OHNE FILLS IMPORTANT PLACE
 IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORE

state Sunday school work is to increa. the number of organized adult classe. and render helpful service to those a ready organized. Under the leadership Leon c. Palmer, the adult department sl perintendent last year, who is now u general secretary of the state asosciatio the number of organized classes enrollt was more than doubled in 12 month time; 1t is Dr. Ohme's ambition to evt surpass this record.
 In accepting the position, Dr. Ohm said: "I realize the state wide oppo tunity that lies before me in this wor organized adult classes registered ar holding certificate before the state co vention next April I hope we may even better. In my judgment there no field for Christian usefulness great than that afforded by the organized inte denominational Sunday school work, | ciuding as it does the Sunday schools all denominations. I look forward to great years work
 MT. Palmer. the general secretary the state association, stated that a ba ner would be awarded that county enroI ing the largest number of organized adu classes during the year in proportion the total number of Sunday schools in Il county. A similar banner is also be1 offered in each of the other departmen of the state Sunday school work, namel the elementary. secondary. secondal home, teacher training, missions, aI temperance departments.

]A|L DELIVERY IS
 AVERTED IN BUTLER Ten Were on Eve of Escap- ing From Greenville Jail
 When Discovered

Greenville, September i2.-tSpecial.)- )- Jailer Kerksey of Butler county gave m alarm in time to prevent ten of the But Ter county prisoners from making an es- cape in the early part of last night, In the different cells there were 20 prisoners confined nine being together. MT. Kerk- sey noticed that the prisoners were sing ing unusually late and went out to in vestigate. Hc could hear the faint sound of an instrument digging into the thick walls. He immediately telephoned for Sheriff Daniel and shortly he with Dep uties Daniel and Hartley were on the scene guarding the jail.
 Upon opening the large steel doors 10 of the prisoners were backed up against the wall near the uncompleied hole. A young negro who had been made Il trusty during Wednesday broke q cell lock with piece of iron he in some manner secured. He akillfully placed the lock to- gether so that it appeared all right ard when the jaier placed the trusty in the cell he did not detect the broken lock. The lock had to be worked from the out side and during the day a fellow cells man came out and hid upon the cells. He worked the lock that gained thcir liberty in the bull ring. Work was soon com mencsd on breaking through the out side wall, anu is they had hal only a few minutes ten would have made their escape.

TEACH INDIAN ID HANDLE HIS MONEY Valentine Would Develop Sense of Responsibility
 Among Wards

Washington, September 12.-"Liberalize the regulations governing the monies or individual Indians and encourage their independence to the utmost, is the Key note of an order of Commissioner val entlne of the Indian bureau, approved to- day by Acting Secretary Adams or the interior department.
 The order revokes a circular order or last April regarding the responsibility or Indian superintendents for handling the large aggregate of money deposited to the credit of individual Indians, the new dictum being intended to give to each Indian the fullest amount of real eau- cative responsibility.
 As fast as individual Indians give justification for such action by showing their actual capacity" the new order reads. '.all the monies due them snail DC turned over to them for their own use. Superintendents will ask for authority ln each particular case
 The order directs that everything pos sible be done to encourage aole-podiea Indians to be independent members or the community.
 They should be given more frequently than at present a part or thelr iuhos' the department directs, monthly pensions payable from principal shall not be a. lowed except in cases Of apsoiute neces- sity. Superintendents are authorized to expend reasonable amounts out of the in- diyidual Indians money without authority from Washington in such unforeseen emergency as involve life, health, property and pressing agricultural needs

Montgomery, September 12.-(Special--
 At special called meeting in Mont gomery Thursday. the central committee
 of the Alabama Sunday association exec
 utive committee accepted with regret the
 resignation of the Rev. J. w. Long or Jacksonville, the adult department super
 ntendent of the state association, who is about to leave the state, and elected as
 his success or Dr. B. M. Ohme of Mont
 gomery. The choice is q particularly
 happy one, as pr. Ohme has had a large and varied experience in the organized
 Sunday school work of the state associa-
 ton, and has made good" in every posi-
 ton he has held. Before coming to Mont gomery he was president of the Tallapoosa
 County Sunday School association for
 three years and made one of the most
 remarkable records for actual work ac-
 complshed of any county president in the state.
 In 1909 Dr. Ohme attended 21 Sunday
 school conventions, travelled 1l73 miles,
 and wrote nearly 1000 letters. The next
 year he attended 20 conventions, travelled
 1896 miles and wrote 1447 letters, all of this as volunteer worker for the Ala bama Sunday School association, with out receiving any compensation whatever. In the same year he brought his county CTallapoosa) up to the Gold Star" stand ard of the state association. The Gold
 Star rank is awarded only to those coun- ties in which every individual Sunday school, of every denomination, co-operates in the organized Sunday school work. There are 29 such counties in Alabama now, with the number steadily increas- ing, this being the highest record of any state in the south In the following year he made a record in some respects even better than in 1910. He is now pres- ident of the Montgomery city association and chairman of the executive commit
 tee of the Montgomery County associa- ton.
 Dr. Ohme's new position as head of the Adult Bible class department of the state ssociation will give him a greatly en- larged field of usefulness and an oppor- tunity to come in touch with the adult Bible classes of all Sunday schools of all | denominations, Baptist. Methodist. Pres | byterian, Christian. Episcopalian, Con- gregaitonal, and others.

 tion's Affairs

 The receivers. w. E. Strong and Rob- ert Walker. were appointed by Judge Hough in an involvency suit brought in behalf of creditors. In addition to the appointment of the two receivers for the holding company five of it's constituent companies were involved The receivers joint bond was fixed at s1o0,000.

GRAND ARMY MEN
 IN SECRET SESSION
Numerous Officers Reports Made-IncOme Steadily
 Decreasing

Los Angeles, September 12.-Dele- kates to the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic had an all day secret session, receiving re- ports of officers and among other things virtually exonerating the off ficials of the National Soldiers Home at Dayton, O.. of charges of misman- agement.
 Commander in Chief Trimbell, in his annual report, urged the delegates to take action for the erection of fitting memorial to the loyal women of our country, to commemorate their great service and devotion, their willing sac rifices and unequalled fortitude during the period of the civil war"
 William J. Wells, chairman of the committee on Bull un battlefield, asked in his report that comrades urge all congressman to work for the bill pro- viding that the government become owner of the land on which the battle field monuments stand.
 The committee on the proposed Lin coin way along the Potomac reported conditions unfavorable for the project.
 That the income of the Grand Army was growing less ana less edch year and that an increase in the per capita tax from 3 %c to Dc would be nec- essary in order to raise funds sufficient to meet demands, was the report filed by Quartermaster General Stowitz. In 1890 the report stated there were 400,- GOO members in good standing, each paying BE cents per capita but in 1912 there was less than half that number, making the yearly loss more than s7000 from the per capita tax alone.
 Surgeon General Hanranan's report favored the shortening of the annual parade.
