The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-20

our comrades throughout the state and to all other good citizens as well, that they:
 "Waive all personal considerations and selfish interests, scrutinize carefully the moral character and qualifications, the records and environments of all candi- dates for office, from the lowest to the highest place in county, state and nation, and cast their ballots only for those who are qualified and who embody the moral principles that must, always underlie good government.
 ''In this connection we would specially emphasize a matter too frequently over looked, and yet of vital importance to the welfare of the state. We refer to the selection of delegates to our conventions, and executive committeeman.
 '.These conventions from time to time declare the principles and shape the pot icies of our parties and government. Ere quently designing men and demogogic politicians seek to manipulate them and through them to gain control of the reins of government, and thus thwart the will of the people and advance their own po- litical fortunes.
 .'ANe urge you, therefore. to be very careful of the men you send to county. state and national conventions, and ap- point as executive committeeman and see to it that in character, in principle and policy they properly represent you and stand only for the highest interests of the entire commonwealth.
 Asking your earnest consideration of the principles herein set forth. and so- liciting your assistance In the aid of purer politics and better government, we are your comrades,

DR. NEWELL DWIGHT . HILLS ID LECTURE
Noted Pastor of PlymOth Church Speaks Here
 February P

On account of an unavoidable conflict Jacob Ris will not lecture on March Il at the high school This number of the Lyeeum lecture course will be supplied by Dr. Newell Dwight Hills. pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, on February 22, instead of March H. His title, "Anler- lea of Today and Tomorrow peculiarly appropriate for Washington's' birthday, offers a rare treat to the Birmingham public
 Ten minutes walk from Fulton Ferry and Brooklyn bridge stands tho most fa- nous church in which religious services are held in America. Striking is the contrast between the outer structure and its historic fame. For 10 years this plain. simple building was the forum for the greatest pulpit andr platform voice, Henry Ward Beecher. Every Sunday, as well as week day. visitors or pilgrims from every part of the land and even from countries beyond the sea throng to Ply mouth church.
 To this church Newell Dwight Hillis was called in 1902 to succeed Dr. Ly- man Abbott. He was born in 1858 at Magnolia. Pa, received his A. B. and A. M. degrees at Lake Forest university, Chicago.
 He first won the attention of the Chris tion world as the successor of Prof. David Swing in Central Music hall. Chicago. No other clergyman ever had more ideal con ditions of bringing each Sunday to their congregation a discourse of learning and strength. At the resignation of Dr1 Alp bolt pr. Hills was called to Brooklyn, where his success was pronounced from the first hour, for no one can enter the nId l.,,i1 x.yit catching thp cOnta- zion of it's enthusiasm, and no words can describe the loyalty of it's men to old Plymouth.
 pr. Hills manner Is quiet and undem- onstrative He makes few gestures-talks with clear cut enunciation, but there IS no churning of the waters of oratorical excitement curbed animation alone reveals any fresh access of feeling, and his discourse flows out freely, easily, uni formly and full fed. He ushers his hear CTS with no formalty into the presence of the subject. Nowhere crops out the dry, unattractive edges of. the commen- tares of the theological fathers. The H. lustrations are from nature, what the doctor saw, with his tireless eyes last week, as he strolled across. the hill, or stood on top of the hill overlooking the enchanting landscapes from history. ev- cry page of which he seems to have thumbed but yesterday: from life, show ing how intimately. sympathetically, he is in touch with men and social condi- tons His lecture delights the scholar because of It's apt phraseology; the lover of nature because of fits informing ref erences to the material universe; the explorer of history because of It's allu- sions to Illuminating events of every age: the deliver in social conditions because of subtle observations of far reaching importance, the devotee of the spiritual because of the uplifting currents of Chris tian truth

] NEGRO CONNECTS ESCAPE FROM TRAIN Fried Plank Loose From Bottom of Car-Still
 at Large

Frying plank from the bottom or the car. and then cutting the air pipe and causing the train to stop. five ne gro convicts employed by the Ten - uessee' company made their escape yes terday evening about 6 o'clock from a convict train on the Birmingham South ern railroad
 The train was in charge of R. D.. Jones, an employe of the Tennessee company, working in the convict de- partment Jones, with four other guards, was transporting three cars of convicts from mine No. 12 to mine No. , The train was going through a deep cut on what is known as the drift track on the Birmingham south ern line, between Pratt City and mine No. 9 The brakeman of the tram noticed that something was wrong with the air pipes and the train was Immediately stopped and an inVestiga- tion was made. It was found that in one of the ears, containing 90 con yicts. a plank from the floor of tho car had been taken up. MT. Jones stated last night that 1t was his belief that the convicts did not intend to leave the train at that time, but were going to wait until the train stopped. But in taking the plank up they had bent or broken one of the small air pipes. Mir. Jones believes that this was done unintentionally. The brakeman noticed the air trouble caused by the broken pipe and stopped the train.
 When the convicts in the broken car were counted 1t was found that five of them were missing and investiga tion showed where they had escaped along the side of the track. It would have been an easy matter for the rest of the occupants of the car to escape, but none of them, apparently, had the inclination.
 The bloodhounds of the Tennessee company were put on the trail of the escaped men, but were unable to fol- low 1t.
 In all there were 104 convicts on the train, A in one car, 50 in the one that was broken open and 10 in an other. The other car of the train was d flat car for the use of the guards. All of the escaped men were long time convicts. Their names are Fred Smith, two years yet to serve; Theo Massey who had a four year sentence; Jim Beavers, who was in for eight years Tim Lightfoot, who was in for four years and John Daniels, who also had long term to serve. All of the men were from Huntsville
 MT Jones had the guards out search ing for the fugitiyes last night and II is believed that they will be returned tc the mines in few days.
 It was announced last night that a reward of S25 had been offeerd by tho Tennessee company for the capture oi any enc of the escaped convicts.
