LESSON FOR THIS CITY
 IN ACTION OF EUTAW
City Not on Warrior Raised Money by Public Subscription and Built
 Highway to River

Eutaw, February Especial, )--A certain wise man in the far off past made the observation that people who were hesitating about doing things should "go to the ant and consider her ways"
 This is simply to remind towns like Birmingham and Greensboro, as well as other small places, that while they have been indulging themselves in much talk about moving to the War rior river or moving the river to them selves by constructing highways, Eu- taw has actually accomplished this feat by constructing fine road from the town to the river, distance of three miles. This was done by public sub scription and by warrants issued by the county. The work has just been completed, and while formerly one ton was a good load for four horses from the river to town, two horses may now draw twice that amount with less dif- ficulty.
 The people of Hutaw were tired of hearing the boats pass the town every day or two without stopping, and the building of this piece of road is but the first step in we'll laid plans to bring about river transportation for this sec tion.

 The President was formally notified of the requirements of the law last week and today he wrote Charles O. Hildebrandt, secretary of state of Ohio as fellows:
 ''I am enclosing to you a letter the occasion of which I daresay will be quite obvious. Friends in Ohio have called my attention to section 1854 of the general code of Ohio, as amended in 1914, which regards primary elections, and have requested that I indicate my willingness to have my name used.

Nicholas Hunt of the detective bureau, who is di- recting the search for Jean Crones, the missing assistant chef who is suspected of having poisoned the soup served at a banquet to Archbishop Mundelein here last Thursday. said tonight that the search has developed the existence of a gang of 15 anarchists whose grudge lay principally against the church and churohmen He said that he had the names of most of the members and that detectives have been instructed to search for them
 Captain Hunt named Frank Allegrini, in whose rooms anarchistic letters and literature was found. as one of the men. The nameseof the alleged anarchists are said to have been taken from these let ters. They were written in 1913 and are said to disclose widespread plot, ex- tending to Rome.

Most of the letters were without signatures.
 Several maps and drawings were found They were said to indicate that the plot- ters had designs of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke company building of Chicago. and other costly structures. Captain Hunt expressed the opinion thai the attempt to wreck St Patrick's Ro- man Catholic church in New York some time ago probably was part of the gen. eral plot of the anarchists.
 After reading the translations Captain Hunt sent telegrams to Nashville, Tenn. Salida.

Washington. February 14.(Special9 Although whatever differences that might have existed between Bibb Graves and Representative Dent nave been eiinainat- ed. the Alabama delegation is not as yet solid for the applicant for the post of assistant secretary of war
 Representative Huddleston is evidently awaiting developments. For this after noon when questioned by The Age-Herald representative, he replied: T would like very much to see an Alabamian in pos session of this high office, and trust that can eventually give my support to General Graves" Nothing further in ex- planaton would he venture
 It is thought, however, that he mas wired a certain interrogation to Birming- ham, and that on the answer his future action will depend. While as stated, he has authorized nothing save that which appears above, 1t is considered possible by other members of the delegation that his hesitation is due to the fact that General Graves was commander of the
