 Detectives have been on his trail from time to time for two or three years past, and they believe that he has been impli. cated in many jobs that have been done by the yeggmen over the southern states.

ADLER CONVICTED
 IN BANKING CASE

New Orleans, January 19.-(Special.) ) William Adler, former president of the
 defunct State National bank of this noon in the United States circuit court
 of misappropriation of funds of the
 bank in 1907. Adler was first tried
 by Judge Boardman in May. 1909, and
 convicted. but his case was reversed
 by the court of appeals. United States
 Judge William l. Grubb of Birming
 ham presided in the second trial,
 which began 10 days ago.
 After deliberating about three hours,
 the jury filed iato court at 5S5 D.
 m. and announced its verdict of guilty
 No. 2622; not guilty on count 3, and
 guilty on counts 1 to g inclusive of
 case 2730. The defendant was repre-
 sented by a brilliant array of counsel and the case was followed with much interest.
 Sentence will probably be imposed tomorrow, and a second appeal will doubtless be made.
 Judge Grubb has made a favorable impression during his brief stay. At the conclusion of the trial the de fendant thanked him for his fairness and consideration.
 This was the second time the former banker had been placed on trial for this offense At the first trial, more than year ago, he was likewise found guilty and was sentenced to serve a term of six years in the federal peni- tentiary at Atlanta. The verdict was reversed as to many counts by the United States circuit court of appeals and a new trial was granted. Following the decision of the ap- pellate court, another indictment was returned against Adler and 1t was on this and certain counts in the previous indictment that he faced the jury which returned verdict of guilty this afternoon.
 A motion for new trial was made by counsel for the defendant and Ad- Ter was released under the existing bond of $40.Oo0.
 It was charged that Adler. with in- tent to injure and defraud the bank. permitted local firm. where he was a member, to overdraw it's account for more than $10O.O0O, and that he over drew his own account to the extent of about $20.000. The offenses are alleged to have been committed In 1907. In December of that year and short time. before the failure of the State National bank, Adler chartered a steamer. loaded 1t with merchandi and set sail for Central America The vessel was wrecked off the coast of Honduras. but the banker and the crew succeeded in reaching Belize. After re- l maining for nearly a year in Honduras and Nicara qua. where he had mining Adler returned to New Or.
 leans and surrendered.

PROVIDE CUSTODIAN
 FOR STATE CAPITOL
Believed That State Could Save Much Money By Having Handy Man
 for Odd JObs

Montgomery. January 19.--(Special) ) In line with the states policy of re- trenchment, and hasing their claims on the old adage that "a stitch in time saves nine," capitol officials are ad- vocating little beginning in order to have big ending. One of the most recent suggestions Is that the appoint ment of a custodian at the capitol to relieve the governors secretary of that task would result in goodto the state and serve the purpose of saving many dollars for the commonwealth.
 The custodian idea has not been fully worked out. but the proposition so far advanced is to have the cus- todian look after all repair work on the building and grounds in order to save carpenters bills and Vuch incl dental expenses. In all probability q bill to this effect will be introduced in the present legislature.

When The
 Stomach Stops
4 Working Properly, Because There Is Wind in Ii, Use Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets to Set 1t Going Again
Al Trial Package Free

The doctors call it flatulency, but un- professional folks know 1t as wind on the stomach" and a most distressing state of things it is. It is serious condition of this great motor organ. Always annoying and painful in the sextreme at times often leading to bad and fatal results. The stomach em- barrassed and hampered with wind, cannot take care of it's food properly and indigestion follows, and this has a train too appalling to enumerate. The entire system Is implcated-made an active or passive factor in this trouble and life soon becomes a questionable boon.
 All this Is explained in doctor books. how undigested food causes gases by fermentation and fermentation in which aprocess some essential fluids are de- stroyed--burnt up-wasted by chemical action, followed by defective nutrition and the distribution through the ali- mentary tract of chemically wrong ele- ments and as consequence the stom- ach and entire system is starved. Plenty of food, you see, but spoilt in preparation and worse than worthless. A deranged stomach is the epitome Of evil; nothing too bad to emanate from it, but the gas it generates is probably it's worst primary effect and the only way to do away with this
 
 pepsia Tablets go to the root of this trouble. They attack the gas-making foods and render them harmless. Fla atulency or wind on the stomach simply cannot exist where these powerful and wonderworking little tablets are in evil dence.
 They were made for this very pur- pose to attack gas making foods and convert them into proper nutriment. This is their province and office.

 The order comes at a time when il on Monday and it will be almost inn possible to take the prisoners back and forth as they are wanted for trial. Probate Judge l.. L. Herzberg and Sher- if John Lister have decided to go to Montgomery and make an effort to have the order temporarily revoked by laying the existing conditions be- fore the governor and the jail in- spector. The new board of county commissioners is proceeding as rapid ly as possible with the preliminaries for providing a new county prison and it is thought that if the matter Is fully understood by the officials that a little more time will be given before the foregoing order is enforced.
