INQUEST REVEALS DEDKEDO0AI nIEn
 TENNEIlOUlV UHU FROM ALCOHOLISM
Hospital Superintendent Plans To Reinstate
 Suspended Interne

A verdict of death caused by acute alcoholism was returned Friday by Coroner J. D. Russum after examining several witnesses in connection with the circumstances surrounding the death of ! E. Perkerson, alias R. Claude Perk- ins, alias H. c. Parkinson, at the Hill man hospital after twice being refused admission.
 At the same time, Dr. E. r. Hogan had not reinstated Dr. Robert A. Irons. hospital interne, suspended late Wed nesday when the fact that Dr. Irons twice had refused to admit Perkerson to the hospital became known. Dr. Irons. however, is to be reinstated within short time. Dr. Hogan said.
 Only three witnesses testified before the coroner. They were Warden F. B. Sutton, Patrol Driver w. A. little and J. o. Luck, a prisoner at the city jail Burk's testimony was to the ef- feet that the bruises on Perkerson' s body was due to falls he received in the city jail. He told the coroner that Perkerson rolled from his bunk several times.
 Stricken In Hotel
 The dead man was stricken Sunday night in a First avenue hotel and was taken to Hillman hospital. Dr. Irons diagnosed his condition as intoxication and Perkerson was taken to the city jail. When unable to appear in court, Perkerson again was taken to the hos pital and again Dr. Irons refused to admit him. The third time Perkerson was taken to the hospital, he was ad- mtted and died within two hours.
 The first suspicion of mistreatment came when undertakers called the cor oner's attention to bruises upon Perk- erson's body. Friday, Coroner Russum asserted that the falls caused these bruises. Coroner Russum did not call Dr. Hogan. Dr. Irons or Dr. T. T. Trice, another hospital interne, who signed Perkerson's death certificate.
 There was no evidence given as to why the dead man was refused admit tance into the hospital In this con- nection, Dr. Hogan asserted Monday night that he had anticipated the cor oner's decision and that Dr. Irons was suspended mot for any wrong doing, but simply because he overstepped his authority"
 No HI Feeling
 There is no ill feeling between the head of hospital and Dr. Irons, Dr. Hogan asserted and the letter which in- formed the interne of his suspension told him not to leave the hospital but to carry on his usual work. The only effect of the Suspension has been to relieve Dr. Irons of all responsibility.
 "As soon as the discipline of the in- stitution has been maintained, I intend to reinstate Dr. Irons," Dr. Hogan stated, He was suspended simply be- cause he countermanded the order of another interne and for no other req son.

COURT TO DECIDE
 JUDGES LATITUDE
Right Of Circuit Jurists To Add
 To Penalty Questioned

The Alabama supreme court will de- eide in few weeks whether circuit court judge, in city appeal case, has the right to add hard labor sentence to the punishment meted out by the recorder, City Attorney w. J. Wynn said upon his return from Montgomery Friday.
 This question is involved in one of the ten cases which Mir. Wynn submitted to the high court during the three days he remained at the capitol. The other cases are of minor importance, he said.
 If the citys contention that the cir cult judges have the right to tack on more punishment is sustained, the eff feet will be lessen the number of ap- peals, in Mir. Wynn's estimation. In the case at issue, the defendant received q fine in police court. He appealed. A circuit court jury found him guilty as charged, and the judge added q term on the roads in addition to the fine imposed by the jury. The defendant again appealed, and Wynn says a de- ciSion will be handed down shortly,

 Artists To Appear At Auditorium Monday

Jock Deans, Scoach comedian, who toured eight years with Sir Harry Lauder, and the three other entertain CTS who with Mir. Deans compose the Royal Scots, have been engaged for daily appearances at the Dixie Automo- bile Show, which opens at the audi torium Monday, December ].
 The Royal Scots, well-known in vaudeville circles, present an exhibition of Scottish songs, dances, bag-piping and drumming, and have gained ln- stant favor wherever they have per. formed. The act is presented in full kilt and tartan costume.
 The Royal Scots quartet is composed of Mir. Deans, who is the comedy so- loist; Ross Heath, double stick drum mer; Mabel Heath, Highland Fling dancer and small drum performer, and William Heath, piper.
 Jock Deans, who is widely known in Scotland and England for his associa- tion with Harry Lauder and the other Scotch comedians, Willie F. Frame and Dr. Bodie, paid his first visit to Ameri- ca fourteen months ago, and has been touring in this country for that length of time. He sings all the Lauder fla vorites, including the "Wee Doch an Doirs," and many other folk songs, old ballads and comedy songs of Scotland. His waltz clog, "Ma Wee Lass" and his comedy song and recitatin, "I Belong to Glasgow" are favorites with his audi ences.
 Mir. Deans during his engagement with the Dixie Automobile show will honor any requests for familiar Scot tish. songs which his audience may ask him to sing. Mabel Heath is said to be one of the best Highland Fling dancers who has appeared on the American stage, and the piping and fancy drum ming of William Heath and Ross Heath complete an act that is recommended as thoroughly unique and entertaining.
