HUMANE OFFICER
 MUST SHOW. HORSE

Humane Officer Greedy was considerably astonished yesterday when he pointed out a horse to Judge McNally as the horse that had caused the arrest of Pat Marrel. Instead of the emaciated frame that he expected to see, sleek, glossy horse met his eye.
 It seems that Pat Marrel. a negro hackman. had been arrested for cruelty to animals. His horse was in such con dition that 1t could hardly walk. Officer Greedy put the negro under bond and in structed him to bring the horse to the city hall yesterday, that the judge might have visual evidence of the truth of the charge.
 When his case was called yesterday morning Marrel was in court looking for his officer. He did not take the trouble to employ a lawyer and would not plead guilty. He invited the judge out to see the horse.
 The negro, instead of having the origi- nal horse had 'swapped hosses on him. as Officer Greedy termed if. The case was continued to allow the humane officer to produce the other horse

UNIQUE LAW POINTS ARE
 RAISED IN ENSLEN CASE
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS

Two of the most interesting legal points raised in the local courts in some time were argued before Chancellor Benners yesterday by attorneys representing b- A. May & Co and W. B. Summervilie of New York, who are defendants in s1 ooo,o GOO suit by MT. Enslen in the federal court.
 While in Birmingham a few weeks ago Mir. May and MT. Summerville were served with a summons and complaint filed in the ehaneery court They were also made defendants along with MT. Enslen in a suit of H. B. Touroman, served while in Birmingham.
 It was claimed in the motion yesterday that the defendants were seated in room wherein a special master appointed by the federal court of New York was taking testimony when a deputy sheriff appeared and served the complaints upon the two defendants.
 The motion was made by A. Latady, representing Mr. May, and by W. Il. Baker of New York, representing Mr. Surnmerville, that the service be vacated on two grounds. They claim that MT. Collins. who was the examiner and who was holding court when May and Sum mervile were served was part of the federal court of the southern district of New York, and that no service made upon persons in that court in civil pro- cess was legal. This point, it is claimed, has never been made in Alabama before. The defendants attorneys also claimed that MT May and MT Summerville were in Birmingham at the express request or counsel in another case and their pur- pose in Birmingham was to confer with attorneys and assist in the cross-exam- ination of a witness. Because of this fact the attorneys claim they were immune from the service of any civil process and that the service was void. The two points are said to be backed up with authorities dating to the reign of Henry of Eng land, in whose time the exemption While visiting other towns was adopted. The point has been decided, so it Is claimed, as being good law in many states in the union.
 However, Birmingham lawyers and Judges have not been face to face with such a question before. Chancellor Ben ners yesterday said he would take the case under advisement until Thursday. when he would render a decision. He said it was among the most unique points he had ever been called upon to consider and solve.
 Col John w. Tomlinson and E. K. Campbell appeared yesterday for MT. Enslen and argued the points against MT Baker and MT. Latady. The case in- sttuted in the chancery court is separate from the one filed in the federal court of New York. However, the defendants claim that the suit in chancery involves

.FORECASTERS ARE
 BADLY MUDDLED The Election Outlook Promises Many Big Upsets OLD PARTY IS SPLIT UP In Many PivotnI States the Republicans Have Fractional Fights Hnd Dem ocrats See Bie Victories
 Ahead
OLD PARTY IS SPLIT UP

New York, November 7.-(Special.)- Will the sixty-second Congress be dem- ocratic or republican? This is the most important question to be decided at the elections to be held throughout the coun- try tomorrow
 All the rigors of the campaign are now over and the candidates are anxiousiy awaiting the results of their efforts. What the outcome will be is, of course, problematic Not since the famous free silver and gold campaign of 1896 have in the dark.
 Democratic leaders all over the coun- try are highly jubilant and wear an air of unusual confidence. They not only claim a majority in the House of Repre- sentatives, but express the belief that sufficient democratic legislatures will be elected through the country to insure a majority in the Senate.
 At present there are 391 members in the lower house, of whom PIT are repub- licans and 174 democrats. Owing to the growth of insurgency, which the demo- crats claim has caused an irreconcilable split in the ranks of the republican party, and the alleged dissatisfaction which exists throughout the country of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill the demo- cratic leaders feel confident of overcom- ing this majority. To this end they have directed their fire to a number of the so-called pivotal states, such as Indiana, Illinois. New York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Maryland. Should they succeed in capturing the doubtful districts in these states they would undoubtedly be assured of ma jority. Their confidence in doing this Is due in a great measure to the early fall elections held in the down east states and the special congressional elections which were held to fill vacancies in the House.
 The most notable of these was the election in Maine, where a democratic governor was placed in office for the first time in thirty years, The Maine democrats also elected majorities in both houses of the state legislature, insuring democratic successor to Senator Hale, and two out of the four congressman. The election in Vermont, which Is called the political barometer of the country also showed a substantial falling off of the republican vote.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-08
Missouri Election

At the special election held in the Sixth Missouri district to select successor to the late David DeArmond, republican. Clement c. Dickinson, democrat, was carried into office by substantial ma jority Tn the Fourteenth Massachusetts district, a rock-bou republican section, Eugene Foss. democrat, was elected to succeed the late William C. Lowering, republican. Another stirring contest oc- cured in the Thirty-second New York district, where James B. Havens, demo- crat, was elected to succeed the late James B. Perkins, republican.
 If the republican leaders are dismayed at these happenings, they are showing no indications of fear, and express equal confidence at controlling the next House.
 Insurgent Movement
 The insurgent movement, which mani fested itself so much in the last session of Congress, does not appear to have spread with any great rapidity. From the returns from number of the states where this movement fourishes the insurgents and regulars seem to have broken about even. Kansas and Idaho are the two exceptions. The insurgents in these states seem to have complete control of the situation. In Iowa, however, there is strong fight, and where the repub- lican regulars gained the nominations the insurgents have placed independent candidates In the field. Minnesota, Wis consin and Indiana are wholly insurgent while the movement is strong in Wash ington, Oregon and California The lead CTS feel confident, however, when the re- turns are counted on election day they will show a balance in favor of the re- publicans, whether regular or Ynsurgent In so-called pivotal states the cam paign has been exceedingly bitter Tn the election to be held tomorrow 2s states In the union will select governors, while 36 will elect state legislatures. The dem ocrats will make a vigorous fight to get a majority of the state legislatures in order to insure majority in the Sen ate in the next Congress. At the present time there is republican majority of .26 in the upper house. Thirty-one terms expire this year and the new state legis- latures will select successors when they convene in January. Of the S1 whose terms expire "A are republicans.
 New York Most Important
 The eyes of the entire country are centered on New York state, where there are no less than six parties competing the republican, democratic, Independence league, prohibition and the two socialist parties The first three named poll the largest number of votes and have. of course, conducted the most strenuous campaigns. At the head of the repub- 1 lican ticket is Henry l.. Stimson, the 1 United States district attorney, who gained fame through his prosecution of the sugar trust. Opposed to him are
 John E. Dix, the democratic nominee, and John J Hopper, the Independence league candidate William R. Hearst,
