 to StatiStician

The ginners of the state must mak' their reports to me promptly, as required by law" said Col Ed NJ. Ragland, state cotton statistician last night. If they ds not I am going to rigidly enforce the law and give them a whole lot of trouble They have been very lax about doins this lately and no amount of persuasion can induce them to do their duty. Now I am going to make them.
 ''The Alabama code provides that whera the ginners fail to report to the cottoI statistician it is the duy of the solicitol to bring it to the attention of the grand jury
 Mr. Ragland was in Birmingham las night on his way home from MontgomerJ to Sheffield, where he has been living fol many years. Colonel Ragland was apI nointed cotton statistician by Governoj .O'Nea1 to succeed w H. Seymour o| Montgomery.

SIR HERBERT TREE
 IS IN VAUDEVILLE

London, January 15.-The theatrical world here is surprised and excited by the determination of Sir Herbert Tree to be- gin a music hall engagement on January 2l, when he will play The Man. Who Was" a dramatization of Rudyard Kip ling's story.
 Sir Herbert Tree will be the first titled actor to appear on the variety stage. and it is said that his colleagues. Sir George Alexander and Sir John Hare, regard the new departure as beneath the dignity or T member of the nobility. Moreover. Sir llerpert Tree is chairman of the The atrical Managers association. which here tofore has opposed the competition of the variety halls with the legitimate theatre. He. in fact, led the movement
 Sir Herbert Tree justified his change oi opinion by the recent action of Lord Chamberlain in legalizing the production of sketches at the variety halls
 It is freely predicted that Sir Herbert Trees colleagues will show their resent merit at his action by deposing him from the chairmanship of the Theatrical Man agers' association.

Store in Birmingham

Keiser was in charge of the Baltimore jobbing house, located on Twentyssecond street, between Second and Third avenues
 It is alleged that when he opened busi- ness here under the name of the Balti- more jobbng house. keiser purchased goods to the extent of $75,000 consisting of general merchandise. He was given, it is claimed, 90 days time in which to pay for them and during that time sold the goods for about 30 per cent of their wholesale cost to local merchants and man in Tuscaloosa named Sol Blonheim.
 When he did not come Up with the pay n'ents, the New York and Boston cloth ing firms who had sold him the goods sent men to Birmingham to make inves- legations of the matter and found only $70O worth of goods left They proceeded to throw Keiser in bankruptcy, and to seize the remainder of the goods. Isl- dore Shapiro was appointed receiver of the bankrupt stock
 A Leo Oberdorfer, counsel for Keiser stated last night that the bankruptcy pro ceedings in Birmingham would be with out effect MT. Keiser was adjudged d bankrupt in the Baltimore courts on Jan uary 2" said MT. Oberdorfer, "and, of course, those courts will have prior juris- dlction in his,case.
 "tfhe charge of embezzlement made here is not well founded, because a man cannot embezzle his own property. Keiser bought the goods in question on time and when he failed to make payment was ad- judged a bankrupt ip Baltimore. The goods which he dispoAed of were his be- cause he had bought them, although it is true he had bought them on credit. The bankruptcy court is the only proper court to settle his affairs"
 When the matter was reported to the Birmingham police the case was referred to Detectives Cole and Goldstein, who have been working on it since. They finally located Keiser in Baltimore, and wired the police there to place him under arrest.
 Warrants have been sworn out, it is said. by the New York and Baltimore people who caused the investigation. Gov ernor O'Neal has been requested to for ward requisition papers and Detective Goldstein may leave Wednesday night for Baltimore to bring the man back to Bir- mnsham.
 Detective Godstein stated yesterday aft ernoon that he and Detective Cole had lo- cated approximately s25,O0O worth of the goods of which Keiser is alleged to have disuosec

BAD SEASON FOR
 FLORIDA ORANGES
California Fruit Slightly Frozen,
 However, Says H. E. Shropshire, " Local Fruit Dealer

This has been an unusual season for Florida oranges said H. E. Shropshire. a local fruit dealer yesterday afternoon. "The early bloom was very light and the oranges maturing from November to December 20, did not color well be- cause of the warm nights and unprece- dented rains. On account of these condi- tions the fruit was not attractive in ap- pearance and decayed rapidly
 Tt is estimated 25 to 30 per cent. of the entire crop is stll on the trees and the June oranges-so-called from the month of blossoming. are now maturing. They are sweet juicy, well colored fine faV- ored and will carry well.
 ''The freeze in California Christmas S night has damaged the oranges-to what extent it is hard to tell, as our California friends manage to keep their own coun- sell It is certain, however that d great deal of fruit touched by frost will be of fered for sale. Therefore the lucious Florida orange will come into it's own and will monopolize the market as long as it lasts"
 Mir. Shropshire went on to say that when oranges are frozen or are even touched by frost, they do not rot but become light. all of the juice leaving the fruit and going back into the tree again. This leaves nothing but the pith left in the orange and 1t is the light. worthless oranges that will be sent on the market. The Sante Fe railroad has refused to transport a great deal of fruit for the western growers on account of the recent cold weather damaging so much of it. It is against the pure food law to place frost damaged fruit on the market and this is the reason the railroad will not carry 1t, it is claimed.

TELECRAMS SIGNED
 PING" INTRODUCED
Contain Code System for Giving Instructions About
 Dynamiting

Indianapolis, January 15.-Telegrams and letters signed Ping" and purport- ing to contain a code system for giving instructions about viaducts, bridges and buildings that were to be blown up, were read before the federal grand jury today in connection with Ortie Me- ManigaTs confession as to who was inl- plcated with him in the dynamite con- spiracy.
 This signature, according to McMan igal was not that of the McNamaras, but was used by another person whom he named. In June, 1910, at Cincinnati, McManigal said, in response to q tele- gram from Ping" he went to Cleve- land and there blew mp viaduct for which he received s125 paid him later bv "Png" in Toledo. It was because of his belief that Ping was receiv- ing s2000 for each job and was giving him only S125, that McManigal says he refused to work with him and later ar ranged through John McNamara, sec retary treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, to do jobs with the aid of James B. McNamara.
 The feature of the investigation hav- ing to do with the movement of mon who McManiGal says. accompanied him 10 various cities, received an impetus bv the issuance of subpoenas for new witnesses today. The witnesses were ordered called after oscar LaWler, spe- cial assistant 10 the attorney general, arrived from Washington and confer red with United States Attorney Chas. - Miller, who is conducting the in
 the indictments against w. l. t.55ff.s the detective and James Hosick,
 ial officer from Los Angeles, Cal,
 ng them with Kidnapping John ].
 Aarnara last April, were dismissed by the county criminal court today. This action resulted from the action of the federal court which last week released Burns from answering to the indiet- ment on the ground that the detectives in taking McNamara to California had acted legally.
