in Champaign county.
Penman, according to witnesses,
contracted for the purchase of the
car, but appeared on Saturday with
out the money. He asked Shaw to
take him for ride and the two
started off together.
When. Penman returned he was
alone, and told a friend of Shaw's
that he had purchased the car from
Shaw, paying cash for it, and that
Shaw had gone away on a vacation.
Penman then rode away in the car.
Shaw's disappearance caused his
family some anxiety the first night,
but on the second night the father
dreamed that Harold had been muir
dered and told the story to the po-
lice.
An investigation Unearthed the
fact that Penman had borrowed a
spade from Newton Wymore, a
neighbOr, awaking him at 8 o'clock
with the story that he had knocked
down a post and wanted to replace it.
The ground adjoining was imme-
diately searched and Shaw's body
unearthed under about four feet of
ground.
A postcard addressed to Penman
and purporting to have come from
Shaw arrived at PhiIo last night. It
was mailed from Hamilton, o., and
the police believe was sent to throw
Shaw's parents off the track.

GERARD|S HOUSE
HUNTING IN BERLIN
Ambassador Discouraged at
Outlook and May Resign
His Post Soon

Berlin. August 3-Justice James w.
Gerard of New York, who has been
rendered the post of ambassador TO
Germany by President Wilson, after
spending several days here in vain
search for new quarters for the en-
bassy, is much discouraged at the out
look.
Justice Gerard has Inspected all the
available houses in Berlin and said
tonight that unless he succeeded in
finding a place adapted to the require
ments of himself. his family and the
embassy, he was seriously considering
declining the post. He added that the
present embassy, the lease on which
expires April /. next, is too cramped
for his needs. He says he is unwilling
to come to Berlin as ambassador unless
he can represent the nation in a worthy
manner.
Tonight Justice Gerard drafted a bill
for presentation to the American Con-
gress in which 1t is aimed to meet
the embassy building situation in Ber-
lin and elsewhere. II would provide
for the compulsory registration of an
annual tax of $40 on all Americans liv-
ing abroard under penalty of loss of
citizenship and give the treasury de-
partment a basis for collecting an in
come tax to provide funds for embassy
quarters.

Before Chamber of Com

BUILDINGS ARE READY
President Wright of National Con-
servation Exposition Gratified By
Interest Being Shown By the
Cities of the North

T. Ashury Wright of Knoxville. Tenn,
president of the National Conservation
exposition that Is to be held in that city
from September 1 to November / of the
present year. headed a delegation of Ten
nesseans that arrived in Birmingham
last evening. Others in the delegation
were Col. Charles II. Harvey, fourth vice
president of the exposition, and Col.
Cary F. Spence postmaster at Knoxville.
James b. Young, director of publicity for
the exposition, accompanied the party.
The Knoxville men came to Brming-
ham especially to attend the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce that has been
called by President Harding for this aft
ernoon at $50 o'clock At the meeting
the question of Birmingham exhibit for
the conservation exposition will be taken
up and discussed.
From Birmingham the Knoxville dele
cation will go to Atlanta on the same
mission that brought them to this city.
/ According to the statements made last
evening by President Wright it is hoped
to show the business men of Birming-
ham wherein it will be to their advan-
tage to be represented at the Knoxville
exposition. Mr. Wright will address the
Chamber of Commerce meeting today and
short talks probably will be made by
Colonel Harvey and Colonel Spence
81 know l voice the sentiment of every
man connected with the National Con-
servation exposition, said President
Wright, when ! say that we want Bir-
mingham represented at our show. For
some reason Birr ham has not up to
this time evinced very lively interest
In the propositions that we have UNDER
taken at Knoxville and which is now
, so nearly complete.
I'VE are going to have a big national
exposition at Knoxville during the months
of September and October. It will be in
no sense a local affair. 1t Is national.
but, of course. it will have an especial
reference to the south. 1t is designed to
teach the lesson of conservation-the need
of conserving that which we have, natural
resources and life and health and energy
and 1t is also designed to show to the
entire country the wonderful advance the
south has made in all lines of commercial
endeavor in the last few years
I'VE are nearly ready for the opening
of the exposition. One thing that is par
ticularly gratifying to us is the way IN
which many of the northern cities have
taken up the exposition idea. We are
going to have large representation from
a number of northern cities. Cincinnati
is one of these. The chamber of com
merce of that city has taken over 5000
feet of space at the exposition"
According to other members of the
Knoxville delegation, the exposition is
ready for the installation of exhibits A
number of large new exposition build
ings have been put up. These are equal
in size and in architecture to the best
exposition buildings ever erected. A large
number of special events have been sehed-
uled for the exposition and the attend
ance from abroad will reach 100000 If
not more than that, according to careful
estimates made by the directors.

1t was pointed out by them that if

"What Do You Think of This?"
olcer Patton the Birmingham Humane Society Finds Young
Children Bound By Ropes and Chans-Dog Chains
and Dog Collars Used
By CHARLES H. MANDY

The Stacking of the unfortunate who.
for some petty offense, or rather for be-
ing too poor to pay the fines imposed by
the recorder Of the police court, has long
been the subject of more or less criticism.
and the sight Of men being worked in
chains, not because of the offense COM
mitted, but because of an inability to
pay fine, is repugnant TO every idea of
justice, and is a blot on our boasted civ
lization.
One of the greatest of the Roman en-
perors dimmed his martial glory by drag
ging his war captives bound in chains
along the streets of Rome, and yet, after
all these centuries of boasted progress
and advancement the shaclle is still re-
sorted to. Be it said for the city and
county authorities, who inherited this bar
barous custom, that the prisoners are well
fed and well treated, and as soon as any
prisoner proves worthy the shackles are
removed. While in some instances the
street sentences are imposed as additional
punishment or when other methods of
punishment have failed yet in the great
majority of cases 1t is only the poor and
friendless who are subjected to this
medieval method.
Repugnant as are the chains on the
ankles of grown men, how much more
so is the chaining of children in this
Christian land, yet, according to the re-
port of Humane officer Patton of the Bir-
mingham Humane society," this has been
done several times during the past few
months, one of the cases occurring last
week. During the latter part of the week
OFFICER Patton received "a telephone mes
sage stating that two children were bound
to bedstead in a house on the Southside,
and that they had been SO confined for a
week or more.
The officer made prompt investiga-
tion, and found two little white boys, aged
and Z years respectively, bound with
ropes 10 a bedstead. On the orders of the
officer they were Immediately released by
their stepmother and when the father
was found he stated they were tied to the
bedstead to keep them from running away
from home. He also acknowledged that
they had been tied up for week or more.
He stated the boys would run off from
home and neither whippings nor other
methods would prevent them leaving. BY
the time Officer Patton got through with
him he begged to be given a chance and
promised that the children would not be
