TRUST VIOLATED
YOUNG AARON ROBBED HIS BENr.
 FACTOR.
Taken From the Gutter by the knfva- fton Army, He Robbed Captain ex Fifty Dollars
 Ia Cnnh

Otis Aaron. young man arrested Friday on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. was tried yesterday afternoon in the Recorders Court ana was bound over to the grand jury on a bond of $500.
 Aaron stole $50 from the residence of Captain L. A. odom, July 15. Shortly after his arrest, he admitted that he had taken the money.
 The young man. stated Captain Cdom last night, was picked up by him "out of the gutter" several months ago. He was absolutely without resources and seemed very content to help about the house. Until recently he did his work we'll and made such an impression by hts good behavior and aparent faithfulness that the CautaIn finally allowed him to assist him in his army services.
 4 few days ago. 1t was noticed that Aaron was not living up to the teneta of the Salvation Army and when Cap- tain Odom missed $50 from his house about a week since he immediately had some suspicion that Aaron was the guilty person. Investigation disclosed several very discriminating facts in the case and he was arrested. His confession of guilt. and his trial yes- terday followed.
 "The case of thls young man." said Captain Odom last night. '1s an exam pie of one of the many difficulties with which the army has to contend. Ere auently such instances have occurred within my experience, hut because of the class of people with whom the Army deals. they are unavoidable"
 The Captain further expressed the hope that the occurrence would not b. allowed by the people to reflect upon the general honesty of the Salvation Army personnel. It was simply ease of trust violated, he declared.

Marked Improvement Shown tn Ala-
 bama and MisslssippA.
 Mobile, July 12-The lumber trade outlook in Alabama and Mississippi has shown a marked improvement dur ing the past two weeks. ard Is now assuming e very encouraging phase, according to vice-President Thoe P. Hale, of the Gulf and Ship Island Rail- road, the principal lumber carrying line in Mississippi.
 MT. Hale states that the average advance on a majority of the grades of lumber has been $1 per thousaud, and this has induced a goodly number of mills to resume operations. many of which had been closed down since last November.
 .aThe principal demand Is for bridge and railway tlmbers." said Mir. Hale, with a very fair demand for many of the common grades. Within the past two weeks Edward Hines has placed orders for about 100000 feet of No. 9 common flooring and timber used for storm coating is also much in demand.
 'sThe improvement, or course. s gradual. and 1t will require consider- able time to get back to former cofi- ditions, but the ratio of improvement and the fact that, every advance in the market is backed up by demand IS highly encouraging.
