HARD LUCK STORIES
 AND ANSWERS TO I'll EM

Acting Recorder Lowe yesterday heard the hard luck stories of mum Der of supplicants at the bar of City Justice yesterday afternoon.
 Otto Fuller and |. Ferreo appeared. charged with fighting and disorderly conduct. Ferreo disregarded the usual custom of securing 8 lawyer and was his own attorney.
 He tried to show that Fuller inter fered in the family affairs of the clan Ferreo and received what was coming to him when he came into collision with the fists of Ferreo. The embryo attorney showed more of zeal than legal Knowledge and was called to order several times by the recorder.
 He defended himself so well that the court found him guilty and fixed his fine at $10 and costs.
 E. Kakaris. a Greek fruit stand proprietor, was fined g and costs for encroaching upon the sidewalk with the wares of his stand,
 John Sullivan. alias Trout" negro, proved himself entirely too slick a fish for the police when he defeated the charge of vagrancy against him.
 The docket was cleared by the dis missal of ten eases of long standing. Most of the dismissed cases were for violation of the sanitary laws. and the defendants have complied with the re- quirements of the city ordinances.

Spende Few Hours In Montgomery And Says Great Progress Made at Auburn-Fears For
 Tenn.


 Inbued with the enthusiasm that comes with the satisfactory progress of his institution. President c. c. Thach of the Alabama Polytechnic In- stitute at Auburn, was in Montgomery yesterday. Auburn several weeks ago broke all records for attendance.
 We have 730 students now" said Dr. Thach yesterday. with a larger proportion of old men, 415. than ever before, as well as larger percentage of new men. And with that we have been forced to refuse dozens of appli- cations for entrance because of their failure to meet the standard"
 Dr. Thach told of the installation of lights and sewerage system in the town of Auburn by the students. The plant which supplies the college and dormitory with electricity also lights the town and is maintained by the students.
 The Auburn president was not an. tirely sanguine as to the result of to- days foot ball game between Auburn and Vanderbilt, but he is as full of enthusiasm for the game this season as any of his undergraduates. He re- mained in Montgomery for a few hours and returned to Auburn last night.

MANY MINISTER'S WILL NOT VOTE Falue to Pay Poll Tax the
 Cause. ATTORNEY GENERAL BESIEGED Inquiries from Clergmen in Doubt
 Are Received. Probably Ne Other Glass of Workers sf Entire State win Furnish So Large Proportion of Disen-
 franchised Men--One
 lIan's Case.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BEsIECED

1t is probable that the ministers of Alabama have never had such cause to regret the migratory nature of their calling as during the present year |. More preachers are disfranchised ana barred from voting in the coming con- stitutional amendment election, propor- tionately, than men of any other class or profession.
 Attorney General Garber has receiv- ed many appeals since the beginning of the amendment campaign. asking his opinion as to whether this preacher or that one can vote.
 Most of the anxious queries come from minister's who were moved from one county to another during the last year Some want to know if, by re- turning to the county of last years res idence, they may vote; others ask about the length of residence in one county necessary to bestow franchise privi- leges.
 The Attorney General. although not required as the States legal adviser to answer the appeals which come 10 him from private citizens. has replied to many of tho letters. Yesterday 3 half-dozen of his letters were to minis ters. to all of whim he gave the inform ation that they were ineligible to vote. ters, to all of whom he gave the inform afion reached the age of 45 in 1901, but after October 1. He had been informed that he could not vote on November 29 because he should have paid the 1901 tax. He had not considered the sui frage matter before, as he had ex- perienced no desire or intention to vote.
 He wrote to ascertain if his failure to pay the single years tax will keep him from the polls. although lfe Is 6S years old. He was informed that the 1901 tax was due before he was 45 years old, and that the failure to pay 1t rendered him ineligible.
 Ministers who rarely voted hereto fore will cast their ballots this year. If they are eligible: there will be more preachers to vote on November g than Tn any previous State election. it is thought. a.e
 Poll tax inquiries from every class of citixen constitute a big portion of the voluminous mail of the Attorney Gen eral The State wants to vote. every man of it, is the evidence borne out by the letters.

PRINT BEAR STORY.
Relations Between America and Japan
 Said to Be SC aimed.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 22.-An article on the relations between Japan and America appeared in a semi official newspaper today though in the same column 1t is pointed out that the Rus sian government wholly disclains re- sponsibility for the accompanying matter.
 The article speaks of the relations as strained and says that while on the surface the reason for this situation appears to be controversy over the question of the open door in Manchu- ria, the real cauSe of the friction is the innate hostility of the American people towards the Japanese. This hostility. the article says, is influenc- ed somewhat by economic motives but principally by the problem of inter- racial assimilation.
 The American government, 1t adds.
