The entire load took effect in the right groin tearing a large hole in the flesh. No arrests have been made In connection with the shooting.

Return With Prisoner.

Detectives Patten and John Wrenn were recalled to Calera this morning and returned this afternoon, bringing with them another Welch. Another horse was also recovered. It Is the opinion of the local officers that the find of this gang is one of the most important captures in some time by the local officers. The gang it is claimed is organized and has been do- ing systematic stealing all the way be- tween here and Montgomery, not only stealing horses but everything possi- ble. Much property has been recovered and as the detectives have some clues which they think are very important 1t is confidently expected that still lsrger recovery of stolen goods will be made.

Amusements We'll Patronized.


 The Woodmen of the World have realized quite a nice sum from the three benefit performances at the New Bijou, the crowds being unusually heavy. All the theatres have done ex- ceptionally heavy business all through the season and the managers express themselves as highly satisfied with the reults of sthe summers work. It oft en causes remark by strangers to see the amusement places crowded night after night and sch eme is foot to have a car line out at West Lake next summer. It Is thought that such venture would prove highly remuner- ative as crowds go out every night as it Is, and more would go with the proper facilities for transportation. The Airdome closed tonight in deference to the Methodist revival.

Saving the lnfants.

Saving the Infants. ~
Saving the children of the poor from
neglect. disease and death Is not alone
humanitarian undertaking. 1t is an
economical gain for the nation. The
congress of mothers. the investigat tions
and suggestions of medical specialists,
social workers and educators h&ve
aroused hearty interest in a direction
where it would be thought at first
blush methods of relief and preten-
ton had long been scoring results.
Perhaps the alarm recently manifested
in every civilized country at the ap-
palling mortality among infants In
spires the new movement, which Is
undeniably aiming at the root Of this
evil. f
A conference on the prevention, Of
infant mortality is scheduled to abe
held next November in New Haven.
The American Academy Of Medicine
Is behind the call for the conference,
but the discussion will not be limited
to medical men. Philanthropists, char.
ity workers. sanitarians. educators and
others have been, assigned to the sev-
eral secttons to present to the confer
ence data as to conditions and experi-
ments bearing upon the general sub.
ject Of the prevention of infant NOR
tality. The saving Of the infants u
only another phase Of the war against

Criminal Fire Risks.

The recent avoidance Of holocaust
at the burning of the Catholic asylum
at Rockaway Park, N. Y, by narrow
margin calls attention to the absolute
need Of better fire protection in most
institutions of refuge throughout the
country. Within an area less than
three acres. or three city blocks, in
extent were "bunched" an asylum. a
rest and a sanitarium, all for children.
Fortunately the fire broke out early
in the evening before the children and
their guardians had retired. And yet,
owing to the inefficient facilities for
fighting fire, the inmates were rescued
all but seven-with difficulty.
Twenty-four hours before the fire
there was high land breeze blowing.
and had the flames burst out then all
three institutions must have been de-
stroyed. along with perhaps thou
sand lives. Volunteer participants in
the rescue state that the conditions for
fighting the fire were nothing short Of
criminal. There are frequent fires in
institutions where people are housed
because of their inability. physically
or otherwise. to take care Of them
selves. Fire fighting is generally de-
signed to save property. If it fails
nothing but property is lost. Fire
fighting to save lives Of helpless ones
should never fail for lack Of facilities,
including a well trained force.
