ANOTHER BARBER
 ASSA|LANT FINED Jury Finds Bennett Guilty and Recommends
 S1OO Fine

The jury in the case of Walter Water Bennett. charged with assauit1ng or en- tering into conspiracy to assault Arhe Barber, was out more than three hours afternoon in the criminal court before returning verdict of guilty, TOT which a fine of s1O0 and costs was as sessed.
 The jury failed to recommend clemency h the verdict but one of the jurors ap- preached the court and said that they did not want any additional punishment put on Bennett since the evidence proved that the latter was guilty only of entering conspiracy to assault Barber and that he had struck no blows
 The jury started on the case early Fri day morning and retired Saturday 5:3O p. m. to make their decision. The case has been of unusual interest to many.
 Solicitor H. P. Heflin opened the prose- cution and was followed by B. M. Allen for the defense. The closing argument was made by 7. T. Rudulph. Judge Weaver in charging the jury told them that the question of prohibition had noth- ing to do with the case and that they should dismiss all prejudices hitherto en- tertained by them. He pointed out the fact that it was not necessary for Ben nett to physically assault Barber, but that his entering into a conspiracy to do the same would be considered in the light of the law as a crime.
 The testimony brought out by the de-

 City Judge Collins before whom Me- Namara was taken, the Indianapolis po- lice officers and all others connected with the case. were absolved from blame or wrong-doing by the grand jury.

INTRODUCE BILL
 ID PROBE ARMY

Washington, June 17.-Representative Kahn of California introduced in the House today a resolution which would provide for a thorough investigation of the army. He declares that the United States should be given an efficient fight ing force in return for the $loO,OoO,0OO, and more expended every year on the mill itary establishments.
 T understand, said Representative Kahn, in commenting on his resolution, that the recent mobilization on the Mex iean frontier was really failure. True
 the troops were promptly dispatched tc the place of rendezvous, but having ar rived at their destination it developed there was such lack of organization that it required several months to make the one division of troops that were mobilized in Texas half way effective.
 This would indicate that under our present system it is impossible to mobi- ize a single division of troops at war strength within a reasonable time. It clearly shows that something is radically wrong and the sooner we find out what that something is the better for the coun- try. We expend upwards of $1O0, GOO a year on our military establishment. It ought to be in complete state of pre- paredness for any possible emergency"

CONSTABLES STILL
 HOLD OFFICES

Montgomery, June 17.-(Special.) )-An interesting joker" in connection with the inferior court bill of Montgomery has been discovered, though it can work no change in the law, nor operate against its usefulness. The joker" is ins the fact that the law which abol- ishes the office of justice of peace in the city, fails to abolish the office of constable, the result being that these officials are still in office, though without any means of compensation. It Is taken for granted that similar flaws exist in the inferior court bills of Bir- mingham and Mobile.
 Constables of Montgomery have been compensated by the sheriff and the justices of the peace. Abolition of the magistrates court, however. has de- prived the constables of that source of income, while the sheriffs force has been sufficiently large without the em- ployment of the deposed officers.
 They will remain constables in name until their term of office expires, at which time there will be no further appointments

REVIVAL FEATURES
 EPWORTH LEAGUE

Florence, June 17.-(S Special The second day of the North Alabama Ep- worth League conference was opened this morning with a fine talk on the Establishment of the Kingdom of Christ on Earth" by Rev L. D. Pat terson of Birmingham. President Pur- cell then took the chair and opened the business session. The committee on permanent place of meeting reported tory place and asked to be continued another year Blount Springs and Bir- mingham college were offered. but it was the sense of the conference that a secluded place, near some big springs and under the shade of tall trees would be more suitable. The report was adopted without discussion.
 The office of field secretary was abolished and the duties of that office will devolve upon district secretaries.
 The report from the committee on resolutions was read and laid on the table until after noon.
 Rev. l.. F. Parrish of Bessemer de- livered the address at 11;15 o'clock when the conference adjourned to par take of the fine dinner served in the basement of the church by the ladies of the mission societies.
 On Friday evening Rev. George Stoves of Anniston spoke on "Evangelization, " which has been the theme of most of the speakers, following the wishes of the bishops at the last general confer ence, who requested that the next quadrennial be one of revival.

 Prepare for Arrival
 Tonr before the Kings procession leaves Buckingham palace the aopey ls the scene of great activity, as all the members of the royal family, who are not in the Kings procession, the rep resentatives of foreign countries, peers and peereses have to be in their allotted places some time before the King ar riyes at the abbey. The doors are therefore open at a. m., five hours before the actual services begin
 At coronation of King EdWafo' o" ing to the congestion of traffic caused bv +he numerous carriages making to- ward the same point, many Of the peers and peeresses had to leave their car riages at some distance from the abbey and walk the rest of the way The earI marshall who is responsible Tor all ar rangements, had issued warning pre- viously that this might be hecessais in order to avoid their being shut out Of the abbey Some of the late ar rivals were so nervous of missing the ceremony that when they left thelr carriages they tucked their robes ana coronets under their arms and ran-an undignif1ed sight which tickeled the general public in the stands along thls part of the route immensely. The same thing will probably occur at King Georges coronation.
 During the whole 10 days to be devoted to the festivities here, American women, especially those who have long stood hish in the social life of the court and city, will occupy a prominent part in the pub lie eye.
 Not only will they be in evidence al the coronation supper by virtue of thelr rank and the magnif1cenoe of their jew els for there are dozen highly-placed peeresses of American birth, but others without rank, but with the power that comes from intelligence and money, Will outshine many of their insular competi- tors.
 Mrs John Hays Hammond, who as wire of the United States envoy. commands attention with her husband wherever she goes. will entertain extensively in the house of late Baroness Burdett-Coutts in Picadllly. Mrs. Hammonds gown Will be one of the wonders of the coronation where no expense has been spared to produce the most beautiful creations.
 Of course throughout the fetes and the reviews, extending from Monday until the 90th, such peeresses as the Duchess or Roxburgh who was Miss May Goelet Of New York; the Duchess of Manchester, who was Miss Helena Zimmerman of Cincinnati; the Countess of Granarad, vino was Miss Mills Lady Deces and others who enjoy the favor of the Queen, will be the envied of their less fortunate sisters. For these ladies not only possess ancient names, but great wealth as f1t- ting accompaniment.
