To the Editor of the Evening Star:

fellow who has to put in his time down
here on the Southern drill grounds, off

know what's going on at home in dear
old Newark. And what better way of
getting this information, red-hot from
the canon's mouth, as it were, than
through the STAR?

There was a time. net So very long
ago. when difference q opinion such
as the fisheries dispute between the
United States and Great Britain could
have been positively settled only by
war. 1t was disposed Of yesterday by
the International Court Of Arbitration
at The Hague. There is more mean
ing in the fact that an international
issue of long standing like this one
can be arbitrated by a neutral court
than in all of the mammoth prepara-
tions for war which the leading nations
of the world continue to make. 1t Is
impossible to conceive of an honest
grievance between two nations that
cannot be arbitrated. It Is in those
where jealousy or greed is famed by
jingoism that arbitration must fail.

The baby parade as drawing card

The baby parade as a drawing card
for summer functions is growing in
popularity. No holiday festival seems
to be complete without it. The event
has won popular support on its merits.
So much loving care and labor is spent
in preparing each family's pride and
joy as an entry for such an event that
its success is assured from the time
sufficient interest is aroused in it. The
only unfortunate feature of the baby
parade lies in the fact that there are
never enough prizes to go around. For
is there ever anyone bold enough to
intimate where he may be overheard
that any of the wee competitors are
not deserving of prizes?

wealthy young man who ran down a
carriage a few weeks ago, causing the

In New York held him without bail for

heimer's offense was made the more
despicable by the fact that he did not
stop his machine after wrecl5ing the

had been killed and two severely in
jured. There will not be a great deal

BESSEMER TO HAVE
 EXCELLENT PARK
CONTRACT FOR GRANDSTAND IS TO BE AWARDED TOMORROW-PRAC- TICE GAMES WILL BE ARRANGED FOR COMING WEEK

| Bessemer. April 2.-(Special )-The Bes- semer baseball park will be on Twelfth avenue and Twenty-sixth street. The site Is an ideal one with one exception, l it is too near the Tennessee furnace The necessary amount of money has already been raised by the club and work will be- gin on the grandstand and fence next week. Bids have been asked for and will be opened Monday. at which time the contract will be awarded. The con tract will call for 60-foot grandstand and fence that will enclose a block. The fence will be seven feet high, with part 10 feet high. The grounds will have two dressing rooms and ticket of flee. It is intended that the park this season will be the best in the city league.
 It is very probable that practice games will be played next week. Manager Bum- gardner states that he will attempt to get games with both Howard and Birming- ham colleges. Other practice games will be played before the season opens. The lineup of the team will contain many new faces and few old ones. Manager Bumgardner has much material to chose from and will have a difficult time in picking the first team. Among the candi- dates trying for the team at present are Houston, Johnston. Trotter, Clarence Bumgardner, Robert Bumgardner, Mo Emory. Lefkovits, Randle, Craig, Steel. The pitching department will be very strong this year. Greer, Tucker and Reed are 10 pitch and 1t is possible that Skes, one of the pitchers last year, will re- turn. Great interest is being shown
 in the team and when the season opens the entire city will be behind it.
 The team desires to thank those citi- zens who have responded so generously to their appeal for funds and to say that they appreciate the support. Those who have subscribed $5 or more to the team are as follows: Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, $50; J. B. Morton. s25; S. F. Grout, $25; Morton Brothers, s25: Fulton Brothers s1o; Lacey Edmundson, $10 w. E. Pegram, $20; E. A. Little, S25; Bessemer National bank, $10; Citizens bank, s10.

NEGRO MURDERER
 IS BADLY WANTED

Columbus, Ga, April 2.-(Special.) J. Probably the worst wanted negro In the southern states Is Love Randall, who murdered R. A. Stratford, the overseer of w C. Bradley's plantation at Coffin ton, Ga. recently.
 The deed was a particularly atrocious one and has aroused the keenest indigna- ton throughout this section. MT. Strat- ford was a native of Alabama, in which state he lived for many years, and was widely known through Lee and Russell counties. The rewards for the negro's capture have been steadily increasingly >ln- til they now aggregate $s0o Of this sum $2o0 Is offered by MT. Bradley, $200 by the state of Georgia and the remainder by friends and neighbors of MT. Strat- ford In Stewart county, Georgia, and also his old friends in Alabama. It Is quite unusual that such a big reward should be offered for the arrest of a ne- gro. Randall Is about 45 years old, rather black, is five feet, seven inches high and weighs about 16o pounds. Notices of the $500 reward have been sent out by w. K. Johnston of Lumpkin, Ga., sheriff of Stewart county.

Dadeville, April 2.-(Special )-The grand jury of Tallapoosa county made it's final report today and returned 20 true bills This is much smaller number than usual and speaks well for the reputation of the county for order during the past six months.

GERARD JOURNAL
 TO CHANGE HANDS

Girard, April 2.-(Special.)- 1.-The sale of the Girard Journal. which was recently made by Capt. J. P. Marchant, it's owner and1 editor. will not be effective until May ?, and this means that the paper will be a live factor down to the last day of the present political campaign. Captain Marchant is a breezy writer and has taken a very active part in politics in this section of the state. When he was oeditor of the Phenix-Girard Journal he wrote a number of rather sensational articles regarding Russell county affairs, and Judge H. T. Benton. the judge of probate, obtained judgment against him for s7000 for libel. The Phenix-Girard Journal, which was published by a stock company, then peacefully passed out of existence and soon afterward The Grard Journal appeared with Captain Marchant at the helm
 The receiver of the assets of the old Prenix-Girard Journal has been directed to sell the property and hold the pro- ceeds, awaiting the result of pending lit- igation. Certain stockholders in the com pany held a mortgage on the plant and the question to be determined is whether the mortgage shall be satisfied or the money apply on the judgment that Judge Benton has obtained

MAY EXTEND ROAD
 TO PHENIX CITY

Phenix City April 2.-(Special )- There is much interest here in the report that the Chattahoochee Valley railway is to be extended and that rhenix City may be it's southern term mus.
 This railroad, built originally by the cotton mill interests of West PClht, Ga, to carry cotton to that point rom the Lee county plantations. has expand ed from its original mission as hau.er of raw materials to common carrier or considerable importance. The road now extends from Jester, in this coun- ty, to Standing Rock on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad. The northerly extension from West Point 10 Standing Rock was built some two years ago and since this connection was made the road handles a great deal of the freight that goes into West Point and Lanett. The matter of ex- tending the road southward has been under the earnest consideration ot its owners in recent months and the lm- pression is that such an extension mas been practically decided on.
 A party of surveyors is now said to be in the field and one report has it. that the extension will be made down the Chattahooch ee river to this point, and another rumor is that the road will be built to Motts, on the Central of Georgia railway.
 No matter whether this road is eX- tended or not the fact remains that at least one railroad is already un- der construction in this county, al- though it is not a common carrier. The road referred to is being built fro.a Motts to a point on the Chattahoochee river, where the Columbus Power com pany is to build a large dam and power house, and the road Is for the pur- pose of haulAlg material and machinery to the scene of operations. The road will be some six miles long. J. w. Wright. Jr., of Union Springs, is the contractor.
