From Philadelphia to San Francisco and
return as honeymoon tour would please
almost any bride. It's much more than
many brides get.
But-what about the mode of travel?
Electric lighted Pullman's or a 70-horse-
power automobile? Nay, nay, We'll
walk.
Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Kohler were
married July 80 this year. They arrived
in Birmingham yesterday, having walked
1922 miles from Philadelphia to this city.
They're still happy. They say they are
having a good time, in spite of the fact
that they have some 1858 miles to walk
within the next few months Both are
small of stature.
They are walking 5000 miles to win a
$1,000 wedding present. They state that at
their wedding dinner, one of their friends
said he had not given them a wedding
present because they'd have to earn any
thing they wanted to get from him.
Somebody asked in jest how it should be
earned, and he replied-his name is Rob-
ert G. Cauler-that he'd give the bride
and groom $1,000 If they would walk 5000

CHANGES AT COURTHOUSE
CAUSE MUCH CONFUSION
by CHARLES IL. MANDY

Confusion relgned supreme yesterday
at the courthouse of Jefferson county,
and the IS. o. s." signal was much in
evidence. Witnesses and jurors from
afar wandered hopelessly in and around
the corridors of the building looking in
vain for the particular place where they
had been summoned. Some of them are
looking yet.
The. cause of this confusion was the
opening of the new addition to the court
house. which has been erected at a cost to
the taxpayers of $4,000, and the confu-
sion that necessarily arose from the re-
distribution of the several courtrooms.
BY the aid of guide and a search war
rant the court of Judge Crow was located,
but 1t Is so far from the office of the
clerk that unles a fellow was endowed
with a most extraordinary memory he
would forget the instructions received
from the clerk by the time he and his
guides discovered the forum presided over
by the judge whose name is the opposite
to that of canary bird.

He says he writes several pages every
day. He expects to have this published
when the trip is over and make good
money from the sales of the book.

noon felt strange uneasiness. They
would fidgit and gaze about in puzzled
manner as IL fearing that something
secret was about to be wrenched from

His Attorneys Allege That Petty
Spite Prompted Prosecution of
Cases Against Him

W. c. Agee. chairman of the excise
commission, was honorably acquitted IN
the second division of the criminal court
yesterday on a charge recently brought
against him. This is the second time
Mr.. Agee has been tried for the alleged

all the witnesses for the prosecution We're
present, and he was found not guilty
Yesterday none of the main witnesses
appeared and he was again discharged.
His attorneys allege that petty spite
prompted the prosecution.
The case against him of accepting a
gift of value during his term of office
went off the docket on a demurrer to the
warrant and affidavit confessed by Cir
cult Solicitor Joseph r. Tate. Judge

COMMITTEE NAMED
OF BENCH AND BAR
Will Devise Plans to Facili-
tate Work of the Several
County Courts

At meeting Of the bench and bar of
Jefferson county, held last Saturday morn
ing for the purpose of devising plans to
facilitate the business of the several
courts of the county, a resolution was
adopted empowering the chairman to ap-
point committee composed of one judge
of the circuit court, one Judge of the city
court and three members of the bar to
prepare such plans.
The chairman, w. c. Fits, announced
that in order to do justice to the measure
he would take the matter of the appoint
ment of the committee under considera-
ton and make his appointments later.
Yesterday afternoon he made the APP
pointments of the committee, and issued
the following statement:
AT a meeting of lawyers held in the
courthouse on Saturday, November 20, l
was by unanimous resolution, directed to
appoint committee to devise remedial
rules and procedure, looking to making
the city and circuit courts more co-ord-
nate to the end, of better dispatch of busi-
ness, including the preparation of neces-
sary legislation for the combination of
the civil courts, if that be found to be
the most expedient plan. The resolution
directed that the committee be limited to
five, composed of one judge from the city
court, one from the circuit court and
three practitioners. The committee was
purposely made small to insure concert of
action and dispatch in this important mat
ter. However, the fact of such limita-
tion has made the selection more difficult
than would occur to one not called on to
undertake 1t. Having in view the instruc-
tion in the resolution, and desiring to
make the committee representative within
the bounds set, | have made the following
appointments: Judge John II. Miller,
Judge e. C. Grow, A. G. Smith, c. p.
Beddow and L. j. Haley.
This is done in the hope that it will
meet with the approval of the bar gen.
orally, and that results will be accomp-
lished tending to enable the courts to keep
abreast with the dockets, avoiding as far
as possible delays and expense to liti-
gants and witnesses | will call another
meeting of the lawyers for consultation
or to receive report when the committee
request such action.
