At late hour last night the negro Mil
lard Carpenter. who Saturday night shot
and killed John 7. Camp, the well known
transfer man. was still at large
negro answering in part the descrip-
ton of Carpenter was captured early yes
terday morning In Jasper by Tom Files,
chief OF police of that city. This negro
since his arrest has told several different
stories to the Jasper authorities. This
suspect will be brought to Birmingham
this morning for identification. Not much
credence is given locally to the conten-
ton that the suspect arrested in Jasper
will prove to be Willard Carpenter
1t is the general opinion here that Car
penter has not left Birmingham, but that
he is hiding in one of the numerous negro
dives. The entire police department Is
on watch, and Carpenters capture is ex-
pected before another day. 1t is not
thought at police headquarters that the
negro will be captured alive.
Mr.. Camp Well Known
Throughout yesterday an absorbing top
ic of conversation was the murder of Mr.
Camp, who was one of the most prom
inent business men in the city, and very
popular Indignation Was freely expressed
and it was recounted that in the last two
weeks there have been killings daily, and
not one of the guilty persons had been
arrested. 1t was, however, stated that
two alleged murderers had surrendered.
1T is a murder here and murder
there" said County Coroner c. L. Spain
last night, land the worst part of it is
that not / per cent of the guilty parties
are ever caught and punished.
II am not offering a criticism of the
police department. Undoubtedly with the
extremely small force allowed Chief
George II. Bodeker by the city commits
sioners he is getting as good results as
could be expected, but the question re-
mains, are the taxpayers of this great city
satisfied TO place premium on murder
by having an inadequate police force to
prevent such crimes or to catch the guilty
persons after such crimes have been COM
mitted.
There can be no other viewpoint on
this question. Somebody is responsible for
the fact that human life is held SO cheap
in this city. Think of it, murder every
day and not l per cent of the guilty
caught and punished. 1t is a condition
that should bring the blush of shame to

MANY PEOPLE VISIT
THE FAIR GROUNDS
Concessionaires, Horses and
Exhibitors Coming on
Every Train

The Alabama State Fair grounds We're
flooded with people yesterday afternoon
and for few hours it seemed as if the
fair was really on. Fully 5000 people
visited the grounds and viewed the great
work of preparation, and not few re-
marked on the nearness to completion.
The $1,000 Pink Lemonade Man. was
working over time and there seemed TO
be an undying thirst. Motorcycles were
popping on the race track, which was
fairly alive. Fully % motors We're rum
ming around the track, some single and
some tandem. some Just riding" and
others, entrants in the races, testing their
machines.
Concessionaires are arriving in droves
from all points. Nashville is sending
down great crowds and so is Montgomery.
Horse race men are dropping in seemingly
from everywhere, all hollering for the
freight man to get their cars placed so
they can get their horses unloaded and
the travel stiffness worked out of them.
Mr.. Brahston. traffic manager of the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company. said he had received notice that
the Midway train of 80 cars would be
transferred 70 him early this morning,
and was all day making preparations to
unload these and the many carloads or
exhibits, which will be here today also.
The fair Will open Thursday under bet
ter conditions than it has done in years
past. 1t could open this morning with no
embarrassment to the management
whatever, but the dates have been set
and must be adhered to. a general lnvl-
tation is not extended to the public to
visit the grounds yet, as the crowds will
interfere with the preparation work, sand
the management has requested that no
one come to the grounds between now
and Thursday unless on business.

MANY ATTEND THE
ST. PAUL MASSES
Rev. Father Carroll Cele-
brant and Preacher at
High Mass

All the masses at ST. Paul's church
We're largely attended yesterday. At
1890 o'clock thereswas a high mass--the
first high mass since very early in the
summer. The Rev. Father Carroll was
the celebrant and preacher, and the choir
sang Marcos beautiful mass. with Mrs
c. ]. SEVERN as solo soprano; and for
the offertory Mrs. SEVERN sang a fine
old Latin hymn. in the form of prayer,
familiar to all the faithful in this coun-
try in its English translation as q part
of evening devotions-"Sub Tuum Prae-
sidium' eve fly to thy patronage. oh
holy Mother of God. etc.. The musical
setting was by Delcjens. and was heard
for the first time probably in Brming-
ham. 1t was rendered with feeling and
artistic vocalization.
In the Catholic calendar yesterday was
the feast of the "Solemnity of the Holy
Rosary of the Blessed Virgin" and Fa-
Their Carrolls sermon was suited to the
occasion. He recited as a text these
words from the Twelfth Chapter of the
apocalypse
And great sign appeared in heaven.
A woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and on her head
a crown of stars, and being in labor
she was in pain to be deliver 3D. And
there was another sign in heaveli--the
red dragon Satan ready to drown the
fruit of her womb. And when she
ven. wherein the angels of God cast out
Satan and hts angels. And l heard a
voice saying: Now is come salvation
and strength, and the kingdom of God
and the power of his Christi"
The preacher pointed out that the
scripture passage which he read gave an
account of Marys first victory over the
enemy of mankind. History. he said had
repeated itself since then. for in the thir-
teenth century the dragon was seen
again. now the dragon of, heresy, rre-
pairing to devour the dogmas Of our faith;
but once again, said the priest. Mary ap-
peared in the heavens and taking from
her head its starry crown she made of
it a rosary and placed ii IN the hands
of St. Dominic, She babe him arm his
followers herewith and lead them
against the powers of darkness. Then
the demons of error and sin fled, SO that
once more the heavenly voice proclaimed
the kingdom of God established and the
power Of his Christ restored.
Father Carroll then told Of some of the
objections which nor catholics Lal
against the rosary and followed with TIE
reasons why the rosary was SO greatly
este n.eo by Catholics. He explained the
Gif'e,es ce between saerdu N and ". =
ship, and defended In strong terms the
efficacy of the rosary prayers and the
pinus meditations that accompany tho re-
sally devotions
The usual Sunday evening devotions
were held at St. Paul's at 7.30 o'clock. On
week nights Throughout the month of
October rosary devotsons are held at St.
paul's at 1880 :. H.

the cheeks of the citizens who have the
welfare of the city at heart.
Cause Is "Pistol Toting"
'The causes of all this killing I have
found in my Investigations are mostly due
to the fact that about every other man
in jefferson county carries a pistol and
will use it quicker and upon slighter
provocation than was the vogue in the
west 30 years ago. Other causes are that
cocaine and the cheapest grades of liquor
are easily accessible to the negroes. A
negro full of 'trukey-trot' gin and
dope and with 44-caliber pistol can
do whole lot of damage in a few min
utes, as the records of my office show.
"As for alleviating these conditions the
only hope is for the taxpayers to take
up the question themselves. No police
department can enforce the laws If the
citizens do not wish the laws enforced
and / cannot imagine that where the
great majority of the citizens are them
selves pistol-toters' that the desire to
enforce the law Is very great. 1t Is easily
to be seen that Birmingham is not urging
strict enforcement of the law because it
was representatives from Birmingham
who went to the legislature and forced
through an iniquitous bill curbing the
powers of the coroner in his investiga-
tions.
Il repeat that it is up to the citizens of
Birmingham and to no one else to prevent
the history of this city being written with
pen dripping with the blood of the VIC
Tins of the assassin's bullet or knife. A
stop to these terrible conditions of af-
fairs is due and it Is due now"
Reward Offered
Culpepper Exum, president of the city
commission ordered Chief of Police Bo-
deker to spare no expense in the endeavor
to arrest Carpenter and offered a $50
ward for the negro, dead or alive. Chief
Bodeker stated that he was greatly
shocked at the killing of Mr.. Camp, whom
he had known for % years and who was

1t was announced last night at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Camp, 1131 North Twenty
seventh street, that funeral services over
the remains will be conducted this after
noon at o'clock from the residence. The

Makes Detailed Report of
Cases During Month

In submitting the September report of

makes the following statement:
I'VE submit to the public, and especially
to friends of the anti-tuberculosis work,
a statement of the operations of the as
ISOLATION during September.
In addition to the work described, the
secretary visited Sumter, Coffee, Hous-
ton, Covington, Dale and Geneva coun-
ties, and subsequently revisited Houston
county at the special invitation of lead
ing citizens of Dothan. In all but one of
these counties commencement has been
made for organizing associations.
TT is important to announce that a

On the other hand it should be noted that
of the 80 patients handled at the sana-
tarium during the month, one was dis
charged as well and % show marked i'm

the fact that tuberculosis Is a conquerable

Contrast of Human Life


The contrast between our limitations
and ignorance and the omnipotence and
wisdom of God is one of the earliest and
clearest and most persistent notes in all
revelation. Voiced In the language of
prophecy we find it stated: For my
thoughts are not your thoughts. neither
are your ways my ways said the Lord
For as the heavens are higher than the
EARTH so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts" In unfolding the divine plan
fol- world redemption-a plan that had
been dimly foreshadowed In ritual and
sacrifice-the Apostle Paul cries out in
wonder and admiration 30 the depth of
the riches both of the wisdom and the
knowledge of God: How unsearchable are
His judgments, and His ways past find
ing out In the delicate and miraculous
adjustment and provisions Of nature in
the ordering of the universe. as well as in
the word OF revelation, we have abundant
testimony to the superior wisdom and
mighty power of GOD.
We can easily see--indeed it is impos-
sible for us not to see--how very differ
ent would often be the ordering of our
lives if we had clear vision of the flu
ture When some turn of events sud-
denly brings up face to face with some
mistake of Judgment or foolish choice that
we have made in the past, how often do
we exclaim: IF had only known" What
l want to bring out Is that we would
often act very differently IL we could
foresee what Is to come. We would turn
in another direction than that which we
purpose, If we could but know what the
future would bring. Then IL we have
surrendered our lives into the hands OF
One who does know, Whose eye is stead
tasty fixed upon what Is future to us
but ever present to Him. what more TO
be expected than that He will sometimes
seek to turn US from the way which we
have chosen, or that He should interpose
some barrier to keep us back from the
carrying out of some purpose that bears
in It the sure promise of future hurt and
fruitless regret.
Gods Aim
Another thing which we need to bear in
mind constantly Is that Gods great aim IL
moral betterment and eternal welfare
Time and again the mere pleasure or
even the gain of this present life is set in
sharp contrast to that which Is spiritual
and eternal. IL we believe In the word
of revelation at all we are compelled to
believe that In the view Of God, as we'll
as In the substantial things of human
character. nothing of the conditions or cir
cumstances of this present life can weigh
aught as compared to the things which
make for strength of character and our
eternal we'll being. SO this Is the great
end Of God IN our lives--to develop the
strongest and richest and ripest possible
character within us, and to guarantee our
ga fety and happiness forever
From the above the next step In the ar
gument must appear plain to everyone.
God may be pleased to impoverish us for
the time that He may enrich us for eter-
nifty. He may fill our hearts with sorrow
now that He may thereby teach MS the
loftlest notes of everlasting joy. He may
