out FIVE places which he had visited.
Although he would not admit going

will tell Of more robberies later.
Entrance was effected by Cruz l..
nearly every instance BY opening an
unattached rear window and some one
was in every house at the time.
At the William Marshall home.
where the revolver was taken, Cruz
said a woman was awake and read
ing while he sacked the place
As an escaped convict, Cruz has
about 40 years yet to serve, says
McDuffie. Therefore he may not be

WHEAT PRICE CHANGES
RAPID AND NERVOUS
Speculative Trading on a Large
Scale-Corn Undergoes Sag
After Rally Early.

CHICAGO, August 31.-Renewal of
efforts to bring about postpon en- en-
of the railway strike had only tran
sient bullish effect on wheat today AS
sertions that within forty y-eight hours
Greece would abandon neutrality ap-
peared to act as more than an offset
Speculative transa ctions on both sides
of the market were on large scale
and price changes were Of rapid
nervous character. The opening, which
ranged from * decline to u advance
with September at 1.3S% to 1884, and
December at 1:42 to 145, was followed
by material general upturn and then
la sharp decline.
Corn displayed less tendency TO re-
spond to any bulge in wheat. .Yester-
days bullish crop estimates were ad
mitted today to have been erroneous.
After opening haA to u lower, prices
rallied little, but then underwent a
decided sag. --z~: - .-.,--.
Oats gave way with other. cereals;
Commission houses for the most leaned
to the bear side. }
Irreguiarity characterized provisions.
Most Of the trading was in lard, which
declined Under selling pressure from

NEW YORK, August Sl.-Raw sugar

A little better demand for raw sugar
and an advance of l.c in prices led to
heavy covering movement in the mar
ket for sugar futures early today. Lead
ing trade interests We're fair buyers,
but the demand came principally from
commission house shorts. Realizing
caused setback Of about 10 points, but
prices we're still 20 to 25 points higher

tary sentiment was effective, never theless.
 But after this country had a little taste of foregin war in 1898, prac- tically no obection was raised to ln- creasing the regular army to maxi mum of 100000 And in view of the present international situation, the people would offer no protest to an army of 250,00O or more.
 In 1866, when the army was lim- ited to 25,000, the population of the United States was only about 30,0O0,- 900. The consensus of opinion among military authorities in 1870 was that the United States should maintain a regular army of not less than 50,0OO. If such was the legitimate demand nearly half century ago, the demand now is for an army expansion reach ing 100000 regulars and 500,000 to 500 ,000 federalized guardsmen, to say nothing of reservists.
 Time and conditions serve as great teachers,

THERE,s A PINK FAMINE

From the New York Telegram.
 Readers of the Evening Telegram will notice some slight difference in uni- formity of color in this issue, and ex- planation is due.
 It's all owing to the scarcity of dye stuffs The paper manufacturers are unable to procure sufficient to supply the great quantity of pink paper neces- sary to print the various issues.
 Under the circumstances the next best thing has been done. The outside pages are the familiar pink, and the inside white.
 There is no intention of abandoning the color which has made New York s only pink newspaper such a favorite with both the advertising and the read ing world.
 As soon as conditions render it pos sible for the mills to get the dye in suf- ficient quantities the old style, all pink, issues will be resumed.
 Other newspapers, the reader has no doubt observant. have changed their colors frequently of late. Some are vel low. some mere drab, others gray, while still others have decidedly blue tinge. But let that pass. There's a reason.
 As for the Evening Telegram, we can only ask a little indulgence from it's readers. War really is what the. old general said.

 At least one mcte iafee consumer has

The past eek witnessed a slight let up in the +,tfnage placed at Cincinnati. Tn view of the comfortable position in which southern Ohio furnacemen find them selves, there is no likelihood of reduc- ton from the recently established price of Sl9 at the furnace, and the fact that demand for southern iron is decidedly on the increase would appear to dispel any idea of lower prices from that district.
 The number of foundrymen contracting for their requirements of coke prior to 1917 is daily increasing. One New river producer has already advanced his price 9 cents per ton and from all districts come extremely optimistic reports, inti- mating that the present prices may be advanced shortly. Furnacemen also are becoming more and more interested and it is expected that many contracts will be closed earlier than is the custGm."

The Selected Leader

l Mayor-C Commissioner George B Ward told some salient facts in his interview published in yesterdays Age Herald. He told of the selfishness of some citizens of Birmingham in the | location of an auditorium. He told o1
 objections and stumbling blocks thrown in the way of municipal i'm
 provements in Birmingham. He sug- gested that the newspapers preach CO., loneration and more altruism regard ing the motives of the men who arc
 seriously trying to make of Birming'
 ham a great city. He ends his inter.
 view with the words, 'Let's get to-
 gether."
 George B. Ward is the man to gel
 the people of Birmingham together He is the chairman of the city com
 mission and possessed of the veto power.
 George Ward has the ability ano creative instinct. He has heretofore lacked the determination and staying powers. The public looks to him to suggest and to act. If he will lead, the other commissioners will follow, because the public will support him in his proper efforts to develop Birming- ham. Let him take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and provide for such an auditorium as he, as a busi- ness man, thinks best, and for other constructive work in which the people of Birmingham will uphold him.
 The Age-Herald urges him to turn deaf ear to the selfish pikers who would use the city's government for their peculiar interests. Let him act on a broad, constructive basis, and the people and the other commissioners will uphold him. The newspapers of Birmingham are working unitedly for the upbuilding of the city and it is a safe prediction that they will uphold him in every businesslike, constructive work that he proposes. He is the selected leader of Birmingham and he should lead.

Autn Trnciss fnr Delivery

Birmingham merchants are coming to realize more and more the value of the automobile truck for delivery purposes as compared to the old-fashioned methods of mule service" said R. L. Ledbetter' who is the local agent for one of the prominent automobile truck manufacture CTS.
 Tt used to be that residents of subur- ban communities who traded downtown had to place their orders two or three days ahead of delivery, because with horse or mule team deliveries were made only once or twice a week. Now, With the automobile trucks, the merchants have daily deliveries to all parts Of the city, and some of them-one in particu- lar, I know-make deliveries by automo- bile truck within radius of 100 miles.
 ''The best part of the automobile truck, aside from it's time saving qualities, is that it is far less expensive in upkeep than mule teams.''

Confident of Hobson's Defeat

That old-time enthusiasm, about which the Hobson men have been so accustomed to speak, is lacking in the captains race against Will Bankhead," said A. s. Pres- ton, banker and mayor of Jasper, who was at the Morris yesterday. When John Bankhead interrupted Hobson at Jasper Saturday to correct a statement made by the captain he was given as much applause as was the captain at any point in his address. This was con- sidcred quite remarkable, for Hobson has always, even when defeated. been the recipient of enthusiastic receptions every where.
 T am in receipt of information, which is backed up by both newspapers at Fay cite, to the effect that Hobson was greet ed by not more than 100 people. all told, at that point. Of these, it is stated Bankhead had the majority. We people of Walker county who are supporting our fellow townsman against our new citi- zen from Tuxedo Park, New York, are well pleased with the situation and are highly confident of the result in the May primary"
