WHITAKER TRIAL
 DRAWS b|G CROWD

New Orleans, March 22.-Because of the feeling manifested against Edward S. Whitaker, lawyer and former in- spector of police, precautionary meas ures were taken by the police today to avoid any demonstration or dis turbance at the arraignment of Whit aker In the criminal district court on serious charges involving young girls. Eight girls from seven to 14 years old, are held in the House of Good Shepherd as witnesses against Whit aker.
 The former political leader and police chief of New Orleans occupies a cell in the parish prison in default of $25,- 900 bond. Six charges have been filed against him, five alleging crimes against nature and one carnal knowl- edge. His bond has been increased four times since he was arrested Sun day.
 Hundreds of persons almost fought to gain entrance to the court rooms to- day when Whitaker was arraigned in two divisions of the criminal court He plead not guilty to all the charges and was held for trial in $25 900 bail, which he could not make. Two com plaints, which had been filed in the city criminal court, were dismissed on the motion of the assistant city attorney to avoid a preliminary hearing

EIGHT MORE DAYS
 LEFT FOR SOLONS
All Are Eager to Get Home. May Finish First Week
 in April

Montgomery, March 22.-(Special.)- The legislature convened at noon today after a recess since last Friday after- noon. Beginning tomorrow the legis- lature has only eight more days in which to complete the work before the two houses. Whether or not the work will be finished is purely a matter of conjecture, though the prevalent opin- ion is that the work will not be com pleted.
 But whether or not the work is fin ished by the end of the fiftieth day it is certain that the members of the two houses will be glad of the opportunity 10 go home To many of them the ses- sion has gotten to be irksome, and they claim that they should be at home looking after their crops or else pre- pairing for the spring term of court. Many lawyers claim they should have been home weeks ago, and that the legislative delay is working a serious hardship upon them.
 When the two houses convened at noon today the members did not show any particular eagerness to take up the work before them. Most of them had been home, where, having caught the spirit of spring, the thought of return ing to Montgomery proved something of a nightmare. The members of the two houses are tired of their work and they want the legislature to adjourn at the earliest possible moment. While many of them look upon an extra ses- sIon as imperative, they hope it will be delayed until July or September.
 Many members of both houses claim that it will be impossible for them to remain in Montgomery should the extra session immedia tely follow ths present session.
 This was one of the arguments uset in favor of a split session. The farm ing element in the legislature main tained that they were needed at home to look after their crops. the lawyers declared that they should go home tC prepare for court. and the business men said they were needed at home to look after their interests
 After today there are eight more days of the present session. This will prob ably consume three weeks longer, as it will be necessary towards the enc of the session to recess for severa days in order to allow the clerks tc catch up with their work. The legisla- ture will probably adjourn some time during the first week in April, though 1t is possible that adjournment will bt taken earlier.

.R|CE'S DEATH CAUSES SCRAMBLE Walker County Fair Elects DirectOrs-Talk of the
 New Railroad

Jasper, March -(special)-R. Manly Rice, who died suddenly in Birmingham yesterday morning, was buried in a country cemetery near his home, Route 1, this morning. A large number of his friends were present to pay last trib- ute.
 MT. Rices death causes a vacancy on the board of county commissioners, which will have to be filled by appoint ment of the governor. The office is re- garded as quite a desirable one on ac- count of the responsibility. authority and compensation that goes with it. Not less than three aspirants for the succession have already appeared. Under the law the commissioner must be a resident of Beat 4, and 1t happens that none other than farmers live in that rural beat. There are no active politicians among the applicants, but plenty of good ma teral from which to select
 The Walker County Fair proposition was fairly lAlnched last Saturday when committees from the Farmers union and the Jasper Industrial club met, and with full authority from these organizations, selected a president and board of direct ors, who are to proceed with the work of thorough organization. The following constitute the board President, A. s. Preston;. directors. J. w. Powell, w. W. Milford, J. W. Sartum, J. M. Phillips, J. M. Cranford and John Kilgore It now goes without further saying that Walker county willshave fair next fall, and it will be good one, too.
 
 Reliable information has come to Jas per that we are to have another big rail- road. an air line from Pensacola, Fla, to the coal fields of Walker It is said that men. of means are behind the en- terprise, and that it isn't just talk. . but a real liveHproposition. Interesed parties and the promoters of this enter prise are expected in Jasper and at other points in Walker county within short time, and that very soon definite plans will be announced.
 A. S. Preston, secretary of the Jasper Land company, is in Pttsburg. talking over the oil proposition here. It is said that the Pennsylvanians who are boring just one mile south of the corporate linn it's of Jasper have got down about 15OO feet, and are not at all discouraged.

CLAIM REBEL ASKED
 SOLDIER ID DESERT


 Galveston, March 22.-The military and the story of a soldier attached to the camp at Fort Crockett to the effect that an agent of the Mexican revolutionary junta approached him in Galveston yes terday with a proposition to desert and join the revolution.
 When the matter was reported to brig ade headquSrters. General Mills immedi- ateiy sent his aide, Lieutenant Laurson, in the city to see the chief of police. Ac- cording to the soldiers story a swarthy man whom he took to be a Mexican stopped him on the street of the city and proposed that he join the revolution, promising him s75 and transportation to | the seat of war. The latter was to be provided, it was stated, on vessel anchored in Galveston harbor. The soldiers answer according to the sol dier, would not look well In print The chief of police put his force to work tracing the supposed agent of the revolution, but had obtained no clue to hIs identity tonight.
 There is no ship in port to which sus- picion might be attached.
 Army officers are questioning their men in an effort to ascertain whether any of them have been approached with sim liar proposition. The fact that there have been no assertions proves that none has accepted it at any rate.
 Another heavy rainfall this morning converted the camp into a sea of mud and put stop to all drilling. The rain fall was two and one-half inches, and for several hours the camp appeared to be situated in the middle of a lake The soldiers were prepared for the deluge and copiparativy little damage was suffered in the camp.

New York, March 22.-(special)-Th Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 In the main developments are still fa- vorable. Steel works and rolling mills are making larger outputs than in Feb ruary, and consumers generally are speci- flying to the maximum amounts stpu- lated in their contracts. New orders in some lines, however, are not meeting re cent expectations.
 The Great Northern has bought 10,00o tons of open hearth rails al Chicago. Lit tie railroad bridge work is pending, but the St. Paul Is in the market for it's re- quirements.
 The wire mills have been running all
 most to capacity for some weeks. 1 Merchant pipe and sheets have been | backward, but specifications are now
 picking up. l Cut nail manufacturers have advanced l prices to s1. 70 The bolt and nut meeting
 left prices unchanged. Pig iron produc- | ton is growing. But the increase is al
 most all for steel making The Steel corporation is now operating P per cent of it's pig iron capacity. Stocks at Ohio | and Western Pennsylvania furnaces, in cluding those of steel companies, de- creased 1000 tons in February and 30OO tons in the first half of March Foundry pig iron is less active. In southern iron one 25,000-ton transaction is pending in the east.

Cleveland, March 22-tSpecial 1.-The
 Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Although the recent heavy pig iron buy ing movement has temporarily subsided, reports from all of the leading eenters indicate an increased melt of foundry and steel making grades. Merchant fur naces are in receipt of urgent shipping instructions and monthly deliveries in some instances exceed contract speciica- tons.
 Pig iron stocks at steel works, furnaces, Chicago and Pittsburg districts, have been considerably reduced this month and compared with the previous increase in stocks of 75,O00 to 100000 tons monthly 1t reflects growing steel works require ments of nearly 15o,00o tons per month. The United States Steel corporation con- tinues to extend it's active furnace ca pacity, having blown in three stacks during the week, thereby increasing the total number of operating furnaces to s0 or a total of 1l9.

Free at Shady Side

The efficiency of the auto driven fire apparatus was fully demonstrated yes terday morning by the quick response to call from the residence of Judge N. w. Scott at Shadyside. The roof of the handsome dwelling was on fire and had gained considerable headway before be- ing discovered; ;l in fact, Judge Scott and his family were unaware of the blaze until informed by the motorman of the Shadyside car.
 The department made the two-mile run in few minutes and not only saved the building but extinguished the flames by means of the chemical apparatus, thus avoiding much damage by water. There is no doubt that had horses been used the fire would have been beyond control of the firemen and much greater loss would have resulted. When the fire was discovered the neighbors rushed to the assistance of the family and had removed the greater part of the furni- ture by the time the fire was subdued. The loss is about s200
 Judge Scott desires to thank his neigh bors for their prompt and ready assist ance and is loud in his praise of the promptness and efficient work of the Ems ley fire laddies.
