CASES FILING UP
 ON HAY NEGRO
Parties Keep Appearing and Claiming Negro Stole
 Their Valuables

Cases keep billing up on the negro Sam Hay, who was recently arrested by City Detectives Jones and Gates, ano charged with burglary and grand lar ceny.
 The officers found s225 watch be- longing to Frank M. Ellis of Norwood Then they found a number of gems lr the lining of his trousers. After that they found a number of watches and chains in his house at Corey
 Every day since he was arrested parties have been coming to the sleuths asking to see the negro and most of them identify him as the negro who robbed them.
 Ex- Chief of Police Weir told good joke on himself about this same negro, t1e said that he had discovered the negro in his house and went to look for his gun and found that the negro had if. The detectives have arrested ne- gro who bought the gun from Hay.
 Miss Phillips, daughter of w. l. Phil lips. 1920 Jefferson avenue, Ensley Highlands, identified him as the negro who stole jewelry case from her. John M. Martin, 1S19 Avenue E, Ensley. stated that Hay got suit of clothes and deputy sheriff's badge from him. w. A. Bergen, 1911 Avenue E, Ensley, has charged him with stealing a watch, a suit of clothes and lot of keys from him. w. F. Martin, 1727 Fourteenth avenue, north, reported that he had lost a $50 watch and the watch was found with the bunch discovered in Hays house.
 Mrs. vaught, Avenue II and Thirtieth street. telephoned Detective Gates yes terday afternoon that she believes that Hay was the negro who broke into her house and stole a savings bank filled with little change. She made an ap- pointment to go to the county jail this morning to identify him.
 Detective Gates states that he thinks that he will be able to have the negro identified as the one who pawned the diamond brooch, valued at $500, belong ing to Eugene Enslen, president of the Jefferson County Savings bank. He pawned it for about $25.
 The officers remark upon the singu- lar coincidence of the arrest of Hay and the ceasing of the numerous bur- slaries all over the city. They believe that he had no pals or confederates ot any kind.
 The detectives are of the opinion that he has committed many other robberies ill the city. Hay is five feet, six inches high; weighs 13O pounds. has q very dark brown skin and his face looks as # he has had smallpox.

DARDEN BELIEVES
 IN MIR. UNDERWOOD
Also States That He Does Not Be- Iieve Extra Session of Legisla-
 ture. Is Necessary Now

George w. Darden, who represents Blount county in the lower house ot the legislature, while in Birmingham yesterday stated that he did not believe that an extra session would be neces- sary, and that he believes oscar W Underwood stands an excellent chance Of securing the democratic nomination for the presidency.
 sorhe only reason that some have had for their belief that it would he necessary for Governor O'Neal to call an extra session of the legislature was the fact that the treasury has been at a low ebb for some time. However. the report of the treasurer printed in The Age Herald yesterday indicates that while there is little money in the strong box, there is some. And the fact that the tax money is rolling in rapidly removes, in my opinion, the possibility of an extra session for the next several months at any rate
 'Of course, do not venture predic- tion that an extra session will not be held, but I do not think that it win be necessary to hold one for some tine yet Other contingencies might arse making an extra session necessary"
 Mir Darden, whose county is in the congressional district of Congressman Underwood, is warm in his praise of that gentleman. A A s
 1T believe he said, that Mr., Un- derwood is one of the strongest men in the country today, and that he stands high in the regard of the great business interests of the country. Bus mess desires to see in power a man who is strong and conservative, and MT. Underwood certainly fills that bill. It would surprise me very little wera he to receive the nomination. His chance is equally as good, believe, as that of either Wilson or Harmon

SAVING WAGES

B. Agnes H. Downing in Chicago
Daily Socialist
The old-fashioned string of la
borers with shovels and wheelbar-
rows is now. being replaced by var
ious mechanical Devices" says the
Literary Digest. And it adds: "All
purely mechanical labor seems DOOM
ed to surrender sooner or later to
the machine. What is wanted" it
says. "are devices that do not draw
wages
And we are told not only of new
equipment that makes unskilled
work unnecessary, but also of "re-
arrangement Of machinery. or of de-
partments. OF of work in process. 3"
that saves the wages. For example,
in a box factory in Chicago the rip
saws are placed near the cross-cut
saws. and the men that formerly
wheeled the plank from the first to
the second saws have been dispensed
with.
In some places belt conveyors.
with power from the machines, move
material from one machine to anoth-
er. In other places, gravitation
furnishes the power. and chute, or
sometimes a spiral chute, forms the
conveyance. Often by means of con-
venient. thoughtful arrangements or
devices. The employers install the
improvements and discharge the
workers as fast as they can. 1t
shortens the pay roll. 1t increases
the profits. 1t is good business
for the employers.
AS for the men, they will continue
to be discharged and their children
ground to profits until they organize
and demand that the improvements
which they make be utilized to short
EN- their hours, and help their child
rem. instead of piling up useless pro-
fits for the schemer whose only skill
is in Fleeing them.

For the cliff is all right if you're
careful. they said
And if folks even slip and are
dropping,
1t isn't the slipping that hurts
them so much
AS the shock down below-when
they're stopping"
So day after day. as these mishaps
occurred,
Quick forth would these rescuers
sally,
TO pick up the victims who fell off
the cliff
With their ambulance down in the
valley
marvel to me
That people give far more at
tention
To repairing results than to stopp-
ing the cause,
When they'd much better aim at
prevention.
Let us stop at it's source all this mis-
chief" cried he,
Come. neighbors and friends, let
us rally:
If the cliff we will fence we might
almost dispense
With the ambulance down in the
valley"
"Oh, he's a fanatic the others re-
joined;
Dispense with the ambulance?
Never:
He'd dispense with all charities.
too if he could;
No. no. Well support them for
ever!
Aren't we picking folk up just as
fast as they fall?
And shall this man dictate to us?
Shall he?
Why should people of sense stop to
put up fence
While their ambulance works in
the valley?
But sensible few, who are practi-
cal, too,
Will not bear with such nonsence
much longer: s.
They believe that prevention is bet
ter than cure,
And their party will soon be the
stronger
Encourage them, then. with your
purse, voice and pen
And (while other philanthropists
daily ar
They will scorn all pretence and put
stout fence
On the cliff that hangs over the
valley. ha
Better guide we'll the young than
reclaim them when old.
For the voice Of true wisdom is
calling:
"To rescue the fallen is good but
IT'S best
To prevent other people from
falling"
Better close up the source of tempt
tatiOn and crime
Than deliver from dungeon or
galley;
Better put a strong fence round the
top of the cliff,
Than an ambulance down in the
valley!

The Fence or the Ambulance.

The Fence or the Ambulance.
IT was dangerous cliff. as they
freely confessed,
Though to walk near its crest was
so pleasant;
But over its terrible edge there had
slipped
A duke and full many a peasant;
So the people said something would
have to be done.
But their projects did not at all
tally.
Some said, Put fence around the
edge of the cliff;
Some, IAN ambulance down in the
valley"
But the cry for the ambulance car
ried the day.
For it spread through the neigh
boring city;
A fence may be useful or not. it is
true,
But each heart became brimful of
pity
For those who slipped over that
ia dangerous cliff;
And the jewellers in highway and
alley
Gave pounds or gave pence. not to
put up fence.
But an ambulance down in the
valley
