Church SquabbIe

The famous church squabble, known as the controversy between the Cumberland Presbyterian church and the Presbyte- rlan church of the United States, in which the question at issue is both a dcotrinal one and a matter of consti- tutional rights. was argued today in the Alabama supreme court, the case com ing to the attention of the AabamD jurists on an appeal from a decision in the city court of Birmingham, Judge Sharpe presiding. A galaxy of brilliant attorneys are in the city for the purpose or presenting the matter to the Ala bama court the case having begun this morning, to be continued at the hea ring Of tomorrow.
 Property valued at about s125,0O0, sit uated on the corner of Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue, in Birmingham, is at stake in the hearing which Is now in progress, the contention of the "Cumber- lands being that the Presbyterian church of the United States has no right to it. Absorption of the Cumberland Presby- terians by the Northern" Presbyterians is contested by the Cumberands on the ground that the constitution of their church did not vest their assembly with the right to effect the union or merger, which is back of the complaint. The question Is very important however, in asmuch as all of the Cumberland Presby- terian property in the state is at stake
 Defending the Cumberland complain ants are Judge W. c. Caldwell of Tren- ton, Tenn; w. B. Lamb of Fayetteville Tenn. and Nathan Miller of Birming- ham. For the Presbyterians of the United ham: Judge J. M. Gaut, Nashville, and Joe c. Hale of Birmingham, who has submitted brief which is to be read to the court tomorrow

Compromise Matters

On showing made to the examiner of public accounts that certain vouchers not shown in his previous report on the af- fairs of s. W. Compton, former superin- tendent of education of Marengo county have been returned, properly signed, and on the further showing that the former superintendent is due the state only S134413, the state board of compromise has decreed that payment of the amount will satisfy al claims that might be made against the superintendent. The decree was written after a lengthy session of the board, which was held at the capitol this morning.
 the following cases: Interstate Lumber company of Columbus. Miss, which exc cuted a mortgage to the Security Trust company of Detroit, on lands In Misss- sippi and Alabama, valued at s25O,0 The required record tax of s375 was paid ir Lamar county, this state, the session of the board being to determine the per cent to which Mississippi is entitled. It was adjudged that Alabama should keep K her cent and Mississippi 45 per cent.
 Petition of John T. Cochran, president of the Mobile Terminal and Railroad company, for reduction in the amount of record tax of a certain mortgage to secure an indebtedness of $500,000 was de- nied.
 The board ruled that w. J. L. Welch. tax collector of Fillmore county, Is due the state $47.5S as an escape tax on d bridge in that county which formerly be- Ionged to a corporation, but which now belongs to the county. By reason of the transfer, the escape was brought about, which upon examination of the state examiner Of public accounts led to an allegation that the tax collector was due the state $16476. The amount was reduced.

Anniston November 29.-tSpeeiaL) 1.-The
 kaplan will contest which has been
 made the feature of the session of chan
 cery court, with Judge W. w Whitside
 presiding, promises to assume rather sensational phase before it Is concluded
 if the threat of Robert Kaplan, son of
 the deceased, l.. H. Kaplan, Anniston
 capitalist and philanthropist, is carried
 out in court
 | According to the terms of the will young Kaplan, who had lived in estrangez
 nent from his father in Texas for a number of years, was allowed only $50 per month or $100 under the condition that he married Jewess. He is said to be dissatisfied with this settlement and has stated to the trustees and their at
 torney that he will contest the testa ment.
 | MT. Kaplan, in disposing of his prop | erty estimated at about s100000, left one-half to "the Jewish hospital in Jeru-
 saiem," one-fourth to the Jewish hospi- | tai for consumptives at Denver," and one-fourth for the establishment of a charity hospital at Anniston. It devel- | oped after the will was filed for pro-
 hate that there are four Jewish hospitals
 at Jerusalem and two Jewish hospitals | for consumptives at -1enver, each of whom has employed lawyers to vindicate | it's claims as being the one mentioned in
 the Kaplan will.
 | On the other hand, the trustees of the proposed Anniston hospital have made
 the allegation that the provision for | hospitals at both Jerusalem and at Den
 yer are void and that under the terms of
 the will the entire hospital provision
 reverts to the proposed charity hospital | at Anniston.

Calhoun Richest Alabama County

According to calculations based on re- cent figures published in the daily papers of the state, Calhoun county is the rich est county in Alabama, having more money per capita than any other county in the commonwealth.
 Jefferson county is the only rival in Alabama to Calhouns claims, but it is argued that Calhoun made better show ing than the largest county in the state. According to the census, Jefferson has 2s5,000 inhabitants, with assessed values in the sum of $65,000,0O0 for the Greater Birmingham district, or s70,000,00O for the county as a whole. making $265 per capita for Greater Birmingham or $2S5 for Jeff ferson county.
 The census gives Calhoun county a population of 5000, with assessed values amounting to $14,000,00O, or 1858 per capita, which is said to be a showing which cannot be eaualled by any other county in the state.

ner In Which They Drill and
Care for Equipment.

Captain R. M. Brambf1a of the 9th
regiment, @ S. A, which is stationed
at Fort Sheridan, conducted the annual
inspection of Company A, 1. N. G., OF
this city, at Armory hall last evening.
The command was in the best shape
that 1t has ever been and the inspect
ing officer complimented Captain E. H.
Dunavin on the class of men who were
enrolled and on the general appear
ance and efficiency of the company.
There were 80 men IN the ranks for
the inspection, and while this is con-
siderably under the minimum number
allowed in the Dick bill, there is no
fear that the company will be muster
ed out of the service, as was feared
some time ago. Army officers have
decided that a small well-drilled COM
pany is preferable to a large company
poorly drilled and poorly equipped.
Headquarters Inspected.
AS this city Is the headquarters OF
both the 9Th regiment and the Third
brigade, the inspecting officer had
more than just the local company to
inspect General Edward Kittilsen of
the Third brigade and Colonel w. T.
Channon of the 9th infantry both
brought out their stats and their
equipment and general appearance and
efficiency were passed upon by Captain
Brambila. While he does not tell what
his report to the government will be,
it is thought that it will be favorable
in every case, as he seemed well pleas
ed with the manner in which the men
of the different organizations conduct
ed themselves and took care of their
equipment
Last night Captain Brambila inspect
ed Company F Of Moline, and this ev-
ening he is to be in Geneseo with Com
pany B. Several of the officers from
this city have planned to accompany
the inspecting officer to Geneseo. He
has made quite an impression with the
militia officers, who regard him the
best inspector ever sent here by the
government authorities. He is a grad
uate Of West Point and has seen con-
siderable foreign service.
