STATE EMPLOYES
 MUST WAIT FOR
 THEIR PAY CHECKS
Governor Explains Alabama Cannot Secure Loan Just. at This Time to Relieve
 the Situation

Montgomery, October 16-(Specal) Unusual conditions brought on by the war and the desire of financial institu- tions of New York to assist the govern ment in financing the campaign against imperial Germany are responsible for the peculiar financial condition of Alabama today. This explanation vas made by Governor Henderson Tuesday in ampli- fication of statement that salaries of state officials and employees who draw more than S100 month probably will not be paid by the state treasury until February
 Governor Henderson said many per- sons do not understand that the banks of New York and other points where the state may be financed consider that their duty first is to the national government, and that all available money which could be used in financing Alabama and other states is now being used to back up the government.
 The banks are taking great interest in the liberty loans,'' said Governor Hen derson. 'gThey prefer to assist the gov ernment when called upon and the money which has been used in financing Ala bama is going to the government. There is no prospect of immediate relief. Lib- erty loans will continv e to be olered and the banks will continue to believe their duty first is to the national government. This is the reason it is improble that the salaries of state officials and employees can be paid soon."
 Governor Henderson said mandamus proceedings forcing the treasurer to pay the salary warrants first could not bring permanent relief. "Of course, If the courts held that the money must be paid out in the order of the presentation CT warrants, the treasury would be forced to abide by the order, but the relief would not be permanent he said. ''The state hasn't the money. One argument is that the state should use money now being paid as operating expenses in the convict department in paying salaries. lhls would not relieve the situation, but would make it worse as the convict department is a revenue producer and the operating expenses must be paid. When they are not paid the department must be closed.
 Governor Henderson said he appre- ciated the embarrassment of some state officials and employees, but that he could see no other way out Even with bad conditions in the money market. the executive has borrowed $1,600,000 in New York. Three hundred thousand dollars constitutes the loan permitted by the constitution while the remain der, $1,300,000, covers warrants which have been hypothecated in New York pending the collection of state taxes.
 One favorite argument of those who oppose Governor Henderson's policy is that his predecessor, Governor O'Neal, and the governor prior to O'Neal, Co., mer, were able to finance the state without holding up salaries of officials and employees. Governor Henderson s answer is that they did not face the same conditions-the government was not appealing to the patriotism of all financial institutions to support it in the expenditure of billions for arms and ammunition every. few weeks

STOCK YARD FIRE IN
 KANSAS CITY SAID
 ID BE |NCENDIARY
Thousands of Cattle and Hogs Are Burned. Loss Will Reach
 S75O,0OO

Kansas City, October 1e.-Reports that the fire which destroyed a large portion of the Kansas City stockyards and today resulted in the death of ap- proximately 11,0oO cattle and 33Oo hogs, was of an incendiary origin, presisted tonight. although discredited by ef- ficials of the corporation owning the yards.
 While no definite fire damage esti- mates have as yet been made, insurance adjusters and officials of the stock yards. corporation place the loss at approximately $75o,ooo.
 Heavy insurance was carried both upon the buildings of the stockyards and upon the live stock, but the amount has not been announced.
 Investigations were made during the day by J. E. Marvin, fire warden, and Chief John Egner of the Kansas City fire department. Both men believe the fire was set, but declare that the area is so devastated that indications of an incendiary origin could have escaped in the flames.
 The statement of the officers is based largely upon the assertions of Lieut. E. J. Bishoff of the first fire company to arrive at the yards after the alarm had been received, who said that three fires were burning fully 20O0 wards apart, in different portions of the yards.
 George R. Co1let, general manager of the stoclSyards, declared he believed the fire resulted from natural causes and that the wind had blown sparks from the first fire, starting the other two blazes. Private detectives, how ever, were said to be Investigating the incendiary rumors.
 The work of clearing away the de- bris for the reconstruction of the de- stroyed pens and buildings began al once.
 Receiving and selling will be re- stunned in the stockyards in the morn ing in all classes of live stock, ex- cept stockers and feeders in the cattle class, according to MT. Collet. An em- bargo on this class will be necessary until next Monday. he declared.

Cotton Seed and Peanut Buyers Spread False
 Reports, It Is Said

Montgomery. October 16-(SpeciaI) ) The statements made by cotton seed and peanut buyers that the food administra- tion had ordered reduction in prices. and further that the government would confiscate seed and peanuts if farmers do not sell are positively false and un- founded. The food administration does not intend to fix the price Of cotton seed or peanuts. Oil mills will be licensed and the consumer will get the finished products at the smallest possible increase over the price charged by the farmers for seed and peanuts because speculation will be positively eliminated.

EDNA GOODRICH
 AT TRIANON TODAY
Queen X" Is Title of Feature Pic. ture in Which Noted Star Plays
 Principal Role

& Queen x," featuring Edna Good rich, is the attraction at the Trianon today.
 Edna Goodrich does some wonderful acting in Queen X,' and her depic- tion of the tortures of the drug fiend deprived of the dope" is horribly realistic. She has a sharp contrast ill her roles, one showing the brazen, hardened woman of the underworld and the other the young school girl and the appealing young woman of re- finement.
 The play shows scenes in a Chinese opium den, the raid of the plainclothes men, the capture of the girl dope find. the third degree methods by which they try to force her to give the names of the leaders, the agony of the drug fiend deprived of her dope. the capture of the smugglers, the court scene and the reformation of the girl.
 The story is a strong one and will hold the tense interest of the audi .ence from beginning to end.
 Queen x" will be shown at the Tri- anon today tomorrow and Friday
