 John M. Smith and Lillard Mel win, two negroes who are working out fines on the county roads un- der the supervision of Deputy Paisley, escaped from the con- vict camp Tuesday night, accord ing to news received from Paro- uuet. Smith was working out a fine for carrying pistol, and Melvin for a crap shooting scrape. -4, ~~~i~i+A.i.~l4-.i4 4.S.I.4 :, This is a partial solution of the mystery of the killing of the two bloodhounds which were kept at the camp, and which died recent ly from having eaten ground glass in their food. The penalty for escape is double the original fine, and the circumstances of the escape will make it rather hard upon the two bad coons if they are recaptured, which they no doubt will be. n Batesville Guard.

FLEEING NEGROES
 SHOT BY OFFICER
Chicken Thieves Failed to Halt and One Henry Johnson Came
 to Grief

Henry Johnson, a negro man, was shot and painfully but not seriously wounded last night by Officer George Lyons at 8 o'clock. The shooting occurred at Ave- nue c and Twenty-third street, South. Johnson was struck in the right arm and the right leg. He was carried to the hospital at the city jail, where his wounds were dressed by pr. Wheelan, who does not think that either will result seriously.
 Two negroes approached officers Lyons and Byrd last night and told that two negroes were down the street with sack full of chickens. The officers investi- gated and found the negroes. They called to them to halt, but the negroes began to run in different directions. Officer Lyons went after one and Byrd after the other.
 Johnson was shot twice, but the other negro succeeded in escaping from Officer Byrd after a strenuous chase. The off cer shot at the fleeing negro and struck him once, but the wound was not serious enough to stop him.
 When the negroes started to run they turned loose several chickens which they were holding in their hands. They alsc dropped their sack. Several chickens got away. All of the chickens in the sack were dead They are being held at the police station for Identification. They are Rhode Island Red chickens and two bantam hens,

BURST ON SENATE
 IN ALL SP[END0R

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special )-Four of the handsome, magnificent and cava- Her senators of middle Alabama, whose hearts beat as one, burst in full splendor upon the Alabama senate today when Senators Frazer, Moulthrop, Atkins and Walden entered upon the deliberations of that body appareled in the most faultless Prince Albert" costume. Ardent de- voices of Beau Brummel and the Gentle mems Journar' could not have been more stylishly costumed nor more splendidly hediked, nor could a Chesterfield have borne himself with x more becoming grace.
 The occasion of the spread" could not be fathomed by the scribes who were thus compelled to rise to the heights Of a society reporter, the perfectly ap- pareled persons vouchsaflng no explana- ton, and few there being of sufficient bravery to face the issue. They stood aloof in their greatness-shining exam ples of what the Alabama legislature can do for men.
 Senators less fortune than the mid dle Alabamians eyed their colleagues with admiration and envy, immediate ly assigning the -Four Star" club to one of the unique pinnacles of fame
 in the senate chamber. A committee was created in their honor. and the complexion of each of the Brummels yied the color of his carnation as the offices were accepted. The committee Is one entitled the committee on hab- erdashery, tailoring and sartorial eff fleets, and it's members are down on the journal as Senators Frazer of Bull lock, Walden of Perry, Moulthrop of Barbour and Atkins of Dallas. The res- olution creating the committee was in- troduced by Senator Stevens of Mobile county, who led the applause as the four senators coyly entered the cham Der in a body. It passed unanimously. Each of the senators carried in his right hand, which was folded across his breast, a tall silk hat that shone
 with the lustre of the new born sun, and each had a carnation which best agreed with his complexion in the lapel of his coat. Senator Frazers carna- tion was white Moulthrop's pink, Att kins' and Vaiden's red.
 | Neckties and socks matched perfect | ly, as did the gloves.
 | According to the resolution which
 creates the committee Sousas band and
 Dockstaders Minstrels are authorized to furnish the music at every session
 of the committee, which must be held after II p. m.4

HILL ID DISCUSS
 POTASH TREATY

Washington, March 9--David Jayne Hill, American ambassador to Germany, has been ordered to Washington to dis cuss several measures pending between the two governments. The potash con- troversy, it Is learned. will be the principal subject for consideration.
 It was made clear at the state de- partment that the instructions to MT. Hill to come to Washingon have no bearing upon Mexican or any other po- litical situations. The potash dispute will be the principal question upon which the state department officials desire to consult directly with MT. Hill.
 Berlin, March 9.-Ambassador Hill will sail from Bremen Saturday on the steamer George Washington for New York.
 It was announced three weeks ago that pr. Hill would leave for the Uni- ted States on this date in order to de- liver series of lectures at Columbia university.
 It now develops that he has been instructed to come first to Washing ton.
 The Prussian potash law was under attack at a meeting Of the budget com mittee of the Reichstag today when pro- posals for the disposition of the potash tax were considered The large sums used for propaganda" particularly the amount spent abroad, were criticised. The progressives introduced resolution 10 amend the law by cutting the propaganda tax from 15 cents to 7h cents per hun drcd weight, and correspondingly reduc-. ing the price of potash at home and abroad.
 A representative of the government stated that $500000 had been used for foreign propaganda in 1910 and objected to a reduction of the sum to $400,O in 1911.
 The potash syndicate has addressed a letter to the committee protesting the term corruption fund.- as applied to this expenditure in debates.

COMMISSION HEARS
 SOUTHERN PETITION

Montgomery, March 9.-(Special.)-The petition of the Southern railway to re- quire the crating of stoves for shipment in less than car lots consumed the entire days session of the Alabama railroad commission which began Thursday morn ing.
 Representatives of a number of stove manufacturing concerns and many rail- road agents and lawyers crowded in the offices when the hearing was started
 The contention of the railroads is that stoves in less than car lots shall be crat- ed, regardless of railroad rates The question, 1t was maintained, Is one of regulation with reference to the physical handling of goods offered for shipment and not a matter concerning rates.
 No other cases were reached by the commission. The petition of the Alabama Travellers association for AS hours' free storage on baggage, instead of "A hours as at present, is the last case on the docket. It may be reached Friday. A full mem- bership Of the commission is in attend ance. No decision has been reached.

WOUNDED MAN OUT OF DAN- GER BUT ONE EYE IS RE- MOVED AND OTHER FOUND TO BE PARALYZED

The condition of s. Lawrence Smith, who was shot on the night of Feb. ', by Homer B. Hudson, street car cou- ductor, Is very encouraging. A week ago MT. Smith was removed from the Robinson infirmary to the home of his father, T. s. Smith, 300 Broad street. Elyton, where he has continued to i'm prove.
 Physicians have been in daily attend ance on Mr. Smith and pronounce his general condition to be good. He has Q good appetite and has gained strength rapidly since leaving the hospital. MT Smith is practically out of danger at present, and unless unexpected compli- cations set in his recovery is assured.
 An examination of MT. Smiths eyes was made last night by Drs Ledbetter and Long who gave the family little hope that Mir. Smith would recover hls eyesight. The physicians removed the right eye and the left is paralyzed.
 MT. Smith has made gallant fight fog his life. Immediately after he was shot he was rushed to the Robinson infrn- ary where his death was expected hourly for over a week. Despite the conditions against him, his vigorous constitution rallied from the shock and he is now on the road to recovery.

As matter of fact, he felt miserable most of the time. He had tried so many of these quick relief advertised cures for catarrh and indigestion without ever re- ceiving the slightest benefit in the world that he had almost given up in despair of ever finding a cure, but after hearing and reading about so many people and many of his own friends who had ob- tained such wonderful results from the use of the Quaker Remedies, now being introduced, he said: "I will try once again.
