NEW YORK HARRY 10 BE ARRESTED TODAY Detective Waiting for Mans Release From Atlanta
 Penitentiary

Atlanta, February S.-(Special.) al.)-When New York Harry steps from the fed eral prison tomorrow morning he will enjoy but a few minutes of freedom, for he will be placed under arrest by De- tective P. C. Cole of Birmingham, on the charge of being connected with the brutal murder of two policemen in the Alabama city P years ago.
 He has been serving sentence for rohbing a postoffice in South Carolina in 1904 his time of five years being up on Friday morning.
 The crime for whicn the prisoner is wanted was a particularly brutal one. In March, 1900. a safe of the Standard oil company in Birmingham was robbed and in saloon a short distance away off cers Adams and I<irkley, who had been notified, found two men and arrested them. As they started toward the jail the two men turned on them and riddled the officers with bullets, both dying
 The next day Frank Miller and Frank Duncan were arrested on the charge of being the murderers and both were hanged, 1t is now believed that Duncan was innocent and New York Harry was the other man. The guilt of Miller was positively established.

B. A. C TEAM PLAYS .L.S.U. BOYS TONIGHT
Will Be First Opportunity to See Southern Champions
 at Home

Tonight at S;S0 o'clock the Birmingham Athletic clubs southern championship basketball team will play the Louisiana Birmingham Athletic club court. The Louisiana State university team was re- gently defeated in New Orleans by the New Orleans Young Mems Gymnastic club team by the score of 25 to 2l for the championship of Louisiana. The Louisiana State university team of 1912 is said to be the strongest that has rep resented the university in many years.
 Last year the Birmingham Athletic club had little trouble in defeating the Louis iana State university punch by a ratio of nearly 9 to l, the score being 40 to 15 This will be the first opportunity that the followers of basketball will have to see the Birmingham Athletic club team after having won the southern champion shil. in Columbus. and 1t is thought that one of the largest crowds of the sea son will be out.
 Seals, who played so finely in the games on the road, will not pc in tonights game and will probably be out for some time. or late, as the result c1 strenuous work on the road he mas developed a char ley horse," and his hand is in very bad condition. McGowan. the other. star of the road trip, is m fine condition, and will be in the game from the start.
 Between the halves of the game Bir- ningham will see her first game of dodge hall" This will be introduced by the members of the junicr class, and it is said will create much laughter. It is not such scientific game, but the players must be very alert or they will receive the ball on the body with some force.
 The line up will be:
 Birmingham Athletic Club-Forwards. Satterfield and McGowan; center. Gilbert or Ritchie; guards. Wharton and Nesbit.
 Louisiana State University Evans: forwards. Johnson and Hines; guards. l. Dupont and sJ. Dupont.
 After the game the regular terpsicho- rean feature will follow.

not come up to expectations he would
 get others.
 Third base has a number of candi-
 dates and one from the number should
 be able to fill up the hole that Phelan
 left. Wall, Midkiff and Rapp are the candidates for the third sack. Wall, who proved to be a sensation last year in the Central association with the Ot- tumwa nine, batted 1901 and fieded
 925 He has shown signs of promise
 and will, no doubt, prove a likely man for the third sack. Midkiff, an ac- qusition from the Akron team of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league, batted 302 last year with that aggregation
 and fielded 939. The other candidate,
 Rapp, from the Philadelphia National team, Is also promising man.
 Ems, another late acquisition, was se-
 cured from the Chicago White Sox and
 played last year at first base for the Galesburg team in the Central associa-
 tion. He felded .273 and batted .275
 there last year. Dilger, the other re- cruit, is a catcher from the Kewanee team of the Central associa ton. He batted but 1922 last year and fielded | .9S5 however. He halls from the same
 team that Elliott was secured from

 Manager Molesworth announced yes- terday that the entire reserve list for
 the next season was composed of the following from last years team: Han-
 ma, Ellam, McGlvray, Yantz, Johnston, Mcbride Marcan, Molesworth, Mowrey
 and Foxen, while the new players | signed are Midkiff Gaines, an amateur; Rapp, Green, Lemon, Wall Baker, Cochran, Chaput, Mardgrove. Boyd,
 Ens, Carroll, Randall, Smith, the local boy; Messenger and Dilger. Deals are
 on with Cincinnati for Trough, while Molesworth Is dick ering with Brook lyn for Kent. He thinks that both will
 be signed up before the season is
 over.
 MolesWorth announced yesterday that 17 had signed the contracts and that no player was demanding more sal ary. Of course some are requesting
 more, but none have threatened not to play unless their requests are acceded
 to. The robust manager announced
 that some deals were on, but would
 not divulge the details until later. The
 players will report on March 12. The first game will be played on March 29,

Clark Replies to Statement Charging He Was Unfair-He Is Pre- Pared to Prove All
 That He Said

Washington, F February S.-formal order for congressional investigation of the Florida everglade lands case in the de- psrtment of agriculture was passed to- day by the House committee on expendi- lures in that department. That Engineers Elliott and Moorehouse, who were dis charged by Secretary Wilson, had been Victimized by Florida syndicate land pro motors, and that official reports on tee real conditions in the everglades were tempered with, arc charges 10 be probed.
 Representative Moss, chairman of the committee, immediately telegraphed to ]. O. Wright, engineer of the state of Flor ida, formerly connected with the agricui- tural department, to appear as a witness before the committee Tuesday.
 George McCabe, solicitor of the depart ment of agriculture, will be heard on Saturday.
 T have called upon the department of agriculture for a complete statement of the exact cost of the drainage work in the Florida everglades" said MT. Moss, with a list of employees on the work.
 Tn this statement will be incorporated the cost of getting at reports which 1t is alleged were suppressed.
 ''I expect that it will be ready for the committee on Saturday, he said. 'The committee has decided to investigate al- legged relations of the syndicates and con- duct a thorough inquiry into the drainage division of the department of agriculture
 We will thoroughly sift the charges Of misapplication of funds upon which were based the dismissal of Chief Engineer Charles Elliott and his assistant, A Moorehouse, and the suspension of F. P Singleton accountant of the division,' said MT. Moss the chairman.
 Representative Frank Clark of Florida replied hotly in the House to a statement given out by the department of sgricul- ture which described his presentment al the charges of suppression of facts and undue influence of land promoters, as ''prejudicial and onesided."
 T am ready to prove, he declared that the Secretary of Agriculture tolc me. in the presence of reputable persons and witnesses, that he suppressed this cir cular letter, that gave the facts, at the instance of persons engaged in selling lands in the everglades of Florida.
 q hesitated to take this action, because I looked upon the venerable Secretary o Agriculture more In sense or pity tnal of blame" he said.
 But millions of dollars have gone int the coffers of these land sharks in Tlorid for lands that arc eight or ten feet unde water" he continued. "They should hav bees sold by the gallon and quart f tn people wanted to be humbugged, am per fectly willing. but not by co-partnerslnl between a great government and thes' land spectators in co-operation.'
