Aged Globe TrOtter

From the New York Times.
The only passenger on the Atlantic
transport liner Minnehaha, which arrived
from London last night, who did not seem
to mind the heat was Dr. ]. M. PEBBLES of
Los Angeles, Cal, who will be 92 years
old on March % next. DIR. PEBBLES has
arranged to start on his sixth trip around
the world in the fall of 1916. DR.. PEBBLES
is over six feet tall. with snow white hair
and beard and clear gray eyes. He told
the reporters last night that he owed his
good health to avoidance of drugs, eating
proper food and regular rest and exer-
else.
81 have been a vegetarian for 60 years."
said Dr. PEBBLES, land neither drink nor
smoke, but am not bigot. l was born
in Bennington, VT, and was one of the
seven founders of the Independent Order
of Good Templars in New York state. /
stayed in the east until 1 was 28 years
old. I contracted tuberculosis and then
went to California to save my life, and
have lived there practically ever since"
"What is the real secret of your vitality
at the age of 81 p he was asked.
Just behaving myself, proper living and
always being up and doing account for It,,
said DR.. PEBBLES. II have the will power
to compel me to do things instead of sit
ting in corner talking about the bygone
days, when I stood on the anti-slavery
platform with Garrison and other good
men before the war.
81 feel that I am in the morning of my
youth, and have no fear of death. be-
cause / believe that it merely means the
shedding of the outer shell and going to
sleep to. wake up In a new world
DR.. PEBBLES, who was accompanied by
r. PEBBLES Sudall. his adopted son. was
anxious to have the reporters know that
he was opposed to vaccination and vivi-
section. He was in the active practice of
medicine for so years, and still treats some
of his old patients. He served as sur
geon in the civil war and was appointed a
consul In Asiatic Turkey by President
Grant during his first term, but served
only 18 months of his term of office, as he
found the life too tedious for endurance.
At the present time DR.. PEBBLES is a cor
respondent of 81 newspapers and period
icais. of which nine are in India. Two
are Mohammedan papers. He made his
first trip across the Atlantic in 1865 in the
Cunarder Persia. and iron paddle wheel
steamship of $500 gross tons, with a speed
of IA knots.
Mr.. Sudall said that Dr. PEBBLES when
at his home in Los Angeles, generally
arose about 4:30 in the morning and break
tasted about o'clock. He is accustomed
then to go to his rose garden. He retires,
as rule, between and 9 o clock at night,
unless he has a lecture to deliver. He
intended to atten dthe international con-
vention of spiritualists in Geneva this
month"; but the London fogs affected his
throat. After lying in bed for week DR..
PEBBLES got up and said he was going
back to California.

tions to all Alabama railroads to show
why the state railroad commission should
not promulgate uniform requirements

tinations will be answered by railroad

the railroads to prepare their answers.
If uniform requirements are adopted all
railroads will be forced to reweigh ship
ments at destinations in Alabama If re-
quested by those receiving the freight
Another important case to be considered
is that of the citizens of Abbeville and
other towns VS. the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, being a petition for double
daily passenger train service on the Able
billie branch. AT present only one regu-
lar passenger train is operated and citi-
zens want the railroad commission to
order the discontinuance OF a mixed ac-
commodation train and another passenger
train placed on the line. large party
from Abbeville and other towns on the
line will come to Montgomery for the
hearing.
Other cases on the docket are:
| N. l.. Wilson ct al. VS.. Southern railway,
| passenger train facilities from Blocton,

Commissioner Inclined to Think That

In conjunction With DIR. Lovelady and
with the aid of City Attorney Romaine
Boyd 1 am row conducting an investiga-
tion as to whether or not the conyicts of
the city shall be worked without shackles
in compliance with the orders of Governor
O'Neal and a decision will be announced
early next week." said City Commissioner
A. o. Lane yesterday afternoon
II am satisfied, however, that 1t can t
be done, although 1 still have my mini
open to all sides of the question. 1t is IN
practical from the very beginning and Is
not justifable under the law. | do not
mean to make any personal attack ON any
man when I say this, but do believe that
the whole matter is merely an attempt to
lave the eonvicts placed back in the
mines
In the mines they can be worked with
out Shacl1les and anywheres else they
can't. If it's no shGckles, then it's the
mines. Any man would be a fool If he
was convicted for a serious crime ana
when placed en- the roads with no shacllles
on him did not escape. You take especial
ly these negroes aad let them dodge be-
hind house and they're gone. 1 am
thoroughly convinced already that the city
convicts cannot be worked on the street
without shacl1les ou them, for the simple
reason that too many of them would es-
cape. 1 have no authority over the ooun-
ty, but l am of the same opinion there,
for / do not believe unshackled convicts
can be worked on the roads without a
large per cent of them escaping.
All Must Be Treated Alike
LAS far as we have gone with the in
vestigaton, I do not believe that the coun-
ty convicts can be worked without
shackles and the city convicts with
shackles. If one class wears them they
sll will have to wear them. ! think that
is one of the very points the governor
makes in his contention, that there must
be no partiality shown, not even among
prisoners where one man is convicted for
a slight offense ana another man for a
serious offense.
The first | heard of this matter WAS

president of the BOARD or revenue, called
