OF STEEL TRUST
PRESIDENT OF ALABAMA STATE
CONVICT BOARD BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Wher the
Stanley committee resumed it's inves-
tlgation into the United States Steel
Corporation today, ]. D. Oakley, pres
Ident of the Alabama state convict
board, testified that $50 state convicts
had usually been utilized by the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company, a SUBJ
sidiary of the steel corporation, but
this year, in the absence of a con-
tract, the convicts had been turned
over to a coal company.
Officers of the steel company pro-
tested against this and George Cor
don Crawford, the president, said that
eventually the company had intended
to replace convict labor with free la
Dor, but such a move would take
time, and it was necessary to procure
congicts for 1917.
He declared the company should
have been given an opportunity to bid
for the convicts before they were
turned over to another concern, adding
that the company had intended to bid
higher rates than before.
Mr.. Oakley replied that the Tennes-
see company was too late in taking
up the negotiations.
When convicts are leased out"
asked Chairman Stanley, "are they
disciplined by their employers?"
"The men who make the contract
frequently hire their own warden and
guards" Mr. Oakley replied. "But the
convicts are always subject to the ju-
risdiction of the state.'
Misdemeanor prisoners are subject
to hard labor. If man is fined and
does not pay it, he works out his fine
as a convict laborer, said the wit
ness. "If a man is given less than
a two-year sentence in Alabama Mr..
Oakley declared, "he becomes a coun-
ty, instead of state convict, no mat
ter what the offense.'
D. A. Reed, attorney for the Steel
Corporation, read an agreement from
President Crawford of the Tennessee
commpany, stating that at the expira-
ton of 1912, the company proposed
to get rid of all convict labor. At
the present time, he said, the company
had only 1S0 convicts employed.
In response to the subpoena served
on him at Jekyl island Monday last,
Mr.. Hill appeared before the commit
tee when it resumed its hearings this
morning, but was excused until later
in the day.

OGLETHORPE To
Be MANAGED by
A., B. "a. AGAIN
r. H. MANSER WILL TAKE CHARGE
THIS WEEK AS RESIDENT
MANAGER.
Will Not Go to New York as Previ-
.ously Announced, But Will Remain
in Brunswick and Manage the Big
Hostelry.

The Oglethorpe hotel, which for the
past year or two has been under the
management of the American Hotel
Resort company, will, within the next
lew days, again be managed by it's
owners, the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad company, with R.
II. Manser as resident manager.
This was the announcement made
yesterday, and while it was not stated
definitely when the change would take
place, it was stated that it would, in
all probability, be before the end of
the present week; in fact notice was
yesterday served on the lessees by
the railroad company to surrender
their lease within five days.
The Ggletnorpe was leased to this
hotel company few years ago for a
number of years, under various con-
ditions. 1t is understood that various
contracts in the lease have been vio-
lated by the lessees, and that the rail-
road company has the right to ask for
the surrender of the lease.
1t was announced some TINA ago
that Mr.. Manser, who has been ter
minal agent of the A, B. & A.. for a
number Of years, had rendered his
resignation and would leave for New
York on March /, and his many friends
in the city will be glad to learn that
the change to be made at the Ogle-
thorpe will keep him as a citizen. Mr..
Manser was seen by a News reporter
yesterday and when questioned as to
the reported change in the Oglethorpe
he confirmed the rumor and said he
would assume the management Of the
hotel within few days.
When the Oglethorpe was first pur-
chased by the railroad it was operated
by The owners and for some time Mr..
Manser acted as manager, though he
did not devote all of his time to the
business, filling at the same time the
position of terminal agent. He made
quite success at the hotel, but retired
when the hostelry was leased to the
Philadelphia concern. 1t is understood
that he will now devote practically
all Of his time to the operation of
the hotel, and it is useless to say that
he will be successful
W. c. Mckenzie, WHO has been the
local manager for the past few years,
at is understood, will leave in few
days and will take the management
of another hotel being operated by the
American Hotel Resort company.

self trimmings are among the newest

taffetas are cut up into narrow frills
for finishing of collars and cuffs, they
are made into plaitlngs put on with
middle stitching, they are coquetted
into toy-like bows for bodice fronts,
shlrred over cords, made into putfs,
etc. From the quaintest old fashion
books, in fact, Ideas are taken for the
new trimmings, and, since the old no.

handmade ones, any decking which

is smarter than any other.
All of the supple silks and satins are

POVERTY DROVE TO. THEFT
Recent Case Of Baron Won BeehlnIe
Reveals Perjury In tho Public ssrV-
Ice Of Austria.

A Vienna jury has just acquitted
Baron Joseph Won Bechinio In spite Of
his confession Of embezzlement. The
trial gave sad insight into the PEN
ury existing In the lower ranks Of the
civil service.
The baron, who belongs to an old
but decayed family, entered the postal
service and married when receiving
only Is. Sd. day. His pay ultimately
rose to G3 week, but the greater
part OF 1t was pledged In paying OF
the debts he had been forced to incur
earlier In order to keep his wife and
family.
He confessed in court how one day
when he had nothing to give his four
children to eat, he forged an entry In
q savings bank book, and once having
given way to temptation, repeated thi
till he had embezzled ego, always
hoping that relatives would help him
to repay.
The acquittal, for which there were
no grounds but sentiment, Is some
what criticised in the Vienna press,
the newspapers pointing out that 1t
forms a dangerous precedent, there
being SO many impecunious members
Of the nobility in the public service,
and that this particular baron had
brought his poverty on himself by his
improvident marriage.

Old Clock Of St. Giles.

All loyal Scotsmen will learn with
regret that the well-known clock on
st. Giles tower In Edinburgh, which
must have told the time to Scott and
Burns, is doomed to disappear APP
parently q workman fell through the
case and damaged the mechanism so
badly that the civic authorities do not
consider the WORKOUT works worth re-
pair. SO the old clock will be ban
ished by the city museum and re.
placed by an invisible timeplece. with.
out hands or face, which will merely
strike the hours and leave the aes-
thetic effect OF the tower unspoied.
The ancient clock Of st. Giles has seen
two centuries Of service, but is q
mere giddy youth compared with some
Of the medieval horologes on English
cathedrals. There are clocks that
date from the fourteenth century at
Exeter, Wells and Peterborough.

BARREL CART QUITE USEFUL
One Shown in the Illustration May Be
Arranged to Fit Receptacles Of
Different Sizes.

(By ]. G. ALLsHoUsE, in the Farm and
Fireslde.)
Commonly arranged, a hand-cart for
transporting a single barrel requires
barrel to be ironed or otherwise fitted
up, and the cart cannot be used with
any other barrel. The cart illustrated
may be used with any barrel. Pro-
cure a stout piece of 9x3 inch wood,
little longer than greatest diameter
of an ordinary barrel; round down the
ends and put on iron ferrules to fit
in wheels of an old hand-cart as an
axle. Or, instead of rounding ends,
leave square, and attach the old iron
axle Of cart by staples or clips. Pro-
cure two long pieces Of wood as light
as consistent with strength and rigid.
ity, taper them down at one end to be
convenient for hands, and at large
ends of these handles bolt firmly on
each piece Of heavy wagon-tire
curved slightly to fit sides of barrel.

1NSNOTESSRae

Prune the rose bushes. You want
blossoms, not wood or leaves.
Prune of all dead or weak branch
es. Thin out the tops to let the sun
In.
Keep the orchard land In good tilth.
The trees can be set as soon a. the
leaves fall.
Frequent applications OF manure
water during the summer will keep
the plants blooming.
In planting young trees they should
be set about an inch deeper than they
were In the nursery.
Tobacco stems strewn on the
ground at the base OF rose plants will
help to keep away insects.
Nasturtiums and morning glories
should be planted wherever there Ia
anything TO train them on.
Just as soon as frost Is out and the
ground dry enough 1t will be time To-
set out the strawberry plants.
The ground for strawberries must
be dug over very deeply and as early
in the spring as 1t can be worked.
One Of the most common mistakes
made in orchard planting is that OF
setting the trees too close together.
Plant cover crop in the orchard.
Rye, barley, wheat and oats are
good nonleguminous plants, but the
legumes are better.
The old, neglected orchard with It's
dead trees and wormy apples is a blot
on the face OF the earth. Trim, spray
cultivate and get big returns.
