SHIPS
. CARRY U. S. COAL

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Despite
its Discrimination to do so, the navy
department has been obliged to enter
into contract with New York bro
kerage firm for the shipment of Amer
lean coal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast on foreign bottoms. The
amount of the shipments will aggre-
gate between $1,000 and 10000 tons
each for the navy yard at Mare Island
and the naval station at Bremerton,
Wash. The navy department was un-
able to make contracts for the trans
fer of the coal in American bottoms
because of q. lack Of such ships, and.
taking advantage of a section of the
revised statutes, which it is claimed
confers such authority, the secretary
of the navy has entered into contract
for foreign ships.
The matter, when first suggested
brought out a vigorous protest from
the Merchant Marine League Of the
United States. but the department felt
that 1t was justified in making the
arrangements it has. BY providing that
American coal be- furnished. the off,
ciais say that they are encouraging
one American industry al least.

RAISING CAMPHOR
TEXAS INDUSTRY
Output Will Soon Drive
japanese Product to
the Wall

Camphor farms are the latest addi-
tons to the resources of the Lone Star
state. SO far there are only two. both
Of which are operated by the govern
ment, but Texans confidently expect
their state to become one of the great
camphor producing REGIONS OF the
world.
Practically the entire supply Of
camphor now comes from Formosa.
The demand has increased to such an
extent that the attention of all the
leading countries of the world has
been directed to opening VI new
source of supply. This Is made neces-
! sary by the fact that in the manufac-
ture of modern explosives which are
used in high-power guns camphor
/ forms an important ingredient.
| Now that the japanese government
controls the worlds supply of the
product, 1t is by no means certain that
| 1t may be obtained in the desired
quantities at all times In the future.
/ In order to provide against any such
contingency as this. the growth of the
camphor shrub is being encouraged in
/ Texas.
! The camphor experimental farm at
Wharton was established nearly a
lyear ago. The shrubs have thrived
wonderfully well and they are now
as high as mans head.
New Process Of Extraction.
/ The process in operation in For
mosa for extracting the camphor is
to chop the trees down and cut them
into small pieces, from which the cam
phor is then distilled DIR. Watkins
will adopt a different method in
Texas.
He sows the camphor seeds like
wheat or oats, and the shrub quickly
sprouts. When 1t has attained height
of about three feet, 1t will be cut down
by a moving machine at height of
about one foot from the ground. The
several portions will be put through
the distilling process and the camphor
extracted.
From the tender stubble other shoots
will spring up. and the cutting process
can be repeated once a year for sew
eral years. 1t is asserted that q bet
! ter quality of camphor can be obtained
| by this method than by the ancient
process that is in use in Formosa. The
/ crop requires no attention except the
, sowing and harvesting.
It Is claimed by Or. Watkins that 9
!, large portion of southwest Texas is
{ specially adapted to successful cam
phor growing. At present prices one
acre of camphor would yield prof
. Of about $3.50. 1t is expected, however
q that when it's cultivation becomes gen.
r eral in Texas there viii be drop il
e prices.

Eczema Germ
Discovered.
Dir. Dennis, Well Known Specialist,
Explains Discovery in an
Official Report.


Explains Discovery in an
Official Report.
In a paper read before the National
Medical Society in Chicago, DR.. d. ID.
Dennis explained his experiments
which led up to the discovery of the
eczema germ.
This discovery has settled the long
disputed questions that skin diseases
are due not to condition of the blood
but to disease of the skin itself. DR..
Dennis explained that cures could be
effected only by curing the skin
skin sufferers, he said, were entirely
healthy in all other respects, showing
no pathological symptoms.
BY applying certain harmless veget-
able ingredients direct to the injured
skin the doctor explained how the dis
eased condition could be relieved in
stantly, taking away the terrible itch
and leading to an early cure.
The reading of the paper was fol,
lowed by a general discussion in which
4 number of Chicago's most eminent
physicians participated. In reply to
several questions DR.. Dennis defended
his course in having permitted the D.
ID. d. Co. of Chicago. to put out his
prescription in original bottles to be
sold at 81 a bottle, instead Of stating
his formula only to brother physicians
who could then prescribe the remedy.
DIR. Dennis said there we're thousands
of sufferers from skin diseases who
could not or would not pay the regular
fees for being under the care Of physi-
clan, so that the same results could be
accomplished by selling ID. D. D. Pre-
scription" in original bottles through
druggists. He declared that he did not
consider his remedy patent medicine
in the ordinary sense Of the word.
which was evidenced by the fact @har
while some brother physicians had ap-
parently grown jealous of him. others
were freely directing their patti nts ~
use d. d. D. Prescription Tor eczema

MAIL COMES DIRECT
ROUNDABOUT ROUTE FROM BIR-
 MINGHAM IS ABANDONED.
Under the Former Arrangement, Night Letters Were Sent to Selma via Southern, But Were
 Often Delayed.

Owing to the complaints of number of Montgomery merchants and busi- ness men, a certain mail service be- tween Birmingham and Montgomery, which has been on for the past two or three years, has been discontinued by order of E. P. King of Atlanta. acting superintendent of the United States railway mail service.
 Under the old regime it had been the rule to send all mail from Birming- ham to Montgomery. which came to the Birmingham postofiice after I o'clock in the afternoon, by way of Selma The mail at Birmin gham for Louisville and Nashville passenger train No. is made up at o'clock. and after that hour no more mall can go to Montgomery on that day, there being no more trains. This train reaches Montgomery at 7:25 p. m.
 In order to get mail to Montgomery at the earliest possible time after that hour it was sent to Selma over the Southern and would reach Mont gomery early the next morning, pro- vided the schedule was not delayed.
 The train, however. missed connec- tion in Selma so often by reason Of lateness. that Montgomery business men have been registering frequent complaints. Eleven days out of the fifteen days of one month, trains failed to make connection in Selma, and hence mail was twelve hours late in reaching Montgomery.
 Under the new rule, this system IS entirely abandoned. and this class of mail will be brought to Montgomery on local passenger train No. of the and Nashville Railroad, ar irving here at 10:10 a. m.
 Notice of the change was received yesterday by Postmaster Dimmick.

ANOTHER VICTIM
w. ]. HUGHEY FOUND UNCONsCI-
 OUs ON STREET.
Evidences Show That Man Had Been Assaulted and Robbed7-Highwny- men Hnve Not Yet been
 Located by Police.

Birmingham, August ,22-(Special)- Another victim of the highWaymen was added to the already long list today when the unconscious body of w. J. EuRhey, a well known white man or Pratt City, was found near the inter section of Thirty-fifth street and First avenue.
 Evidences showed that the man had been assaulted and robbed. His pockets were turned inside out and his clothes were covered with blood. A deep gash in his head showed that some blunt instrument had ben used and only a few feet away was found piece of a trolley pole with blood stains on it.
 The unconscious man was sent to CopeIand,s Infirmary and the police notified. A detail of officers was sent to the scene and the men are still in- vestigating the case. Hughey was identified by papers found on the in- side of his coat pocket, which was over looked by the highwaYmen in their haste.
 At the hospital tonight 1t was said that there is little chance for Hughey's recovery He is still unconscious and may never be able to tell anything about how he was held up.
 Many hold-ups of this nature have occurred recently near the same Ioca- tion. In every instance the highway men have made tt cir escape. The Chief of Police had decided to take extra pre- cautions and has instructed the of ficers to pay particular attention to railroad yards and railroad crossings.

If some of the occupants in some of Moptgomery's business buildings can't induce their landlords to install elevat- ors, it is certain that they will here after conspicuously notice the absence of the mall carrier from their offices. Mail carriers In Montgomery will no longer deliver mail to offices higher up than the second floor in buildings where there is no elevator.
 Pursuant to instructions received yes- terday from the Department at Wash ington, Postmaster Dimmiek immedi- ately put this rule into effect.
 The recent visit of q postoffice in- spector to Montgomery is primarily the cause of the change in the delivery of mail. The inspector one day went with a mail carrier in the business dis trict on his run and found that the postman suffered great inconvenience by having to climb so many flights of stairs for the purpose of taking mall to offices in buildings not provided with elevators.
 He discovered there were quite number of such buildings here, and thet the carrier was greatly handicap ped in distributing mail by having to contend with such inconveniences It is understood that he therefore report ed and recommended to the Department that the delivery of mail higher than the second story, in buildings without elevators he discontiued.
 The delivery of mail to rooms or suites of rooms in apartment houses Is

FACESGRAVE CHARGE
NEGRO ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
 ING WOMAN OF HIS RACE.
His Arrest EReeetd by Negro JanItOr at Court House With Gum-shOe Methods of His Own
 That Win.

On a charge of assault which was yesterday afternoon sworn out by Eli jah Cook before Justice of the Peace B. C. Young, Robert Benbow, a negro about 50 years of age, was last evening arrested and locked up in the county jail. The warrant charged the negro with improper relations with Lena Banks. a negress. which relations were alleged to have been brought about by force and against the consent of the negress.
 The story told by Cook. the afiant fin the case is to the following effect. Benbow. he said. arrested the negress yesterday In the performance of her duties al the house at which she was employed, 431 South McDonough Street, and assaulted her. The ne- gress, he said, immediately reported the violence to her mother, by whom it was reported to him, the result be- ing the swearing out of the warrant and the arrest of the negro accused.
 The capture of Benbow was made by Alexander Andrews, negro janitor employed at the Court House, in sleuth like ways of his own. By hiding un- der the house in which Benbow resid- ed, 25 Watt Street. Andrews awaited the arrival of the negro, or of some interested party who could throw light on the accused negros whereabouts.
 Upon following two negresses from Benbows house. little later, Andrews was able to capture the desired party. whom the "trusty" found taking refuge in HaIe's Alley. between Grove and Ripley Streets.
 When brought to. the county jail last evening, Benbow denied the ac- cusation which had been brought against him, and claimed innocence of the charge preferred. The Banks wo- man, Cook stated. Is about 25 years of age, frail and of good reputa tion among the negroes.

Sheriff Has Black Who Stole Prohibit
 ton Petition
 Talladega, Aug. 22.-(Special )-The negro, Alex Bonner. who stole the pro- hibitlon petition. was given up to the sheriff last night and made bond for $40O.
 All evidence in the affair points to- ward the fact that the negro was put up to his thievery by some saloon keepers in the city. Doubtless real izing that their action had lost votes for them very heavily, the saloon keepers interested opened negotiations for the delivery of the negro.
 There was a reward of $100 offered for Bonner, but the friends of prohibit tion, ascertaining that some whiskey men were on his bond in the sum of $400 for his appearance In court next Saturday, decided to withdraw the re- ward, believing that the negro would be delivered rather than pay the amount of the bond, and their suppo- sition was correct, for the negro was delivered up last night.
 Superintendent G. E. Brooks of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was in the city yesterday making prepara- tions for beginning construction of the new station. He made arrangements for temporary quarters for the passen- ger department in an old residence and store house on Battle Street, but will have to build a temporary freight house.
 Work on the new station will begin in the next fortnight and will require about four weeks for completion.

In the Recorder's Court yesterday af- ternoon T. o. Naftel, the owner of a saloon on the cornoer of Randolph and Decatur Streets, was fined $25 and costs for interference with an officer in the discharge of his duties on Sun day. The specific charge against the saloon keeper was that of interfering with Patrolman Patrick on Sunday, when the police officer, dressed in plain clothes had been stationed in the vi- cinity> of MT. Naftel's saloon, and had attempted ingress to the establishment at a time when violation of the Sun day liquor law seemed evident to him.
