SENTENCE NEGRO TO
 LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Attorney Moved to Quash Indictment on Grounds of Constitutional
 Rights

A motion to quash an indictment was made yesterday before Judge Cahalan on the grounds that the defendant, negro, had been deprived of his con- stitutlonal rights. The agreement was that notwithstanding the fact that number of negroes in the county are qualified to serve as jurors, not one had been summoned in any of the tribunals under which he had been in- dicted, from the coroner's jury to the grand inquistorial body, and therefore had not been examined or indicted by Q jury of his peers. The case was that of John Ford. colored, charged with the murder of al negro woman.
 The defendant was without funds to employ counsel so Judge Frank Ca halan appointed Attorney Dozier to de- fend the negro. MT. Dozier filed his motion as above stated and read number of authorities in it's support. The motion was oyerruled by Judge Cahelan. The attorney then asked for a continuance which was opposed by Assistant Solicitor Ed Winston and a jury was impaneled to try the case
 However. by agreement between the state and tie defendants counsel Ford entered a plea of guilty and agreed to accept sentence of life Imprisonment The jury was instructed to render the following verdict: We, the Jury, find John Ford guilty of murder in the first degree and fix his punishment at life Imprisonment in the penitentlary."

DENIES MOTION
 FOR INJUNCTION Coffee Trust Suit Strikes
 Snag in Courts MIGHT DROP SUIT
DROP SUIT
Secretary Knox Recommends Such Action, But Department of Justice Is Determined to Push Action
 to Conclusion

New York. May 2s.-Judge Lacomb this morning filed the decision of the federal circuit judges denying the mo- tion for an injunction to restrain the alleged Brazilian coffee valorization combine with parting with 95,000 bags of coffee in the warehouses of the New York dock company.
 In effect the application made by the government in connection with the Sherman law. suit brought against Herman Sielcken and the other mem bers of the Brazilian coffee valorization combine for a preliminary injunction restraining the defendants from part ing with or disposing of in any way these bags of coffee. Is denied. Judge I,acomb said
 "The numerous issues of fact and law which have been referred to in the hearing present important questions and contain too many elements of un- certainty to be decided summarily in advance of the trial.
 They may with greater propriety be disposed of when the testimony shall have disclosed the exact facts of the breakfast table product. The motion requested is denied.'

NEW WEIGHTS AND MEASURES LAWS
Resolution Offered to Ar range for Remaining of
 Streets

At the session of the board of city com missioners held yesterday Judge Lane ln- troduced an amended ordinance to regu- late weights and measures. While there is similar ordinance already in effect, number of new features have been add ed. including oil and other commodities. The measure is an important one and affects every one in the city more or less. The resolution was passed over un- til Friday
 A resolution was offered to constitute all the members of the board as com mittee to employ suitable person to rename reletter or renumber the streets of the city Since the advent of Greater Birmingham much confusion has arisen from the fact that within the confines of the greater city there are several First avenues, number of Fifty-third streets and duplicate names for many of the streets.
 The commissioners will give this matter their attention and as soon as practical will put some one to work on this i'm portant proposition.
