CASES AGAINST THE
 BAKERS POSTPONED
Commission Will Probably Act on Petition at Meet
 ing Tuesday

The cases pending against several bak- CTS of the city for alleged violation of the bread ordinance were postponed until next Wednesday when they came up in the city recorders court yesterday. They are the cases which were brought through the investigation of A. J. Hall inspector of weights and measures, following the publication in The Age-Herald of the short weight loaves of bread being sold in violation of the ordinance calling for IA ounces for each loaf.
 Some of the companies which have been placed under bond are the McGough and Randall bakeries and the American Bakeries Candy company. Mr. Hall stated yesterday there were others whom he had found short in their weight, but who had not yet been placed under bond
 It is said the bakers petition for repeal of the ordinance requiring IA ounce loaves will be acted upon at the city commis- sion meeting Tuesday and will be denied by reason of the deadlock between Com missioner Lane and Weatherly, the latter being opposed.
 Immediately thereafter if the bakers carry out their threats, the price of bread will be raised to 6 cents. It is understood the retailers of the city would not consider paying half cent more to the bakers per loaf. as suggested by MT Hall, and thus cutting their profits on bread from 25 to 121a per cent, so that if the bakers raise their wholesale price from to 4la cents the retailers intend to raise their retail price from to cents

Atlanta, February 20.-A denial of the charge that Leo M. Franks conviction was influenced by hostile demonstra- tions in the courtroom is made in the states brief to Franks appeal in habeas corpus proceedings which will be ar rgued in the United States supreme court next week. The brief, which was made public here tonight, says:
 "The supreme court of Georgia is sec ond to no state in according trails free from hostile demonstrations and has gone as far, we venture to assert as any state in the union in setting aside verdicts where the same were influ- enced by hostile demonstrations on the part of spectators"
 trials were granted on account of the public's attitude toward the prisoner
 The brief declares it frequentls has been held in Georgia that where a de- fendant failed to secure a fair trial the verdict for this reason must be set aside mo matter how strongly the ver- dict shows his guilt"
 But this is far from holdng" it adds, that whenever an accused al leges' those things in a motion for a new trial, the court should grant new trial. Under our practice. movant can aliege as reason why he contends a new trial should be granted him. what ever facts he pleases; but the state is permitted by affidavit to make d counter showing, and then the court that passes on his motion becomes as to such disputed facts, a trior; and this was what was done in the Frank case.7

GLIDE DENSON FOR
 VOTE ON BASEBALL
Eutaw Methodist Church Makes Protest Against
 Action of Senator

The Methodist church at Eutaw has taken official action through it's pastor and certain of other church officials l against Senator J. T. Denson, for his vote in the senate recently on the Bon her baseball bill. As is well known Mr. Denson opposed on constitutional grounds as well as others the effort to take this bill from the adverse calendar, to which 1t had been reported by the senate tenn perance committee.
 A rather stingng denunciation has ap- peared in the Eutaw newspaper signed by the pastor and other members of the board of stewards condemnng the action of Mr Denson and calling upon the pub lie to witness that they are not respon- sible for his action. It is reported that further official action was to be taken, and that he might even be expelled from the church for his rashness and failure to counsel with this board before casting his vote. However this drastic act.Cn Will probably not be taken. The Metho- dist church at Eutaw is very powerful politically throughout the town and county.
 The published statement regarding the affair under the head, "A Card to the Public.'' is as follows:
 Tn view of recent action of the gen eral assembly of Alabama concerning the legislation had on Sunday baseball, and the attitude of the state senator from this district, J. T. Denson, favoring such dissertation of the holy Sabbath we the undersigned, pastor and board of stew ards, hereby express our disa Dproval and protest of his action in said legislation, faVorins the moral abuse of the Sabbath as not refecting our sentiment nor that Of our church, of which he is member Our protest is not based on political but moral grounds, and we feel that the church must express it's protest i1 tiss manner before an intelligent and relig- ious public.

led to a crime that shocked a crime ac. customed city. The lack of self-disciplint and home discipline. The lack of teaching a child that what we enjoy we must earn The lack of teaching child to earn by work and saving.
 My mother said she never wanted me to have any thought about money or tc know anything about trouble. It was time enough after I was married" she said. A wish we have all at some moment ex- pressed, and yet uttered by that young woman prisoner how terribly false and superficial it seemed. Even child should learn what responsibility is and should grow through bearing it's weight as all Italian woman straightens her spine by bearing great ba sllets upon her head.
 Did you ever think of trying to get some work so that you might help youi children I asked
 1 had never learned to do any but housework. l had always been at home after I left school until l was married Wherever l saw any advertisements of home work l tried to get it, but it was no use.'
 There again is mistake, an error of society. Another case to point the truth that every girl should have training of livelihood. Had this girl known some thing of the institutions in the city of her adoption, for she was not a New York but Philadelphia product; had she been taught to save and earn money, the pair against whom the cry, Unnatural par ents. Punish them, Lynch them" has been raised would have gone their com monplace way in happy obscurity.
 Or had the growing public sentiment grown to that stature at which it for bade persons unfitted by home and school training and unable by reason of deficit in money or brains or character or character to marry, the crime of aban- donment would not have been committed
 The cry uttered by the fright-dazed and hunger-dulled mother, 1T did what thought was best for my children thought could get them good homes like what I read about" was doubtless true. And society would have prevented her mistake. Let us train girls not all for motherhood but for livelihood They may not need one, and they more than likely in these shifting times to need the other

WARM STATEMENT !
 BY NEWELL BROS.
Goes Into Details Regarding Certain Recent Assertions
 of Jerry Gwin

A. T. Newell of A. T. Newell &t Bros, contractors. has issued an extended state ment in reply to some of the recent as- sertions of Jerry Gwin, former county en- gineer, regarding work on the Columbiana road.
 That Mir Newell means what he says is indicated by the fact that he has put up certified check for s1o,oo0, payable tc the board of revenue, to be forfeited for doing certain road work in case MT. Gwin will make god his assertion that the road in controversy could have been built for 60 per cent of what it cost
 He goes into Gwin's charges in order and denies his statements categorically He says that the former engineer should have found something wrong before he was discharged and claims that Gwin is now striking at the board of revenue through A T. Newell & Bros.
 The writer goes into details in connec- ton with sales of iron pipe to the county and claims Jefferson county got it's trac- tion engine cheaper than any other county.
 He concludes by asking the people of the county to judge as to the real facts in the situation after careful reading of what the contractor has to say.
 It will be recalled that this road con troversy was started by Mir. Gwin after his discharge by the board of revenue and that the board secured the services of Thomas Worthington to make thor ough investigation. MT. Worthington s findings were that there was no dis honesty in handling the contract. MT. Newells statement is brought out as the result of a recent card by Mr. Gwin following the publication of MT. Worth ington's report.
