SUPREME COURT DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF JUDGE LANE

Montgomery, May s.-(Speeial.)-rhe
supreme court this afternoon overruled an
application for rehearing of the case
of the state ex rel. Horace G. Wilkinson,
against A. O. Lane appealed from the
Birmingham city court. The case grew
out of an effort on the part of Wilkin-
son TO oust Judge Lane from office as a
member of the city commission of Bir-
mingham on the ground that he was in
eligible for office owing to the fact that
he had been elected circuit judge. The su-
preme court some weeks ago decided the
case in favor of Judge Lane.
The court also overruled the applica-
ton for rehearing of the case of the
county of Mobile against Judge Price
williams. Jr., by this decision the su-
preme court finally declared invalid GER
tain contracts between the county and
Judge Williams by which settlement was
made of amounts alleged TO be due the
county by the judge of probate.
In the case of the state against Jay
Smith. appealed from the Gadsden City
court the supreme court granted the ap-
plcation for a rehearing and set aside a
former judgment of affirmance. Smith
was convicted and sentenced to death for
the murder of Policeman Patterson at
Alabama City In a decision put out by
the court several weeks ago the Judgment
of the lower court was affirmed, and the
defendant was sentenced to die on April
The court prior TO the date of execu-
ton decided to grant Smiths application
for a rehearing, and the DECISION this aft
ernoon sets aside its former Judgment
and remands the case to the lower court
for a rehearng.
Other applications for rehearings over
ruled by the supreme court were as fol-

PEACE CELEBRATION
Urges That Great Britain
and United States agree
in Advance" to Set
tie Disputes

oyster Bay, N Y, May s.-Theodore
Roosevelt would have the United States
and Great Britain agree in advance
to arbitrate any question which might
arise between them. So he told the in
ternational conferees who are arrang-
ing the centenary celebration of peace
among English speaking peoples in ad-
dressing them as their host today at
luncheon at his home on Sycamore Hill
Newspaper men were not admitted to
the function, but summary of his re-
marks "approved by Mr.. Roosevelt was
made public.
Although ii was said he did not speci-
fcally mention the Panama canal dis
pute members of the foreign delegation
Sc id he ..nhistakably referred to that
question as one which should be settled
by arbitration, if settlement could not
be reached by negotiation.
Refers to Treaty
Il am not myself one who readily
makes a promise, but once made l
should think it shoulc be kept" he was
quoted by II. p. Ferris, secretary of the
British delegation, as saying in appar-
ent reference to the Hay Pauncefote
treay, which was signed during Colo
mel Roosevelt's administration.
Speaking of the extent to which he
would accept arbitration methods in
international disputes" read the sum
mary. 'Mr. Roosevelt said that he was
perhaps somewhat of a hereto in the
eyes of his friend Mr. Carnegie (who
sat on his righD, as there We're certainly
some subjects which under certain con-
ditions he would never consent to sub"
nit to arbitration but he would assure
him of this-that so far as the British
empire and the American republica was
concerned he was prepared to agree
in advance to the settlement of any
question that might arise, either by
mutual agreement, by arbitration, or
any other method that would not pro-
duce friction. War between these two
countries was and must be inconceiv-
able.
Gives Toast to King
Mr.. Roosevelt gave first the toast to
the King and Emperor of the British
empire and then the toast of 'peaCU,
with justice and righteousness, between
the nations and within the borders of
each nation'-a toast most heartily
drunk by all present
About 25 members of the conference
