SLATON EQUAL TO
 THE EMERGENCY
Georgian Proves He Believes In Tenn
 perng Justice With Mercy

Atlanta, November 2S-(SpeciaD .-Gov- ernor John M. Slaton has proved that he believes in tempering justice with mercy. In the last week he has had two cases which called for the exercise of these two qualities, and in both instances he has shown himself equal to the emer- gency.
 The case for mercy came when the baby of Thoms Edgar Stripling died. the call for justice came in the case of O. J. O'Berry, the Camden county mur- derer
 When the baby of the noted Georgia convict was i'll, it took Governor Sla- ton but a few hours to issue orders that carried the father to the bedside. When the strongest pressure of friends and or political supporters was brought to bear upon him to secure a respite for O Berry, the governor let the law take it's course.
 In discussing the two cases on the night on which he issued the orders, which al- lowed one prisoner another day of liberty that he might be present at his babys funeral and sent the other to the gallowS, Governor Slaton said:
 q was not interested in the case of Stripling. It didn't matter 10 me for what crime he was serving a sentence. or whether he had been guilty of murder or some lesser crime. All that I knew was that his baby was ill, and his wife needed a comforter at hand. And so esteemed the call of humanity superior to all other laws for the time Justice must yield a little at times, to the call of mercy.
 'sIn the case of O'Berry, however, there was no legitimate reason for mo to in- terfere It was acknowledged, even by those who plead for him. that his deed was a most heinous one, and deserving of death. They argued that he was d degenerate and wanted trial on his sanity But on the other hand there were people in Camden county who knew the facts in the case, who were acquainu- ed with the murderer and who wired me protesting against showing any clemency
 ''It was evident from the showing made before me that he had had fair trial, and that the people of the county wanted him hanged for his guilt, mad I believe that the cry of the people should be needed in such cases. Consequently I declined to interfere"

WHERE ALAbAMA'S SCHOOL MONEY GOES
Willingham Explains How Half Million a Year
 Is Expended

Alabama is listed low from the stand point of illiteracy. And yet the state annually appropriates about s5oo,000 to- wards the cause of education.
 This s50O.000. is an annual drain, and does not include special appro- priations. II. j. Willingham, superin- tendent of education, has furnished The Age-Herald information as to how the $500. .000' is annually divided.
 Each year the University of Alabama and the Alabama Polytechnical instt- ute receive from the states strong box about s71.000. The Alabama Girls Technical institute receives an annual appropriation of ss6.O00. The Institute for Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Talla- dega receives an annual appropriation of s230 for each inmate.
 Second in the list are the state nor nal schools, located at Florence, Jack sonvllle, Troy, Livingston, Daphne and Moundvile. The schools at Florence, Jack sonville. Troy and Livingston re- ceive annually s20,o00 each. The schools at Daphne and Moundille re- ceive an annual appropriation of s1o,- o0O each.
 Third in the list are the district schools located at Jackson. Evergreen, Abbevine, Sylacagua. Wetumpka, Ham ilton, Albertville, Athens and Blounts- vile. Each of these schools receive an annual donation of s4500. The Northeast Alabama Agricultural and Industrial institute, located at Line vile, receives from the states strong box an annual appropriation of $30O0.
 There are 42 county high schools and each is given $3000 annually. Eventu- ally every county in the state will have taken advantage of the high school appropria tion, and the states appropri- ation will be proportionately increased. The county high schools are located at Prattville, Clio, Centreville, Oneonta, Oxford, Centre, Butler, Grove Hill, Ash land, Heflin, Enterprise, Leighton, Rockford, Cullman, Ozark, Plantersville Fort Payne, Eclectic, Atmore, Attalla, RussellvilIe, Hartford Columbia, Scotts- boro, Vernon, Moulton, Opelika, Fort Deposit, Notasulga, Gurley, Thomaston, Monroeville, Hartselle, Reform. Brun didge, Wedowee, Odenville, York, Lin coin, Dadeville, Jasper, Camden ana Double Springs.
 The state makes an annual appropria tion of s16,000 to the three negro schools of the state, the State Normal at Montgomery, the State Normal al Normal. and the State Normal at Tus kegee.
 For the fisca. year which began Oc | tober l, 1911, tie annual appropriation l for these schools will be S24,000.

HEBREWS ACTIVE
 AGAINST RUSSIA
Treaty. May Be Abrogated Unless
 Discrimnations Are Stopped


 That a concerted action of prominent Hebrew people throughout the United States may result in the abrogation of the treaty between the United States and Russia unless the latter country departs from it's present attitude towards ac- cepting passports held by Hebrews of this nation, is the opinion of pr. Samuel Ullman.
 As is remembered some days ago, a committee of prominent Hebrews of Bir- mingham visited Congressman Under wood and requested him to vote for the abrogation- of the treaty with Russia be- cause that country had been guilty of dis crimination against the Hebrews bearing American passports. Congressman Un- derwood agreed to do so, stating that in his opinion every man of whatever race or creed stands equal in the eyes of the law.
 In explanation of the situation pr. Ull- man said yesterday: Because of the dis crimination which the Russian govern ment has shown against the Hebrew who possesses a passport from the United States Congressman Sulzer of New York has drafted a bill to be introduced in Congress seeking to bring about the ab- rogation of the treaty between the coun- tries unless Russia agrees to abandon what seems to be it's policy. The cam. paign for votes in favor of this bill has been conducted by the Jewish committee with headquarters in New York, the ob- ject having been for committees in the various congressional districts of the Unit ed States to visit the congressman dur ing the recess, urging them to vote for the bill l understaHd that considerable success has been achieved and that the

LICENSE DELINQUENTS
 TOBE ARRESTE DTODAY
Sheriff McAoory Has Nearly 200 War
 rants to Serve On Merchants

Deputy sheriffs this morning will serve warrants of arrest upon privilege license delinquents and violators of the revenue laws. There will be nearly 200 Birming- ham and Jefferson county merchants ar rested for not paying their licenses as required by law.
 Some weeks ago over TOO notices were sent out, informing merchants that their privilege licenses for the year 1911 were overdue and must be paid immediately. Since that time 200 of them have filed legal excuses of their hon-payment of licenses, and these will not be arrested.
 At it is nearly time to collect licenses for 1912, Sherif McAdory is taking steps to get this matter cleared up.
