ALICEVILLE TEAM
 DEFEATS ACADEMY

Aliceville, January 16.-(Special.) )-The Aliceville academy and the local basket ball teams met last night in the local hall, which resulted in the defeat of the academy by score of 1S to in favor of the town boys. It was an interesting game, as each side threw goals in turn during the first half and at the end of game the score was ' to 6 in favor of the school. The second half, however. was played with snap and swiftness and the town boys succeeded in outplaying their opponents for the rest of the game. The feature of the game was the scoring of Edgar Sanders, who scored all of the points for the school except two credited to Eddie Gardner for field goal.

BANKER VOICES
 PROTEST ID JUDGE Strong Argument Is Made But
 Sentence Is Imposed
MANY OTHERS IN TOLLS
Several Officials of Bank That Suffered Through Wrongful Use of Funds Are Given Short Sentences
 In the Penitentiary.

Pittsburg, January 16.-(Special.)- "The verdict against me was not be- cause the jurymen believed I was guilty, but because they thought this banking business had gone far enough. They so expressed themselves after they left the box, and if your honor de- sires, can present affidavits to that effect
 My manner of living and rearing made it as impossible for me to com init this crime with which I am charged as it would be impossible for me to go out into the streets and com init murder. This had been instilled into me by Christian parents during all my life and the practice of the golden rule was always held up to me as an example worthy of emulation. When I say to you I have never sworn an oath, that l have never told a malicious lie, never drank liquor and never used tobacco I am telling you the truth and showing this crime was impossi- bIe for me- I do not feel that I have had a fair trial, because the court ruled out points that were in my favor-my own story"
 The foregoing was uttered by E. H. Steinman to Judge James s. Young, when asked why he should not be sen tenced.
 Judge Young then sentenced Stein man to the Western penitentiary for period of five years.
 1F hn Aetna Lumber and Supply company was convicted of aiding and abetting in the misapplying of the funds of the Mt. Pleasant Farmers and Merchants bank.
 William c. Mckee, vice president of the Farmers bank of Emlenton. and director in the First National bank of Clintonville, convicted of misapplying funds of the Clintonville bank and his brother, John M. Mckee, president of the C1lntonville bank, convicted on the same charge, were each sentenced to five years imprisonment.
 In the case of R. K. Hissem, presi dent of the Mt. Pleasant Farmers and Merchants bank. physicians were pres ent to assure the court that the physi- cal condition of MT. Hissem Is such at this time that Imprisonment in the penitentiary would seriously shorten his life. Judge Young allowed sentence to be postponed until the first Satur day in the May term of court.
 Harry s. Mckee, cashier of the First National bank of Clintonville, was not in court because of the inability of his counsel to be present and sentence will be passed on him later He pleaded guilty of abstraction of funds of the bank and making false entries

WILL ASK TRIAL
 FOR PETER HANS
District Attorney Wants Case
 Set Early In March
FINE QUESTION OF LAW
In Case of Lunacy Commission Being Called and Peter Hains Being De- clared Insane the U. s. Gov
 ernment Could Interfere.

New York, January 6.-(Special. )-The decision of Frederick De Witt, the new district attorney of Queens county to put Captain Peter c. Hains, Jr., on trial for the murder of William E. Anns was the most important development to- day in the affairs of the two brothers.
 MT. De Witt said today that he would go before the supreme court early in March and ask that the first available date be assigned. In the meantime Cap tain Hains will have to remain in the Long Island City jail.
 Eugene Young, one of the lawyers who defended Thornton Hains. said today af- ter talking to MT. De Witt:
 'If way can be found, 1t is not un- likely that we will ask the court to ap- point a commission in lunacy to examine into Captain Hains' mental condition.
 ''If such a commission should find him insane there will arise fine question of Jurisdiction. The state would probably insist on his being confined in Mattea- wan. Yet if he was insane at the time of the act and is still insane he is not a criminal and is still a member of the United States army. The federal gov ernment maintains several hospitals for sick soldiers and officers and might de- mand his custody"
 General and Mrs. Peter c. Hains, Sr, accompanied by Thornton, visited the cap tain at the Queens county jail today The captain did not say word as he entered the ante-room, but threw his arms about his mother. She held him close for several minutes while the old general sank into a chair and covered his face with his hands.
 After the interview the general and his wife returned to the Hotel Astor to pre- pare for their return to Washington. Thornton Hains told the reporters today that there was something he did not think he could forgive Prosecutor Darrin.
 "When he asked me those questions about Claudia-if I had ever made im- proper proposals to her-I felt like jump ing outSo my chair at MT. Darrin."

New Orleans, January 16.-(Special.) Seven layers accepted bets from the 2O00 eager and wager hungry patrons at the opening of the Suburban Jockey club winter meeting today in Jefferson parish, across the Mississippi river from New Orleans.

HEAVY DEATH LIST
 IN RAILROAD WRECK
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)


 Engineer Olson applied the air and emergency brakes, closed the throttle and at the same time yelled to his fireman to jump. The engine crews of the freight engines jumped and in less than five seconds the two trains came together with a roar that could be heard for miles.
 Terrific Impact.
 The impact of the two trains was such that the three big engines were damned together until they resembled one piece of mechanism, while the tightly-built combination baggage and express cars and the smoker and day coaches telescoped one another, now ing down the passengers in their seats Eight men and women were decapitated as though a cleaver had been used
 The heavy Pullmans at the rear of the train crushed what remained of the cars. Only one person in the day coach Alice Williams, aged 4, escaped alive. She was found pinned beneath the wreckage by the trainmen, slight ly bruised and covered with the life blood from the body of her mother, who was instantly killed. The child's father is supposed to have been Charles B. Williams of Des Moines, Ia., who was instantly killed
 There Is neither telegraph or tel ephone station at Dotsero and mes sengers with news of the disaster had to be sent on foot to Shoshone and Gypsum, six and eight miles away from where it was telegraphed to Den yer. Relief trains were hurriedly made up and a score of physicians and nurses were hastily picked up along the line. It was several hours before any of these trains reached the scene of the wreck and before the work of rescuing the | living and dead from the wreckage could be begun.

INJURED TO POVERTY AND TOLL.
Natives Of shantuno Province Live
Lives Of Wretchedness.

OF Shantung province. China, a cor
respondent writes: "A little more
than generation ago one of the
greatest famines in the memory Of
man spread devastation in the great
over-populated sections OF the west Of
this province and now famine faces
the stoical toilers OF the land once
again The Shantungese illustrate
well the law of the survival of the
fittest, for such dire poverty only per-
mits the strong ones to live, with the
result that we find sturdy men of great
endurance all over this province. Liv-
ing on the land, which barely produces
a sufficiency for Shantung's teeming
millions, the people have become
hardy, for they are hardened to all
kinds of prlvations. Their brains are
deadened by ceaseless toll and this
may account for the reputed backward
ness of this province in progress along
commercial and industrial lines. A
less long-suffering people would have
revolution every year. 1t is an
axiom with westerners that discon-
tent is an absolute condition of prog.
ress, and we who live among the
Chinese know there can hardly be a
race in the world so contented as they
are, considering their lot This is one
of the factors which makes the regen-
GRAFTON of China such an enormous
problem"
