LEASE SYSTEM ENTRENCHED;

The convict lease system seems en-
trenched. The battle on this subject will

supported by those who argue from the

through the abolition of the system. The
general impression is that while in many
respects efforts intended to improve Will
will be continued. An interesting strug-
gle will be precipitated when the convict
commission BILL that which would make

ed Tuesday.
At the present time. the indications are
that the senate will eliminate from the
license bill clauses exempting corpora
tons of certain character from taxation.
However, it is apparent that in the course
of "a hours, change has been noted.
The argument that the honor of the state
| is at stake, that the state has entered
into a formal contract with these cor.
pora lions, is proving a powerful argu-
ment and 1t is known that while the
| governor is opposed to exemptions of any
character, he strongly adheres to the
theory that the pledge of the common
wealth must be religiously regarded.
! The struggle is destined to be brilliant
and violent, and the outcome cannot
be forecast

MAKING HASTE
AND CITIZENS COMPLAIN
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Indicated that a majority of the MEM
bers of the legislature are determined to
recess before the completion of the ses-
sion and against the expressed desire Of
only negative surprise were the rules
committees of the houses to report next
week plan for taking recess and recon-
vening. The leaders are hopeful that all
important legislation Will be disposed of
by the completion of the fortieth working
until next spring will be taken. AS stated
above, it is indicated that that course
will be pursued
Another noteworthy and significant fea-
ture of the week was the comparative
ease with which several of the judiciary
ate, and the remarkable success achieved
by the consolidated court bill in it's pas
sage through the house. In the begin
ming, it was believed that against these
measures, so revolutionary in their eff
feet, but so necessary, In the opinion of
their sponsors, most forceful opposition
would be developed, opposition so strong
that even If it failed to produce their
defeat. would certainly for many days
delay their passage. The indications now
are, however, that while on one or more
of these measures the members will
violently differ, the new scheme, a
whole, will be made effective.

WARSAW FELL AFTER
A MIDNIGHT STORM
OF SHOT AND SHELL
Russian Reservists Made First Breach

of August 5


Berlin, August 7.-(Via London. 9:05
p. IMPRESS dispatches from Warsaw
now reaching Berlin say the Polish
capital fell after a midnight storm of
shot and shell against forts on the south
of the city.
A division of Prussian reservists made
entered the city at o'clock in the morn
ing of AuguS 5.
These troops had been heavily en-
gagged for two days and two nights
with the forts which. though deprived
of heavy artillery, offered effective re-
sistance.
The forts in Warsaw had been de-
stroyed last winter during Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's drive from the west
when evacuation seemed imminent They
were later rebuilt as supporting points
for infantry and were surrounded with
intricate entanglements of wire, bitches
and extensive fields of buried mines.
The fall of the west front of the fort
ress occurred almost simultaneously with
the fall of the southern forts. Mixed di-
visions of Saxon, Bavarian and Wurt
tembergian troops carried these forts, sc
that all four German kingdoms were rep.
resented in the victory.
The troops attacking from the west al
times had to do sever fighting in work

The above Is a likeness of the man
Davis, who was killed by a live wire when
he climbed one of the Alabama Power
company's towers at the foot of Shades
mountain, about 10 miles from Birming-
ham, last Wednesday.
The deceased has never been definitely
identified although some papers on the
body when it was found led the coroner
to believe that Bert Jackson was the
mans right name. The body was buried
by the county yesterday afternoon and it
is doubtful whether or not the right
name of the victim will ever be known.
The man had evidently Travelled ex-
tensively, and at some one time or other
it is thought that he must have been in
the army. A belt of elaborate design made
of solid leather was found on his person.
Brass buttons from various state militias
was attached to the leather at intervals.
Several forms were carved out in solid
lea Their on the belt. including a heart.
knife the figure of a woman and other
things
L. is the theory of some that the man
was working for some farmer on the
mountain, and losing his way in the
woods, climbed the tower in order to
find his way home. He came in contact
with the heavily charged wires and was
knocked to the ground.
The man was of the robust type and had
evidently lived in the open a great deal.
He was five feet eight inches in height
and weighed about LOO pounds He had
red hair and fair complexion.

KING SANCTIONS
NEW WAR MEDAL

London. August 7-(S10 D. milking
George has sanctioned the establishment
of a medal to be known as the naval
general service medal This will be
awarded for service in minor naval war
like operations. whether in the nature
of belligerency or of police duty which
may be considered of sufficient impor-
lance to Justify the award of a medal in
cases where no other medal would be APP
propriate. 1t is stated that these medals
will be awarded to the officers and men
of the warships employed in the opera
tons for the suppression of traffic In

sian gulf between October 1919, and the
first of August, 1914.

dangerous, is altogether unnecessary and
unwiee, and 1t cannot help but result in
serious impairment of real property val
ues If values are greatly impaired. how
will the state get the necessary revenue
with which to meet its increasing appro-
priatiors? I notice that by practically
una nimous vote an enormous increase has
been made on school appropriations. be-
lieve that this legislature will expend
more than any preceding one, but whether
1t does or not, it must either practice
great deal more economy or find a
great deal more revenue. or the state
will certainly go broke beyond the hope of
redemption.
why, then. should a law be passed seri-
ously disturbing the real property values
and impairing the existing contracts,
which have been entered into upon the
faith of existing laws?
81 do not find that the landlords lien
law has ever operated an injustice. II it
be true that in some cases of bankruptcy
the lien would take a considerable part
of the estate, this would be obviated by
the fact that the creditors of the estate
would get the property for the remainder
of the term. and thus would have an as
set of equal value with that which they
had to pay In other words, all that the

would be TO guarantee the rent and re-

| Upon the other hand If this becomes a
law. persons who can now readily obtain
credit for their rent without security
would find such transactions impossible.
and particularly in the case of long leases

security. This would not only hinder
the real estate business, but would be a

gan at the closing session of the district
convention here yesterday. Several hun
dred negroes from all sections of Alabama
attended the session, which were ad-
dressed by number of the prominent

company shows the city to have a cash

HOLD CONFERENCE ON
WAREHOUSE BILLS

Montgomery. August Especially
Governor Henderson today conferred
with the senate committee on finance
and taxation relative to the numerous
cotton warehouse bills before that
committee. The governor discussed the
bills section by section and offered
numerous suggestions relative to the
pending measures.
The committee appeared before the
governor at the latter's invitation, and
was closeted with the executive nearly
two hours 1t is understood that the
governor discussed with the members
OF the committee the three bills which
passed the house at the first session,
known as the administration cotton
measures. These bills. it is known,
have the governors approval, and will,
the executive thinks, more nearly meet
the demands of the present time, SO
far as the cotton planter is concerned,
than any other measures that have
been introduced.
1T was stated, following the con-
ference that the governor and the COM
mittee agreed on a system of uniform
warehouse receipts, providing they do
not impair the landlords lien. 1t was
learned that this was the principal
matter discussed.
