Duncan Still at Large.

There, was nothing new in the jail escape story today Duncan the escaped murderer is still at large though the ef- forts to locate. him have not relaxed Many believe that he has not yet left the city while others believe that he has gotten out of the State safely.
 A. J. Dye. the Nashville man who was receptured, still maintains that he knew nothing of the plot until Monday morning when he was asked to join the men going out. Deputy Sheriff Gaddis. who has been in the neighborhood of Gadsden for the last three or four days looking for Duncan. has returned to Birmingham. He had quite an experience on Wednesday night. With two other men he went after some men supposed to be Duncan and two of the escapes. The officers were fired upon and one shot went through the clothing of Deputy, Gaddis, narrowly missing his body. It is not believed the man who did the shooting was Duncan.

MRS. UP. FURNISS DIES

MkS. J. F. FUkNlSS DlE0 ONE or sELxA's MOST BELOVED
 MATRoNs.
 She Was Taken With Pneumonia
 Only . Few Days Ago-The
 Funeral of the Late Will
 liam ullman.
 Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, Jan. 24 Mrs. John P. Furniss died this morning at . o'clock.
 Two or three days ago she was taken i'll with pneumonia, and although mediz cal skill and loving hands did all In their power to save her. efforts were without avail.
 Mrs. Furniss was the oldest child of the iato Col. N. H. R. Dawson. She had five children. three of whom have. preceded her to the other world. Her two sons, Drs. Dawson and John Fur1iss were away from home at the time of her death. studying in their chosen profess sion. the former being in Berlin and the latter in New York. Dr. John Furniss was telegraphed for and will arrive to- morrow.
 The funeral will take place from St. PauTs Episcopal Church Sunday morn- ing at 9:30 o'clock.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Mathews Furniss was lovely woman. She possessed all or the graciousness, ease of manner, courtesy of bearing and noble traits of character of her iliustrious father. Coupled with these she had a strong intellect, an easy flow of language and was well informed on all of the topics of the day. Young people loved her. sought her companon- ship and delighted to be near her She was never so happy as when making others happy.t Her life has been one sweet plan of peace. Her sympathetic soul was touched with the sorrows of others. She shared with her noble hus- band all of his joys and sorrows. When Dr. Furniss Yas worried over the dan gerous illness of some patient, his wife shared hts great anxiety and when health was restored to the sick one, she rejoiced with him over the recovery. She was in- deed and in truth a true physician's wife.
 Mrs Furniss was born in the lap of luxury. She did not use that blessing selfishly, but in a quiet, modest, unosten- tious way went about like He who walk ed beneath Gallilean skies and by Judean brooks, doirg good. Many poor person In Selma can raise his voice in her praise today, and yet she was so quiet and gracious in her good works that she did not let her right hand know what her left was doing.
 Mrs. Furniss had an even temperament and was the same modest, attractive, pleasing character, whether entertaining her guests in the drawing room or on some mission of mercy. She was not strong woman physically. and could, therefore. the more readily sympathize with others. She exercised a potent in fiuence for good in this community. Her strong common sense, her singliness of purpose, her desire to be always right, was felt in whatever circle she might be thrown.
 Mrs. Furniss was, perhaps, the most popular woman in Selma, and the pro- found sympathies of all go out to pr. Furniss and his two sons in the great loss that has come to that happy house. hold. Her death will not only be deplored in Selma, but every one who has ever been thrown with her will have that same feeling of sadness that her most in- timatc friends feel.

Nothing Has Yet Been Heard from Frank Dncan, the Condemned Murderer, Who Broke Jail
 at Birmingham.

Birmingham, Jan. A-(Special}-Mayor Drennen today was asked for assistance by w. H. Camp of Camp Springs, in Lawrence County, who came here yester- day in response to a letter received from a man signing himself R. D. Buchanan who offered Camp position which would pay him $50 for three months work, or Ss3O for six months work. Buchanan wrote on paper which had at it's head announcement for the Columbia Whole sale, House, with main office at 324 Dear born Street Chicago. There were three letters received by Camp the first stating that he had been referred to as reliable man and that the Columbia Company" desired an agent to represent them In Lawrence County. The second letter told him that all representatives were worked on a salary basis. It also stated that it was necessary for the agent to come to the office in Birmingham to get instructions as to how to start. The third letter asked that he come on and notify the office when he would start. When Camp got here yesterday he went to the office in the Jefferson County Bank building and found that Buchanan had gone and the office was closed. It de- velopes today that Buchanan sold cer- tificates in this "co-operative mercantile house." for s10 each to all representa- lives. It is believed by the police that he is one of the men under arrest in Meridian, Miss, for the alleged fieecing of a number of farmers in that vicinity It is also believed that he Is one of the two men who have been working farmers in this vicinity in the last few weeks. Camp was not the only one who re- ceived an offer through the mails for a position and came on to Birmingham several having paid $1o for the certificate of membership in the cooperative mer- cantile house.

Patton had pistol in his over< coat pocket, and, in removing it from, its receptable. dropped it to the ground. The jar exploded the cartridge, the ball en- tering his left hip. Since the accident he has kept his bed. and few days ago blood poison developed, causing his death early this morning. He was about 30 years old and was we'll liked among the white people.

NATIVE VIEW Of LEPER ISSUE.

The Sentinel, a new Hawaiian paper,
printed partly in the vernacular has
the following in it's current issue:
The Sentinel joins in the protest
against the effort made by our Dele
gate to have the control of the Leper
Settlement placed under the Federal
government.
OF course we understand that the
Delegate has an old score to wipe out
against the present Board of Health in
the abrupt and, we believe unwarrant-
ed, dismissal of his brother two years
ago from the position of secretary of
the Board.
We sympathize with his feelings in
the matter but beg to remind him that
the welfare and comfort of a consid-
cradle number of our people are too
precious to be put in jeopardy to salts
fly his very proper feelings of resent
ment against a number of individuals.
When once the control of the settle
ment has passed into Federal hands
we will then have absolutely no right
to have q say as to what should or
should not be done at the settlement.
as we elect the Legislature who make
and unmake the laws governing the
Board of Health and who vote the
money or sinews of war.
The Legislature is privileged to visit
the settlement and make an exhaustive
examination of the way affairs are or
have been conducted there. They can

OLD TIME VISITS
TO THE VOLCANO

The Advertiser is indebted to Mrs E
G. Hitchcock of Hilo for the following
notes by the late S. N. Castle of visits
to the volcano of Kilauea in 1887 and IS47:
I visited the volcano on Hawaii, called
Kilauea, in the early part of September
1887.
AT that time in addition to what is
known as the large lake in the southwest
open for many years and generally active,
there were several smaller lakes of vari-
GUS sizes, the largest of which may have
contained twenty or thirty acres, and all
of which with lie large lake We're very
active.
There were also many conical chimneys
of different heights from four to twenty
or thirty feet high, open at the top and
from which melted lava was continually
thrown UP. In the vicinity of these cones
or chimneys was a continual tremuious
motion such as would be imagined to
take place upon any covering placed over
caldron of boiling liquid driven by a
furious fire
The crater was filed with smoke and
heat from the lakes and chimneys. There
were also continual noises similar to
several steam engines letting off their
steam-also kissing and believing and
numbering noises of a most unearthly
nature.
/ spent the first day of July. 1S47 at the
same volcano. Everything was changed
not cone in the volcano sending forth
smoke and fre-hardly a crevice from
which issued smoke or steam. No lake
open but the large one.
The whole interior of the volcano in
side of what was known as the Black
Ledge, elevated perhaps 200 feet No
noise, or none at least worthy of notice.
All silent and stl.l. From the brink of
the crater at night the heavy sluggish
waves of the large lake illumined that
portion of the crater with a lurid light
appearing at distance not unlike the
light produced by the burning of the log
and brush heaps of newly chopped field
in a wooded country.
The contrast between the volcano as
it was on the first of September, 1887, and
as it was on the first of July, 1S47, can
hardly be imagined without having been
seen

twice year, and for this reason every
care must be exercised in keeping
track of the location of the cable on
the oceans bottom in order that the
break may be found quickly and re-
paired.

of days after being sighted to complete
the laying of the cable into Honolulu
and because of this Honolulu people

see how the work is done.

DR.. De FARlA
HEARD FROM

Editor Advertiser saw in today's
Advertiser a notice in which you evident
ly refer to my name and hurt me without
being able to prove what you state. I
only wish you to tell me the name of the
Portuguese paper of New Bedford to
which you refer, which would be very
easy for you seeing that you possess such
paper for translating what you state.
If I was a runaway I could not have all
my books and surgical instruments with
me and would try to conceal myself in
profession, what 1 don't do. 1 have an
advertisement in your paper, a sign out
side of my Office with my name plainly
written which L would not do if I was
a thief and runaway which had to fear
the action of the justice. When the JUS
tice of New Bedford send to arrest me as
thief or a runaway, then there will be
reason to talk.
AS to Dr. Alvarez's assertion it is clear
that it is displeasure and jealousy which
naturally makes him talk. Having prac-
ticed amongst the Portuguese and made
what he now possesses by what they
gave him to earn he cannot see with good
looks that Portuguese doctor establish
himself here because evidently he would
take some practice away from him. He
fears so much the competence of Por-
tuguese doctor that at. the beginning he
found out to make me down hearted talk
ing bad of the Portuguese, calling them
swindler, etc; afterwards he proposed me
to go in partnership with him but in con-
ditions 1 could not accept because 1 did
not come here to work as his slave and
give him almost all 1 could make Trust
ing in my liabilities and in what l can
do, if the people just would try what l
can able to do, / did not accept his pro-
posal and opened my office alone. Hence
his despair and the trial to hurt me by
all means, that 1 cannot make any prac-
tice and go away leaving him the field
free to explore the Portuguese. All good
sensed people will see this clearly. Poor
way to put a supposed rival out OF the
battle, and very beautiful fraternity such
as Dr. Alvarez'si 1t would be further
more pretty and decent to work in the
same clinical nelQ as L 90 anu SHoW, IL
he can do it, that he knows more than
1 do and take the practice away from
me; but as, perhaps he has the conscience
that by this honorable way he could not
supplant me- he takes the mean of the
poisonous detraction to prejudice me.
The people, especially the Portuguese.
will see which suits them best
/ have travelled considerably, made
friends everywhere, and did not expect
to make here an enemy just because 1
want to work honestly and. make my liv-
ing. 1 suppose I have the same right to
live under the sun as anybody else.
Thanking you for the insertion of this
in your columns, L remain,
Yours truly.

der was plenty good enough for the

A steady diet of pork and beans or
the usual army rations would kill off
all the kanaka lepers within three
months.
There may be some heartless ones
who will say that that is the best thing
that could happen to a leper, but life is
sweet under most circumstances and a
leper may cling to longer life as much
as any of us and it is his God given

ings have any right to curtail for him.

in 1868. He served on the European and
North Atlantic stations for several years,
and in 1928 surveyed the routes on the
west side of Nicaragua for ship canal,
besides doing much similar work at Grey
