 Humphrey Steed, drayman of African antecedents, was hauled before the bar of justice and charged with hauling along the kings highway a cask filled with bottles said to contain the amber and ambrosial fluid that made Milwaukee famous
 The policeman who placed the Ethiopian with the euphonious name under arrest testified that they he had not only cap tured the negro, but had also seized the alleged contraband goods, and had brought them within the portals of the forum so ably presided over by Judge Black
 When cross-examined by the counsel for the defense as to how he knew the bottles aforesaid contained beer, and not furniture polish or embalming fuid the arresting officer replied that "he knew beer when he saw it. This did not sat sfy counsel, who objected on the ground 1t was not direct testimony Judge Black ended the argument by sending the witness, accompanied by a brother of ficer, on a tour of Investigation
 The. promptness with which the sug- gestion was put into execution by the of ficer was only equalled by the look of triumph on his countenance when he re- turned.
 Producing from his pocket bottle lab eled, corked and stamped, he placed 1t on the judges desk and said, "Its beer alright"
 Sure of it?" queried counsel, as he picked up the bottle and gazed at it with a quizzed air.
 Quite sure"
 So you can tell beer by looking at the bottle. eh?"
 No, sir"

An order was issued yesterday by Judge John C. Pugh. citing Attorney Charles R Powell to appear before the circuit court on October 1G and make answer to charges brought against him in a disbar- ment proceeding filed yesterday In the style of the State of Alabama ex rel. Joseph R. Tate.

 The following statement was authorized yesterday by John c. Carmichael and re,ix F. Blackburn, attorneys for MT. Powell:
 birmingham, Ala, July IS.
 .sWhile MT. Powell regrets that his character as an attorney is assailed oy the Rar association, and an attempt IS hsins made to take his professional life, so +o sneak. vet he does not fear the con soouences of a full fair public and inn martial trial in the courts or ms state No trial so far has been held, the Bar association under the law being simply inc accuser and the proceedings have neen instituted upon its accusation. MT Fowelrs attorneys have no desire to try his case in the newspapers, and only eX- pect a suspension of Judgment Tn the mind of the public until the case has been tried in the orderly procedure of the trib- unal which has the power to hear and de- termine the matter.

DISCUSS PARK SALE
 ADVERTISEMENTS
Commission Does Not Feel Like An nulling Permit Granted
 to Church

The park commissioners and Commls- sioner James Weatherly went over the mix-up in reference to the refreshment sales right in Capitol park at the meet ing yesterday.
 On account of a misunderstanding the city commissioners granted the rights to Capitol park to church. The board of park commissioners gave the Music Study club the sale right in all parks. A conflict arose and a change of place for the concerts resulted. '
 Commissioner Weathly explained that he did not feel warranted in annuling the permission granted to the church unless that body relinquished the right willing ly. This is not regarded as likely.
 As the proposition now stands the Music Study club may sell in Capitol park, but not exclusively. They may sell exclusively in all other parks.
 Next year the sole right to all parks will be given the Music Study club.
