COLUMBUS SCHOOLS
 DECLARED UNSAFE
Judge Carroll Threatens to Have Board Indicted Unless Measures
 Are Taken to Remedy Defects

Columbus, Miss, September 1s.-(Spe- cial. )--In open court today Judge T. B. Carroll. who is presiding over the fall term of circuit court, now in session here. declared that unless the trustees speedily remedied existing defects in local public school buildings which tend to place in jeopardy not only the health but the lives of children in attendance, he would have them indicted by the grand jury. The threat was provoked by a clause in the report of the inauisitorial body which declares that the doors at Franklin academy are not properly con structed; that the fire escape at Union academy Is in such bad shape as to be pra ctieally useless and there Is no fire escape whatever at the Barrow Memorial school.
 Conditions at local public schools are so crowded and so generally unsatis- factory that joint meeting of teachers and patrons was held at the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon and commit tee appointed to circulate a petition re- questing the city council to immediately provide for the erection of a new high school building.

Instructions to German submarine commanders on this point are very precise and definite, and go as far as is possible to eliminate the possibility of error or accident. It rests very largely now with our oppon- ents, therefore to provide the necessary remaining safeguards for voyages by in- structing masters to avoid suspicious or hostile actions or attempt at f1ight-per- haps best done by revoking the orders to attack submarines whenever possible and the promised reward for such actions"
 Neutral merchantmen, including Ameri- cans, are exempt from interference, as stated long ago except when carrying coh- traband, said the foreign minister. and will then be destroyed only under the conditions laid down in the international code concerning maritime war when pro- vision is made for the safety of those aboard"
 To Protect American Interests
 These two catagories reciting sub marine procedure against passenger ships and neutral owned ships cover cases wherein the interests of the United States may be involved, and confine the appfi- cation of retaliatory measures to shipping owned by beligerents-a field which be- longs to the belligerents themselves to regulate.
 Sometime ago President Wilson ten dered his good offices to bring about modification of these retaliatory meas ures. Germany then promptly signified readiness to take advantage of this friendly offer and is still ready to do SO.

ment The various court bills, amended by Senator Judge in a manner desired by the bar of Jefferson county, and in a manner regarded as necessary for the rapid transaction of legal business in as great subdivision as Jefferson coun- ty, will be in the hands Monday of mem- bers of a conference committed: and these members may in a trice undo all that Senator Judge in several weeks has accomplished And no help comes from Birmingham.
 Other Important Measures
 And there bends in the house the bill which would transfer from the treasury of Jefferson county to the Urea asury of the city of Birmingham s6o,0oo in each of two years. A delegati tion could easily, 1t is believed impress on the house the justice of the position of the city. And there Is pending the five-commssioner bill, desired by just a handful of poli- ticians which could be sidetracked by a little effort of the determined and mili- tant nature.
 The lack of attention on the part of Birmingham Is aptly illustrated In the effect of the public utility bill. As is remembered, in the beginning, Blrming- ham made frantic efforts to secure the passage of the omnibus bill. Tn that bill the city was given the right to con- trol and regulate telephone lines. It eventually passed. And then there came i the Denson bill giving the right. achieved by Birmingham after vigorous efforts on the part of its representatives. to the state, and depriving the city at the same time, of rights possessed for years to regulate and control other utilities oper- ating wholly or in greater part within it's corporate limits.
 It Is regarded as certain that in the future politicians in Birmingham and lief ferson will run for office on the ground that the legislature did this or left that i undone. And possibly, according to the idea which now prevails. no one will recall that for the legislative crimes oi commission and omission indifference or the part of Birmingham and Jefferson county will Be. it Is contended. in the main responsible.
