OAKLEY FACES TRIAL
ON LARCENY CHARGE
IN SHELBY TODAY

>----~----------~------>-
a pathetic incindent, one of the saddest
according to reports that has taken place
in connection with the convict department
scandal Sheriff Oakley served the five
capiases on his brother and offered him
no advantages that could not be given
TO another prisoner, though allowing him
every opportunity to make bond.
Oakleys total bond now aggregates
500, 900 the bond for $4,000 originating in
county. This amount is ex-
elusive of the Shelby county bond, ON
which he was placed when he was arrest
ed for the embezzlement and larceny of
$3507 Is, which he is alleged to have drawn
out of the Bibb county bank at Centre
vile, as president, and deposited in the
Monteva1lo Bank and Trust company to
his own personal credit.
The Montgomery county grand jury last
week returned six indictments against
Oakley, but capiases were only served on
five of them the sixth indictment having
been found to correct errors in one which
failed to stand the legal test several
months ago.
The trial of Oakley In the Montgomery
city court has been set for March 4, but
IL Is thought that the defense will ask
for postponement. A large number of
prominent citizens of Montgomery will
q pea as witnesses when he is called be-
fore the bar.

LACY MAY NOR
APPEAR AS WITNESS

Montgomery, February 1S-(Special) }
Although Theo Lacy, alleged defaulter of
state convict department. funds to tie
amount of nearly 100000, has been sum-
moned to appear as a witness for James
G. Oakley, former president of the state
board of convict inspectors. VINO will be
tried in the Shelby county circuit cour:
tomorrow on indictments charging the
embezzlement of more than $500 of state
funds, it is most improbable that he will
be able to appear in behalf of the de-
fendant.
Lacy is held in the Montgomery county
jail in default of bond In the sum of
S72,000 and there is little likelihood that
he will be taken to Columbiana, where
Oakley will be tried, to appear as a wit
ness for the former head OF the con-
vict bureau.
Lacy was subpoenaed today to appear
as a witness for oakley. but there Is
much doubt entertained among lawyers
as to the right of. the Sheriff of Mont
gomery county to allow the alleged de-
faulter to leave Montgomery county. Up
to a late hour tonight it had not been
determined whether or not Lacy would
be taken to Coumbiana to testify in
behalf of Oakley.
1t is contended by the state that Sher-
iff Horace Hood has no autnorIty TO take
Lacy outside of the county without
Specific oTutT from the SnelDE cOuiilN
court. On the other hand it is declared
that Oakley has a right, Under the con-
stitution, to summon Lacy as witness
Attorneys Silent
None of the attorneys on the case would
express an opinion on the question, though
il was learned that Iacy's lawyers will
attempt to secure his release on habeas
corpus if he is taken OUTSIDE OF Mont
gomery county.
When Sheriff Hood received notice TO-
day that Lacy had been summoned as
a witness in behalf of Oakley, he ar
nourced that he would send the former
clerk of the convict department to CO.
lumbiana tomorrow under neavy guard.
Later ii was learned that the sheriff had
not decided what he womd do In the
matter.
The governor has not given an order
for Lacy's removal from sne Montgoni-
cry county Jail, and it is understood
that he is strongly opposed TO the prop
osition. The governor, il is declared,
is inclined to the opinion mat there is
no authority for the TRANSFER of Lacy
outside of the county to appear as Wit
ness for Oakley.
In addition to Lacy, Oakley has sum-
moned as witnesses in mis- behalf
number of leading state officials, IN
cluding State Auditor c. Brooks Smith,
J. II. Nunnelee and w. b. Moore of
the auditors department.
Should Sheriff Hood decide at the last
moment to allow Lacy to go to Coluin-
biana to appear as witness for Oakley.
1t is likely that a strong effort will be
made to retain Lacy on naDeas corpus
proceedings just as soon as he leaves
the county.
Lacys attorneys are keeping close
watch on the situation, ana they Will
take advantage of every possible loop
hole that will serve to benent their client
Should Lacy leave tomorrow ror Column
biana, it is certain that one of his at
torneys will accompany him, and, there
fore, the fight for his conviction may
be transferred to a county outside OF
Montgomery.

1T is true that we have expended about
S400, 600 of our own money In construct
Ing this canal on our own territory, and
that democratic House of Representa-
tives, a republican Senate. by an over
whelming majority, Mn Taft, the Presi-
dent of the Unitetd States. and the demo-
cratic national convention, all thought
we had perfect right to permit our own
ships engaged in our domestic commerce
to go through free of tolls il We saw fit
to do so.
But England claims that this must
not be done without her consent though
her ships cannot engage in our domestic
commerce, and she has not directly or in
directly invested a dollar in the construc
ton of the CANAL
Concluding after frequent interruptions,
the Kansas senator declared that "the
fight to save the grip of the transcon-
tinental railroads cannot be hidden behind
our relations to foreign countries or the
skirts of the President of the United
States"
Senator owen of Oklahoma was the
first to rise to the Presidents defense.
He asserted that the conscience of no
democrat was bound by the Baltimore
platform on the tolls question because it
did not represent the sober judgment of
the party on that point.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, who
voiced the first formal opposition to the
President within the party ranks, said:
1t is a matter of history that the rail-
ways of this country, particularly the
transcontinental railways, prevented the
construction of the Panama canal for
years and when the question OF granting
coastwise vessels freedom from tolls was
under discussion here in the Senate, those
of us who knew the lobbyists of the rail-
way companies could look up in any Of
the galleries and recognize the faces of
| Mr.. Schwerin and other men who were
lobbying for the railway companies here
and opposing this part of the Panama
canal act. Having failed to defeat the
building of the canal, they now invade
the field of diplomacy.
Where Are We to Stop?
| Where are we going to stop? Are we
going to listen to an insistence which
may be made hereafter by some foreign
power against railway owned ships pass
ing through the canal? That violates the
i treaty as much as the free tolls provision
Are We going to dismantle our fortsas Are
We going to say that our naval vessels
must pay tolls?' Senator McCumber re-
publican, replied briefly in the Presidents 8
defense. declaring he did not Join with
| Senator Bristow in charging that the
President was the ''tocl OF the transcon-
tinental railroads"
| Senator Shively, acting chairman Of
| the foreign relations committee, ended the
! discussion with the declaration that there
Congress would settle. and that the Presi-
dent needed no defense.
'"The Presidents position" said he s1s
well understood by the country and by
| the difficulties of the situation are like
wise understood by the country"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-19
VIGOROUS DEBATE ON
TOLLS PROVISION is
HELD IN THE SENATE
tContinueA from Pare one,


tor Lodge of Massachusetts, republican
member of the foreign relations commit
tee. took the floor to declare that the
President was actuated in his attitude
on the toll question solely by his desire
to restore the United States to its for
mer prestige among nations. 1.-THE Presi-
dent does not like to see the United States
an outlaw among the nations,' added the
Massac husetts senator.
Referring to the visit of woman suf-
fragists to President Wilson last Decem-
Der, Senator Brlstow quoted this from
the chief executives reply to their re-
quest for support of the equal suffrage
constitutional amendment.
"When my private opinion is asked by
those who are cooperating with me, am
glad to give it, but I am not at liberty
until / speak for somebody besides my
self to urge legislation upon Congress"
When the tolls question came up, the
Kansas senator continued, it was not
brought before the President ''by the
good women of the country, but by rep
resentative of the English government,
whose action had been lnstigated by the
American and Canadian transcontinental
railroads and British shipping interests"
He quoted the Baltimore platform in it's
Endorsement of the toll exemption policy
for American ships. and declared that the
President in a recent letter to Mr.. Mar
bury of Baltimore, had declared the ex-
emption to be a very mistaken policy
