 Justice Grammar said:
 Senator Stone, have travelled a great deal in my time. l can fully appreciate the treatment that you received at the hands of Brown who. 1t has been shown, was discourteous in the extreme. I feel that you had sufficient provocation and that you were absolutely justified in repri- manding and striking Brown. I dismiss you.'
 The crowd applauded until the magls- trate rRpped sharply with his gavel for order.
 Senator Stone was surrounded by con- graduating friends, among them being Murray VanDiver the treasurer of Mary land, and others, as he left the house in which he had spent a most uncomfort- able hour or two last night

It was not brought as he had requested and he sent Brown back to correct his mis- take. Still the order was not properly filled and Brown, when reprimanded, was impudent. The senator's order for lunch con, he said he found on investigation. waited in the kitchen until after all the other guests had been served and had fin- ished eating.

I was angry at being made to wait so long and when I reprimanded the wait Or he told me to wait my turn. and then I would be served. I saw the food was cooked and getting cold. You black dog, I said, You are trying to show your re- sentiment Then I reached over and slapped him in the face.'
 Following the testimony of Senator Stone Magistrate Grammar delivered the decision quoted above.
 Asked as he was leaving whether he intended to take any action against the, railroad or the Pullman company, the senator said he did not.

Smuggling Is Too Costly.

San Antonio, Tex, July 2.-That the price demanded for smuggling Chinese into this country has about reached the prohibitive stage Is the information ob- tained by Inspector Berkshire, who has charge of immigration affairs along the border of Hexico. Five hundred dollars, 1t Is learned is the minimum charge for the services of those engaged in aiding Chinese to enter, while the first demand Is double that amount. But few succeed in passing, 1t Is declared, because of the increase in the force of guards, while a still closer watch on the ports will prob ably result from the visit recently of Commissioner O'Keefe to the border.

Puzzle question-who Is boss of the Little Rock ball team-Mike Finn or Jack O'Connor?

 Owners.

The Modern Way Is To Long Distance Telephone

The Long Distance Bell Tele- phone is playing an important part in revolutionizing modern business methods. It Is used con. stantly between near and distant points for business and social pur- poses, and the Bell System is so extensive and so well maintained that business transaction by Long Distance Telephone is cheaper, more satisfactory and is accomplished in less time than by any other method. The Bell sys- tenn reaches all important points in Alabama, and the south and throughout the country. Modern business men, as a rule, are inter- ested more in results than in the means by which they are secured. When a business man in Birming ham tells "Long Distanceo that he wishes to speak to particular party in New York, he assumes. as a matter of course, and very rightly, that the party will be on the line in very short while.
 This accomplishment, however simple 1t may appear, involves d large force of efficient employees and utilizes an enormous eouip- ment investment. It is only pos slble through the organization of the Bell System working in abso- lute harmony, to furnish a com prehensive telephone service. Each Bell Telephone, whether in
 
 office or residence, is part of this system, and any Bell Tele- phone subscriber can sit in his home or office and talk to a party at Bell Telephone in any city far or near. This is convenience which no other agency affords.
 The points shown on the &C., companying map are only few of those in constant telepaonic communication with Bi1ninc- ham. The rates are for a three
 minute talk. There is a charge for each additional minute, and all rates are subject to change with out notice. To secure other rates. call "Long Distance.

8. 8. MANTEO
IN HURRICANE
WAS ANCHORED NEARLY
HOURS AWAITING oPPORTUN-
TTY TO PROCEED HERE.

Among the vessels which were
caught out at sea in the hurricane
which lashed the gulf to a fearful
fury early Monday morning was the
steamship ManteO. Leaving Mobile
at o'clock with a good passenger
list on Sunday night, the vessel had
reached the outskirts Of the bay, and
had entered the gulf proper about
ten miles, when, at two o'clock in the
morning, when the boat was hours
out of Mobile and 5 hours out Of Pen
sacola, the full fury of the storm
broke. Great white crested waves
whipped and dashed over the deck,
while 1t was impossible to see but
few feet away from the boat. The
wind whistled and beat upon the sides
of the ship, while the roar Of the sea
shut out all other sound for the time
being.
Turning back into the bay again.
Captain Mclaughlin brought his ship
to anchor, where, for nearly twelve
hours she lay under the same cOndi-
tiOns.
On Monday afternoon 1t was de-
cided to return to Mobile and during
luII in the storm, the trip was be-
gun. Some distance out of the port,
the pilot boat was picked up and
towed on toward Mobile, ratings hav-
ing been smashed and other damages
suffered during this procedure.
Arrival in Mobile.
Upon the arrival in Mobile. ugly
hurricane signals were being display
ed, and, Kidding herself OF all Of her
passengers, the Manteo Joined other
vessels who slid down the coast line
and anchored just behind the island
in expectancy of the big gale. The
Tarpon left on schedule time, anchor

in Pensacola several hours later yes

night, leaving for Panama City early
this morning.
Captain Mclaughlin was formerly
master of transport ships between
Hong Kong and San Francisco. has
had world wide experience as
mariner. His act in seeking shelter
with the Manteo at Mobile. then, on
Monday night was the signal for like
action among the smaller vessels in
the harbor, with the result that quite

the night.
