"Sylacauga is one of the most pro-

on the Central of Georgia railroad"
said T. J. Matthews of that place who
was in Birmingham yesterday.
1--WE are in the midst of very fine

the farmers of this section are pro-

"Sylacauga has number of public
enterprises that help in the prosperity
of the town. Among these are the
marble quarry near town, one of the
best brick plants in the state, a good
cotton mill and other smaller indus

school Is located at Sylacauga. This is
said to be one of the best of the

GAS co. MUST PAY.
Jury Finds for Luengene for 81 1916 in
Explosion Case.

The Consumers Light, Heat & Pow
er company suffered defeat in the first
of the gas explosion cases to come to
trial when Chas. S. Luengene was
granted $1,s76 damages by a jury's
verdict.
Judge A. w. Dana's instructions to
the jury completely nullifed the COM
pany's defense. Counsel for the Con-
sumer's relied on their showing that
city water main had been laid on
their gas pipe, the great weight break
ing it. Judge Dana instructed that
even though the city had negligently
laid a lateral across the gas main, the
company'S business was to keep their
mains in a safe condition, and repre-
sentatives should have been on hand
to watch the construction of the cross
ing and that therefore, the faulty work
of the city did not lessen the liability
of the company.
This crossing was at the corner of
Seventh and Jackson streets, the point
where it was alleged the gas had es-
capped from the main and entered the
Bell telephone conduits through which
it flowed a block south to the base
ment of the Capper building where it
was exploded injuring Luengene, a
pressman
Although the defendants relied up
on their very good showing, by testi-
mony, broken pipe and photograph,
that the water main likely was the
cause OF the Dredh, the jury IN an
swering defendants questions implied
that not all the gas entering the con-
duit came from the one break. The
jury in granting the full amount asked
by Luengene apparently followed
closely the instruction of Judge Dana
that in as much as natural gas is a
highly dangerous commodity, the rule
requires that it be handled with pro-
portionate care.
The jury in it's answers indicated the
belief that the company's mains were
leaking in many places at the time of
the explosion and were in a danger
Gus condition.

ADJUSTMENTS.

her popular among Topeka theater-

first act proved an attraction for the
women.
Orval Spurrire as Jean Gaussin, play

perhaps it was the least important Of

SPEClER OF WAR.
Captain Rogers Says Japan Will Pro-
woke a Fight Before 1915,

New York, Nov. 15.-H. H Rogers,
son of the late Standard Oil financier,
whose hobby is the study of military
AFFAIRS has just returned to New York
from long trip of observation in the
army centerS of France and GermanN1
He brought home with him the un-
| pleasant prediction that Japan will
provoke war with the United States
| sometime before the Panama canal is
| opened for business. This is not only
the belief of Mr.. Rogers, but the con-
sensus OF opinion, he says, of the mil
! 1tary men whom he met during his visit
of seven months abroad.
Mr.. Rogers is a captain in the Tween
ty-second regiment of the national
guard of New York and a military
enthusiast. While abroad he talked
with officers from the lowest rank to
the highest, and found them all of the
belief Sat the United States would be
dragged into war with Japan and
that the United States would be badly
beaten in the fight.
Summing up, what he had CLEANED
abroad, Mr.. Rogers says:
They have high regard in Europe
for the strength and the clever fight
ing ability of our navy and so have
the Japanese, but they look upon our
army as a joke. The foreign military
men say it is too small to be of any
use. Japan is not anxious to get into
war with US just now, while a great
war ueDL Is hanging over nGr, DuC Sne
is MAXIM a desperate effort to pay it
off quickly and will make loans again
to carry her through a fight with US.
THE control of the Pacific is between
her and the United States and she
means to get it. Notwithstanding all
this recent peace talk in Japan, that
nation is going to strike, and striks
before the Panama canal is opened
THE United States has a good in
fantry but it is not prepared for war.
1t is my ambition TO see this country
adequately SO prepared. In the first
place we have not enough trained men
to put in the field We have not nearly
enough mobilizing stations.
There is no question that the Japa-
nese could land 100000 trained fighting
men on the Pacific coast before We
could. Unless We undertake to esta b.
fish a good big standing army quick
ly, we will be beaten in an engagement
with the Japanese. Another important
shortcoming that must not be over
looked is the fact that we are using
war tactics 200 years old.
I'VE need the Universal Military SER
vice. We should have a compulsory
service of three years for young men,"

his wife refuse to be appeased by the
woman'S statements.
Several weesk ago County Attorney
Schenck issued a warrant for Hayden
and his wife on a charge of selling in
toxicating liquor. The young people
insisted that Mrs. Walker furnished
the evidence that led to their arrest
and refuse to continue the former
friendly family relationship.
Glare to goodness, sir. 1 never did
it, honest now 1 didn't" said the wo-
man, but 1 just can't make them
children believe it,
When asked about the case Mr..
Schenck said the information leading
to the arrest of Hayden and his wife
was not furnished by Mrs. Walker. The
Haydens have given bond pending their
trial in the district court. They left
Topeka sometimes ago and refuse to
write to Mrs. Walker.

edy in their act and in parts of it they
excel. The fault to find with this
quartette is, that while they are billed
to sing and being a quartette, natur-
ally supposed to sing, but do not sing.
They rip off a little Jingle or two and
indulge in alleged comedy, but they do
not sing. 1t was a great disappoint
ment to three-fourths of the audience
who came to hear this always popular
class of music. This quartette could
sing if they only would. 1t is seldom
that quartette appears at the Novelty

everything else but sing.

Says Commissioners Not to Blame in
Crematory Matter.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Your item in last nights issue re-
garding the failure of the commission
to open the crematory, on the ground
that I am responsible for it, is entirely
wrong and is an injustice to both my
self and the rest of the commission
have never heard a word from any
member of the commission wishing to
open the plant till January 1, when we
will have money to run it, but no one
is more deeply concerned in the re-
moval of garbage than myself. 1t IS
true there is 1915 in the crematory fund

take five wagons to cover the city in

convention but Lewis and his friends
defended them with their votes and
carried the day.
