HIGH SCHOOL COMMISSION DIFFERS
 COMPLETING WORK.
stress of other OfHcial Lnbors Upon Members Requires Postpenement of Remainder of Task--
 Sites Announced.

The High School Commission, after having been in sessions of two weeks adjourned yesterday afternoon early. naming Russellville for the location of the High School of Franklin County as it's final act. It is probable that the Commission will not get together in formal session again until June
 The sites selected yesterday were at the following places in the counties named. the costs of the buildings oe- ing given also:
 Thomaston, Marengo County build- ing to cost not less than $1o,0oo.
 Butler. Choctaw County building 10 coet not less than sf0.0o0.
 Hartford Geneva County, building 70 cost not less than $15,00O.
 Hartselle. Morgan County. building 10 cost not less than $10.0OO.
 Tn addition to the cost of the build ing in each instance. the vlctorlous towns and cities agree to give at least i've acres of land and for mainten- ance of the High School amounts vary ing from S1 ,000 to $2,000 annually Tor given terms of years, which are in ad- dition to the States annual appropria- ton of S2,000 to each county. The latter goes only to the payment of teachers salaries.
 With the selection of the five High School sites yesterday, the Commission disposed of more than 50 per cent of ti.e total number of counties eligible for the institutions. Excluding the several counties that this year at least cannot qualify for the schools, there were in the beginning forty-five coun- ties awaiting the decision of the Com mission. In groups. one by one, the Commission set about the task last week and this week. of selecting the sites, until now twenty-four of the To- cations have been accomplished. Thls leaves now twenty-one awaiting de- cisions.
 Tine counties of Greene and Butler have as yet not submitted any appli- cations for high schools to the Com" mission.
 The continuance of the hearings on other counties was made by the Com- mission on account of the anticipated absence of the Governor from Mont ~omery for several days to come. He left last night for Birmingham. where he has gone on oficial business Thence he win go to Washington. D. C., next week in order to be with President Roosevelt and the Governors of other States and territories at the confer ence called by the President to dis- cuss the conservation of national re- sources.
 when the Governor returns from Washington it will then be about time to begin his tour of college commence ments. Prior to this. however. and mixed in with the commencements, other appointments await his atten- ton.
 one of the warmest fights remain ing for arbitration of the High School Commission is that between Tuskegee and Notasuiga for the Macon County School The Commission has had the county under consideration for several 7ays but deferred action thereon.

CONVICTED
NEGRO PENSION ATTORNEY GUILTY
 OF FRAUD.
Jordan Has Been Many Times Charged With Pension Frauds, But Had Escaped COnIctiOn Until
 Yesterday.

Jep Jordan, a negro pension lawyer, of Montgomery County. was convicted in the United States Court yesterday CT violati the pension laws. Judge Jones deferred passing sentence until this morning, and Jordan, as a conse- uuence. spent the night in the Mont Eomery County jail. The maximum penalty which the court can impose Is imprisonnent in the penitentlary for three years and fine of $l,OOO.
 It is said that Jordan has been tried In the Federal Court at least nrty times for violations of the pension laws. but in each case was acquitted either on A technicallty or through failure of the Government to establish its case against the defendant. The conviction yesterday was very gratifying to the District Attorney and his assistants, who have labored hard on the case. Wallace Streeter of the law depart ment of the Pension Bureau at Wash in9ton. has been assisting the pitrict Attorney in the gathering of. evidence and in the general prosecution.
 If was brought out by the Govern ment that Jordan swindled an old negro woman, Violet Riley, of GreenvilIe, Ala, out of several hundred dollars, representing himself as Government ension agent. It was alleged that he informed the old negress that he could l obtain a pension TOT ner ana aAso TOT an uncle of hers provided she paid him the fees in advance. A pension of s2 900 was guaranteed for every $fo0 paid to him as fees. The old woman decided that she would obtain pen sion of g, 900 for herself and a pension of S2 900 for her uncle also. so accord inely paid over to Jordan $2Q0.
 The case. as developed in Judge Jones charge to the jury. hinged upon a technical point, and was, whether | Jordan in approaching the woman on the subject of obtaining pensions for her. represented himself as a Govern ment pension agent. or whether he merely represented himself as a pension attorney. The Government contended l that Jordan represented himself as the | former, but the defendants counsel tried to prove that he represented him. self merely as a pension attorney and, therefore, under the Federal statute was not guilty as charged in the in- | dictment.
 There were several counts in the in- dictment and the jury returned a yer dict of guilty on three of these counts

 While Jesus was with his disciples he bore the brunt of persecution. It was not necessary to pain and terrify His disciples by a full exhibition of what they were to suffer.

THIRD MYSTERY AT GAINESVILLE
Woman Is Found Dead with Her
Throat Cut frnm Ear tn Ear.

Woman Is Found Dead with Her
Throat Cut from Ear to Ear.
Mrs. Martha Anderson was found dead
in GAINESVILLE with her throat cut from
ear to ear. Mrs. Anderson was found in
a rooming house lying on cot, her head
hanging over the side. A police officer
was summoned by other roomers in the
house. Chief of police Appleby found
clews which he says undoubtedly point to
suicide in the case. A search of the wOm-
ans room revealed what little change she
had, as well as her gold watch, slowed
away in an old trunk, the key of which
was found under the pillow. The blood
stained razor was washed, and the daugh-
ter said that the instrument belonged to
her mother. Former Sheriff Maltpress
from Edgerton said that a few years ago
he took Mrs. Anderson to the State hos
pital for the insane at Madison, where she
remained for three years. When she was
released it was against the wishes of her
relatives, who feared she would take her
own life. Mrs. Anderson has acted
strangely for the last year, and lived
alone in one room. She often remarked
that ''life was not worth the battle.''

Superior Proposes to Insure Free
Public Use.
With the steel corporation asking Con-
gress for permission to build a bridge
across the St Louis river and with local
people framing a bill asking for another
bridge to be used by the 500 road, SUI
periOr is beginning to take notice that
there will soon be something doing in the
railroad line. Bridge matters are always
watched closely there and it is safe to
say unless there is assurance both bridges
will be free to the public and for street
cars, there will be difficulty in getting the
measures through Congress. The steel
corporation bridge is far up the river and
connects the property owned by the COM
pany in the two cities. The cOmpany's
belt line, to circle from the iron range
connections around south of Superior and
ending at the terminals in the east end
of the city will use this bridge. The SOo's
bridge is further down stream and is for
freight purposes. giving the 500 an out
let from the coming industrial center of
Duluth to its proposed yards on the Su-
perior side of the bay.

Health and Beauty Hints.

The habit of putting Il baby ON its
back to stare at a white parasol in
its carriage is frightful.
"Dilated heart is only one conse-
quence of rushing at exercise when
the muscles and the body generally
are fahby and feeble after a winters

1t is not difficult to select a blood

lowed Among the foods recommended
are UNDERGONE meats, beef blood and
raw beef sandwiches.

The prevalence of granulated lids
among children at the public schools
shows how the eyes are neglected at

Tn the Home.

An open fire is certainly a happy
feature in it.
Chairs that can be sat upon are a
more necessary essential than some
housewives think.
In the living room there must be a
softly shaded light placed low for read

Readable books and magazines lying
around loose are one Of the important
things.
Stilted "suits" Of furniture are a
good thing to avoid; also loud papers
and highly colored pictures.
A carpet that can be walked on by
the family is much better than one
preserved for the sacred feet of strang-
