CAPT. WHITE SAYS ANOTHER SHOULD
 ABONDON THE RACE
(Continued from Page Five)

public stands anxious and waiting to applaud this act of unselfish devotion to the party and loyalty to MT. Wilson. The Age-Herald, the sponsor of these gentle men, will insist upon this course and ap- plaud this act of one of it's proteges. It can then point with pride to it's course, when 1t so generously commended the withdrawal of MT. Allen and the unquali- fled indorsement by them of Judge Dem son, in which 1t said:
 Something new in Alabama political history occurred last night, when Ray Rushton. R.. E. Spraggins Judge B. M. Allen and J. J. Willett indorsed the can didacy of Judge N. D. Denson, one of their opponents, for delegate from the state-at-large to the democratic national convention, and Judge Allen announced his withdrawal in the interest of Judge Denson For one time, at least, the voters have had convincing proof that some candidates mean what they said in their prediction pledges, and that there come times in the affairs of na- tions, when even candidates can be actu- ated by purely patriotic motives
 Should these gentlemen not follow the course suggested, it would necessarily discredit their sponsor, which has pledged its faith for their sincerity, patriotism and unselfishness, This paper has 9 character for consistency and record

the fight onto American films for exhibition in the United States.
 A motion picture projecting ma chine containing the original films of the fight was set up on the Canadian side of the line. and on the American side within 12 inches of the other machine a motion pie ture camera was set up. Powerful electric lights were used to trans fer the pictures from the project ing machine to the sensitized film in the camera. In this manner the film makers, it is charged, hoped to evade the law.
 Washington, April 11-Customs officials practically have reached a decision to seize the Johnson Willard fight pictures which were made by a photographic process at q point on the border between the United States and Canada. A new law sustained by the supreme court forbade bringing the orig inal films into the country, so the promoters brought the films to the border on the Canadian side and made pictures of them with cam eras on the American side.
 Customs officials hold that the intent of the law cannot be de- feeted by such a process.

HHAT the motion picture version
 of "An Alien,' George Beban's film adaptation of ''The Sign of the Rose" presented at the Strand theatre last night before a capacity audience, was distinct success, was easily manifested by the simple fact that though often ripples of laughter swept the audience, the final big mo- 1nent was of such dynamic power that the tears could not be denied-and there was a general use of kerchiefs. And when people cry in photoplay house-it is significant of the suc- cessful portrayal of some emotion that sweeps an audience into a sympathet- ic understanding. An Alien" under the masterful touch of George Beban, easily does that.
 An Alien will be presented at the Strand theatre again tonight, and also tomorrow night. However, tomorrow afternoon there will be a special mat inee at 3:15 o'clock. Special reserved seats are now on sale for the mati- nee, which will be the only time "An Alien is presented to a Birmingham audience in the afternoon.

 Out of difference to the expressed wishes of a number of parents, the committee has arranged to make the line of march only about half as long as it was last year. It was recalled that the children were kept in line so long last year that many of them were almost exhausted at the end of the trip. This year it will be different and the procession will not consume half the time it did on the pre- ViOus occasion.

Not only will the public and The Age-HeraId rejoice at this unusual example ana sacrifice for the interest of democracy and President Wilson. but imagine I can almost hear the hand-clapping of the Presidents near-friends in Washing ton, of which anxiety and interest in the Alabama political situation we have heard so much, when they learn how one of the truly loyal stood the acid test when applied to his friendship for the President, and which required a real sacrifice at his hands.
 SUGGESTS RAY RUSHTON
 There being no other course for these gentlemen to pursue and keep faith with the public, and protect the good name Of their sponsor, but for one Of them to withdraw, the question presents itself as to which one of them shall make the sacrifice. That, of course. if for them to decide. The public is expectant and wondering as to which of the three will die for the cause. If the precedent set by Judge Allen is to pe observed, then the altar will claim for it's victim my good friend and former opponent, MT. Ray Rushton ('Truly, death loves a shin ing markD, as he was the last of the three now in the race to qualify, but am not insisting upon the observance of this precedent. In fact, am not asking either of them to withdraw.
 'I am willing to leave it to the demo- cratic voters at the polls. but the public will be severely shocked, unless one of these gentlemen, by withdrawing from the race, give that convincing proof that some candidates mean what they said in their prediction pledges. and that there come times in the affairs of na- tions when even candidates can be actu- ated by purely patriotic motives.'"

Joseph L. Felch of Waits
River Shot Through the
Temple at Sugarhouse
AUTHORITIES ARE
INVESTIGATING
He Left Home Early Satur-
day Evening; Body
Found Sunday

| Waits River, April 24.-The body of
Joseph L. Felch, with a bullet wound
| through the temple, was found in his
sugarhouse, one-half a mile from his
home, early Sunday morning by search
ers who had gone there when he failed
to return home the night before. As the
circumstances of the death were not
wholly clear, although rifle was found
under his body, the county authorities
started an investigation, States Attor-
ney Frank s. Williams of Bradford or
dering the body brought to this village
and guarded until the arrival Of DR.. b.
FL. Stone and DR.. c. III. Dalton of the
state laboratory in Burlington. An au-
topsy was expected toll be made late to-
day.
Mr.. Felch left his home early Saturday
evening, announcing that he was going
to the sugarhouse to boil sap, the sugar
house being located west of his home.
As he did not return during the night,
Mrs. Felch, her daughter, Bernice, and
Miss Josie Hero, who was employed in
the house, went out in search. Their
search was soon rewarded with the dis
coyery OF the body, lying face downward,
on the floor Of the sugarholrse and beside
the pan where he had been boiling sap.

thoriAies were notified.
States Attorney Williams gave per-
mission for the removal of the BODY to
this village. When the body was lifted
a rifle was found. The nature of the
wound was such as to indicate that death
was instantaneous. Although it is said
there was no ground for believing that
anyone had murderous intentions against
Felch, there was still some doubt about
its being case Of suicide.
Felch was 32 years of age and had re-
sided in Waits River all his life, having
been a native of the place. He leaves

BURNED FATALLY
IN HIS HOME
George Maynard, 20, Of Burlington, May
Have Tipped Over Kerosene Lamp
He Was Burned from Head
to Foot.

Burlington, April "a George May
nard died at Mary Fletcher hospital yes
terday afternoon from burns received at
his residence on Conger avenue Saturday
evening. Considerable mystery attaches
to the manner in which Maynard was
burned. The first that was known of
anything unusual was when the man
rushed out of the house screaming for
help, his clothing being in flames. A
lively blaze had started in his apart
ments on the second floor. Aid was at
once given the man who was immediate
ly rushed to the hospital in the police
ambulance while the fire department re-
sponded to an alarm. The theory is that
Maynard, who was alone in the house
at the time, was preparing lunch and
either tipped over kerosene lamp or the
lamp exploded. Whatever happened, his
clothing became saturated almost in
stantly with flaming oil. The unfor-
tunate mans body was burned from head
to foot.
Mr.. Maynard was 26 years OF age. He
is survived by his wife, who was Miss
Alma Duhamel and whom he married
about five years ago. He also leaves his
mother, Mrs. Regina Maynard; two
brothers, Arthur and Frederick; and four
sisters, Mary, Bertha, Anna and Yvon,
all of Lakeside. The body was taken to
the undertaking establishment of Arsene
Boucher on North street.
