SPECIAL FEE CASE.
At PROPER TIME
Supreme Court Refuses to
Hear Arguments Before
Regular Call

Montgomery, November 1S.-(speciaI. J
Efforts to place the special counsel case
involving the payment of $4,000 to at
torneys for fees before the supreme court
as an extraordinary matter failed when
Daniel w. Troy, attorney for the appel
iants, appeared In the court today. Mr..
Troy asked that decision of Judge Gas
ton Gunter OF the city court of Montgom-
cry, which declared certain section of
the state code unconstitutional, be passed
upon Immediately, but the court refused
to hear arguments before the regular call.
Payment of approximately $4,000 for spe-
cial attorneys salaries during the admin
istration of Governor O'Neal is involved.
Robert c. Brickell, attorney general, ruled
that the section providing for the employ
ment of special counsel was unconstitu-
tional because no mention of it was made
In the caption of the law. This opinion
was sustained by Judge Gunter when Mr..
Troy sued c. Brooks Smith, state auditor,
for s125 for special counsel fees.
Mr.. Troy has received about $4,000 from
the state as special counsel fees during
the past three years, and If the section
Is declared unconstitutional will probably
be sued for the amount.

Eufaula. Although street fair is in
progress with hundreds of visitors in
that city. the dreadful accident 16 mil es
from here has cast a heavy gloom over
the city and Eufaula can't be merry.
Old citizens of the town describe the
accident as tho worst In the history of
this section of the state and during the
day business was practically suspend

day long a steady stream of people
poured into the city anxious to learn
whether harm had befallen relatives
and friends in tho wreck.
In the meantime the injured here are
receiving all the medical attention pos
sible and the doctors are tireless in
their efforts to render aid. At Clayton
the same condition exists. many of the
homes OF the city having been con :
'verted into emergency hospitals, while
the residents of that place are ex-

SCENE OF WRECK
A PITIABLE ONE

Clayton, November 13.-(Special)
Pitiable in the extreme was the scene
of the Central of Georgia wreck near
here today. Amid the piles of wreck
age were scattered scores of dead and
injured.
One man lay under q fellow passen-
ger who was dead, for more than an
hour. unable to move on account of
his own injuries and was almost stifled
by the blood that fell from the body
above him.
Men. women and children lay helpless,
some wounded to their death; and the
scene was pitiable IN the extreme.
The wreck occurred at a remote
place several miles from habitation
of any sort. and it was quite a time
before help arrived. In the meantime
those passengers who were not crippled
beyond help did all in their power for
the suffering. extrieating many who
were pinned beneath the coaches
Some crawled out into the stream.
some to die. others to wait until as
sistance, autos, wagons. hacks and all
kinds OF vehicles were pressed into
service and the road was fairly
thronged with the wounded who were
being brought to town. Neither pain
nor expense was spared for the comfort
of those who were hurt. The homes
in the place were turned into hos
pitals whore the injured were given
attention by the physicians from this
and various other nearby towns. 4
deep gloom was cast over this COM
munity ana business was completely
suspended.
At this time il is impossible to say
whether other fatalities will follow.
but many are known to be yet alive
who are desperately wounded. A con-
servative estimate of the total number
in the train would be 500 and of this
number at least ESQ were injured.

INJURED HOUSED
IN PRIVATE HOMES

At Clayton the injured are being
care for by physicians of this section
and are housed In hotels and private
homes. Many OF them were placed on
cots in front yards and on porches
when first brought to Clayton, the ac-
eornmodations being Insufficient No
possible estimate can be obtained at
This time of the probable list of cas-
uaIties as result OF the wreck.
Reports vary, many declaring that
the list win run as high az 25 or 80
While others say the number will not
exceed 20. 1t is known that several OF
those injured arc III dying condi-
fion.
The most authentic report however.
places the list OF casualties at 1a, sew
eral children being among the number.
The wreck of the Eufaula and Ozark
train was the first that has occurred
on the line. The track is said TO have
been in bad condition and while there
arc different versions OF the causes OF
the accident ii Is now agreed that Il
was the result OF broken rail which
caused the three rear coaches to pull
apart from the baggage and smoking
cars.
None of those on the train was
killed Immediately, according to re-
ports. The three cars each turned over
three times in rolling down the steep
cmbankment and the weight of the
wreckage combined with the added
freight of human bodies slowly crushed
the life out OF those pinioned beneath
the cars.

EnL.sh Comment

London, November 13.-The Times In
an editorial on the Mexican situation
this morning declines to believe that
financial pressure will suffice to re-
move General Huerta and dilates on
the enormous difficulties of an inva-
sion. 1t says:
Nobody questions the power of the
United States to overcome all opposi-
tion IL they make up their minds to
the necessary sacrifices, although 1t
is not impossible that they will find,
as we ourselves have found before now
that il is far easier to get into such a
country with glory than to get out
with credit. But. the difficulties are
so great and so obvious that we earn
estly trust that President Wilson may
even yet avaid them by wise and dex-
trous diplomacy
The Daily Graphic depreeating the
criticism of President Wilson's policy
says:
THE American are entitled to order
their politics as they please. However
much the Presidents motives may diff
fer from the English practice, they
merit our profoundest respect and with
memories of Lord John Russell before
MS on the one hand and of the Holy
Alliance on the other, We are not quail
flied to lecture President Wilson"

Brief History

One Of the most notable events con-

tion, Pages Night" which viii be pro-
duced at the Jefferson theatre in the lat
ter part of the month, is the lecture on
the story of Damon and Pythias. which
will be given by George w. Penninian
at the First Christian church tomorrow
night. Mr.. Penniman Is a member of the
educational committee OF the supreme
lodge, knights OF Pythias. and has made
two visits to ancient Greece and Sicily
for the purpose of getting historical data
ON the story on which the order Of the
knights of Pythias is founded
He has secured about 125 pictures of
the places where the great example of
earthly friendship was enacted, and in
his lecture on this subject will show by
means of stereopticon Views "the towers
and temples of ancient Syracuse" that
play such an important part in the story
OF the drama that has come down the
mist of centuries" linking the present
with the past.
In addition to the historical story, Mr..
Penniman will review the history OF the
order since Its inception by Justus II
'.a'ipoic, the founder, to the present
time. He will review it's organization, in
stitution, history and growth and briefly
state its aims and purpose.
This lecture viii not only be of great
interest TO the members of the order but

that even should Huerta announce his in
tention to retire, a competent machinery
of government would have to be substi-
tuted, and that negotiations for an armis-
tice and peace arrangements looking to-
ward q fair and free election would have
to be carefully worked out. The United
States purposes to help in any way 1t can,
affording a medium of communication be-
tween Nogales and Mexico City if desired
and otherwise contributing toward a
peaceful solution.
For this reason the progress of William
Bayard Hale's conferences with General
Carranza are regarded as an important
phase of the American peace programme.
There is feeling among administra-
ton officials that If the constltutionalists
are as sincere as have been represented.
desiring chiefly the restoration of con-
stitutional government, little difficulty
should be encountered in selecting a man
acceptable to both sides for President ad
interim, while further arrangements for
an election are made.
To the foreign nations which have made
inquiry as to what might follow IL Huerta
did relinquish power. the Washington
government has informally indicated this
process of pacifcation.
