ben f. Kolb, commissioner of agrl-

ment has received a large number of
reports concerning the spread of the

think there is any occasion for much
alarm on the part of the farmers, de-
claring that a systematic campaign
should be started against the pests.
Il will spend several days in the
clared, "and will discuss with farmers

LIFE SAVING DEVICE
Demonstrated at East Lake Last
Night by w. J. Staples

Before a large gathering last night at
East Lake, w. J. Staples of North Caro-
lima demonstrated the possibilities of a
new life preserver for use on the river
and ocean steamers. The device Is in
tended to supersede the old time circular
life preserved which has in the past few
years is said to have proved inefficient
and unsafe in all of the great ocean and
river disasters.
The device demonstrated by Captain
Staples consists of an inflated union suit
that can be slipped on and adjusted al
most in the same time that it takes to
adjust a life preserver. 1t also protects
the wearer from the cold and icy waters
that sometimes prevail who an ocean ac-
cident happens. The device is the in
vention of j. w. Buchanan of Asheville
and has received the indorsement of
river and seagoing experts wherever
shown.
At the demonstration last night Cap
tain Staples who weighs over DO POI q Is,
jumped into the lake fully dressed with
the life saving device or suit oely par
TALLY adjusted. He stood perpendicular
in the water nearly an hour and sent up
rockets which he produced from pockets
in the suit, burned signal fuses, dlned
and enjoyed a smoke, all the While float
ing around in the water. At the con-
clusion of the demonstration, captain
Staples was perspiring freely, showing
the warmth of the new device.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Abolishing Convict Lease System

10 the Editor of The Age Herald
-Ihis card is not intended as an argu-
ment but written to thank you for pub
fishing in your paper the Invitation of
the committee to the people of the state
TO meet in Birmingham on next Saturday
Tor the purpose of taking further steps
to stop the sale of convicts in Alabama
When the call for the conference that
raised the present committee was agreed
upon in chance meeting between Cap
tain White, Judge Ray and myself, we
had in mind evils in the mineral sec
tions, and Were unaware of the awful
camps, where convicts are being worked
under private employment.
In writing that call | was reminded of
the two young boys sent to Banner mines
from this county ~ the offense lawful
in the sight of some fee grabbers) of rid
ing freight train, and two other young
boys that were sent to the same mines
from an adjoining county for asking for
bread; all of WHOM, with many others.
lost their lives in the terrible Banner ex-
plosion.
The defenders of the lease system do
not. so far l have heard, contend that
it Is right, but say we need the revenue
Since the Israeltes became slaves to lie
Egyptians this has been one of the eX-
cuses offered for the continuances OF
wrong.
We expect representatives from all parts
of the state, and hope that an organi-
zation may be perfected which will soon
present the facts to the people, that
after the next legislature acts, human
beings will no longer pass to the high
est bidder in Alabama w. c. DAVIS.

oeed with its plans of organizing for

TECK DUNCAN HERE
ON WAY TOF[AT TOP
Will Be Placed in Charge of
Air Courses at the
Mines There

Teek Duncan, formerly of Lewisburg
and state convict serving a life sem
tenee, arrived in Birmingham from
Wetumpka last night under charge of
State Transfer Agent j. f. Irwin He
passed the night in the county Jail and
will be taken to Flat Top mines this
morning.
1t was said that at the Flat Top mines
Duncan will be put in charge of the air
courses.
1t is regarded as a significant fact that
the removal of Teck Duncan from
Wetumpka comes so shortly after his
confession of the acutal happenings at
Lewisburg which finally terminated in
the killing of Felix Ellard.
At Flat Top mines the work Duncan
will be required to do is very important,
but not at all arduous. In fact he will
not be treated as a prisoner, but will be
placed in charge of a gang of men to
operate the air courses or the ventilation
of the mine. 1t was said that this posi-
tion was given to Duncan because of his
efficiency a practical miner

BELIEVED TERMS
ARE ACCEPTED

London, June 1a-Official confirmation
of the news of the acceptance of Russian
arbitration by the Balkan allies is still
Ia ackine, but diplomatic circles believe
the report to be correct.
Bulgaria desires arbitration Immediately
and as a consequence is opposed to the
meeting of the four premiers, as that
would tend to delay matters. The pro-
posed meeting of the premiers were pr-
marily responsible for the fall of the
GueclAff cabinet. which is likely, under
the new circumstances, to remain in
power.
Bulgaria felt that she would be out
numbered if the premiers met, and while
consistently opposing such a meeting, has
as consistently demanded Russian arbitra-
ton. Greece also desired Russia's aid 10
settle the quarrel, and Servia was re-
luctantly compelled to assent.
