LOTTERIES At LAST

MAYBE FOR TWO WEEKS
HEARING IN JUSTICE COURT
YESTERDAY. I

The three players who were arrest
ed in Frank Grussi's cigar store Wed.
neSday evening on charge OF gam
bling, were bound over to the grand
jury by Justice Goodman at the con
clusion Of their hearing yesterday AZ.
ternoon. They were Max Stral. A.
Anderson and l., NJ, Carlson, all well
known citizens. reputable and with
many friends who are disposed 10
look upon the whole matter as a sort
Of a Joke.
The matter is a joke although il
may appear a little TOO bad that sew.
eral reputable citizens have to bear
the laugh and the brunt OF il.
The evidence yesterday showed that
the men were playing cards, They
were playing for cigars, Such was
the evidence. II was clear. conclusive
and not eontradicted, No effort was
made to show that there was any
gambling in the accepted sense e
that term. II was friendly little
game of cards to while away an hour
or two. The money on the table. all
the evidence showed. was change
that had been returned either when
the players paid for cigars, or, when
one OF the three had bought a bar OF
chocolate.
The court room was cleared OF
spectators before the opening OF the
hearing at the request OF the assist.
ant prosecuting attorney Mr..
Brownell, The first witness. who was
put on by the prosecution, was Jay
McManamna, who was reading pa
per in the cigar store when the
deputy sheriff entered and made the
arrest. While this younS man was
apparently none too ANXIOUS to help
out in the prosecution, nevertheless
he apparently made an intelligent and
fair witness. He saw money on the
table twice. As far as he knew the
game was just friendly one for ci-
gars. He paid little or no attention
to the playing. as he was reading.
Chips were used, etc, etc. The other
testimony was all along the same line,
At the conclusion of the hearing
Justice Goodman intimated that the
case was a very trivial one, and that
there seemed little reason for holding
the men, but that inasmuch as even
playing for cigars might be consid-
cred gambling, he deemed it his duty
to hold the men to the grand jury,
which could dismiss the case il it
thought best.
Attorney Curtis appeared for the
defense. 1t was also brought out, ia
response to an inquiry made by Mr..
Curtis, that ii is the intention of the
prosecuting attorneys Office and the
sherifPs office to wage a crusade
against all forms Of gambling-that
the lotteries and gambling places
must be closed up.
/ This is stiff news-"important, Il
true"
As the matter now stands three

UNKNOWN WOMAN
 KILLED BY AUTO Coroner Believes Her Under
 Influence of Drugs OPIUM FOUND IN SATCHEL Dr. J. D. S. Davis Was In Car and His Chauffeur, Tommy Burnett, Was Driving-Woman Had
 Four Laudanum Bottles.
OPIUM FOUND IN SATCHEL

Yesterday evening shortly before oclock an unknown women. apparently about 30 years old. was run over and killed by the automobile of Dr. John D. s. Davis at the corner of Avenue D and Twenty-f1rst street. Dr. Davis and his chauffeur, Tommy Burnett, a white boy, were in the machine at the time of the accident, which, Coroner B. L. Brasher contends was one of an unavoidable na- ture No arrests were made in connection with the accident
 While the death of the woman bears some of the aspects of a suicide. all indi- cations point to the fact that she was ad dicted to the use of drugs, and the coro- ner holds the theory that while under the influence of laudanum and opium the unfortunate fell under the machine.
 Dr. Davis and his chauffeur were driv- ing out South Twenty-frst street at low rate of speed. it is stated, and just before they reached Avenue D the woman passed in front of the machine and stepped up on the curbing, but had no more than done so when she reeled and as the machine passed she either fell or jumped under it. After the machine had run over the woman it was stopped within half of it's length.
 The woman was hastily put into the ma chine and rushed to the private infirmary conducted by Dr. Davis. She was immed- lately placed on the operating table, but died within less than half an hour. It was found that her head had been badly skinned and her neck was broken.
 As stated, all appearances would indi- cate that the unfortunate woman was ad- dicted to drugs. There was a perceptible odor of laudanum about her clothing. and in a small satche which she carried were found four empty laudanum bottles and a tablespoonful of opium, besides $7.91 in money.
 There was nothing about the womans personal effects by which an Identification might be effected She is a woman of medium build, apparently about 30 years old, weighing about 140 pounds, fair com plexion and dark hair. Her front teeth were badly decayed
 The remains of the deceased were re- moved to the establishment of the Gaudin Undertaking company where they will be held for identification.

Guggenheim Says He Is Not Sick.

San Antonio, February f7.-Passing iel Guggenheim declares that he is not fleeing from Mexico because of a serious attack of heart trouble. He admits he suffered heart attack while in the City of Mexico. and is returning to New York earlier than originally planned, but says he finished his business and as the cli- mate did not agree with him, he decided to return. He appeared on the platform of the rear end of his private car and talked freely. He looked somewhat pale, but not as if suffering to any great ex- tent, and said he was without medical attention. He will return direct to New York.

BIG AUTOMOBILE MEET

Next week in Birmingham will be a big week in sporting way In the first place the directors of the league meet in Mobile Monday. and everyone here is in- terested to a great degree Immediately after the result of the league meeting is disseminated the automobile racers will appear on the scene, and only retire Fri day night Then Saturday, the directors of the Southern Golf assciation, and many southern golfers who are not di- rectors, will come together in Birming- ham.
 The automobile races promise to be the greatest ever held in Birmingham. While Birmingham, as has been stated. has drawn its share of this thrilling sport, never before has there been competition. In 1906 Barney Oldheld showed some raro exhibitions of speed. but there was no one competing against him. The following season Louis Strang drove his machine around the track. and broke a worlds record, but there was only one car in the race. But next week several men will compete for the honors in the several events, and the sport promises to be the most excellent ever witnessed in Birming- ham.
 Gorge Lytle, George Robertson, Ralph De Palma, Louis Strang, Louis Chevrolet, Jimmy Ryall and others who competed in the Savannah events will be on hand, and the programme calls for enough races to last two days. Locally there is a great deal of interest displayed. and it is safe to state that when the day for the races arrives the grounds will be filled to oyerfowing with spectators and local cars. AS is known, the automobile is more popular in Birmingham and the south to- day than ever before, and, automobile races are more popular all over the coun- try than ever before.
