for some time, finally locating her in
Howard, where she temporarily was a
guest at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Otter. prominent residents of
the city. she being a daughter of
Mrs. Joseph Otter of Clark. She went
from Clark to Howard. This was last
November.
1t is said the prosecution will have
evidence showing that Thompson pro-
ceeded to the Otter home, met his
wife ON the steps. threw his arms
about her and led her around the
house to talk to her. He. it is ez-
pected to be shown. was invited to 90
inside the house by Mrs. Otter, ard ac-
cepted the invitation. He was given u
cup of coffee by bis wife. He then it
is charged commenced upbraiding her
for leaving him she replying that she
did not love him any more and could
not live with him.

| side the stove. Thompson was dis

| at the Otter home at tbs time of the
tragedy. Himself and wife and Mrs.
| Otter were eyewitnesses of the trag-
ode op3 uiJl ha imnartant witnesses
at Thompson's trial.

WORKING ALL RIGHT
Canvasing Committees Continue
to Sell Short Line
Stock

The committees canvassing for the
sale of Electric Short Line stock are
meeting with encouraging success.
More than half of the required amount
has been sold, and it may be said that
the committees are on the last leg of
their journey toward completing the
deal. 1t must be taken into account
that the last few thousand dollars will
perhaps come in more slowly than the
first thousands-but it will come. The
neople of Madison are certainly too
enterprising to let slip an enterprise
like the Short Line in default of not
contributing to the enterprise to the
extent of buying $50. 900 of its stock.
All of these surmises. however, are
past and gone, and there is no need
of urging farther the benefits to the
city of the road. Arguments of this
kind have been thoroughly thrashed
over, both through the newspapers
and at two of the largest railroad
meetings ever held in the city. 1t
is a fol eg ne conclusion that Madison
must and will have the Short Line
and the citizens are going to buy the
required amount of stock. The can
vassers for the sale of stock commenced
their work last Friday afternoon and
the fact that they have completed
more than half the work 10 four days
and a half is the best evidence that
our citizens have made up their minds
to have the road. 1t is the hope of
The Daily Leader that the entire
amount of stock required will be cold
and the deal closed and it will be able
to make such announcement in its
Saturday evening issue.

JUSTICE ANDERSON
 BACK IN HIS OFFICE
Supreme Court Jurist Re cOvers-W0uld Clear
 Docket

Montgomery. October g. = Especially Chief Justice John C..s Anderson. of the supreme court, was in his office at the capitol today following an illness of about two weeks Judge Anderson at once entered into the consultation of cases and although stiff weak from the effects of his illness remained in conference with the other judges of the court during the morning session.
 Judge Anderson has been hard at work since the summer recess in an effort to finish a large number of cases which he voluntarily took at the close of the last term Of court. In addition to writing opinions on all the cases that had come to him by process of rotation. Judge An derson has also disposed of about 20 other cases
 His colleagues in the. court assert that he is the first chief justice in the his tory of Alabama who has been able to ipouce the judges of that tribunal to nieet in special session several weeks be- fore the fall term of court for the pur- pose of disposing of old cases on the docket
 Through his active efforts the court will complete most of the cases on the uOcket DefOfe the NOVenlDef term begins. However. the court may not announce decisions before that time. though it is understood that the opinions will all be ready at the opening of court.
 Judge John Pelham, who by seniority will become the presiding justice of the Alabama court of appeals, upon the res ignation Of Judge Richard w. Walker, announced today that as soon as the gov ernor fills the vacancy in his court he will immediately order a special term for the purpose of clearing the docket of all old cases. The court of appeals, accord ing to Judge Pelham, has practically caught up with its work, though it has necessitated considerable labor on the part of the judges of that tribunal dur ing the summer recess.
 In assemt ling in special session for the purpose of disposine of all old cases the court of appeals will be taking similar ac- tion to the supreme court. which, at the request of Chief Justice John c. Ander- son. has been hard at work for several weeks in al effort to dispose of unfin- ished business

SOME EARLY GLIMPSESe
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
Judge Ward of Henry Would Abolish Court of Appeals and Other De- partments of State
By HIGH W. RonEHrs

Making laws will be no new busi- ness to John B. Ward of Abbeville. He served in the legislature when Thomas scay was governor, when Thomas G. Jones was governor, when William C. Oates was governor and when Joseph
 r. Johnston was governor When the Legislature is called in session next Jan uary he will be found in the lower house representing Henry county
 In addition to his services as legIs- lator the subject of this sketch has been probate judge of his county. Some years ago, he was candidate for com missioner of agriculture, which office he lost by small vote. He is one of the best known men of the state There is evidence at hand to prove that he
 will be one of the strongest men in the lower house.
 Judge Ward. in his interview with The Age-Herald. stressed the fact that he is a prohibitionist. However, he does not think that the legislature should make further efforts to regulate the liquor traffic.
 NOW, he said-and meant no doubt the period of the next session of the legislature-"is not an opportune time to attempt further liquor legislation" And lat the present time" according to his statement, he does not favor wom-. an suffrage
 Judge Ward is in favor Of "retrench- ment." He states that the follow; ng should be aboIished:

 As if this were not enough, Judge Ward added-"There should be fewer circuit judges"
 Judge Ward is in dead earnest in re- 1 gard to retrenchment. For later in his 1 statement he says: q shall favor rigid examination I into every department of the state gov
 ernment. thereby ascertaining whether
 or not more clerical force is employed than is necessarily l If the examination is ordered and if

it is found that there are more clerks on the pay roll than should there be. it is unnecessary to state the course which Judge Ward. if he had his way, would pursue.
 Judge Ward does not look with favor on the idea of making the railroad commission public utility commission with general supervision over all public service corporations of the state, and he has not as yet made up his mind that a new constitutional convention is necessary.
 He favors the gradual elimination of and would favor a bill providing that a portion of the earnings of con vict be set aside for the sustenance of the dependant family of the convict In his opinion the most important sub jects to be considered by the legislature will be retrenchment. taxation, and a new system for the government of the schools of the state. fIe intends to in troduce bills embracing the three sub jects,

Women's Club Adopts Plan

Decatur, October Especial. )--The women's clubs of the two Decaturs nave adopted a. plan whereby they be-, iieVe that it will be possible to han die from one to two million bales of the souths cotton crop. Each member of these womens clubs of the two Deca- turs have pledged themselves to wear and to have every member of their zamily wear white cotton stockings and white cotton socks for a period of oie year. They will communicate with all CT the women's clubs of Alabama and ask that they make the same pledge among their members The movement will also be taken up with clubs of other states in the south and iii this way 1t is believed that suf 1 cient number of women can be inter- ested to dispose of large amount of cotton in this way alone. Another thing suggested fin the plan Is that the stock igs and socks be manufactured in the cotton growing states.
