.DR. W, ]. NICHOLSON SUCCEEDS PRATT AS .b|bb COUNTY JUDGE Justice Is lmpeached for Excessive Intemperance.
 50 Witnesses Testified
 Against Defendant

Montgomery. April S.-tSpecial) 1.-The supreme court of Alabama today i'm peached W. l.. Pratt, probate judge of Bibb county, for intemperance. and with in one hour after the court announced it's decision Governor Henderson appointed to succeed the deposed official Dr. w. J. Nicholson of Centreville
 The impeachment of Judge Pratt was not unexpected He was charged with in- temperance in office to such an extent as to impair his efficiency as a public off cial, and from the moment the state be- gan it's prosecution 1t was believed that he had little chance of proving his inno- cence of the charge.
 Witness after witness testified that Judge Pratt was a 'drinking man; many tes7 tifed they had seen him drunk in the per- formanceof his official duties, and others dubbed his court the 'kangaEOo court. :" More than 50 witnesses testified against the defendant, and although he had sum- moned more than 100 witnesses in his be- half, they were unable to break down by their testimony the strong chain of dam aging evidence brought out by the pros ecution.
 No Other Charges
 The proceedings were instituted by At torney General William L. Martin at the request of the Bibb county grand jury, which recommended Judge Pratt's im- peachment on the ground of intemperance. There was no other charge against him.
 In the prosecution the state was repre- scented by Attorney General Martin and his assistants. The defendant had as his counsel Jerome Fuller and J. T. Ellison of Centreville and the firm of Hill Hill. Whiting & stern of Montgomery.
 The case was begun Thursday morn ing and was concluded about II o'clock today Within 30 minutes after Attorney General Martin had made his final argu- ment. the court had It's decision ready.
 The findings of the court were reported to Governor Henderson by Gen. RS F. Ligon, clerk of the supreme court. and within an hour Judge Pratt's: successor had been appointed --.. { i

HENDERSON TOMAKE HIS APPOINTMENTS WITHIN FEW WEEKS
Governor Will Throw Gaunt- let at Feet of Probe Con- mittee Regardless of

 Montgomery, April 3.-(special.s [ At last Governor Henderson h prepnr- ing to shake the plum tree. Appoint ments will he made in the state con- vict department. the state tax com mission and in other state offices and they will be made within the next few weeks, possibly sooner. But especially will new officers he selected for the convict department and tax commis- sion.
 So certain is it that Governor Hender- power that 1t Is now regarded as just a matter of days before he will materially change the personnel of the present ad- minh etion. As to whom he will se- lect for se various offices there is. of course, cons serable speculation, and it would be futile attempt to pick his ap- pointees from the horde of applicants
 In this regard. the governor is silent, and even those closest to the administra- ton will not venture an opinion. The most they will say Is that they have urged niLn to inahe certaih appointments, part1c- lilarly in the convict department and the tax commission, and that they are con- fident 1t will not be many days before those departments are in the hands of new men.
 Exa miners Named ..
 As an indication that Governor Hender- son Is preparing to fill all the offices in his appointive power it might be pointed out that this week he named the five ex- -aminere of public accounts for his ad- n1inistration. At the time he made these .ss sce.tlnueA sn Pass TesD

Casualties insignificant

t
 London April 3-(2:35 p. m.)--The Cen- tral News says that in the lighting along the Servo Bulgarian frontier. the casual ties were insignificant, and that the raid- CTS fled to Bulgarian territory. An official telegram from Nish to the Servian legation here says the Bulgarian invaders captured 10 Servian guns They were said to be fighting under regular off cers and it was expected that In reality they were regular Bulgarian troops.
 Servian endorsements are arriving on the scene. The lighting continues. the Servian legation is informed and there have been considerable losses on both sides.
 A later dispatch from Nish, dated April 3, says the Bulgarian irregulars scattered on the arrival of Servian endorsements and were driven back on Bulgarian terri tory. They wero able to take all their wounded with them.
 The dispatch adds that so Bulgarian dead were found on the field. while the Servians had 60 dead and a great many wounded.
 The guns taken by the BuIgarians were two old style ones.

Serious Damage

Norfolk, April 3.--A northeast gale which swept up the Virginia coast early today caused serious damage here although no loss of life had been reported early tonight. High tides in- undated many of the principal streets in which water stood three feet deep. Telephone. telegraph, railroad and fer ry and street carnservice were put out of commission.
 With all means of communication cut throughout the day, it has been impos- sible to ascertain what damage, if any. was suffered by shipping. There was practically no wire communication from Newport News since early morning, the telephone and telegraph lines to that city having been prostrated. It also has been impossible to communicate with other nearby points and it Is feared here that considerable damage was caused by the storm. which continued many hours, the high wind being accompanied by heavy fall of snow and sleet.
 All through the day Norfolk and vicin- ity were isolated from the outside world and it was not until o'clock tonight that the Western Union established communi- cation on Q single wire from Norfolk to Richmond and from Richmond to Atlan- ta. This was the only wire in opera ton in eastern and central Virginia.
 No Trains Arrive
 No trains arrived here today. Rail- road officials reported they were unable to give any information regarding them un- til wire communication was resumed
 Virtually all business in Norfolk was suspended today. In many of the streets small boats were used as the only means of traffic. Launches were used to con- vey residents across City Hall avenue, one of the principal streets of the city. There were indications that the tide was receding early tonight.
 The storm struck this section about 10 o'clock Friday night, increasing In in- tensity with every hour. About midnight the wind here was blowing 6S miles an hour. At Virginia Beach its velocity at one time was reported at 75 miles an hour. Snow and sleet began falling and early in the morning a high tide was sweeping into the business center of this city, Telegraph and telephone poles were blown dowr and all wires prostrated be- fore daylight.

Early this morning the weather man said the worst was over and that sunshine might be expected at some places in the m-swept re- zion today.
 As the blinding storm swept over the Virginia eapes. reports were cur rent that the German raider. Prinz Eitel Friedrich, tied up at Newport News for repairs, had taken advan- tage Of the opportunity to slip out to sea and elude the enemy ships. All wires leading out of Newport News

In New York and other large cities the snow fall proved boon to the unemployed. during the day, and other places along the Virginia coast, were hit hardest by the storm. They also suffered from lack of wire communication.
 Although trains from as far south as South Carolina arrived hours late at New York, Philadelphia and other sea- board cities, railroad officials professed to see a gradual restoration of normal schedules.

Official Report From Nish Says Both Sides Lose Heavily in Fighting Along the Border
INVADERS FINALLY
 REFUSED AFTER
 HEAVY FIGHTING
Bulgarians Differed by
 Hungarians, Claim Ser vians-Servian Reinforce ments Hurried to Scene

Paris, April 3.-U:15 p. m. .)--Hos-
 tilities between Servian troops and
 Bulgarian irregulars have broken out
 along the border. An official state
 ment issued at Nish, Servia, as for

 that the Bulgarians overwhelmed the Servian frontier guards and occupied
 Servian territory.
 The statement follows: Last night at about a. m.

At a. m. the Bugarians occupied all the heights on the left bank of tho Var dar. The losses on both sides were seri- ous.
 Have Hungarian Officers Wounded soldiers state that the Bull garian bands maneuvered and fought

 that Bulgarian bands crossed the Servian I border. They are said to have captured | from the Servian frontier guards two can
