Mrs. Rhoad Entertains Cradle Roll.

Last Friday afternoon just before
five o'clock many little children with
their mothers began to gather at the
home of Mrs. w. D. Rhoad, super
intendent of the Cradle Roll depart
ment of Trinity Methodist Sunday
school. 1t was truly an interesting
sight to watch the bright faces Of
these little tots, as they in a Ian
guage all their own chatted with each
other, romped and played happy as
little birds. After an hour of social
intercourse among the older ones,
delightful cream, cake and dainty
crackers were served.
Mrs. Rhoad is ever on the alert to
promote the interest of this depart
ment of Sunday-school work. Her
annual entertainment is only one fea-
ture. Her work among the little
ones tell in various ways. The roll
now numbers thirty-four. They have
sent ten dollars this year to the Ep-
worth orphanage.
Some one has said: The child oc-
cupies the midst today as never be-
fore in the history of the world. If
the world is to be redeemed physical
1y, mentally, morally, and spiritual
ly, it must be through the child.
When we realize the great truth ex-
pressed in these words we are i'm
pressed with the Importance and
magnitude of this department of Sun
day-school work. No other depart
ment is so full of possibilities. The
training of the child for great things
must begin from the cradle.

LACY STARTS TO
SERVE HIS Ten
YEAR SENTENCE
Former Chief Clerk of Ala
ALBANIA State Convict Blu
reau Enters Penitentiary
With Strong Declaration
Of Proving His Innocence
Shortly.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Montgomery. Ala, Feb. 22.-Theo
Lacy, former chief clerk of the state
convict bureau began serving a ten
year sentence in the Alabama state
prison at Wetuinpka today. the state
court of appeals having recently aft
firTl1ed a conviction on charge of en-
bezzling $4,000.
Lacw was tried on another indictment
recently and received a sentence of
six years which sentence is now before
the court of appeals. Other ildict-
ments against Lacy and James G.
Oakley former head OF the convict de-
partment are expected to be reached
BY the Montgomery county criminal
court which convened today.
Lacy disappeared in March 1913, af-
ter having drawn about 100000 of the
departments money from local hanks
on the pretext Of making a cash set
element with the state treasurer.
Large rewards were offered for his
apprehension. In january 1914, Lacy
walked into the county Jail here and
surrendered None of the money has
ever been recovered.
Before entering the penitentiary,
Lacy issued q statement asserting his
belief that he would ultimately prove
his innocence OF any unlawful intent.
His unbroken silence has been a shield
for certain friends. he declared

Attorneys for Company and
State Appear Before
Judge Sheppard.
MUST GO BEFORE
CIRCUIT JUDGES
Question Was On the Pay
nent to the State By the
Pullman Car Co. of the
Gross R e ceip is I ak.
Which Has Been Held
Constitutional BY Courts.

The Pullman Company's gross re-
ceipts tax case came up before Judge
w. B. Sheppard of the United States
court yesterday for a hearing. when
John E. Hartridge of Jacksonville, rep-
resenting the Pullman Company, and
Attorney General Thos. F. West, for
Florida, appeared before the court.
The question was on the payment by
the company of the amount due the
state on the new tax The law, passed
by the last legislature, has been held
constitutional by the supreme court OF
the United States, but the company
has not yet paid over the amount,
there being some point in dispute on
to whom the tax should be paid. The
amount involved covers the states per-
centage of the companyss gross re-
ceipts in Florida on Pullman and chair
cars for a period of two years.
The attorney general presented q
motion that the company be instruct
ed to pay over TO the state treasurer
the amount due, but in the argument
that followed it developed that the
original order had been signed by the
three circuit judges, ard Judge Shep-
pard held therefore that he had no
Jurisdiction in the matter and the case
necessarily, must go before the circuit
judges.

APPROPRIATIONS for National
Defenses Discussed at Lengh
Senate Inreases Amount for
Aviation to One Million
Dollars and Also Provides
for More Submarines.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Feb. 22.-Appropria-
lions for national defense occupied the
attention Of both houses of congress
today In the rush to dispose Of supply
bills before the session adjourns. Sem
ate discussed until late hour tonight
the army appropriation bill carrying
approximately one hundred and three
million dollars, while the house con-
tinued to debate on the Notifications
bill.
While progress was being made on
both these measures the senate com
mittee practically completed its con-
sideration of the naval appropriations
measure. The senate paused for four
minutes to pass without debate the
pension bill, carrying one hundred and
sixty four millions Increases for SUBJ.
marines and aviation of the provf-
sions in the house bill. recommended
by the senate committee on naval af-
fairs were put in the measure which
will total Approximately one hundred
and fifty millions. One million dollars
for aviation was proposed instead of
three hundred thousand as authorized
in the house BILL
Provision was also made for the con
StTuctlOn OF SIX Sea-golng SuULldTInSS
instead of one, and sixteen instead of
eleven of the smaller type OF sub
marines.
Regarding the gress being made
in appropriations there were indica-
lions today that not all the bills win
be passed, whether the ship purchase
bill is reported back from conference or
not. Several democratic senators said
it might been necessary to adopt some
emergency resolutions in the closing
hours OF the sessions.
In the house debate, Representative
Mondell of Wyoming, republican, said
he regretted what he considered the
Unreasonable batting OF foreign people
continually by procIaiming the possi-
bility or certainty Of an armed strug-
gle with Japan.
