Hostile TO Americans
There seemed no question that
considerable portion of the Mexican
soldiers and civilians in the north of
the republic were bitterly hostile to
the action of the United States. The
higher civil and military authorities
of the CarranZa government showed
every desire to prevent friction but it
remains doubtful whether they can
control the masses of the population
in the northern district, who are be-
coming very restless due to the
sedulous propaganda against Amer
leans which is being carried on among
them from unknown sources.
Cananea and Ojinaga are the storm
centers. 1t was reported to-day from
Douglas that 500 picked men had been
rushed TO the former town by Cen
eral Gales owing to alarming ac-
counts of the situation there which
reached him. Oiinaga has been the
target of the most sensational rumors
for two days. Persistent reports con-
tinue that the garrison there has re-
volted and murdered Colonel Rojas,
the commander and Carranza officials
at Juarez admit that they have failed
to establish any satisfactory communi-
cation with that point.
AS far as FL Paso and JuareZ are
concerned, absolute quiet prevails but
the feeling on both sides of the border
is tense. Strict precautions are being
taken by the authorities in the two
cities to avert any excuse for an out
break.

M GALLEY SAYS HE HAS GAINED 15LBS.
 SINCE TAKING II
"Tanlac Has Made a Real Farmer of Me Once More,"
 He Says-Lived on Milk and Eggs

q sI suffered with stomach trouble for 20 years, but tell you. young man, this Tanlac medicine has about ended my trou- bles and whats more than that I've gained 15 pounds since I began taking it. said J. H. McCauley, we'll known and highly respected farmer of Dade county, Geor- gia, in talking to the Tanlac representa- tive at the Live and Let Live Drug com pany, Chattanooga, few days ago.
 Just think of a farmer having to live on raw eggs and the like. Farming is hard work, and man ought to have plenty of good sub bstantial food to keep going. But raw eggs was just about all I could eat, for my stomach was in such a bad shape it couldn't stand much ot anything If I did eat much would have to pay for it afterwards. The pit Of my stomach was as sore as boil and at times I would almost choke with gas on my stomach. I got so weak l could hard ly stand on my feet-much less work. I was constipated most of the time and had dreadful dizzy spells. I've always said farm life was the happiest life of all. but I tell you a man in the shape 1 was in couldn't get much enjoyment out of it.
 1T tried one kind of medicine after an- other but none of it did me any good until got hold of Tanlac. I began talk
  three doses. My appetite picked up and I began to eat things I hadn't touched in months and everything tasted good and agreed with me.
 When I began taking Tanlac l weighed 137 pounds, but I've been gaining steadily ever since and now I weigh 152 pounds, which is gain of 15 pounds. I am not bothered with pains in my stomach any longer and I feel good in every way just like I had been made all over again. I'm not constipated like was, am no longer nervous and feel stronger than I have in years. I am now able to work in the field from sunrise to sunset. I go to bed early and sleep good all night, and wake up next morning feeling life a 16-year-old. I've taken four bottles of the medicine.
 "Tanlac has made a real farmer of me again. and you don't know how happy I am. just feel like telling everyone l see what wonderful thing it is."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive 1y by Patton-Pope Drug O., and Eugene Jacobs Drug store; in Ensley by D. w.. Morris Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug Co.,; in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co. and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug Co.-Adv.

DECLARES FUNSTON IS NOT DUE CREDIT FOR THE CAPTURE OF
 FILIPINO CHIEFTAIN
tcontinued from Page one,

ttOntAmueu IrOm FaGc OueB was grabbed-not by Funston, but by Hilario."
 That, according to MT. Howard, is the whole story. According to his narrative Aguinaldos capture was either the result of preconceived plan or treachery, and General Funston, who has derived such charming notoriety in connection with that exploit, is due little credit for in genuity, military dash, or determination in pursuit.
 FATE OF HILARIO
 Following the downfall of Aguinaldo, peace was restored. The United States army became a police functionary. Hi lario Placido was made detective or scout or runner in the detection and prevention of crime and the capture of native criminals.
 ''The lieutenant to whom Hilario brought the news which resulted in the capture of Aguinaldo. was put in charge of a certain territory Under him, Hi tenant instructed Hilario to "get' cer- tain criminal-dead or alive. Hilario de- parted
 Before the native officer returned, the lieutenant was ordered to America. Hi- lario eventually showed up bearing the head of the man in the search for whom he had been engaged With the lieuten- ant from whom me had received instruc- tions gone. Hilario was arrested ron mur- der, tried, and condemned to serve life sentence in the penitentiary. Efforts to enlist the aid of Americans have failed. He IS still in duress and perhaps will ever he"

BIG MOUNTAIN LION KILLED BYTHEO KARL, F'AMOUSTENOE,

That Theo Karle, who appears as
 soloist with the New York Philhar- monic orchestra at it's concert here on
 May Il with the Treble Clef and Music Study clubs, in addition to possessing a tenor voice of remarkable quality, lis a crack shot and hunter Of no mean ability is fact not generally known Karle is loath to talk of his adventures on the hunting trail, but
 a friend, who was with him on a
 trip. has given the story in detail as follows:
 "Karle thinks there is nothing bet ter after a trying season in opera or on concert tour than haunting trip. He had been with the Standard Grand Opera company, an aggregation of singers well known on the Pacific coast. and when the season closed he gave several concerts. This work was wearing and he decided he wanted to Iget away from civilization for time and rough it. In the foothills of Mount Ranier Washington, he has cabin on land he leases from the United States Hand agent. It is about a days journey from the nearest railroad station and lis an ideal spot to spend a vacation. "He gathered together a group of friends and, after laying in supply of provisions, we took the long trip to the hills. The cabin was reached about sundown and all took a hand in mak- Ii ing 1t comfortable, with the exception of Karle, who was detailed to catch a
 mess of trout for our supper and to cook them after he caught them. Our schedule called for a start after a
 mountain lion the next morning. We had small pack of dogs with us to aid in the chase, and by the way, the
 mountain lion is the only animal that
 can be hunted with dogs under the game laws of the state of Washington, | We arose before daybreak. and after

By JUDGE THoM AS W COLEMAN

civil and professional life. Living in ad- joining counties and both of us practicing law in the same counties, we were to- gether at every court, and frequently at intervals between courts The same high sense of duty and department which characterized his life as soldier domi- mated his actions as a lawyer and citi- zen. He was the same high toned gentle man always.
 We went through the trying days of re- construction. The county needed men then and he answered every test of patriot ism. There are not many living, but those who survive know it.
 As a judge his impartiality, integrity and ability were never questioned He was an ornament to the judiciary during his long service. His influence and ex- ample over and before his fellow man was for the uplift and betterment of his fel- low citizen.
 He was always a Christian, ever ready to confess Christ before the world When out holding court on the circuit, if church services were accessible, he would be found attending those services. If none were at his own church, he would worship with any other denomination, where the God of the Bible was wor- shipped, and the Christian plan of saliva tion accepted. The Sabbath day was not holiday with him, but holy day.
 At one time his circuit included the following counties: Sumter, Greene, Pick ems Tuscaloosa, Lamar, Fayette, Walker, Jefferson and Shelby, and for a few terms Winston county. He left his impress on all these counties, and always on the side of law and order, honesty and fair dealing, and for mercy, where it could be shown without the sacrifice of justice.
 Threescore and 10 years is but a short time when over, but much good can be done in that time, and his talents were not buried. Tested as a soldier, as a private citizen, a professional man, a judge, and a follower of Christ, he will not be found wanting He has left in all of these avocations a goodly heri- tage to his family. I knew him well and l feel sure I can say there were no black marks on his life and character There are but few of the old Confed- crates and heroes of reconstruction left Christ will have his witnesses in the world until the gospel has been preached to all people and nations. Man should do his part well while here carrying out his great and divine purpose. Then comes the reward of exceeding great and pre- cious promises and old friends who live right in this life will meet again. EutaW. Ala

lang, Long Island, Pennsylvania and the other middle states and the south and west. He is understood to have been of the opinion that a generations time would pass before there would be perfect development of great commerce between these sections. When he said the word which secured the control of the majority of the Long Island stock for the Penn sylvania and when he gave the second command whose obedience is now re- flected in the Hudson river tubes, the great Pennsylvania station of Manhattan and the tubes under Manhattan and the East river to Long Island. he knew that this undertaking would cost a great deal of money.
 It was in line however with his con- stant advocacy of preparedness. He was always while president of the Pennsyl vania an earnest advocate of prepared ness for the future. He it was who first called attention to the danger of con gestion, of the inability of his railroad company to handle freight offered for transportation by manufacturers and farmers of the middle west and the south unless the road was everywhere four tracked and in some cases six tracked, unless it terminals were greatly improved and unless other adequate prep arations for the future were put under way, no matter what the cost His pol icy, which involved the uniting of New England by way of Long Island, and the Pennsylvania railroad with the Ohio val ley, the mid-Mississippi valley and nc small part of the south, illustrated his view of preparation for the future. I cost a great deal of money and the mi ority stockholders of the Long Is.ant Railroad company are now claiming 1T court that the Long Island Railroad com rany was ''nfilked'' to the extent of s2S, coo, GOO solely for the benefit of the Penn sylvania. That issue is to be determined by this litigation.

A nasty voolley from our rifles failed to stop him and he singled out Karle for attack. The singer had a repeating rifle and d well aimed shot from it buried itself in the mountain lion s brain. The animal fell within 25 feet of Karle.
 It was a case of where I couldn't afford to miss, was the answer made by Karle when other members of the party asked what he would have done if the bullet had not stopped the beast.
 ''Karle has the skin of the mountain lion on the wall of his New York studio. It has been pronounced one of the larg- est belts ever taken from mountain lion in the state of Washington.

Before and at the beginning of the civil war; l was living in Greensboro. then ir Greene county, practicing law, and was member of the Greensboro Guards, state chartered company. Allen c. Jones was the captain of this company. We were ordered by the governor of the state to proceed to Fort Morgan and with other state organizations to hold the fort until other arrangements were made for this purpose.
 There were few who joined the Greensboro Guards at that time and went with us to Fort Morgan. I believe I am the only survivor of the company, as it was constituted prior to the beginning of hostilites.
 After we were relieved of service at home, it disbanded and the members gen erally joined the Confederate regiments then being rapidly organized I went to my plantation in Choctaw county, and in that county raised a company for the Confederate service.
 Judge A. A. Coleman, who had been quite prominent as citizen of Sumter county, undertook to raise a regiment and succeeded Tn raising two large companies Tn Sumter county. Judge Sprott enlisted in one of these companies, and other companies were raised in Pickens county and Choctaw. We met in Mobile and there the Fortieth Alabama regiment was organized, with Judge A. A. Coleman as colonel. To the great regret of the reg iment Colonel Coleman resigned and ac- cepted the office of circuit judge.
 My acquaintance with Judge Sprott be- gan with the organization of this regi- ment After the close of the war I knew him well as a practicing attorney. When he was promoted to the judgship, I was the solicitor of the circuit, and with him, intimately and continuously. I mention these circumstances to show I know the man in all the departments of life, and write from personal knowledge.
 As soldier he was true to every call Of duty. and though commissioned off cer, he shirked no ha~1ships, and avoided no dangers. To those who know this is saying good deal in fact as much as could be said of any soldier Amidst the trials and temptations of a soldiers life and they were many-he was always a gentleman, and thus he deported himself to the close of the civil war
