 Of Pordoning Board Session

ney to come to Montgomery-a prophet Is not without honor save, etc. Ell lie West decided he would strike out for this city. Reaching here yester- day morning he weut immediately to the Capitol where he stated the case to the members of the Board of Par dons. First seen was Gen. W. w. Brandon. State Auditor. That courteous gentleman told his interviewer that the Board had adjourned and could not listen to any more pathos.
 It's not pathos I'm trying to hand you" said the young farmer who is
 missing a right hand by q dynamite performance What want to do Is to entertain. I have music caked on my brain and want every body can get to hear me-"
 cen. Brandon and Secretary of State Frank N. Julian have never been known to turn down a free show even If they have rejected a few applica- tions for elemency from widows and orphans.
 So, 1t was not long before Billie West was wooing the muses in the presence of these gentlemen: Gen. w. W. Brandon Secretary of State Julian, Hon. Harry c. Gunnels Superinten- dent of Education, W E. Fort, priv ate secretary to the Governor and his recording secretary. J. H. Nunnallee. Leon McCord. Secretary of the Supreme Court, Secretary s. P.S Kennedy, of Alabama Railroad Commission, Chief Clerk Brooks Smith, of the State Auditor, and Secretary Win Lloyd, Of the State Tax Commission.
 Many of these were moved to tears and tn ens to laughter, but as In all competitive afiairs of this kind there was one who stands head and shoul- ders over the others. It is truly said that Will Lloyd gave evidence of the greatest emotion while Mir. Nunnalee ran him a close second. These were the main contestants in the weep" line. The songs which West sung and the verso which he spun of were said to have been creditable. They must have been creditabie or Messrs. Nunallee and Lloyd would not have wasted any of their iachrymose nature on fakes
 People may get the impression that Billie Bates and her brother, Joe Bates are disreputable people, said Bil- lie West yesterday, after the scene. .As a matter ofa fact they are of tho most respected family of Terre Haute. They are both members of the church lit was their first and last adventure. They were on, a. visit to friends in Jacksonville, Fla, They disposed of their money fagter than they anticipat- ed and rather than write home for more money tried to beat their way back. That led to their arrest and the rest is known
 Billie West went back home last night happy for having delivered him. self of his compositions.

BoY-G1RL CONVICT ADVENTURE
 WAS sUBJECT.
Talkinw Joe and Billie Bates as His Theme Billie West of sfarshali
 sfnNs omeials to Tears.

Instead of sad narrative, copious tears and solemn appeals for mercy. the mempars of the State Board of Pardons were exhilarated yesterday morning with music and nrblogue. So rare was the occasion that the Board called in all other Capitol oficiais and clerks who wanted to enjoy. the pro- gram. It is said that when the group of officials adjourned from the scene and told of it in the corridors Attorney General Garber expressed a wish that 1t had been postponed.
 It was an echo of that road romance of a few months back in which Joe Bates and Billie Bates. brother and sister formed the principal parts This couple. 1t will be recalled. were arrest ed in coyington county for ''hoboing" and sent to Flat Top mines for four teen months Imprisonment. when they were to be changed from their street grab to the stripes of convict the astonishing discovery was made that Billie Bates was hot the boy that he was disguised to represent, not the boy that people thought he was and that the judge and others took him for, not boy at all--but 8 young, rather dernnre girl.
 As soon as this became known. to the Governor a parole was issued by Governor Conner giving the pair free dom. There was praise of the Pardon ing Board and the Governor in many parts of the State. But the most nov ed of all the sentimentalists seems to have been Billie West, young white farmer of Marshall county, living at Guntersrille, The unique features of the case drove this young farmer to song and verse. He went straight up in the air and came down with a bunch of humorous metre and jubilat- ing song,
 Billie West got immediately in com munication with Billie Bates and his brother who left the mines for Terre Haute, Ind, their home. Tn heir cor respondence struck a sympathetic cord and it drove Billie West to further poetic flight, to more exuberant and ethereal emotions. His lyric mind simply could not contain itself but burst into rhythm. The neighbors of the young farmer gave him audience and that was we'll but he looked for better and higher audiences He be- lieved the verse and song should reach the Capital city, should go to the very ears of the Pardoning Board and there spend Itself on the subjects of the ballad.
 And so he did. Although his unap- preciative friends at home told him he should not waste the time and mo-

Efforts of "Yeggs" to Crack
 Safe Of Dirie Coal Failed

Tn the shadow of the police head quarters. an attempt at safe-craclEing was made Thursday night, which, had 1t not been the job of obvious amateur cracksmen, would have resulted in a successful haul. The safe in the ofiee of the Dixie Coal Company, on Madison Avenue, near Perry Street, was the ob- ject of the would-be burglars. and while the eracksmen succeeded in un- covering the first compartment, they found 1t impossible to reach the inner money chamber, and were frustrated.
 The attempt was discovered Friday morning, as the employees of the com- pany opened the efIlce for the day. and the Incident was reported Immediately to Sheriff Hood. At g opcIock the blood hounds of the sheriff werS put on the

The latter could be taxed for the privilege of coming into Alabama to exercise the Tights and functions granted in char ter of another State. They could not be taxed for the right of organizing under the laws of this State. but the domestic railroads might properly be taxed for the privilege of. organizing here. There is no limitation, on the taxing power of the State to this ex- tent. y
