THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York. June 15-The prominence and importance of this country as tenn porary center of world finance was again demonstrated today when English and French rates of exchange manifested greater weakness than at any time since New York entered seriously into the field of international banking.
 Demand sterling declined to s4. 76ss and checks on Paris were sold at S5. 45s4 This puts the buying power of the English pound and French franc in this country at the lowest levels recorded in over 50 years, and offers additional proof of the enormous quantity of credits held by American bankers and manufacturers. mainly as a result of the large war or ders now under contract
 On the basis quoted today an English pound shows a depreciation of per cent and francs are at a discount of almost 4 per cent
 Exchange on other European countries approached recent low quotations today Italian remittances, on very light ex- changes. showed a discount of about .5 perecent, while the rate on Petrograd was quoted at discount of 24c No actual transa ctions between this market and the Russian capital were reported.

SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

would be a place. Several hours aftel she took the girl to house. sparely furnished but neat and clean; this. in real ity makeshift as it was was the dream come true-the home for women con- victs in this city and county.
 Everybody that knows the welfare de- partment at all knows Mrs. Searight with her fair mind and splendid courage could accomplish all this. Done without money or political influence without aid or advertisement done because of the knowledge of long hours of work along these lines, with the conviction that if there is still some bad in the best of US there is always some good in the worst of us. and the right path was not the way to the city jail
 The jails are bad in Birmingham The foul stories are for the most part true, and that the jails are in no condition for a woman to stay in, no matter who that woman may be, is undoubtedly true. But at least now we may say with civic pride even the most lowly of our sisters may be decently housed while they serve out their sentence. for no woman, no matter what the offense may be, need be sent to the jail.
 She is taken at once upon arrest to the detention home unless by her desire she wishes to stay at the jail until she has made bond. The bond must be signed by the warden and Is not so conveniently gotten at the home. Every prisoner Is allowed to make bond Should the ar rest be made at night the prisoner may be kept in the warden's rooms until the bond Is made.
 The home Is comfortably near East Lake and now holds 13 prisoners. These women are absolutely free as far as the house and grounds are concerned. A matron is constantly in charge, the women do the work of the home, attend to the kitchen. the garden and the needs of those that are i'll.
 small industry has also been estab- lished there. This detention home Is making the overalls and shirts for the street cleaning department. and the profit made on them goes to the maintenance of the home. By degrees this work will make the home self-sustaining.
 The pay for federal prisoners is also a great aid in defraying expenses.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-06-16

Amsterdam was the only foreign mar ket to manifest any degree of steadiness. a fact ascribed to the purchase of bills on Holland by local bankers who are as- stunned to have liquidated more American securities for German holders.
 There is an increasing realization that rates of exchange between New York and all leading Eupropean points most in- eyitably suffer further depreciation un-
 less Lonodon and Paris soon replenish their credits here. So far as is known no steps in this direction have yet been taken. Rumors of the placing of large part of a forthcoming British war loan here are denied by those in authority French bankers are reported to be nego- tiating the sale of large amounts of our securities by home investors and the pro- ceeds of such a transaction would go far toward restoring the equilibrium between New York and Paris.
 In the face of today's disorder in the exchange market more gold came rom Canada, making a total of $73000,000 rts ceived from that source since the begi n- ring of tho year. Tokio cables reported an engagement of an additional $750. b00. increasing the inflow from that quarte14 to about &, 100000
 It is possible that a temporary ad dtust- ment may be effected tomorrow in cDnse- quence of the Bank of England's release of slo,0O0.0Oo foreign gold coin. presumably for shipment to this country.

THINGS HEARD AT

 Concerning Vitalitas

Among the hundreds of visitors at the Vitalitas demonstration at Averyt's drug store here are a few expressions taken at random:

It was suggested that try Nitaltas. 1t has reached the cause and l now eat anything my fancy de- sires: am not bothered with aches and pains and rheumatism Vitaltas did the work. MT. s.

AFTER STATEMENT
 FROM THEO LACY
Probe Committeeman Con- fer With Former Clerk,
 But He Is Silent

Montgomery, June 15.-(SpeciaL Members of the legislative investigating committee have been making efforts re- gently to obtain a statement from Thec Lacy, convicted of embedding state funds and several conferences with this end in view have been held by the com mitteemen and Lacy at the Wetumpka penitentiary. The most recent cen ference was held last Friday when Chairman Merritt, Representative Green and Senator Denson interviewed the convict.
 Recently in Birmingham Senator Den son made the statement that the corn mittee would have some important in formation concerning Lacy and his S100,0o0 dedication, but thus far none of this information has been made public.
 For a time it was thought that Lacy would be placed on the witness stand before the committee. but thus far he has not come to Montgomery
 Lacy has never divulged anything in connection with his sudden disappear ance from Montgomery in 1913 at which time he carried with him approximately S1o0,o00 in state funds
 Officials at the capitol have evinced much interest in the visits of the com mittee members to Wetumpka and vari- ous theories are offered Some hold the idea that Lacy is "stringing" the com mittee, while others believe that the body will be able to obtain some irn- portant information

NO WOMAN PRISONER NOW NEED BE
 TAKEN TO THE JAILS OF BIRMINGHAM

The recorder had just passed sentence on slim little girl, who had yet reached her twenties: 90 days was the time: the ofense was one of the usual disorderly conduct kind.
 Alter moment, the girl. her whols body shaken with righteous anger, turned
 and faced the judge; a torrent of words came indignantly from her, words burn ing with sarcasm and filled with awful
 truths. Would a sentence of 90 days make better woman of her? Was she to blame for the offense when economic req sons
 had forced her fall? What would become of her when her time" was up? On and
 on she went, accusing the state, her en-
 Vironment, society, until exhausted she stood waiting for some sign of hope
 Nobody had ever heard of "hope" for a woman in police court, at least nobody of her kind
 And while she waited the long thought of plan of a sweet-faced gray-haired woman became no longer a dream the time had come to act. though still vague and visionary the dream began to take shape, and become a reality. The gray haired woman rose, and placing her hand on the girls shoulder, asked the Judge to allow her to take the girl to the detention home. The judge stared. Where Was the detention home? Such a place was never heard of, and yet this woman so well known. always ready to befriend the girls, had asked to take a prisoner there
