LIFE SENTENCE IS
 GIVEN FOR ROBBERY
Paskin SlatOn Convicted of Highway Robbery in the
 Criminal Court

Paslxin Slaton, negro. charged with highway robbery, was given a life sentence by a jury in the first divi- sion of the criminal court yesterday. The case was tried before Judge w. F. Fort. The negro was jointly in dicted with Adonia Crusean, negro, for the holdup of two farmers, ]. M. Smith and J. Letherwood, on the county highway near Trussville. They were driving to town for supplies when the two negroes emerged from adjacent woods and covering them with pistols relieved them of their money. A sever specifically charged with rob bbing MT. Letherwood of s15. was tried first Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate. who prosecuted in the case, made a strong appeal to the jury for the death pen alty.
 Verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and punishment at 10 years in the penitentiary was the finding of the jury in the case of Will Wooten, negro, charged with murder in the first degree. The defendant pleaded self fense and the unwrit- ten law.
 Charley Lee Smith. negro, was &C., quilted on charge of murder by the jury. The case was tried before Judge H. F. Heflin. The defendant, q youth of about 15, was indicted for the mur der of a 10-year-old negro boy, whom he is alleged to have killed by blow with a small stick. The testimony tended to show that the younger boy was the aggressor and that the de- fendant had no intention of doing him serious bodily harm when he used the stick.
 This morning Judge Heflin will take up the case of Herbert Hales, George Evans and Fred Hales charged with robbery

Dr. Oates is generally regarded as a most useful official. but there are certain members of the legislature who desire the abolishment of his department. A bill abolishing his office has passed the house, as matter of fact.
 It is generally thought, however, that the senate will hesitate before following the lead of the house.
 w. s. Keller. state highway engineer, is in Birmingham after having looked after the roads in various counties in north Alabama.
 I am glad to report he said, ''that while times have been hard in the rural districts. the people are nevertheless deeply interested in building up roads The people of Alabama have had taste of good roads and nothing will be per- mitted to stand in the way of continued improvement and development
 Regarding the temperament of the legis- lature in respect to the state highway department MT. Keller declined to talk. An effort to abolish his department or reduce appropriations in favor of his de- partment, have up to the present time, failed.
 Judge L. L. Hertzberg of Gadsden, pro- bate judge of Etowah county; Capt. w P. Lay of Gadsden. pioneer in Alabama water power development, and Walter Nesmith, a well known lawyer of Yer non, were other prominent Alabamians ir Birmingham yesterday.

COAL RATE HEARING HERE IS CONCLUDED Thurtell Leaves for Mem phis to Continue Taking
 of Testimony

Evidence was concluded yesterday afternoon in hearing of the suspend ed freight rates on coal shipped from Birmingham to New Orleans held in the city by Henry Thurtell, special examiner for the interstate commerce commission. Among the witnesses ex- amined yesterday were K. A Conville, traffic and sales manager of the Pratt Consolidated Coal and Coke company, and Abernant Coal and Coke company, and Charles r. DeBardeleben, vice pres ident and general manager of the Ala tama Fuel and Iron company Their testimony was largely on the present production of the coal mines of th1s district and that contracts had been made on the present existing freight rates, the profits of the operators be- ing based on that rate.
 MT. DeBardeleben stated increase ir freight rates on coal shipments iron, this district would make it impossible for the operators to compete with the coal shipments from Pittsburg to New Orleans as coal from that point was carried by water direct. It was sug gested that the Pittsburg operate might advance their prices to meet the increased freight rates, but 1t was stated that in that event the consumers in New Orleans would have to bear the burden.
 Mir. Thurtell left last night for Mem phis, where he will continue the hear ing of this matter. Among the first witnesses in Memphis will be Henry DeBardeleben, vice president of the Alabama Fuel and Iron company, who will go direct to that point from Ne W York, where he has been for several days. All the testimony introduced was taken down by stenographer and will be submitted to the interstate com merce commission at the conclusion of the hearings.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA DAILY IMPROVING
 E pRATT
Chief of Federal Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Addresses
 Detroit Meeting

Detroit, Mich. March s-Trade condi- tions in most of the countries of South and Central America are rapidly rec, ier- ing from the collapse which followed the outbreak of the European war, according to E. E. Pratt. chief of the federal bu- feau of foreign and domestic commerce, who addressed the Detroit board of com merce tonight on the outlook for the foreign trade of the United States. Now is the time, MT. Pratt said, for manu- lecturers to send salesman or a busi- ness diplomat into South America to study the needs of the country, and lay the foundations for future business.
 Explaining the difference between actual and fictitious trade balances. MT. Pratt said the steady pouring of food and sup plies from the United States into Europe now was building up an actual balance in favor of America at the rate of mil- lions month.
 'The countries to the south of us at the outbreak of the war; he continued, were in very much the position of a manufacturer. who had manufactured his annual output and then finds that his market has collapsed and that his orders are cancelled
 But conditions are changing. The countries which were most closely re- lated to ourselves, Colombia, Venebuela, and Ecuador and the countries of Gem tral America are recovering and are fair4 ly prosperous. Argentina and Uruguay are fast approaching normal. Bolivia and Peru have just started on the upgrade. Brazil and Chile alone of the countries Of Latin-America (except Mexico) have beer unable to begin their recovery.
 "A more minute examination of thu conditions in Argentina is thoroughly worth while. Argentina had been suffer- ing during the latter half of 1913 and the beginning of 1914 from a severe financial depression, caused essentially by imitation and speculation followed by crop failure and sharp retrenchment."

hnUkNf iliE M DvHIIuL uuIllsU Ul FLYING SQUADRON HERE LAST NIGHT An Enthusiastic Prohibition Meeting Held at the
 Orpheum
DR. CHAS. M. SHELDON
 AND POLLING SPEAK
Former Declares Kansas Has Pros- pered Under Prohibition and Stories to Contrary Are nspired-Cheers
 Greet Mention of Hobs0n

In one of the most enthusiastic pro- hibition meetings ever seen in Bir- mingham, the advance guard of the "Flying Squadron of America spoke at the Orpheum theatre last night to be- tween 1900 and 15O0 people Many women were in the audience. The two speakers of the evening made pleas Tor national prohibition. for, they said. only by the prohibition of the manu- facture of liquor could it's sale be ab- solutely stopped and the stumbling block of the onward march of civil ization be removed" The speakers were pr. Charles M. Sheldon of Kansas and Daniel A. Polling of the Christian Ep- eeavor society of America
 Borden Burr presided over the meet ing. Much of the evening was devoted to music, Musical Director D. Y. Pol ing calling upon the audience to join in the singing of well known hymns. He drilled them until two hymns had been mastered and then had the entire body join him in the song. The meet ing opened and closed with singing. ". M Patton, pianist, received Vigor- ous applause for a beautiful piano solo, and was compelled to respond with an encore number.
 MT. Burr in d short address just be- fore he introduced the speakers of the evening referred to the work of the recently adjourned legislature of Ala bama and touched upon the recent in junction against the workings of the ba dist ri bI- ton of newspapers in which liquor ad- Nertisements appeared. He said that if the supreme court should uphold Judge Miller in his decision in the mat ter the legislature in July would change the law in such manner that 1t would conform with the constitu- tion.
 Agreed With Kansas"
 Dr. Charles NJ Sheldon of Kansas was the first speaker of the evening and told his hearers that Kansas could show the whitest record of any state in the union as to crime. He said that stories to the effect that prohibition in Kansas had failed were manufac- tured and when printed were paid for by enc liquor powers
 Among many other things pr. Shel . 1on said: We shall never get rid of strong drink until the government for bids its manufacture. When one thinks of the misery, the crime and the shame caused by liquor, are we not conscience stricken, especially when it is known that there are enough people now members of churches to stamp out this evil?
 .It has been proven that Kansas can prosper without brewery or a sa- loon. Do you realize what it means to young man or girl to come .lp in life without ever seeing a saloon and its debauching effects? Thousands of girls and boys in Kansas do not know
