Admission, March 6.-(Special.) "Details
of the disaster of Thursday at Duke,
north of here in this county, where a ter
rife windstorm wrought great loss of life
and property. brings out Miss Virginia

that place as the heroine of the storm.
Early in the afternoon Miss Deaver no.

In storms before and recognized the
omen, as a result of which she dismissed
the school, saw several of the younger
children to their homes and then repaired
to her home. The school was closed at 3
o'clock and exactly 20 minutes later the
building was hattened out over the
ground. Had the school not been dis
missed as result of the teachers fore

The people of Duke, are, congratulating
Miss Deaver on her foresight and prompt

SHER|FF'S OFFICE
IS CRITICISED BY
THE GRAND JURY
State Many Arrested on
Trumped Up Charges
in Madison
County

Huntsville. March 15.-tspeeial y
The Madison county grand jury ha S
made its final report to Judge Bal
lentinc in the law and equity court
and it contains some severe criticism Of
prevailing conditions Attention is
called to the arrests doclSeted for the
grand jury's attention which are ab
solutely without merit and which are
generally preferred on charges actu-
ated by malice. The report says that
there seems to be no discretion by
the sherifrs force beyond the glimpse
of fee.
Attention is directed to the fact that
many arrests are made by deputies in
the Huntsville precinct on trnmped up
charges and defendants are taken be-
fore a Justice of the peace in Dallas
instead of before the inferior court.
, The grand jury chargesrthat this JUS
tice at Dallas, James Corum. Is abso-
lutely incompetent and should be dis
. charged
The report says that there seems to
be a premium upon lying before the
grand jury, principal witnesses in many
cases not hesitating 10 perjure them
selves Special attention is directed to
-tthird degree methods alleged to have
been employed by the police and dep
altes in cxtorting confessions from
prisoners and the report says that no
scvilized community should tolerate this
lpractice any longer. ,ee

er OF virtually naming the postmaster,
as his recommendation would be primarily
considered. Mr.. Blackmon also SAYS that
his recommendation would he made on a
basis Of the strength Of the petitions
presented TO him.
Mr. Williamson further AYERS that his
petition and that of Mr.. Reynolds were
the strongest presented to Congressman
Rlaclmon, and that ne regards the tele-
gram from Mr. Blackmon to mean that
Mr. REYNOLDS will get the appointment.
He says he believes that Mr.. Blackmon
is right in his attitude in the matter, and
that he feels no resentment at not being
able to land the place.
Mr. Reynolds, the probable appontee,
is pioneer business man. former MEM
Der of the legislature from Talladega
county, and member of one of Ala
bama's most aristocratic families. He is
a graduate of the Virginia Military In
stitute and has had a varied business
