DEPUTIES POSSE ALL ENGAGED IN
 GENERAL FIRING
Latham Said That No Automobile Was Used to Make Escape. Statement That He Did Not
 Fire at Officers Denied

Just before departing early this morning to follow up the report that two other members of the gang which escaped yesterday had been located Deputies LeeW hite and Fred McDuff told the story of how in a pitched bat tie they had killed Overton, Malno wounded Latham and had driven three others into the wooded fastness.
 Involved in the pitched battle were Deputies White. McDuff and Mickey holds, of the Birmingham force, and Vines and Smithson of Bessemer.
 "A negro living between the Jewish cemetery and East Thomas gave us the tip shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon" said Deputy Fred McDuff He said that several white men had been acting suspicious near his house, lying in the briars and smoking. We went to this site, but were unable to locate them, although we saw where they had been whiting wood and smoking.
 About o'clock we met a negro going up hill. He queried Boss, is you looking for three white men? I just seen them going up the hill there. He pointed in the direction. Con- vinced that we had located the right bunch, we deputies decided to split up.

Dear Sir: I wish to say that have taken five (5) bottles of Tanlac and have gained fifteen (15) pounds in three weeks. I think it is great medicine.

 It is nothing unusual for men or prominence to indorse Tanlac. as over twenty-five thousand inducements have been given Tanlac within the past year alone. These inducements have' come from people representing prac- tically every walk of life. including Bankers, Lawyers. Judges. Doctors, prominent Government, State and County officials. prominent men of af fairs, etc, but it is noteworthy fact that in this particular instance two well known bankers of the south have on the same day voluntarily written an expression of their gratitude for publi- cation, telling what Tanlac has done for them.
 known newspaper publishers of the South recently said
 q know that there are at least a thousand people in this city who would be glad to indorse Tanlae," and what is true of that city is true of pracs tically every other city of the south and west; in fact, throughout the entire country wherever this medicine has been sold.
 The fame and popularity of Tanlac, as every one knows, has swept over the whole country like wildfire and is now a household word from coast to coast.
 Although placed on the market lit- tie over two years ago, over seven mil lion bottles have already been sold and the demand is constantly increasing.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co; in Ensley by D, W.sMorris Drug Co: in Bessemer by Pegram- Patton Drug Co.,: in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co, and in North Birming- ham by Walker Drug Co.--Adv.

WILL BROADEN SCOPE OF
 INSURANCE

Washington. March 20.-The govern ment war risk insurance bureau, which heretofore has insured only noncon- traband, if was announced today, will 'broaden the scope of it's operations.' and hereafter insure practically all forms of contraband for European countries except arms and ammunition.
 The decision to insure contraband was reached at meeting between Sec retary McAdoo and the advisory board of the bureau and was announced in the following statement:
 Secretary McAdoo. following a meeting with the advisory board of the war risk insurance and the directions of that bureau, announced that, owing to present conditions. and with view to more thoroughly facilitating the commerce of the United States, the bureau of war risk insurance would broaden the scope of its operations and insure more generally cargoes and vessels bound to European countries. Future policies will cover practically everything except guns. arms and ann intuition"
 Under the law no insurance can be issued on vessels or cargo of vessels other than American. Heretofore the bureau has declined to issue policies on articles declared contraband by the belligerents including almost all Amer ican products. with the result that only small percentage of the American transatlantic merchant fleet was in- sured by the government. Even with this restriction. the bureau has issued approximately s2oO, 100000 in insurance since it's inauguration in September, 1914. Total losses have been small, the amount of the original appropriation of s5,000.000 by Congress for the pay ment of losses having been reduced about s600,00O. Premiums for policies are not available for the payment of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-21

losses. but have to De turned into the treasury.
 Congress recently appropriated s15.- 000.000 additional for the payment of losses, bringing the total up to approx imately $20,0O0. 900. and indications are that at the extra session request will be made for a still further appropria- ton.
 After the break with Germany, rates were advanced from 100 to 900 per cent by the bureau, or up to ? per cent of the value of the vessel or cargo 10 certain ports in the war zone. AL though these rates are appreciably lower than those charged by private insurance companies. there is little in- dication that they will be advanced.
 The arming of American ships k only a part of the programme deemed essential for the protection and pro- motion of American commerce on the seas. The insurance of all cargoes ex- cept the actual implements of battle is regarded another step in the policy of safeguarding American shippers against losses due to unrestricted sub marine warfare.

HUNTSVILLE WANTS
 TRAIN GRE WIS ID
 STOP OVER IN CITY

Huntsville, March 2O.-(Special.) )-The Chamber of Commerce has taken up with the higher officials of the Southern rail road the question of making Huntsville a stop-over point for freight crews oper- ating trains on the Memphis division. Since the eight-hour day has been in eff feet many of the crews are working over time in order to get the trains through and it is shown that Huntsville is in al- most exactly the right place for the crews to lay over without making overtime necessary. It is believed by the Chamber of Commerce that the railroad will rec ognize that it is best to make Hunts vile freight terminal and if so. many train crews will make their homes here.
 Reports from the country indicate that little if any damage has been done by the recent cold snap so far as early fruit and vegetables are concerned. The weather has been so cool that all vegetation has been held back, and it is not yet subject to frost damage.
 Dr. M R. Moorman, prominent spe- cislist of this city. is suffering from the effects of blood poisoning and has beer in critical condition. He was reported better today.
 A. A. Smith, travelling representative of Nashville hardware house, is criti- cally ill at his home here and it is be- lieved that there is but small chance for his recovery.

THE WAR SITUATION

Notwithstanding bad weather and al most insuperable conditions, rain and the obstacles placed by the Germans to pro tect their retreat, both the British ano French armies in France have made further notable gains.
 Fourteen additional villages have beer entered by the British forces from Arras southward to Ham, and they have passed the general line of Canizy Entree-en- Chaussee Nurlu, Velu and St. Leger The forward march beyond Entree-en Chaussee places the British troops within F miles of St. Quentin.
 On the southeast part of the line, how ever, the French have thrown their cav airy to within four and one-half miles of St. Quentin and also have reoccupied con- siderable territory between the Somme and the Aisne. Paris reports that the losses of the French troops in their pur- suit of the Germans have been insig- nifcant.
 Berlin in it's official communication says that in the retreat of the Germans they have rendered the field selected fol the coming engagement with the entente

 DESCRIBES BATTLE
Man Who Was Helping Send Overton to GalIows Witnesses Battle From His Front Porch and Sees Criminals Shot and Killed By
 Sheriffs Posse

The battle between Officers McDuff and Lee White and the escapes was witnessed by Solicitor Joseph Tate and w L. Ma son from Solicitor Tate's front porch.
 -I was standing on the porch waiting for Mr McDuff, who was using the tele- phone, to come out" said Solicitor Tate. T saw five men walking leisurely through the woods going in westerly direction. I immediately called the officers and Me Duff and White started to intercept them, separating after leaving my yard to cut off escape in either direction.
 As the officers advanced, the five men backed away and began to separate. The officers closed in and ordered them to sur render.
 "Overton jumped behind a large oak tree and opened fire. The first shot fired by the officers struck the tree just an inch or two above Overton's head.

 Dear Sir: Mir E. J. Henry, president of the Hawkinsville Bank and trust Company, came into my store few days ago and sald.

 CT said. All right, Mir Henry. What do you really think of Tanlac? Ills re- pIy was so commendable to the virtues of the medicine, that I asked him if he would give me signed statement anout it. He said yes, of course l wlli, ana this is his statement:
 Hast spring I was all wrong some way or other, and couldn't get right came to you and bought bottle of Tan lac and began to improve. Two more bottles put me all right. and l felt per fectly well. A few weeks ago l had the grippe and was beginning to get down and out again, and about a week ago bought another bottle and have taken it and am perfectly well again.
 unheSltat1nSly recommend IdHldc to any one who is sick and worn out, as I believe that if anybody will take Tan lac when they first begin to feel bad it will prevent and keep off sickness. It certainly is a great remedy

PRESIDENT WILSON'S COURSE IS UNKNOWN
 ID GENERAL PUBLIC

Washington. March 2O.-(SpeciaL) With appreciable degree Of cer- tainty, it cannot he stated tonight whether the President Is preparing to wage war against Germany, or to give his "peace without victory theory a more thorough and extensive trial.
 MT. Wilson is as silent as clam and as mysterious as sphinx. With the entire world awaiting his next of- ficiaI move, he played golf this morn ing. and tonight attended a vaudeville performance. Following the session of the cabinet this afternoon. each mem Der accosted declared that account of the gravity of the situation. not a word in wisdom could be uttered.
 Through some mysterious channel it has become generally known that the President is of the opinion that a state of war between Germany and the United States has existed since the Teutons destroyed the Algonquin. It is said to be his opinion that the de- struction Sunday of the City of Mem phis, Illinois and Vigilancia was sim ply an aggravation of the previous German offense. It is learned that it is his purpose eventually to appear be- fore Congress and ask that war be for mally declared But as to his definite purposes, nothing can be ascertained. It is not even made known whether he holds it advisable to call Congress into extra session next week, or await the coming of April 16.
 On the surface one knows by intu- ition, that preparations for offensive action are under way. The President is getting ready for some event of the future. But he positively declines to indicate whether he will strike with all the power of the army and navy, or whether he will await further dep- relations by German raiders or the ultimate clash between Teuton sub marine and an armed merchant vessel.

forces useless from a military standpoint, having rendered everything unserviceable which could have been of advantage for their operations A high German mili- tary authority told the Associated Press that the maneuver of the Germans had ended the plans of the entente for their spring offensive and that from strong, new positions the Germans will give bat tic to the British and French as they come across the devastated battlefield
 From none of the other fronts has there come a report chronicling particularly sanguinary engagements. There has been an increase in the outpost skirmishes in Russia. In Macedonia and north of Monastir the French war office reports the capture of Teutonic allied positions. All the French attacks here have been without result, the Germans say
 On the Austro-I Italian front the usual artillery duels and minor infantry opera tions are still in progress
 Nothing has come through concerning the operations against the Turks by the Russians in Asia Minor and Persia and by the British in Mesopotamia

'The firing then became general and a heavy fusillade came, each of the seven men being engaged. Overton was using Winchester .2S and was firing as rapidly as he could manipulate it.
 Tn the meantime Lathem had broken cover and started to run. As he crossed a little clearing in the woods he fell, seriously wounded. Almost at the same time Overton fell, shot to death with a Winchester bullet through his body. The battle then shifted eastward out of view and Tony Messina was killed just beyond the rise east of Owenton college.
 ''I do not believe as has been sug- gested, that Overton was waylaying me. was in plain view of him and no shot was fired in my direction. I think the men must have been lying in the thicket just above here and heard the officers as they were beating about in the under growth looking for them and were seek ing more secluded hiding place.
