Those Similar Bids

On the face of the statement it did look
as though the bids recently received by
the navy department at Washington for
armor plate We're made up after the sew
eral bidders had compared notes and come
TO an agreement The similarity of the
bids did. it is said here justly arouse
the suspicion of the navy department.
yet there is exeellept authority FOR re-
porting shat this Similarity was due en-
tirely to action taken by the Secretary of
the Navy In President Taft's administra-
ton. He fixed certain standard price
for armor plates. The bidders who re-
Gently made the offering presumed that
the ruling OF Secretary Meyer still re-
mained in force. There is good reason
to presume that the United States Steel
corporation. or at least some members
Of the executive board. would without
any regret sell to the government It's
plants for the manufacture of armor plate.
II Is very difficult to operate these plants
80 as to make them remunerative. There
is practically only one market for the
product and that is the United States
navy. although South America and some
of the smaller nations infrequently enter
the market.

praise But he said ut was NOT neces7
sary for Mr. Unteinlyer to hold CONVEX
sation with any of the bankers on the
continent of Europe in order to secure
the information which he has embodied
in this report. 1t WAS not necessary for
the administration at Washington to ask
Mr.. Untermyer to obtain this information,
because there is not single statement
in the report, not one line of informa-
ton in it. which could not have been OBJ
tanned from the report of the national
monetary commission. If this report,
therefore, was of any influence with those
who drafted the currency bilL then it
could be said without any great varia-
tion from the facts that after all the bill
was drafted along certain lines upon in

CONFERENCE PLANS

Admission. September 17.--1Special.)
With an attendance of about $50 at
the four white schools of the city and
an estimated enrolment of 400 at the
negro schools. more teachers for the
Admission public schools are declared
to be imperatively needed by Superin-
tendent d. r. Murphy, who thinks the
enrolment at the schools of the city
will reach at least 1900 by the end of
the week.
The enrolment at present is not so
large as it was last year at the same
time, due. 1t is believed TO the fact
that many students are going to pri-
mary and intermediate departments of
private schools and to slow rate of
matriculation. However, Mr.. Murphey
says that the two teachers who were
dropped from the teaching force in
the white schools will have to be re-
stored At present there are s6 white
teachers and seven negroes.
The school census shows that there
are 400 persons in Anniston between
the ages of and 81 years of age, Of
which number 21oo are white. As a
rule. about so per cent of the eligible
white children enter the public SCHOOLS
and Is per cent of the negro children,

CIRCUIT COURT.
June Term Convenes With Judge r. l.
Stout Presiding.

The June term of the Bourbon Cir
ciut Court convened yesterday morn
ing with Judge r. l.. Stout presiding
The morning session was devoted tC
empaneling the grand jury, when the
presiding judge delivered his instruc
tions of the body, and the hearing Of
motions.
Judge Stout in his charge to the
grand jury pointed them to all infrac
tons of the law, and impressed upon
them the Importance of Investigating
any alleged violations of the game
laws that were brought before them
by the county game warden and if the
evidence warranted, indictments
should be returned.
He referred in complimentary words
to the manner in which Mr.. J. O.
Ward, of Bourbon county, was conduct
ing the affairs of the State Fish and
Game Commission and said he was de-
serving of all the assistance the grand
juries of the counties in this district
could give.
Judge Stout called the attention of
the grand jury to the minor infrae,
tions of the law, which he said would
lead to larger crimes If the accused
were permitted to go unpublished.
After repeating a portion Of the
charge delivered to the Woodford
county grand jury last month during
the term of court in that county, re.
garding bribery and vote buying he
allowed them to retire to their room
to begin their deliberations.

following: J. d. Booth, foreman; Law
renee Horton, George Rassenfoss, w.
K. Haley, r. D. Adair, James w. Fer.

NEW SEWERAGE SYSTEM
For Eastern Section of the City Is
Now Under Consideration.

Steps toward the installation of a
sewerage system for the Eastern
part of the city were taken last week
when Mayor J. T. Hinton had a corps
of civil engineers making a survey Of
the proposed route of the system.
This matter was discussed at a recent
meeting of the city council and Mayor
Hinton was instructed to have the
route surveyed by a competent engi-
ncer and a report will be made at the
next meeting of the city council
DR.. Mark, of Bowling Green, chief
engineer of the State Board of Health,
was in the city Friday going over thc
grouno. He was of the opinion the
system could be constructed to met
the desired end but suggested thar
in event the desired grade could net
!csecure0, publication tanks could be
installed to meet the requirements.
At present, South Main street, be-
yOnd Fourteenth, and all the eastern
SHE Of the city are without sewera ge,
and it is the intention to supply sew
erage az soon as practicable to all
parts of the city. The plan is to lay
d line along south Main street to
connect with line which will run
down the line of the l.. & N. tracks
through Vine street, and connect with
a main line to be laid on Stoner Ave
nue., which last will be carried along
the retaining wall of the L. & n. tracks
by the mill-dam, and connect with the
main sewer at the crossing. of the lat
ter over Houston creek.
1t is the desire of the Mayor and
council tina this work shall be so
done as not only to give proper sewer
connections to South Main and all the
eastern part of the city, but to pro-
vide at the same time for the future
growth of the city east of the railroad
All sewerage systems installed or
extensive additions to old sewers must
by law be so constructed as to meet
the requirements of the State Board
of Health and to that end the Mayor
has secured the services of DIR. Mark
to look over the situation, and advise
as to the best plan to be adopted II
it is found practicable to connect this
line with the Main street line at the
crossing of Houston creek. it is
thought that the difficulty may be solv
ed by the erection of one. or more
publication tanks and the discharge
of the sewerpipes through these tanks
into Stoner creek.

FARMER
FIGHTS FOR
HIS LIFE
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

10y omttu ITeSS lcdscu WIFcsI
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. IA
Depending on the newest medf-
cal theory that the ssomach VIII
digest food even after the body
is dead, attorneys for William
Flege, convicted of killing his
sister, are today fighting in
court to free the wealthy young
farmer. They offered the testi-
mony of Drs. Ludwig Heckstrom
and Raynes of Chicago, who ex-
amined the woman's stomach
after disinterment, and said that
she had been killed at least
three hours after she had eaten
meal. The fact that the food
was digested shows this, they
say.
The state attorneys are at
tempting to disprove this by
showing that the stomach was
pushed around while the sur
geons were probing for the bull
let. No motive Is known for the
crime. Flege is making mis- ar-
peal for third trial, the last
time having been sentenced to
10 years.
