ESCAPED CONVICT

B. H. Kirby, who was badly burned Thursday night, when his clothing caught fire from fire he had built in the woods near the by-product plant, and who was removed to the Elizabeth Duncan hospital, proved to be an escaped convict. Kirby confessed to one of the nurses that he was convicted of a charge of bigamy, and was given a sentence of five years, which he was serving at the time of his escape. The matter was reported to State Warden Graham, who, in company with the peni- tentiary physician, pr. Waites came to Bessemer this afternoon, when the man was identified. He was taken back in the car of Dr. Waites. It will be remembered that the man built a fire in the woods and went to sleep, waking up to find his clothing on fire He was badly burned while attempting to extinguish the fire and was found by a night watchman, who had him removed to the hospital

WILSON
 MAY DISCUSS THE
 HIGH LIVING COST
It Is Expected That He Will Make Short Address to Congress on
 Subject

Washington, December 2.-After Pres ident Wilson has concluded his address at the opening of Congress Tuesday 1t is possible he may deliver brief ad- dress on the subject of the high cost of living.
 The Presidents plans on the subject are as yet indefinite and may not be matured until the last moment before he goes to Congress. It is known, how ever, that the administration considers the cost of living one of most press ing questions of the country and that many of the Presidents close advisers have been studying the situation.
 Thousands of petitions are pouring into the White House calling for relief from the present era of higher prices for food, many of them demanding an em- bargo on food exports to Europe. They are regarded by officials as an indi- cation of a strong trend of public opin- ion toward an embargo, but, it is un- derstood, will not influence the admin istration in favor of it.

PRESENTATION
Army IS HERE
Installation Will Be Friday and
Colonel French is Expected
to Arrive That Day

Headed by Brigadier Robert Dublin
Of Des Moines, Iowa, five Salvation
Army people arrived in the Ventura
to make their home here. Brigadier
Dublin will be installed Friday night
as commander of the Hawaiian de-
partment by Col. George French, who
is expected Friday in the Nippon
Maru on his way to Korea to take
charge of that department.
Besides the brigadier, in the party
this morning was his wife, Mrs. Dub
bin, also brigadier, Capt. Harry
Booth of New York City, the brig
adier's secretary; Capt. Rose Thorne
of Des Moines, and Arthur Dublin,
nephew of the brigadier, and a, bands
man from San Francisco. The latter
is not an officer.
Mayor john Lane will officially well
come Brigadier Dublin and his party
at the installation ceremonies to be
held Friday in. the Mission Memorial
hall when the new officer will take
up the work of the former army chief
here, Col. Blanche B. Cox.
Adjutant Harry N Zimmerman of

Brigadier Dublin will take Col.

Waikiki. -= :..".
Dubbin's arrival in Hawaii falls just
CEe day short of his thirty-seventh
in the Salvation Army
service. He took up the work in Eng
land on September IA, 1879, and has
been going up the official ladder in
steady strides ever since.
Recently in charge of Salvation
work in Iowa and Nebraska, the bril-
gadier reports an increase of % per
cent in all lines of endeavor, includ-
ing converts, contributions and so
forth. He believes the army work
has enjoyed propertionate success all
over the United States during the
last year with possibly not quite so
high percentage.

GIRLS VOTE TO
permit men TO
USECAFETERIA

Men won a browning victory at the
Y. w. &. A. this noon when the mem
bers of the association cast ballots on
the question OF whether the men
should be allowed TO patronize the
cafeteria. The total vote cast up TO
2 O'Clock was 40. 106 votes favoring
the men, while only one opposed the
plan. Three votes were thrown out
by the judges of election.
A number OF remarks were made on
the ballots. Many Of the remarks
carried with them the statement that
the men were welcome as long as
they did not overcrowd the fair sex.
One voter wrote: Il like IA spice OF
men with NY meals" Another wrote.
This is no old maid club" One en-
thusiast penciled the note, Throw
out the men and | quit the Y. ". G.
A" Another one who favored the
plan said, Men increase the receipts
and don't disturb my appetite or COM
fort. I've seen them before; feed the
brutes by all means" ~
From II O'Clock until noon a crowd
of members of the Y w e. A. gath
cred in the cafeteria and at noon the
spacious lunch room was filled. As
fast as they had finished their noon
day repast others gathered to take
their places, and at one time there
was a long line waiting around the
steam tables. .s=
In a talk with Miss Cora G. Earney,
during a LUX in the voting, the acting
general secretary of the association
said that the lunch-room is certain to
be taxed to capacity within the next
two years. At the present time there
Is plenty of room in the association
notwithstanding the
large number who come at noontime.
Those who favored allowing the
men to accompany the ladies for
lunch were confident at 1915 that the
vote would be in favor of the men,
while others still had hope that the
men would lose out in the final bal
loting. r..
