GREETED JOYFULLY

Port in France, Tuesday, June 26. Delayed by Censor.) )-The first con- tingent of American troops landing to- day were greeted joyfully by the pop ulation of this whole district.
 The transports whose expected ar rival had not been previously an- nounced publicly, came steaming into the harbor in long line at an early hour. The news that the Americans were arriving spread with amazing ra pidity and by the time the troop ships drew alongside the quays where the men were to disembark, thousands of persons were on hand to greet them.
 A wild welcome was shrieked by whistles of craft in the harbor and cries of "Vive la France!" and "Viva Les Etats Unis." seemed to come from every throat in the crowd. which was thickly dotted with the vari- colored uniforms of French soldiers and sail- ors Meanwhile the bands of the war ships were playing the "Star-Spangled Banner and the "Marsellaise" as the Americans colors were hoisted to their staffs

Pension Fund Provided

 Why Payments Reduced

Montgomery, June S0.-(Speciaf) The misconstruction placed on remarks made by M. c. Augood, state auditor, early last week about the reduction of the amount paid to Confederate pensioners for the quarter beginning July l, caused Auditor Allgood Sat urday to explain that the amount was not reduced because of the general financial condition of the state but rather because of the complete ex- haustion of the funds provided by the legislature for the specific purpose of paying pensions In other words, pen sions of $25, $20 and $16 for the pre- vious three quarters exhausted the fund and caused pensioners for the July quarter, the last for the fiscal year, to receive only $12.50, $10 and SS, or one-half of the usual amount

Birmingham Man Granted New Trial in Unusual
 Order of Tribunal
NO PREPARING OF SUIT AGAINST HEALTH MAN
Final Efforts to sOust Harrington
 From Office Fail-Huntsville f Druggist Cleared on Charge of Selling Ginger
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, June 30.-(Special. )-In one of the most unusual orders issued by an appellate court, the Alabama court of ap- peals Saturday afternoon gave Jacob L. Addington of Birmingham a new trial on a charge of obtaining money by false pretense after deciding an appeal against hin October 19 1916. Addington was con- ,icted and sentenced to 10 years in pris- on for forcing widow to convey ai in- strument for $50 to him after he had represented himself as an attorney
 The court of appeals decided against a new trial Judges John Pelham and Rich ard " Evans supporting the decision, while Judge J. B. Brown favored another trial. The case went to the supreme court on petition for a writ of certi- oraria but this court declined to inter fere However, it suggested to the court i, of appeals that further consideration should be given to the case to determine the sufficiency of the evidence. In the meantime Judge Pelham died and Judge Evans retired, being succeeded by Judge William H. Sanford and Charles R. Brtcken. Judges Sanford and BricIen voted with Judge Brown and the certif-  cate of affirmance was recalled and the case reversed and remanded.
 Had the case gone another day the judgment could not have been recalled and Addngton would have gone to pris- on as the term of the court of appeals expired Saturday night.
 Addington was witness in the inn reachment trial of Sheriff T. J. Batson two months ago. He has been in the Jefferson county jail since the charge was brought. The supreme court doubt ed the sufficiency of the evidence be- cause there was an indication that Ad- dington did not get the money because he represented himself as lawyer. Rath- CT, it appeared hef breed the money by threatening to put the woman's boy ir Jail

Hugh M. Dorsey Is Now
 Governor of Georgia

Atlanta, June 30-Hugh M. Dorsey, who, as solicitor of the Fulton superior court, prosecuted Leo M. Frank, today was in- augurated governor succeeding Nat F. Harris, one of his opponents in four cornered primary race last August. The Frank case was not an avowed issue in the primary campaign, but in the ab- sence of any other principal issue, it was commented upon more or less by press and public.
 The ceremonies were more simple than usual and were without military display. In his inaugural address Governor Dor sey recommended that the legislature create state council of national defense,
 pleaded for new taxation for schools and
 for better schools for negroes, mentioning
 the fact that approximately 50,00O negroes
 had left Georgia for the north and east
 recently. He stated that if the pardoning
 power of the governor are limited that
 it would work towards reduction of crime.
 Much of the address was given over
 to discussion of the financial problems of
 the state which are expected to consume
 the, major portion of the time of this leg
 islature.

VOYAGE ON SCHEDULE

The voyage was made on schedule time, without any serious mishaps to men or machinery. The port of arrival was known by Tess than a score of officers until the ships were almost within sight of land. All unnecessary communication among the ships was dispensed with. the wireless being used only in unusually ur- gent cases. The sighting of porpoises and other objects in the water resulted in frequent alarms.
 The departure of the vessels from an American port was made quietly in the early morning. There were no farewells of any kind.
 Intensive training by the ships crews began immediately. Target practice was held daily except within the submarine zone. towing spar was fitted up with a dummy perscope and an unusually high percentage of hits was registered on this target
 All the guns were manned throughout the entire voyage, lookouts constantly scanning the waters and horizon for strange and suspicious craft. Stereopticon views of German battleships, raiders and submarines were shown to the men to enable Identification of any enemy ves- sells. The last few nights of the voyage were dark and foggy and thus it was
 impossible for submarines to operate without exposing themselves or coming within easy range of the guns aboard the ships of the expedition.

 CAN SELL GINGER ]. D. Humphrey. former mayor of Huntsville and one of the prominent to be not guilty of violating the pro- hibition laws through the sale of essence of Jamaica ginger in a decision of tne court of appeals Saturday. This ruling was of far-reaching importance as 1t provides that druggists may continue to use Jamaica ginger in prescriptions and medicines and are not responsible for the acts of persons who use the prescrip- tions as beverages or intoxicants.
 Humphrey was convicted of violating the prohibition laws the only accusation being that he sold Jamaica ginger to man named Harr, who became intoxi- cated by drinking it, The court of ap- peals held that the prohibition laws eX- pressly provide that no druggist shall be prevented from using alcohol i'll com pounding prescriptions and medicines. It held that the lower court should have given an affirmative charge to the de- fendant.
 The attorney generals department an nounced that an application for rehear- ing would be requested. This is pre- lminary to an appeal by the state to the supreme court. The case will not be fnallly decided until October
 MORE DECISIONS
