Albany, September 29.-(Special. My
brother was recognized by two girls Who
in their excitement, revealed his identity
The sheriff of DeKalb county, of course,
got wind of it, and, of course, was anx-
ious to get the reward of $780," This
statement was made here today by A. f.
Overton of Huntsville, brother of David
B. Overton, under arrest on the charge
of numbering Probate Judge Lawler of
Madison county. Mr.. Overton accom-
panied his brother from Nashville to De-
catur, taking the train at that point for
his home at Huntsville. David Overton
was being carried to Montgomery, where
later in the day he was placed in Jail.
The statement of A. E. Overton con-
tradicted previous statements to the ee-
feet that his brother had been recognized
and turned up" by travelling man.
My brother is absolutely guiltless CT

Overton declared. He continued: My
people have been the victims Of cam

say it in the presence of newspaper men.
but / believe that only about one out
of every 100 newspapers will tell the
truth. They strive to present the ser,-

for years been active in the Baptist

COMMENT ON SPEECH

Berlin. Thursday, September %.
(yia London, September 29.-There
will be many people in the German
empire who will go to bed tonight
feeling easier than they did, says Vic
tor Hahn in--an editorial in the Ma
tional Zeitung regarding Chancellor
Won Bethmann Hollweg's speech in the
Reichstag.
Editor Hahn declares the chancel-
lor's denunciation of England was the
dramatic high-water mark of his
speech and that when he said states
men should be hanged who did not
proceed against this enemy with ev-
cry means tending to shorten the war
he, as the responsible minister Of the
empire, said In pregnant words what
has laid inarticulate in the soul OF
the German folk
1.-THE speech fairly breathed conf
dence and strength" concluded the ed
itorial, and though everyone expect
ed to hear of revelations the address
could have contained nothing more
valuable than the unshakeable belief
in eventual victory and the blessed
future of the German people,
DR. Bethmann- Hollweg has solemn
w established the fact that no polit-
ical weakness nor false consideration
lanes Germanys arm against England,
and that he has spoken the clear and
unequiyocal work. though it's effect
iyeness on Germany's inner political

at the earliest time that arrangements
could be perfected for their movement. He
stated that all the soldiers will be paid off
before their departure this being done

New Orleans over the Louisville and
Nashville railroad and the Southern Pa

ENGLAND'S VIEW

London, September 2S.-The address of
the German Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg in the Reichstag is
more remarkable for what it omitted
than for what it said, according to Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, who,
in discussing the speech with the Asso-
ciated Press today declared the most sig
nificant fact with the chancellor's ut
terance was his failure to mention Bel
GUM. Lord Robert said:
There is very definite change in the
tone of the speech of the chancellor. The
talk of complete German victory is en-
tlrely absent Another remarkable thing
was that there was not word about
Belgium. The significance of this is
probably that he was unable to say any
thing about Belgium as his listeners can
be assumed to be tho whole world, and
he was bound to offend a section of 1t IL
Belgium was mentioned. If he attempted
to Justify German occupation he would
offend the best Of all neutral opinion, and
he equally would offend his own people
if he expressed an option to give up that
country.
..Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg's denun-
citation of England, while violent, con-
tanned nothing really new. 1t was merely
the old trick of attempting to convince
our allies that we are trading on their

Club Women of Chicago
Want Embargo on Wheat

Chicago, September 29.-Resolutions
asking an embargo on wheat and floll
were adopted today at a meeting Of club
women, most of whom defended bakers
here for raising the price of bread The
increase, they declared, was justified by
war exports, crop shortage and added
manufacturing expenses, due to improved
sanitary conditions.
At the same time officials of the office
of United States District Attorney Cline
who are inquiring whether there was
any illegal agreement among the bakers
to raise prices called attention to quota
tions from the union papers.

Continuing, the chancellor said: What

unites all it's sons with an unseverable
bond, if not the interrupted force of
arms and hearts which lives at the rock

Nothing of this which has stood the
fire test can be missed in peace times
What has turned out to be true in war

end. Unmeasured work was for US the

STA and Germany for $50 years have had
to defend their existence. This was for
our good fortune and will be SO again.
Great tasks which await US in all do
mains of the state and of social economic
and political life need all the vital sold
forces of our nation. 1t is necessary for
the state in order to conquer all cbsta-
