QUIT THE SULTAN'S NAVY.
Capt. Ledbetter, American Naval
Officer, Had Thrilling Experiences.

Special Cablegram 10 The star
BERLIN. August l6.-Capt Ledhet-
ter, formerly an American naval officer,
but who for the past two years has been
in the service of the sultan as an eX-
pert photographer and general adviser in
naval affairs, has arrived in Berlin. He
has retired from the Turkish service
and is going to London to meet Buck
ram Pasha. who has been associated
with him in the task of keeping the
sultan's warships in moderate state of
repair.
During his service with the sultan Capt.
Ledbetter had several thrilling expert
enees while trying to pilot Abdul Hamld :
vessels through the Mediterranean and
keep them afloat all the way. Once he
narrowly escaped drowning because the
only other officer aboard who knew how
to work the pumps was seasick.
Capt. Ledbetter takes grave view of
the general situation in Turkey. He be
lieves that the increasingly aggressive
spirit of the Young Turk leaders is reach
ing a point where even the strong hand
of the European powers may not he able
to restrain them.

Butcher Is Requested to Send Change for $2, and the Money Dis
 appears.

Short change artists and flimflammers made themselves evident in Birmingham last night and while only one successful case of fiimfiamming was noted the po- lice received report of several cases where attempts at short changing were made and the artists were evidently busy
 Early In the night Tanner Bros. butch CTS. reported case the like of which was perpetrated quite freely several months ago. Someone called the meat market by telephone and ordered 50 cents worth of meat and asked that change for g bill be sent out by the delivery boy. This was done, and when the boy delivered the meat the money was secured from him and a pretense was made that the bili had been left in the house. When the fiimfiammer disappeared to go after tho S2 bill no more was seen of him, and he carried the meat and change with him.
 It was also reported that a short-change artist was practiejng his schemes on tho moving picture theatres One ticket seller was too apt at his business, and change him he reported the matter to the police. At this particular picture theatre the fimhamoer failed in his scheme, but whether or not he succeeded elsewhere could not be learned. The offender of the law was not captured.

CONCERT FCR CHILDREN

Birmingham has had several music fes- 4 and with the Damrosch orchestra of New York, as the central attraction will be on more extensive scale than even the artistic triumphs of Benjamin Guck- enberger, who directed four spring fes- tivals during his residence here There will be chorus numbers, but no large choral works in full will be undertaken: but the festival will be on a large scale. inasmuch as the number of concerts given will be five instead of two as under MT. Guckenberger's management when the Chicago orchestra was one of the at fractions. Mir. Damrosch will bring with him solo quartet of distinguished sing CTS, including Reed Miller.
 The festival will be held in the Hippo drome which is said to have seating capacity of about 250O w. J. Hon is the local manager of the festival and he re- ports that two of the boxes for the sea- son have been sold and that many citi- zens have subscribed for season tickets
 Damrosch comes to Birmingham with out any guarantee. but Mr. Hon says that the enthusiastic interest in the fes- tfval already in evidence indicates the financial success of the venture
 In addition to two afternoon and three night concerts, MT. Damrosch will give an orchestral performance on the after noon of May 8 complimentary to the pupils of the upper grades of the various schools.
 MT. Damrosch enjoys the reputation of being one of the few great conductors in this country and as an interpreter of Wagners music he is said to stand easily at the head. On his southern tour his orchestra will number 50 men and for his entire party he will have to pay 57 rail- road fares.

Three More Jurors Are Secured
 Out of the venire
CHARGES AGAINST TWO MEN
One of the Veniremen Called Is Said to Have Abused the Officer and Judge Hart Win Give Him
 Special Attention.

Nashville. January 25.-When the sec ond venire of 800 talesmen was ex- hausted today, without the completion of the jury to try Colonel Cooper Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for the slay ing of former Senator E. w. Carmack. Jurge Hart announced that he would de- vote tomorrow to the hearing of charges against Jurors Leigh and Jackson. Mean time, he drew another venire of 800 names and the sheriff is summoning them for service at a. m. Friday.
 Just before court adjourned this aft ernoon the state filed charges against Juror Fl. c. Jackson, claiming that he was incompetent because he was an habitual drunkard. The state has been trying since last week to get hearing on the charges against Juror J. s. Leigh and its wit nesses were summoned to appear tomor- row when both cases will be gone into
 There are now nine men in the box with charges against two of them. The failure of counsel to complete the jury from the first thousands talesmen, together with the fact that the number already se- lected may be reduced by the court makes it extremely improbable that the 12 men will be sworn in before some time next week.
 G. w. Kiber one of the veniremen called today, Is under orders to report back to Judge Hart for investigation of his alleged conduct while being sum- moned Saturday last. Deputy Sheriff O. l.. Grimes, who summoned Kiber charges that the latter was caught up with only after chase and that he used language abusive of both the officer and Judge Hart, asserting in addition that he had money to pay any fines that might be assessed against him The deputy's allegations go on to say that Kiber said, among other things, that the court might be damned. When Kiber' s name was called today Judge Hart order ed him to remain in court for "attention" later. Deputy Grimes was absent on &C., count of Illness and the case awaftse his recovery.
