WIRELESS CALLS
 SENT FOR HELP

Portsmouth, October 23.-Officials of the wireless station here were notified to- night of the picking up by the revenue cutter Acushnet of a call for help com ing apparently from the tank steamer Oklahoma. The Acushnet, after trying in vain to estab blish a connection with the ship calling for help. notified New port and from here word was sent to Nantucket Shoals lightship and other points asking that they pick up the Okla homa. No reports have as yet been re- ceived frem any station getting into conl- munication with the steamer.
 As the Oklahoma was reported off Hat teras last Friday bound south, 1t Is now thought probable that the message picked up by the Acushnet came from some other vessel If the call was a genuine one.

ANDREW CARNEGIE
 BACK FROM EUROPE

New York, October 3.-Andrew Car negie leaned heavily on the arm of his secretary as he walked down the gang way of the White Star liner Baltic, in today from Liverpool.
 He did not relinquish his hold on the supporting arm until he had entered a carriage to be driven to his Fifth ave- nue mansion and in walking the length of the pier to the elevator he displayed signs of fatigue.
 MT. Carnegie declared, however, that he felt well and had enjoyed the voyage immensely. He was relieved of the te- diousness of the customs routine by leav- ing his baggage on the pier for inspec- ton, Mrs Carnegie and daughter.

WAR WITH JAPAN
 4 IS PREDICTED

New York, November 15.-H. H. Rogers, son of the late Standard Oil financier, whose hobby is the study of military af- fairs, has just returned to New York from a long trip of observation in the army centers of France and Germany. He brought home with him the unpleas- ant prediction that Japan will provoke a war with the United States some time before the Panama canal is opened for business. This is not only the belief of MT. Rogers, but the concensus of opin- ion, he says, of the military mep whom he met during his visit of seven months abroad. MT. Rogers is a captain in the Twenty-second regiment of the National Guard of New York and a military en- thusiast. While abroad he talked with officers from the lowest ranks to the highest and found them all of the belief that the United States would be dragged Into a war with Japan by Japan and that the United States would be badly beaten in the fight. "They have a high regard in Europe for the strength and the clever fighting ability of our navy and so have the Japanese, but they look upon our army as a joke"

FIVE MEN ESCAPE
 HUNTSVILLE JAIL

Huntsville, November 15.-(Special.)- J. Two separate parties of prisoners, com- posed of two negroes and three whites escaped from the Madison county jail at different times last midnight. The whites are Will Nunnally, charged with violating a labor contract; Jim West brooks, under sentence for assault; J. H. Hodge, a federal prisoner charged with moonshining. The negroes are Alex Sweeney who was arrested last week for burglary and grand larceny, and Henry Donaldson, charged with obtain ing goods under false pretenses.
 The negroes obtained a saw that was sent to them in a loaf of lightbread and sawed their way out of their cell into the hall that leads to the hospital. The white men sawed out of third-story window, made a rope of bed ticking and lowered themselves to the street, 50 feet from an electric light.
 The fact that the men escaped on the same night is regarded as a mere coinci- dent as 1t would have been impossible for them to have communicated with each other Rewards have been offered by hSeriff Mitchell for the recapture of the escaped prisoners.

NEW MINING LAWS WILLSOON BE READY
PROMINENT OPERATORS ARE TO MEET IN NEXT FEW DAYS TO PASS UPON PROPOSED LAWS WHICH HAVE BEEN DRAFTED

It was announced yesterday that the legislative committee of the Alabama Coal Operators association will be called together within a few days to pass upon the transcript of the new mining laws which will be introduced at the next ses- sion of the legislature with view of further protecting the miners of Ala bama.
 The new laws have been drafted and reported upon. They were compiled after the committee studied laws of similar character throughout the industrial dis tricts of this country. The laws are held to be the most drastic that have ever been framed and their passage by the legislature will very likely revolutionlze the mining of coal in this district.
 It is provided in the laws to increase the force of inspectors. secure rigid ex- aminations as to mine officials and to strengthen in every manner the methods of operating which are now considered inefficient to meet the emergencies con. stantly arising on the fast developments taking place here as to coal mining.
 The committee having in hand this work represents some of the largest and most important companies in this district. They have passed upon the outline of the proposed laws. It is, therefore, consid- cred emprobable that any objections will be raised to the laws when they are placed before the lawmakers for pas sage.
 In order to dispatch the passage of the proposed enactments 1t is stated that when the lawmakers meet in January large delegation of the most prominent mine operators in the state will appear before them and endeavor to have the law passed without delay.

PLAIN TRUTHS FOR
 NEWSPAPER MEN

New York, November 15.-One hundred and forty-seven advertising and news paper men and department and clothing store heads and proprietors attended the 10th dinner of the Sphinx club at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight, the occasion being newspaper mems night.
 William R. Hotchkiss, president of the club, was toastmaster. Among the speakers were N. c. Wright, editorial director of the Cleveland Leader and the Toledo Blabe. whose subject was "The Editor and His Responsibility to His Readers and James Schermerhorn. pub fisher of the Detroit Times, on the Pub fishers Accountability to His Readers" "
 Mir. Wright said that one of the grave defects of modern journalism lies in the unhappy fact that too many of our edi- tors either take themselves too seriously or do not take their duties and their re- sponsibilities to the whole people serious ly enough. No honest newspaper is safe when the executive head of either of the departments dominates the other.
 "In the absence of an ever present centralization of authority in an &C., tive proprietorship no newspaper can give the assured integrity and effectiveness with an editor who musses up the bus iress office or a business manager who ccmmercializes the news and editorial columns.
 'Advertising Is news, and with the wo- men it is the biggest kind of news; but the news columns are sacred. They are open to absolutely nothing but the facts. v
 MT. Schermerhorn said in part:
 s'Let us have the plain unvarnished truth If our liberties are iplperiled pub Lcity forewarns. If there is a let-down fin social and political righteousness, pub licity prods us into doing something about it. There is no economic progress in concealment.
