1 guilty as charged, but viewed from a business standpoint. the arrest of inc two young men is uawarrantcd and with out precedent here. l' las been the common practice of contractors here to do exactly as MT. Pritton did and even now a well known firm finds itself in a position identical with Mir. Britton's excepting that no notice of the affair has yet been taken by Mir. Cottrell It is an unfortunate and needless circumstance It hardly seems possible that the matter will be given the serious consideration of the court hut whether it is or not. the two young men. who bear the best of regulations here. have been occasioned the loss of some time and have suffered consider able unpleasant notoriety.

AN EFFORT MADE ID HAVE TIME CHANGED
A Later Train to Phoenix is Much
 Desired.

It is understood that an effort is be- ing made on the part of south side residents to have an alteration made in the time table that is to go into effect on the local roads day after to- morrow. It is hoped that the last train to Phoenix in the day. which will be run according to the new card a little after o'clock, may be set back to a later hour. There is a train at 3 o'clock to Phoenix and another two or three hours later instead of an hour would be much more convenient for the public.

HOW NOTICE WAS SERVED.

Some time ago a very rich old Italian lady died, leaving to her heirs colossal fortune. She was very pious. and. first of all. laid upon these heirs the obligation to remit to the vatican 2.000.000 lire. says Le Cri de Paris. The heirs were greatly em- barrassed by this bequest. They ob- tained a decision which should put the vatican in possession of this leg acy, but neither the pope nor Car dinal Merry del Val would accept it A bailiff was charged with the duty of giving notice of the Judgment to the holy see. He was unable to place this paper in the hands of Plus x. or in the hands of his secretary. He could not approach the holy father and entrance to the apartments Of Monsignore del Val was prohibited.
 He then devised a scheme. He learned that the cardinal had gone to bathe in Lake Bracciano, some distance from Rome. At the mo- ment when the papal secretary reap peared on the surface of the water. after a plunge. the bailiff was before the ministerial officer to place the paper under the nose of his emi- hence. But the cardinal, who Is an excellent swimmer. made dive. dis appeared and next took refuge in a bath house, closing the door behind him.
 A half hour later his eIninence was breakfasting at a restaurant. The repast ended, he asked for his bill The garcon brought it to him and upon the same plate the cardinal found the official paper. The gar con was no other than the bailiff His last trick had succeeded. The paper was served

SOME ACCURATE FACTS
 ABOUT ARREST OF PHILLIPS
Sheriff Weldon Denies Deputy Accom-. panied Birmingham De-
 teeffves

Sheriff J. W. Weldon has written a letter to The Advertiser correcting cer- tain erroneous details which had been furnished The Advertiser reporter in connection with the alleged Kidnapping of the Phillips boys of Fillmore County, by Birmingham detectives, who were later arrested for their part in the af- fair. Sheriff Weldon devotes, himself In his letter to setting forth exactly the part his ofiice played in the affair and the subsequent events, although neither The Advertiser nor any other newapaper published anything criticis- ing the Fillmore sherif's office.
 Mir. Weldon says in his letter that no deputy connected with his ofIlce ac- companied the Birmingham detective to the Phillips home. He says, fur ther, that he has no deputy named Dove. He says, further, that he did not swear out the warrant against the Birmingham men. This was done be- fore Probate Judge H. J. Lancaster by the father of the young men who had been whisked away in an automo- bile. Going further, he said he did not come to Montgomery but sent his deputy. r. L. Austin. The part his of flee played in the affair was the serv- ing of a regular warrant sworn out before the Probate Judge and this was served by one of his deputies.
 Fillmore County has been aroused over the affair and 1t Is expected that great deal will be heard of 1t in the future. It will be recalled that the Phillips brothers, who are members oi a leading family of the County, were called out of bed at their country home 6 pistol. put to their heads and made to enter an automobile, which. hurried them to Montgomery. They Were mol even permitted to speak to their fath. CT.
 Their father hurried to Wetumpka however, and swore out a warrant against the two detectlvesy Haynes and Latham. charging them with kldnap ping. This warrant was served IT Montgomery, and the detectives wer, required to give bond for their future appearance.

INSURANCE REPORT
BULLETIN OF ALABAMA DEPART
 MENT FOR DECEMBER.
List of Withdrawals and New Agents. Tells of Washington Life's Re- insurance Scheme and
 Other Items.


 The December bulletin of the Ala bama Insurance Department was is- sued yesterday by Deputy Commits sioner A. c. Sexton, containing. as usual, the transactions of interest which came under the observation of the department.
 Among other things 1t was noted that the Washington Life Insurance Company, which carries risks in this State to the amount of $1,145,931, has reinsured it's policy liabilities with the Pittsburg Life and Trust Com pany, and will immediately cease writing business in Alabama. Atten- tion is called to the fact that the Pitts burg Life and Trust Company is not licensed to transact business in this State, and that our law is silent as to the right of company previously authority to do business in this State to reinsure it's business in an unau- thorized company. Therefore, 1t is presumed that there will sbe no inter ference by the department with the collection of premiums and other busi- ness of the Pittsburg Life in Ala bama.
 Again the appeal is made by the de- partment to all parties receiving the bulletin to furnish the Commissioner with the names of all unauth orized fire insurance companies that may be obtained. which companies are writing bushes on property in this State. The information Is desired in order that property owners may be notified that they. take such insurance at their own risk.
 Deputy Commissioner Sexton said yesterday that the status of the policy holders in the Mutual Reserve Life of New York was the same as when they were last advised by the department. That is to say, the master appointed by the New York court still has under consideration the list of policyholders who bave any claim on the funds of the company at the time the receiver ship started. IA
 It was estimatSd by Receiver Sexton of the Atlanta Birmingham, Fire Insur- ance Company that the recent order of Federal Judge Newman of Georgia, compelling those companies who re- insured the risks of the defunct South ern Company to settle with the re- ceiver on the basis of 100 per cent, will result in putting several thous- and dollars into his hands for distri- button among claimants. There is no way of estimating the exact amount that will accrue from this order until Major Sexton can visit Atlanta and get hold of the reinsurlng figures The creditors who will participate In this fund will be all classes, except the | losses in the San Francisco disaster. These latter have already received their settlement.
