Raised On Alabama's Pledge

This vast sum of money raised on the basis of Alabama s pledge to exempt the enterprise from taxation during the lean period that would en evitably follow the inauguration of pioneer work of this character. a ssst 't
 This sum was invested in Alabama in good faith without moment of questioning to the pur pose of the State to keep its promise of exemption That great Commonwealth would take such step to encourage investors and then repudate the agree ment when the money had been invested and was be- yond recall never entered the mind of anyone connected with this enterprise. Such thing unthinkable Honest do not violate their tracts in this fashion, and this company knew that the people of Alabama were honest. Moreover, it knows now that they will not tolerate gross breach of trust the facts become known to them Nor do we believe that such course will find single advocate among the public officials of Alabama when the issue is understood Therefore, without fear of contradiction, state the issue to be thus, and nothing more.
 Shall the State of Alabama keep promise that was made in good faith and which was accepted in the same spirit?

An Alabama Institution

This organization, which has selected Alabama the scene of colossal developments, in competition with many other states that anxious to attract it into their borders has been referred to "a for eign corporation'' the implication being that it is corded local institution. The unfairness of this is manifest. In spirit in purpose and in achievement this is Alabama institution, organized under the laws of Alabama and dedicated to the development of Alabama and to the service of its people, It's business is wholly with Alabamans and it has en- deavored from the first to make itself as useful possible to Alabama institutions In it's Lock 12 de velopment more than 125,000 cubic yards of Ala bama sand most of 1t from around Montgomery went into it's dam and Alabamians received nearly $2OO,OOO for this product. It used about 10000 barrels of Alabama cement. for which Alabama firms received more than $200,00O in cash. It paid out in Alabama more than $1 100000 in wages dur
 ing the erection of it's plant. It paid the railroads forcarriage and equipment about $35O0O and paid Alabama merchants and others over $5OOOOO for supplies
 In addition, this company has expended in exten sions of its service since its Lock 12 plant was completed, about $2,0O0OOO, and has, wherever possible, employed local labor and obtained the ma teral and supplies from local merchants; and some time since the company arranged with the engineer Polytechnic Institute to give employment to the young men from those schools wherever possible and has in its employ today number of such men.

The warships appeared off Ancona about midnight, accom- panied by two aeroplanes, which flew over the city.
 The bombardment began at 5 o'clock and continued two hours. The guns were trained not only upon the railroad yards but upon the military hospital the Bank of Italy and two barracks. The cupola of the cathe- dral Apse was damaged
 Slight damage to the railroad was caused by shell fire between Porto Recanati and Porto Civilanova
 The Austrian warships retired from Ancona when an Italian fleet ap- peared -..
 Because of reports that the Austrian squadron had been signalled from an Ancona brewery, all Germans em- ployed there were arrested as spies.

BECKER MUST DIE,
 DECLARES PERKINS
District Attorney of New York says no Possible Plea on Disclosures
 Will Save Condemned Man.


 New York, May 27.--No disclosures of police corruption no revelations of the identity of the man or men higher up in the division of morey paid for police protection--no possible plea Charles Becker can make will save him from the electric chair if District Attorney Perkins can prevent it, &C., cording to announcement made by MT. Perkins today.
 In making his announcement MT. Perkins took official cognizance of a current rumor that Becker, facing death for causing the murder of Her man Rosenthal. was willing to confess all he knows if his life should be spared
 This thing might as well be settled once and for all" MT. Perkins said. 'No confession duplicating officials, hcwever high for giving or taking bribe money would warrant an ap- l,eal for clemency to the governor for one convicted of murder in the first degree. @ 5
 Important as it may be that public officials should be punished rutf1lessly tor misconduct in office, 1t is more important that instigators of murder should be punished for their acts"

Interesting Theory Advanced by pr
 B. D. Radcliff, Veterinarian.

In the opinion of pr. B. p. Radclif, two horses owned by Gaffney Bros, which died a few days ago were pois- oned, traces of arsenate of lead being found in their stomachs.
 Dr. Radcliff said today that it was probable that the horses had eaten hay grown under trees which had been sprinkled with an insect exterm- inator which contained arsenate of lead and that this caused their death. The horses were valuable animals.

SPIRIT OF AMERICAS
 TURNED TOWARD PEACE. Genius of Europe Addressed Toward War, Says Jo-
 seph E. Davies.

Washington, May 27.-Discussio in the open forum occupied the attention of the delegates for the most part to- l day. to the Pan-American financial conference. Group conferences" also were continued, at which delegates plained further to representatives of the United States the desires and needs of their countries
 The fourth general session of the conference was held in the forenoon when number of addresses were made. Among the speakers were Jo- seph E. Davies, chairman of the fed eral trade commission; ;t J ohm Barrett, director general of the Pan-Am erican Union, and several delegates. Later the delegates were the luncheon guests of Secretary McAdoo at the Pan- American building.
 The genius of Europe is addressed to war; the spirit of the Americas is turned toward peace. This council of the Americas is held to marshall the great forces of peace into conditions that make for mutual helpfulness."
 This was the keynote of the speech by MT. Davies.
 Tt is suggestive of great promise, ' said MT. Davies, that the expressions from the nations here represented all contain the recognition of the fact that the perrnanency of our future re- lationships and the prof1tableness of them to us all must depend upon the degree. not alone of mutual profit, but of mutual confidence which we have, in the. integrity of the motive of the others. Trade, like confidence be- tween men, must be founded upon good faith between the parties.
 Great industrial developments are imminent in the different nations of this hemisphere. But 1t is fortunate. that in the republics represented in this conference, there is identity of attitude as to the relation Of govern ment to industry and to it's citizens. Every republic on this continent holds private monopoly to be fndefensible and intolerable and antagonistic to: the spirit of republican conceptions of government.
 The fact that the republics of this hemisphere found their policies with reference to industrial monopoly and industrial freedom of opportunity upon the same political philosophy American international code of what shall constitute fairness in trade.
 "No less in the financial develop ments arising from International re- lations is there promise of permanent relations through the establishment of dollar exchange"

ANOTHER ZEPPELIN RAID
 MADE ON SOUTH END Secretary of British Admiral ty States Two Women
 Were Killed in Attack

South End, England, May 27, 10:35 a. m.--Another Zeppelin airship raid was made upon this town last night. One person was killed by the bombs She was Mrs. May Fabin, visitor here. Several other persons were in- jured.
 The entire town was illuminated by the bursting shells dropped by the aircraft. The material damaga caused appears to have been less than on the occasion of the last raid.
 Some reports say that two and others that. three zeppelins took part in the raid. The uncertainty is due 10 the fact that at the time of the attack the sky was cloudy.
 The noise Of the propellers of the airshfps was first heard sh ortly before II o'clock. Then came at once the shock of the explosions as the bombs rained down from ahove. Some of the missiles were incendiaery, and threw out bright flares of light
 Crowds assembled in the streets of South End to view the raiders. Mrs. Fahin, the only person killed, was leaving street car at the moment. 1t is recalled that on previous raids the only victim was woman.
 British aeroplanes went up In pur- suit of the raiders. but they were not successful in overtaking them. some time later two Zeppeiins were seen over Burnham -On-Crouch. seven miles of South End. but no moro bombs were dropped.
 South End, which is municipal borough and popular seaside resort at the mouth of the Thames, forty miles east of London, has been the target of Zeppelin raiders several times in the past six months. On no previous occasion, however, have the results been serious
 London, May 27. 11:50 a. m.-The secretary of the admiralty has issued ! statement on the South End raid which. contrary to the despatches rom South End, says two women were siled in the air raid on that place last | night. 1t reads as follows:
 Late last night a Zeppelin visited he east coast, and bombs were dropped on South End. The casual ies reported to date are two women silled and one child badly injured. 1ery little material damage was done. leroplanes and seaplanes proceeded in ursuit of the enemy, but the zep- elins succeeded in escaping in an asterly direction.''
