 NIGHT IN ENGLAND kaiser's Spokesman Aboard
 Vessel Detained by Brit ish Warships

London, June 24.-t9:12 p. m.)-Uu- known to the British public Dr. Bern hard Dernburg, whose propaganda in favor of Germany while he was on a visit to the United States, created much comment. spent last night aboard tile Norwegian steamer Bergensfjord in the harbor Of Kirkwall Orkney Islands.
 Tonight however, pr. Dernburg Is rrocAeding to Sweden on his way to Germany aboard the Bergensfjord, which was detained at kirkwall yes terday presumably on suspicion that she carried contraband The steamer was released late today
 The news that the Bergensfjord had been taken into kirkwall did not be- come known until the release of the vessel was announced.
 The predicament of pr. Dernbure in being forced to spend the night in a Scotch port Is considered here as anus ing. He was in no danger of being stopped by British officials in view of the promise to give him free passage. He did not leave the steamer while the examination of her cargo was being made.
 Berlin. through Swedish adyices. learned Of the detention of the Ber- gensfjord last night.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Howle Makes Statement

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
 l should like to make a brief state ment through your columns
 Some weeks ago MT. J. s. Brown and myself were indicted on a charge of having levied blackmail on Smith Cullom Jr.
 The facts in the case are that an article had been written and printed in which MT. Cullom's name appeared merely as an incident and in no wise reflecting discredit upon Mr. Cullom
 At the solicitation of friend of MT. Cullom a change was made in the article necessitating the printing of an entirely new edition of the Searchlight MT. Culloms reimbursing the publishers for same.
 The suggested change not detract- ing from the purport of the article, it was agreed to.
 This is the sum total of the transac- tion.
 Furthermore. Mir J. S. Brown was not att the time connected with tn. Searchlight and had nothing to do with the matter.
 My reason for making this statement is to ask the public to withhold judg- n,ent until the supreme court passes upon the same as l feel sure no offense has been committed.
 It is the effort of certain interesets 10 suppress my paper. However, the Searchlight will continue to be cir oulated. J. T. HOWLE

THEO LACY WILL
 APPEAR BEFORE
 PROBE COMMITTEE
No Assurance Given That Convict Will Tell of En- bezzlement of State
 Funds

Montgomery June e4-(Special )--Theo Lacy, former chief clerk of the state con vict department, charged with the em- bezzlement of more than s1o00oo of state funds, and who is now serving a 10-year sentence in the penitentiary after being convicted on one indictment will appear on the witness stand before the legisla- tive Investigating committee at 10 o'clock Saturday morning according to an sn- nouncement made yesterday afternoon by Chairman H. P. Merritt of the committee. No assurances have been given the com mittee that Lacy will tell the story of his flight from Montgomery in 1913, or that he will disclose all the secrets in connection with his mysterious disappear ance with the states money. It was sim ply announced that Lacy will be placed on the witness stand Saturday
 Lacys flight from Alabama caused one of the biggest sensations ever connected With the criminal history of the state He ieft bearing with him upward of s1o0, 900 state funds After remaining at large Tor almost year he suddenly appeared at the Montgomery county jail and sur rendered
 He was tried on two indictments, given 10 years on one and six years on the other. He has never yet made a state ment as to where he was hiding during the time that he was away from the cap ital, neither has he ever mentioned the name of any person as being his accom- plice.
 James G. Oakley, who was president of the state convict department at the time or Lacys disappearance, was tried two times on charges of embezzlement and was acquitted in both cases.
 When the legislative committee first met it was suggested that it would have Theodore Lacy as witness before it. Later several members of the committee conferred with Lacy at various times Recently several conferences between the convicted man and committee members have been held.
 Since being placed in the penitentiary at Wetumpka Lacy has had charge of the Bertillon system of identification. He is said to have attained much proficiency in this work.

CONDEMNED NEGRO
 GRANTED RETRIEVE
Governor Grants Early Morris a Stay of
 Execution

Montgomery, June A-tSpecial )-Gover- nor Henderson today issued a seven day reprieve to Early Morris, condemned negro murderer, who was to have been executed today at Dadeville, Tallapoosa county. Notice of the stay of execu- ton was sent this afternoon to the sheriff of Tallapoosa county The gover- nor will not interfere in the cases of Syd Jones and Lon Carter of Jefferson county and Tim Sharpe of Calhoun coun- ty three murderers condemned to die. TWO other negroes were sentenced to be executed today. but because one escaped and an application for a rehearing was filed by the other. the sentences will not be carried out. Pomp Dickerson of Lee county escaped last Sunday night and an application for a rehearing was filed by Willard Carpenter of Jefferson county. The certificate in Carpenters case has been withdrawn by the supreme court, but no action has been taken on the ap- plication for a rehearing.
 Morris, the Tallapoosa county negro who was reprived, was convicted on a charge of wife murder It Is understood that new evidence has been discovered in his case, and attorneys for the negro hope to have his sentence commuted to one of life imprisonment.
 Syu Jones, who VIII be executed tomor- row at Birmingham, was serving a life term in the state pententiary at Flat Top mines when he killed a fellow con vict. Inasmuch as he was serving life sentence the only penalty that could be inflicted on the negro was the death pen alty.
 Tim Sharpe of Calhoun county was con- victed of complicity in the killing of two policemen at Anniston. He was carried to the Jefferson county jail at Birming- ham flor safekeeping shortly after his conviction. He has been taken back to Anniston and will be executed tomorrow
 No word has been received of Pomp Dickerson, the Lee county negro who was to have been hanged tomorrow al Opelika Dickerson was convicted of killing his wife. A reward of s20o for his arrest has been offered by the state and an addi- uonal reward of s200 has been offered by Sheriff John l.. Moon of Lee county.

NEW DEMAND FOR
 LABOR MANIFEST

Washingto June 24.-War orders from Europe, the prospective record breaking crop of wheat now being har- vested and heavy yields of other grains are creating a new demand for labor according to indications at the gov ernment employment office in the de partment of labor.
 Requests for workers are coming from many manufacturers and farmers throughout the country and from state labor commissioners.
 Oklahoma is said to need from 16,000 to 1S,00O harvest hands and Kansas 35,0
 An Oregon association has applied for 1000 berry pickers. An arms and ammunition plant in Connecticut has asked for 300 men. Zinc and lead mines in Missouri need 1000 laborers. A Maryland steel company has applied for hands. In West Virginia 2000 coal mine employees are wanted
 So far the department has been more successful in the cities than in the country in placing men who want work

NO MAIL WILL BE SENT TONEUTRALS
 THROUGH BRITAIN
Complaints That Censors Are Opening Letters From U. s. Leads Officials to
 Change Routing

Washington. June e4-complaints that censors tamper with neutral mail passing through Great Britain resulted today in the issuance of an order by mnii from the United States for Nor why. sweden. Denmark and The Meth erIands he dispatched on steamers saii- ing direct.
 This is the remedy suggested by the Swedish minister who recently filed with the state department evidence that mail from the United States had been censored in Englapd. As the countries in which mails originate control the routing, the order will affect only out going mail. It is expected here. how ever. that similar steps soon will be pean neutrals.
 Under the new arrangement mails to the northern countries will not leave as frequently. but there are sev- eral regular direct steamer lines and no serious delays are looked for.
 The postoffice department order was announced in the following statement:
 Because of reports that United States mail destined for Norway, Swe- den, Denmark and The Netherlands in transit through belligerent countries have been opened and censored Post master General Burleson has directed that until further orders the dis patches of all mails for those countries shall be made by vessels sailing direct thereto and not touching at any port of belllgerents.'
 A general inquiry into alleged tam- pering with mails, at home and abroad, is being conducted by the postoffice de- partment. charges having been made that official embassies and legations of belligerent countries have opened United States railway mail cars.
 Sweden. it is said. has protested sharply to London against interference with malls According to information reaching here Swedish firms have suf- fered so greatly from interruption of their correspondence with American concerns that their business actually is threatened with ruin.
