MEN CHARGED WITH BROTHERS MURDER

Anniston. September 21.-(Special.)- Charged with fratricide, Cicero Humph- ries and Rathbone Humphries, brothers, two well-known farmers, who live in the eastern section of this county have been placed in the Calhoun county jail to an- swer for the murder of Cooney J. Humphries on July Il, of this year.
 The arrests were made this morning and the men brought here from White Plains. They were indicted by the recent city court grand jury and their arrest came as a surprise as the coroner had failed in his inquiry to fix the blame for the murder.
 On the morning of the date mentioned the dead body of Humphries was found sitting in a chair near an open door at the home of his brother. He held a pistol in his hand when the body was discov- cred. and large hole was found in his head, indications pointing to his having been shot while asleep.
 Suicide was advanced as theory but this was not upheld by an investigation on the part of the coroner and sheriff at the time.

Session Very Placid

The council meeting last night con tinued until nearly il o'clock, but was very placid, broken only by the objec. tions of Alderman Graham Perdue. MT Perdue opposed the payment of sal posed paying him for the time he was acting mayor, opposed the viaduct prop osition, and opposed the ordinance pro viding that the council elect assistants to department heads.
 He claimed that the salary ordinances were illegal, argued against the closing of streets for viaducts, and thought that councilmen were not competent to pass upon the qualifications of assistants ir the various departments.
 Alderman McDowell of Ensley replied to his statement that the vote on the commission was repudiation of the present board, and said that if he thought the people of his ward had repu- disted him he would step down and out John Williams answered him on the via duct question, affirming that he believed it fair proposition, and insisting tha the rights of the railroads must not b, upOu. lHtu AldcIIlldn uOOi' told him that it Is the duty of every al derman to know the assistants in the de partments, because it is our duty, ant we are responsible to the people for theil every act.''
 One Request Granted

He is the leader of the minority which has grown rather slim recently When he asked for unanimous consen for an improvement ordinance, Johr Copeland begged the aldermen to gran it. saying: MT. Perdue has served or this board two years and this is the frs time he has asked for anything. I dt hope you will grant his only request
