Washington, April 6.-The cele-
DRAFTED Brownsville case is again in
the limelight. The court of inquiry has
decided to uphold the decision of the
people of Brownsville, Tex, and to
punish one hundred and sixty-ive
brave and courageous men against
whom no proof Of guilt has been
round. 1t will be noticed also that
the court did not attempt to put any
responsibility upon the commission

is not surprised at the findings under
the conditions which pertained. He
says:

after so many investigations, a total
failure of proof to fasten guilt upon
any Individual soldier was a strong
evidence that at most many innocent
men had been made to suffer. and
that all such should be made eligible

all should be allowed to re-enlist

and as result the court did not sit
to hear charges and testimony for and
against the individuals, as the act pro-
vldes, but entered upon a wholesome
investigation on it's own account,
with a view to establish the guilt of
some Of the soldiers.
Such report as the court has
made, in view of this state of facts.
and in view Of the purposes for
which it was created, is a greater dis
grace to the American army than any
thing which has been charged against

The decision of the court is as fol.

fifth Infantry, stationed at Fort
Brown, Texas, did on the night of
August 1914, 1906, shoot into houses

court is unanimous in it's opinion

charges.

noon.

Ernest Dennig, who was the victim
hardware store on North Main street,
Saturday afternoon, died from the eff
fects of his injuries, shortly after
six o'clock Saturday evening.
The victim never recovered con-
sciousnes and there was no hope at
any time after the accident, for his
recovery. Dr's. Robert Ramroth
and l.. d. Hamilton attended the In
jured man, after he was removed to
his home on Cherry street. Their eX-
animation disclosed that he had sus-
tanned n fracture of both tables Of

the elevator shaft, which led from the
Easement to the first and second
floors. Mr.. Dennig was standing on
the second floor, placing some wood
en- braces. He seemed to forget about
the elevator shaft and after driving n
nail, stepped backwards into the hole.
He fell about twenty feet, and lit on
his head and shoulders.
A number of fellow workmen hur-
ried to the bottom OF the shaft and
carried the injured man to the first
floor. 1t was thought at first that he
had met with instant death but signs
of life were noticed a little later. He
was hurried to his home in an ambu-
lance and desperate efforts were put
forth to save his life. The physi-

would do no good. and other methods
Of surgery were applied.

years. He had been resident OF Ma
rion practically all of his life and was
exceptionally well known. He was a
very able carpenter and builder and
was in the employe of many OF Ma
rion's leading contracting firms.

OF SPRING WEATHER
Quite Few Persons Show First
symptoms of Spring Fever.

The first touch OF Spring was felt
In Marion Sunday. The balmy and
delicious ozone made local people
yawn, but the day was thoroughly en-
joyed. Early in the morning the
first thunder storm of the season
passed over the city The lightning
flashed quite freely as though 1t were
a warm day i'm July. Later III the
day, the sun shone brilliantly ana
at intervals storm clouds darkened
the sun and Spring seemed to struggle
with Winter in an endeavor to estab-
lish itself In the evening the emil
ly winds of March were prevalent ana
late in the evening 1t was winter
once more.

]. H. MUDD IS HERE
 FOR SHORT VISIT
ST. LOUIS MAN DECLINES TO COM MENT ON SUIT NOW PENDING IN FEDERAL COURT AGAINST GAL LOWAY COAL COMPANY

J. H. Mudd of St. Louis one of the heirs of the Mudd estate, which is suing the Galloway Coal company through the St. Louis Trust company for valuable coal lands in the Blocton fields, was in Birmingham last night.
 It was stated that MT. Mudd is in bad health and spends a great deal of his time in the south during the winter. and that his trip here at this time has no spe- cial connection with the litigation. How ever, it was stated that testimony in the case involving some of the most valuable coal lands in this state will be taken very soon.
 Mr Mudd was in conference yesterday with his attorneys, Cabaniss & Bowie. in regard, it is understood, to the pendinp litigation MT. Mudd said last night that he had absolutely no comment to make upon the pending litigation now, as it was entirely in the hands of his attorneys and the courts. He would not admit being one of the heirs interested in the suit.
 In the complaint filed in the federal courts against the Galloway Coal com pany it was petitioned that leases held by that company and executed by the Mudd heirs be vacated, it being charged that the company has committed many acts which dissolved the contract or lease. and in addition has forfeited the royalties that were to have been paid .ae owners
 The Galloway Coal company and Jones G. Moore of this city, who executed the contracts and leases before MT. Moore went with the Sloss company, are the defendants. The suit will come up for hearing at the next term of the federal court.
 It is announced by Cyrus Garnsey Jr., general manager of the Galloway Coal company that the vast improvements in the Blocton field and the new opening would not be held in abeyance pending the continuation of the suit. On the con trary, the statement was made that work would go forward without the slightest delay.
 MT Mudd will possibly be here several days. He is at the Hotel Hilman. He is not related to William Swearington Mudd the only son of one of Birmingham g most widely known departed citizens of that name.

 MT. Skaggs said Birmingham was evidently so far ahead of any place in Alabama as to schools as to en- tjrelv eliminate it from discussion of the educational advantages or the state However he said last night that he would be more than interested Tn making a trip to the schools today and would not be at all surprised to ind system comparable to any city Of this size in America.

 He opened the first really public school in Alabama while mayor of Tal- ladega and for that purpose borrowed S15,000 in New York from a financial firm which claimed 1t could not find Talladega on the map.

RAID IS MADE ON
 BAND OF ROBBERS
City Detectives Recover Large Amount Of Property Stolen Fr'm
 Box Cars

Detectives Wren, Murphy, Sisbee and Williams made an important laid last night when three negro men, Will Will liams Robert Smith and Si Dakis, were arrested at Fifteenth street anh Second alley north, shortly before 10 o'clock
 As a result of resisting arrestlSi Davis is in St. Vincents hospital seriously wounded in the left side by bullet from the revolver of John Wren. It is not thought that the wound will prove fatal, however, as pr. Whelan attended the ne gro immediately and his wounds were d1 essed.
 In addition to the three negro men ar rested two women charged with receiving and concealng stolen property were lodged in the city jail. The negroes are charged with systematic robbing of and with the breaking open of a Cen tral of Georgia car several days ago and stealing about $500 worth of shoes. Tn the opinion of the officers the gang Is one of the worst that operates in the district and they were complmented for their capture last night by Chief Bodeker.
 The arrest followed several days hard work on the case by the detectives. They secured information last night that the negroes were preparing to dispose of the shoes and the four officers immediately went to the scene. The gang had Will Williams on the lookout for the officers, hut he was captured by Detectives Will lian,s and Murphey Detectives Wren and sigsbee going into the house without warning.
 They found the two negro men and two women engaged in tying up the shoes in sacks. All were ordered to throw ur their hands and all compiled but Davis. He was ordered a second and third time to obey and made move ment for his pistol upon which De- tective Wren fired. A 3S caliber special was found in his pocket after he was shot
 In addition to recovering the shoes the officers found large amount of cloth concealed between the mattresses. A systematic search of the premises was made but nothing else was found How ever. the officers are confident that the negroes are the ones that have been do- ing the numerous car robbing that has recently been reported to the department. Further developments are expected to- day
