ANNISTON

Anniston, April 15.-(Special.)- )-A $2O,000 library for Anniston may be considered almost as an assured thing. The city council at its last meeting ac- cepted the offer of R. F. Garner for a lot on Tenth and Winner and his further proposition to give the city S1200 year for period of five years to defray the expenses of the library. It is now only necessary to raise an additional $500 a year. making $2000 in all, as required by the Carnegie peo- pie.
 The city is willing to give $500 of this amount if the county commission CTS will contribute the balance, as is done in all other counties where the principal city has a Carnegie library.
 Some extravagant rumors of labor troubles at the plant of the Anniston Ordnance company were heard on the streets this week, but the actual con- ditions are not nearly as bad as re- ported, according to Manager Water- man.
 He stated that he found it necessary to temporarily reduce the force of ma- chinists and laid off about 15 or 20 men. Later in the day a committee from the Machinists' union called upon him and demanded the reinstatement of these men. charging that discrim- ination was used in letting them out. He declined to reinstate the men and says so far as he knows that is all there is to the trouble.
 The following prisoners who were tried and found guilty in the session of the criminal division of the city court re- ceived the sentences as indicated and started to serve their terms Saturday:
 Walter Oliver. embezzlement. 15 months; Mack Boozer, assault to murder, three years; Sec Bush, petit larceny, three months; Bob Garter. grand larceny. 80 months; Roy. Reeves. grand larceny. 30 months: Betty Jones. burglary. grand larceny and receiving stolen goods, 13 months; David Jones, petit larceny. 30 days and costs, amounty to S9 days; Paul Dims. receiving stolen goods, 13 months
 The store of J. A. Burgess on West Tenth street was entered last night. Mr. Burgess was unable to state this morning how much stock the intruders had gotten away with, but said that he did not miss any money.

MORAN, IN TOWN, TO MAKE BID
FOR HEINIE ZIMMERMAN
BY Mark Shields


Auctioning Heinie Zimmerman
continues at a merry clip, with>the'
bidding becoming wilder each day.
But so far no other manager has Of
fered anything in the way Of human
flesh that appeals to Joe Tinker and
Prexy Weeghman.
Pat Moran brings his PhiIlies to
town today to close the final eastern
invasion of the North Side, and Pat
has some athletes he would be will
ing to leave here in exchange for the
gyrating German. Stock, the Phil
third baseman, is one man mem
toned in trade talk. He is a good
ballplayer and would do nicely on
the North Side.
Boston's offer of Fitzpatrick,
Smith, Collins and Barnes looked
bad when the Braves left town. Stall
ings shot Barnes against the Cubs
twice and each time the pitcher was
hammered from the mound. That
didn't make him much of an asset.
Brooklyn is out of the bidding. Nc
Graw has not quit, but must come
through with more than he has yet
offered. Doyle and Kauff would do
well enough.
Tinker, himself, is panning his own
chattel. He opines that if the pen.
nant race was not warm, with three
clubs having "a chance for the flag,
zim would not be so eagerly sought.
He has had experience with Tim and
does not envy the manager who has
to handle him in the future.
On many previous occasions trade
talk has involved Zina, but each time
it has blown over. There. is no
chance for such an occurrence now,
as Tinker has laid down the law fiat
ly that he will never boss Zim again.
And the owners on the North Side
are strong for the present manager
and are(not hesitating between him

4 GIRLS COMPLEXION

Very few girls get through their teens
without eruptions or pimples showing on
their faces.
These may be due to indigestion result
ing from improper diet If SO they will
quickly disappear when the proper food
is adhered to. Ii they are accompanied
by pallor and istlessness you must look
to the condition OF the blood.
Because these erupuons on the faces of
school girls are so common they seldom
receive the attention from parents that
they require. When they indicate thin
blood or anemia there is ready remedy
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills. These tonic
pills, free from harmful drugs, are pretty
sure to help growing girls because they
build up the blood at q time when the
demand on it is greatest. As the blood
is made rich and red, tickle appetites be-
come normal, lassitude gives way to
vigor, the cheeks and lips show the glow
of health and the whole system is toned
up. The nervous system is invigorated
and with proper attention TO diet many
dangers are ayerted.

paid, on receipt OF price, so cents per
box, six boxes s. so, by the DR.. Williams

Decrease in Customs Revenue.

An advance statement Of our import
trade for the II months ended Novem-
Der. 1915, shows that while imports for
the period fell off but $50. 600, 900, COM
pared with the II months ended No
vember 1913. nine months of which was
under the Republican protective tariff
Law. the customs revenues fell off sl07,-
@D,G0n under the operation Of the
Democratic law. Our imports up to
November 1915 amounted to 81 sos 900, :
900: for the Il months ended November
1915, to 81. sos, 900 900, a decrease Of a
trif1e over onetenth Of one per cent.
The customs duties collected during
the 1918 period were $3.50, go, 900; during
the 1915 period sls2 200 $40, or a de-
crease of customs revenues during the
1915 period Of 81 per cent. The aver
age rate of duty for the 1913 period was
Is per cent; for 1876 113 per cent
1913. three months under the Demo-
cratic law and nine months under the
Republican law and 1915, we find that
on imports to the value OF sl.192. 10000
during 1913 we collected customs reve-
nue. in the sum of $310.s00, 900, while
for 1915 We imported goods to the value
Of sl,1s1 ,Ooo, Geo, on which duties were
collected in the sum of only Sl9S. sos 600
The argument of the Democrats that
falling customs revenues are due to
decreased imports is absolutely I'M
possible to sustain. The official figures
rebuff it in every instance The en-
larged free list is the reason for the
lean customs revenues.

Why Not Be Frank?

In his Western speeches Mr.. Wilson
took great pains to emphasize the as
sertion tina: he does not read news
paper accounts of the war. He also
spoke most mysteriously OF the ols-
patches which he does read every day
and which, he said, il their contents
could only be known to the country
would stir the people TO frenzy OF
preparedness.
Put the people are not permitted to
know what these dispatches contain
The people have access only TO the
NEWSPAPERS which Mr.. Wilson disdains.
Why does he not take US INTO MS con-
6dence? Why does he no, let US know
the frightful contents Of even one Of
these dispatches
There is a suspicion in many quar-
tiers that Mr. Wilson is again trying
on ole Of MS old and familiar tricks.
II is remembered that when he wen;
to Congress to demand the reputation
Of all the platform promises relating
to tie canal tolls ne said TO the legis-
lators, III you do not give me this in
ungru,lging measure. l shall not know
how 10 deal with an even more serious
matter" He has never told anyone
what this more serious matter" is:
and it has been said that, when Ques-
toned about it, much later. he &C
knowleGeed that he had rothing spec
ial in mind So now, when he talks
about the distressing contents Of dis
patches which he will not reveal,
many people think he is trying again
to foo. somebod" into letting him have
his own way
If the situation. as revealed by the
dispatches, is so grave, il is Mr.. Will
sons duty to take somebody into his
confidence. He need not necessarily do
so from the stump-but there are COM
mittees in either house of Congress
whose duties call them to consider
such matters; and Mr.. Wilson ignores
them as completely as he ignores the
people. Why cannot the President be
frank with somebody
