EXCITEMENT OVER
 NEGRO'S ARREST
WILL MOORE IS SAID TO HAVE STOLEN FROM EMPLOYERS-lN SPITE OF MAYORS REQUEST WEEDS STILL GROW.

Bessemer, June 21.-(Special. )-WilI Moore, negro, employed as driver by the Tennessee company at it's city commissary, was arrested last evening by Detectives Patton and Parsons and locked up on charge of larceny. He would go out in the city each morning and solicit orders from the regular customers. Returning to the commits sary, he would turn the orders in and while they were being filled he would steal anything from a pound of butter to cheese, according to charges.
 Detective Parsons went down to his house yesterday and took look around and here is what he found that had not been paid for: One ham, one cheese, a pound and a half of butter, one pair of trousers (jeans) one coat, three pounds of sugar and 50 pounds of bacon.
 Cut the Weeds.
 The call has been made several times during the past month that the weeds around the city be cut.
 Mayor Rush has given everyone in the ClIy d chance to nave the weeds cut but in a good many instances the request has been ignored. The result is weeds are still growing. The weed business is certainly flourishing around Bessemer and it is now up to the citizens to see that the weeds are removed.
 The doctors in the city have ex- pressed themselves in very forcible manner on this subject and they all claim that the weeds should be re- moved.
 Personal and General. Joe McDonough and R. J. Searson of Pratt City are visiting friends in the city.
 MT. and Mrs. John Bigler have re- turned to the city after months stay at Hot Springs. Sol Brick has returned to the city after spending several weeks in Hot Springs.
 Services were held in all of the churches today, both morning and evening, and each church had a large attendance.
 The mission service which com menced at the Trinity Episcopal church this morning is being largely attended and it will continue until next Friday evening"

The Montgomery Pretzels today and the Montgomery Pretels of the first visit to Birmingham are two entirely differ ent aggregations.
 Then they stood at the head of the column.
 Now they are no higher than seventh in the race. and may some of these days be below the Barons.
 But the standing of the club Is not the only change undergone. There has been change In the personnel of the team.
 Instead of Baxter. Ed Greminger is playing first base. Baxter having been given his unconditional release when Bir- mlngham refused to trade Meek for him. Perry has been switched from second to third base, his regular position, and Has sett, formerly in the outfield, is playing second. Ryan is again in the game, play ing center

BARONS RETURN
 ID BIRMINGHAM Only Two Victories In Six
 Games WON FIRST AND LAST On First Trip To Nashville and Alt Ianta Barons Got But One Game. Bill Ak Writes of Trip,
 and Comments.
By BILL AK.

The Barons have just concluded a little trip, extending from Birmingham to Nashville, from Nashville to Atlanta, and from Atlanta to Birmingham.
 On this trip six games were played, of which number the Barons were neces- sarily satisfied with one-third, 1. e., two.
 During the administration of Manager Vaughn, when the Barons took the same trip, six games were played, and the Barons managed to get but one. That victory was gained in Nashville.
 On the first trip the Barons won every game played against Nashville but lost them all again, save the one mentioned above.
 On the second trip, Nashville found the Barons comparatively easy. but the Bar ons won all the Atlanta games, although they got away with only one.
 What will be the result of the third trip to Nashville and Atlanta? Will Bir- mingham find both easy and win each series, or will both come exceedingly hard the Barons losing every game?
 It remains to be seen.
 The Barons started off well enough when Robertaille held Nashville to two hits in the first game and shut the Vol unteers out. But the second day Turner was literally and figuratively mangled. On the third day disastrous errors by Douglass and Raub indirectly caused the defeat of Mccain Robinson.
 McNeal started the ball to rolling in Atlanta, and when he began pitching to the Crackers in their half of the ninth the score was tied. In the ninth he mo- tified Manager Molesworth that he was "all in," and Robertaille was substituted, Robertaille got the team out of that ninth inning hole, but lost the game in the tenth.
 The following day, Robertaille worked against Cummings and the Barons suf- fered another defeat.
 In each of these games rank decisions of the umpires did much toward the de- feat of the Barons. Atlanta fans will ad- init as much. That fact Is an open se- cret in Atlanta.
 On the third day Turner went to the slab, and although he was not effective, defeated Ford, who was even less ef- fective.
 So the two series were concluded with the Barons having won the first and last game, and having lost all that went be- tween.
 Manager Molesworth has returned his team to Birmingham, where this after noon he encounters the Montgomery Pret- gels, and during the last three days of the week the Atlanta Crackers
 Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the Barons play Montgomery in Mont gomery, and returning home meet the Nashville Volunteers.
 There remain. therefore, two more weeks in the east. Then comes the sec- ond trip into the heart of the west.

mingham a new catcher and two new pitchers have been acquired, these being Catcher Hart and Pitchers McCafferty and Juul. In addition to Baxter, there have been several men turned adrift. Stackpole. Van Anda. Helm, weems and others have been released.
 Other changes are imminent, too. Kay, an outfelder, formerly with Washington, will join Montgomery in about two weeks, he at the present time being i'll with fever. He will supplant Manager Ryan at center. It is known, too, that Man ager Ryan is not altogether satisfied with Pope, and that he has made certain eff forts to part company with him. The lad is a rattling good infielder, but is hit ting no harder than 200.

Memphis, June 2l.-While Memphis had the advantage today in the number of hits, poor base running cost the game At the start of the ninth inning the score was to 1 in favor of the visiting team, but Memphis rallied and when Ryan was relieved by Fritz another run had been scored and the bases were full. Fritz, however, allowed only one of the run ners to score. Score:

Philadelphia, June H.-Thrice overtaken to wed, Nathan Presser, a produce dealer aged 37 years, committed suicide at his home here today by pouring oil over his clothing and then setting it on fire. He removed the tank from an oil stove and after pouring the contents over his clothes went into the yard where he applied a match When members of his family found him he was burned from head to foot and unconscious.
 At the hospital he was able to tell the physicians he had sought death by fire. According to his friends he was engaged to wed an Allentown girl, and twice be- fore when on the point of marrying he had lost the money he had saved for the occasion.

 "Oh, Meek,' called the umpire, you will have to go out, you know"
 Meek gently knocked the dirt off the end of his shoe with a bat and said: Come over here and put me out"
 Well, I would like to do that" replied O'Brien with smile that resembled a wild cat trying to bite hole in granite mile post.
 But Meek did not really mean those fearful words, for he put his bats in their case and walked away. There was no love in his breast for O'Brien as he disappeared through the gates. His bear ing was heavy with the crime that was being committed against him.-Atlanta Journal.

TAFT MAKES ADDRESS.
Speaks at Meeting of Virginia Bar
Association.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 7.-Following
dure by Judge H. Mcdowell of Lynch
burg William H. Taft addressed the
Virginia Bar association, giving in do.
tail his views on the delay in fae ad
ministration OF the law and sugge'y
tions for reforms. t-tDssas-. r-.s-~-
Judge Taft presented his subject by
stating that the end sought in the ad.
ministration of justice was to promote
tranquility and contentment among
the people. 1t had long been estab-
l1shed that the supreme court of the
United States was the ultimate ar
bitter of the great political and legal
issues, deciding on the limitations of
both the legislative and executive
branches of the government, which
mad carried the usefulness of the
courts beyond anything attempted in
other countries. Notwithstanding this
desirable situation Mr. Taft expressed
a doubt that our present administra-
tion of justice insured general pop,
ular satisfaction with its results.
There are," he said abundant
evidences that the prosecution of
criminals has not been certain and
thorough to a point of preventing pop
ular protest. The existence of lynch
ing in all parts of the country is di
rectly traceable to this lack of uni
formity and thorough enforcement of
our criminal laws"
One remedy, Mr.. Taft said, must be
reform in our judicial procedure,
which now is too cumbersome. An
other would be more expedition on the
part of judges in rendering their opin-
ions. AS to appeals Mr.. Taft believes
that "the court of first instance" and
The immediate appellate courts should
be for the purpose of finally dispos-
ing in just and prompt way of con-
,entions between litigants.

FOR ELECTION
OF SENATOR
Special Session Of Iowa Leg
iSlature Probable.
CUMMINS MAY WIN OUT

Assembly as Now Constituted Said to
Be Dominated by Progressive" Re-
publicans-Gossip From Des Moines
Shows a Bitter Factionai Feeling
That Threatens to Endanger the
Party's Success in Coming Election.
Des Moines. Aug. Iowa was de-
clared to be in state of mourning
for the late William B. Allison by
Governor A. B. Cummins. The gov
ernor and other state officials will go
to Dubuque Saturday to attend the
funeral.
st is believed that the governor will
soon call special session of the leg
is1afure and his chances of being
chosen successor to the late Senator
Allison will be bright, as the assem-
bly, is dominated by progressive Re-
publcans. The session, if called, will
probably meet in October.
The radical Cummins men declare
that it depends on the attitude OF the
standpatters whether the state shall
be the scene of a bitter contest, insist
ing that if they cease fighting Cum
minis and concede his election to the
senate there will be no trouble this
year. They say it is f..
Now the Governors Turn
and that the time has come for the
cessation of the fight against him
which has characterized the politics
of Iowa for the last seven Or eight
years. They point out that nearly
half of the voters of the party en-
dorsed the governor for senator as
against Allison. They declare that
further opposition to him for the SEN
atorship will be disastrous to the
party at the fall election. Some of
these radicals say it endangers the
legislative ticket and others insist
that the danger may include the whole
ticket.
On the other hand is the extremely
radical standpatter, who insists that
it is the duty Of Governor Cummins
not to be a candidate for the success
sion for the reason that it will en-
danger the success of the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. They say
that i'll some of the districts, even be-
fore the death of Senator Allison, rad
ical standpatters were demanding OF
legislative candidates that they pledge
themselves in writing never to vote
for Cumm1ns for senator. With this
situation these extreme standpatters
insist that the state may go Demo
cratic unless Cummins' gives up the
idea of going to the senate.

LANDS WILL BE OPENED.
Reservations in Northern Minnesota
Opened i'm September.

Acting Commissioner Proud1t, of
the general land office has sent in
structions to the local land Offices at
Cass Lake and at Duluth, for the
opening at q. M, September 10, of
1925 acres of land, formerly includ-
ed in the Cass Lake, the Chippewas of
Mississippi, the Fond du Lac, the
Leech Lake, the Red Lake and the
Winnibigashish reservations, says W..
W. Jermane, in Washington special
to the Minneapolis journal. Part of
these lands were classed as agricul-
tural under the terms of the Nelson
and Morris acts and part Of the lands
were formerly included in the Mime
sofa forest reservation and restored
to entry under the act of the last
session of Congress.
Al'of these lands are subject to
entry under the homestead laws, and
settlers will be required to pay $1.25
an acre in five annual installments.
Entry y-men will have to pay the us
ual fees and commissions, and those
who enter land in the former Red
Lake reservation will have to pay, in
addition, three cents an acre to cover
the cost of drainage survey made by
the government several years ago.
Lands in the Fond du Lac and the
Red Lake reservation will not be sub
iect to settlement prior to the hour of
opening, named above, and the claims
of "sooners" will not be recognized.
The Northern Pacific right-o -of-way ex-
tends over the Fond du' Lac reserva-,
tion and entries for tracts over which
it passes will be subject thereto.
Printed lists of lands to be opened
are being prepared and when ready
may be obtained from local officers at
Cass Lake and Duluth or from the GEN
eral land Office here.
An important provision to be includ-
ed in patents to be issued is one sub
jecting all those lands to a pro-rata
charge for drainage works that may
be erected by the state of Minnesota
under the terms of the Volstead law
passed at the last session. r

WOULD COMPLETELY
TIE UP The SYSTEM
Operating Employees Of Canadian
Pacific May Join Strike.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 1.-THE Cana
dian Pacific railroad is replacing some
of. its strikers in Western shops by
Japanese Several coachloads have
been brought in from the mountain
section to Swift Current and Medi-
cine Hat, while Galicians are on duty
at Moose Jaw. The Japanese are be.
ing gathered at Pacific coast towns
and they will be placed in the round
houses as wipers and to do small re-
pairs under instructions from fore
men.
The crux of the strike situation
lies in the attitude of the engineers,
firemen and conductors and the indi-
cations are that. interunion jealousies
which have spoiled previous strikes
for the men have now disappeared
and that four days hence the whole
Canadian Pacific railroad service will
be tied up by these operatives refus-
ing to take out mails on the ground
that trains have not been properly
inspected.
The demands of the striking me-
chanics are: Reduction of hours from
ten to nine; to do away with the
merit mark system used in connection
with time clocks In the works: that
maehinists be, paid on the 18th In
stead of the goth, as now; that the
company cease alleged endeavors to
disrupt the mechanical unions The
men say they are satisfied with the
present rate of wages, but hope for
better i'm the future.
