WILL HANG ADG. 7
PLEA OF HUDSON, WILLIAMSON
AND JONES, SENT UP FROM BIR
MINGHAM FOR SEVERANCE OF
TRIAL, DENIED BY HIGH COURT.
Montgomery, June 18.—(Special.) The
three Birmingham highwaymen, Hudson,
Williams and Jones, who are under death
sentence, will have justice meted out
to them August 7. The Supreme court to
day, through a decision written by As
sociate Justice Haralson, which affirmed
the decision of the lower court, holding
that that court did not err in refusing to
grant a severance of trial demanded on
the day of trial.
The court records show that Hudson,
Williams and Jones were jointly Indicted
■with two others, Bryant and Lee, for
robbery. On their arraignment in court
the two latter moved for a severance of
trial, which motion the court granted, or

raigned each pleaded not guilty. Their
trial was set for January 21, 1903. On the

ance after the first.

not finally adjourn until June 80, when
U is expected that a large number of de
cisions will be rendered.

COMMISSIONER
HUES REPORT
Document Contains Interesting
Insurance Data tor 1902
RECEIPTS SHOW INCREASE
State Insurance Commissioner Makes
Important Recommendations for
Changl-r Laws Govern
ing Companies.
Montgomery, June 18.—(Speclal.)—The
printed report of the state insurance com
missioner has been received in the office
of the secretary of state and is ready for
distribution. This is the annual report
made to the governor and covers the
year ending December 31, 1902. The report
is an interesting document, containing
abstracts of the statements of all insur
ance companies reporting to the depart
ment, showing receipts and disbursements
for the year. The receipts of the depart
ment are shown to have been $66,832, an
increase of nearly 65 per cent in five years,
when the insurance business was trans
ferred from the office of the auditor to
the secretary of state.
Heflin Compliments McDavid.
Mr. Heflin compliments very highly
Deputy Commissioner Ned R. McDavid
for the healthy condition of affairs, and
makes some interesting recommendations
to the governor for changes in the insur
ance laws. One of the most important
of these is for a statute to prevent un
authorized companies doing business in
the state. The comrrflssioner says:
"In my opinion the state is deprived of
considerable revenue by permitting un
authorized Insurance companies to trans
act business in Alabama. This law re
quires that the assured must pay to the
insurance department 1 per cent tax on
the amount of premium paid the unau
thorized company, but since the creation
of the department in 1897, only 9 cents hag
been received; though I am satisfied thou
sands of dollars are due from this source.
There is no penalty provided for non
compliance. It occurs to me that it is
unjust to the reputable companies that
enter Alabama and comply fully with all
laws, and pay all taxes Imposed, to let
•wild cat* insurance companies operate in
the state, complying with no laws and
paying no tax."
Another important recommendation for
a change in the laws relates to the prac
tice of municipalities levying license taxes
on companies complying with the state
laws. Regarding this the commissioner
says;
System Not the Best.
"I am impressed with the fact that the
system of taxation of insurance com
panies in the cities and towns of this
state is not the best. The state charges
every company $101 license, and 1 per cent,
on the gross amount of Its premimum re
ceipts, besides exacting a license of $3.50
for each of its agents. These charges are
very reasonable and proper, bat the state
permits Its municipalities to unrestrained
ly tax the companies, and many of them
appear to abuse the privilege. These li
censes are levied regardless of the amount
of business a company may do in the
municipality, and thus tends to create a
trust in favor of the companies already
established in the State, and, therefore,
discourages competing companies from en
tering, for usually a number of years are
required for a company to organize a
large and profitable business in a local
ity. It in lieu of a license the state law
required the municipalities to levy a tax
on the gross premiums, not exceeding a
certain per cent., the companies with
large premium receipts would be forced
to carry their pro rata of the burden, the
companies with small business theirs, and
the new companies would be encouraged
to enter competition."
BESSEMER,
Depositors Still Have Hopes of Re
covering Their Money.
Bessemer, June 18.—(Special.)—As the
Investigation of the affairs of the Besse
mer Savings bank continues the pros
pects of the depositors grow brighter.
It Is now believed by many that the
depositors will get at least BO per cent
of their money back, and this is about
40 per cent better than at first was
thought.
The whereabouts of President T. J.
Cornwell, whose flight created tfie monu
mental sensation of Bessemer's history,
remains a profound mystery.
The board of mayor and aldermen will
hold a special meeting tomorrow night.
The nature of the business to come up Is
not fully known, but It Is believed that
the lrws by the dty of 17,000 through the
failure of the Bessemer Savings bank and
the suspension of work on the city sew
erage system, one of the results of this
loss, will be given consideration. The
proposition to borrow $10,000 to tide the
city through the emergency will also
come up. In all probability.
The graduating Class of the Bessemer
high school was entertained tonight by
Mies Bessie Spencer.
Miss Otis Shipman entertained yester
day at progressive anagrams, the affair
being In honor of her sister, Mrs. Rog
ers. The many guests were entertained In
the most enjoyable manner. The first
prize, a handsome chocolate pot, was won
by Miss Henrietta Morgan; the second,
a hand-painted handkerchief, by Mrs. M.
I. Boots. Miss Julia Houston drew the
consolation. Elaborate refreshments were
served.
WEDDING AT ANNISTON.

Anniston, June 18.—(Special.)—Dr. A. W.
Bell, •a practicing physician of Woodlawn,

who is connected with the Louisville and

NINETEEN STARTERS IN DERBY.
Probability of Large Field Increasing
Every Day.
Chicago, June 18 —Nineteen horses are
row regarded as certain starters Is the
American derby Saturday afternoon at
Washington Park. Instead of diminishing
as the day of the race approaches, the
probable field is Increasing. The iaoo was
never so open In Its history despite the
fact that Savable Is still a 2 to 1 favorite.
The annual "dark horse" for the derby
came to light this afternon. He is Bon
nie Burr, a 200 to 1 shot owned by W W,
Sayre. The owner sent a message that
the colt had been shipped from Cincin
nati and announced nltn as a certain
starter. Nothing is known of Bonnie
Burr here. He won a race as a 2-year-,old.
Fore and Aft the winner of the Cum
berland derby who is fegitd<rt as a dan
gerous candidate, received his derby
workout today over the Washington l ark
track. He covered the mill and a half
In 2:36 1-5 and did It handily with about
115 pounds up.
Many of the derby candidates have '-cer
given so much racing that Hie usual final
work outs were not run tips imrnlng
Claude was only galloped over the route.
M. J Daly who has al-endy «■ n Hirer
derbies with the colt, thinks the horse Is
on edge right now.
The following horses with their odds are
put down as probable starters: Savable,
2 to 1; Bcrnays, 8 to 1; Claude, 6 to 1:
Judge Himes. 6 to 1; High Chancellor, 12
to 1; The Picket, 12 to 1; Dick Welles, 12
to 1; Au Revolr, 16 to 1; Linguist, 15 to 1;
Fore and Aft, 12 to 1: Gregsr K, 15 to 1;
Flo Carllne, 16 to 1; Early, 25 t8 1; Mon
sieur Beauealre, 15 to 1; Ravel, 40 to 1;
Gold Bell, 40 to 1; Collonade, 40 to 1; Bad
News, 60 to 1; Bonnie Burr, 200 to 1.
Betting on the derby Is usually heavy.
The recent public play Is on Judge Himes
and his owner Charles Ellison Is said to
stand Vi win 130,000 on him.
Rain now will mean a slow track for the
derby. The Washington Park club an
nounces that the no-recall system of
starting will be used.
Coburn’s Badge Taken Up.
Chicago, June 18. — Jockey Coburn’s
badge was taken up today at Harlem and
he was put off the track with orders never
again to ask for admission. Failure to
keep engagements and Inability to make

ed the exclusion of the once popular
Jockey. Coburn Is under contract with
George C. Bennett at a salary of 88000 a
year.

COMMISSIONS CONSULT
Will Hold Another Session on July 1,
when Decision In flato War Will
be Rendered—Tariff on Grain
Will Probably be Reduced.
Montgomery, June 18.—(Special.)—While
the hearing by the Alabama Railroad
Commission of the complaint against the
railroads for charging excessive freight
In Alabama was concluded last night,
there were several of the prominent rep
resentatives of both sides to remain here
today.
The commission has not been in open
session, but the members have been In
consultation, more or less, all day. They
will consider the facts and figures sub
mitted cart^uly and on July 1 another
open session will be held, when a decision
in the case will be rendered.
As a matter of course there Is much
speculation as to what this decision will
be, but there is a general belief that the
commission will order reductions on some
classes of Inter-state traffic. Whether
the commission will grant In toto the
petition asking for the establishment of
the Georgia tariff Is but a matter of con
jecture. but there are some at least who
believe that Alabama docs not hove to
follow in the wake of the sister state.
An “Alabama vote,” they assert, would
sound better In this state than a “Georgia
vote."
Cinch for Petitioners.
There Is but one thing which appears
as a “cinch" for the petitioners—a new
rate on native grown hay. grain and
grain product. The commission hns not
intimated that it will change tills rate
or any other, but the evidence submitted
in the case seemed most favorable for
such action, and as a matter of fact, was
advocated by some of the railroad men.
Among the prominent men who called
upon the commlslon today In a social way
were R. A. Mitchell, the Gadsden cotton
mill man, J. M. Culps, vice-president of
the Southern, and ‘Walker D. Hines, vice
president and general counsel for the
Louisville & Nashville. There were a
number of prominent local persons before
the commission.
Mr. Hines the Least.
Mr. Hines Is still the toast of all those
who heard his great speech yesterday.
While decidedly the youngest of the of
ficials present, he was chosen to make
"the speech” before the commlsison for
the rallorads Interests, and right well was
the selection made.
A leading Alabama lawyer and man of
Judicial turn of thought, who heard tne
speech of Mr. Hines yesterday compli
mented It as the ablest effort that he had
ever heard.
"Assuming Mr. Hines’ premises correct
he made a speech for in excess of any ar
gument that I have ever heard,” said the
lawyer.
"It was logical and showed a perfect
knowledge of the question at Issue. It
can but be said that It was an able speech
from an able man.”
