WHARTON JURY
 IS STILL OUT

Anniston, March 23.-(Special )-Roberi Hall, a member of the jury sitting in the case of Attorney Perry F. Wharton. who associati ton for alleged misconduct in the trial of case about a year ago, became very ill shortly after the case was given to the jury Monday evening. The jury for that reason did not consider the case Monday night. Juror Hall was still i'll Tuesday morning. but thought he would be able to meet with the other jurors Tuesday afternoon, and Judge Thomas w Coleman of the city court instructed the jury to wait until Juror Hall had recov- cred and render their verdict.
 The trial of this case occupied the time of the court all day Monday. MT. Whar- ton was represented by Attorneys Ruth erford Lapsley and o. M. Alexander, and the state was represented by Solicitor w. c. Tunstall, who was assisted by Attor- ney w. F. AclSer, member of the cen tral committee of the Alabama Bar as- sociation.
 The charges against Attorney Wharton originated during the trial of the case of Misses Dielxert and Landt against the Sellers hospital in the circuit court in May, 1914 It was charged that MT. Wharton had member of the jury in his offices and made an effort to influence his verdict in favor of the hospital company, who was MT. Wharton's client. The case was hotly contested both by the plain tiffs and by the defendants. Charges were consequently preferred by the bar asso- citation against MT. Wharton and he was tried at the fall term of the court. The jury could not agree on verdict and fhe case was carried over until the pres ent term of the city court.

.b[AM|ES UNDERWOOD TARIFF FOR LOSS OF
 STEEL RAIL ORDER
F. M. Jackson Comments on Purchase of Rails in Canada by Illinois
 Central
To the Editor of The Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 No doubt the article appearing on the fifth page of your paper this morning about the Illinois Central railroad buy
 ing rails in Canada instead of buying them in this district has attracted a wide spread interest
 The primary cause of this transac- ton is the Underwood simmons tarin bill, for had not that bill removed the sS.92 per gross ton duty on steel rails this purchase of foreign rails would not have been possible.
 Eliminating this feature of the trans action, the public will not he able to see any economic good coming to the great railroad system which saw fit to purchase this tonnage of rails at a less price by sS from a foreign. country than 1t could have purchased from the Ensley mill the open hearth rail. Surely the purchasing agent had one of two things in view; possibly the two. That is. the mere matter of saving s3 per ton on the rails. or to call the attention of the nation to the revised tariff which cut the duty altogether on steel rails for he certainly cannot figure any eco homie gain in the transaction for the railroads of this country. The Iron Trade Review of the 18th sets out that the railroads lose in freights on raw material 3.65 tons, if Bessemer quality of rail is purchased, and five tons if open hearth quality is purchased per ton finished steel What a contrast to the policy of the Louisville and Nash. vile and Southern railroads in placing large orders for rail in this district By reason of these orders the steel mill Is allowed to operate it's plant a longer period of time, giving employment to wages for various and sundry commodi- ties, and in turn giving employment in some way to every class of our citizens The policy of these roads is highly com mended by the community. Had the Hi nois Central placed this S945,00O order for rail at Ensley instead of in Canada the conditions here would have been greatly helped. But the Underwood Simmons revised tariff working with the Illinois Central railroad shows a broad spirit of philanthropy, in that these two agencies would rather see for eign workmen enjoying full time and d full dinner" pail rather than the people right here in our midst.
 Who will argue that under these con ditions, things are not wrong? The peo- pie of this district had better begin to think. F. NJ JACKSON

Wilson of Birmingham and Little Rock Gives Points About Natural
 Vitalitas

MT J. O. Wilson, for many years a well-known druggist of Birmingham, but for the past 10 years of A. c. Reed Drug company of Little Rock, of which concern he was manager, gives very interesting interview regarding the handling of pro- prietary remedies.
 In all my life l never sold remedy that gave the satisfaction and good re- suits that Vitalitas did" MT.

Two instances he men tions in particular were: One of an old gentleman and a good customer of the store, who had been troubled with rheu- matisin for 15 years. vitaiitas was the first remedy he had ever found to give him complete relief The other was of a lady 65 years old, who had suffered for 25 years with nervous stomach troubles Vitalitas then cured her.
 MT. Wilson adds: q never heard any thing but the greatest of praise for Vi- talitas and never have handled a prepa- ration that sold so fast Mr. Wilson is now in Bessemer, Ala, at the home of &r E. V. Nunnally, Route 3.
 Vltalitas is natures greatest corrective and tonic, and is wonderfully beneficial Tor disoredrs of stomach liver, kidneys bowels and blood.

 HOLDS SESSION IN DECATUR
,.................,..............

men of the state; Judge ! C. Kumpe. probate judge of Lawrence county, and Judge J. H. Nathan of Sheffield
 Al of these witnesses were heartily in favor of exempting from a taxation Tor reasonable period of time new en- terprises, this including the Hydro electrical company, which company pro- poses to develope Muscle Shoals water power. Judge Kumpe was asked if he would favor exempting from taxation the Muscle Shoals Hydro electrical con- pany. He replied: q would favor it in any institution of that kind while 1t Is being organized and built, and money being put into it." He thought 10 years a reasonable length of time for exemp- tion from taxation.
 Judge Nathan thought the thing to from taxation. and he thought that if the Muscle Shoals enterprise was not exempt from taxation for period of years 1t would prohibit the development. The development of the Muscle Shoals water power would bring many manu- featuring plants to north Alabama. and the taxes the state and counties would derive from these enterprises would be so enormous that the amount could not be estimated Judge Nathan thought.
 A night session of the committee is being held tonight and another session will be held tomorrow morning. The committee will adjourn about noon to morrow, perhaps

 of more comment than all else in the report.
 In these four lines Judge Gary speaks of present and of presumptive future con- ditions. IL is customary to consider the business of this corporation as furnish- ing fairly good evidence of general business conditions throughout the United States. The statement made by Judge Gary that since the first of the present year material improvement in the ex- port business has taken place so that now in the middle of March 1t Is equal to the average of the last three years tends to show Eiarked improvement in business. In July of last year, the busi- ness of this corporation was so low that only little in excess of one-fifth of its capacity was used. It maintained its high standard of wages for those whom it was able to employ, but it was com pelled to lay off many thousands of skilled artisans since it had no employ meHt for them. A detailed examination of the report shows that in addition to the fallins eff in export business the decrease in domestic business was in no small measure due to the diminished character of the demand made by the railroad companies. particularly for steel rails. Herein is contained statement or factS which is said here to confirm the position taken by railway managers and many of tho business leaders that the prosperity of the railroads bears a most intimate relation to the prosperity of the people.
 Alter the European war began, the Steel corporation found it's export trade almost at standstiiI. That was due to the fact that almost all of the commodities made and marketed by the corporation We're of a kind not directly needed for war material. Yet 1t was evident by October that the demands from Europe, even those from Jalar and Russia, for war material would within a short time create demand for commodities manufactured by the Steel corporation and would prob ably, indirectly. at least, influence the foreign trade of this corporation. That this influence has already been felt and is likely to continue is the meanng be- hino Judge Garys statement that at pres- ent the export business is equal to the average of the iast three years.
 The indirect manner by which the de- mand for war material at last affects domestic industry and reaches the bust ness of the Steel corporation itself can he Illustrated by the statement that it is

ANNISTON

Anniston. March 23.-(Speeial) Ut looks as if Dr. J. L. Wikle, Anniston's bachelor mayor will be forced to run matrimonial bureau against his will. He received letter Monday morning from a young lady in Birmingham who read in the papers that Dr. Wikle had assisted a Kentucky girl by finding her d husband, and she wanted the mayor to do like service for her. The young lady, who says she is stenographer, in the Empire building, modestly ad- mits that she is IS years old and good looking. She also adds that she is very popular in society.
 Mayor Wikle recently had similar request from young lady who lives at Bowling Green, Ky, and Dr. Wikle was swamped with letters and telephone calls from prospective grooms-elect. As only one of the candidates could have the Kentucky girl, Dr. Wikle will refer them to the Alabama lass at Birming- ham. Not being personally acquainted with the girl, pr. Wikle refuses to make any recommendations whatever other than suggest that any one interested visit the party before committing him self.
 
 The joint legislative committee on judiciary will reach this city on Fri day, and while no formal entertainment has been arranged, the members of the Anniston bar and court officials are looking for their visit with much in- terest Probate Judge John M. Crook received d letter Monday from Chair man W. c. Davis of the committee ask ing for certain information which will be of service to the committee when it reaches this place. A. H. Shepherd, clerk of the city court, and w. A. Orr, clerk of the circuit court, have also received letters from MT. Davis thanking them for their prompt response to the re quests for information concerning cases tried in their respective courts.
 Congressman Fred l.. Blackmon is still working for an aviation camp to be maintained in this city in connection with the artillery practice camp which will be organized here this summer. MT. Blackmon thinks there is little doubt of the government providing for such a camp here, Is this has been recommend : ed by army officials an ideal loca- tion for the camp. A high army official who was interviewed recently with ref erence to the local artillery camp, stated that so far as he knows there has been no hitch in the plans to have the artillery camp at Anniston. He stated that the Mexican situation would have no bearing on the local situation.
