WEAKLEY ENTERS
THE RACE TODAY

The announcement of the candidacy of
Judge Samuel D. Weakley for governor
is expected today. While it has been
known as a positive fact that he was the
chosen candidate of the administration
and would make the race, he has prepared
q statement of his position and will prob
ably make it public today.
1t is also learned officially that
Speaker A. II. Carmichael will be the
candidate on the Weakley ticket for lieu
tenant governor. He has consented to
make the race, but his announcement will
come later
Judge Weakley has arranged with EN-
ference of committees after September 10
to arrange dates for joint debates on the
constitutional amendment throughout the
state. The first one will probably be at
Sheffield September %, when the people
of the country round will gather for big
time.
In the meantime the campaign of II. S.
D. Mallory for governor and John l..
Parker for lieutenant governor is pro-
crossing. While they are not the candi-
dates of the administration, they have the
Endorsement of clubs and organizations
throughout the state.
Now that it is evident that three prohi-
bition candidates will be in the field, the
other being Walter d. Seed, the pros
poets for a spirited campaign between
this and next August, the probable time
of the primary, are exceedingly bright.

NOBLE VERY LOW
AT ST. VINCENTS

Ed Noble, young man of North Bir-
mingham, will probably die from injuries
received Thursday night in an accident
near Vanderbilt furnace. Noble and a
friend were driving In buggy near the
Louisville and Nashville crossing near
Vanderbilt when their vehicle was struck
by a Louisville and Nashville yard en-
CINE. The horse was immediately killed,
the carriage demolished and Noble and
his friend thrown to the ground.
Shaw & Sons ambulance was called
and Noble was carried to st. Vincent's
hospital. The young mans statements
were not coherent, and all that could
be learned of him was that he lived in
North Birmingham and that his COM
panion, who was not badly injured, Is
named John. 1t was thought at the time
that Mobiles injuries were not very Sc
rious, as the only visible hurts were a
cash in the forehead and bruise on
the side of his body.
1t developed later, however, that the
young man had sustained Internal in
juries which may prove fatal. At 2
o'clock this morning it was reported at
the hospital that he was very low and
not expected to live until daylight.
Noble Is we'll known young man about
Birmingham and his death will be re-
GREETED by large number of friends.

JEMIS0N HAS NO
BUILDING PLAN

Considerable interest is being manifested
relative to the matter of the erection of
a new building on the site of that burned
Monday night on First avenue between
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. The
building, 1t will be recalled was almost
totally destroyed at loss of approx
mately 100000 and an improvement of
the property will call for the erection
of an entirely new structure.
Robert Jemison, Jr., who represents the
owners of the property, has just returned
to the city after spending short time
in New York, and 1t is understood that
plans for the improvement of the prop
erty have not been made.
1t is understood, however. that new
building will be erected at compare
lively early date, although 1t is reported
that plans will be held up temporarily
pending a decision of the owners of the
American Trust and Savings bank cor
ner relative to the improvement of that
property. :.
For some time it has been understood
that the bank would put up skyscraper
on its property, the southeast corner OF
First avenue and Twentieth street. and
for this reason, 1t is reported, plans for
the Improvement of the adjoining prop
erty will be held up temporarily.

Peculiar Sections OF Fuller Bill
Are NozV Causing Much Discussion

The commission laws make it possible
to deliver a cask of beer to Birming
ham citizen on a legitimate order. Then
it is considered by some lawyers a vio-
lation of this principle to arrest driver
attempting to deliver the beer to the res
idence of that citizen.
The prohibition forces expect hard
fight on this point and many of them
express doubt about their position, open
ly declaring that the effect of the section
will be materially weakened.
Here are the sections of the Fuller bill
bearing on the matter:
Sec. 8. That the delivery of liquors or
beverages prohibited by the law of the
state to be manufactured, sold or other
wise disposed of, In or from any store,
shop, warehouse, boat or other vessel or
vehicle of any kind. or any shanty or
tent, or any building or place used for the
purpose of traffic, or any dwelling house
or dependency thereof, II any part of the
same is used as a public eating house,
grocery or other place of common resort,
shall be deemed prima facie evidence of
a sale, or other unlawful disposition"
Sec. 90. 1t shall be unlawful for any
person, firm, association or corporation
TO receive for storage, distribution or on
consignment for another prohibited
liquors and beverages, or any of them, or
to have or maintain any warehouse or
other place for the receiving, storing or
distribution of liquors for another, and
any person violating this section shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.

person, firm, corporation or association,

1--WE ordered a cask of beer by freight.
How can get it homer"
This is a question which Is worrying
al rsople.
Several have attempted to send it to
their homes by dray. and have seen
their beer confscated and the driver ar
rested.
The Fuller bill undertakes to say that
a man must carry it home himself. That
is, II he is not so lucky as to own a
horse or an auto, he must carry the cask
home on his back.
When the question was put to a num-
Der of attorneys yesterday they said that
while they had not studied the Fuller
bill closely they do not believe that the
section will stand No doubt some of them
said, the bill will be attacked on this
ground
The authors of the bill declare that the
interstate commerce laws control only
until the delivery at the freight house,
that the railroad does not contract to
deliver the article to the residence and
that hence it is within the province of
the state law to prevent its being hauled
by other than its owner. They say fur
Their that the freight shipment, coming
always in large lots, is invariably intend
ed for sale in blind tigers, while the ex-
press package addressed and intended for
the residence, is harmless.
1t is pointed out, however, that the bill
plainly gives the right to have liquors
at home, but makes it felony to get
them there in the ordinary manner. This,
by many, is called violation of personal
rights

SENATOR HAMMER
HEARS OF 'CUSS|NG'
People So IncenSed They Do
Not Discriminate
SPEAKS OF THE OUTLOOK
Says Time Not Ripe for Announce
nent of Local Option Candi-
dates-Fighting Amendment
Enough for the Present.

Ed D. Hammer of Etowah, one of the
10 senators who voted against the adop-
ton of the Fuller '1iauorp bill. and
against the agitation to put prohibition
in the organic law, was in Birmingham
yesterday and last night.
Senator Hammer is looking forward to
a live campaign prior to the voting on
the constitutional amendment. He be-
ileves that those opposed to the eonsti-
tutional addition will be able to win. in
case much work is done. He intends TAX
ing hand in the fight.
In order that the new laws might be
given a chance" stated the senator last
night. I'VE favored postponing the con-
stitutional amendment election until oc-
tober, 1910. But those on the other side
didn't agree with us. They had the bull
by the TAIL, as it were, and didn't care
to turn loose their grip.
And we went too far. The other dav
was in conversation with a travelling
salesman-a gentleman who goes all over
the state, and who. after travelling II
years knows the people and the territory.
He opened the conversation by remark
ing on the fact that we were being
eussed from one end of the state to
the other
The people,, he said, the business
people, are tired of the continual aeita-
ton of the alleged lawmakers and are
calling for peace.
II laughingly informed the gentleman
that I should not be cussed.' as had
done what I could to check the course
of the majority. He rejoined that the
people, so incensed were they, were maxi
ing no distinction between the goats and
the sheep, and that it was another case
of old dog Tray"
Senator Hammer was interested in the
report that Judge Weakley will probably
make his announcement for governor To-
day, and that Speaker Carmichael will
probably run on the ticket with him.
"Heh ASKED WHO, IN ms opinion, would
run on the local option ticket, he ex-
pressed doubt.
"At any rate" he added. its TOO early
for the local optionists to announce. We
have another fight on hand-against the
constitutional amendment-and 1 do not
believe it wise to run two campaigns at
the same time
The ten senators who voted against the
administration bills have become known
as the ten immortals" on account of
what Is termed their daring to run into
the very jaws of defeat and humiliation.
These ten were Thomas of Barbour.
Blackmon of Calhoun, King of Marengo
Moody of Tuscaloosa, Spragins of Nor.
gan, Gamble of Pike, Hamburger of Mo-
bile, w. T. Love of Decatur, David Whit
of Coosa, and Ed Hammer of Etowah.

Negro Who Has Gnfessed
Way Habe Aided Haxt0n

The sheriff's office here has received
notification OF the apprehension in Mo-
bile of a negro giving his name as Eugene
WILSON, who is reported to have con-
fessed to have had a part in the robbery
and murder Of white man in the rolling
mill quarters of Birmingham three years
ago.
Wilson, according to the information
received from the Mobile authorities,
states that he has forgotten the name of
the white man who was murdered, but
claims that his companion, at the time of
the holdup, shot and killed the victim, Sc
curing 81 40 and a sack of tobacco.
Sheriff Higdon states that from the in
formation received he has been unable to

Greek Robbed And Tied
By Negro Highhaymen

While Fergus McCarty and a party of
friends were out automobiling early last
night they found bound to a tree on the
road between Owenton and Graymont
Greek named John Nicholas, who claimed
that he had been held up on the road,
robbed and bound to the tree by negro
highwaymen.
Nicholas, who is quite well known to
the authorities, states that he was driv
ing in his wagon down the road toward
Owenton when the highwaymen stepped
out of dark place and halted him. He
declares that they robbed him of SIT. 80
and ordered him to get down off of his
wagon. The Greek complied with the
orders of the highwaymen, wherewith
they took rope out of his wagon,

to believe that the man now being held in
the Gulf City may be the partner of
Henry Thaxton, who was hung here some
time ago for the robbery committed In the
rolling mill district.
Thaxton. 1t will be recalled, was taken
into court, tried by a jury, convicted and.
sentenced to hang, the trial and the time
consumed by the jury in Its deliberations
occupying less than four hours. Through
out his incarceration and up to the time
Of his death he protested his innocence,
but admitting having participated In the
robbery, he stated that his partner,
negro called Red" did the shooting.
Colonel Higdon is lead to believe that
the negro now being detained in Mobile
may be the man whom Thaxton claimed
shot and killed the white man in the
rolling mill district.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-08-28

marched him off to the side of the road
and tied him securely to a sapling.
Soon afterward, 1t seems, Mr.. McCarty
and his party drove along and found the
Greek. After releasing him the matter
was Immediately reported to the sheriff S
office, Nicholas going to the jail himself.
He showed no signs of having been done
bodily harm.
Deputies were promptly dispatched to
the scene of the reported robbery, the
bloodhounds being carried along. The
officers state that they made thorough
investigation of the case and exercised
every effort to get the dogs up a trial
The hounds did not strike trail, how
ever, though the deputies state that every
foot of ground in the immediate vicinity
of the robbery was covered carefully
