Noun1 Comm Engages Attorneys to
Make DeSUnse.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Midship-
man Conn Of Carson City, Nevada,
has confessed that he is one Of those
who 1nazed Midshipman Kimbrough Of
New Jersey.
Senator Nixon 81 Nevada sent hts
secretary to Annapolis to interview
Conn. Young CONN freely acknowl-
edged completely In the olfense and IS
the only midshipman who confessed.
He has engaged counsel and will make
spirited denfense at the court mar
tial, which will begin December 9th.
Coflin's defense will be that hazing
is a regular thing at THE academy,
which cannot be stopped by one mid
shfpman, but should be dealt with
by>epngress. His counsel will make a
sspfea against dismissal on the ground
that Midshipman Meriwetther was
merely reprimanded for much more
serious offense.
Efforts are being made to induce all
the boys Implicated to confess and,
throw themselves on the mercy Of the
court in the hope that the court mar
tial will recommend light punishment
pending more definite legislation on
the hazing question by congress.

Christmas,

How did / spend Christmas?
HIM, in confidence,
I spent it. as always do,
In dollars, dimes and cents.
And, judging from thte missives
That is my bill-file lie
doubt If many spent the day
More thoroughly than 1!
l spent it at the dealers
For Mollie's rare 'Corot,'.
l spent it at the jewelers.
For Bridget's art nouveau.
I spent it at the florists
For natures costly crop;
I spent it in the market-place,
l spent it in the shop.
l spent with Mr.. Toyman,
In gay extravaganza,
My dollars made in Yankee-land
For dollies made in France;
For Noah's arks ard soldiers
And patent wind-up toys,
For drums and guns and others forms
OF loud expensive noise.
spent in half an hour
wat took me months to make,
With here and there a dime or two
4 For Charity's sweet sake
For though the rich with dollars
Their Christmas saint conjure,
i"Ct Nickeless" expresses well
The Patron of the poor.
They say that well-spent Sabbaths
A weeks contentment bring;
But, ali, well-spent Christmas Day
Is quite another thing!
For me years disqquiet
Still follows in it's train.
And at the end it will be time
To speno the day again..

DAMAGE BY FROST
 IS EXAGGERATED Director Chaffee Reports on Conditions for Week PEACH YIELD 50 PER CENT Cold Snap Caught the Fruit Trees so We'll Leaved Out That They Were
 Protected By Their Own
 Foliage.
PEACH YIELD 50 PER CENT

Montgomery. April 1S.-(Special) )-The injury to the crops. especially cotton, in this section, by the cold snap has been general, and it is now thought that there will have to be cotton replanting to some extent This will bring about trouble, for it is quite certain nat there Is going to be a scarcity of seed, and this, with the other conditions. seem to presage rather light crop after all.
 It is quite certain today that the dam age is not as great as 1t was thought last night to be. Station Director Chaf- fee of the weather bureau said today that there was little in the way of hurt last night, so far as he can see, and he is also of the opinion that there has been less general damage by the cold snap than was at first anticipated It is thought now that the damage to cotton will be lighter than was thought.
 Favorable Before Frost. The fruit crop has not been hurt by the last cold snap thoug-. it was badly damaged several weeks ago. Peaches will yield about 50 per cent, but apples. pears and plums promise well. The re-
 
 leaved out that they were thus protect ed by their own foliage.
 l In his report of the weather and crop conditions for last week. maae up before returns from the frost area came in, Director Chaffee of the Alabama weather station says:
 "rhe first five days were comparatively warm and showery, conditions generally 1 favorable for preparation, planting, ger imitation and growth. except in scat tered localities, where the rainfall was sufficient to retard work; the last two days were quite cool, particularly the 17th, on which date a lig.-- frost as far south as Bullock county; young corn and gardens were damaged somewhat in some northern counties. the uanage being slight in the middle portion of the state, where some early corn was injured; fruit was so wen protected by it's foliage that 1t was not materially damaged Planting Of upland corn Is nearing completion, with a considerable portion of the crop up to good stands and some being culti- vated no lowland corn has been planted. Cotton planting is nearing completion, | except in northern counties, with the early planted germinating satisfactorily Indications still point for a reduction in the acreage of cot1on. Wheat, spring oats and gardens are generally doing well, with shipments of early vegetables and strawberries increasing the latter mak- ing a satisfactory yield, wi,-i the quality good. The fruit outlook continues good, except for peaches, whic.l now promise a fairly good yield in many middle and southern countless"

Dispute on Reward.

| iACAC ndS ucN6lOp6u ulSDute to who is entitled to the reward of $4OO offer ed by the governor for the arrest of John | Williams, the man who shot and killed | State Senator R. l.. Hipp, near Joppa, Cullman county, last week. George Hall and s. A. Harper of Marshall county think | they are entitled to the money, while others think they should come in for 1t. The representatives of the contestants were before the governor this afternoon | and he told them to go back home and | try to settle the matter among them selves. The party consisted of George H. Parker, J. B. Brown, A. N. O'Rear | and o. S. Reden.
 MT. Parker was very sorry for the pub lication of story that there was fear that if Williams was taken back to Gull man he would be mobbed. There was no such danger he said The good citizens of Cullman county do not believe in mobs." he said "and it is not right to have such things charged up to them. Williams was followed by mob in | charge of the sheriff and there was no sign of a mob"
 Big Verdict. There was an echo of one of the most exciting wrecks in the history of Bir- mingham in the decision of the supreme court today in the case of Gertrude Jones vs. the Southern railway Ebert Jones' her husband was killed at the Twenty-seventh street crossing while conductor on the East Lake street car line in Birmingham, and his car was backed into by train on the Southern road. He was killed and other were hurt. The lower court gave Mrs. Jones a ver- dict of $6O00 and the high tribunal sus- tains it.
 Mine Report. Ace;cfopt ATipa T,oooa+o. Yr.., house has reported on an inspection of slope No. 10, one of the convict mines of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, at Pratt City. and has found nothing to complain of especially. He says
 The ve1tllation is good and the mine is in good condition as regards haulage and drainage. Where there Is any dust 1t is loaded and hauled out of the mines and the tracks are sprinkled with water The c5intany is driving a heading from the back slope to No. 10 and this will cut out two miles which the convicts have had to travel morning and night to get to their work"
 The mines is now working 230 miners, 65 inside day men and 16 outside day men,
