STATE SOLICITORS
ANTAGON|ST|C TO
CORPORATION BILL
Protest Against Measure
Prohibiting Such Officers
From Accepting Employ
ment With Corporations

Montgomery, January 30.=(Special }
That the solicitors of the state are
antagonistic to Senator Lusks bill pre-.
venting such officers from accepting
employment from public service corpor.
ations was indicated today when several
prominent circuit solicitors appeared
before the senate judiciary committee
and protested against the passage of the
measure
Those who appeared before the COM
mittee and asked for an adverse report
on the bill were Solicitors d. c. Alnon
of Decatur, representing the Eighth cir
cult; M. r. Ormond of Tuscaloosa, of the
Sixth circuit; J. i. Thompson of Gem
terville, of the Fourth circuit and COL
c. r. Bricken of Luverne, of tho Sec
ond circuit
The SOLICITORS appearing before the
committee expressed the unanimous
opinion that the Lusk bill would worl,
a peculiar hardship on every officer
of the state occupying their position,
and urged that the bill receive an ad-
verse report. They contended that the
small salary of $1,000 per annum, which
is the compensation of every circuit
solicitor, was not sufficient for sub
sistence, hence they were compelled to
rely on additional salary.
Each Of the four solicitors before the
confessed to representing
certain public service corporations, but
maintained that their services did not
conflict with their duties as legal Of
ficers.
j do not hesitate to say that If the
bill passes the Second circuit will lose a
good solicitor" said Colonel Bricken.
This opinion was voiced by the other
of the delegation, and, so earn.
est was their opposition to the measure
mat contrary to expectation, the COM
mittee deferred action on the bill until
another meeting. 1t is now believed the
bill will receive an adverse report.

morning did not make its appearance
until 6: 80 last evening and all other

have been fairly well Strengthened out,

Infatuated Victim of
Loaded Dice, Running
Amuck, Tries to Kill
Continued from Page -

tai, where DR.. John T. Caravan dis
covered that a death was averted by
a brass button on the suspender of the
oVeral1s of Fox, just over his heart,
where a bullet struck. On close ex-
animation the physician found that
Fox had suffered a painful bruise of
the left breast, directly over the heart,
but 1T is not serious. The spot where
the button was forced against Fox's
breast by the bullet is merely a small
brutse and the skin is not broken.
In a statement given to a reporter
at-police headquarters, Ruffan had
the following to say: Coleman, White
and Fox are professional crap shoot
ters and they buncoed me with pair
of loaded dice in the Greek lodging
house at SIS Water street last night.
I first went to Uncle Sans bank (the
postoffice) and drew SIS I had placed
there. T purchased these shoes for
$2.65 and tried my luck with the rest
of it in crap game at SIS Water
street. I was soon broke and I went
back to Uncle Sans place and this
time I drew $40. I returned to the
gambling house and in a short time
[ was again broke. Coleman and Fox
were winning all my money and I
think if % was their point on the
dice they could have made it.
soon suspected the dice were loaded
and put up boiler with the result
that was fired out of the joint.
- threatened to get square ana L
bought this gun to defend my honor
I met them this morning and without
hesitation I went for them. You
know the rest
Ruffan later said that Fox is a bad
actor and that he knew Fox in Bronx
Station, on the Hudson, where the
latter was known as Bear Fox. He
also alleged that Fox f1eeces ''easy
marks"
The attacked men claim that they
had no trouble with Ruffan the night
before but admit that they saw him
lose a small amount of money in a
game of dice. They also claim that
Ruffan attacked them this morning
without any provocation and they
cannot understand his motive in the
assault
Detective Simon said that while he
was in Joe Lang's pawn shop on Wa
ter street at 4 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon Ruffan entered and examined
a quantity of revolVers and then ask
ed Lang if he had q magazine gun

The steamer Park City came in this
morning half hour late due to the
rough weather and an encounter with
a head wind all the way from Port

Her main and upper deck forward
were encrusted with ice because of the
breaaxing of large waves on the main
deck and onto the ripper deck, during
the trip. Passengers kept well within
the cabin all the way across.
Because of the wfntry weather the
Park City has put on her @cold wealth
