FREED
 M ROBBERY CASE
Charges Against Linotype Op-
 orator Dismissed
(State Capital Rureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June B. Charles Flancher, commercial aviator, was acquitted of robbery by a jury in. the circuit court Tuesday afternoon following the dismissal of the charges against Ross Prentiss, linotype opera tor, who was alleged to have been Flaneher's partner in the robbery of H. D. Williams, aged man, who died without ever telling the story of the alleged crime.
 The arrest of Flancher and Prentiss several weeks ago attracted great in- terest in Montgomery. The alleged victim, Williams, was carried to 8 To- cal hospital in an unconscious eOndi- tiOn. In his delirimm he called the names of F1ancher and Prentiss. The two were arrested and it was claimed that jewelry belonging to Williams was found in their possession. Will Hams was never able to say whether or not it had been stolen and Flancher and Prentiss claimed Williams gave them the jewelry with the request that they sell it for him and return the money to him. They cOntended that the Jewelry in their possession had come to them with the consent of Williams.
 The grand jury brought indictments against the two. When the cases were called, William T. Seibels, solicitor, announced that sufficient evidence could not be fO nd against Prentiss. The case was mol pressed. When Elan cher's case reached the jury it delib- erated only IS minutes and returned a verdict of acquittal.
 The original theory of the state was that Williams had been given narcot- ics and had been robbed while de lirOus.

TO ERECT PONTOON
 BRIDGE AT SELMA
Alabama River Bridge Now Be
 ing Repaired

SELMA, Ala, June 3.-(Special.)- Telegrams have been sent to Congress men Lamar Jeffers and Senator Tom Heflin through the Chamber of Com merce requesting them to use their in fluence in obtaining for Selma a num- Der of unused government barges now on the Alabama river to be used Tn building a pontoOn bridge while the bridge spanning the river at this point and connecting Selma with several small towns and a large agricultural section at the most important season of the year when cotton will soon be coming in and large lumber mills over the river are in constant operation.
 The bridge will have to be closed for $30,OO0 worth of repairs. The only alternative is to close the bridge at night, which would also prove hard ship. In any case the pOntOon bridge would prove of value in alleviating the situation.

MOBILE JUDGES
 TO DRAW s7,ODO
Salary Greater Than That Of Supreme Court
 Judges Approved

MOBILE, Ala, June 3.-(Special Leased Wire. .)-Mobile circuit judges will get the increased salary provided for them by the legislature of 1923 effective September of that year, ac- cording to decision by the court of appeals today.
 The last legislature raised the sal ary of Mobiles circuit judges to $7 900 a year which is incidentally more than supreme court judges get George D. Stone, treasurer of Mobile county, re- fused to pay the warrant for the in creased salary which was presented by Judge Saffold Berney and the re- suit was a law suit involving the con 'stitutiOnality of the law. As the Mo- bile judges were interested, Judge Ben D. Turner of the first circuit was called in to try the case He decided in favor of the larger salaries and the cOnstitu- tionality of the law, and granted & writ of mandamus to require payment. This decision was affirmel by the ap- pellate court today.
 In deciding the case the court of appeals stated in an opinion written by presiding Judge Charles R. Bricken that what amount at most to doubt existed in the opinion of the court as to whether the increased salary violated the section of the constitution which provides that "the legislature shall not have the power to require counties or any other municipal corporations to pay any charges which are now payable out ofs the state treasury" The act in question provided for part of the judges salaries to be paid by the county
 The appellate court, referred to a doubt as to whether charges" was to be interpreted as including circuit judges salaries, this phase of the con stitution not having been previously interpreted. "To be in doubt as to the validity of a, statute requires us to decide in favor of it's constitutiOnality," the court stated. It was pointed out further that while the constitution for bids diminishing salaries of circuit judges during their terms of office, in creases in such salaries are not for bidden.

 Summer School
 TUSKEGEE, Ala, June 3.-The fifteenth annual session of the summer school for teachers opened Monday at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute with an Opening-day enroll ment of 64S teachers. This number is F less than the total enrolment of last year and 32 short of the record breaking attendance of 1922. Regis tratiOn opened Saturday morning, and at the close Monday afternoon there was yet a large number to be regis tered, and still others are expected to arrive during the week. These indica- tions point to the largest enrolment in the 15 years of summer school work at Tuskegee institute.
 The unprecedented attendance this year is due largely to the extension of the summer school session from six weeks to twelve weeks and the credit ing of the work done during the summer session toward a regular Tuskegee insti- tute diploma. Special courses for Jeans supervisors, principals of schools, vocational teachers under the Smith Hughes act and teachers in ROsenwald school, which are being conducted, have also drawn large numbers.

 Woods
fTennessee Valley Bureaul

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, June 3.-AN. F. Jester, of rural route No. 1 Falkville, in the southern part of Nor gan county, suffered an attack by a large gray squirrel believed to have been mad, and Tuesday the head of the animal was in the Tennessee Valley laboratory here for examination for evidences of rabies. Health authOri- ties have ordered Mir. Jester 10 take the pasteur treatment. Mr. Jester was walking along in a forest near his home when without warning the large squirrel jumped from an over hanging bow and bit the back of his neck. Mir Jester killed. the squirrel and brought the head to the laboratory.
 Health antiquities stated Tuesday that squirrels have been known to have rabies and very frequently foxes and wolves suffer from that dread disease. It was explained that even 1.-the brain of the squirrel should not show posi- tive" since it was possible for animals to have rabies and the tissues or their brains not show it, Mir. Jester may suffer severely from the bite of the wild squirrel.
