Just when thu Is to be done has not as yet been ah- nounced The assessments here in com mon with all parts of the state, are said to be entirely too low and many changes will likely be made

SCHEU|NG IS HELD FOR SABINE DEATH Pneumonia Caused By Fist
 Blow in Side IS A PECULIAR CASE Vanderputte Is to Head the Bessemer Truckers Association-St. Der nard College to Install
 Heating Plant
IS A PECULIAR CASE

Cullman, May 31.-(Special.) )-Following upon the heels of the report submitted to Justice of the Peace Fred J. Buch- mann, by the coroner's jury empaneled to make an Investigation as to the. cause of the death of c. A. Sabine an unknown man who died at the Brewer boarding house in this city some days ago. w. J. Scheuing was yesterday arrested, charged with the murder of the man, and placed under s50O0 bond, which he readily fur nished.
 The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff John Sparks, near Ramp Kilkare, in this county where Scheuing was with a party of friends on a fishing trip He sub mitted readily to the arrest and after coming to Cullman, by agreement of So- licitor S. J. Griffin, and Justice of the Peace Amil Ahlrichs, before whose court the warrant was made returnable, the bond was fixed and Scheuing was not placed in jail
 In speaking of the matter Solicitor Griffin said that he had all the evidence in the case, and that he could see no reason why MT Scheuing should be placed in jail to await a preliminary hearing, because under the evidence he would be entitled to bail at a preliminary hearing, and to place the man in jail at this time would be useless.
 It is charged that Sabine came to his death by blow received in the left side, and it is charged that Sabine was in the soft drink stand operated sby Scheuing when the blow was inflicted. A number of witnesses were examined at the coro- ner's inquest and it was upon this testi- mony that Scheuing was arrested charged with having struck the blow that caused the mans death.

MOVE TO FIGHT PELLACRA.
Physicians 10 Meet In Kentucky To
Study The Epidemic.

Official announcement was made
Tuesday by the Eastern Kentucky
Asylum at Lexington that three
deaths from pellagra had occurred
there in two days. There are also
several patients in a serious condition.
At the two other asylums in Ken
lucky, it is said, there are more than
100 cases, and contrary to reports the
disease is spreading, giving rise TO
the theory that pellagra is contagious.
One hundred Kentucky physicians will
meet at Corbin this week with the
State Board of Health, a representa-
tive from the Federal Government and
one or two physicians from the Rocke-
Teller Institute in New York city.
In order to test the various stages
of pellagra patients who were sus-
pected of having the disease, with
those who have had the disease for a
week or two, and several that are in
serious condition, will be taken
before the physicians and experiments
will be made upon them in the hope
of finding some remedy.
Physicians from all over the State
are filing reports of pellagra and
across the border in Tennessee, it is
said there are forty or fifty cases in
two counties. A case of pellagra
exists in a patient at the Emergency
Hospital, this city.

STIMSON LEAVES CUBA.
Battleship Also Conveys Body OF Lieut..
Merritt, Maine Officer.

Secretary Stimson and his party
sailed Tuesday from Havana, Cuba.
for the United States on board the
battleship North Carolina. The body
of Lieutenant Merritt, the engineer
officer of the Maine, was taken along.
The flags of the Cabana fortress and
Moro Castle were at half mast.
Captain Tilford seemingly appre-
ciated the improperly of sending
Lieutenant Merritt's remains home on
collier and asked Captain Marsh to
take them and the latter consented.
The general sentiment here is that all
the bodies recovered from the Maine,
even though they have not been iden-
titled, should have the honor of con-
veyance on battleship instead of a
collier.
Secretary Stimson was immensely
pleased with Major Ferguson work
on the cofferdam and assured him that
all needful funds to finish the work
would be provided.

Successful Garden Party.

The ladies of Trinity NJ. E. Church,
South, gave a successful Garden Party
on Tuesday evening in the space adj
joining the church room. Trees were
planted in the grounds which had, in
the starlight, the appearance of a
living grove. Chinese lanterns, taste
fully grouped, gave a very charming
appearance to the fete. Ice cream,
cake, lemonade, bananas and candies
were for sale, and like Jack Sprat,
who could eat no fat, and his wife who
could eat no lean, the generous GUS
toners clicked the platter clean. -
Every article offered for sale was
taken. The ladies assisting were
Mrs. Beauregard Sears, Mrs. James
S. Nichols, Mrs. Herman Junge, Mrs.
Harry M. Cox and Mrs. Daniel Taylor.
The maids in waiting were Miss Ger
trude Nichols and Miss Ida Cox.
The platform that was erected last
summer for open-air meetings in the
hot weather, was pulled down on We'd
nesday. The city authorities are
about to extend Madison street to
Southgate avenue through the Murray
property, the bed of the street having
been donated to the city, and the
stadium had to be moved to make way
for the improvement.
Mr.. John S. Finnell, of Baltimore,
an acceptable speaker, will address
the Trinity congregation Sunday even
ing. Since he has been making these
weekly addresses the attendance of
adults upon the services has been
marked, and renewed interest is taken
in the church.
