of General Daniel F.. Sickles as chair
man of the state monument commission,
with possible relief for the veteran.
Senator Brown added:
"I believe General Sickles should not
be treated like an ordinary state em-
ploye, under such circumstances. Dur
ing the past % years he has spent over
$50000o for the state without accepting
a cent for his services Less worthy
cases have been generously dealt with in
the past by the state. I believe a thor

ture.

order in the state of Alabama, fol-
lowed by the exemplification of the
secret work by Henry C. Pollard, grand
secretary. The grand lodge degrees
were conferred by the grand lodge Of
ficers, after which the convention ad-
journed for supper.
Promptly at o'clock the convention
reconvened, prayer being offered by
Rev. l. o. Adams, chaplain.

cred an excellent address on The

in this country would have fallen If
they had had an equally good chance
to lead a pure life that they have been
dragged into the nnire in such numbers
is due to variety of circumstances
among which are poverty, low wages,
improper home conditions and non
training with the desire to crafty the
natural craving for amusements, pret-
ty things to wear and nonpurification
circles. Man is chiefly responsible for
their fall. while there may be other
contributing causes. Thus far the work
of the bureau has been financed by its
members and a Jew friends. and this
will continue to be the case until a
larger and more formal organization
is deemed advisable. To its future finan-

there are numbers of men and women
In this city who, / am confident, stand

OF the Series with the Lo-
Gals. by a Score of
4 to 5.

The uniontown baseball team de-
feated the local All star team in
the fourth and final game of the
series at Union Park Sunday after
noon by a score of Z to 5. The game
was fast and exciting as heavy hit
ting and good fielding featured It.
Siegrist, who started the game for
the locals, was wild and could not
get down to work. He weathered It
for seven innings and after having
the bags ill in this inning he was
relieved by Danley, who pitched good
bail, but the game was already lost.
lBreakviIIe, who pitched for the
visitors, was in hne form and had
the locals at his mercy in the pinches
as they were unable to hit when hits
meant runs, as at several stages OF
the game three men were left on the
bases when the team was retired.
Dawson, who up to the present
has been one of the fastest dielders
in the league, made poor showing
letting two pop flies go for hits,
which should have been easy outs.
one of them may have been Bever-
edges ball, but however, neither one
of them made an effort to get 1t.
In the same inning zinn or Smith
pulled hone as no one covered hrst
base when a slow grounder was nit
to the pitchers box. Both linn and
Smith tried to field Siegrist's ball
ana no one covered.
"A large crowd was out yesterday
and It seemed to please large num-
her of the fans to see the locals get
trimmed as they were roofing for
the visitors. 1T is all right for the
local people to treat the VISITING
teams right, but 1t is carrying. it too
far when they go to the gaines and
knock the home team and root Tor
the visitors.
A large number of fans were not
satisfied with the ,team the board Of
directors picked to play in the
games and for this reason they
knocked the home. team. Others
gave the reason for having their
hammers out that the umpires al
ways rob the visitors and help the
home team to win. Any one wit
Messing the game yesterday would
laugh at that. as Cook called two
decisions at first in the last innings
OF yesterdays game that were very
close and each one would have start
ed a batting rally that might have
won the game; and they we're called

PANAMA TRIP A SUCCESS.
Aviator Robert Fowler succeeds In
Getting Moving Picture Films.

Hon. r. l.. Douglass received ca
blegram Monday from Aviator Rob-
ert Fowler bearing date of the prev
ious day, stating that the intrepid
bird man had succeeded in flying
from ocean to ocean and getting a
perfect film of the great artificial
waterway. This film is z100 feet in
| Myth and will Withhold doubt prove
bonanza to both Mr.. Douglass, who
financed the undertaking, and Ayia-
tor Fowler, whose daring and ex-
pertness made possible the success of
the venture.
In this instance the third time
was the charm, for two aviators
made futile attempts to get moving
picture films of the canal, later
abandoning the idea as unfeasible.
Mr.. Fowler is now on his way to
New Orleans and will be met in New
York City by Mr.. Douglass within a
short time when arrangements will
be made to put the films on the mar
ket. There is little doubt that the
demand to see what Uncle Sam has
accomplished in the canal zone will
be so general that these Aims will
have great value and Mr.. Douglass is
already figuring his profits away up
towards six figures.

v. B. TERRELL WAS ACQUITTED
Trial Jury Returned Verdict
Early Yesterday Morning
Ending Murder Trial.

The trial of V. b. Terrell FOR the
killing of Louis Carrara near Camp
Terrell last May resulted in a find
ing of justifiable homicide by the
jury, which returned the verdict late
Monday night after being out sever
al hours. The case was stubbornly
fought by District Attorney T. c.
Hart and associate counsel. A. Grant
bons and E. E. Winters for the de-
fense. Throughout the entire trial,
the chief object sought to be shown
by the defense was that Terrell shot
only when he deemed his life i'm
periled. The states efforts were di-
rected toward showing that the kill
ing OF Louis Carrara and the serious
wounding of George Flessa was
premeditated act on the part of the
defendant and that he shot without
justification or warrant.
At the outset of the trial District
Judge L. N. French ruled that the
ownership of the claim could not fg-
ure in the evidence to be submitted
and the states efforts were confined
chiefly to attempting 20 prove that
Terrell went to the hillside cut
whore Carrara and Flessa were work
ing with the prime motive of slaugh-
ter and that subsequent events aris-
ing did not include show of bellig~
erency on the part OF the men who
suffered at his hands.
The evidence of the many Witness
es examined concerned events lead
ing up to and following the actual
shooting as none but the man killed,
and the survivors of the conflict,
George Flessa and v. B. Terrell
know of the actual occurrence which
must go down in local court annals
as a fully justified tragedy of the
hills. Both Flessa and Terrell occu-
pied the witness stand at different
times, their stories being altogether
contradictory.
The following are the jurors who
passed upon the case and rendered
the conclusion: G. M. Powell, W. @.
Sheckler, j. S. Smelzer, Albert L.
Hardy, Frank A. Austin, S. F. Har.
dy, Dana G. Putnam, Ed Green, L. G.
Ayers, Chas. H. Cress, F. A. Dalton,
