SUPREME COURT HANDS
DOWN 20 DECISIONS
BEFORE ADJOURNING

Montgomery, June -(Special)-
Before adjourning for the summer
months the supreme court of Alabama
late this afternoon handed down 26 de-
cisions. thereby clearing the docket of
some of the most important cases that
have been before that tribunal during
| the past year.
One of the most important decisions
put by the supreme court was in the
| case of r. e. spraggins ct al as state
highway commission, against jefferson
county, appealed from the Montgomery
city court This case grew out of an
effort on the part of the Jefferson board
of revenue to collect $1,000 from the
state highway commission for the 1911
appropriation, which was promised that
county for road construction. The pay-
ment of the sum in question was re-
fused on the ground that the appropria
tion had not been used within two
years after 1t was available, the state
holding that the Legislative enactment
creating the highway commission did
not authorize the payment of the
money
The case was first heard in the Mont
gomery city court before Judge CASTOR
or the Jefferson hoard of revenue The
judgment of the lower court was reversed
today by the supreme court, and the case
was remanded for new trial. The court
held, in an opinion written by Judge Da-
graffenreid. that 1t was mot the purpose
of the legislature to permit a laggard
county for the use of which money had
been appropriated in one year, to thereby
place itself on the same footing and entitle
ffa, n
county more diligent in asking for the
appropriation. Jefferson county did not
ask for the 1911 appropriation until late
in 1872.
Another important case put out by the
court was In the case of the railroad COM
mission against the Alabama Great South
ern and other railroads entering Besse-
mer, the court affirming the order of the
commission directing the railroads to
build union depot at Bessemer. In the
Birmingham city court this case was de-
cided against the state. For the fourth
time the supreme court has reversed and
remanded the case OF Erwin Pope against
the state, appealed from the Admission city
court. Pope, negro, was convicted of
first degree murder in 1909 and sentenced
to be hanged The case was reversed by
the supreme court on the ground of tech
nical error and Pope was again given the
oeath sentence by the trial court. Judg-
ment of the lower court was again re-
Versed and the court on the third trial
again decided that Pope must hang. This
was the judgment of the trial court also
on the fourth trial
Pope's case was reversed this time be-
cause certain evidence had been denied.
Judges McCleland and Somerville dis
sented from the opinion fthe court.
The supreme court sustained the iudg
ment of the Bibb circuit court iii sen
fencing Jack Johnson, a negro, to death
for tbs murder of Josh Grimes, another
negro. Johnson was serving a term of
life Imprisonment for the murder at the
time he killed Grimes his sentence having
been commuted by Gevornor O'Neal the
court fixed the date for Johnsons execu-
tion for Friday, August %.

New York, June 30.-In a statement Is
sued tonight Colonel George Pope, presl-
dent of the National Association CT Man
ufacturers replied to the charges made
by Martin M. Mulhall, In reference to tho
political activities of the association. The
charges deserve attention, the statement
said. and eve shall endeavor to see to it
that not only the subject matter of these
charges, but the whole field of matters
relating to so-called labor legislation at
Washington shall receive the fullest in
vestigalion and publicity, for the subject
is one of the most vital and important
now before the American public"

Await Action of Senate

I'VE shall await the action of the Sem
ate committee before which Mr. Mulhall
had been subpoenaed, to the end that
under oath and before official body,
the particulars of the indictment may be
made authentic and specific. We trust
the action of that committee will be
speedy and thorough, and Il desired, will
cooperate with it in every way possible
to ascertain the full truth"
In connection with Mr.. Mulhalfs EN-
ployment with the association Colonel
Pope declared that Mr.. Mulhalrs con-
nec;ion with this association was severed
by dismissal October %, 1911, and he has
had no right to represent it in any ca
pacity since that time although we have
received information from various sources
that he has done so. Some of his most
serious charges relate to events subse-
quent to that time.
During mis- connection with the asso-
citation. Mr.. Mulhall was continuously
promoting, as has since been learned,
many private and personal matters of
his own, especially in the political field.
In these private matters he has used the
name of the association and assumed to
represent it without authority and 1t was
the discover of activities of this kind on
his part coupled with other serious be-
trayals of trust that was responsible for
his dismissal by the association.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-01
Continuing Statement

Continuing the statement declares that
the National Association of Manufact-
urers has never in any way, by the use
of money, influence or suggestion opposed
any child labor law, compulsory educa-
ton law. or other laws to better the
condition of working women as set forth
in the Mulhall statement. On the con-
trary, the statement says, the association
has been recognized leader in the move
ment for the prevention and compensa-
ton of work accidents, vocational train
ing, industrial betterment, the develop
ment of the American Merchant marine
and the extension and upbulding of for
eign commerce.
While making these denials OF activity
and opposition to the legislation men
toned, the statement refers to the re-
ports of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor at its
convention in November, 1872 saying the
public may find some reason and neces
sity for political interest and activity on
the part of the business men of the coun-
try" The statement quoted the report
of Mrs. Gompers in full, adding that "of
all the measures proposed and demanded
by the federation (The American Fedora
ton of Labor only those were opposed
by this association which were OF the
most flagrant and partisan species of
pernicious class legislation

Chief Among Laws

the statement cites the amendment adopt
ed at the present session Of Congress of
the sundry civil bill prohibiting the use
of the money appropriated to the depart
ment of justice to prosecute farmers or
ganizations and labor unions under the
Sherman antitrust act. This association,
says the statement has opposed such
legislation and will continue to do so with
every legitimate resource at its command
TN conclusion" the statement says,
"the association can only ask and be-
Iieve that every fair minded man will
await the facts brought out by official
inquiry and that In reading that the So
called disclosures of Mr.. Mulhall he will
remember that political activity can be
for legitimate and proper purposes as
well as for corrupt and improper ones.'

was taken to confirm the mothers story,
which. according to the police, is that
she herself chloroformed Frances to pre-
vent C. L. Anderson, her former husband,
learning that she had an illegitimate
child. The fact that the girls life was
insured for $3.50 also may have had in
fluence, the police say.
