They are Rosa Armstrong, Clara Vim bush and Claude O'Shields. Detectives Bullard and Slack will return to At lanta this morning with the prison CTS.
 The case has been a very peculiar one, as 1t seems as if the men played directly into the hands of the officers. They held up man in Atlanta and came to Birmingham, where they had fight among tn emselves and two were arrested. The following night two of the men held up B. z. Harty and re- lieved him of $500 worth of personal property. One of the men went back to Atlanta, where he was captured.
 Detectives Sigsbee and Justin yester- day recovered the remainder of the property stolen from Levy and Gold berg in Atlanta. Only a short time aft erward message from Atlanta in formed them that practically all of Harty's property had been recovered.

LIQUOR DEADLOCK

Former Alderman Says Nothing VIII Be Accomplished By Legislature
 Till Question Is Settled

That no important legislation would be enacted until the liquor question is settled and that no appointment will be made until after such action Is the belief of B. H. Cooper, former coun- cilman of Iirming gham, who returned last night from Montgomery
 He said that from an observers view point the legislature was as effectively deadlocked as any in the history of tn e south, so far as doing something was concerned.
 'The all absorbing topic in Mont gomery Is the whisky bill,' said MT. Cooper. "and it looks 10 me that ab- solutely no legislation will take place of any moment until that maesure Is adopted or the ma tier Is settled In some way. One thing is sure. the pres ent legislaturs will never legalize the return of the saloons in this state. am not on either side oi chat tight but the way things are shaping up 1t looks like a deadlock will set in. Anoth CT thing awaiting action as to the whisky bills is the appointments of Governor O'Neal. I do not think he will make any important appointments until the legislature has enacted some measure to suit him as a solution of the whisky problem" ses,ss Mr Cooper was among tn ose of a large delegation returning home lasl night.
