5000 Montenegrins were slain in the
final attack. The Turkish soldiers,

taken prisoners. The Montenegrins
entered Scutari this morning amid a
popular demonstration.

Diplomats regard the victory of
Montenegro as seriously complicating
the Balkan situation. Montenegro's
open defiance of the powers is be-
lieved to have upset the plans for set

contentious of the powers has been
that Albania be granted an autonom-
Gus government with Scutari as the
capital. The powers are now puzzled
over how to dislodge the Montenegrins
from Scutari without an actual fight

ALABAMA BOY, CORN PRIZE
WINNER, TO TELL CHAMBER

Walker Lee Dunson of Alexander City.
Ala, the southern agricultural wizard,
who raised 2s2 bushels of corn on one
acre of ground In Alabama, has been in
vited by the Chamber of Commerce of
this city to make a visit here for the pur-
pose of giving in detail the methods pur-
sued by him to get this result Young
Dunson will be feted by the various
civic societies of the city and entertained
by various societies. according to the
plans made public here today
The report TO be made by Dunson I'M
der the auspices of the local Chamber
Of Commerce, which is one of the lead
ing civic bodies in the state in its eff
forts to encourage the farmers in the
state to greater productive effort both
for the sake of the farmer and to in
crease the prestige of the Buckeye state
as a distributing market, will it is
thought, include an analysis of the soil
of Alabama, on which the corn was
grown, how it was fortified, when Guilt
waited. the variety of corn planted, and
the weather conditions under which the
crop was grown.
According 10 the statement of United
States Secretary of Agriculture Houston
Dunson is the champion corn grower of
the world. there being no authentic rec
ord of an acre of corn ever having eN-
ceeded that of Dunson with productive
capacity or 232 bushels. When one con-
siders that the average yield per acre
in Ohio is only 50 bushels and that only
II per cent of the farm lands of Amer
ipa Viaidinpr GOnahlp returns the
possibilities of crops and food supply in
the United States can hardly be mag
ined under conditions such as Dunson
worked to procure his 232 bushels per
acre. An effort also will be made to
secure samples of the corn grown by Dun
son for general inspection of experts in
this vicinity
1t is expected that much will be gained
in the way of information regarding Ala
bama and southern agricultural progress,
of which little is known by the northern
agriculturists.

VOL CONTROVERSY
NEARS ACUTE STAGE

Nashville, December 21.-The breach
between President Hirsig and Manap
ger Schwartz of the Nashville base
ball team has reached the acute stage.
President Hirsig has demanded that
Schwartz retract certain statements.
which so far the manager has shown
no disposition of doing. The controversy
arose over the Perry Berger deal,
whereby Nashville received Heine Ber-
ger, pitcher, and a cash consideration
of $500 from Mobile for Infelder Clay
ton Perry. The deal was closed by
President Hirsig while in Atlanta. Nam
ager Schwartz in a public statement de-
elared that 1t was made without his
knowledge or consent. and that the
Welchonce- Callahan deal of last year
was also without his sanction. Hirsig
denies this, and has called on Schwartz
for public retraction. President Hirsig
Is supported by three of the seven di-
rectors, but as he controls the majority
of stock he is in position to displace
Schwartz as manager, as the latter has
not yet signed his 1914 contract.

Labor Leader Cites Learned Profess
siOns as Example of the
Closed Shop Idea

Before a large and enthusiastic au-
dience, Clarence barrow of Chicago
the well known labor leader gave an
eloquent address at the Bijoh theatre

ing was forceful and his remarks be-
ing clearly enuneiated were listened
with mark ed attention

profession and trade was now organ
lied. He stated that lawyers,s clergy
men, doctors, bankers. architects and
kindred professions all had to serve
apprenticeships for years before enter
ing their chosen profession the same
as a bricklayer or plasterer. He
stated that the professions had en-
trance. examinations and those not
properly equipped were not allowed to
Become lawyers. bankers, elergymen or
architects. The professions he said
represent the biggest closed shop in
the world
However, according to Mr.. barrow
when worl1ingmen attempt to insist
on a closed shop principal there were
protests on all sides from lawyers
bankers, doctors and architects that j
was revolutionary and that the coun-
try was going to. the eternal bow
vows" "'rhe professions said Mr.
barrow "give an excellent example OF
solidarity and 1t is up to the labor
unions to profit by their example and
all stand together
In closing his address. which occu-
pied about two and one-half hours in
delivery Mr. barrow urged his au-
dience to stand by the unions until
something better came. Mr. barrow did
not refer to the labor troubles at Los
Angeles a year or two ago.
The speaker was introduced by Ber
