OF Jaroslau virtually completes the

 eide Among Fourteen Claimants

A. Hayes of Carbon Hill and J. S. Harbin from prosecuting suits to collect the above sum before Judge A. II. Benners of the chancery court.
 The proceedings have grown out of the attempt to collect the 5000 reward off, fered by the Southern Express company for the arrest and conviction of the two men who on May IA, 1914. held up train No. ?, New Orleans and Northeastern rail- road near Hattiesburg, Miss, and dyna- mited and robbed the safe of large sum of money.
 The orator does not deny that the above amount is due some person or persons or that it has any right of title in the said sum. and is ready to pay it to the rightful party. The petitioner fur ther states that since offering the re- ward two men have been arrested and convicted of the robbery. but atthat so many, parties have made claim to the reward that it asks the court to step in and receive the money and to pay it cut as the court may determint to whom it belongs.
 Among the claimants to the reward are ]. s. Harbin, w. P. Gardner, J. T. Moser, Jim Daley, W. M. Burge of Birmingham; T. A. Hayes of Carbon Hii J. M. Gray of Jasper. A. H. Brown and George w.

Says He Will Not Tolerate Indiscriminate Arrests.
 Takes Drastic Action
TWO OTHERS ARE
 WARNED FROM BENCH
Criminal Court Judge Says Men Must Not Swear Out Warrants They Cannot Substantiate-Twelve
 Negroes Are Released

Taxing one officer with the costs in others. Judge W. E. Fort of the criminal court declared yesterday that he would not tolerate indiscriminate arrests and that if any officer swore out a warrant he could not substantiate in court he would tax him with the costs. This action was taken at the trial of 12 negroes charged with betting in public place, which came up for hearing In the sec ond division of the criminal court. The men were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Lee White and Tom Williamson on Sunday afternoon, at a point below Ensley. Al the trial it developed that the negroes were arrested in dwelling house and when the arresting officer MT. White, was placed on the stand, he stated that he was not prepared to swear that the place was public.
 Judge Fort stated that as an officer of wide experience MT. White ought to have known better than to prefer a charge that he could not sustain, and stated that he would require him to pay the costs in each case. The men with one or two exceptions proved that they were employed tat the plants at Ensley. They were released.
 MT. White stated that the men were playing cards and betting on the game and that he made technical mistake in preferring a charge of betting in a public place instead of Sunday gaming and that every man arrested was par ticipating in the game.
 Judge Fort issued warning to two other officers who had sworn out war rants without being able to sustain the charge.
