Seaman Compel Skipper 10 Pay
Thtir Wages.
NO PAPERS HAD BEEN SIGNED
United States Commissioner Garrett
Decided That Sailors Must be Dis
charged ard Given Their Money
Steamer Wlndber Held Up.

Five seamen of the crew of the
American steamer Windber lodged a
complaint before United States Com.
missioner A. G. Garrett against Cap.
tain Dow, master of the vessel, who
they claimed refused to pay them their
salaries when they demanded it yes
to-day. The men said that they board
ed the Windber at Providence just
before she sailed for this Fort, several
days ago, but that they had not signed
papers and could therefore. demand
their salaries and leave the ship
whenever and at what ,port they
chose.
After hearing the complaint, Com
missioner Garrett summoned Captain
Dow to appear before him yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, when the case
was heard. AT the trial Captain Dow
held that the men were compelled to
complete their trip back to Providence
before they could secure their salaries
or discharge, but as he was unable to
produce any papers showing that they
were signed for the return trip. the
commissioner ordered the captain 10
pay the men and give them their dis.
chorges.
The Windber was scheduled to sail
for Providence with cargo of coal
Yesterday afternoon. but at sunset last
might she was still at the coal piers.
The loss OF the five seamen seriously
crippled the vessels crew and she will
not be able TO leave this port until
more seamen are secured TO fill the
vacancies.
The vessel was formerly the British
steamer Daventry, which was recently
converted into n coal carrier at the
local shipyard She has been employed
i'll the coastwise coal trade out of this
port for several months. The Consoii-
dated Coal Company is her consignes
here.

coumsv Hail EuIs.

The first of December finds over two hundred prisoners in the county jail This number was determined today by actual count. A report of the expenses of the jail for the past month was made out by J. F. Mccoy and Albert Strat- ford and submitted to Sheriff Burgln. The list shows that of the two hundred prisoners behind the bars, flfty-nine are charged with capital offenses. These crimes in Alabama are murder, highway robbery, criminal assault and arson. Divided still further. the record shows that there are today forty-four men charged with murder, twelve with highway robbery hanging over their heads and three acsused of criminal as- sault occupying cells in county prison. The remaining one hundred and forty prisoners are locked up on divers charges. some of serious cases being as- saultswith intent to murder, burglary, grand larceny and embezzlement. Mis- demeanor cases usually run their course in the Police Court and prisoners for petty charges rarely remain in jail very long.
 The number of capital cases is un- usually large, and does not include a very small number of men who have been able to get out on bond As a rule there is no bond for capital of fense. Circumstances in certain cases, however make it possible for a pris- oner to get out, and a very few have been given liberty pending trial.

The Maritime Exchange.

Major w. F. Tehbetts. collector of customs for the port of Mobile. who. with number of local men interested in maritime business. recently formu- lated plans flor establishing a Maritime Exchange here, is more than ordinarily enthused over the prospect for a suc- cessful culmination Of the movement. Only those. said Major Tebbetts. who are really interested can. without due information. appreciate what the ex- change will mean. The purpose of the exchange will be. particularly. to pro- fect shipping interests. There has been. and is today. experienced much trouble in controlling seamen of ves- sells coming into this port, due. in a great measure to nefarious practices of men who make it business. when possible, to induce sailors and others on ships to desert and go to other vessels. Again it is purposed to have rooms, of suitable character, where officers of vessels may resort and commingle, one with the other, and discuss matters of vital import one to the other. While, sn q sense a business proposition, it will at the same time be a club for wayfarers of the deep.
