the Tuscaloosa presbytery in the pur-
chase of Marion Female seminary and
the same being taken over by the state
synod The North Alabama presbytery,
which is the largest in tie state, and
which is greatly interested in the
school at Talladega, resisted the prop
ostion and advanced the idea that the
building up of Marion seminary would
detract from the usefulness and at
tendance at Talladega, while those who
eontended for Marion were able to
show there was sufficient number of
girls and young women within 1O0
miles OF Marion who could be brought
10 the seminary to give it an attend
anee far in excess of the combined
attendance Of both schools al the pres
ent time. This assurance combined
with the excellent results the pres
ident. Rev. J. NJ Bate, has achieved
during the past two years convinced
a majority OF the synod that Marion $
plan was not only correct, but re-
quired the full Endorsement of every
Presbyterian in the state.
This action means a great deal for
Marion. as the present management has
been able to not only draw from the
families of this church. but among the
student body are Baptists, Christians and
Methodists, the plan of the board of
trustees being give first-cass college
education at an expense much less than
many schools are now charging.
The Rev. w. r. Carothers, pastor Of
the local church, in discussing the action
Of the synod, said:
We won every item we contended for
it means great things for the seminary"
Already about $1,000 has been sub
scribed for the erection of an auditorium
and music hall, and few months ago
an S-room annex was added to the dor
mitory department. Even this did not
accommodate those who ask admission at
the present session.

completed. That the case will not
reach the jury until tomorrow night
was assured while it is even possible
Judge. Quinn will not charge the jury
until Monday.
In his argument today the district
attorney dwelt chiefly on Caruso's con-
nection with the case He attacked the
defendants alibi and reviewed the tes-
timony of the commemorative wit
nesses, who said that Caruso partici-
pated in the riot. These witnesses, he
said. must be regarded as perjurers by
the Jury Il Caruso's abb is believed.
Speaking of Illegal assembly. the dis
triot attorney declared that the high
ways could not be used by one set
in community to carry on warfare
against another set.

Officers of the law do not do all
that in their judgment is necessary

ing, crowd of men acting concertedly
went from Common street to Union and
Garden streets, "bent upon an unlawful
purpose"
If we have proved" lie said. that
the defendant Caruso was in that crowd
and you are satisfied that he was there
he is as guilty as the man who pulled
the trigger of the revolver In this
case all We have to do to establish
the murder is to show that some one

June 6 to consider the contests filed
by Roosevelt and Taft delegates in

confronted with the problem of what

-Four years ago there were several
cases of this kind in louisiana, and
the National Committee seated the
double delegations with half a vote
each in the convention.
This year there are half dozen of
these cases already reported. and Sec
rotary Hayward has classed each as
a contest and referred them to the
National Committee for settlement,
taking the position that the local con

Among the instances where double
