JUDGE BETTS
 DENOUNCES JURY AcquittaI of Steve Bridges Criti-

 Pleaded Self. Defense. '
KILLED BROTHER IN- LAW

Huntsville March 9-(speciad. )-The jury in the case of Steve Bridges, charged with the nurder of Alex Locke, rendered a verdict of not guilty late today. The jury received the worst castigation that has ever been given from the bench in Madison county. Gentlemen of the Jury, Judge Betts said, this is an outrageous verdict It is stench in the nostrils of Justice No man who would render yer dict of this kind is fit to sit on jury in any kind of case" Rules of the court room were broken and the words of the fudge were roundly cheered.
 Judge Betts said. Human life is held too cheap In Madison county"
 The tragedy occurred on Lockes farm February 1, Locke being chopped in the side with an axe by Bridges after they had quarrelee over a dog belonging to the latter
 Joe Gravitt the only eye witness of the tragedy, said that Locke advanced on Bridges with a small willow boslgh, and that Locke kept advancing until the blow was struck.
 The defendant testified that he was hemmed in by a creek, pile of brush a log and a treetop when Locke advanced on him with heavy stick and knocked him down several times. Rising after the last time. he lifted his axe and aimed a blow at his antagonist Locke aimed an- other blow with his stick and tried to ward off the axe with his left hand and the blade struck him a little to the rear of the arm pit, infiicting a wound that resulted in death a few hours later. After the trouble Bridges telephoned deputy sheriff that he would surrender.
 LccAe leaves a widow and several chil- dren. Bridges has a young wife. The tragedy caused q great stir in the north eastern part of .he county, and the court room was crowded with people from that section during the trial. Solicitor James H. Pride was assisted in the prosecution by R. E. Smith, mayor of the city, and Milton Lanier Douglas Taylor. Shelby S. Peasants and Zack Drake appeared as s.torneys for the defense.

WORK ON NEW CHURCH

Bessemer. March 19.-(Special)- )-The newspaper people of Bessemer at an in- formal conference today decided to or ganlze a Press club and a meeting will be held early in the coming week to perfect the plans and elect officers. The press crowd without any organization in last August got out and distributed among the Alabama Press association delegates "The Stork.' and the sheet made most decided hit with all who saw 1t. The boys are firmly of the opin- ion that with an organization they can work better, and be closer to each other. while an annual banquet will bring the citizen and the news man in closer touch and work can be done for mutual inter- est.
 It is announced that a banquet will be given in the spring. and a number of prominent men of the county as well as many business and professional men in Bessemer will sit about the board and enjoy an evening.

HARTMAN HEARING.
Traffic Manager Stubbs Breaks the
 Monotony.

Chicago, March 19.-The advent of James c. Stubbs, traffic manager for the Hartman lines today broke the monotony of the Chicago hearing before Special Ex7 aminer Williams of the governments suit to dissolve the so-called Hartman mer- ger.
 The line of examination, however, did not differ from that pursued with previous witnesses. MT Stubbs read from records of meetings held prior to 1901. quoting his own arguments in favor of plans for re- ducing or doing away with competition. That the placing of the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, and other roads under one control, the government contends, was a move to this end.
 '"The record of those old arguments helps the government great deal, does It not?" smiled c. A. Severance, the attor- ney generals special assistant in this case.
 Ut most assuredly does, said MT. Stubbs.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 19.-(Special.) J.
 The first of a series of three national
 debates on the prohibition question will
 take place in Milwaukee on Friday even
 ing, March 26, between Mayor David S.
 Rose of Milwaukee, and Prof Samuel A.
 Dickie of Albion, Mich. Professor Dickie
 will argue that prohibition so far as it
 relates to the sale of intoxicating liquor
 is right, and Mayor Rose will take the
 negative side and try to show that pro-
 hibition is wrong Later on another de-
 bate on the same subject between the
 same men will probable be held in Chi
 cago. and the third one will probably be
 held in one of the large cities of the
 discussions have not yet been decided
 upon.
 In the three debates which are to be held Professor Dickie will act as the rep- resentative of the National Prohibition
 party. He is president of Albion college in Michigan and is said to be the brightest and ablest prohibition orator in the move ment While Mayor Rose does not rep resent any one but himself. his anti-pro- hibition sentiments are well known throughout the country
 Mayor Rose was recently invited to de- 1 liver lecture at convention at the Model License league in Louisville. It vas during this address that he chal- lenged the National Prohibition party to select representative to debate with him on the prohibition question. On his return home the prohibitionists promptly sent him a letter asking him whether the newspapers had correctly quoted him. and upon his replying that they had. Professor Dickie was immediately chosen, and the three debates were arranged The discussions are attracting great
 deal of attention, not only in prohibition

recent pact of peace. It shows how far Governor Patterson had to stoop, how much Governor Cox had to forgive and matches an infinite condescension with an infinite humility. Of course, there are otlAr details. When Governor Cox was summoned to Nashville some weeks ago, it was not simply for the purpose of falling on somebody's neck or of having somebody fall upon his. There are honors and dignities and offices and substantial rewards to be distributed things that go to heal the hurt that hon. or feels'-and these things were talked of and considered.
 "But, no doubt, the main thing was that Governor Cox agreed to join him. self with Ban Murray, Dune Cooper and Sparrel Hill and aid them in their bat tie for the Holy Cause of local self-gov- ernment'
 By local self-government, Carmack meant the fight against prohibition. The liquor interests led by the governor, de- clared in favor of local option and of letting each community settle the saloon question for itself
 Colonel Cooper upon reading this edl- torial sent the famous message to Car mack: "If my name appears in the Ten nessean again, one of us must die" The warning was delivered to Senator Car mack by ex-State Treasurer Craig. Car mack said that Colonel Coopers threat had made a cessation of the editorials impossible-that if the Tennessean never again used Cooper's name, the public would believe that the paper had been bluffed and 1t would lose caste. So on Monday, November g, the day of the killing. there appeared in the Tennessean this editorial:
 "The Diplomat of the Sweibund."
 'To Major Duncan Brown Cooper who
 wrought the great coalition; who achieved the harmonious confluence of incompati-
 be clements, who welded the pewter handle to the wooden spoon, who grafted the dead bough to the living tree and made it to bloom and bourgeon and bend with golden fruit; who made playmates of the lamb and the leopard and boon 1 companions of the spider and the fly;
 who made soda and vinegar to dwell | placidly in the same bottle and who taught oil and water how they might agree-to Major Duncan Brown Cooper, i the great diplomat of the political Zwei- bund, be all honor and glory forever" 1 What happened next Is history The ! states witnesses say that Carmack was
 shot down from behind, while he was in the act of raising his hat to lady-Mrs. ': Eastman. The Coopers swear that they walked across the street to reason with i Carmack and that he opened fire at once, wounding Robin. who, thereupon and in l self-defense fired the shots which killed
 the editor.
