CHARGES AGAINST
 WARDEN EVANS ID
 BE INVESTIGATED
Governor Takes Action Fol lowing Report of Bibb County Grand Jury
 on Conduct

Montgomery, September 2-(Special.) Governor Henderson today directed the state convict department to make an been preferred against J. D. Evans warden at Lucille mine, Bibb county. His action followed the receipt of a copy of the report of the Bibb county grand jury which, it was stated, charges the waroen with cruelty to the convicts and with re- ceiving money from them for aid in se- curing paroles. The governor Is having copy of the report made for the guid- ance of the convict department. It is not expected that the investigation will be instituted before next week.
 Governor Henderson and members of the convict board declined to comment on the matter pending an outcome of the probe. Heretofore, 1t seems, Evans has been regarded as a good official and the charges came as a surprise at the capitol.
 The action of the governor followed a long conference between the chief execu- tive and the convict board this morning. It is indicated that the meeting was held to go over numerous matters of de- tail with P. J. Rogers, the new presi- dent of the board, and that the Bibb county charges were discussed incidental Iy Ine cnarSeS that nave peeH DrOuSn against Warden Gresham at Flat Top also were touched on, but no action of any kind was taken as the department previously exonerated MT. Gresham of the charges.
 w. A. Gibson, agent of the Pratt Con- solidated Coal company, was with the governor and the board a few minutes on matters of detail, it was stated, re- gardng the Banner mine. His presence it was said, had nothing in common with the Evans or Gresham matters.

CODE MESSAGES SENT

followed a meeting of the four brother hood heads and 13 remaining members of their committee of $40. Some opposition to acting before the President actually had affixed his signature was evidenced
 on the meeting, but in the end the IT
 voted unanimously to call off the strike
 immediately. All of the code messages
 quickly as the decision was announced
 clerks rushed to telegraph offices with
 armloads of the messages.
 No two of the more than 600 dispatches
 were alike. One of them read, Ut is
 reported that big fire is raging in
 Toronto Another said, 'There is dan
 ger of your house burning down tomor-
 row." Even the brotherhood heads did
 not know what all the messages con- tained, the composition of them having
 been left to clerks.
 The original plan to wait until the Presi-
 dent had signed the bill before calling off the strike was abandoned in order to facilitate transmission of the messages. It was thought that if the order was not sent out until tomorrow many small tel egraph offices probably would be closed and the 10000 or more local chairmen, all of whom in turn are to receive messages from the $40 general chairmen, might not be advised. The argument also was ad- vanced that newspaper publicity tomorrow
 
 of great assistance in getting the word to the employees who would be affected by the strike.

 Although members of Congress nreathed easier when their task was done, the relief was not so much a demonstration of satisfaction over the Legislation enacted as over the imme- diate results it accomplished. It not
 only stopped the strike but served to stay the soaring prices of food and necessaries of life which had been go- ing rapidly upward for several days. They also were jubilant that at last the way looked clear for adjournment of Congress, but many members of
 both houses were convinced that with the reassembling in December the question would come up again and that tournament legislation suggested by tho President along the line of compul- sorry arbitration would be pressed. In the meantime the joint subcom- mittee recently created by Congress will get to work on problems of rail- road legislation. and prepare recom- mendations to be made as soon as pos- sible in the session. to come.
 DRAMATIC WEEK
 | The falling of the gavel on the pass | age of the bill in the Senate tonight | marked the end of a dramatic and l r ec edent- breaking week in Congress. 1 When President Wilson failed to bring l the railroads and brotherhoods to an 1 agreement and turned to Congress for | relief, he made unannounced trips to | the capitol to consult leaders about I appearing before Congress in person to engagements for the ceremony were made and the President addressed .

Do we dictate who shall be candidates of great and powerful states? What is the use of talking about treating small and weak states in the way in which we treat great states when we depart from prin- ciple and get ourselves involved in se- rious difficulties by the departure when we attempt to control Mexican politics, instead of adopting the straight course of protecting the lives and property of American citizens?''
