PARSEVAL VI HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

Brunswick, Germany, April 21-The dirigible balloon Parseval VI met with a mishap ten miles north of this place today and was forced to make a run ming landing. The passengers escaped injury and the airship was not serious ly damaged, though it lies partly in a swamp and will of necessity be disman- tied and sent to Bitterfield by train.
 The accident brought to an end what had promised to be a successful non- stop flight from Berlin to Amsterdam. The airship, which was occupied by ten persons, including two military officer s of The Netherlands, rose at Berlin at 4:30 o'clock this morning. sailing away towards Amsterdam at a clip of 34 miles an hour Oebisfeld Saxony was passed soon after 10 o'clock, the dirigible go- ing strong. despite rather strong winds currents.
 Between Isenbuttel and Lieforde the air craft was flying low when she en- countered a gust of wind that compelled her to slow up. At the moment the free end of a rope that dangled from the car caught in the branches of a great birch tree and gave the airship a yank that broke her balance. This, com bined with the high wind. made neces- sary an immediate descent, which was fairly we'll accomplished, though with some strain to the dirigibe and the shaking up of her passengers.

DOUBLE EXECUTION
 FOR AWFUL MURDER


 Baton Rouge, La, April 21.-Eugene Besancon and Francois Rodin were hanged at 1 o'clock today in the state penitentiary for the murder of Har- mon Reidel. an aged German clock smith in New Orleans last October. The double execution closed the last chapter in one of the most brutal mur- ders ever committed in Louisiana. Reidel was lured to Besancon's room one night, his brains battered out with an iron dumb bell, robbed, and his body placed in sacks and thrown into the old basin canal. Both Besancon and Rodin admitted participation in the crime, but each charged the other with being the perpetrator.
 Besancon collapsed this morning and had to be assisted to the scaffold, but Rodin maintained his nerve to the last.

FEES ARE DENIED !. BY SUPREME COURT Not Liable Where No In- dictment Is Found THE SHERIFFS' LOSE Decision Yesterday Has Far Reach ing Effect-The Case Was
 Brought By Mobile
 Officer

Montgomery, April Especial. )-Asso- ciate Justice Mayfeld. speaking for the supreme court of this state, today held that a county is not liable to sheriff for his fees for summoning grand jury wit nesses in cases where no indictment is found. The case went up to the high tribunal on mandamus proceedings brought by former Sheriff John S. Draso, of Mobile, to collect s146 of such fees.
 ''The statute is clear in allowing sher- ifs a fee of 50 cents for serving each subpoena in criminal cases" says the supreme court, "and this applies as well to cases in which the subpoena commands the witness to appear before the grand jury, as to those in which he is cited to appear before a criminal court, but we are unable to find any provision which makes this fee a charge upon or claim against the county when the grand jury fails to find an indictment in the case in which the witness is subpoenaed.
 Tn some instances the claim of the sheriff might become a claim against the fine and forfeiture fund of the county, but as to this we do not decide the question not being before us, but we know no provision making 1t a claim against the general funds of the county.
 We find no authority in these statutes upon which to hold that the claim is against the general funds of the coun- ty, yet they are relied upon by the appel lee as authority.
 we have been unable to find any local law for Mobile county on the subject, and have been referred to none."
 The sunreme court stated it was unnec- essary to decide the second question. The writ of mandamus was held improperly is- sued. Judgment of the court was re- versed and Judgment was rendered deny ing the writ. The costs of the proceed ings were taxed against MT. Drago. The witness subpoenas were served by former Sheriff Drago at the October term 1909

O'NEAL HAS FIFTY s BILLS ON HIS DESK Every Effort Being Made to Check Errors Before 10
 Days Expire

Montgomery, April 21.-(Special)- Governor O'Neal has until next Monday midnight to sign the numerous bills on his desk. At that time the 10 days limit allowed him under the constitu- ton will expire and all bills that have not at that time been acted upon by the governor will be dead.
 During the legislative session the governor has five days to act upon 5ins. If he has taken no action by tie end of the fifth day they become a flaw without his approval. If he vetoes any of them there is then chance for them to be passed over the executives head. This condition does not obtain, however, after adjournment of the leg islature. The governor has 10 days in which to sign bills, and if he does not approve them within that time they 6ie at the expiration of the constitu- tional limit.
 When the legislature adjourned the governor had something over 100 bills in his office. Up to the present time he has approved nearly 50, some of them being bills of general importance, though the large majority of them were purely local measures.
 According to the governors legal ad- wiser, Robert B. Evins of Greensboro, who is making a careful examination of all the bills to see that they have been correctly enrolled and that they are free from unconstitutional features, all of the bills in the executive office will be ready for his signature by Sat urday night. MT. Evins is working night and day to finish examining the num- eIous measures in the governors of- fee, and he states that he expects to complete his work by Saturday after noon
 Another difference in respect to bills left with the governor after adjourn ment of the legislature is found ir the fact that all measures containing lncorrections in enrolment are killed During the Legislative session such CT TOTS can be corrected by the member. of the two houses, but after adjourn ment there is no such recourse to b, had, and all bills containing error. die.
 The governor is working hard tc clear his desk of the numerous meas ures that have been in his possession since Friday last and prior to that time and he does not anticipate that there will be any difficulty in acting upon all such bills as are in proper shape.
