BIG WAGES FOR Ex-CONvICT.
Said to Be Getting No Less Than
$4,000 Annually for Services.

One of the $50 former convicts
who are now employees of the auto
mobile concern of which Henry Ford
is the head is said to be getting no
less than $4,000 a yea, for his ser.
vices. Evidently there are some
places where a mans past is not of
as much Importance as his present.
1t is a little remarkable that he has
climbed to a position of trust, as ap-
parently there is no secret about his
Imprisonment. The men who work
under him and the men he meets in
a business way know about it, Per-
haps one great reason why few con-
victs make good after they leave the
prison is that so many persons are
more willing to give them kick than
a boost.

land in North Sea.
BREMEN, Feb 21.-The Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn, which sailed
from New York January % with a
cotton cargo for Bremen, was sunk
by mine yesterday off Borkum is
land, in the North sea.
The vessels captain and twenty
seven of her crew were saved.
The nationality of the mine which
destroyed the Evelyn has not been
established.
The Evelyn is the first American
vessel to meet with disaster as a re-
suit of the sea warfare of the Euro
pean nations. She did not sink within
the war zone included in the German
admiralty's decree. Borkum island
lies directly off the German coast, at
the mouth of the Ems river, and is
German territory.
Maritime records give the compile
ment of the Evelyn at 25 men, so that
it is probable that all on board the
vessel were rescued.
The Evelyn was a single screw,
steel steamship and was commanded
by Captain Smith. She belonged to
A. H. Hull & Co., of New York, and
was chartered by the Harris-Irby
Cotton Company to take a cargo of
cotton to Bremen.

peals to Higher Power to Move
the Governor to Action.
ATLANTA-When Governor Sla-
ton Thursday afternoon informed
Mrs. Emma Ray of Montgomery, Ala,
that he could not pardon her son, G..
c. Ray, who has served four years
of a life sentence for the murder of
young woman in Decatur county,
the pleading mother dropped on her
knees and prayed aloud to God that
He bring His power to bear upon the
heart and mind of the governor and
cause him to give her boy his free
dom.
Mrs. Ray, who was in the govern
ors office, prayed so loud and so fer
vently that her supplications were
overheard by number of persons in
the governors reception room who
were awaiting their turn to interview
the executive.
Governor Slaton sat silent through
Mrs. Rays prayer and after she had
concluded he told that he sympa-
thized with her very much, but that
her son had committed murder, had
lkilled a young woman and had plead
ed guilty at the trial Under these
circumstances, said the governor, he
would himself violate the law and
abuse his powers if he granted par
don. Mrs. Ray walked out weeping
softly.
The prison commission had previ-
ously declined to recommend a par
don for young Ray.

LONDON.-Aerial warfare was
waged Friday on the largest scale in
its history and under adverse clrcum-
stances from the standpoint of wealth
er. British airmen, buffeting banks
of snow in the air, swept over the cit
les of Northern Belgium held by the
Germans and dropped bombs on Os-
tend, Bruges and other places.
Thirty-four aeroplanes and sea
planes of the British navy took part
in the operations, and all OF them
later returned safely to their base
without casualties to their drivers,
though two of the machines were
damaged.
The raid was made in order to pre-
vent the development of submarine
bases and establishments which
might further endanger British war
ships and merchantmen.
Although no submarines were seen
the British admiralty statement 1nd1-
Gates that the raid showed satisfacto-
nv results, for considerable damage
is said to have been done to German
gun positions, railway lines and rail-
way stations. The Ostend station is
reported to have been set on fire and
that at Blankenburghe to have been
badly damaged. German mine sweep
ing vessels at Zebrugge also came in
for a hail of bombs, but the damaee
to them has not been stated.
Received With German Fire.
At various points the airmen were
received by Germans with firing from
aerial guns and rifles. None Of the
airmen is reported by the admiralty
to have been wounded in these at
tacks
One of the machines driven by
Flight Commander Claude Grahame-
White, among the most intrepid of
the British flyers, fell into the sea
while returning to it's base after the
raid was over, and the aviator had a
narrow escape from drowning. FOrtu-
nately for him a cruiser was nearby
and picked him up and then towed
his aeroplane into port.
Wing Commander Samson, who
previously had made several notable
visits to enemy territory in an aero
plane, was in chief command of the
raiding aviators. He was assisted by
Wing Commander Longmore and
Squadron Commanders Courtney
Porte and RathbOne.
During tho raid warships lombard
ed the German positions along the
coast.
The British admiralty's statement
of the raid follows:
During the last twenty-fOur hours
combined aeroplane and seaplane op,
erations have been carried out by the
naval wing in the Brugges, Zebrugge
Blankenburghe and Ostend districts
with a view to preventing the devel-
oping Of submarine bases and estab-
Hshments.

HIS OPERATIONS IN THIS STATE
COVERED SEVERAL YEARS
IN AS MANY PLACES.

The Atlanta Constitution prints
the following story of the operations
in Georgia of A. D. oliver, who was
killed in Leesburg a few nights ago,
and was one of the nerviest crooks
who ever infested this state:
Government officials who, years
ago, camped upon his trail until he
was run down and landed in the Ohio

and established hismself in Dakota,
a small lumber town in South Geor-
gia where he dickered with two
brothers, Grier by name, for the pur-
chase of their prosperous sawmill.
He displayed checks on various
northern corporations representing
huge sums, and easily led the saw
mill owners to believe him a man Of
wealth. With but the clothes on his
back he took over the mill and be-
gan operations. He established cred
it and stocked the mill with supplies.
AS a climax to his deal he employed
the brothers from whom he bought
the mill to work for him at salary
of 500 monthly.

checks. He evaded imprisonment,

sent him a fugitive from the village.
He had returned to BrOoksville

TRAIN LOAD OF COTTON

argument for it there was the fact
that it was intended purely as an
emergency measure. Before the bill
could be passed an amendment by
Representative Cullop providing that
endorsements for the judgeship
should be made public by the pres1-
dent was attached. Representative
Webb indicated today that the house
conferees would proably recede on
that and would expect the senate
conference to recede on the perma-
nent feature.
Senator Smith was asked by re-
publicans today, when he requested
that the bill be passed, if he favored
the senate bill rather the house bill.
He answered that it pleased him bet
ter.
Senator Hardwick's View.
The form in which the bill passes
will have a great deal to do with the
appointment of the judge. 1t is
known here that Senator Hardwick's
view of the claims of South Georgia
for the judgeship depend largely on
whether there are to be two perma-
nent judgeships or one. If there are
to be two permanent judgeships he
believes one of them should come
unquestionably from Southeast Geor-
gia. If there is to be only one per-
manent Judge he thinks the whole
district must be considered notwith-
standing the fact that Judge Speer
comes from Macon.
The situation, as it appears today,
seems to indicate the creation of
temporary judge. Mr.. Webb's view
is that if the necessity for two judges
is shown later it will be comparative
ly easy to increase the number OF
judges on a sperate proposition.

the mayor that the new catch basins
would be installed at the end Of the
drain at the corner Of Twenty fourth

The claim is made by the officials
that the catch basins were plugged
and that no water could get Into the
mouth OF the Twenty-fourth street
storm drain. This. they stated, caused
the water TO flow on the streets and
reach lower levels. which IN this case
