having defrauded Dannan Cusmos, a
young Bulgarian miner in Pratt City, out
of the sum of sl27o. the result of four
years of patient saving, and for receiving
other moneys under false pretenses from
his countrymen.
The whole affair started several weeks
ago. An advance agent of the wrestlers
arrived in Birmingham and at once be-
gar to boost the prowess Of Alexander
sandow as mat artist. Finally the ad-
vance man announced that Sandow would
arrive the following day from Omaha.
Neb., and then he disappeared.
Claimed He had Been Fleeced
Sandow arrived the next day on sched-
ue and Immediately set up a howl that
his manager had skipped with $1,000 of his
funds, leaving him stranded in Birming
ham. This on being explained to the
Bu,garans. got their sympathy and loos-
ened up the strings on their money bags.
Having his expenses pafd and living on
the fat OF the land, Sandow then began
to plan for big stake and he and Jack
Mayer, German champion" were
matched to wrestle for the championship
of the world at the Bijou theatre last
Friday night The match didn't come off
on schedule for the simple reason that
Mayer and Sandow left the city the day
before Sandow, 1t Is alleged. having left
with about $1,000 taken from creduous en-
thusitsts of the wrestling game
The affair was placed In the hands OF
Detectives Jones and Propst. and Dannan
Cusmos swore out a warrant against San
dow before Judge II. b. Abernethy, al
leging false pretense, and the Bulgarians
who had been so free with their cash In
financing wrestling now turned their gold
to the detectives to apprehend the FAX
ers" kilograms containing descriptions
of Sandow, as we'll as photographs, were
sent to every important city in the United
States.
However it would have been very DIFF
ficult to apprehend Sandow had he not
decided to have his little joke. Sandow,
who undoubtedly has a most particular
sense of humor, wrote a letter from New
Orleans two days ago requesting Mr..
Chrlstoff to get some money for him, as
ha would quite probably need some very
soon. Christoff turned the letter over
to the detectives and "a telegram started
the New Orleans police to look for the
early hour yesterday morning and the Bir-
miDgham police Immediately notified.
Excited Friends Sympathy
In the tolls Sandow began to blubber.
and he must have excited the sympathy
OF some FRIEND" for the following mes
sage was received from New Orleans yes
terday morning by Christoff:
"G. Christoff. 2116 Second Avenue, North.
Birmingham:
please let Sandow out He is arrested.
and it Is very bad. He has good chance
to make big money and is going to pay
every cent to everybody. Now, II you
have heart, have him released that he
may make big money; otherwise he would
not. Please do this at once II you are
a man. Trusting you will do this for the
sake of Sandow A FRIEND"
Does that fellow think ! am crazy?"
asked Christoff yesterday, after reading

California Trouble Local


In addition to the business relation

boring for other people but work out
plans OF their own to obtain independ

81 am convinced that many of our peo-
pie will eventually come to this section of
America and start small gardens and

Just a little far away for the Japan

They win eventually come south and

needs small gardens and the like Of
that here at home instead of having
to import from other states practically
all that is used Our people are very
good In that sort OF work and they
add materially TO the wealth of any
section they emigrate to. The immi-
grafton of Japanese to this country, l
observe Is falling off slightly. We
have Fomosa and Manchurian lands to
develop and the government is en-
couraging that very strongly. That is
cutting down the number of immi-

ELECTED enthusiastic comment from Mr.
Bodman. who said that Birmingham was
the city OF the south"
In his talk before the farm movement
committee Mr., Bodnan confined himself
to the idea that the south ought to feed
itself. He stated natly that cotton did not
pay and therefore the cotton growers
ought to utilize their lands to raising
things that they could eat.
I'm Arkansas" said Mr. Bodman less
than per cent of the farmers and cotton
growers have a garden in which truck
Is raised. They feed on canned goods
bought from the north. Now why can't
the farmers of the south raise something
that they eat as we'll as sell?
Cotton has been the staple crop of the
south for so years or more. Is 1t profit
able? IT can hardly pay necessary ex.
penses as the cotton growers year in and
year out have to borrow TO finance their
crops. There is Just barely living In
growing cotton. SO the question arises as
to what shall be done now that the Euro
pean war and other things have upset the
cotton market

held in the office of the chairman, IL.

lawyers are soliciting patronage

Ia announcing the meeting Mr. Sims
issued the following explanatory state
ment:
"A great deal has been said and
written recently about the conduct of
certain members of the bar who de-
grade the standing of the profession
by soliciting cases through paid agents
or drummers. The law forbids such
should be condemned by every self
respecting member of~.he profession
Indeed, at the last meeting of the
State Bar association in Montgomery
last July, the subject was fully dis
cussed and condemnatory resolutions
adopted.
THE Alabama State Bar association
has a standing committee, called the
central council who are authorized
by the code of Alabama to institute
proceedings in the courts to disbar
from practicing our profession any
lawyer guilty of illegal acts or will
full misconduct in the practice of his
profession. Any person who is prepared
to prove that an Alabama lawyer has
been so conducting himself may bring
his charge in writing to that commit
tee, supported by an affidavit of the
Truth of the charge; and that commit
tee will investigate the charge. and II
they believe it true, will institute pro-
ceedings against the lawyer to stop his
practicing his profession.

posed of II. u. Sims as chairman, Y. T
Rudulph and e. D. Smith of Birmine-
ham, w. P. Acker of Admission and w.

who choose to bring them charging
Alabama lawyers with stirring UP liti-
gution by sending out employed agents,
or runners, as they are called, to 60
licit suits or claims for the lawyer to

AUTO HITS BARTLES' CAR.
Merchant Tries to Dodge Motor. But
1t Hits Him.

While coming from the ball game
Sunday afternoon, William Bartles
narrowly averted a serious head-on coll
lision with car being driven by a
man said to be from Portageville.
AS he came out of the fair grounds
gate into the Jackson road, Mr.. Bar
ties met the other car going west. The
drivers of both cars were apparently
taken by surprise, and both suddenly
turned to the same side Of the road in
their efforts to avoid each other.
Seeing that a collision was immi-
nent, Mr.. Bartles again turned his
car an dram straight into the vacant
lot on the south side of the road, but
in so doing came in slight contact
With the other MAGAZINE, tearing one
his tenders off.
The other driver became so excited
that he lost control of his auto and ran
directly into a small tree standing at
the side of the road.
He struck with such force that the
sapling bent and the car ran over it,
stripping one fender completely, be-
sides being considerably damaged in
other respects.
None of the occupants of either car
was hurt.

ALFALFA.

BY c. N. McWilliams, Farm Adviser.
A considerable number Of persons
had planned to sow alfalfa this fall. A
majority Of these have not been able
to get their fields in condition. In pre-
pairing a seed bed for alfalfa one Of
the most important factors is firm
we'll packed seed bed. This neeessi-
tates early breaking. 1t is practically
impossible to get firm seed bed
when the blowing is done immediate
1y before seeding. s ..,...~
Experience has proved that from
August 18th to September 1st is tho
best time for sowing the seed here.
Both earlier and later seedlings have
been successful, but as a rule the late
sowings, winter kills badly. Those
who already have their land worked
down in good shape are waiting for
moisture to SOW; few farmers are
intending to SOW alfalfa on oat stub
BILE. Because of the dry season The
oats ground has not packed to any
extent and double disking both ways
will put it in good condition. Both
ground limestone and manure will be
put on these pieces.
In all cases where the land has not
been plowed, there will be considera-
BILE doubt about obtaining 4 saitisfac-
tory stand next spring. Late seeded
alfalfa cannot make very much
growth to help it withstand the win
ter, and if it is sown on a loose seed
bed, thawing and freezing will heave
the young plants and kill many of
them.
Notwithstanding the extremely I'M
favorable season it is interesting to
note that all of the crushed limestone
available at the crusher near Jackson
has been used and several carloads
were shipped in from other points
This indicates that favorable year will
provide plenty Of business for a local
crusher.
