COMMITTEE GUARDS
 LACY INTERVIEW AS.
 IMPORTANT SECRET
Startling Developments Are Promised on Appeal From Appellate COurt-Visit
 Lacy at Wetumpka

The legislature's Investigating cem- mittee, as a result of its interview yes- terday with Theodore Lncy at We
 tumpka. obtained information Of such
 necessary to see nt once Governor
 Henderson. As to what Lacy told tho
 committee, tO what Governor
 Henderson told the committed, great
 secrecy is maintained.
 ]. T. Denson of Eutaw, state senator
 and member of the committed came to
 Birmingham last night from Montgom-
 cry. He said that the committee saw
 Lacy, and immediately afterwards drove
 across country to Montgomery. where
 the governor was interviewed
 T cannot say what the former clerk
 of the convict department told us said
 Senator Denson. However, his story
 was of great importance. We saw the
 governor regarding the Lacy matter i'm
 medately after having seen Lacy. Of course l cannot say what tne governor
 told us However, am more than ever
 convinced that we will get to the bottom of the scandal of the convict depart
 ment.'
 Last night, Senator Denson immediately after his arrival in Birmingham went into consultation with E. w. Pettus of Selma Lacy's knsman and attorney. 1t is un- derstood that he told Mir Pettus of what had transpired during the day. While nothing tangible can be obtained regarding the Lacy matter, it has be- come common belief that following the action of the supreme court on Lacy g appeal from the decision of fife appellate court there will occur staEtling develop ments. It all depends. it Is said, on the attitude of Governor Henderson as to whether or not Lacy tells his story. Montgomery, March 2z-(SpeciaL) )--The-
 odore Lacy. former chief clerk of he state convict department serving a To- year sentence for the embezzlement of state funds, was examined tt the peni- tentiary at Wetumpka today by Henry F..
 Merritt, chairman of the legislative in- vestigating committee and pther members
 of the committee, but nothing could be
 learned tonight from any of the investi- gators concerning Lacys testimony. Chairman Merritt refused to discuss any feature of Lacy's testimony, declaring that it was a subject to which publicity should not be given at the present time. Other members of the committee who visited Wetumpka were J. B.. Green of Dallas and Senator J. T. Denson of Eu- taw. neither of whom would discuss Lacy's testimony. though MT. Green inti- mated that no valuable information mad been received from the former state of ficial. A
 The committee has in it's possession considerable important information which needs only the corroboration of Lacy to throw considerable light on convict de- partment affairs during the administration of President James c. Oakley But 50 1 far as can be ascertained the committee has received nothing from Lacy that will aid them in securing additional informa- | ton regarding the situation.
 The committee will hold session here
 tomorrow and next day. 1t is announced.

Northwestern Gallcia This is close to the German border.
 Early in the war, the Russian offen- sive campaign as outlined unofficially, contemplated invasion of Germany through East Prussia. on the north and Silesia by way of Galicia, on the south. The Russians succeeded in penetrating Galicia, but the Austrians by holding PrZemysl and Cracow, blocked attempts to cross the Silesian boroer.
 The siege of Przemysl has been one of the most picturesque phases of the war in the east. The Austrian garrison de- tended the city with determination and
 vigor and during the earlier months, in- flicted considerable losses on the Russians by frequent sorties. The only means of
 communication with the outside world was by wireless telegraphy and areo- planes.
 Although there have been several re- ports recently that the surrender of Przemysl was imminent. news from the city itself described conditions there as nearly normal, except for the regulations imposed by the rnilitasy authorities. All supplies uf food were taken nvor by the army officials who issued rations to soi- diers and civilians alike The last direct word from Przemysl before the announce ment of the surrender was that the Rus sian attacks were infrequent and that the defenders had little tv do.
 Przemysl was well stocked with ammu- hilton and provisions when the siege be-
 gan, but there had been indications re- gently that hunger WAS an effective ally of the Russians. It was reported areo- planes were making daily flights to Prze-
 mysl with cargoes of provisions.

Releases Russian Army

Petrograd, March 22.--t4 D. m.. vla London 6:15 D. m.)-The garrison If Frzemysl capitulated today to tine in vesting Russian army. Ending of tho long siege is considered here of great importance. It gives Russia control Of virtually all of eastern Galicia and releases the Russian army which has been besieging the city for service elsewhere.
 Nothing since the capture of Lemberg and the victorious sweep of the Russian army through Galicia in the beginning of the war has aroused an equal degree of enthusiasm. Newspaper o-4ices and army headquarters were pomparded with telephone inquiries for information Crowds stood in pelting snowstc-m be- fore the bulletin boards.
 The fate of the fortress has been inevi- table since the failure of the iast Aus trian drive from the southward for it's relief. There have been daily evidences of a shortage of provisions and rept rts of the ravages of disease reached the be- siegers from time to time. Gradually the lines about the city were drawn tighter, until within the last fortnight Russian rifiemen were within range os the outer works Russian artillery pounded the forts ceaselassly.
 
 was preceded by such an extravagant lse of ammunition by the artillery as to leave the impression that the besieged army was at the end of it's resources and de- sired to consume the remainder of its ann munition prior to surrenderng.
 Although Prezemysl had been eliminated as a positive menace to the Russian troops operating in Galcia s.nce it was isolated and surrounded early in October it always had been |. potential source of danger. Many stubborn battles have been fought by the besiegers with portions Of the garrison which attempted to break through the investing lines to join relief columns which on some occasions pushed to within 25 miles of the city.
 It is believed here that the next impor- tant development in Galicia will be rev Russian advance toward Cracow, the Aus trians having been virtually driven out of the territory as far southward as the Carpathians.
 The siege of Przemysl, an Austrian stronghold in the province of Galicia, be- gan in the early days of the war. It has been a bitter and relentless siege since the day the Russians invested the city. Several attempts of the Austrians to re- 4 lieve the fortress. the latest of which was made only a short time ago, have failed

War office advices report that nine Austrian generals were taken, more than 300 officers and 5000 men.
 The Russian general commanding the investing army has been decorated with St. Georges cross.
 A heavy snowfall failed to check the enthusiastic demonstrations in which the civil and military populations uni ted when the fall of Przmysl was an- nounced. Crowds, floundering in deep drifts, cheered the officers and sol diers who remained to participate in the celebrations.
 From the Kasean cathedral the strains of the national anthem swelled fin volume as the crowd gathered and from other points throughout the city. mysteriously hidden behind the dense curtain of falling snow music burst forth and added to the general spirit of enthusiasm
 The moral eftect of the victory on Russia, it is expected, will be very great, awakening hopes that this will be the turning point in the Gaiician and Carpathian campaigns.

ALASKA $ TRADE MAY RE ACR
 S100,000,000

Alaska's commerce with the United States practically all of which is ship ped to and from Seattle will be in- creased from $64,799,245 last year to at least $1OO,OOO,OOO this year, and it may exceed that sum. The number of passengers going in and out of Alaska will double that of last year
 This is the opinion of M. S. Whit tier, deputy collector of customs at Juneau, formerly of Cordova who has been in the Northern service for more than a dozen years.
 The first seven months of the year showed a tremendous improvement in both exports and imports, according to records compiled by the department at Juneau, the increases in exports, being mainly to the line of copper and other metals. The imports to Alaska this year exceed the figures for 1908 09, the record years of the country, when the Copper River & Northwest ern railway was under construction.
 The increase in imports this year is due to the mining activity at Ju- neau, where tremendous plants are being installed, augmented by a lot of material shipped to Anchorage for use in the construction of the govern ment railroad and an increased num- Der of small quartz mills and mining plants shipped to various parts of the
The Cordova daily times., 1915-10-01

Territory.
 Gold exports are already $2,000.00o ahead of those of last year. This is accounted for by the fact that big plants have been in operation in low grade ore. The increase in copper comes mainly from the Kennecott mines, which are shipping at the rate of more than $1,OOO,OOO month.
 The increase in the number of pas sengers going in and out of the Ter ritory this year is due. Mir. Whittier believes, to the fact that Alaska re- ceived a tremendous amount of ad- vertising when the appropriations for the construction of the government railroad was passed by Congress. The value of the advertising was enhanc- ed by work done by Seattle newspa- pers and commercial institutions Tourists, unable to go to Europe, were attracted to the North.

BAD CHECKS TAKEN
 AT ANCHORAGE SALE

In the last mail from the East, the Receiver of the local land office, had returned to him from the U. s. Treas urer at Washington, three checks which were accepted in payment for lots in the recent government auction at Anchorage, with the statement that these checks were not good" since the makers name did not appear on any of the three. The total value of the three checks amounts to s272.S8.
 Receiver Boyle stated today that the checks had been accepted by A. Christensen, who conducted the sale, and that they have been checked up by clerk at Anchorage, as well as by himself, and that after being brought to Juneau were cashed by the bank here. The deficiency in the sig natures was not detected until they reached the U. s. Treasury depart ment at Washington.-Junea Empire

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snudfs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
