JULIAN DEFENDS
 NEW SCRIP BOOKS Says They Will Prove Great Convenience to Travel
 ing Public

Montgomery. December 3.-(Special.)- According to Frank M. Julian, associate railroad commissioner of Alabama, the sale of scrip or penny books which will be put on by railroads on and after Jan uary ', next, will prove great con- venience to the travelling public. The book, says the commissioner, will not be saving of money.
 In an interview on the subject the com missioner said:
 "It appears that there is some misun- derstanding on the part of the travelling public relative to the penny script books to be issued during January, 1912. From the data on file with the railroad com mission I gather that this form of book will be of great convenience to the trav- cling public, but will not, of course, be saving of money.
 At present certain roads are Issuing mileage books of ? cents basis; this ? cent mileage is only good on those lines of road that have heretofore put into effect the statutory passenger rate; the roads that have resisted the statutory passenger rate have heretofore issued mileage books on a 21a cent basis, which were good on practically all lines. There fore, a man with ? cent mileage could only use the mileage on certain desig- mated roads, whereas the man with a 212 cent mileage could use same on prac- tically all lines.
 Tn order to eliminate the inconvenience that the travelling public has been put to, in the matter of buying both the ? and the 21a cent books practically all roads have agreed on the penny script books. These penny books will be sold, as 1 un- derstand it, for $20, and the books will carry face value of s25. When tickets are purchased over the lines of road that have heretofore issued and used the cent mileage, the scrip will be pulled on the basis of 2 cents per mile; when used on those lines or road that have resisted the statutory passenger rates and who have | issued the 21s cent mileage, the script can be used for purchase of tickets on the basis of 21a cents per mile. To illustrate ticket for 100 miles travel will cost or the roads using the statutory rates s. | face value of the script whereas the same ticket on those roads that are resist | ing the statutory rates will cost $250 oi l the face value of the script
 "The proposition, then, in the final an alysis is one of convenience to the travel | ing public, and not one of selling trans portation at a lower rate than is in effect 1 today"

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
 FOR PRISONERS
Elaborate Plans for Suitable Dinners in the Prisons and Camps
 of Georgia

Atlanta, December 2S-(Special. )-Every arrangement has been made to see to it that this is happy Christmas for all the wards of the cities of Georgia and of the state, whether they be confined in insti- tutions of detention, through misfortune, or through crime.
 For the convicts of the state the Men and Religion Forward Movement has olazed the way; for the city. orders have already been issued in Atlanta by the mayor, the health department, and other city departments that the inmates of the police station, the tuberculosis sanitarium. the stockade and other places have the very best dinner the city affords. and that in every way possible their confinement be frightened on Christmas.
 Particular interest is attaching these days, however, to the plans of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. All ar- engagements for making it a happy Christ mas for 7000 convicts have been com pleted.
 The prison commission of Georgia and the Sunday school superintendents all over the state have been eagerly and en-
 
 in order to make 1t a real Christmas for the men in the camps of the state
 The Sunday schools in each city and county, under the supervision of the movement, will provide Christmas stock ings, with nuts, oranges, candies, apples and the rest of things that go to make a feast for the epicure.
 To accompany the stockings there will be a copy of the gospels of John fur nished by the Men and Religion Forward Movement to the workers in all parts of Georgia.
 The cooperation of the prison commis- sion was unanimously given at a recent meeting, when the wardens of every camp in the state were instructed to prepare for delegations from the schools and to give them every courtesy while they were in the camps.
 In addition the commission instructed Chairman Davidson to provide apples oranges and other like articles of food to the inmates of the state farm and tn. state sanitarium in order that they may have the same experience the men il the regular camps, which the workers vii visit.
 The different Sunday schools will hold short services at the camps on the oc- easion of the presentation of the Bibles and the gifts, and will try to make these services especially interesting and attrac- tive to the men.
 The workers will also converse with the prisoners and will try to convince them that the people in the outside world have q real and deep interest in their welfare and are willing and anxious to help them.

CHRISTMAS AT
 THE CAPITAL QUIET

Montgomery December 23.-(Spe- cial. )-Montgomery will spend a quiet and uneventful Christmas.

 All of the municipal offices. as well as capitol offices, were closed during the afternoon of today and will re- main sealed throughout Monday. Few of the capitol officials will remain over in the city, the majority of them going to their homes in far away cities or country precincts.
 The first Christmas of the adminis- tration of Gov. Emmet O'Neal will be celebrated by that official at his man. sion in this city on South Perry street.

Basketball is the center of interest at the Birmingham Athletic club. With her chances the brightest,in years, the club is expecting ".some'' basketball team. Al though tho Birmingham Athletic club has lot of new blood, they are men of ex- perienee and skill
 With Satterdeld, Seals Wharton, Me- Gowan, Strange, Searight, G. Ritehie, R. Ritchie, Nesbitt, Moss, John Davis and Charlie Woodruff on the roster for try outs, the outlook is good for the most successful season in. years Although the club has always had some material, never before was there such an array of talent
 Rabbit Wharton, who is acting as temporary captain,s is undoubtedly a cer- tainty on this years s. team. Last year he was one of the strongest guard that the club had. This year he has not dete- riorated and looks better than ever.
 Seals will probably make the other guard. Biseoo was considered by many of the basketball followers to be the first guard in the south. He is splendid play CT and hard worker. He is one of the best floor men that the club has, and his team work has always been the source of admiration. Seals is not an individual star and considering all points, he will be one of the best men on the team.
 With the above mentioned as the prob able guards, many others will contest with them for the honor John Davis, former all-southern fullback on the Au- burn team, has located here in Birming- ham and will try out for the Birmingham Athletic club team. He is a splendid player and is in training and will try out for guard and center.
 Gilbert Ritchie. who was sub" on the team last year, is trying out for center and guard Ritchie is a splen- did basket. shooter and has been very successful in locating the goal. Gil- bert Is also a good floorman. Ritchie is boy that works for the greatest good for all concerned and does not try to star. individually.
 Nesbitt Is another contestant for the position of guard This youth is a mighty good man when it comes to sticking to the opposing forward. He has a lot of wind and is a splendid player on the defensive. He will prob ably make sub for he will hardly push Seals or Wharton out of that coveted position. From the players mentioned above 1t is obvious that the Athletics will have plenty of material from which to select two guards.
 For center, Davis, Satterfield, Strange, G. Ritchie, Moss and Thomas are the contestants. Six players are fighting for one position-and six good men at that. Davis is a tall. big man with even too much muscle and brawn He would make splendid man for that place and is well acquainted with the positions. He can jump nearly as

MRS. GARAMONNE
 |SFOUND GUILTY Italian Woman Stabbed An
 other With Knife IS GIVEN LIFE TERM Condemned Woman Feared By Ital- ians in Colorado-Murder said
 to Have Been Committed
 for Only $380

Golden, Col, December 23.-'tGuilty of murder in the first degree, with life im- prisonment," was the verdict returned to- day by the jury in the case of Mrs. An selina Garamonne, charged with killing Mrs. Maria Laguardia, August 20, 1910.
 When the case of Mrs. Angelina Cara monne charged with having murdered Mrs Maria Laguardia, August 20, 1910, was given to the jury last night there was believed there was no hope of a verdict being reached before today. One hour and half intervening from the re- tirement, report issued from the jury room. The jury was taken to a hotel for the night. The woman in her cell in Denver accepted the situation calmly. Mrs. Garamonne has long been known as the Cassie Chadwick of Little Italy, because of the many financial deals of which She was a financial promoter, and in which it is said she induced the peo- pie of her native country here to become interested. No returns on their money were ever seen by the investors. It was said that a superStitious fear of the wom- an had kept her countrymen of the 1tai- ian district here from resorting to the courts for the recovery of money they claim to nave entrusted to Mrs. ddfa- nome.
 It was the same fear, 1t is said, inspired by the belief that the woman was a necromancer, that kept the two Forgione women, who claimed to have witnessed the murder of Mrs. Laguardia, from in forming the police of the murder until after the woman finally was arrested and sent to the penitentiary for forgery.
 Mrs. Concetta Forgione and her daugh- ter, Stella, testified that Mrs. Garamonn-, through a ruse, took Mrs. Laguardia to a mine near Golden, where her husband was employed, and escorted all three women to lonely spot in the mountains, and there rushed upon Mrs. Laguardia, tore off a fascinater around her neck, and then drew butcher knife and cut her throat. Witness said Stella held the in- fant of Mrs. Garamonne in her arms at the time The woman said the murder was committed for $3SO carried by the victim

B. A. c. BASKETBALL TEAM
 ISLOOMING UP STRONG
By REUBE N A. LEWIS

l high as satterfield and is just about the
 same heighth
 satterfeld, who looks sweet to the club followers, is probably the strongest con- tender for the honor of the pivot. Sat | terf1eld is a rangy, steady. heavy lad,
 with keen foresight for openings 1n
 the line of the opposing team. He will probably be named as center, as he has shown up exceedingly well during the
 color series and in the game with Bes-
 semer. Satterfield is the best jumper of any of the contesting players, and
 this faculty will help him greatly. All
 other advantage that this boy has IS
 that he is one of the best shooters Of foul goals on the club squad Strange, who has formerly played on the Y. M. c. A. and High school lives, is
 another contestant for the position or
 center and forward. He is good man to have upon the team, for his hard work and his playing.
 Moss is trying out for center. Little "Cy Moss has demonstrated his ability in the color series, and often has he starred for his team. Thomas also shows signs of a successful player, and 1t IS thought that he will be in the race for
 center.
 Satterfeld will try for forward, and
 will play the position where he seems to be needed the most He is an aecu-
 rate passer, a skillful player and an
 artful shooter, and will probably make the team.
 Charlie Woodruff still maintains that
 he will not play, but those that know
 the old star feel confident that he will be present on the gymnasium 1loor when the whistle blows. He has been a regular on the team nearly as long as the game has been played, and IS l called an old war hoss. If he goes
 out for forward he will probably make | it, for they don't make any much better than the blond haired boy. The club followers look forward to Charlie to
 help them out and they hope he Will answer the call of duty.
 A little player who has been causing much favorable comment is McGoWan.
 Mack was a sub last year, and has | improved wonderfully. While he has
 not had much experience he is the most promising new material that the club | has. In the recent games Mack has | shown that he is fine man for the l promotion of team work, and that is what most teams lack. He is one of the quickest players that the club has and is ever keen for an opening He IS i looked upon by many to make the reg l ular forward. Searlght, who was IoffneIly oH the 1 High school team, is another promising l boy Searight, when he is right, is one of the most accurate shooters in l this sport.
 | The coaches are insisting upon more team work and will try to eliminate
 the individual starring. If the boys
 star then the team will star. That is
 the instructions that have been given
 to the players.

 somewhat weak in foul goal shooters.
 This year they have a great array of
 material, and it is thought that this i will win games. The marksmen are Satterfield, Searight, Strange and Me 1 Gowan.

SUGAR CROP MAY
 BREAK ALL RECORDS

Havana, December 2S.-That the com ing sugar crop will break all records appears now to be reasonably certain. Conservative authorities who recently accepted 1,7OO000 tons as the highest possible production, now predicted 8,5O0,000 tons, which would exceed the, record of 1910 by 25,000 tons,
 Other authorities place the estimate as high as S,175,000 tons. The increase lis attributed to the warm weather which is favorable to the growth of the cane. Indications are that the good weather will continue during the season.

Chinese Music

Fro mthe the New York Press.
 To anyone that has heard a Chinese or- chestra hard at it. it may come as sur prise to learn that there are trained mu- sicians of our own kind who seriously pro- fess uncertainty whether the Chinese have not really advanced beyond us in music.
 A distinguished authority has pointed out that the Chinese people were the first in the history of music to develop system of octaves, a circle of fifths and a lot of other harmonical technics, and these back in the days when our ancestors had not even evolved the simplest forms of melody. M A5,ff
 Whether or not we shall finally arrive at an understanding of and liking for something that shall approach the ''har- lnonious discords' of the Chinese, close observers claim to have discovered among the musicians and lovers of music a steadily increasing sensitiveness to ha-- monies the existence of which was form-. erly unknown. Gss
 Subtle harmonies of today, 1t is adds are understood, which 40 or 50 years as& even, would have been deemed incompreS hensible. At any rate tile musicians have grown bolder and bolder in doing tho things that used to be forbidden
