JUDGE SAYS HOUSE
WOULD PASS BILL
DIVIDING COUNTY
Thinks Danger of Success Of
Bill Lies in Fact of Split
in the jefferson
Delegation
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery August 2l.-(SpeciaO
That there are between 80 and 100 men
in the lower house of the legislature
who would vote for bill dividing the
imperial county of Jefferson, is the opin-
ion of Senator Judge
Before leaving for Birmingham last
night, the Jefferson county representa-
tive in the upper branch, declared that
he had made superficial investigation
ard that the foregoing was the result.
II was surprised" he added. For some-
time have heard it said that there
was really grave danger to the county
in the house. So | went across
the hall and looked into the mat
ter for myself AS a result, l believe
that if the Welch % the Shapiro bill is
called up for passage. that it will go
through with ease.
Were our delegation In the house solid
in this respect, there would 10 no ques-
ton but that the bill would 10 beaten.
But when a delegation is diviooc. the
members of the house act in accordance
with their own convictions. Therein is
the danger There is no question but
that the sentiment against the continu-
ance of jefferson as an imperial county
is growing throughout the state. and
there Is no question but that the lobbyists
from Bessemer, who have been on the
scene for some weeks have done very
effective work"
In response to a direct question, Sena-
tor Judge declared that he felt con-
fidence that he would be able to defeat
the bill were it to pass the house and
come before the senate
However," he continued, sit has al
ready been determined that a matter of
dividing a county is not a local issue
and therefore would not be governed
through the rule of senatorial courtesy
For it is remembered that the senate in
1907 submitted an amendment providing
for the creation of Pettus county over
the protest of Senator Miller, who then
represented jefferson. However, I feel
certain that If the bill gets to the SEN
ate, he will be able to put it to sleep"
George Ross and T. II. Huey, who have
done some fine work in working up a
sentiment in favor of Pettus county, feel
as does Senator Judge regarding the
favor with which the bill is considered
in the house
Mr. Ross said last week: II believe
that the bill will go through the house
If we can ever get it called up for con-
sideration."
AS is known, the bill with a favorable
committee report, is on the calendar of
the house.

DARING ROBBERY AT
NORTH BIRMINGHAM
Diarinuta Bound and Gagged in His
Store by Two White Men.
Get But 81

One of the most daring robberies that
has been perpetrated in Birmingham
during the past year occurred yesterday
morning at II 80 o'clock, when Louis Diari-
nuta, who operates a grocery at $50 Forty
up by two white men, bound. gagged and
robbed of 81 in cash.
Detectives Williams and Moser were de-
tailed to investigate the case. and it is
expected that an arrest will be made
sometime today. The robbers came
through the back door and in doing SO
made a little noise. This attracted the
attention of Darinuta, who turned his
head toward the back of the store. AS he
did SO he looked into the muzzles of two
revovers. Neither of the men were
masked and both appeared to be cool and
calm. Hold your hands up and don't
make move If you want to i've" said
the taller of the two. Diarinuta obeyed
instantly and the men instructed him to
walk to the rear of the store. The back
part of the store is parttioned off and
serves as a bedroom. AS Diarinuta en-
tered his room, the two men seized him
about the body and threw him upon the
bed They then bound and gagged him.
after which they rifled the cash drawer
and went through the mans pockets. All
the cash in the store and In the pockets
of the victim amounted to "a. With part
ing words of warning the robbers walked
out of the store.
After about ha,f an hour some negro
customers came into the store and not
seeing the proprietor, investigated and
found Diarinuta bound and gagged on
his bed. They released him and turned in
an alarm for the police. Darinuta was
able to give the detectives a fairly ac-
curate description of his assailants. Out
side of being frightened he is none the
worse physically for his experience.
