G.. W. Hindman of Houston, presi-
dent of the Southern Pipe Line COM
pany. is here He has made one
trip to the fields, and was kept
from going today on account of the
muddy condition Of the field Mr.
Hindman states that he has a mar
ket for all the Healdton oil which
he can get, and he is preparing TO
make te people here a proposition
on the building of a refinery to
care for a large portion OF the oil
His plans are 10 ask for no bonus
of any kind but to ask the produc
ers to take stock in the enterprise
and paw for their stock in oil. MIR,
Hindman deals in fuel oil and says
if the Healdton crude was strictly
a crude oil he could very easily
handle it, but as it is not a crude
oil. that it requires treatment be-
fore it can be used for fuel that
IT necessitates the building Of plant
TO top it.. He has talked with some
of the producers and has been as
sured that his proposition appeals TO
them.

 Our valiant arn1ies,r the letter said, during the four days battle has given striking showing of their bravery and dash The strategical idea conceived by the commander in chief with such fore sight and realized with so much coolness of method and resolution has been fol- lowed during the recent operations by i'm peccable tactics.
 Far from being fatigued by weeks of long marching and incessant fighting, our troops have shown more endurance and keenness than ever With the vigorous aid Of our British allies they have pushed the enemy east of Paris and the brilliant successes they have accomplished and the magnifique qualities they have displayed are certain augury of different vic tories"

 Every nation at war the ambassador said today. knows the advantages of peace and has known the,o for years as thoroughly as any peace advocate, or any peace-seeking society.

 the recent findings of the Shelby grand
 jurys
 Information has been received by the governor that at the recent term I of the circuit court of Shelby county an investigation was made by the grand jury and by Judge Merrill, as to the conduct of the jurors at the special term of court held in Aprif,
 last, at which James G. Oakley was tried for embezzlement of the convict
 funds AS a result of such investiga- ton by the grand jury one Wilson Parker was indicted for bribery of Will N. Keith, one of the jurors who participated In the trial of the Oakley
 case, and in addition to the indictment of Parker both Keith and Parker were fined $50 and sentenced to five days in jail each for contempt of court Upon the hearing in the contempt pro oeedlngs, 1t appeared in substance that Parker approached Keith on the streets of Columbiana and inquired if he was summoned on the Oakley case, to which Keith replied that he was not; that Parker thereupon remarked that he would be, and that he wanted to talk with Keith, and called him behind brick store at Co1umbiana and asked him if he wanted to, make a little money; that there was a little money in it if he would clear Oakley if he
 was drawn on the jury; that the juror (heith) said there was only one way he would clear Oakley and that was that the evidence was sufficient; that Parker remarked that they had good evidence, and that there was S25 or | $50 in it if he. Keith, would hold up | for Oakley; that he. Keith. saw Parker through the window of the courthouse l,a .1 .f frfn Iaftf hal conversation with him, but that since
 the trial, Parker met Keith in tho | road and stated that times had been a l little squally, and the grand jury was 1 likely to make an investigation, but
 that when matters blew over he would pay Keith, but that he, Keith, had not 1 as yet received any money.
 | "In connection with this same inves- l litigation, one Dr. J. B. Sims was fined l $50 and sentenced to five days in jail l for an attempt to influence said Juror Keith.
 "It was further disclosed that one | Emery Perry came to Columbiana or, | the day of the trial of Oakley. and
 while in the courthouse before the or sanization of the court approached one Mooney, a juror upon the venire, and lattempted to influence this yenireman.
 Perry was fined $50 and sentenced Co
 five days in jail for contempt of court. "Also, it appeared upon this investi-
 l gation that one Will P. Bowden ap
 l preached J. Edward Gum at Calera
 before Gum was summoned and stated
 to Gum that Bob, meaning R. D. Bow
 den, sent him to see if Gum would
 lnot waive his exemption as a juror
 and serve upon the Oakley jury. as they
 both were old friends of Oakley, and

POWERS REFUSE TO
 ACCEPT TURKEYS
 TREATY RIGHT LAW
(continued from Page one)

later suggested that an interesting sit uation might arise with reference to Egypt. Here, he thought, Great Brit |ain probably would welcome the re- 'moval of capitulations, as left Brit ish control of Egypt unencumbered by special privileges to other foreigners. He declined to discuss the effect of Turkeys action on the European war. bat emphatically denied it was intended as a pretext for war.
 The ambassador declared that Amer ican missions would be protected as formerly under Ottoman law. The principal effects of the abrogation. he explained, would be to give Turkey the right to impose whatever customs du- ties she desired, to levy professional taxes on foreigners and to substitute the jurisdiction of Turkish courts for ra-territorial rights.
 The following statement was author ized by the ambassadors:
 Tn abrogating the capitulations Tur- key simply is recovering national rights belonging to a nation, some of which were granted by her in the middle ages in unwise moods of liberality; others wrested from hep; others again came to be abandoned as corollary of the aban- donment of the former. The situSfon can be stated by saying that Turkey has decided to be mistress in her own house.
 No Sanction in Ethics
 Like any contract which in it's tenor disregards the general principles of right, as for instance, a contract stipulating the sale of one human being to Another, the capitulations have no sanction in ethics and Turkey was free to dissolve them. She had tried to attain that end rope subordinated their consent to such rope subordinated their consent tos uch onerous conditions that taking advantage of the present situation, Turkey decided to do away with the equalization by an unilateral decision of her own.
 "The United States enjoys some of the privileges of the capitulations by virtue of the most favored nation clause, inserted in the treaty concluded with Turkey in 1880; that is, thes United States became the beneficiary of the capitula- tions only incidentally,
 1.-The statement that the American mis- sionary institutions in Turkey are ef- fected by the equalization is inaccurate. Those institutions exist in Turkey by virtue of general laws governing the empire.'
