STEELE PRESIDENT
 OF ANN|STON CLUB Will Pilot Team in Race for Flag in the Georgia
 Alabama League

The -Anniston Baseball club of the Geor- gia-Alabama league has elected r. M. Steele for manager for the 1915 season.
 MT. Steele was picked from among a number of candidates. Anniston fans have expressed themselves as being well pleased with the selection. Steele was last year with the Opelka club in the Georgia Alabama league. managing that club dur ing the latter part of the 1914 season. He played the outfield for Opelilka, but will likely play one of the infeld posi- tions at Anniston. Last season he was one of the best hitters In the Georgia Alabama league. Also the records for the seasons of 1912 and 1913 will show that he was among the leading htters in the Cotton States league.
 From the players left over from last seasons team, and from the recruits who have already signed up for try-outs at Anniston this spring. Manager Steele will, 1t is thought, be able to enter the race with strong lineup.
 At the league park there the grass in- field Is being thoroughly worked over. All the old dead grass fs being raked away, grass seed sown in all the bare places. so that the diamond will be in first-elass condition when the players re- port The fence will be repaired and the wall<ways in the grandstand patched and everything made ready for the ac- commodation of a record-breaking crowd here on opening day.

HENDERSON SIGNS
 MILITARY MEASURE
Provides Annual Appropria- tion of $15,000 for the
 National Guard

Montgomery, March 24.-tSpecial. )--Gov- ernor Mcpherson today signed Represen- tative Huhbard's bill providing an annual appropriation of s15.o0o for the next four years for the Alabama National Guard. The appropriation will be used in pay ment of the expenses of the annual en- campments, the various military maneu- vers held. rifle practice and for other purposes
 The appropriation for military purposes for the next four years is sl0,0o0 less an nually than the appropriation made by the legislature of 1911. and officials of the state military department are of the opiiiion that unless the legislature in July increases the military fund they will not have sufficient money to keep the depart ment up to the standard.
 The expenses of the military depart ment during tho past four years aggre- gated something like $s5,o0O or s4o0oo an- nually, considerable part of the cost of running the department having been pat out of the general fund.
 In addition to the military appropra- ton bill. Governor Henderson today signed six other measures passed by the legislature at it's recent session.
 One of these bills was theSMerrtt meas- ure reducing the number of examiners of puhlic accounts from seven to five. and tho other bills were local
 These included Representa- tive Black wells bill to fix the time for paying cer- tihcates against the fine and forfeiture fund or Calhoun county: the Keyser bill authorizing the payment of the cost of advertising notice of bills for Monroe county and Representative Fftes bill au- thcrizing the commissioners court of Ma rion county to appropriate money to pay certificates of state witnesses

TAX COMMITTEE COMPLETES WORK
 AT NEW DECATUR
Day Is Given to Getting Views on Taxation of
 Muscle Shoals

Decatur, March 24-fSpecial.)-The tax committee appointed by the state legis- lature completed their work here today and left this afternoon for Montgomery and from there will go to Dothan. To- days session was confined almost wholly to the exemption from taxation water powers, and this had a direct bearing upon the development of the water power at Muscle Shoals in the Tennes- see river below Decatur.
 Several witnesses thought that the ap- propriation for the state normal schools especially the school at Florence, should be increased Several witnesses thought the normal school at Florence should have S2o,000 a year.
 The following testimony is of much interest to this section of the state from the fact that it has a great bearing on the development of Muscle Shoals water power:
 Dr. H. w. Blair of Sheffield: O What do you think about the exemption rom taxation of water powersP A. l think we should exempt them. I believe the hope for our state Is in new indus
 
 ward them the sooner we will be able to accomplish what We desire
 MT. John T. Ashcraft of Florence; His argument before the committee was entirely on the question of the exernp- ton rom taxation of water powers. In speaking of the development he said ::
 You have not got this industry to tax now and if by offering some inducement IT py saying to the government that we really want 1t, if by being willing to carry II along without added expense for short period. we can induce the jnau- guration of the enterprise, shall we not pc very great gathers? This state did undertake to do that in 1907 when they passed the power laws making this ex- emption. As response to that invita- tion' after beating the whole financial pushes rom one end of the earth to the other, capital did become interested and they have submitted to the govern ment a proposition which the engineers recommend as being fair aud reasonable They came in response to the invita- ton of Alabama extended in. that way. Ihey came relying upon the state of Alabama to fulfill that obligation Con- gress has acted on, that faith the board d1 engineers have acted on, the faith of that invitation, and if you, as members or the legislature, repeal these exemp- ton laws now, you might as well repu- diatc the bonds of Alabama as 10 repeal this law. You earInot do it in any honor you cannot do it in any good faith"
 MT. C. M. Southall of Florence: "The question of the exemption from taxation of water power developments seems to me such small question that no one should be against that. It is customary think, in every country and every com runity to be favorable to new enter prises especially when these seem kind of an experiment. It is not conceivable to me that anyone would be so thought less as to want to do anything that would prevent the development of such vast enterprise as we are interested in here in north Alabama, and as stated before the state at large will become the beneficiary Of.

BARONS TASTE VICTORY AT LAST, WINNING FROM
 THE HAVANA REDS

Orlando. Fla. March 24-(Special)--In fielding and excellent pitching, the Bar ons defeated the crack Havana Reds at Exposition park this afternoon. The score was to ?.
 It was the first real bah game the Barons had participated in this season, and although three errors were chalked up against the Birmingham club, they were in the game with the old pepper and fighting spirit all the time. On the other hand, the cubans. who have de- feated the Athletics, the Philadelphia Na- tionals, the Chicago Cubs and the Louis vile "slggers" in their F'loridian tour. played fast ball and only the airtight pitching of Burleigh Grimes and Dave Roth held the enemy in check.
 The game started as all other affairs this spring with the opposing club get ting the jump. Rodes sent a long fly to Sloan, Gonzales singled and stole sec- ond, Herrara singled. scoring Gonzales A wild throw by Grimes to first advanced Herrera to third. Liyan struck out and Herrera was caught off third on a snap throw by Hale. That ended the Cubans scoring until the ninth, when they threw a bad scare into the Baronial camp.

SEEK TO AROUSE INTEREST
 IN STATE ROAD BUILDING

Montgomery, March 24.--(speoiai.)-For the purpose of stimulating interest among the counties of the state in road-building. Governor Henderson this afternoon ad- dressed letter to the several probate judges of the state offering to lease state eonvicts to the counties desiring to use them for road development.
 The state convicts. according to Gov ernor Henderson. may be secured from the convict department lat a nominal consideration, subject to the approval of the governor" The counties arc required to provide suitable cages and barracks to insure proper care and attention to the prisoners"
 The governor urges the probate judges to take the matter up with their county commissioners, and that they give notice in advance of their intention to engage state conv.cts.
 Folowing is his letter:
 Many of the counties of the state are
