No. 6. HENRY HUDSON
Copyright 1913 by The Associated Newspaper School, Inc

a fine time, and wanted some moSe
of the strange liquor This encour-
aged the rest of the braves to try 1t,
and soon the entire tribe was intoxi-
Gated.
That is the Indian legend of the
discovery by Henry Hudson of the
great river that has been named
after him. 1t was in September. 1909.
that the little Half Moon sailed into
the mouth of the Hudson river. and
it's navigator landed on Manhattan
island But Hudson never dreamed
that only three hundred years from
that time this small wooded bit of
land would be part of the second
greatest city in the world-New York.
In fact. he was not there to found a
city. He had but one idea-to dis
cover northwest passage to India.
Contrary to the belief of many peo-
pie. Henry Hudson was not Dutch
man, but an Englishman and a citi-
zen of London. He was born there in
the latter part of the sixteenth cen
fury.
Hudson made his first voyage in
1907, and his second in 1908. 1t was
on his third voyage, in 1909, that he
explored the Hudson river. The sur
rounding country was seen to be
pleasant and fertile and full of game
They found few hostile sayages, and
did q great deal of profitable trading
with the peaceful Indians.
On his fourth and last voyage Hud-
son sailed from England in the Dis
covery to seek a northwest passage
He did not accomplish his purpose;
but he did discover the great bay
that now bears his name. The provi-
sions on the ship ran low, and his
crew mutinied under the leadership
of Robert Juet. Finally, Hudson was
thrust into an open boat, together
with his little son John, and seven
sick sailors, and the boat cut adrift
Thus he persisted on midsummer's
day of 1911 in that great waste Of
waters which is 'his. tomb and his
monument"

Lot on Eighth Avenue Will
Probably Be Used for
Revival

Indications are that the tabernacle to
be erected by the religious organizations
of the city in which to hold the big re-
vival at which Evangelist Gypsy Smith
will officiate, will be located in a vacant
lot belonging to the city on Eighth ave-
nue. between Capitol and East End parks,
1t is stated that the lot is of ample size
and an ideal location
After an inspection of East End park
by City Commissioner James Weatherly.
the Rev. A. j. Dickinson, Street Commits
sioner Gafford, the city park superintend-
ent and other officials, Mr. Weatherly
stated yesterday that the city would per-
nit the erection of a tent In East End
park In which the revival might be held
but would not permit tabernacle to be
constructed of lumber to be erected there
as it would damage the park too much
lin various ways and make it unavailable
for playground purposes for some three
or four weeks.
Mr.. Weatherly states the vacant LOT on
Eighth avenue is an ideal Site having
natural drainage and being of ample di-
mensions The lot was purchased by the
city many years ago with the intention
OF erecting there a negro school. but
the objections of the abutting property
holders We're so strenuous that the mat
ter was dropped and the property has
been lying idle and vacant ever since.

DENNY COMING TO
BIRMINGHAM TODAY
Will Confer With Local Citizens in
Regard to Improvement of Free
Dispensary Quarters

To confer with prominent men of this
city in regard to the Improvement and
enlargement of the quarters of the Uni
versity of Alabama Free dispensary in
this city. DR.. George H. Denny, president
of the university, will be in Birmingham
tonight.
Nothing has been given out as to the
exact business which brings DR.. Denny to
the city, except that it concerns the dis
pensary. 1t was learned yesterday that
several of the well known men of the
city had an engagement with the univer-
sity president. The dispensary on Avenue
F and Twentieth street has been greatly
crowded and placed at a disadvantage
lately by the lack of sufficient quarters.
This Is the first time the dispensary has
ever been operated all summer, the
change being made recently when the
Birmingham Medical college became a
part OF the state university as a grad
uate school Of medicine. The number of
patients 30 far this summer has been
exceptionally large.
DR.. Denny IL expected to arrive in the
city over the Alabama Great Southern
this evening.

CONVICT CLAIMS
WORK ON ROADS
AGREES WITH HIM
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Brought to Show Ill Treat
ment Prove Fiasco
is WE'LL PLEASED
WITH TREATMENT
Anthony Harris Was Only Witness
and Petition Was Withdrawn by
Attorney at Completion
of His Testimony

The habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Attorney w. ]. Martin,
seeking the release of Anthony Har-
ris. a white convict employed on the
roads of the county, ended in a fiasco
when Harris told the court he was
never better treated in his life and
that he much preferred working on the
roads of the county than In the mines.
The case was heard yesterday aft
ernoon before Judge C. c. Nesmith OF
the city court and was brought TO a
sudden close at the conclusion or the
testimony of Harris, In whose behalf
the proceedings were brought when
Attorney Martin withdrew the peti-
ton.
An amusing incident happened DUR
ing the hearing. Harris stated that hc
had been approached by an attorney
tn make complaint and when asked to
designate him, pointed to Judge Me-
smith. He later rectihed his mistake.
Harris was the only witness put on
the stand and in direct examination
bv Mr.. Martin denied in toto and en-
phatically every allegation of the pes
tition.
The petition was signed by W. j.
Martin in and for Anthony Harris and
alleged that Harris was innocent OF
the charge of which he had been con-
victed; that the order of the board of
revenue consigning the convtcts on
the roads was unlawfully made; that
the petitioner was required to wear
shackles, and that he was subjected
to unusual cruel and inhuman treat
ment inasmuch as the said shackles had
made large sores on his person; that
he was unable to procure medical
treatment thereby and that he was
permanently dishgured and disabled.
The petition also alleged that he was
compelled to wear clothing that had
been worn by others which subjected
him to infectious diseases.
Demurrers to the petition We're filed
by W. X Terry, attorney for the board
of revenue, in which every allegation
was declared to be untrue and were
donied separately and severaliy. Mr..
Terry asked the court to proceed with-,
out his rulings on the demurrers and
to take the case on its merits
Harris was brought into court and
placed on the witness stand. After
stating he was a convict on the coun-
ty roads and that he did not have to
work hard he was asked If he wore
shackles.
Yes. sir"
Are they calling or have they pros
duced sores?
mo, SIR and for further answer
Harris barred his legs to the knee
which were without spot or blemish.
Cross-examined by Mr. Terry.
How are you treated at the camp%'
"They treat me as good as a per-
son could be treated: / get good food.
sleep well and every one is kind to
me-"
do you receive medical attention?'
Yes, sir"
Would you rather work on the roads
than in the mines?'
Il had much rather be on the roads,
What change has been made in your
physical condition since you have been
on the roads?
81 have gained about 80 pounds"
After a few questions by Judge Ne
smith Mr.. Martin withdrew the petl-
tion and the cause was dismissed.

Congressman Will Be Glad to Tell People Why He Opposes
Womans Suffrage Says Propaganda is Supported BY
"Old Maids Unhappy Married Women and
Cranks or Faddists''

Congressman Hefiin will accept the invi-

deliver his speech against woman's suf-
frage in Jasper in the near future.
'The invitation" stated Mr.. Heflin while
In Birmingham yesterday, signed by sew
eral hundred voters of Walker county, has

other opportunity to visit Alabama l will
run down to Jasper and make the speech.

men. cabmen, taxieab drivers steam rail
road engineers, certain classes of station
ary engineers and others have to secure a
license of this nature and 1t is claimed
that street car motormen are licensed in
other cities.
1t has been suggested by a member of
the city commission that such a license
would be of no financial gain TO the city
on account of state law making it neces-
sary for such licenses to be deducted from
the intangible tax of the corporation and
as the intangible tax is more than the
license would total. the city would re-
ceive no financial benefit The only ben
eft to be derived would be a guarantee
that the motormen OF the street cars were
familiar with the oity's traffic laws.
The matter is being investigated and
something further will probably be heard
from it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-11

will give my reasons for 50 stating and
so believing.
"The other day in New York, Inez Mill
holland. the we'll known suffrage leader.
while presiding over a debate. stated that
the three big issues of the day were So
cialism, woman's suffrage and higher
right to question the existence of the
Deity. In other words, she is driving at
the republic through socialism, the home
through equal suffrage and the Christian
religion through her higher criticism.
This tends to show just how serious the
agitation of female suffrage Is.
Il still adhere to my opinion that the
equal suffrage propaganda is supported
by old maids unhappy married women
and cranks or faddists. 1 do not believe
that the people of Alabama will ever vote
to permit woman to mingle with those
who invariably infest the ballot booths
