CALLS FOR RIGID PROBE

Judge Leon McCord today directed the grand jury which he organized in the circuit court to bring indict- ments against all persons charged with violating the prohibition laws when reasonable evidence is adduced, and called for a rigid investigation of all reports of violations of the traffic laws and the laws prohibiting the earring of concealed weapons. Judge McCord denounced the traffic in liquor and declared that any man who would sell liquor would commit any other crime and that any man who would patroniZe the bootlegger is about as bad as the bootlegger. He also cordepned persons who violate the traffic laws and said any person who will so drive an au- tomobile as to endanger the lives of pedestrians would swear falsely when brought into court to answer such a charge.
 He characterized the carrying of concealed weapons as one of the worst crimes because the carrier of weapon, he said, is potentially a violator of other laws.
 Judge McCord appealed to the grand jury to make a thorough in- quiry into. all cases presented to it and requested that no effort be made to rush through the work. Leon w Ashley of Montgomery was named foreman of the grand jury.

SPORTSMEN BY SCORE JOIN IN COON HUNTING CONTEST
Leave Selma With 37 Trained Dogs For Three-Day Chase On Alabama River

SELMA, Ala, Nov. Especial. D. It is said that there is something in most men that draws them to the hunt, sustains them in the chase, and egotizes them when the hunted has lost and the prey is theirs. With this phase of human nature gripping them full and strong, 80 men in automobiles and some on horseback with a re- tinue of cooks. serving boys, kits, tents and camp trappings and 32 trained coon dogs, some of them with strains of blood reaching half a cen- tury back, left the court house square today for the bend of the Ala bama river, 30 miles away to engage in a three days and nights chase of the raccoon.
 Under the rules adopted at an ex- ecutive session of the Central Ala bama Coon Hunters association, the by braces of three dogs each,
 Messrs. Goodman of Mobile. Dun way of Orrville and Carroll of Sum- merfield, were chosen by the associa- tion to be judges, and on their de- cision will rest the relative flneness, fitness and quality of the B dogs en- tered. Under another rule one hour is given to each brace of dogs to strike and failing to do so that brace is retired.
 E. H. Taylor. correspondent of the Country Gentleman, is here and will report the hunt for that periodical. A Texas coyote, sent from Cisco, Texas, will be turned loose Thursday morning after the coon contest is over and the winning hounds in the coon contest will chase the mongrel, half dog and half wolf, to his lair and to death, if they can.

He was corking: we Immediately

friends. His wife knew loads OF

from st. Louis, knew still more.

They got a guide from their

this whole line of about thirty
camels. OF course, immedi-

the others would either walk or
get donkeys, or something; but,
no, sir, they were just as en-
thusiastic, If a little bit dubious,
and all clambered on camels.
Now stop g. minute. Can you

what you dreamed when en-

would be riding a camel, In the

great fun getting settled, having
the camels kneel, and first UP on

The motion was like a huge,
slow. easy rocking chair. They
had the most gorgeous raiment

had blue and red beads in them.
My camel man, seeing was

On entering, one goes into a
courtyard, similar to the clois-

the pavement, it is necessary to
put on some sandals over your
shoes. The natives leave their
shoes at the door, just like we
would park a pair of skates, and
go to the center Of the court
where there is fountain. There
they perch on little slabs Of stone
and wash their feet, head and

It happens that the fountain in
this mosque is the well of Joseph.

what impressed me most was the
fact that there is not one super

is nothing In it. Not a chair,
not a hanging, not an altar clut-

not a painting. I think in Italy
