INJUSTICE WAS DONE
 WARDEN, SAYS RISER
Henry East Only Secured Trousers and $40 From
 Johnson

Montgomery, February 15.-(Special.) j That little credence is to be attached to many of the reports circulated in con nection with the escape of Henry East, from a Louisville and Nashville passen- ger train last Saturday morning. while being brought to Alabama in the custody of Warden R. L. Johnson of Wetumpka, was the statement made this afternoon by J. M. Riser, associate member of the state board of convict inspectors. Mir. Riser declared that the board in session in the governors office this aft. ernoon, had received a full report from MT. Johnson. The only reference he had to the report however, was that rumors in connection with East's escape had done MT. Johnson great injustice. The report was not made public.
 It was learned that the board did not formally take up MT. Johnsons report The greater part of the session was con stunned in a discussion relative to mak- ing contract with the Dixie Turpentlne company of south Alabama for the lease of S5 more convicts than are now em- ployed from the state. This contract it was learned will be f0nally drawn up tomorrow
 At tomorrow session the board will also take up in detail the report of War den Johnson concerning the escape of East. Whether or not they shall deter mine that an investigation should be or dered is matter open to speculation.
 Warden Johnson was before the board only short time. So far as could be learned, he submitted his report and left To newspaper men he expressed consd- erable surprise at the reports which had appeared in the papers concerning his prisoners escape. He declared that prac- tically every report had been exaggerated
 He admitted that East had robbed him but said he had secured about $40, rather than $170, as had been reported in the papers. He said the only clothes East secured was a pair of trousers.
 "If East succeeded in unlocking his handcuffs and the shackles, he took them with him. declared MT. Johnson, be cause they were not left on the train" The board, it is understood, will give consideration to the matter at tomorrow $ session.

CHILDREN'S MATINEE IS
 REMARKABLE SUCCESS
All Seats Sold Out for Symphony Concert This Afternoon Proves How Eager Children Are for High Glass Music
 When Properly Encouraged
sy SlRs. SIDNEY M. uLLMAN

The Bijou theatre. at which the Min neapolis Symphony orchestra will give children's matinee, has been completely sold out and hundreds of school chill dren are disappointed for unless they attend the night performance, and not many seats are left for that, they will not be able to get in at all
 This was the last report made by Mrs. Richard Johnston at 3:so Tuesday after noon.
 The knowledge of this splendid sale Of seats shows how necessary it is for Birmingham to secure some suitable place large enough to seat the public at such performances as this" said Mrs Johnston, in speaking of the matinee
 Miss Leta Kitts and many others of the musical public were more enthusiastic than ever over the idea of having fre- quent orchestral performances at popu- lar prices. and said she had no doubt each of them, with the proper prepara- ton, would be just as great a success as this.
 Nothing more interesting or speetac- ular has ever been done for the chil- dren of Birmingham than the selling out of the Bijou theatre for the matinee per formance of the Minneapolis orchestra. The credit of this, and the interest, is largely due to the fine work done in the public school by Miss Kitts. the super intendent of music.
 Miss llitts, in speaking of the chill dren said: A very remarkable thing about this audience will be the fact that the entire audience will be prepared for what they will hear and therefore ap- preciative. The children have been taught not only the seating of the or chestra. but the music for they are able to sing long, difficult passages with perfect ease.
 The value of this performance is two- fold the children will always remem- Der this splendid musical treat, the seat ing of large orchestra will always be familiar to them, and they will even at an early age learn to discriminate be- tween the good and the bad in music

 ton of liability of Germany to make rep aration for injury to neutrals the Der lin foreign office has removed all cause of possible difficulty.
 Last week, when the tentative proposal of the German government was rejected after being considered by the cabinet it was stated the difference of opinion regarding the words recognizes and sassumes' was chiefly responsible for the fact that, as high administration officials put the Lusitania ease, while '.substan- tially" settled the negotiations were not ended.
 BUT ONE EXCEPTION It is said that the document now is just as the United States suggested il
 be with the one exception, but the na- ture of this exception was not disclose tonight. It was believed, however, that the wording used in connection with ref erence to the conduct of reprisals had been modified.
 Germany also is understood to have au- thorized Count Von Bernstorff to state specifically in the communication that ii is in answer to the last American note on the Lusitania and to direct attention to the assurances which have been giver previously in connection with the Arabic case
 Insertion of these provisions was in formally requested by Secretary Lansing. With them included the formal document will in itself be a complete record of the assurances given the concessions granted and the agreements made. Officials and diplomats said tonight that if the communication as submitted to- morrow by Count Won Bernstorff con tained the statement that Germany rec. ognizes liability for the lives of neutrals lost in the commission of an act sucf as the sinking of the Lusitania prob ably the last cause of contention had been removed and that the administration could well proclaim having achieved rec. ognition of all the high principles for which it has contended.
