TRUSS MAINTAINS
He WILL KEEP Up
FIGHT ON BARBER
Entirely Out of Sympathy
With His Policy of
Clemency Toward
Prisoners

II have thrown the gauntlet down to
Mr.. Barber
These were the sentiments of Com
missioner James Truss when asked re-
garding the controversy between himself
and Mr.. Barber at the close of the week.
ly commission meeting Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Truss and Mr.. Barber INDUCED in
some personalities when Mr.. Truss Of
fered a resolution demanding that Mr..
Barber make full report to every eom-
missioner on the subject of granting
clemency to prisoners who had been con-
victed. Mr.. Truss based his resolution on
the fact that Scott Thomas, negro, who
had been convicted for serious crime
had been shown clemency by Mr..
Barber after serving a little more than
80 days of his sentence The sentence
of the negro was 500 and 1870 days. He
was convicted for violating section 1O41
of the city code.
Mr.. Truss plainly showed that he was
determined to have his resolution acted
upon at the next meeting of the COM
mission.
IT say that 80 per cent of the citizens
of Birmingham would have used a shot
gun on this negro Scott instead of Glenn
ency," he said. II did not bring up this
case through animosity. l felt it my duty
to the citizens of Birmingham, who had
elected me, to tell them of this case and
inform them of the fact that I voted for
something l knew nothing about. 1t
shall not occur again. In the future l
intend to know the exact circumstances
surrounding each case Of clemency rec
commended by Mr. Barber.
II want it known by every one that
am against Mr.. BARRIERS granting Glenn
ency to prisoners who have been con-
victed of such crimes as Scott Thomas
was The trouble with the street depart
ment today is that We have less than
one-third of the prisoners we should
have on account of this clemency propo-
sition.
MY resolution will be presented to the
commission for approval or disapproval
at next Tuesdays meeting I shall vote
for its adoption. I am right and
know I am right and by that token l
intend to bring every effort to bear to
have my resolution passed.
Had it not been for the dignity of the
position I now occupy I might have
said more at the close of the commits
sion meeting yesterday than I did,
Mr.. Barber stated that he stood on his
record regarding clemency and that he
released the negro Thomas on the rec
ommendation of the city physician. II
received three notices from the city
physician recommending the release of
this man." he said. These reports stat
ed that he was about to go blind as the
result of malignant disease The crime
Of the negro was not as serious as re-
ported. I have nothing more to say in
regard to the matter at present"
The remainder of the commission is
reticent in talking about the Barber
Truss incident.

NOTHING TO STORY OF
 STRIKE IN CHISANA

That pay was not found on Notch creek and Foley creek as reported is made clear by the following state ment received recently by mail
 from one of the supposed discoyersrs:
 "A brief account of the doing5 of the camp might interest you now, although we are passing through a period of Inactivity, due principally through the lack of machinery 10 properly prospect the different creeks, which are both deep, and wet. Some of the best looking creeks in the camp have feeders that carry good pay. Wilson creek, for instance, the second largest in the camp, has not been bedrocked on account of water, and it has three creeks flowing into it that are good producers, Big Eldorado, Gold Run and Glacier creeks.
 After this camp was struck in 1913 people rushed in and staked ground everywhere, most of them did little surface digging, just enough to hold the ground, while a few did under take to prospect, but in nearly every case where systematic prospecting was carried on they were eventually forced to quit on account of water. The discoverers of the campA by chance, struck the only shallow diggings, and as the best ground so far discovered. is above timber line, and frozen, you can readily see that the prospector without means has much to contend with, as wood cost from $35 to $45 per cord landed.
 q expect to spend part of the wint- CT over on Notch creek, and Foley creek, where 1 have several interests, and where that supposed rich strike was made last spring. worked there during last March and April, along with four other men. We found pros poets at a depth of about so or S5 feet but nothing to justify such a re- port We still have faith in the creek and are willing to spend the winter there, to try and reach bed rock. We may probably reach bed rock there some time in December provided We are equipped to handle the water, which has been the only drawback"

FAIRBANKS.-Billy James, the discovcrer of the latest find in this vicinity, visited Fairbanks creek from the scene of the new strike on Koko- mo creek yesterday. He brought the first authentic news regarding the new fnd
 He and his partners recently finish ed a hole in which they found pay that showed values better than @ cents to the foot. The last hole was put down about 50 feet from the first one. The ground is II feet deep. Six feet of this eleven is muck, five is gravel
 So far Billy James and his partner have put down five holes to bedrock. In each and every one of them excel lent prospects have been found.
 The pay in the last three holes has run from 30 to 60 cents to the foot. The strike was made about two miles above the forks, and it is believed that the creek will show values enough to warrant the miners pros rocting it thoroughly this winter.
 Billy James came in for few sup plies and went right back to Kokomo creek; He says that the entire creek has been sta';ed, and thaJ everyone is eagerly watching the discovcrcra Of the creek to see whether or not the ground turns out as we'll as it pyos pccted-EX.
