Old Veteran Pardoned.

Henry Vandiver. an old confederate vet
cram convicted in Colbert county and
Given fine of 500 and cost for Illicit re-
la lions, has had his civil and political
rights restored by Governor Conner, who,
in explanation of his act, among other
things says:
''Thls is an old confederate soldier and
we must be very lenient with them"
However, the governor further shows
that the application for clemency was ac-
compaaied by sgners to the legal number
of citizens recommended by the pardon
board and also the trial judge.
The governor went over the capitol
grounds with Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Wilson today and discussed with
him the improvements TO be made in the
lawns and grounds. The plans contem-
plate beautiful grounds, and it is expect
ed that with the work now on hand the
whole outlook will be made one of the
most beautiful in the south.
There were a number of members OF
the legislature about the capitol today
among them being Lamar Smith, the
happy represen tative from Gilmore.
Capt. A. c. Sexton, deputy insurance
commissioner, is back from Atlanta
where he put in several days in business
connected with the Atlanta-Birmingh CHAM
Insurance company, for which he is one
of the receivers.

too that it serves to keep them in good

AYtie ByoufheYs DYaps the
PIX Slip from Charlie frank
Frank Says Third Baseman Poser Which Recalls Former
Local Criticism-New Orleans Writer Says Franks
Team a Four Flusher

Artie Brouthers announces Manager
Charles Frank of the Pelicans, will not
be a member of the New Orleans outfit
this season Frank in an interview with
Will Hamilton of the New Orleans Item
declares that if he is unsuccessful In
trading Brouthers, he will fire him. Frank
charges Brouthers with being poser"
and states that this attribute counteracts
his ability as a ball player.
1t is thus seen that the mighty has fall
len again. Poor Charles Frank. 1t is re-
membered last season when the Pelicans
visited Birmingham after Brouthers had
been returned south from Philadelphia.
The Age-Herad offered the manager of
the Pelicans consolation. At that time
it was seen that Brouthers thought him
self too valuable 1t is well remembered
how Brouthers acted in Birmingham last
season, and how the fans amused them
selves whenever he approached the bat.
Brouthers, especially in his downfall, calls
attention to the fact that fine ball
player may be altogether useless to a
team, that he may be, in fact, a detri-
ment. Now Brouthers is a fine ball
player. There's no contradictng that fact.
But If Harry Vaughn should sign him
there are several sporting writer's and
many. many fans in this city who would
regret the incident sorely.
Again have the sporting editors of Biz
mingham proved their predictions correct.
1t is stated even in New Orleans that
Frank has no penrant winner The Age
Herald has contended that Frank would
finish in the first division. but that his
aggregation was not on an equal roofing
with the Barons, the Crackers of At
lanta or the Memphii.

team. places severe punch under
Frank face, and predicts dire results TN

In the outfield the Pelicans have two
men who are good. Joe Rickert, Diamond
Joe" and Phil Nadeau, the Canuck, who
played with Memphis last season.
The roasting of the Item came after
the game Saturday afternoon between the
Chicago Nationals and the Pelicans, the
victory going TO the former by score
of II TO T.
While it isbelieved that the Pelicans are
woefully weak in spots attention is called
to the fact that sporting editors are often
prone to take snap Judgment. A South

victory of the National league champions
is prevented from beginning a slaughter.

were beaten for several consecutive
