VIOLATION OF
RULES CHARGED
TO WHITEHOUSE
Supervisor Arnold Says City
Engineer Goes Over Head
of Purchasing Agent

Two resolutions and committee re-
port were directed against City En-.
gineer Whitehouse at the meeting of
the board of supervisors last night.
The committee on roads, bridges and
public improvements reported to the
beard that its attention had been
called to orders alleged to have been
issued to clerks and assistants in the
engineers departments by White
house, directing them to ignore the
city purchasing department and to
buy all supplies in the open market.
Mr. Whitehouse denies ever going
over the head of the purchasing de-
partment in buying materials. Arm
old, however, insists that his informa.
ton came directly from the city and
county engineers Office.
Can you tell single time when
] bought anything without an order?"
asked the engineer of Supervisor Ar.
mold after the meeting last night.
Mr. Arnold then pointed out that
the engineer wanted Firestone tires
for a truck recently, whereas the low
est bid was for Goodrich tires. The
Goodrich tires were bought, but not
through the engineers Office.
Don't be afraid that this purchas-
ing department won't work. said
Arnold. for If it doesn't it will be
up to the supervisors. and not to the
engineer" ~
The committee desired to inform
Whitehouse that all purchases must
be made in accordance with Ordinance
1i6, which establishes the purchasing
bureau, and any employee who makes
purchases for the city without writ
ten order from the purchasing agent
will be dealt with by the board.
Supervisor Arnold then introduced
two resolutions calling upon White.
house to explain two incidents"
The first Of these called upon the
engineer to submit to the board a
written statement showing the num-
Der of, times he mas loaned city roao
rollers and other machinery to private
firms and individuals during the year,
and the names of those to whom ma

The Submarine Crisis Ends

The United States and Germany will continue their peaceful relations
 The situation created by the tor pedoing of the Lusitania and Presi- dent Wilson's note to the German government thereon looked extremely grave especially when time passed without an answer from the Berlin foreign office; and with the sinking of the Arabic the crisis became so acute that many we'll poised Ameri- cans saw nothing left for the Wash ipgton administration to do but dis miss the German ambassador and re- call Ambassador Gerard.
 But President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing never lost faith in the German chancellor's good com- mon sense Germany had much to lose and nothing to gain if she forced the United States into the war.
 Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz, the father of the German navy and in- stigator of the submarine campaign" was slow to yield to the conciliatory policy of the Kaiser and Von Beth mann Hollweg, but after much argu- ment he was won over completely. It was all plain sailing for Germany then. The result was Ambassador Von Bernstorff's letter to Secretary Lansing yesterday.
 Diplomatic correspondence is usu- ally in conventional phraseology- suited and cautious; but Germany's representative did not write in that style. No statement could have been clearer or freer from formal yer biage than Von Bernstorff's friendly communication.
 Of course, there was qualification in administration circles. It was no more than the President felt he had reason to hope for, but the fact that the crisis was ended was, neverthe- less, enough to cause rejoicing.
 Germany's changed attitude toward the United States in her submarine warfare is a distinct vindication of the Wilson administration course. MT. Wilson and Mr. Lansing will now be able to give closer attention to other international questions pressing for settlement.
 All honor to the President who can maintain the national honor and at the same time keep out of war.

 From the Providence Journal.
 The success of the Plattsburg camp of instruction has led militiamen in Phila- delphia to undertake similar camp in the neighborhood of that city. This is gratifying news. There must be good many men in Philadelphia who do not care to make the trip to Plattsburg. but will welcome the opportunity to drill near home.
 There is no reason why other camps should not be established in various parts of the country The demand for instruc- tion Is unquestioned, as is shown by the fact that there have been so many appl- cations for inclusion in the Plattsburg camp that 1t has been decided to keep it open till October T.
 Dr. John H. Finley, state commissioner of education in New York. suggests per- manent camps under the direction of the regular army-camps that would furnish all our able bodied men with chance to spend their usual vacation time In camp routine, not for military prepared ness, necessary as that may be for the time, but for physical economic and corn- munity preparedness, that we might the better meet tYgether on problems of de- mocracy."

The Convict Lease System

After the Davis bill providing for the abolition of the convict lease sys- tenn was amended so as to withdraw the convicts from the mines and lumber camps gradually between now and 1920, it passed the house by a large majority.
 Opponents of the measure are mak- ing a strenuous fight to prevent its
 passage in the senate; but the people of Alabama are strongly against the
 old system, and the bill now pending should be enacted into law without further delay.
 Alabama needs good roads and the place for the states convicts is on the highways. North Carolina and Georgia have built their splendid roads with convict labor. Jefferson and a few
 other counties in Alabama that are hON uSih6 touliIy COASlClSs IOdu
 building are getting highly satisfac.
 tory results. A system that operates
 with such fine success in other states
 and in our own county of Jefferson,
 will prove equally successful in this state at large.
 After 1t is settled that Alabama's convicts are to be taken out of the mines and camps, supplemental legis- lation will be needed for utilizing them on the highways, but that should be easy of accomplishment. Certain it is that the enlightened sentiment of Alabama is today more than ever in favor of the state employing its convicts on road work. With such a system in full operation Alabama would soon lead the south in i'm proved road mileage.

Villa Should Worry

Even if General Villa were not ac- eumulating riches right and left in Mexican territory held elsewhere by him, the gambling concessions at Jua- reg, across the border from Fl Paso. are bringing in such tidy sum that he need not worry about the future Thanks to the license granted and en- couraged by Villa and his agents. Juarez has become what the revival ists call a "cesspool of sin." The town has long been a favorite resort for adventurers and its name was none of the best, but, according to newspaper correspondents, it is now at the height-or the depth-of it's in- fanny.
 In the daytime, there is little to distinguish Juarez from other Mex lean border towns, but Juarez is only sleeping. When darkness comes and the lights of saloons, dance halls, gambling palaces and brothels blaze out, the lawless population begins a nightly orgy, in which murders are of such common occurrence that they no longer attract attention. Mexicans, halfbreeds and whites of both sexes from the United States have gathered at Juares, where debauchery reigns supreme and abandoned creatures Haunt their vices without restraint.
 It is said that the apparatus for tlAe Diamond Keno palace, one of the big gambling places at Juarez, was lnado in New York at cost of $2O0,- Ooo. Villas rakeoff from this one en-

terprise is said to average more than 5000 night. In the Turf Exchange, another infamous resort, Hipolite Villa himself sets behind the cashiers desk. General Villa found conditions in Juarez ripe for his plucking. By annexing it's vice combinations in toto and granting additional concessions he has profited handsomely.
 The gambling and liquor conces- sions at Naco are estimated to bring $20,000 month to his coffers, while the same privileges at Nogales pay like $25,000 a month. In popular parlance, General Villa is cer- tainly getting his while the getting's good"

A Modern Minister

The traveller who stops in Ham, mond, Ind, and inquiries for recrea- tion place where he can spend a pleas ant and profitable evening, will prob ably be told:
 "Go to Rev. Sharp's church; it is almost open and there will be some thing interesting going on."
 Further inquiry will bring out the fact that the Rev. c. J. Sharp is known for his progressiveness, his untiring energy and his joy in his work as a minister.
 Rev. Sharp has built up the mem- bership of his church from scarcely A score to an even 1900, and he explains his success by saying that he believes in making the church the center of social as we'll as religious life, and aims to make the church services and social events so attractive to the pub lie that people will attend in spite of themselves.
 A Jitney service has been started to bring members living at a distance from the church to it's services. Tn the basement of the church are rooms for young peoples clubs, an audito- rum for motion pictures and the Sum- day school has a baseball team, ath- letic and debating clubs.
 The musical members give an opera annually as well as frequent concerts. The men operate building and loan association for the benefit of members needing assistance, and in fact it seems that almost the whole gamut of human need is cared for in this re- ligious organization.
 Rev. Sharp believes in making use of modern devices and methods in the advancement of religious activities since modern institutions and modern progress has been fostered by Chris tianity, heather countries being mo- tably behind in the progress of na- tions.
 This joyous acceptance of the good things of modern times is one of the secrets of the success of the Hammond minister, whose favorite text is said to be:
 "Ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto."

"GALLOPSCIOUS"

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 Mark Twain once wrote that the casual observer upon seeing a woman's lead pen cil would conclude she had sharpened it with her teeth, but he would find on in- vestigation that she had used a hairpin.
 This is tribute to the ability of wom- en to accomplish their ends even under universal adaptability of the wire utensIl found on every dressing table and on every woman's head. The number and variety of things that can be done with this implement are doubtless greater than are possible for any other human inven- tion. There is nothing which she can- not do with hairpin,' from buttoning her shoes to repairing an automobile. The last, achievement was accomplished the other day by young woman whose electric car was stalled in the street. A wire was needed and there was none about save in her hair. She forthwith extracted two or three 'hairpns and car moved on.
 Every mother knows that there Is noth- ing so effective for cleaning the ears of her children, though the doctors object to the use of such unscientific instru- ments, and every boarding school girl has discovered, as one of them felicitously re- marked. that plum jam eaten on a hair pin at midnight is gallopscious." We have no doubt that if put to it a wom- an could build house with no other tool.

THE REAL BABY PARADE

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 The baby pageant at Asbury Park this week was watched by 75,o0O men and women who cheered loudly as toddler after toddler marched by. It was hardly world-shaking event, but 1t received its due of space in the newspapers, and undoubtedly the babies are all the better for little publicity
 The real baby parade-ask any father or mother-does not. however, come but good cheer, and there it resembles Christ mas. But the real baby parade brings good cheer and there it resembles Shrist- mas deply The parade starts very early In the morning. So early that father, who before it came had to rush for the SPA from his suburban apartment, now finds thatshe can take the 7:02 with com fort With tones more emphatic than mu- .sical. the parade starts from the rocking bed (old-falshioned. now considered very bad for babies) or the coop, and heads for the bathroom. Punctuated by halts for refreshment, change of clothing, for avs for talcum powder and all the other tender necessities of militant and mar, h. ing babyhood, the parade continues until the whole magnificent pageantry of tho child is revealed. It is almost incredible that one actor should play so many parts.
 Tn odd thing is that. although the same high heraldy of babyhood is be- ing displayed in the fiat next door, or the house across the way, 1t seems impossible for the onlookers to appreciate any car nival but their own. It makes one almost fancy that parents are partial to their own children. And that. of course, Is i'm possible.

A MILLION DOLLAR SALARY

From the Wall Street Journal
 The report in a western paper that Charles M. Scnwab received $1, ooO,0OO sal- ary as head of the United States Steel |corporation needs correction.
 MT. Schwab did receive the largest sal- ary ever paid outside the domain of Eu- ropean kings and emperors, but 1t was not paid by the United States Steel cor poration. V
 On the contrary, MT. Schwab's contract with MT. Carnegie called for so large a sum as to be stumbling block in the organization of the United States Steel corporation. MT. Schwab thereupon cancelled it and headed the United States Steel corporation at far less salary and just as MT. Morgan wished. few days later MT. Morgan explained to MT. Car negie how nicely Mr. Schwab had acted. MT. Carnegie was astonished. He would never consent that MT. Schwab should not have the full amount MT. Carnegie had by contract guaranteed him. The next day Mir. 9chwab was equally Iastonished to receive from MT. Carnegie a check for several millions in settlement for his full guaranteed salary during the life of his contract.
 That contract called for an annual pay ment in salary and profit-sharing guaran- teed to be not less than N.0oo.oo0 year.

Last of the Education Bills

The decisive vote by which the John compulsory education bill passed the house yesterday will prove most gratifying to all Alabamians who are striving to reduce the large per- centage of illiteracy in this state. This measure should get through the senate this week.
 It is one of four important bills urged by the state department of ed- ucation and the Alabama Educational association, s the others having been adopted at the first session of the legislature-the school tax amendment bill, the illiteracy commission bill and the bill allowing women to serve on boards of education.
 Of the forty-eight states in the union only three are without com pulsory education Georgia.
