JEWISH PASSPORTS
Interest Aroused in Action of the
 Alabama Legislature

Montgomery, June 22.-(Special.)- During the session of the last legisla- ture through the suggestion of Rabbi B. C. Ehronreich and Morris M. Wolff, a joint resolution was introduced by M. H. Screws in the senate, and A. D. Pitts in. the house, asking the Congress of the United States to "abrogate the treaty with Russia" unless the latter country would recognize passports of Jews who were citizens of the United States.
 These resolutions were adopted and have attracted the attention or the American Jewish committee in New York
 A few days ago MT. Wolff received letter from the New York committee asking for a copy of these resolutions and the following letter was received yesterday:
 we beg to thank you for your let ter of the 17th inst. enclosing copies of the resolution passed by the Ala bama legislature on the passport ques- tion.
 "As we desire to make note of this in the American Jewish year book, the manuscript for which Is prepared in this office and which is about to go to press, may we put you to the ad- ditional trouble of having us informed of the date of final passage of the resolution? Assuring you of our appreciation or your courtesy in this important matter I beg to remain, Yours very truly,

SENT TO MINES
Two Brothers Convicted of Assault
 Near Valhermoosa Springs

Decatur, June &.-(Special )-Yesterday morning Delza and Clint Lang, two broth CTS, were taken to Flat Top mines, near Birmingham, to commepce sentence of ten years. The two brothers were con- victed in the courts here about one year ago on the charge of having crim- inally assaulted a young white woman near their home a short distance from Valhermoosa Springs, this county. A few days ago the supreme court of the state affirmed the decision of the lower court.I
 At the time of the commission of the crime the case attracted wide atten- tion. Q The Lang brothers fled in a boat on the river and after a most exciting chase by deputies the Langs made good their escape on the river and for some time no trace could be learned of them. Later they were arrested in Chattanooga by the police there and delivered over to the officers here.

 Natural Affinity
 There is a natural affinity between these two flags because If 1t were not for this Italian flag America would not have been and I do not ask that you love your Italian flag less but the American, the standard of your adopted country more. Christopher Columbus, an Italian, discovered this glorious land and 1t is a natural consequence to see the red, white and blue blend with the red. white and green. There Is not man within the radius of my voice who would not fight to his last breath If Old Glory should be trampled In the dust before his eyes.
 Let me impress upon you the neces- sity of morality toward the maintain ing of a good government and quote W. H. Taft, President of these United States, in reference to these senti- ments.
 'I hope and pray that we will be able to carry our flags and live our lives as worthy citizens from now on better than before in commemoration of this memorable day.
 The Italian flag was then adorned with the red, white and green insignia of the society and the sponsors, bear ing the banners entered their machine.

STRAWBERRIES IN TUSCALOOSA
Vanderputte HassInterested Large Number of People
 in the Industry

Cullman, June 22-(Special. )--Henry M. Vanderputte and J. D. Searcy have just returned from an extended trip to Tus- caloosa county, where they have been for the past several days for the pur- pose of interesting a number of farm CTS in that section in the culture and growth of strawberries. It was the pur- pose of Mir Vanderputte, who is an ex- perienced strawberry and truck man, to select some farm in that county and to interest its owner in planting fifty to sixty acres of berries as an expert ment. A farm known as the Hull plan tation, consisting of 10o5 acres, sixty miles south of Tuscaloosa, was selected, as suitable place to make the expert ment The farm is owned by two broth CTS and one sister, and Is one of those ante-bellum plantations, of which the acreage has never been cut down.
 MT. vanderputte and MT. searcy came back very enthusiastic over the outlook for the introduction of berries and other truck farming as being the coming in- dustry among the farmers of that sec- tion. It Is quite probable that stocS company will be formed consisting of the owners of this magnificent planta- tion and few of the other most thrifty farmers of that section to carry the project through. Should the trial prove successful, which 1t no doubt will, &C., cording to the statements of both MT. Searcy and MT. Vanderputte, the culture of berries and other small truck farm ing will be engaged in on a larger scare and many of. the farmers of that sec tion have consented to enter the busi- ness, and MT. Vanderputte will possibly organize shippers association to dis pose of the products.
 MT. Searcy, who is very much en- unused over farming, pronounces thss sec tion of country to be an ideal home for the farmer, and says the land is very rich and the possibilities are unlimited, and predicts "a great future for the farmers who enter the berry businses

Bilbro at the end of the trial of the case of Billingsly against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad company, suit for damages in which Denson was repre- .on that in his thirty years on the bench he had never observed as discourteous conduct as that of the attorney in this case.
