SMITH PRELIMINARY
 HEARING ON MONDAY
Evidence of Sensational Nature Ex- pected in Murder Case at
 Montgomery

Montgomery. June 29.-(SpeeiaL) J. Evidence of a sensational nature is ex- pected to be brought outs by the state on next Monday at the preliminary hearing of Louis Smith, who is charged with the killing of Brooks Fuller. which occurred in this city two weeks ago It is declared that Solicitor Seibels on Monday will attempt to show that Full ler's death was the result of a well defined plot and that others besides Smith will be implicated.
 Brooks Fuller was shot while passing along Commerce street in his automo- bile two weeks ago. Louis Smith was arrested, though it was declared that there was no direct evidence incrim- mating him. The prolonged inability of the police and sheriff to obtain any evidence led Governor O'Neal to order a special term of the circuit court of Montgomery to make an investigation
 Owing to certain technicalities it was learned that the chief executive could not call a special term of the court in this county and the case was set for a hearing before Judge Screws of the inferior court.

GUNTER SUSPENDS 1. DETECTIVE ROBERTS
Montgomery Officer Found in Tiger When Sheriff
 Raided Place

Montgomery, June 29.-(special.) )-Be- cause he was found in a blind tiger when Sheriff Horace Hood raided the place Sunday morning, City Detective O. c. Roberts has been suspended. pending an investigation. The order suspending Rob erts was issued by President w A. Gun ter. Jr., of the city commission
 Roberts defense will be that he was in the blind tiger to secure enough evil dence to warrant an arrest. An investi- gation will be conducted by Police Com missioner c. P. Mcintyre when he re- turns from the democratic convention.
 Detective Roberts declares he will be able to prove that he was doing his duty when officers entered the saloon. The detective was in plain clothes at the time President Gunter cannot understand why Roberts chose Sunday morning as the time for an investigation
 Roberts suspension created much in terest in official circles and members of the police department have complained 10 the commission. They say that the detectives presence in the illegal saloon Is a reflection on the entire police de- rartment. Several policemen. have re- quested the commission to refuse to rein state Roberts.

Two Old Line Industrial Com
 panies Consolidated

Rome. Ga, June 29-Two old line indus trial life companies in Rome, Ga.-the Rome Life and the Cherokee Life-have just consolidated their business, which will be administered in future by the Cherokee Life Insurance company This is the largest merger of insurance inter- ests ever effected in the south, the com bined business representing the establish ment of the first life company writing an industrial business of large propor- tions south of Virginia.
 Officials of the Cherokee Life state that the company now has outstanding about Sl5,0000o0 of insurance, represent- ing merger of S9.0oo0OO of insurance Of the Rome Life and about S6,00),000 of insurance of the Cherokee Life. The com bined industrial debits, according to the officers, gives to the Cherokee Life an au- nual premium income of $450.000, and it's net surplus to policyholders, by a consol- idation of the assets of the two com panies. now amounts to more than $500, eco
 Both companies recently created lordi- nary life departments and the ordinary. as well as the industrial business, is brought together. The Cherokee Life win continue to operate both ordinary and in- dustrial departments. seeking to reduce the relative fixed charges of the business by selling both lines of life insurance under the one administration
 The absorption of the Rome Life by the Cherokee Life gas effected after thor ough investigation by and on the recom- mendation of Miles M Dawson, consulting actuary of New York. who was retained by both companies to bring about mer- ger of interests in an equitable manner. On the opinion of MT Dawson as well as on the opinion of the managers of both companies, the combination of interests will make for greater and more rapid profit for all interests by the elimination of competition between these two larger industrial companies and by drastic econ omies effected by administering the larger volume of business at substantially the same fixed charge.
