CONVECTION PLANTER. MURDERED IN FIELD. Daniel Douglass Believed to Have Been Clubbed and
 ChOked to Death

Andalusia, July 10-(Special.) Daniel Douglass, a highly respected citizen liv- ing near Rome, this county. was found dead in his field where he had been blowing yesterday about Il o'clock. Some of the family was attracted by a noise which sounded like call from MT. Daug- lass, and negro boy was sent to in vestigate. When he reached the scene MT. Douglass was found lying on the ground dead and his horse grazing near the body There were bruises about the face and head and signs of choking on his neck to indicate that MT. Douglass had been clubbed and choked to death. Suspicion at once centered around T.. Bsrbaree, a neighb ,r, living near MT. Douglass, and he was arrested and lodged in jail at a late hour last night charged with the crime
 The theory is advanced by the citizens of the neighborhood in which the murder occurred that MT. Douglass murder is the outcome of feud of long standing, and in which feelings were recently re- newed by accusations brought by Doug Ia SIS against some of Barbaree's children in reference to some watermelons. Bar baree had no statement to make when crested. He was locked up in jail and as the August grand jury will soon con vene it Is probable that no preliminary will be had.
 MT. Douglass was S2 years of age, a Confederate veteran, ard owned one of the prettiest farms in Covington county. He was a hard worker and industrious citi- zen and his murder has aroused consid- erable feeling in the community.

BELL AND SMITH
 WIN TENNIS FINALS Defeat Roberts and Drennen in Final Round of Athletic
 Club Tourney

Frank Bell and Pete Smith of the Birming gham Athletic club won from Merridith Roberts and Dr. Earl Dren- nen of the Country club in the finals of the Birmingham Athletic clubs in vitation tennis tournament yesterday afternoon after a hard and spectacular battle.
 The contest yesterday had been twice postponed first from the Fourth Of July until Thursday and then from that date to Friday, both times on account of rain.
 Four sets were played before the Athletic club stars were able to gain a decision The first was captured by Drennen and Roberts, six games 10 four. This set was one of the best played and the work of all four was of the whirlwind variety.
 Battling uphill, Bell and Smith took the second match, 6-2, and then followed up by annexing both the succeeding ones by scores of 6-2 and 6-3, respectively.
 The two teams appeared very nearly evenly matched and the playing of both was at times sensational. After the first set Roberts was handicapped somewhat on account of having to alter his service in order to escape foot faults.
 The first two sets were better than the latter two because of the fact that in the third and fourth all four of the con- testants lobbed the ball considerably.
 Both Smith and Bell were awarded handsome racquets. Hugh N. Starnes refereed the contest

ABSOLUTE AGAIN OUTSA|LS RIVALS Both the Vanitie and De- fiance Fall Far in
 Rear

Newport. R. l., July 10.-The cup yacht Resolute outsailed her rivals to- day and led the Vanitie three miles and the Defiance four and half miles at the finisht of their 30-mile contest. The Defiance was so far behind she quit racing as the vanities crossed the line.
 The Resolutes margain in correct ed time over the Vanitie was 33 min utes and seconds. The race was the second of the trials and the first un- der the direction of the New York Yacht club.
 The breeze was never stronger than four knots.
 The contest was an excellent test of the yachts in the lightest weather pos sible for a finish inside the six-hour time limit. After the first two miles 1t was only a question of the length of the Resoute's victory.
 It generally was agreed in yachting circles after the race that neither the Vanitie nor the Defiance could hold the Resolute under conditions that prevailed today It also was pointed out that many of the Americas cup races off Sandy Hook in recent years have been sailed in similar light airs and sleepy seas The boats will race again tomorrow.

 Considerable sentiment in favor of con- solidating the three antitrust bills is de- veloping and some senators said today this might be done on the Senate floor. The main purpose for such action would be to expedite completion of the trust legislative programme.
