THE REQ HOUSE TROUBLE

Sheriff Harris return ed last
night from his trip t. the Red
House after Fred Hess. who is
charged with shooting up that
place last week. He and Constable
Happier arrived at the Red House
Wednesday night and found Hess.
who came out of the house and
greeted the officers as if he was
not charged with after pting to
kill three or four people. Hess had
no frozen toes, OF hands, and had
suffered no discomfort from the
intense cold. Neither had he
frequented Indian camps more
than usual nor hid out nights in
the sagebrush lodging the officers.
From what Sheriff Harri.
learned at the Red Hou Sc, the
sensational story told by the
parties who caused the arrest of
Hess should be taken with many
grains of salt. 1t appears from
the story told Sheriff Harris by
Hess and Mcconnell that the affair
was nothing more nor less than a
drunken brawl, in which all the
parties involved were pretty well
fill ed with bug juice.
Hess told the sheriff that he was
riding on the ranch when Deputy
Sheriff Bellenger came after hin
and reached the house shortly
after the officer left. Hess wa:
left at Carlin in charge of Con
stable Happier as the complaint
in the case was made before
Justice Gray.

DOBBS AND LEWIS TO
 SPEAK AT DALLAS

Two men who have delivered addresses in Birmingham in the past six months are on the programme of the big Dallas convention of the Associated Ad Clubs of America, to deliver lay sermons In Dallas churches on Sunday, May 19, the first day of the great convention.
 The two advertising writers who will be heard in churches are s. C. Dobbs of Atlanta and F.. St Elmo Lewis of De- trot. Both have addressed the local Ad Mems club at its weekly monday lunch cons at the Turnverein. and both made a strong impression on their hearers.
 The Birmingham delegation has made plans to give the Magic City the greatest advertising boost it has ever had. Plans have not been and will not be announced before they are sprung on the big con vention. They are too good, and some other less enterprsing delegation from some other city might be prone to utilize the idea
 The Ad club minstrels. which will be given at the Jefferson May and s, will help raise the funds to carry out this novel scheme of municipal advertising, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the city.

 an address to the Auburn student body
 Tuesday evening.
 That is where there are things to do; | if you have the grit for a fight there is | the place to show it and to make use of it"
 pr. Claxton's address was an appeal to the young men to do their part in bringing the south into it's own, of lift ing it from the thrall of northern and eastern and foreign capital. to make 1t dependable upon it's own resources for it's own development, and thus to deliver it from the bondage of the older sections His speech touched a responsive chord, and the students were vociferous in ther applause.
 Tt is in just such colleges as this, where men are taught to do things, that the hope of the south lies. 1t is up to you boys to place Alabama in the aristocracy of states, where she belongs by every right of inherent worth. material wealth, talent and blood
 Dr. Claxton was not complimentary in his reference to the present standing or the south as the rest of the world regards if. The south, through the best of it's resources. the cream of its taxable prop ertv and the dependence of its people on foreign industrial vigor. is slave to other sections. Get your state out of debt to foreign capital, as it is, your bonded in- terest goes out of your state; your in dustres are owned in many instances, that is. the public service industries, by foreign capital.
