ABERCROMBIE SETS
 RECORD STRAIGHT
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

| io tue Iultor OI me ABe-Herald: Several typographical errors oc-
 cured in the second paragraph of my
 statement as published in The Age Herald of this date. For instance, the word before" was substituted for the
 word after" thereby causing me to
 make an erroneous statement There were other errors Typographical in character.
 In view of those errors, and in or der that the record may be kept straight, l am writing to request that you republish that paragraph In cor rected form, which is as follows: "Evidently the senator forgot for the moment our conversation in his office in the capitol at Washington not long after the last primary election in Alabama, in which conversation he stated that the state would be redis- tricted for congressional purposes at the next session of the legislature; that he had in mind the formation of
 new district to be composed of the counties that were named in the Brind- ley bill as introduced; that the creation of such a district would separate Tus- caloosa and Walker counties, thereby removing the conflict in political ann bitions between his son, William B. Bankhead, and Congressman Oliver should oppose such separation of counties he would do so at his own peril. as in the event of the failure to make such sepa- ration. William B. Bankhead would again oppose him for Congress not later than 1918; that the formatiS of such a district would appeal to Congressman Burnett and his friends, as, in addition to separating Tusca- loosa and Walker counties, it would render the seventh district more cer- tainly democratic"
 Thanking you in advance for this correction, I am yours truly.

lBBEV|LLE NEGRO LYNcHED.
WILL LOZIER SLAIN AFTER KILL.
ING YOUTH.
Victim of Mob Violence is Said to
Have Killed Clifford Critterden
Without PrOvOcatiOn.

Anderson, July 14.-Some details
of a lynching which occurred Mon
day afternoon in the McCalla woods,
six miles east Of Lowndesville, Alb
beville county, have been heard here:
Sunday afternoon Lucius Critten-
den and Clifford Crittenden, sons Of
Robert Crittenden, we'll known
farmer Of that Section, were walking
Lowndesville in company with Sam
Pilgrim, a friend. They met viii
Lozier, a negro, and Clifford Crit
tenden asked Lozier to return his
knife, which the negro had borrowed
day. or SO ago. =;
The negro returned the knife, but
a few minutes later he jerked it away
from Clifford, cutting the latter's
hand. Lucius Crittenden, about 19
years of age. demonstrated with the
negro and told him he would see him
later about cutting his brother; that
the negro had a gun in his pocket,
and that he would not fight ham AS
long as the gun was there. IT is said
that Lozier replied that he would
have to see me right now" and that
he drew his gun and fired on Lucius
Crittenden, the bullet striking the
young man on the hip. Lozier then
fired on Sam Pilgrim, but the shot
went wild. 20
When Lozier saw Lucius Crittenden
fall to the ground he escaped into
the bushes and made his way to the
swamps. Crittenden was given im1c
mediate medical attention. but died
from the gunshot wound early Mon
day morning. "r-
During the forenoon on Monday q
large body Of men searched the woods
for Lozier and located him about I
O'clock in the afternoon. Persons
some distance away declare they
heard 80 shots. -. -. -.
A man in the city from that COM
munity today said that the negro was
hanged with a rope and that his body
was literally shot to pieces, and that
the body was then cut down and
thrown into the river.
Lozier was a Georgia negro and
had been in the Lowndesville section
tonly short time. He was about 30
years of age.
The visitor to Anderson today de-
clares everything is quiet in the COM
munity now. No further trouble Ia
expected.

AUSTRIA Makes PROTEST.
OBJECTS no AMERICAN TRADE
IN MUNITIONS.
Austria Hungary Suggests That Unit.
ed Sttaes Take Steps to Stop Busi-
ness Contrary to Neutrality.

London, July 15.-According to q
Reuter- Amsterdam dispatch it is
sttaed from Vienna that the Austro-
Hungarian minister for foreign af-
fairs sent a note to the American am
bassador at Vienna on June 29, draw
Ing attention to the fact that COM
mercial business in war material on a
great scale is proceeding between the
United States and Great Britain and
her allies while Austria Hungary and
Germany are cut off from the Ameri.
can market. 1t is set forth in the
note that this subject has occupied
the government of the dual monarchy
from the very beginning and although
the government is convinced that the
American attitude arises from no 9TH
er intention than to observe the
strictest neutrality and international
agreements, yet "the question arises
whether conditions as they have de-
veloped during the course of the war,
certainly independently Of the wish Of
the American government, are not of
such a kind as in their effect to turn
the intentions of the Washington cab
met in contrary direction.
III this question Is answered in the
affirmative, and it's affirmation can not
be doubted" according to opinion Of
the Austro- Hungarian government,
then the question follows whether it
does not seem possible. or even nee
essary, that appropriate measures
should be taken to make fully re-
spected the wish of the American gov-
ernment to remain a strictly impartial
visa wis Of both belligerent parties" /"
The note continues: "A neutral
government can not be allowed to
trade in contraband unhindered, if it
takes the form Of dimensions where
by the neutrality Of the country will
be endangered. The export Of war
material from the United States, as
a proceeding Of the present war, is
not in consonance with the definition
Of neutrality. The American govern.
ment, therefore. is undoubtedly en-.
titled to prohibit the export Of war
material. f"''.-
T."Regarding = the possible objections
that American industry is willing to
supply Austria Hungary and Ger.
many, which, no. yer, Is impossible
owing t the war situation, it may be
pointed out that the American gov
ernment is in a position to redress
this state of things. 1t would be
quite sufficient to advise the enemies
OF Austria Hungary and Germany
that the supply Of foodstuffs and war
material would be suspended if legiti-
mate trade in these articles between
Americans and neutrals was not per.
mitted."
In conclusion the Austro- Hungarian
government appeals to the United
States calling attention to the un-
interrupted good relations and friend.

dual monarchy, to take the present
note under careful consideration.
