CRUSADE IS BEGUN
 AGAINST OFFICERS
Montgomery Business Men to Investigate Charges
 Against Policemen

Montgomery, August 27.-(Special)-ln- vestigation of charges that Montgomery policemen and deputy sheriffs have failed to do their duty was started by the Busi- ness Mems league Monday evening when secret conference between members of the organization and the city commission was held.
 Newspaper men were barred From the meeting, and no result of the conference was made public. It is understood the po- lice department was severely criticised and that certain deputy sherffs came Tn for discussion as to their fitness for the posi- tions they hold. Newspaper men gath cred at the meeting but were asked to withdraw by Vice President F. U. Salter. who served as chairman of the meeting in the absence of President E. J. Meyer.
 The investigation was ordered by the Business Mems league last week, and a special committee was appointed to deter mine whether or not a general inquiry into the police department would be or dered. City commissioners have pledged their support to any investigation cit izens care to make, and they say that the final result will be satisfactory.
 Several days ago Commissioner of Jus tice C. P. Mcintyre announced that sev- eral policemen would be discharged for neglect of duty.

 PARK COMMISSION Boston Landscape Architect
 Arrived Yesterday GOING OVER PLANS Another Conference Will Be Held This Morning in the Office of
 Chairman John L.
GOING OVER PLANS

For the purpose of conferring with members of the park commission relative to the park scheme for this city, George H. Miller, the well known Boston land scape architect. arrived in Birmingham yesterday He conferred with the com mission informally yesterday morning. Another meeting will be held this morn- ing in the office of John l.. Raul, chair man,
 The visit of MT. Miller to Birmingham following closely upon the recent visit of George Kessler of Kansas City, lends considerable interest to the park commis- sion action, inasmuch as the commission will choose between two such widely known park experts to handle the situa- ton here. MT. Miller, as is generally known, has been engaged in work here from time to time and is well known to members of the park commission. He designed Corey, and is now engaged in some work for the Raul Lumber company at Tuscaloosa. He has already mapped out a plan for Birmingham which has been submitted to the park commission informally. It is understood that Mir. Miller will not make any great changes in the plan heretofore submitted
 The indications in Mr Miller's plans were that the proposed civic center for Birmingham would be on the south side Of the city, about the bottom of Twentieth street hill. However, the contemplation of civic center has not progressed far enough to expect any definite results at this time. In addition 10 that locality Capitol park and Smiths park have both been suggested as proper civic center point.
 The commission will doubtless have some tangible work under way during the early part of the fall.

WANT SEPARATION OF COMMON
 CARRIERS ON LAND AND WATER

David S. Gordon. president of Leland Stanford University, discussed, The Case Against War" and declared that the greatest loss to a nation from war was not the unreturning brave,' but those who might have been but never were
 Dr. Gordon said in part:
 international peace means mutual trust. The four thousand mile line which sepa- rate Canada from the United states Is all undefended boundary, which for nearly a hundred years has not known fortress nor a warship nor gun. There is noth- ing of which the two great north Ameri- can nations have a greater right to pc proud than this boundary of trust and confidence"
 Dr. Gordon reviewed the history or wars and the money lenders who made them possible and said that without war taxes each man could have his house free, were the money to be used in such fashion. The annual expenditure of the world on armies and navies in these times of peace, he said, passes $i,00o,000 every year
 Almost the whole story of the rise of the cost of living is told in the story of the rise of taxes for war debt and. war armament" he said.

The pro- eession terminated at noon and at once disbanded into hundred or more crowds addressed by women on soap boxes A feature of the parade had been the soap boxes carried by many of the marchers. When the march ended these boxes were distributed to every corner of the bus mess section.

NEGRO AFRAID ID 60
 BACK ID MISSISSIPPI
Smile Wanted in Butler Said to Be Charged
 With Murder

Montgomery, August 27.-(Special)- Is Sam Smile, the Butler county ne- gro, who is in the Montgomery county jail here, charged with an offense com mitted in Butler county. the same ne- gro who is wanted in Mississippi for the murder of an official of the law This is the question that is puzzling both Montgomery county and state of fcials. According to information re- ceived from Mississippi, Smile answers to the description of the negro who killed an officer in. that state some time ago, and for whom reward of 5000 is offered.
 On the other hand, Smile claims that he has never been in Mississippi, and has written to the governors of flee an urgent appeal that he be al- lowed to remain in the Montgomery county jail The negro says he fears mob violence If he is taken to 'Mssis- sippi, and asks that the governor re- fuse to grant requisition papers for his return.
 Smile is held in the Montgomery coun- ty jail at the direction of Butler county authorities. He is charged with a minor offense in Butler, and he will probably be taken back to that county to stand trial Should it he shown that he is the negro wanted in Mississippi, he will doubtless be turned over to the authorities of that state. It is understood that they will make a requisition for his return to Mis- sissippi. and 1t is probable that Smile will have to furnish large mass of proof before establishing his innocence of the Mississippi crime for which he is charged In his letter to the governor, tine negro
 
 he knows nothing of the Mississippi kill ing, and that he has never been In that state He fears he will be lynched, he says, If he is taken back, and he begs the governor to allow him 10 remain in this state.

Himself by two immutable or un- changeable things-IIis word and His oath.
 Nothing in Gods promise bound Him to give John the Baptist a place in the Bride class. The Apostle Peter declares that God foreknew this class. predestnat- ed 1t as a class, but not as individuals, from before the foundation of the world; and He is now making a selection accord ing to principles. to determine who may be of this class. He gave no opportun- ity to John the Baptist to be of this class, but in His providence permitted him to die when he had accomplished the work specially intended for him. Nore can be of this Bride class who died prior to Pentecost, for there the Holy Spirit of adoption and begetting was first given, and without this none could occupy the plane of sons; those under Moses and of his House were servants.

SCHOOL LANDS BRING THE STATE S3O,OOO
Tracts in MarengO and Jack son Net Snug Sum for
 State Treasury

Montgomery August 27-(Special.)-As a result of the activity of State Land Agent w J Martin in recovering six teenth section school lands in Alabama. two large tracts have been sold during the past few weeks which brought the state in the neighborhood of S30,0Jo. One of these tracts was in Marengo county, which sold for $16250. and the ather was in Jackson county, which brought Sl3,5oo. With the exception of small sum used for advertising purposes, all Of this money was turned into the state treasury.
 The recovery of sixteenth section school lands is now receiving the cooperation Of large number of citizens in Alabama according to Mr. Martin. While this in- terest is not at this time as general as the state land agent would like to see it. he believes that 1t is only matter of time before the majority of the peo- pie in Alabama will give thoic support to the movement to reclaim all lands ii- legally held
 In his efforts to recover these lands, Mir Martin has the support and co-opera- tion of Superintendent of Education Hen ry J. Willngham, who frequently con- fers with the land agent with reference to certain tracts of land supposed to be held without legal patent.
 The reclamation of these lands is now engaging much of the attention of the state land agent and Superintendent Wilingham, and the movement is creat- ing a spirit of widespread interest throughout the state. MT. Martin be- lieves that the work of his department will hereafter be much simpliiied owing to the efforts of the people of the state to see these lands restored. and he an ticipates that many thousands of dol lars will be added to the treasury during the next few months from the sale of hose sixteenth section lands

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
 ,torlr ,,i 14oQ-Sept

"Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee crown of life Rev elation Ii, 10.
 Today's study includes the tragedy connected with John the Baptists death. King Herod had put away his own wife, and was living lawfully with the wife of his brother Philip-Herod- ias-a vain woman apparently and without conscience, who for ambitions sake, had dared everything that she might occupy the place of a queen John the Baptist, a fearless teacher, in his preaching had referred to the fact that King Herod was living in viola tion of the divine law, and that this was likely also to bring upon the peo- ple a war, for his wife whom he had put away was the daughter of King Aretas.
 Uerodias heard of Johns teaching, and was both angry and fearful-angry that he should dare to speak so of her relationship to the King-fearful, lest the words of this eloquent man, which greatly moved the masses, might alien fate her from the King. Had Herod put her away, dS Nouiu ii"'S pSSh hi' duty. she would have been disgraced woman. for the Herods were well known in Rome and elsewhere. So she was ready to do murder or any thing that would divert such calam- ity.
 Herod feared John and feared the people who believed John to be a prophet, but Herodias feared neither God nor man. However, in deference to Herodias' wish Herod had John ar rested for his temerity. Even then Herod liked to hear John talk. al- though he still kept him prisoner All the more Herodias feared the infu- ence of John. The Kings birthday came. and she encouraged him to make | 1t a festival and to ask to the banquet | his principal friends. In the midst of the carousal she dressed her own | daughter in the airy costume of the ] dancing girls of the east, and sent her 1 in to dance before the King and his | friends
 l So great a condescension implied that | the King should make some return. He asked the girl what he should give her
 promising anything that she would ask even to the half of his kingdom. True
