DEER PLENTIFUL
IN TUSCALOOSA
Are So Numerous as to PREY
Upon Crops of the
County

Montgomery, September 1S.-(Specialo
Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr., u
}the game and fish department has re-
fceived information that deer are so plenti-
ful in Tuscaloosa county that they are
preying upon the crops of that county
and that the farmers are threatening to
kill them. The information was received
in letter from r. F. Hammer of E,lrod.
In replying to Mr.. Hammer, Commits
sioner Wallace stated that the law made
1t violation for deer to be killed before
November l, and then only bucks could be
shot.
You are advised that it is a violation
OF the law to kill bucks in this state under
any circumstances before November L.,
wrote. Mr.. Wallace. 1T is highly crafty
ing to me to know that deer have be-
come SO abundant in your county If any
great damage has occurred and you will
notify me of the amount l will cndeavor
to make arrangements to reimburse the
parties damaged"
Commissioner Wallace recently issued
4 bulletin iR which it was stated that
there has been a large increase of deer
in Alabama within the past few years.
Deer have been seen in 80 of the 81 coun-
ties, and Mr.. Wallace believes that the
time will shortly come under the opera
tion of the game law when deer wifi be
nearly as plentiful in Alabama as in the
time of the early settlers and frontiers
men.

.MARENCO PROBATE
JUDGE IS CHARGED
WITH INCOMPETENCE
Impeachment Proceedings
Entered Against Judge A.
L. Hasty by Brickell at
Instance of O'Neal

Montgomery, September 1S.-(Spe-
cial) Charging wilful neglect of duty,
incompetency and corruption in office,
Attorney Genral Robert C. Brlckell,
at the direction of Governor O'Neal,
today entered impeachment proceedings
in the supreme court of Alabama
against Judge A. L. Hasty, judge of
probate of Marengo county. and ex-
officio Judge of the county court.
Following the filing of the artNles
of impeachment, Associate Justice
James j. Mayfield of the supreme court
Immediately issued an order setting
October 2S as the day of the trial, and
directing the clerk of the supreme court
to have Judge Hasty summoned before
the tribunal on that day and answer to
the charges made against him.
In the articles of Impeachment three
specifications are set out by the at
torney general The attorney general
charges that Judge Hasty failed to
keep a docket and enter up Judgments
in cases tried by him, in violation OF
the law that Judge Hasty continuous
ly consistently and constantly, and
with regularity, failed to issue execu-
tions'' against defendants and sureties
in all criminal cases In which there is
confession of judgment, and that Judge
Hasty failed to pay over to the county
treasurer funds and costs collected by
him.
AT the trial the attorney general will
be assisted by the law firm of Rushton,
Williams g. Crenshaw of Montgomery,
who were employed by citizens of Ma
rengo county to assist the state in the
prosecution OF Judge Hasty. The en-
ployment of special counsel by citizens
OF a county to assist the state in prose-
cutting a defendant is the first instance
of it's kind during the present admin
istration.
The Impeachment proceedings against
Judge Hasty are the result of q
report filed with the governor several
months ago by Examiner of Public
Accounts J. T. German, who declared
that the affairs of Judge Hasty's Of
flee were in such shape as to prevent
him from making a thorough examina-
tion of his books. The examiner was
vigorous in his criticism of Judge
Hasty, and following the receipt of his
report, Governor O'Neal Immediately
requested the attorney geenral to in
vestigate the charges against the Ma
rengO official.

An Epoch In Pythian History
Pages Night To Be Presented at Local Theatre BY the
Famous Degree Team From Dayton o-Event Be Under
the Auspices of the Third District Pythian Associa
tion-Five Hundred Neophytes to Be Initiated
BY CHARLES H. MANDY

Active preparations are being made for
what will undoubtedly be the greatest
event In Pythian circles that has occurred
in the history of the state that of Pages
Night" an elaborate exemplifieation of
the first degree for rank of page of the
order of the Knights of Pythias. On this
occasion a special train will bring to the
city from Dayton, o., 100 knights, MEM
bers of the degree team of that city, said
to be the best drilled, the best equipped,
and the most complete and efficient de-
gree team in the world.
They carry special scenery and stage
settings especially adapted for this de-
gree. Their costumes are said to be equal
to those of the worlds best stage pro-
ductions. No matter of detail, no mat
ter how small in the exempliflcation of
tlds beautiful and impressive degree has
been overlooked and the fact that there
are 100 participants gives the initiated
an idea of the magnificence and magni-
tude of the production.
Pages Night will mark an epoch in
the annals OF the Pythian lodges of this
district for on this occasion it is expected
that from 300 to 500 candidates for the
ranks of knighthood will be initiated into
the mysteries of the rank of page with
the most elaborate ceremonial ever put
on by local lodge. And without giving
any of the secrets of the order it might
be said in passing that the rank of page
with its beautiful teachings and impress
sive lessons gives wide scope for elabora-
tion and special effect.
The occasion viii be under the auspices
of the Third District Pythian association
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-14

which comprised Jefferson and several OF
the adjoining counties. Every lodge In
the Third district has pledged its hearty
support and encouragement to make the
night success. The matter of bringing
the team from Ohio was decided at the
last convention of the Third district re-
Gently held at Dolomte and when the
proposition was fully explained the con-
vention voted enthusiastically for 1t. The
team from Dayton is not composed of
professionals they are plain everyday
members of the Dayton lodges, like the
peasants of Oberammergau whose life
ambition is to take part in the Passion
Play" that has made the little Bavarian
village world famous. Every member OF
the Dayton lodges seeks to get place
on the degree team. They are selected
for their merit and not for wealth or
worldly honor Hence it is that the team
Is SO well trained and so proficient that
they are fully entitled to the proud dis
tlnction of being the "best in the world.
Following the adoption of the resolution
that decided to invite the Daytonians 10
present Pages Night In the city an ex-
ecutfve committee to make the necessary
preparations was named. They are all
high in the ranks of Pythianism and for
years have been prominent in its affairs.

Thomas r. Walker, secretary: d. w. c.
Yarbrough, B. Clay Jones' Alex CARRIER,
DIR. Murphree. w. T. Parker George Hud-
dleston, Frank Arrico, and Allen Holt.
1t Is expected that the ,largest number
of Pythians ever gathered in the state
will be present on the notable occasion.
In addition to all the grand Officers of
the state being present the supreme grand
chancellor, d. c. Colin of Macon. Ca,
and other supreme grand officers will

The affair will be given at one of the
local theatres and will take place in the

WHY AvOndale ES-
pecially Should Vote
For Geo. 3. Ward

Editor The Birmingham Age-Herald
Dear Sir:--I notice letter in the paper
from East Lake relative to the election OF
q president of the board of commissioners
and it occur to me that If there Is any
one particular section of Birmingham
that should give a solid vote for George
b. Ward, it is Avondale.
When the question of Greater Bfrming-
ham was being so much talked Avondale
took the initiative and voted to become
a part of the greater city, Through some
little technical error in the election we
were compelled to go back and do 1t all
over We had surrendered our charter,
our income and all We had, leaving us
without any government or official status.
was unfortunately selected as tem-
porary mayor to pilot Avondale back into
Birmingham. I went to Mr.. Ward as
mayor of Birmingham ana put our case
before him.. He took broad view OF the
situation and agreed to take care of US,
which he did in very satisfactory way.
As soon as Avondale became part of
Birmingham he began activities In our
city and had he continued in office long
enough, Avondale park would have been
the pride of all Greater Birmingham.
What he has done we have reason to
believe he will do again. We do not
expect him to show Avondale any special
favors nor do We want SUCH. What he
does for Avondale he will 40 for all. il
is not necessary for Ward to have plat
ford He has a record of things done,
which is far better than platform OF
impossibilities.
We all know that the things promised
by other candidates are impossible and
only recited for the purpose OF getting
votes. Let's not experiment with the
matter of city government any longer
We have too long surrendered the offices
of city and state to the legaA profession.
Let us rise above small petty ideas OF
what may seem to us grievances and
Join hands with the man who has done
greater things for Birmingham than any
other one who has ever figured In her
politics.
If Mr. Ward fails to make commission
form of government a success. then will
be ready to say-let's go back to the old
aldermanic form of government.
His business judgment and his sys-
tematic methods lead me to believe that
he is the one man who can make 1t go.
Let me insist on all AvOndale citizens.
who are interested In good government
and better things In this section make a
| sacrifice, II needs be, to go to the polls
Monday and roll up a creditable majority
for George B. Ward for president ol
board Of commissioners and take 1t from
me, IL he fails to make good l Will never
stake my judgment on any man.

In your issue of Jufse %, 1918, there ap-
peared an interview with Walter Moore
of your city in which he makes certain
statements and claims with reference to
the Illinois coal operators sending agita-
tors and others into Alabama for the
purpose of creating dissatisfaction and
dissension in the ranks of the miners en-
ployed in the various mines of the state.
The coal operators of illinois absolutely
and in the most positive terms deny every
statement made by Mr.. Moore and cnal-
lenge him to furnish the proof which
he claims to have in substantiation Of
the statements he made.
The statements made by Mr.. Moore are
of such character that the coal opera
tors of Illinois as represented by their
two associations. cannot permit them to
go unchallenged and we, therefore, ask
you to kindly publish this letter, giving
it the same prominence that was given
to Mr. Moores interview.

reply, yours truly.
