WILL STOP SALE OF
 ALL HARMFUL DRUGS
Bodeker Issues Order to Police Saying Sale of Morphine and Cocaine
 Must Stop

Police Department---There are a great many complaints coming to me regarding the sale of morphine and cocaine. You are hereby instructed to use every effort to cause the arrest of druggists who are selling this dead ly drug. I think this is one of the wrost habits known to mankind, and I insist that every member of this de- partment do his full duty toward breaking up this practice.
 GEORGE H. BODEKER

 The above order was issued yester- day afternoon to the police depart ment by Chief Bodeker. As he says in his report there are daily complaints received by him from. not only one per- son, but from many who are complain ing about this stuff being sold The chief stated last night that the law was going to be vigorously applied in every respect to cocaine and morphine selling. Not only the older people and the known confirmed habitual users are purchasing these drugs. but there are a lot of young men and women in the city who are becoming addicted to its use,' said Chief Bodeker last night.
 During the past several months there have been several ruggists in the city arrested. tried and heavily fined for selling this stuff. We are going to stop them all from selling 1t indis- criminately," said the chief

KENNEDY SWEPT BY l
 DISASTROUS FIRE ,
Entire Business Section Was Swept by Flames Yester-
 day-Loss S50,000

Columbus, Miss, May, H.-(Special')- Kennedy. Ala. 90 miles east of Columbus on the railway between this point and Birmingham had its entire business sec tion devastated by fire this morning at o'clock. Itis estimated that oyer $oo,- 600 worth of buildings and stocks of mer- chandise went up in smoke. There is practically no insurance to offset this damage. Only buildings belonging to J. ". Gass and the Ashiraft building were saved
 The still night with practically no wind to fan the flames is the only reason these two buildings and all the residences of this prosperous little town were not sutted by the flames The place is with out any protection from fire.
 When 1t was discovered fire was eating the postoffice, a small frame structure. A bucket brigade was formed and for a while 1t looked like the eonflagaration could not be avoided The large general merchandise store of E. P. Phillips & Son.. with its s12,O00 stock of goods. and no insurance, was soon ignited and then the only course was to move stocks of goods from those structures dotting the path of the flames seemed destined to take.
 All mail supplies, stamps and every thing in the postoffice were lost. N. L. Long, another extensive wholesale estab- lishment. lost $10,000. c. T. Cobb & Co.,, grocers. lost 5000. S. c. M Trimm lost a building and $5000 stock of goods and there were numerous other losses. A hotel valued at 5000 was burned.

W. A. PERCY IN VERY
 SERIOUS CONDITION
Prominent Memphis Attor- ney Stricken While Attend
 ing Committee Meeting

Nashville May 14-W. A. Percy of Memphis. brother of Senator LeRoy E Percy of Mississippi, who collapsed this afternoon while in attendance upon a meeting of the democratic state com mittee at a local hotel, is still in a critical condition. although his physi- clans say he is somewhat better to- night
 As yet the doctors have made no statement as to what is wrong with MT. Percy. Their first impression was, that he was suffering from ptomaine poisoning, but the men who ate lunch con with him at local cafe said he had nothing. but pea soup and coffee, and consequently there seems to be little likelihood that he was poisoned at that meal. After Mr. Percy had swooned he seemed to regain conscious ness and in response to the request of one of his physicians stuck out his tongue for examination. However, he was unable to talk and for a time the doctors entertained but little hope for his recovery.
 w A. Percy. who was stricken yes terday in Nashville. is also a brother of walker Percy of Birmingham who left for Nashville last night to be at his brothers bedside. -
 according to information given Walker Percy last night by telephone, the physicians were still undecided whether the stroke was result of .apoplexy or urenic poisoning. He was still unconscious last night and his att tending physicians were unable to say whether he would rally.
 w. A. Percy is prominent attorney of Memphis, and was in Nashville argu- ing case when attacked. He Is 49 years old and has always appeared to be a picture of health and has never before had any serious illness.
 He has many friends in Birmingham.
 Senator Lea, Congressman McKellar and a number of other friends were with him at the time he was stricken and at once advised Senator Percy and other mem- bers of the sick mans family.

COTTON FIRM SUING
 .L.& NAT HUNTSVILLE
Eccles' Suit Being Tried in us. COurt-Grows Out
 of Knight Failure

l Huntsville. May 14.-(Special) )--The trial of the suit of Alexander Eccles & Co. against the Louisville and Nashville rail- road was begun in the United States court today. The suit grows out of the operations of Knight, Yancey 6 Co.,, and involves the value of 1000 bales of cotton which the plaintiffs claim they paid for and never received. The defendant rail road is represented by Geogory l.. Smith and John c. Eyester, while the plaintiffs are represented by Percy, Benners 6 Burr of Birmingham. Harrington Bing- ham and Englar of New York, and Cal lahan & Harris of Decatur.
 jury was chosen mainly from the 12 men who sat in their chairs in the jury box. The jury consists of six farmers. a school teacher, a real estate agent and four merchants.
 The suit Is based on the claim that the Louisville and Nashville issued or caused to be issued certain bills of lading on which cotton was never delivered, although the drafts attached to such bills were paid by the plaintiffs by reason of which the plaintiffs suffered financial loss y
 Attorney Burr represented the complain ants, charging the Louisville and Nash vile railroad with having full knowledge of the practice of Knight, Yancey & Co. in handling bills of lading for which no cotton was ever delivered The plaintiff will attempt to prove that J. A. Bywa- ters, foreign export agent of the Louis vile and Nashville. gave John ". Knight authority to ante-date ladings.
 Attorney Gregory l.. Smith entered n general denial of the allegations in the bill of complaint. All this afternoon was consumed by the court in hearing a mass of evidence presented to notaries In Eng land
 The trial is expected to continue through the present week, if not longer. Every point will be contested. because it is generally understood that the case will have a strong bearing upon other suits of like nature involving oyer 5000, ,00O
