@ ESPITE the uncalled for ef-
 forts of athletic authorities Of - the University of Alabama to keep secret negotiations for success sor to D. " Graves, as athletic in- structor at the state university, the report has leaked out from Tusca- loosa that the new Alabama coach practically has been decided upon. It may be stated as coming from semi official authority that Thomas Kelley of Duquoin, Ill.,, will coach Alabama athletic teams during 1915.
 There is but little doubt that kel- ley is the name which Alabama au- thorities have guarded with such dire secrecy. It is a fact that he has been rendered contract and that his acceptance is pending. This accept- ance will be forewarded the athletic authorities of the University of Ala bama during the next few days. kel- ley will come to Alabama highly rec commended by Charles w.

COT PRICE OF HIS
Drink FROM FRIENDS
Herdmen, Proves His Case
and Escapes Double
Begging Charges
ARRESTED AFTER
BECOMING 'MOUTHY"

Charles NJ. Herdman acted as his own
attorney in City Court today when ar
raigned on charge Of begging, and
pleaded his case so well that Judge
Churchman dismissed him.
Officer Adele said he saw Herdm8n ap-
proach two persons at Seventh and
Market streets and when he ordered him
TO move he got "mouthy' and be ar
rested him. The officer said he asked
Harry Baylis and Robert Baldwin. who
had been approached by Herdman, what
Herdman had said te them and they re-
piled that he had asked them for the
price of a drink.
In his own defense Herdman said he
had known Baylis for twenty y-seven
years and Baldwin lived next door to
him, and that he merely asked each for
the loan of ten cents. He made the plea
that as he was well acquainted with
both men he had the privilege of asking
them for a loan without being accused
of begging. Both men corroborated
what Herdman had said. Baldwin said
he had given Herdman the ten cents as
loan.
Judge Churchman apparently took
Herdman's view of the case. remarking
that the evidence was not strong enough.
a number Of other cases were dismiss
ed and quite a number continued
Edward Ryan was dismissed on a
charge of disorderly conduct in Joseph

derly in the place.

NEARLY BLINDED when
TOMATO Can EXPLODES

Mrs. Newton L. Grubb. of Grubb's
Road, had a narrow escape from los
ing the sight of both eyes by the
explosion Of a can of tomatoes at her
home last Tuesday She had filled a
tin can with tomatoes and placed it in
the oven and after the tomatoes had
come to boiling point, placed on the
lid and sealed it. She then placed the
can on the kitchen table.
At this instant the can exploded.
The lid and a cloth we're shot up to
the ceiling while the contents of the
can were thrown into Mrs. Grubb's
face. Her face was badly scalded.
The tomatoes. however, struck her
below the eyes.
Pending the arrival of a physician,
Mrs. Grubb applied linseed oil to her
burns. Mrs. Grubb believes that the
explosion was due to letting the toma-
toes boil too rapidly.

sixteen CENT Gas"
OIL MEN Predict
Scarcity of Crude Product,
Increased Demand at
Home and Abroad
EXPORT TRADE GROWS
AS SUPPLY FALLS OFF

Announcement by the Standard Oil
Company of New York of an increase
Of cent gallon in the price of gasoline
for export, from II to Is cents. is de-
clared by leading oil refners to fore
shadow higher prices generally to users
of gasoline in this country. How severe
this increase will be could not definitely
be foretold, but that automobilsts
would soon face 2-cent rise was the
opinion of a Philadelphia official of the
Atlantic Refining Company representa-
tive of the Standard Oil family.
Already within the last four months
gasoline has climbed from to Il cents
a gallon for the better grades. and the
prospect of l6-cent gasoline is said to be
an imminent probability The cause for
an increase in the price of this commod-
ity Is given in the constantly decreasing
production of crude. oil throughout the
country. together with heavy export dc.
mand and a tremendous call from the
ever-growing number of automobiles.
Export trade is declared to have
maintained its high call on the oil
trade, with England, France. italy and
South America heavy factors in the
buying market. One refiner declared
he had received an inquiry from
abroad for 3O,O0OO0O gallons Of gaso-
line, an order which he said he was
unable to fill on account of the pres
ent demand running to more than ca
pacity. In his Office at the time was
a representative from another foreign
government with an inquiry for a sun
ply approximately 100000 gallons.
Yet foreign trade, all refners admitted
was far below that Of this country.
AS a commentary on the sources of
supply of crude oil in the United
States, prices of Pennsylvania crude
oil in the last month have risen from
S1.35 a barrel to S160. with Oklahoma
oils in the meantime jumping from 40
cents to rs cents a barrel With this
increase in the price of the crude pro-
duct the selling price Of the refined
commodity has kept pace, and il will
continue TO do so, oil men declare,
so long as the present over-demand
continues.

Grand Admiral, However,
Objects TO Formal DiSavowal
OF Attack on Arabic
SUBMARINE REPORT
EXPECTED ANY Time
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN

united Press stan Correspondent.
BERLIN. Via The Hague, Aug. 3O.-
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz. creator
Of the German submarine policy that
gave rise to difficulties with America,
believes with Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg and Foreign Secretary Won
Jagaw that all differences with Amer
lea should be adjusted at once.
Won Tirpitz. II Is understood. does
now look with favor on a formal dis
avowal OF the attack on the Arabic
He desires that most friendly rela-
tions between the United States and
Germany be established in the nego-
tiations already in progress, but is
not yet convinced this end can only
be attained by reputation of the act
OF one of his submarine command
ers.
The source Of the following infor-
nation cannot be disclosed. but IL is
an absolute fact that Germanys view
point is as follows
First Germany hopes that the
American government will consider
the informal representations already
made to be sufficient. until the official
report Of the submarine commander
is received.
Second. The question Of whether
the action of the submarine COM
mander shall be disavowed must rest
largely upon this report
The submarine report may be ex-
pected at any moment. Probably II
will be received this week. Il Is pos
sible IL may not be forwarded to Ber-
lin for a fortnight.

were instantly killed and thousands
of dollars damage was done by an
explosion of two mills at the upper
Hagley yards of the dupont Powder
Company yesterday morning. The
first mill, used in making fuse pow
der. exploded at S.32 o'clock and 4
press mill for prismatic powder,
which stood about 100 yards distant,
was set off by a spark within few
seconds.
Following the accident, Vincent
Gallagher, a young man of Hazelton,
who came here with Gillespie two
weelA ago to seek work at the mills
and who boarded with him at No.
500 Washington street, identified the
body found as that of Gillespie.
Identification was made possible by a
gold tooth in the right jaw. The body
was horribly mangled, but the jaws
were intact and the gold tooth was
there.
Gillespie had worked at railroading
in Pennsylvania and was a son of
James Gillespeie, miner. His mother
is dead. The body was removed to
the undertaking parlors of James T..
Chapdleg and it was shipped to Halle

morning.

Will amount TO $4,000

Cropping his way through smoke-iill-
ed Railways, j. A. Campbell of Sixth

of Arthur Laroche. the 4-year-old son
of Arthur c. Laroche. pSOprietor Of
the Jefferson Bakery Company at the
southwest corner Seventh and Jeffer-
son streets, yesterday afternoon, when
fire caused considerable damage TO
the bakery. The child was uncon-
scious when found by Campbell, but
it was revived at No. 603 West Sew
enth street, where it was carried.
The fire, which started from un-
known causes, was discovered by
Isaac Sasnor of No. $40 Jefferson
street, who notified Mr.. Laroche, who
sent in fire alarm from Box No. 116
The district fire companies responded,
but their work was hampered 10y the
crowd that had gathered, and the
dense volumes of smoke.
Occupants of the house fed when
the fire was discovered and on
reaching the street Mrs. Laroche
shouted that her son, Arthur, was in
the burning building. Campbell
dashed into the house and, cropping
MS way oIak@fANu A0OAuo uAAlA Mt
reached a stairway leading to the
third floor, where he found the child.
Several other men also had entered
the house in search of the boy. The
blaze started in the basement and II
was some time before it was ex-
tinguished. The loss was placed at
$4,000.
Shortly before the alarm for this
fire was sounded, the Washington
company responded to a still alarm
at No. 123 King street, where a Chin
ney was on fire. When the firemen
were returning. someone sounded an
alarm from Box No. 81. Third and
King streets. This brought the dis
trict engines, but their services were
not needed, the fire having been ex-
tinguished.
