COUNSEL TO
PROSECUTE SEARS
O'Neal Appoints Firm to
Represent State in Trial
of Sheriff

Montgomery, August 22.-(Specia1)
Governor o'Neal before leaving for Colo
rado Springs to attend the governors
conference appointed the law firm of Hill,
Hill. Whiting & Stern of Montgomery to
represent the state as special counsel in
prosecuting Robert Sears. the deputy
sheriff who shot win Smith, a negro in
the city court room here last week.
Governor O'Neal was in Mobile at the
time the shooting occurred, and expressed
the greatest Indignation when he heard
that the law had been held in such utter
defiance as was manifested by Sears when
he attempted to kill negro in the court
room. Had not Judge Brown summoned
the grand jury to meet In special ses-
sion to Investigate the shooting, it is more
than proba BILE that the governor would
have requested that special grand jury
be called.
Judge Browns action, however, in
promptly calling the grand jury into ses-
sion as soon as the negros condition was
ascertained, met with the full approval Of
the governor, and he was much gratifled
at the grand jnrys findings.
In commenting on the shooting, the gov
ernor said Friday: '.Such fiagrant and
open defiance of law and order, and espe-
cally by one who had been entrusted with
authority as an officer OF the law, is a dis
grace to our state, and adequate punish
ment should be given the perpetrator Of
the crime

|. & N. BUYS SELMA
PROPERTY IS RUM0R
Believed Road Preparing to
Build From Selma Into
Birmingham District

Selma. August 22.-( Especial. )--For
the past few days there has been re-
port currentshere to the effect that the
Louisville and Nashville has purchased
the lot at the corner of Water and
Lawrence streets, and which belonged
to Winston Jones of Mobile.
The lot which it is reported the
Louisville and Nashville has bought
adjoins the Peacock property which
was recently acquired by that SYSTEM
With the purchase of the Jones lot
the Louisville and Nashville has dur
ing the past three years purchased aSl
entire block of property near the busi-
ness section OF the city with the ex-
ception of small part of the block
which is owned by Col. w. w. Quarles.
1t Is generally believed that it is now
the intention of the Louisville and
Nashville to build a foad from Selma
to the Birmingham district to conenct
with the Flomaton branch OF that sys-
tenn here and which would practically
give the louisville and Nashville q
double track from the Birmingham dis
trict to the gulf I'll is believed that the
road will erect upon the property which
has been acquired here large termi-
nal station as the system has no term
inal properties In Selma except in the

BETTER PAY FOR
Gin REPORTERS IS
ASKED BY HEFL|N
Alabama Congressman Calls
on Director Harris In Re-
gard to Betterment of
Conditions

Washington, August -(Special.)-Rep-
resentative Heflin today called on Direc-
tor Harris of the bureau of census in.
the interest of gin reporters in the vari-
Gus counties in the cotton states. He
urged that they ought 70 be better paid
and pointed out that the work had in
creased under legislation brought about
by himself, Representatives Oldfield and
Lever, in having them report the number
of bales. of cotton on hand from time to
time at the cotton factories He explained
to the director that they were out in all
kinds of weather during the ginning sea-
son and urged that they be better paid.
The director promised to look into the
matter and see what could be done.
Mr.. Hefln also suggested the advisa-
hility of having the reporters in the vari-
Gus states send duplicate report of cot
ton ginned to the Secretary of Agriculture
in the state and said that he believed
that the states would be willing to pay
something for this service. and that this
would help the salary of the gin reporter.
His object in this however, is to prevent
the changing of reports by anyone con-
nected with the service at Washington
after they have been sent here by the
gin reporter. He said that reports had
been changed on a former occasion and
that bear gamblers in New York had
raid certain employees to make the change
and to show that more cotton was gnned
than the report contained. He urged that
If reports were sent by the reporter to
the Secretary of Agriculture in the state
the same time they were sent to director
in Washington, the fact that they were
en- file in the state would remove all
temptation to tamper with or change them
and that no employe would dare under
take to change the figures or in any way
tsmper with them. He also contended
this would be a complete safeguard
around the reports Of the south's great
est product.

MAXIMUM LICENSE
FOR ALLEN COMPANY
Will be Charged $500 to Sell
Goods to Local Citi-
ZenS

The ]. T. Allen company of Atlanta APP
pealed to the city commissioners yester-
day for a license to sell goods to local cit
izens. The statute fixes this license at
from $25 to $500 and the company asked for
a minimum charge.
Upon the recommendation of President
C. Exum the commission refused to make
the license less than 5000. Mr.. Exum ex-
planned that the primary object of the
statute was to protect local merchants,
who paid taxes and helped keep up the
city, from the travelling men who stop AT
hotel and sell goods to the local mer-
chants customers.
The company representative stated that
no licenses had ever been paid except fol-
lowing arrests and he thought that as his
company appeared before the commission
before sending their man here that they
should be charged the minimum.
Mr. Exum explained that it was $500.

GRAVES PUTS NO
FAITH IN REPORT
Comments on RumOred Res
ignation of Officer
COULTER IS RETIRED
Col. Graves Unable to Confirm Report
That Lieut.. Col. M'Cord of 4th
Infantry Had Resigned-Says
No Political Activity

Mont gomery, August 22.-6Special.)
Press reports from Anniston to the
effect that the resignation of one Of
heer in the Fourth infantry and the
rumored resignation of another are
responsible for considerable political
activity in that regiment are strongly
denied by Col E. H. Graves of Eu-
faula, commander of the Fourth in
fantry
Colonel Graves was in Montgomery
today, and in commenting on the ru-
NOR, said that he had not been Informed
of any political activity on the part
of any of his officers, and declared that
he discredited the report.
Mai E. p. Coulter of Girard, COM
mander of the Third battalion of the
Fourth infantry, has resigned and has
been placed on the retired list of com
missioned officers, and while there is
likely to be some rivalry for the bat
TALON vacancy. Colonel Graves does not
believe that politics will play any part
in the selection of Major Coulter's sue
cessor.
With respect to the rumored resigna-
tion of Lieut.. Col Leon Mccord of the
Fourth infantry, Colonea Graves de-
clared that he did not know whether
this report was true
Colonel McCord has not told me that
he contemplated resigning," said Col
onel Graves. Il am sorry to see the
report that there is some POLITICAL ac-
tivity in my regiment with reference
to filling the vacancy in the Third BAT
talon, and 1 am inclined to think that
such report is erroneous"
The officers of the Fourth infantry
are all on the most friendly terms, and
while there may be some slight rivalry
among themselves with respect to win
ming higher rank. this cannot be called
in. any sense politics. But if there were
any political activity in the regiment
feel sure that 1 would have learned
of it,
Another resignation announced to-
day was that of Maj. p. NJ Bruner of
Evergreen, of the First infantry. com
mander of the Second battalion. Major
Bruner has also been placed on the
retired list of commissioned officers.

NEW FIRE STATION AT
FIVE POINTS WANTED
Speakers Before Commission Claim
Present Building is Inadequate
and insanitary

r. B. Smyer, Judge Zell CASTOR and
other residents OF the Five Points neigh
borhood presented a petition to the city
commissioners yesterday asking for a
new fire station at Five Points.
The speakers claimed that the present
building was inadequate, insanitary and
poorly arranged. Many bouquets were
thrown at the firemen at the Five Points
station. 1t being said that they were thor
ough gentlemen and had made friends
with everybody in the neighborhood. The
arguments for the new station house ap-
peared to be based largely upon the manly
qualities of the firemen who make up the
company stationed there.
The matter was referred to President
