Mandamus Suit Heard

Montgomery, october 93-(Special)- J. The question of whether or not action of Frank s. Stone of Baldwin county in ac- cepting as deputy solicitor of that county while he was still constitutionally solici- tor of the Thirteenth judicial eircut barred hm from the salary of the solici- tor, IS in the hands of Judge Gaston Gunter of the Montgomery city court, for an answer. The question was brought to the attention of the Montgomery jurist on a mandamus suit directed against the state auditor to compel that official to pay him his alleged salary due for so- licitorship duties of the Thirteenth cir cuit r.s
 Tho questicn is one of the most unique which has been brought in Alabama in some unle, ihasmuch as it involves tue point of whether or not the legislature can egislate q man out of office. Prior to the recent session of the legislature, the Thirteenth district consisted Of tho coun- ties of Mobile. Washington and Baldwin. though at tEe recent session Baldwin was placed in the second circuit, and Wasn- ngton count,' in the First circuit, leaving cnly, Mobile county in the Thirteenth cir cuit owing to the fact that Mr. Stone was residing in a circuit in which he did not live, Auditor smith refused to ray him the solicitors salary, though later the attorney general rules that Mir. Stone was entitled to tue sum. Before the auditor coud honor the opinion, however, he learned that MT. Stone had accepted office as deputy solicitor of Baldwin county, hence he refused payment on tho ground that AIr. Stone would be receiving two salaries. unconsttutionally.
 Judge Gunter today held with the attor- ueV general fnat thp lpgislat1Ire cpt,ld not legislate a man out of office, though the question of whether MT. Stone is entitled to the tive salaries has not yet been an- swered by him.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 IN TIE REICHSTAG
Secretaries Anxious to Hear ChancellOrs on High
 Cost of Living

Berlin October 23.--There was a large attendance of members and secretaries of state in the reichstag today in antici- patton of the chancellor's replies to ques- tions regarding the greatly increased cost of the necessarles of life The subject will become an issue in the coming gen. eral elections.
 The socialists and radicals are making terrific onslaughts or the tariffs affect free importation of Anerican meats
 After representatives of the agraria,l and center parties had opposed any meas ures except slight modification in the system of rebates on grain exports and the socialists and radicals had attacked the high tariff restrictions foreign meats as responsible for the situation, Chancellor Von Belhamm-IIollw replied in a speech that frequently caused or- der.
 He rejected the idea of any change in the present system because of the situa- ton produced by the 4triennal -drouth' and said only measures 10 tide over the immediate crisis were necessary.
 Reduction of duties on food stuffs would benefit middlemcn and not help consum- CTS, he said.
 Discussing the cost of meats food and grain, the chancellor said conditions were not essentially bad and placed the blame for high prices partly upon the retailers and partly upon the political campaign of the opposition which he declared, amid ridicules and protest had encouraged dealers to advance prices
 Germany he added, must look within

TURPENTINE SEASON
 WILL SOON END


 Bay Minette. October -(Specialo The turpentine season for this year is now drawing rapidly to close and within the.lneXt month the scene of activity among the trees and in the camps where the crude product is dis titled, VIII he entirely gone. The sea son has been unusually long and the activity has been most noticeable throughout the long spell through which the sap ran. The companies havef sbeen operating. a great many trees and each declare that next year it will increase it's number of crops to nearly double that of this year. The old method of cutting the boxes in the side of the tree has been done away with by the invention of the cup and all the trees that will be cut with few exceptions next year will be handled with the cups. The. Staple ton Turpentine company eaffd McM.l- Jan Brothers, both operating near here, have placed large -orders for cups to be used in their work next season.
 The matter of operating turpentine stills in this county will soon be a history of the past. as the trees which are now avail able are held at high prices and even at that, they are rapidly being used up. The influx of settlers who clear up the land or refuse to permit the timber to be cupped, is shortening the number of trees to a remarkable degree. The saw mills, which are cutting out much of the timber are also assisting in the breaking down of the once extensive tur- pentine business. During this winter a great rush will be seen among the tur- pentine men for the securing of sufficient timber for the coming years and some fancy prices will doubtless be offered for timber that is large enough to cut for that purposc.

OBJECT TOPLAN OF
 TOBACCO TRUST
Three Attorney Generals Submit Formal Report
 to Judges

New York, october 2S.-In protest against the proposed dissolution plan of the American Tobacco company the at South Carolina today submitted formal objections to the judges Of the United States circuit court. They charge that the plan is a bold attempt to nuify the judgment of. the United States su- preme court and declare the present sta tus is more tolerable than the plan pro- posed.
 '"rhe plan turns loose no asset and no agency the attorneys general set forth, "hy which the American Tobacco "on- pany now maintains it's absolute domin- ion over the tobacco trade. It's avarice for power anl it's utter uhwillinsness to loosen it's grip on the tobacco ousl- ness is striltingly Illustrated in it's Ie- fusal to give up one of the least of it's subsidiaries R. P. Richardson. Jr. and company. Inc. although that company has petitioned to be allowed to do an independent business
 The attorneys general assert the ligid- ing of the company into several working organizations will effect u change in book keeping only, and that it will be dis membered only as "the hand divides into fingers.
 To have real completion there must re antagonistic interest whereas the trust plan they say, maintains a conmunitv of interest between all the companies, 1t is proposed to create.

TELEGRAPHERS ARE
 THREATENING STRIKE

Washington. october 23.-With tile re- cent return Of D. II. Coapman, vice pres- ident and general manager of the South ein railway, the telegraphers Nf that system, who are negotiating to avert A threatened strike for 24 Der cent jn- crease in wages. look to a speedy settle ment.
 There has been long delay ill the ne- gotiations caused by absence Of railroad officials at various intervals
 The greatest secrecy is being maintained CD the part of the railroad officials. They maintain that there is no apprehension of d strike, which leads the telegraphers to believe there is a possibility of their ob- ta'1lQs at the last moment a substantial false. On the ether hand Mr. Coapnaan's s frequent postponements of negotia tions. which have been pending for almost two months, give them 8 cause for anxiety
 The raise of , per cent which has al- ready been offered has been ignored by the tele2raphers, who demand nothing short of what they term reasonable ad- vance if they cannot obtain the desired 24 per cent.

FIRE AT WARRANT
 WAREHOUSE
Cotton Catches Fire in the Waste Cotton Room-Fire Pr0tec-
 tion Good

By the quick work of the watchman at the compress and warehouse and the yard hands Of the Southern rail- way last night. a serious cotton fire at the Warrant Warehouse company's plant at the tuncture of Thirty-sixth street and the Southern railway was prevented.
 Fire broke out in the waste cotton room of the plant about 9:15 o'clock and the alarm was immediately turned in. Southern railway employees wheel ed ont reel they had on hand, strung a long line of hose to the sample house and had the fire well under control when companies Nos. 10 and ar rived. This was in addition to the equipment in the compress plant.
 The fire ragged for about an hour and a half with both the fire department and the yard men fighting 1t fiercely, finally subduing it.
 It is thought that the cotton caught fire from spark from passing en- zine. Chief Bennett was on hand and directed the battle as well as taking & prominent part in it himself.
 W. D. Nesbitt, hoad of the Warrant Warehouse company. said last night that the loss would not be over sS50.
 Ut was a fine tribute to our ar engagement for protection against fire said Mir Nesbitt. "The waste cotton room is entirely separate from the rest of the plant and of course 1t is in waste cotton that cotton fires general y originate. We have half q million. dollars worth of cotton stored in the warehouse and foresight of just such an occurrence as tonight is what saved 1t.
 "Our aim was to so build tie plant that when fire originates il can be confined to the place of origin. To- nights fire is a thorough demonstra- ton of the success of our plan

Mass in Nine Dead Languages.

1t Is not SO very long since considerable
curiosity was aroused by the first coming
among us OF priests in communication
with Rome-acknowledging the supremacy
of the Pope-and yet saying mass in q
language other than Latin.
Few but those who had read Rev. John
O'Brfen's History of the Mass knew
that no less than nine languages are used
In the liturgy of the Catholic Church, ell
OF them as dead as Latin: that is, not
one OF them is now a commonly spoken
tongue.
