ORE LANDS VALUED AT MILLIONS ARE IN.
 DISPUTE IN CALHOUN
w. R. Burt of Michigan Files Suit Against Woodward Interests for Divi-
 sion or Sale
By HARRY M. AYERS

Anniston, July 5.-(Special. )-The
 north is arrayed against the south in
 a suit for division or sale of valuable
 ore lands in this county, probably
 worth millions of dollars in which tes-
 timony Is now being taken by commits
 sioners here. The principals are the
 Woodwards of Birmingham together
 with Henry w Savage of Anniston. against W. R. Burt of Saginaw, Mich.
 former governor and multlmillionaire.
 Several years ago MT. Savage dis
 covered the valuable are deposits near here, following which he and MT. Burt
 purchased the property conjointly. ac-
 quiring possession of 5000 acres, in ad- dition to several hundred acres of valuable timber lands. Later Mr. Say age wanted to develop the property and the Woodward Iron company was formed by himself, the woodwards and Judge J. J. Willett of Anniston MT. Burt wants the property equally divided. rather than sold and the pro- eeeds apportioned equally The Wood ward company objects to this on the ground that 1t would be negotiable on account of the inability to determine the deposits accurately They want the sale for division of proceeds Experts are now being examined, following which the testimony will be laid before
 Probate Judge John F. Rowan for de- cree Regardless of ths decision how ever, it is said that the case will 20 to
 the supreme court.
 Extensive Developments Planned t-.. l.. deposits of brown ore In Alabama and the Woodwards are said to have
 planned developments, to which Burt objects. A railroad has been projected and several thousand dollars has al- ready been spent in experiments and prospecting.
 w. R. Burt Is said to be largo holder of South American bonds, a director in the United States Steel cor
 poration and controls 10000 acres of timber lands in Calhoun and Clemurne counties. He controlled and developed the famous Massaba ore fields on Lake Superior and has other large interests
 Although approximately so years old
 his mind is said to be as active as ever, and he is a vertable wizard of finance, shrewd and resourceful in all his dealings
 Mir. Savage has built palatial coun- try home near the mines, overlooking the celebated Choccolocco valley and commanding fine views of Horseblock
 mountain and Pulpit rock. among the highest points in the south.

American manufacturers.
Ever since the war began American
industries dependent upon German
products have been seriously threat
ended. owing to the difficulty of getting
any goods from Germany. The mate
rails involved are dye stuffs, medicine,
textiles, leather. paints. inks. pharma-
oeutical chemicals, cyanide, sugar beet
seeds. and potash.
The cotton industry was on the verge
OF serious stoppage for the lack OF
dyes; drug manufacturers were con-
fronting a famine of pharmaceutical
chemicals, and the mining industry was
feeling the lack of cyanide supplies.
Tentative arrang emepts have been
made with the Berlin government for
the execution of the American plan for
getting tho much needed materials
from Germany.
The cor ference Of today was called
by the state department after word
was received that Germany weslla Co

and agriculture were present At the
conference today. 1t Is believed by
