FAY MAY BE FREED
MEMBER OF MILLER-DUNCAN GANG IS HOPEFUL.
He Was Mere Youth When Crime Was Committed in Birmingham --GOvernOr Conner COnsid-
 erlng Application.

Birmingham, Dec.f 1o.-(Special.)--- Thomas Fay, the youngest member of the Miller Duncan e-blowerSf gang, who is serving sentence at Pratt Mines, is anxiously looking for pardon from the Governor at Christmas.
 The chief executive was asked to show clemency towards the young man some time ago but the pardon or pa role did not come.
 Fay was very young man when he was sent to the penitentiary several years ago for his participation in the robbing of the safe of the Standard. oil Company in this city. He was just out of hls teens, at the time.
 According to the testimony Fay had just taken up work with the noted gang of safe blowers. He was a fiunky. He was left at the room when Miller. Duncan, Edwards and other members including New York Harry, ard Oil Company. As will be remem- bered the gang not only robbed the safe but shot the watchman in the foot In the offiee of the oil company.
 little later two policemen accost- ed two members of the gang. supposed to be Miller and Duncan and on the way to the police station the safe policemen. The whole gang. with one or two exceptions one of the men turning states evidence, was caught and Miller and Duncan were hanged In
 The other members of the gang, in- cludlnE Fay. were sent to the peniten- tiary with terms ranging from ten to twenty-five years. Fay was a rough boy. just 21 years Of age. It was shown that he was with the famous safe blowers prior to the blowing of the safe at the Standard oil Company. The trial judge has stated that he ap- peared as a mere youth when he was sentenced.
 Fay talks of his trials at the peni- tentiary with tears in his eyes and has hopes that his case will be reviewed by the Governor and a parole given him by Christmas. He says that he has re- pented fo4 his sins and if given one more chance he will prove himself a good citizen.

 Bust and Figure.


 It Is simple but sure method of developing .the bust, arms. neck, hips and shoulders of wo- men, who through some defect of nutrition and circulation are forever being humiliated by their more fortunate sisters. First, 1t must be understood that the human skin is an. en- ormous gland. richly endowed with nerves. secreting and ex- creting organs. and a network of minute blood vessels which contain at one time over one- third of all the bl0od in the body--that Is. 1t nature is per- feet.
 The relation of the skin to the vital organs through the nervous system in controlling the blood supply is such as to put them as a team working to- ! gether.
 Get separately two ounces glycerfent, three ounces of rose- water. one ounce tincture cado- meme compound and five cents worth of borax. Mix the giy- cerine with tincture cadomene shake and let stand two hours; chen add a teaspoonfull of borax and tine rosewater Apply to the parts needing development morning and night, rubbing un- til thoroughly absorbed; then wash of with hot water and soap and dry.

our weakness is that the ocean sep
arates us from our rivals; therefore
our security on land depends upon
our supremacy on the sea. If we
have navy that can destroy any
fleet sent against us no foreign SOL
dier could land on our coasts; but If
we have a navy only large enough
for one coast and which therefore
must be sent thousands of miles from
our Atlantic shores to our Pacific
shores and then back again, we in
vite attack from any nation which
thinks it has cause for attack.
Therefore our navy must be so
great that mighty feet can be sta
toned permanently in Pacific waters
as well as on our Atlantic seaboard.
This is the basis of the American
navy for the future-a fleet for both
oceans; feet for our western coast
and a fleet for our eastern coast,
either one of which can be rein
forced by the other through the
Panama canal when that great work
shall be finished. Every sufficient
harbor on the Pacific slope should
have floating docks where our Pa
cific ships can be overhauled, and at
least two ports on the Pacific should
have great government shipyards
prepared not only to keep our Pa
cific ships in repair, but to build new
ones when needed.

War SCARE

STOCK MARKET
(By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Prices of
stocks fiuctuated wildly today and
showed unsettling and strong con-
ficting forces. On one hand was an
acute crisis developed by the eastern
war question, on the other the tonic
effect of striking upward movement
in Hill railroad stocks. 1t was notice
able that while prices recovered
readily from the opening break
caused by the Bulgarian war pros
pect, there was much more hesita-
tion in following a further recovery
over the Saturday level in sympathy
with the strength of Hill stock and
the market weakened toward the
last. Bonds were irregular.

This republic, with the untold
wealth of its resources, the unwasted
vigor of its people, the indescribable
destiny that lies before it, must build
a navy large enough to have as great
a feet permanently stationed in Pa

our Atlantic shores. Great Britain
has Channel and Mediterranean
squadron, fleet in the Pacific, an

Britain has only fraction of our

our people. Germany is fast building
a navy equal to England's; yet Ger
many has only window on the sea.
France, in actual fighting power, will
be ahead of US in single year; yet
the call of the deep is not in the
French blood and France does not
and never can aspire to naval su-

We want this navy for peace, not
