INQUEST DEVELOPS NOTHING.
Jury Finds Alexander Was Killed by
Assault. But Can Not Fix Blame.

Nothing that would furnish clue
as to how Henry Alexander. whose
body was found in Linn creek in the
rear Of Els Plair street April IL. came
TO his death, was developed at the
coroner's inquest that was concluded
late Monday afternoon. The sub
stance of the testimony was no more
than was already generally known.
and did not penetrate the curtain of
mystery that has so far hidden the
tragedy that lies back Of the finding
of the body.
The jury. after hearing a dozen wit
nesses. returned verdict that Alex
ander came to his death by assault,
and that the body after death was
thrown into Linn creek by a person or
persons unknown to this jury"
So far as they have been able to
learn the officers have no clues that
were not exploited at the inquest. and
developed nothing. II is now the
opinion of those who have closely fol-
lowed the case that the death will go
down as @ another nnsoived local
murder mystery. y

TOM STR|NGFELLOW
 GAINED 22 POUNDS
 ON FIVE BOTTLES
Railroad Man Says Tanlac the Only Thing That Helped Him After Suf-
 fering Four Years

"If the people of this town only knew what Tanlac had done for me you would sell a thousand bottles tomorrow, said Tom Stringfellow, a well known en1ploye of the Southern railway, who lives at 126 East Ninth street, Anniston, Ala. MT. Stringfellow is well known in railway cir cles and is on the Atlanta and BirminS- ham division. His many friends will be glad to hear of his complete restoration to health.
 q suqered from stomach trouble and indigestion for four years continued Mir. Stringfellow "and got so I couldn't eat hardly anything. I fell off until I only weighed 119 pounds and finally got so weak and run down I was on the point of having to resign my position. To tell you the truth, just felt like life was not worth living because I just seemed to be getting worse all the time and nothing seemed to do me any good.
 q would have awful pains ip my back and kidneys and could hardly sleep. Two hours each night would be about all the sleep I would get. Most always after eating I would have gas on my stomach and my heart would palpitate I would get weak in my limbs and have dizzy spells and would have spots in front ot my eyes.
 About a month ago I began reading about Tanlac, and heard the railroad men talking about it. Several of my friends had taken the medicine and said it was a fine thing for stomach trouble, so I decided to give it trial. The first bottle helped me so much I kept on talk ing it and have just finished my fifth bot tle When I weighed the other day I kicked the beam at Al pounds, and was so surprised I turned around to see if some one was not standing on the scales. Yes, sir, that's a fact I had actually gained p pound and feel like a we'll man again for the first time in four years.
 'Tanlac helped me right from the start and before I had finished taking the sec ond bottle I got so I would eat and sleep and work as good as anybody. That's what the medicine did for me and every body who knows me will tell you the same thing. Why, can just eat anything now and indigestion never bothers me a par ticle any more. I can sleep good, too and feel just fine in every way. Speaking of eating, my grocery bills have gone up to almost double.
 Just to show you what I think of the medicine, I bought dozen bottles today in order to always have supply on hand wouldn't be without it for anything in the world
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclusive ly by Patton-Pope Drug Co, and Eugene Jacobs Drug Co., It is also sold in Ensley by D. W. Morris Drug Co.,, Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,. Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.,, and regularly established agencies throughout the state.-Adv.

work of organization to be carried out under rules and regulations laid down by the war department. Secretary Garrison agreed to do this.
 Questioned about a suggestion made be- fore the committee by Miss Jane Addams that a commission be appointed to deter mine if the possible results were being ob- tained from present expenditures on the army, MT. Garrison said he could find no evidence of extravaganza in the existing system.
 COULD REDUCE COST
 Describing the regular army as high ly polished, costly diamond" the Secre- tary said army machinery would operate duced per capita cost.
 MT. Garrison expressed strong opposi- tion to payment of national guardsmen by the federal government.
 The one thing that has prevented the working out heretofore of an adequate military policy he said. "has been the attitude of the state troops. If you put them on the federal pay roll, we will never get a sensible military policy"
 General Scriven before the House com mittee placed the producing capacity of American aeroplane factories at 20 com plete machines day. He urged that at least IS aero squadrons should be created under the proposed increase in the reg ular army urging the repeal of restric- tions of existing law requiring student aviators to be unmarried officers under 30 years of age, the general said under this law there were only 668 eligible officers in the army. The European war had shown, he declared, that aviation duty was no more hazardous than any other work, on the firing line. ssS.s.,.s.

of guncotton on board the United States submarine E-2 at the time of the explosion which caused the death of five men and injuries to nine others at the New York navy yard Saturday, according to the tes- timony today of Lieut. Charles M. Cooke, commander of the E-2, before the board of inquiry appointed by Secretary Daniels.
 It was later explained that the guncot- ton was wet, and that there was no great danger of it exploding, but members of the crew were praised for extinguishing fire that started after the explosion. If the fire had continued, the guncotton might have been dried out and exploded. Lieutenant Cooke testified that he went into the interior of the submarine and di- rected the fight against the fire.
 The court opened it's sessions today and the first action of the four members was to descend in the wrecked interior of the E-2, where they spent more than an hour.

 TELLS OF AVIATION
 Brigadier General Aleshire, quartermas- ter general, concluded his testimony be- fore the House committee during the day and was followed by Brigadicr General Scriven, chief signal officer. The latter was questioned closely about the aviation work of the army.
 The trend of Secretary Garrison's exami- nation by the members of the Senate com mittee, indicated less opposition there to the plan of the continental army than had been shown in the House committee.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, with the reservation that he foresaw many obstacles to the continen- tai army scheme and had not committed himself to it, suggested that it should be submitted in the form of a general au- thority conferred upon the President, the

GERMANY AND HER GOLD

Another piece of information brought to New York within a few days needs con firmation before it can be accepted by our international bankers as accurate The impression is strong, however that it is founded upon fact. This is the in- formation: Germany is undoubtedly con- templating, and perhaps is already at tempting, to get some of her gold re- serves out of the country so that thereby for one thing, the dangerous deprecia- tion in German foreign exchange may be checked. England suspects that this gold will not go to Holland, but instead will, if possible, reach Sweden. Germany will not try actually to send gold to the United States. But while Sweden has fulfilled her obligations as a neutral nation, new ertheless her leading men, or most of them, are believed to be in sympathy with Germany.
 It would not be difficult to get Ger man gold to Sweden, and when there it car be well utilized in strengthening eX- change or for such other purposes as Ger many deems fit. Something must be done to protect German exchange, and there seems to be no way, in view of the fact that Germany has. temporarily at least lost almost all of her oversea trade, to accomplish this except by doing what England has for sometime been doing that is, sending gold out of the country so that it may be utilized to protect ex- change.
 It should be reported that the interna- tional tinanciers now are persuaded that the war may continue at least until mid summer of 1917, and very likely even into 1918, and that this is England's view.

We were receiving so $much that to make no return seemed 'ungracious, and we insisted that John T.

Instead of his own choice of weapons, he was asked to prove his ge- nius on wet whitewash with stick of charred wood. It was like asking Me Laughlin to make good on a plowed field. But in spite of the fact that the white wash fell off in flakes, there grew upon the wall tall gaunt figure with gleam- ing eyes and teeth. Choco,at paid it the highest compliment.

MOBILIZING THEIR RESOURCES

Already some of the leaders in the financial district are speaking with admir- alton of the manner in which England is at last perfecting the mobilizing of her resources. It was a difficult problem to work out. The resources were ample. in fact stupendous but the question was how to utilize them in such manner as to make them available without at the same time disturbing the markets or caus- ing confusion. This is, at last, substap- tially accomplished, and the information to that effect which has been brought to this city, and which has been confirmed by correspondence, is spoken of as fur nishing excellent reasons for believing that foreign exchange will be taken care Of, and England will be abundantly able to finance her own needs and those of her allies. The English government has been somewhat astonished and also pleased because so large an amount of American securities has been made avail
