PEACE PLEA OF POPE
 DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Owen Believes Teutonic Autoc- racy Coming to Senses-Says America Will Aid - Thinks German People Awakening.

Washington, Aug. 23.-In the first speech on the general subject of the war and prospects of peace delivered in the Senate since the publication of Pope Benedict's peace proposals, Sen ator Owen of Oklahoma declared to- day that the fact that the pope, with the approval of Austria and apparent ly with the approval of Germany, pro- posed simultaneous and, reciprocal diminution of armaments" seemed to promise that the Teutonic autocracy was coming to it's senses.
 "We will help them reach a condi- tion of sanity" he added, "by multi plying our war efforts and by co-or- dinating every nation in the world in this struggle against the world domi- nation of the Teutonic powers"
 The senator spoke in support of his joint resolution proposing an interna- tional government and police to main tain peace and competitive armaments and the ambitions of military dynas- ties
 "Seven-eighths of the people of the world," he said "are at heart opposed to the ambitions of the Prussian mili- tary autocracy, and the United States should strenuously take steps to in- duce every neutral nation to combine with the entente allies in making war on Prussianism.

 The fight to increase the income tax rates will be resumed tomorrow with partisan lines lost. Senator LaFol- lette has pending two more substi- tutes for the income tax schedule, pro- posing to levy about $60O,0OO,O0O and $505. .000,000, respectively.

ANTHRACITE PRICES

Places Coal Industry Under Di- rectiOn of Dr. h. A. Garfield Schedule of Anthracite Prices Saving to Consumer.

MINERALOGIST
 WRITES FROM BRAZIL

Little Rock, Aug. 24-John T. Full Ter, former state mineralogist and well known in the state, has written an interesting letter to the State Bank Commission, dated July 8, from the Island of Trahira, Somewhere on the Coast of Brazil" where he is conduct ing geological survey for American corporations. He writes that he had heard nothing from the outside world for seven weeks, and gives an inter- esting description of the country. He says, in part:
 This has been a wonderful trip and 1 have seen a lot of country, the kind of country you read about, most of it dance jungle through which you have to cut every foot of the way, and where it is as dark as night by four in the afternoon. The trees over head are full of all kinds of birds with the most wonderful plumage, in- cluding parrots of all kinds and des- criptions and monkeys by the thou sand. The only drawback to the pie ture is that the ground and under growth are literally alive with mos quitoes, red-bugs, chiggers, ticks, black flies, gnats and snakes. Life down here is one continuous scratch, and never fully appreciated the eX- pression scratching for living until I came down here"
 He says food fish are abundant and excellent, and that he has eaten ali- gator steak and monkey stew, and en- joyed them.

 The fight on the individual schedule is not over. Some senators said to- day that discussion upon it would not be completed until next week.
 When it is finally disposed of there will be another battle-this time of the war profit schedule. Sentiment in favor of levying heavy taxes against these profits is growing steadily.

Relative of Mrs. Bingham Issues Statement Admitting Her Body Was Disinterred
tcontinued from Page one)

North Bingham and his friends here to- day were awaiting the next move or those who according to a statement given out last night by counsel for Judge Bingham in the early hours of last Tues- day morning caused the body of his wife, buried at Wilmington, N. C., to be ex- humed and an autopsy performed.
 The statement issued last night by Judge Bingham's attorneys contained the first definite assertion that Mrs. Bing- hams body had been disinterred. The exhuming of the body was carried out surreptitiously, and without notice to Judge Bingham, the statement said, add ing:
 Tt belongs to the public to form it's own opinion of this ghastly drama"
 After reciting that when Mrs. Bingham became i'll three physicians had been called in attendance, the statement add ed that when two weeks before her death her condition apparently became serious. her brother, William R. Kenan, was sent for and came to Louisville. He and Mrs. Bingham's sister, who was ~called to Louisville a few days later, were fn- formed of the measures that had been taken and gave their approval, the state ment asserts.
 In it's concluding paragraph the etate- ment says: If whispered suspicion shall end in the making of charges, the charges will then be met with facts.

NEGROES FOR NEXT
 DRAFT INCREMENT.

The third increment of Birmingham men for the national army probably will be composed largely of negroes, it was indicated yesterday, when prep arations were put under way for the dispatch of another contingent to Lit tie Rock
 The first and second groups of drafted men, comprising per cent and 40 per cent, respectively, of the men liable in the first call, were composed entirely of whites, according to or ders, but there were not enough white men available in the first call standing to make up the 40 per cent asked in the second increment. Negroes in Dis trict now are receiving the green cards instructing them to wind up their affairs and prepare to report for service. About 50 per cent of the men examined in Birmingham for the first call were negroes. The second 40 per cent is to be entrained beginning Oc- tober 3,
 Birmingham now has 372 men at the concentration camp at Little Rock, in- clud1ng those who departed Sunday.
 The district board reassemb1ed yes- terday and a number of Birmingham cases appealed from the decisions of the lower boards were passed upon. The present week largely will be spent Tn considering these appealed cases.

Variety is the spice of vaudeville and when added to an otherwise meritorious programme provides an entertainment that is sure to please. This applies to the bill at Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week for every act presented last night is a good one and varied enough to suit the most exacting. One of the cleverest little domestic comedies ever seen on the local stage is ''The Alibi,' presented by Joan Storm and John Mars ton. Miss Storm was handicapped by a slight hoarseness but carried out a somewhat difficult role in excellent style. Marston's silent" acting would surely bring him fame on the screen. The act is easily entitled to the honors. Freddie James got the laughs with 8 nut jug gling act that he put over in great style. He furnishes some real amusement and made a decided hit The veteran Harry Thompson also scored with character im- presentations. His police court portrayals were amusing, though his docket was a trifle long, but then police court doclets as a rule are crowded on Monday. The lessons presented a neat singing and dance number, both having good voices and use them to advantage. The Totos present gymnastic novelty that is en- tirely original and decidedly clever The picture features are up to the Loew stand ard and include Herbert Rawlinson in Flirting With Death Loews current events showing patriotic scenes that thrill and new comedies, are also shown.

 one trunk was marked, "Columbus, O., and the other one. Supply Trunk Co. No. 2" Each contained eight dozen bottles of beer. One bottle had been broken in transit and this caused the seizure. The bottles had been wrapped in quilts to conceal them. Chief Long stated no civil action would be taken.
