GERALD'S BIRTHDAY
VETERAN POLICE CHIEF IS e3
 YEARS OLD.
First Day of New Year Marked Anni- versary of His Birth at Fitz-
 patrick-Twenty Five
 Years in Office.

Adolph Sanford Gerald. twenty-five years Chief of the Montgomery Police Department. celebrated his 63rd birth day yesterday.
 He has lived in Montgomery county all the years of his life and since his con- nection with the police department has watched 1t grow from sixteen men to forty nine men, which he still regards as entirely inadequate for a city of the importance of Montgomery. Chief Gerald has not been at the head of the Montgomery department twenty five years continuously. His continuous record is twenty-three years. He was out of the service six years.
 December 19. 1873. Adolph Gerald. then 32 years Old was elected chief of police by the City Council and began his ser vice with Henry Faber, as Mayor. He served two years and six months. being succeeded by the late Gen. w. w. Allen, who was chief of police of Montgomery from 1875 to 1881. During his term of office. M. L. Moses was Mayor of Mont gomery.
 With the inauguration of Hon. J. B. Gaston. now probate judge of this coun- ty. as Mayor of Montgomery in 1881. Adolph Gerald was elected chief of po- lice, since which time he has held the office. He served from 1881 to 1885 un- SdSlOn' ITOU ioS0 10 l6oS under Mayor Warren s. Reese: from 1889 to 1891 under Mayor D. A. Graham: from 1891 to 1895 under Mayor John G. Crommelin; from 1895 to 1899 under May or John H. Clisby: from 1899 to 1903 un- der Mayor F. B. Joseph. and is just be- ginning another term under Mayor Thomas H. Carr.
 When Chief Gerald was given charge of the Montgomery Police Department In 1873 the officer ranking next to the chief was a lieutenant. This office was held by Moses P. Hickman. He was succeeded by John Martin during the incumbency of Mayor M. l.. Moses and while Chief Gerald was out of the ser vice, Martin was given the title of cap tain. and remained in that position un- til about two years ago when he re- moved to Brooklyn. N. Y. and was sue ceeded by Police Captain William H. Taylor.
 Chief Gerald was born at Fitzpatrick. then in Montgomery county. January 1, 1S4L He was the only son of P. s. Gerald. a native of New York, who was many years a prominent citizen of this county. He died In 1885
 The veteran police chief was educated at the school of Professor James Tay- Tor in Montgomery. at the Georgia Milf tary Academy Marietta. Ga. and at the famous Greene Springs Academy, in Greene county. now Hale, which was conducted by Professor Tutwiler father of Miss Julia Tutwiler.
 At this last school he was a class

MIR. LOUGH TO LEAVE
GOES TO CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, NEW ORLEANS.
He is organist at St. Johns Epis- ccopal Church and Has Made Deep Impression in
 Montgomery.

Mir. Alfred Lough, organist and choir master of St. Johns Episcopal Church' will leave in a few days for New Orleans to become organist of Christ Church Ca thedral.
 The New Orleans Picayune says:
 ''The position of organist of Christ Church Cathedral, recently rendered va cant by the resignation of Mir. Florian Schaffter. who has filled it for thirty-two years, will be soon occupied by MT. AL fred Lough, an English organ virtuoso of some renown and great accomplish ments, He is a MA. of Oxford, England. and Fellow of the Royal College of or ganists. He has been commanded sev- eral times to play before the Empress EuRenie, and was organist of the Royal Aquarium of London for two years. While there he played many times before royalty. He has had ten years expe- rience. both in the United States and Europe, with flattering success every where. The press of every city where he has ever played unites in justifying his right to the title of one of England's great organists.
 Besides his reputation as a concert or- ganist, which is indeed justly great. MT. Lough Is possessed of much skill in the training of church choirs. He studied vo- cal sculture under William Shakespeare. oneSof the best voice teachers in Europe. This Shakespeare Is >a descendant of the family of the great dramatist.
 MT. Lough is a member and communi- ca4...s ~f-the Church of England. He is at present residing in Montgomery. Ala, having been in that city for short time. He has, however, always had desire to live in New Orleans, and when the Ca- thedral organ lacked a master hand his name was promptly suggested. He &C., cepted the position of organist to Christ Church promptly, and will take charge of the musical department of the cathe- dral''
 The announcement that MT. Lough is to leave Montgomery will be received with profound regret. Although he has been here but few weeks he has made a deep impression as a musician and a gen. tleman.
 He is a musician of rare talent and has made the music at St. Johns Church the admiration of not only the congregation but of many others.

GERALD TO CASE.
Montgomery Chief Writes to Mobile
 Chief.

montgomery C0AeI Wr1CeS to moDlIe
 Chief.
 This talk of a controversy between Mo bile and Montgomery for the possession of Driscoll and Russell, alleged safe blowers. is all bosh!
 The cordialty between Police Chief John Case of Mobile and Police Chief Adolph Gerald of Montgomery is just too lovely for anything! Chief Gerald says so. and he ought to know /
 Moreover. Chief Gerald has told Chief Case that he bears him no animosity. Listen:
 Chief Gerald wrote a nice little private letter to Chief Case. Chief Gerald did not tell the newspapers about this incl dent. Consequently the newspapers did not print anything about it. The Mont gomery newspapers merely printed what Chief Gerald told them.
 No doubt the joy of Chief Case was un- bounded when he heard that Chief Gerald had hoisted the flag of truce. At any rate. Chief Case was not secretive about Chief GeraId's letter to him. He gave it to The Mobile Register.
 Here 1t Is as presented by The Register: Having the safeblowers, Russell and Driscoll in his possession, the Chief of Police of Montgomery has delivered him-
 
 here yesterday:
 Montgomery Ala. Dec. 30. "'Captain John Case, Chief of Police,
 Mobile. Ala:
 Dear Sir-From the exaggerated &C., counts as published in the daily papers, both in your city and Montgomery, the public would be induced to believe that there was a great controversy going on between the police department of this city and the one of which you are the official head. all of which furnish toothsome reading for the public. and is fatteringly edifying to the two burglars.
 T desire to assure you that I do not think that you have done any more than to perform your duty 10 your commun- tty as you saw it. l think we have a good case against the two burglars here and will have no difficulty in securing a con- viction. I sincerely hope that nothing has been said or done by unauthorized per- sons that would have a tendency to dis rupt the cordial feelings that always has and should exist between the two de- partments. Respectfully,
 "A. Gerald Chief of Police.'" Isn't that a nice letter?

The fiscal year runs from October 1st to September S0th, so that the earnings for the department for the last fiscal year do not show really the increase of the past few months over other preceding months at all accurately.
 ''The new mining contract under which the State is now getting a largely in- creased revenue only went into effect on January 1. 1908. so that on September 30. last. 1t had only been In effect nine months and while the fiscal year shows a net earning of only $16o lis.s5, the earn ings for the calendar year. of twelve months will be as much as $20O000. The accurate figures are not now to be had because good part of the crop made on the farms is unsold, and, moreover, none of the returns from any of the Con- vict Department enterprises for Decem- Der are at hand. Not only are the returns not in for December. but the disburse- nents for that month have not been paid and so the figures for the calendar year are not obtainable."
 It was declared at the Capitol yester- day that the earnings would not be less than $20O,0O0 for the year and would in all probability. run much above that figure.

More Than $2OO, 900 Earned by Prisoners. Greatest Income from Department During any Year in History of Compared
 With S6.253
 in 1900.

The earnings of the Convict Department of the State of Alabama for the calendar
 year just closed were more than $300.000 The earnings have increased from s.
 25314 in 1900 to over $200,0OO in the year just closed. The exact amount that the
 State treasury will receive from the Con-
 vict Department Is not just now obtain
 able. The December returns have not been made and the figures for that month
 are estimates. A large part of the crop
 made by the State upon it's convict farms
 has not been sold.
 The sale of these farm products will | materially increase the yearly. total. The
 amount. 1t is confidently believed, will
 well above $2o0.ooo.
 First Year's Earnings. The announcement of these figures yes- terday from the Convict Department is one of the most important economic
 statements made during the history of
 the State The statement carr.~.. with it the complete assurance of the success of the new plan of the State working it's own convicts in the mines instead of 'eas- ing them. The new plan Is responsible
 for the sensational jump of the convicts' earnings.
 The greater part of the $3eoOo0 turned
 into the State Treasury was dug up by
 the convicts out of the coal mines in the Birmingham district. The new system when it was first inaugurated at the be- ginning of the year 1908. was viewed in some quarters with apprehension. It was novelty. 1t had never been tried in Alabama.
 When 1t was first announced by the Governor and the State Board of Convict Inspectors that the State would declnie to lease any more convicts in the mines, but would give the mines the benefit of their labor. under the direct supervision of the State 1t was not even known that the mining companies would care to en- ter into any such arrangements with the State for its convicts.
 There was. however, lively bidding by different mining companies for the iaD~r Of the convicts. as proposed. The State proposed to take direct control of the con- victs. feeding, clothing, experimenting and guarding them. The mining compa- nies were to furnish the mines where the convicts were to be worked and the stock ades and hospitals to shelter them. The State was to do the rest.
 In December of 1902 the Governor and the members of the State Board of Con- vict Inspectors. President J. M. Car michael. Dr. Shirley Bragg and Judge W. c. Bradford. decided upon this plan.
 The States convicts were awarded to the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and to the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com pany, to be worked at two Jefferson County mines. Flat Top and Slope No. 10 at Pratt Mines.
 States Great Advantage.
 The new contract. which began in Jan- uary, 1903. were greatly to the advantage of the State. From the very first the re- turns to the State treasury were doubled.

 The Winton Lumber Company will de- velop this property at an early date by the establishment of large lumber mills and manufacturing plants.
 The development of this vast tract will mean thousands of dollars for the busi- ness interests of Jasper. and 1t is by far the most important deal for Jasper that has ever been made in Walker County property.

FIRST YEAR OF NEW CONVICT
 SYSTEM BROUGHT BIG RETURNS

This has continued throughout the entire calendar year.
 I The new plan has. too, more to com- mend 1t than the remarkable increase of the convicts' earnings. The condition of the convicts has greatly Improved. They have been better housed. better fed and better cared for than under the old sys- tenn. Agents of the State. who are only answerabie to the State, arc always in direct control of them.
 Only portion of the States convicts are worked in the mines. Many of them are leased to lumber men and turpentine operators. The convicts of Alabama are worked in the mines or leased to the tur- pentine and lumber men. From these convicts comes the income of the Stats Convict Department.
 The poorer convict, those less able to labor. are worked on the farms at Speig- ners, wetumpka, and the Tallapoosa River farm. The convict hospital is also located on the States farm and in 1t are supported the indigent convicts. The farming operations of the State have never made money. In no year dld the State receive as much money as the support of the farms cost. The farms have every single year cost the State money. In the year just closed the farm- ing deficit cut to some extent into the convict department profits.
 Governor Jelks and the Convict Board were authorized by the last Legislature to sell the States farming lands and the cotton min at Speigners. This. it Is ex- pected. will be done some time in the fu- ture. when other and more profitable ar- engagements will be made for the conyicts now on the farms of the State.
 Earnings by Years.
 At the request of representatives of the newspapers. a comparison table of the yearly earnings of the Convict Depart. ment since 1see was prepared by the de- partment. In the year 1895 the cotton mill at Speigner's was built and other outlays for the Convict Department were made.
 The official statement is as follows.
