Attorney General Transmits Biennial Report to O'Neal
 for the Past Year
SUGGESTS CHANGES
 IN MURDER TRIALS
Suggestions Relative to Changes in System of Special Charges Also Recommended in the Report.
 Gives Interesting Figures

Montgomery, october 3.-(speciaL)- Asserting that the authority of the attorney general is too circumscribed to allow him to be in fact, as he Is In theory, the chief law officer of the state," and recommending many changes in the judicial system of the state, Attorney General Robert c. Brickell today transmitted to Governor ONeal the biennial report of his de- partment for the period beginning De- tober l, 1910, and terminating Sep tember 90, 1912.
 Attorney General Brickell points out in his letter to the governor that the work of his department has sreally increased during the past two years as a result of the law of the last legis- lature increasing the number or eA- aminers of public accounts and eXtend- ing their jurisdiction over county as well as state officers. According to the attorney general, the demands from those examiners for opinions upon mat ters with which the attorney general did not heretofore have any connection. have been greater than that of all the other departments of the state gov eInment."
 The growth and development of the state, according to Attorney General Brickell, is such that the demands upon that office constantly increase. and he asserts that this growth will shortly be so marked to require the entire time, not only of the attorney general, but also of his two assistants.

Some Recommendations

Attorney 1tHtIdi DllChtll ihoNoS eA number of recommendations in his let ter to the governor Among these rec concentrations there are several sug- gestions relative to changes in the law regarding the trial of criminal and murder cases.
 "A statute should be enacted.' de- clared Attorney General Brick ell, pro viding that whenever defendant in- dicted for any degree of homicide is convicted of a lesser degree, and the Judgment of conviction Is reversed upon his appeal, or if new trial be granted by the trial court upon the motion of the defendant, that in that event the defendant should be placed upon trial for the crime charged in tho indictment as if there had been no pre- vious trial,''
 Attorney General Brickell declares that in all the criminal history of the state he has been unable to learn or a single instance in which jury has rendered a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity, although, he de- clares, this Is a very popular defense.
 The recommendation Is made that the plea of not guilty by reason of insanity should be tried by separate jury, which cnaDRe AltDliity 0tHtfai ipiithti thiiiA' will go far towards reducing the num- Der of homicides in Alabama.
 Suggestions relative to changes in the system of special charges are also recom- mended in the attorney generals report, as well as recommendations indorsing Judge J. C, Anderson's suggestions rela- tive to appeals in criminal cases.
 Regarding the enlarged duties of the attorney general the recommendation is made that that officer. or his assistant, he allowed to appear before any grand jury in the state and present any matter to them for investigation with the same au- thority as is now vested in the solicitor He thinks the attorney general should also be allowed to employ any special counsel, with the approval of the gov ernor, and that such special counsel should perform duties assigned them as

BADLY WOUNDED
BUCK RAN OVER
STATE LINE
Shot BY Some POacher in
Massachusetts
KILLED BY WARDEN'S ORDER
Deer With Broken Hind Leg Came
into Vermont Near Broad Brook
Reservoir

A buck deer which will weigh
nearly 200 pounds and which was
shot by some poaching hunter in
the town of Williamstown, Mass,
and which ran across the state line,
after being wounded, is hanging in
the Burke market on South street.
The rife bullet fired at the buck
by the Massachusetts poacher passed
through and broke one ofthe animals
hind legs between the knee and hip.
The buck ran some distance after
being wounded and came across the
state line into Pownal near the broad
brook reservoir. The buck, as is
nearly always the case with wounded
deer, took to the water and was
seen to enter the stream near the
house of the reservoir custodian, II.
s. Murphy. Mr.. Murphy telephoned
TO County Game Warden Higgins that
the deer was in the brook and so
badly wounded that there was no
chance of saving its life. The war
den told the custodian to kill the
buck and to then notify one Of the
Pownal deputy wardens. Mr.. Muir
ply borrowed a rife of one of his
neighbors and shot the wounded
buck through the head.
Saturday afternoon. one of the
Pownal deputies brought the buck
into the village and took 1t to the
market The buck was in fine con-
diton being much fatter than would
naturally be expected at this time of
the year. 1t had shed its antlers,
one having been rubbed from the
skull but a few days before the ami
NAL was shot
The deer was hung up in the mar
ket and It was the intention OF Will
liam S. Cullinan to put the venison
ON sale on Thursday Today nego-
tiations were started with the Rut-
land County Fish and Game club
which holds a banquet in Rutland on
Thursday evening for the disposal OF
the venison and 1t is not unlikely
that the buck will be shipped to that
city.

"cALLlNe OF THE TEACHER"
Address at Congregational Church by
Ex-President Carter Of Williams

The fifth address In the course up
on the ideals of the various profes-
sions which has been arranged by the
pastor of the Second Congregational
church was given in that church last
night before a large congregation by
Ex-President Franklin Carter of Will
liams College. Mr.. Carter spoke
upon THE Calling of the Teacher"
The address was a careful and fin
ishSd study of the finest qualities de-
manded OF the successful teacher.
Particular emphasis was placed up
on the teaching and trainingfo char
acter. Illuminating reference was
made to some great teachers Of the
past, notably of the college faculty
az Yale fifty years ago Such men
of commanding personality and
strong moral influence were also to
be found on the faculties OF other
colleges. 1t is serious question Of
today in seeking men who are spec.
lalists In some one branch OF schol-
arship that there is not a
loss in securing men OF
breadth and of personal pow
er over students. Not alone in the
colleges, but also in the public
schools and in the country district
schools there is great opportunity for
the teacher Of noble character DR..
Carter was Obliged to leave unspoken
the last part of his prepared address
in order to make his car. but very
happily closed with a characteristic
story OF Mark Hopkins.

LOWER neutrality-suspicious.
Bill 10 Be introduced In Congress as
Result Of High Price OF Butter

Washington, Jan. 22-The increase
in the price of butter ordered by the
Elgin butter board and the prediction
that the commodity will go to 90
cents pound has given impetus to
the campaign in Congress for n re.
duotion in the oleomargarine tax.
Chairman Lever OF the subcommittee
of the House committee on agricul'
ture which has been considering the
oleomargarine bills. will recommend
a bill to the whole committee today
designed to lower the tax on oleo-
margarine from 10 cents to less than
one cent q pound.
The bill provides a ine and impris'
onment for the sale OF oleomargarine
under the guise Of butter. The chair
man hopes to get Il through the
House within month. II is believ.
cd this will do something to lower
the cost OF living. Letters from
women's clubs, labor organizations
and various civic bodies have been
sent the committee in great numbers
since the butter market quotations
from Elgin have become generally
known.

are on the other side of the mountain
that the road should go down the

that the state highway commission
is somewhat convinced that the Cold

route is much longer and that some
