HUSBAND HANGS
 HIMSELF 3 TIMES

Paris, March 3O.-(speeial.l IA deter mined case of suicide is that of a man named Deschamps. whose business It was to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants of village situated in the neighborhood of Corbel. He had for some time been In depressed state, and when his wife, who had been mar keting, returned to their home in the morning. she found him hanging in the bedroom. She cut her husband down and was able to restore him to consciousness, but she had scarcely left him when he hanged himself again.
 The poor woman released him once more and her cries brought the neigh bors to the house Deschamps was per suaded to go to bed, and as he pretended to be asleep, his wife, completely reas- sured, returned to her household duties. After while she went mp to the bed room to see how her husband was getting on, and, to her horror, she found that he had gone away After a long search, in which kind neighbors assisted, Des- champs was discovered hanging in a barn and this time every effort to restore him to consciousness proved vain.

ATKINS MANAGERS
 APPEAR CONFIDENT

Selma, March 30.-f -fSpecial. )=From the Atkins campaign committee head quarters in this city today was issued the following in regard to the result of the contest for congressman at large, which will be settled at the polls on Monday
 Senator Atkins has made an active and personal campaign In 56 counties and has organized an Atkins campaign committee In each county in the state. and in counties where it has been im- possible for him to make a personal campiagn friends and supporters have urged his cause
 "The result of Mondays election Is not even remotely doubtful. He will be chosen congressman at large over his other competitors by handsome plu rality if not a majority over all of them combined.
 Tt would be difficult to say what part of the state will give to Senator Atkins the largest vote. The Tennessee valley has united with the wiregrass section and east Alabama with west Alabama, while central Alabama and the counties in the far south are equally enthusias- tic for Senator Atkins. In the three largest counties in the state, Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery, Senator Atkins will receive vastly more votes than all of his competitors combined. In Mo bile, Birmingham and in Montgomery city his majority will foot way up into the thousands, but this is not to be taken as minimizing the aggregate that will be made up from the counties.
 "There will hardly be a precinct in Alabama on Monday but where strong, jealous Atkins supporters will attend the polls and urge his election"

 When the bill was taken up today the House agreed to a proposal of Majority Leader Underwood that a vote be taken Monday.

ASK K|NDNESSFRO RAILWAY EMPLOYES
Instructions Tell of Benefits From Civility to
 Passengers

The railroads entering Birmingham are striving to educate the trainmen to the great benefits that come from civility and kindness to passengers on trains. re- cent circular has been sent out by -he management of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad setting out that nothing can contribute any more to a travellers comfort than to be cordially greeted and made to feel at home on a railroad train.
 Taken as a general proposition it Is held by railroad men of wide information that no one feature of transportation has caused such widespread impatence with railroads as III treatment from minor em- p.oyes.
 To educate the trainmen to go the full limit in the eordiality of their conduct toward travellers the following has been issued by the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic:
 When a passenger goes to a ticket of fee and is met pleasantly and answered cheerfulIy and cordially by ticket agents and other station attaches and when he boards a train and is met by an at tentive porter who takes his bag, and a courteous conductor who assigns him to a. seat or berth in a welcoming tone, his trip has begun pleasantly.
 Later on when the conductor comes around and takes up his ticket as if 1t were a pleasure, instead of duty the passenger begins to feel that he is in the hands of friends who have his welfare and comfort at heart. And when he has a good meal promptly and deftly served in the dining car and afterwards finds some eongenial people with whom he. can converse, he realizes that there is genu- Inc enjoyment in the modern means of travel.
 It should be the constant aim of those dealing with the public, particularly ticket agents conductors and other train em- ployes, to set and maintain the standard as outlined above in dealing with the travelling public.
 ''Civility, courtesy and good manners cannot fail to send forth favorable im- pression of the company. As far as train employees are concerned every passenger should be considered as on pleasure trip and every effort should be used to make 1t so.
 This office is not prompted to send out the above by any report of lack of cor dial, civil or polite treatment of the pub lie by our employees, but it is felt that we have established reputation for cour- tesy which we should strive to maintain, and if we do this the good will of the public will be ours. and it Is universally agreed that this is a most valuable asset to any business, and especially in the operation of transportation lines.

FATHER BREAKS
 HIS CH|LD'S NECK
Parent Is Jailed in Geneva Charged With an Atro-
 ci0us Murder

Bonifay. Fla, March 30.-Holmes county is so stirred over the killing of a youth named Spigner near Noma yesterday that Brett Spigner, father of the boy and all legged murderer, who was arrested at Geneva, Ala, late yesterday, will be held in the Alabama jail a few days for safekeeping.
 According to information furnished the authorities by negro turpentine worker claiming he witnessed the crime. Brett Spgner struck his son with such force as to break his neck just because the boy had failed to perform some duty in strict accordance with the fathers dlc- tates. The boy died instantly and the father, wishing to hide the crime, buried the body in a branch near the field in which the two had been working. The "turpentine" negro says then Spig- ner discovered him hiding in the woods and threatened to kill him if he told of the crime. The negro reported the case to the officers and Spgner was captured by the aid of bloodhounds.
 Spgner served several months in jail three years ago for hitting his sister in the head with a stick. The woman was unconscious for several hours.

TAXI DRIVER HIT
 WITH BRICK BATS

Paris. March So.-Tremendous excite ment prepailed on the boulevard St. Mar tin when the driver of taxi, with a municipal guard seated at his side to protect him, was treated to a shower of bricks by a party of drivers on strike, who had just emerged from the labor exchange, where they had been holding a meeting.
 Bicycle policemen, who had followed them, singled out one of the most az gressive and were about to arrest him when he sped away. As he was on the point of being caught he pulled revol- yer out of his pocket and fired on them. The bullets whistled by their ears but fortunately no was was hit.
 When the man, who had thrown his revolver away, was finally captured the crowd which gathered round thrashei him soundly and he was in a sorry con ditlon when he was. taken to the station. He is now an inmate of the depot at the prefecture of police on the double charge of attempted murder and the car rying of a forbidden weapon.
