feels that 1t should always be up to
the full quota and, to take care of
the depletion caused by sickness,
court attendance, vacations and the

In explaining the idea the mayor
goes on to state that If such an ordi-

would be selected from an eligible

served as substitutes would be named
according to seniority. This would
make probationary term for police

four men were on duty at one time,
and sometimes eight or ten men have
gone to New Brunswick in single
day to attend court.
The mayor will also recommend
that the police manual be revised and

Grand Jury Presentment.
The presentment follows:
"In this presentment of this
grand jury and the close of thor
ough Investigation of the shooting
of certain persons at Roosevelt dur
ing the recent strike trouble, It is
unanimously agreed that the sheriff
has acted throughout this strike in q
most rational manner in his method
of procedure when called upon to
protect life and property, as laid
down by precedent. as the best
course he could pursue under the
circumstances-tha he maintained
his authority and performed his
duty in an honest, courageous and
efficient manner, and is thereby ex-
onerated from all blame as to the
shooting and is commended for his
manly and upright conduct since the
unfortunate occurrence.
'In view OF the fact that the law
as laid down by Justice Bergen in his
charge to this grand jury, the 80
called deputies as sworn In by the
sheriff when called upon by citizens
to protect their lives and property,
have no standing in law as officers
and are entitled to no immunity as
such, and in order to secure this pro-
lection formerly guaranteed by
sheriff's deputies cit having been
clearly shown that the ancient and
antiquated resort to the bosse conf
tatus cannot be applied to present
conditions for the suppression of dis
order), this body of grand jurors
earnestly recommend the installation
of state constabulary and petition
the legislators of this state to fam
iliarize themselves with the splendid
records Ind assured success of the
constabulary of the State of Penn
sylvania, and do carefully and con-
scientiously consider any measure
put before them TO create such a
body, and that copies of this recon-
mendation be sent to our present
legislators and to the governor Of
this state"
No mention Of Mayor Joseph Her
mann, of Roosevelt, blamed by Sher-
iff Houghton for the shooting, or of
the officials of the American AgriCul-
tural Chemical Company, was made
in the presentment.

MAYOR TO URGE
PROBATIONARY
POLICE IN CITY
Chief of Police Burke Approves
Scheme, Which viii be
Placed Before the Aldermen
Soon for Consideration.

With view of giving the city bet
ter police protection, Mayor Ferd
Garretson proposes to recommend to
the Board of Aldermen shortly, that
they adopt a measure to engage
chancemen or substitutes, In order
to keep the force up to its full quota
of thirtythree men at all times. 1t
is likely that the executive will rec
ommend that an ordinance be passed
to add a probationary department,
the members of which would do sub
stitute duty if their names We're on
the eligible list in that way. Mr..
Garretson plans to have police pro-
lection improved materially.
Would Have Eligible List.
When the papers submitted by po-
lice applicants in examination are
marked and ratings obtained, an
eligible list will be established from
which, the mayor says, any appoint
ments he may make during the year
will be selected. But single va
caney exists at present, but it fire.
quently happens that several men
are off duty at the same time, some
because of illness, some due to vaca-
tions and some attending court or
always depletes the regular force
which, any way, is far below the le-
gal quota. The law allows one po-
liceman to every 500 inhabitants, the
mayor states, which would double
the present force and greatly in
crease taxation burdens.

FRISCO SHOWS FINE
 GAIN IN RECEIPTS
Net Income Increases in Spite of De- cline in Gross Receipts-Gain
 Is 12.7 Per Cent

New York. November 5.--(Special.) )ARe-s ceivers of the St. Louis and San Fran cisco Railroad company issued yesterday their report for the year ended June 30, 2 showing an increase of $1,4S2565, or 12.7 per cent, in net operating revenue over the preceding fiscal period. This show
 ing was of especial interest to the finan- cial community because of expectations that the property soon would be turned over to the stockholders, The gain in net income was scored in the face of de- cline of $194S,996 in gross revenue from operations. The total net before interest charges were deducted was $11.670.766, gain of 13.S per cent
 Freight and passenger traffic yielded $42 974 572, of which $29, ,S39. .03S was paid out of operating expenses, the latter item be- ing 10.3 per cent lower than in 1914. 1n- terest called for s12O6S.575. so that the net income was more than offset, the der felt being s397.s0s. against deficit of $1 ,915,161 the preceding year.
 The report covered the second year of the receivership The favorable results of the last year are attributed by railroad men to the action of the receivers in re- turning earnings largely to the property in the first year. Maintenance expenses in 1914 were $S.5OO,000 greater than the year before.
 Bankers interested in the Frisco System said that the railroads physical property had been improved greatly during the receivershfp, and it was expected that the shareholders would begin to run their property with $25.000,0V0 of new funds pro vided for.

Europe and speedy challenge to the lib-

erty Of America. f5
 Tt is from this standpoint of human freedom and progress rather than from that of dollars and cents and of legal technicalities that our people judge the measures adopted by Great Britain and her allies to resist and defeat the world s common foe.
 8 If Germany wins she will turn inevi- tably to the western world for new con- quests and spells. The triumph of Prus- sian militarism will whet still keener the ambition of German imperialism. If the mailed fist crushes Europe it will never be content until it has crushed Amer ica, too.
 we may as well recognize now that the allies are fighting for our interests as well as their own, and that upon their success depends our security in the years ahead. It does not behoove us. therefore, to be picking petty flaws with the powers that stand between us and the most terrible war we have ever known"
 It is generally believed that the edi- torial is in reply to attacks which United States Senator Hoke Smith is making on Great Britain because of the cotton em- bargo. Heretofore the Journal has strongly supported MT. Smith. The sena- tors antagonism to Great Britain has been 50 marked that some of the Georgia editors have alluded to him as Our Ger man senator

 ''The rank and file of the southern peo- pic are not troubled over the British or der declaring cotton contraband. They know that since this order became oper- ative the price of cotton. instead of fall ing. as some pessimists predicted. has risen.
 .But the southern people. like all thoughtful and patriotic Americans. view the developments of this war from an infinitely broader and higher outlook than that of monetary concern. They realize that the principles and ideals at stake in this vast struggle are as important to them and their republic as to any of the nations that are bleeding in the crash of battle. They know that the triumph of Prussian tyranny and hate wonld mean the death of democracy in

OVERTIME RULES IN FACTORY AND SHOP Bradstreet Says That Trade Activity Is Widening in
 Many Branches

New York, November 5.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Two features loom large in this weeks reports, the overwhelming activity of trade and the increased momentum at- tained in many industries. Out of these grow overtime in factory, mill and shop; progressive improvement in industries al- most wholly dependent on domestic wants; larger pay rolls; sustained, if not increased, demand upon jobbers and wholesale dealers; more confidence in fu- ture buying, accompanied, however, by urgent calls for goods already ordered and although mild weather has prevented retail trade in the cities from running it's full course much of the slack in this re- spect has been taken up by increased buying in various county districts. Evi- dently pessimism has been altogether un- seated, activity in the stock market con tinues, money is plethoric, legitimate de- mand is being supplied at easy rates, col lections are freer, railway traffic. east and northwest, is of record proportions, the grain movement from the leading pro- ducing states has reached new high water mark, production of pig iron is the largest in the history of the country. prices for iron and steel continue on an ascending scale and railway buying indi- cates pressure to get orders booked Weekly bank clearings, s4,4S2,962,ooo
 or continues another year. domestic busl- ness of all kinds will share in the stim- ulous occa stoned by the advent of the rail road companies into the steel and equip ment markets
 Those who argue in this way admit that the railroads reflect the effect or the stu pendous war orders, but if the railroads are thereby enabled to in some measure finance their own needs, then the condi- tion of the country will be healthful even though Europe should terminate it's heavy war orders in this country.

ANNIsToN

Anniston, November 5.-(Special,) ,)-Dep- uty Revenue Collector F. F. Koerber or this city, accompanied by John Draper special agent of Oxford, and Joe Harmon, returned today from a very successful raid in Cleburne county. The three men left here Wednesday night and nearly two days were spent in locating and raid ing the stills
 They captured and destroyed two stills. One was of S0-gallon capacity and had 800 gallons of beer in barrels, which was destroyed and the other was a 60-gallon still, at which 150 gallons of beer in bar rels were destroyed. Although no men were caught, the raids were among the most successful made in this section in sometime and the officers were highly elated over their success.
 Deputy Collector Koerber, who had charge of the raid, came from Columbia to Anniston on September 4, taking charge of this division, which comprises nine counties. He has been very success full in his work here and has made a host of friends.
 According to a report made by the city jail warden, there have been 10,500 cases in the recorders court docketed and tried during the past five years and II months. This is considered great many cases for place of Annistons population. A peculiarity of the warden's report is the fact that although few years ago the arrests of negroes outnumbered those of white people by more than five to one: today there are more white people being arrested in this city than negroes.
