Russia Seeks Our Trade
b. Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's.

II.
Russia is today making more official
efforts to develop and increase her rela-
tions with the United States than any
other country in the world. She has au-
thorized one of her high diplomats to
state that the Imperial Russian govern
ment would look with favor upon any
proposition coming from the United
States for the negotiation of a new trade
treaty to fill the place left vacant by the
abrogation of the old treaty of five years
ago."
And the, best proof that these state
ments are prompted by the most sincere
motives is shown by the fact that since
the beginning of the European war our
trade with Russia has steadily increased.
Our exports last year amounted to $5l3-
SIS, OOO or 10 times the amount OF 1914.
Within the past two weeks our business
with Russia has averaged more than w.
100000 a day and of this sum about s.
per cent was for materials other than
munitions and included such items as
$40, 900 worth of automobiles, $345, 900
worth of railway supplies, 100000 worth
of mining machinery, $165,0O0 worth Of
leather goods and $4,000 worth of cotton
goods. Russia is our largest overseas
customer for agricultural implements,
tools, hardware, railway equipment. shoes
and ready-made clothing.
Russia, therefore, offers great and
favorable field for economic development.
If our bankers, manufacturers, mer-
chants, exporters and importers have the
good Judgment to assist Russia in her
renaissance they will share in the profits
that are bound to result from this move

Record Attendance Can Be
Expected to Witness PldV

New York. October 5.-While it is
unlikely that new records will be es-
tablished for either attendance or re-
ceipts in the coming worlds series it
is certain that both players and mag
mates will profit to a considerable ex-
tent when the books are balanced at
the end of the conflict. Taking the
attendance of the past few years and
striking an average on the basis of
six games it will be seen that close
to $4,000 spectators can be counted
upon to witness the play.
In the IL series to date under the
control of the national baseball COM
mission, the total attendance has
reached the remarkable figure of $685.,
91S and the total gate receipts ST.
4SS,634, which gives an average charge
of admission of about $1.60 per head
Assuming that the attendance at the
coming series will reach an aggregate
of something like 1850 the gross re-
ceipts will total $2SO,O0O. Should the
title be won in four games straight or
even in five-game series the gate
receipts would necessarily be smaller
Under the rules of the national COM
mission the gross gate receipts are
divided in the following manner: The
national commission receives 10 per
cent of the receipts of every game
played; of the remaining 80 per cent,
the players receive so per cent for the
Year Att'dance Receipts
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-06

Fist four games and the club owners
40 per cent After four games have
been contested the players cease to
participate in the financial rewards
and the magnates take the entire gate
less the 10 per cent paid to the COM
mission.
Under a comparatively recent ruling
of the major leagues, the club owners
of the teams competing in the worlds
series are obliged to divide 25 per cent
of their profits among the other clubs
of their league In addition the club
authorities bear all the expenses of
the series, including ticket printing
transportation and hotel charges for
the players, grounds attendants, ush-
ers, hire of bands and score of minor
expenses.
The record attendance and receipts
Of the worlds series is held at present
by the 1912 contest when the New York
Nationals and the Boston Americans
played an eight-game series in which
the Red Sox won four the Giants three
with the second game a tie at 6-6
In this series the total attendance was
251,90 and the gate receipts $490. 449
The Chicago Nationals-Detroit Amer
leans games in 1908 form the other
extreme for the aggregate attendance
was but 62,232 for five games and the
receipts $94,975.
The accompanying table shows the
attendance, receipts and division of
same for each season since 1903 as well

the ST. Leger handicap at two miles and
a quarter, the feature race of the fall

getting off in bunch. At the end of the
first quarter they were strung out, with
Killanna running first and setting the
pace, followed by Embroidery, with Han
ovia last. This position was maintained
for the first two miles. At the beginning
of the last quarter Murphy began to move
up with Embroidery and, when round
ing into the stretch, took command of
the situation. Embroidery was never
headed thereafter and finished under
wraps.
The time for the race 1866 3-5, Is 3-5
seconds slower than the track record.

Barrie's Best

From Golfers weekly
AS long as people think of a we'd
ding as merely the ceremonial unit
ing two persons as man and wife, just
SO long will there be unhappy mar
riages. Real happiness will come to
stay only where it is understood that
marriage means a perpetual sharing OF
the best that is in each. How often
the woman is blamed when it is
really the man who is responsible for
uncongeniality, just because he never
not for himself alone, but for his wife
as well. Has this ever been more
forcefully (and beautifully expressed
than in the words Barrie puts into the
mouth of one wife whose husband had
thought that all he needed to give her
was n<ney and a title? The WHEAT
last disillusioned-is speaking:
She: If you had only been man,
Harry.
He: A man? What do you mean by
a man?
She: Haven't you heard of them ?
They are something fine; and every
woman is loath to admit to herself that
her husband is not one When she mar
ries. even though she has been a very
trivial person, there is in her some
vague stirring toward a worthy life,
rs well as fear of her capacity for
evil She knows her chance lies in
him, what is good in her finds it and
they join forces against the baser
parts. So I didn't give you up will
lingly, Harry. 1 invented all sorts OF
theories to explain you. Your hard
ness-I said it was q fine want OF
mawkishness. Your coarseness-I said
it goes with strength. Your contempt
for the weak-I called it virility. Your
want of ideals was clear-sightedness.
Your ignoble views of women-I tried
to think them funny. Oh, chung to
you to save myself. But I had to let
go.
Every husband who thinks he is do
ing his wife a favor merely by CIV
ing her a share in his bed and board
and there are some such--ought to
ponder that passage. It's implied
moral should be planted deep in the
heart of every man before he takes
out his marriage license.

MARION CRIPPLED
FOR CENTRAL GAME
Coaches Face Difficult Prob
lem in Developing
Winner

Marion, October 5.-(SpeciaL)-As a
result of the game with Mississippi
college last Friday, which Marion lost
by a score of 800, with Wingo, Parker
and Gibson, the regular backfield; Reed.
substitute quarterback, and Argo, Ma
rion's star tackle and captain, out Of
the game, the coaches at Marion face
the difficulty of selecting a suitable
team to face Birmingham High school
in the short time before the game Sat
urday.
The line, composed of entirely new
material, is the lightest of any that
has ever represented Marion on the
football field, only one man weighing
over 1856 pounds while the backfeld,
with two second string men of last
year, will average around 140 pounds.
In spite of these hardships, Coaches
Clarkson, Kinnear, Stewart and Moore
are working daily to develop before
the season closes a. team that will
equal, If not surpass, the record of
last years team.
With the team in crippled condi-
ton, the cadets are not underestimate
ing the strength of Central, and are
having daily scrimmages in hopes of
presenting a strong lineup for Sat
urday's game A number of new faces
will appear in the lineup in an effort
to develop some new material for the
Birmingham college game on the fol-
lowing Saturday The unexpected
strength of the Methodists is causing
the coaches much anxiety, especially
since the corps will attend the reunion
at Gadsden from the 10th to the 18th,
which will cause the loss of four days
of practice before the game.
notwithstanding their difficulties,
Marion supporters are confident that
the team will meet success in the
heavy schedule of this year. The re-
mainder of the schedule:
October IA: Birmingham college, at
Marion.
October 20: Southern university, at
Greensboro
october 80: Howard college, at Selma.
November TO- Southern university,
at Marion.
November IL A. P. c., at Selma

Ambrosia Counsel Go
To Interview Governor

Montgomery, October 5.--(SpecIal)
Former Governor Emmett O'Neal and w.
C. Agee, formerly a member of the Biz
mingham excise commission, spent an
hour in conference with Governor Hen
derson today. They stated that they sa W
the chief executive on small pardon
matter, which was purely incidental to
their visit here.
According to the visitors they came to
Montgomery, expecting a hearing in the
supreme court in the celebrated "Ambro-
STA" case from Birmingham, but found
out that it had been deferred until Oc-
tober Is. Several months ago, in this
case, an injunction was obtained in the
Birmingham city court, restraining in
reference with the sale of "Ambrosia," a
soft drink. Subsequently. Associate JUS
tice Mcclellan granted a writ of prohi-
bition holding up the injunction pending
hearing. and directing the three judges
granting the injunction to appear and
show cause why it should not be dis
solved. Governor O'Neal Is counsel, it
was stated for the "Ambrosia'' people,
and Mr.. Agee is interested in the sale
of the soft drink.

WANTED TWO HOURS

NO. sharply rejoined Judge Pugh,
''and / am not going to let you put the
court in that attitude"
We can complete this hearing in two
hours" pleaded Attorney Grace.
In view of your last statement" said
Judge Pugh, II may reconsider. I will
hear more from you at o'clock"
Court stands adjourned until 2
o'clock" shouted the clerk.
At o'clock it was announced that
Judge CASTOR aid been engaged as
special associate counsel to represent
Percy Brooks. This move ena bled Judge
Castor to participate in the legal de-
bate, from which he had been practi-
cal1y excluded in the morning session
owing to the passing of the case of
Mr.. Nails, his client
The question of the courts jurisdic-
tion to hear the merits of the writ of
habeas corpus prayed for by Brooks,
was the first point considered in the
afternoon. Solicitor Tate and Attorney
Dougless Taylor made arguments, in
which they quoted various authorities
to the effect that Judge Pugh had no
jurisdiction. They were answered by
Judge CASTOR and Attorney Grace, aft
err which Judge Pugh announced that
he would take the decision as to his
jurisdiction under advisement and lin
the meanwhile would enter further into
the proceedings.
This was regarded as signal vic
tory for Brooks, but the elation of
counsel was suddenly nipped in the bud
when Solicitor Tate began his argu-
ment on the fact that no notice had
been properly filed with the solicitors
in regard to the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. On this point Solicitor Tate
moved to quash the writ of habeas

CONTINUANCE DESIRED

When the case was first called at
] 1:3O o'clock by Judge Pugh, it was
at once stated that owing to the abb
sencc of Mrs. c. M. Nails. a continu-
ance was desired by Judge CASTOR. This
was granted and then Attorney M. B.
Grace, representing Percy Brooks, an
nounced ready for trial.
Circuit Solicitor Tate at once en-
tered into a vigorous argument in OBJ
position to Judge Pugh hearing the
proceedings, and he further stated that
Special Prosecutor J. Fritz Thompson
should be present and also urged that
the court had no jurisdiction Mr.. Tate
declared that no order had been in
dorsed by the court and served on
Solicitor Drake of Madison county. So
licitor Thompson and himself
Attorney Grace stated that it was nm
dc rstood that the three solicitors men,
toned had been notified of the proposed
hearing.
Attorney CASTOR said he wanted to be
heard on the question.
Judge Pugh stated that he was in
clined to pass the case on grounds of
eXpediency. He stated that the Madison
county court would convene in a little
over a month and that no matter what
was done at the present proceedings an
appeal to the supreme court would be
taken, and Mr. Nails and Mr. Brooks
would remain in jail Judge Pugh said
he had heavy civil docket which he
did not feel should be delayed for the
presentation of proceeding that would
be futile in effect The right of others
should be considered as we'll as those of
the imprisoned individuals, stated
Judge Pugh.
Attorney Grace then outlined what is
considered the probable course of pro-
cedure of the Overton defense at the
converting of the Madison county circuit
court on November 20, when he said:
suppose, your honor. that Mr. Over
tor should make an application for a
change of venue, and it is granted. 1t
is admitted by the solicitor that this
would cause several weeks delay"
Il do not know about that interrupted
Solicitor Tate. I'VE have not given up our
efforts to secure special term of the
Madison county circuit court. Attorney
General Logan Martin will arrive in
Montgomery tomorrow and on his desk
no will find letter from both Solicitor
J. Fritz Thompson and myself urging
him to confer with Chief Justice John
C. Anderson regarding the calling of a
special term of court. We have not lost
hope of such action on the part of the
justice. On the contrary, we are very
hopeful that special term will be
called"
Attorney Grace replied to Solicitor
Tate by charging that it was practically
agreed that c. M. Nails and Percy
Brooks were being held merely as ma
terial witnesses, and that it was the de-
termined effort of the state to keep these
two individuals in Jail. He stated that
he had dealt fairly with the prosecution,
but that innumerable delays had been
caused by the evasive tactics of the
state
'.All we want" said Attorney Grace,
lis a chance to get out of jail as soon
as possible. We do not want this old
mar to die in jail

was not disposed to hear the case on the
