JUSTICES HARD HIT
ARE sHoRN or THEIR CRIMINAL
 yuRxsDrCrFoN.
Mobile Case |. Acted Upon in An
 Opinion Handed Down Ny
 The State Supreme Court.

By e decision handed down in, the Supreme Court yesterday in the case lof William Spuriock, ell justices or the peace are shorn of their criminal Jurls-
 diction in the city of Mobile and in Bir- Imingham.
 It is cited in the opinion that the code of 1907 makes a uniform Jurisdiction for all justices of the peace who were at that times exercising criminal juris- Idiction. s There Is 8 distinction drawn between Justices of the peace. exercising crimi- hal Jurisdiction apd those who have been shorn of such, The Supreme Court hefa that the latter are not pro- vided by the new code. with rein statement of any Jurisdiction previous lly taken away.
 The case of Spurlock was one In
 which the negro was committed to jail by Justice Hermann. Attorney J. B. JeDlxins brought habeas corpus pro- Iceedings before Judge Browne, in the Circuit Court for the release of the prisoner on the ground that the jus tices were without criminal jurisdic- ton and the negro was released. The state appealed and the decision yesterday affirmed Judge Browne,s de- |ctsion. and as e result many Justices are cut off from sentencing prisoners in
 the future.

GRADES OF COTTON
C0zzsziTTEE MAKES REPORT TO
 SECRETARY WILSON.
Experts Estahlfnh Standard of Cfas- saslration of Staple, But the Rec ammendafions Are Net Yet
 Approved.

Washington, Feb 4--Reeommending that the standard of the different grades of cotton as fixed by them be adopted as the oficial classification of the government, the committee of ex- pert cotton ciassifers designated by the Secretary of Agriculture to assist him in establishing a standard have made their report to the latter.
 The committee has made up types representative of the nine different grades to be designated middling fair, strict good middling. good iniddiing, strict YnfddiihK, msddifng. strict low middling, low midd1ing. strict good or Slinary, and good ordinary, to be the official Btandard.
 The Accommodation as maoe thal Fl view Of the confusion that might arise in case the standards were promul- gated at once, that they should not go into effect until September I, 1910. ~ ia afan recoYiiiiiendeds that efforts should he made to secure the cooperation ot foreign exchanges in connection "itn the standards. a.
 The further recommendation ID nna1e that Congress enact legislation penai' s.snr anyone tampering with the st ts ,ssiards which are to be kept lockeo ,,y, al the Department of Agriculture.
 Secretary wilson still has the mort of the committee under aoVis0 ment. -. ...4 .s tha
 The belief was expressed that as sso ss result of an exception Of the 1s,.s of this ana foreign countries the IeAs. confuston would arise to the cotton btsIuess by adopting classincation oA cotton that was acceptable to all TOT eIsn consumers, but, owing to the ac tion of Congress, the committee touno it necesary to confine itself 70 stSteo names in use in this country.
 The standaids finally recomnlenueu ara those in use in practically every dav,a hueiness throughout the greater part of the cotton belt, and are the standarda accepted in commerclal nrac actica between this country ana Eurone. The characteristics recosniz- ee in the estimates of the grahes are those generally used in the trade ~ the present time. .la
 It was the expressed wlsh tne et all times maintain the strictese supervision of the preparation or the staudards and that the standards pre- uare5 should be safeguarded in every rav bv legislation to prevent their be- ing handled or tampered with:
 Tt was strongly urged that the steos immediately be taken 10 secure the concufrehce of foreign exchanges tn these Standards and owing to the fact that on the exchanges in Amer lea transactions are being made in con- tracts fully a year ahead. 1t was be- lIeyed in order to avoid confusion the standards certified should not go into use of the trade prior to the time in- dicated.
 It was pointed out that 1t would pc l a basis of sales in the middle of the cotton season. and that they could not be used for the coming season without great injustice and confusion.
 In making a cotton standard, the committee acted by authority of Con gress.

Following few words of alterca- tion in the ofice of Governor Conner. an affray was started in the corridor of the state Capitol yesterday at about noon between ]. H.

Nunne1ee while the two were being separated by State Auditor Brandon. The efforts of the State Auditor and ". E. Fort secretary to the Governor prevented the continuation of the fight
 The difncnity. which had its sincep- ton in ii1-feeIing of long standing. started when Mir. Waldo presented to the secretary a bill for about SIS for afncial printing done under. contract, to be checked over.
 Mr. NunneIee. in checking the amounts of printing named, announced cause of the price charged. which he declared excessive. He was told that the price had been fixed by the con. tract. and was none of his business. He had merely to check the work done, the Secretary of State would attend to me prfce.N as
 From this parry a loud remark by Mir. Nunnelee came and, in view of the fact that the office was occupied by spectators, Mir. Waldo. it is stated, re- quested Mfr. Nunnelee to step out in the hall and settle the matter.
 Reaching the hall. indications of light were apparent. Auditor Brandon and ". E. Fort stepped between the sbe1iigerents. Over the shoulder of the peacemakers Mir. Nunnelee struck Mir. Waldo Then the active interference came, and the continuation of the fight was prevented when Mir Waldo was held, to keep him from retaliating, and thus making c serious affair of the quarrel [
 Mr. Nunnelee was instructed to 70. K" the amounts named on the bill without reference to price. as that was fixed and the matter was closed by the peacemakers, who stood by to smooth over all differences.

LETS WHITW0RTHGO
JUROR IS EXCUSED FROM TRIAL.
 OF COOPER.
Court Not safinfed With Remark He Made About Governor Patterson.
 states lawyers Enter Into VfnaRnnla RRnfeal.


 Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 4.--When court opened this morning for the purpose of drawing a new venire for the trial of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper Robin J. Cooper and John D. sharp for the murder of former Senator E W. CarmaclS, Judge HartSsaid:
 There haze been intimations thai the jury list has been tempered with.
 T wish to say that the jury box from which the names are drawn is in the custody of Circuit Clerk Lewis Hit. The names In 1t were placed there two years ago. 1t remains sealed and is controlled by Hit, who was Carmack's campaign manager"
 "I make this statement in justice to every one concerned"
 Judge Hart seemed to feel very deeply the insinuation that there was an effort made to get men on the panel friendly to the defendants. Very few if any in the room had heard of such a charge, which was sent to the judge in the form of clipping from an out of town paper. The court then drew the new venire and sent for Juror Whitworth. The latter was asked to explain his re- mark that he was against Governor Patterson.
 "I said I was against him because of his abuse of the pardoning power and in turning criminals loose.''
 Judge Anderson, of the defense cross examined the juror
 whitworth declared that he would much prefer to escape service but de- nied any bias.
 The court then briefly reviewed the charge He held that the claim that the Juror had said that the defendants should be hanged was controverted On the second charge. that he had said that Governor Patterson had a hand in the killing, the judge held that the juror did not deny 1t specifi- cally enough.
 "Therefore." the court concluded. q deem 1t best to excuse. Mir. Whitworth from the jury"
 The State objected strenuously and declared that the courts action would discredit and disgrace Whitworth.
 Judge Hart hastened to say that there was no ground for such a state ment.
 The State continued to fight the decision and in lengthy speechel sought to change 1t without avail.
 Court then adjourned until Monday at g a. m., when the efforts to secure two more jurors will be resumed.
