Judge c. S. Jelley La Bar is under
indictment on charges of sWindling
and grand larceny in connection with
the operations OF fake wire tapping

Albert H. Hall, counsel for La Bar,
explained to Judge Jelley that he had
meant nothing personal when, in argu-
Ing against an increase in the prison
er's bail, he said he hoped the court
would have the moral courage to
base the bail on the facts and not on
the gossip of newspapers and on the
wishes of county officials" Judge Jel-
ley accepted the explanation. La Bar
was not prepared to furnish the in
creased bail and was returned to the
county Jail.
The clash between Mr.. Hall and
Judge Jelley came when La Bar was
arraigned on grand larceny charge
just voted by the grand jury.
Il hope when the court fixes bail it
will have the moral courage to base it

BANKERS HEAR HIGHEST PRAISES OF MAN WHO IS TO BE NEW HEAD OF FIRST NATIONAL

Oscar Wells of Dallas, Tex, will be elected president of the First Nation al bank and J. H. Barr will be pro- noted to the chairmanship of the board at meeting of the directors to be held during the latter part of this month. MT. Wells will become eres- ident just as soon as possible. State ments to this effect were made yes- terday in banking circles.
 Since the announcement that Mi. Wells was to come here from the gov enorship of the regional bank at Dal- las to take the place vacated by the promotion of MT. Barr, there has been more or less interest and inquiry as to the personality of the banker. From every source there have been heard the most flattering statements. He is accredited with being undoubtedly T great financier and for his tact and diplomacy there has been nothing but the highest praise.
 MT. Wells will prove a wonderful addition. to this city and to the First National bank said Robert Jemison, ST, yesterday.

This Is Way Judge Hertz berg Sizes Up Situation

l.. L. Herzberg. judge of probate of Etowah county, was here yesterday en route home after visit to Mont gomery. Judge Herzberg was interested in some local bills affecting Gadsden and went to Montgomery to give the law makers the "once over" He said yes-
 terday that apparently no one knew what to expect or what the lawmakers had in mind.
 My visit to Birmingham and Mont gomery was simply in the interest of the diversfication movement and some local legislation at Montgomery said Judge Herzberg yesterday. q came here to the diversflcation meeting and later went to Montgomery.
 "Gadsden is progressing fast. We are suffering very little from the effects Of the war and while some hesitation was to be noticed in connection with cotton sales at the beginning of the war, this situation is fast adjusting itself and our merchants are not discouraged. I be- lieve firmly in the ability of this section to adjust itself to any conditions.
 Birmingham is apparently doing fine. see evidences of progress every time come here. There is one proposition tlat wish the authorizes of our two counties could get together on and that is splendid macadam pike from here to Gadsden. We now have very good road, but there should almost be boule- ward between these two cities. You know that in Gadsden we have a great many citizens who own automobiles and who have friends in Birmingham owning cars.

POLL TAX PAYMENTS ARE SHORT SlO,929
County School Fund Will Be Minus This Amount
 This Year


 The amount received in Jefferson county from the payment of poll tax is nearly sll. 1000 shortY of the amount received last year. The total number of peoples.paying poll tax for the year closing February 1 was 10,1i4, of which 9650 were for the current year and 1064 for back years. The Figures for the preceding year were a total of 1S,000, of which 12,000 were for the current year and 5000 for back years. These figures show that 2350 persons failed to pay poll tax this year who had qualified last year, the removals from the county and losses by death being more than counterbalanceG by the newcomers to the county or those coming of age.
 It is the opinion of many that in- dustrial conditions are responsible for the shortage while others contend that it is due to the fact that there Is no political campaign actively in evidence at this time. The fact remains, how ever, that the school fund will be short S10,929 from what was turned in from poll taxes last year.

25O WITNESSES IN STANDARD HOME CASE TOMORROW People From All Over Uni ted States Are Here to Testify in the Fed
 eral Court

The trial of the Standard Home com pany, a local institution charged with operating a lottery and using the malls for fraudulent purposes. will be con- menced tomorrow morning before Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States court. The case is one of more than usual in- terest as over 950 witnesses from almost every state in the union have been sum- moned either for the government or for the defense. Quite number of witnesses are already in the city. several of them from the extreme western states of Wash ington and Oregon.
 On account of the large number of wit nesses summoned it is estimated that the trial will last at least two weeks and that the costs of the hearing will run into the thousands. The pleadings have been practically settled, Judge Grubb hold ing last Thursday that the indictments were valid and everything tho demurrers of the defendants attorneys.
 Former District Attorney Oliver D. Street and his assistant, Charles B. Ken nemar have been retained by the gov ernment to prosecute these suits, the present district attorney being disuuali- fled as he was of former counsel for the defendant company. Judge B. M Allen and E. N. Hamill are among the local attorneys retained for the defense.
 There are a number of other indict- ments against the defendant company and it's officials returned by a special grand jury organized for the purpose of investiga ting certain charges of conspir- acy in connection with the pending suit.
 The defendant company denied each and every one of the allegations charged in the indictments and asked that tho public reserve it decision in the matter until the case has been finally adjudi- cated.
