S13O,OOO IS ANNUAL COST ID ALABAMA OF FEEDING PRISONERS Major German Suggests a Plan by Which State
 Can Save S85,OO0 STATE SHOULD PAY
 ONLY FELONY CASES Feeding 5000 Prisoners in Mobile Costs $12,OOO and Feeding $500
 in Jefferson Costs $2s,OO0.
 Gives the Reason
 
Deductions From Interview


 For feeding prisoners the state pays annually $130,000.
 The appropriation for 1912 was exhausted before the con c1usion of the fiscal year.
 The expense of feeding pris- oners increases annually
 The state pays the feed bills for prisoners charged with all crimes and reaps a small re- turn only from those convicted of felonies.
 As 95 per cent of defendants are insolvent. the feed bill is a practical loss in it's entirety.
 Feeding 5000 prisoners in Mo bile county cost state in 1912 s12,000; feeding 5500 in Jeffer- son cost $2S,000. M
 The difference in the above figures is due to the fact that more of Jefferson's prisoners are charged with felonies and remain longer in jail.

First Theft of Aeroplane

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The first case of stealing an aeroplane occurred the other day at the Puehem Aerodrome at Munich, When the pilot, Belat, arrived in the morning he found that some one had broken into his han gar and that the monoplane was missing. On inquiry he found that several per- sons in the neighborhood had heard the noise of a motor about o'clock in the morning. Apparently some enterprising pilot had flown away with the machine. In the suburbs of Munich policemen were kept busy scanning the horizon in search of the flyer. Up to the present the ma chine has not been recovered.

Why the Difference

Jefferson county, with about one tenth of the population of the state, receives nearly one-fourth of the amount paid for feeding prisoners. This is caused by the fact that prisoners charged with feionies as a rule. are required to make larger bonds and remain in jail longer
 "As a remedy for the present law for feeding prisoners by which the state could save sS5,O00 annually l would suggest an amendment to the law requiring the state to pay for feed ing prisoners charged with felonies, from which alone 1t derives any bene- fit.
 State Would Save
 with this amendment not only would the state save sS5.000 annually hut the counties would save at least half of this amount if these feed bills had to be allowed by the commissions er's courts and board of revenue.
 There are thou-ands of petty, friy : olous prosecutions by deputy sheriffs that would not occur if the counties had to pay the feed bills.
 However, when the state has to pay the feed bills for these frivolous mis-. demeanors there is no provision and it costs the taxpayers thousands of dollars annually.
 This is a matter that deserves care full legislative consideration. Refers to Amendment
 "As the new constitutional amend n,ent has been adopted to substitute the salary system for the fee sys- tenn in Jefferson county, the method of feeding prisoners in Jefferson will also have to be changed and this will give the next legislature an opportunity to ir.vestigate the present method of feed ing prisoners in tine state and make amendments to the present law that can save the state thousands of dol lars"

A rear-end collision in the Louisville and Nashville railroad yards in New Decatur ditched two locomotives and tore up number of freight cars. A number of the freight cars caught on fire and burned up entirely.
 The wreck was caused by double header freight from the south running into another freight standing on the track. The wreck was due to heavy fog and the engineer could not see the train on the siding. No one was hurt.
