PARTY
 OPPOSES COALITION
 WITH REPUBLICANS

New Haven. March 24-The state cen- tral committee of the progressive party placed itself on record here today as firmly opposed to any coalition with the republican party, decided to put a full ticket in the field at the next state elec- tion and criticized the democratic admin. istration's policy of regulation of trusts and corporations.
 A set of resolutions declares the ad- ministration's remedy for the corporate business of this country is to regulate it by destroying it. The resolution says:
 '"rhe most striking example Of this is in the absured handling of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad situa- tion where two men, the attorney gen. eral of the United States and the presi- dent of the railway, are determining in secret conferences the transportation con. ditions for the 100000 people of New England"
 Of the republicans, the resolution say:
 '"rhey cannot win without the progress sives and they know 1t, and they cannot long survive without winning. Their situation is hopeless

 Recommends County Buildings Be Painted

The county poorhouse had seven inmates. two of whom were white, and the jury recommended that these buildings be painted.
 Books of county officials were all in good order. only one minor official whose bond was not sufficient The attention of automobile owners is called to the con tinued reckless driving on. the public highways, and the failure to stop when approaching wagons and other vehicles. and the jury warns them if this admoni- ton is not regarded that more drastic action be taken by the future grand juries.
 Justices of peace are criticized for the continued manner in which they send large numbers of useless witnesses be- fore this body, incurring heavy cost to the county and producing little public good. The report is signed by Richard E. Seawell as foreman.

SOME INTERESTING
 FACTS CONCERNING
 BALDWIN COUNTY

Montgomery, March 24-(Specia! /, Some interesting facts about Baldwin county the largest in the state. are given by Examiner of Public Accounts
 J. T. German. who has just completed an examination of the books and accounts of officials of that county. During the past 10 years, according g to Examiner German, the population Of the county has increased at the rate of nearly 100 per cent This remarkable increase in population is due to the location in the county of a large num- her of people from the west, represent ing Greek, German and Italian nation alities.
 The county has an area of 160o square miles, and is almost exclusively
 agricultural. MT. German further states | that the county Is rapidly developing l into fruit growing section, more than 100000 Satsuma orange trees having , been sold in the Mobile district during
 the past year. ghe examiner declares | that land which was purchased 10 years ago at 8 and $10 an acre is now sell : l ing at $50 to $100 an acre. There is no question but what in a few years south Alabama will equal Florida, Louisiana and California in the | production of oranges" says Examiner German.
 MT German states that Baldwin is
 the largest county in the state con-
 taining over 1900 square miles, and that the population is increasing very rap- idly, the increase being very nearly
 100 per cent from 1900 to 1910. l Baldwin is almost exclusively an agricultural county. ! Large numbers of people have
 moved into the county from the west
 and there are Greek, German and Ital
 ian colonies in the county. At present the greatest improve
 ment and development are in the south
 ern part of the county Property is rapidly appreciating in

 chased 10 years ago for $5 to $10 per
 acre are now being sold at $50 to $1OU | per acre.

Louisiana and California in the production of oranges. | b This section has delightful and lsalubrious climate and a fine soil that will produce almost every variety of vegetables fruits and farm products. 'The railroads and commercial or
 ganizations are doing all they can for

 Tyler was not in good condition last night, and the balls rolled badly for him. He can play Morgan better game than he played him last night. The two play CTS are clever young men, and the mem- bers of the club were thoroughly appre- ciative of their good work and enter tainment They will probably meet again under the auspices of the club.

I. w. w. LEADER ON
 TRIAL IN NEW YORK

New York, March 24.-when the trial of Frank Tannenbaum, the youthful lead CT of the Industrial Workers of the World. was begun in court of general sessions here today, a throng of his followers who attempted to enter the courtroom were refused admittance. The defendant led a mob of idle men that invaded St. Alphon- sus church March and demanded place to sleep. This was refused them, and in the subsequent turmoil nearly 200 men and one woman were arrested. Tannenbaum is accused of participating in an act of unlawful assemblage at the church and with remining unlawfully after having been warned by a policeman to leave.
 In his address to the jurX the prose- cutor indicated that Tannenbaum in a speech to the unemployed in Rutgers square before the descent on the church did not confine himself to orderly re- marks but told the men if they would follow him he would lead them to a church. and if food was denied them there to a bake shop.
 A transcript of Tannenbaum's speech in Rutgers square was read to the jury.

'OVER S2OOOSECURED ON FIRST
 DAY OF CHARITIES CAMPAIGN

and Philanthropy This is the organization charities in that great and progressive city, Orphan asylums, hospitals, ohil- dren's aid work, dispensaries for babies boy scouts, neighborhood houses. anti tuberculosis league, nursing association, employment bureau, Salvation Army, Volunteers of America, Young Womens Christian association, various "homes" for dependent persons some of the federated organiza tions in this movement. have counted no less than 10 hospitals and hospital associations on the list. Catholic and Protestant are lined side by side on equal terms. The income from various sources, the income from andow- ments. the income through the federation are specified in this Year Book. It is shown, for instance that the As sociated Charities of Cleveland has a total income of s66,2S1.21 from contrbu- tions. s1072. .16 from endowments. and S1i,- 9S5.5O from all other sources. This means a grand total for this one organization of $S2, ,33SS7
 Another instance may be quoted in the case of Hiram House, which is one of the great atest neighborhood house works in the whole county. They carry on classes, clubs, fine playground, Progress City" d summer camp and so on. They build up manhood and womanhood in men and
 
 generally fulfill all the functions of neighborhood center. They spent last year in all, $4s, ,464 i3 and they ministered to all races of the earth.
 Facts like these open vistas of social unity, putting the whole strength of the entire community, its sanity and courage, into every broken life and home. The specializing or unfying of the whole com munity is the ideal beginning to be real ized on a small scale in Cleveland.
 A striking illustration of such service is reported by the Children's Aid society of this city. The story begins with widow with two girls. The mother is simply incompetent, has no skill to man. age life. and under the burden of it ac- tually cut herself adrift and left the chill dren. They were reported by a neighbor anc lodged at the home on South Eff teenth street. After there months cor respondence a relative was found to take the children. It was cousin. The so- ciety sent visitor to test the propriety of placing the youngest child there. Things proved all right. Little Willie was safely established and the strength and wisdom of the society was thus brought to bear on an otherwise hopeless problem

WILL
 CARRY ST. CLAIR

Ashville, March 24.-(Special)-The To- litical situation at the beginning of this week shows that Oscar w. Underwood will carry the county by good ma jority, while Conner will lead in the gov ernor's race, Henderson will run second, with Walter D. Seed close in the race.
 The interest in the various other offices Is small, with the exception of the short term senator
 Last week Frank s. White made a speech at Ashville in the interest of his father and 1t is understood that he has reported to his headquarters that St. Clair will go for White, but this state ment is made without thought, for St. Clair is lined up solid for Senator Brown and he will get as many votes in the county as the other two candidates to- gether.
