Thousands of messengers, ranging
in age from fourteen to sixty years,
are employed by the federal govern
ment as doorkeepers and the like for
the various secretaries, bureau chiefs,
and chief clerks in different depart
ments. In these days, when labor is
scarce. it is thought that the position
of messenger is not much of a Job

be serving his country to better ad-
vantage in some position that girls
could not so readily fill
So far the other messengers to be
supplanted in the government service
are those ranging from II to 16
years. The first to be appointed as
messenger girl was Miss Gertrude
Carrick, daughter of a retired army
officer, who also has a brother in the
army. She gave up a position which
was paying larger salary in order
to hurry up Uncle Sans war work

A. E.MANN MUST GO'
BACK To ALABAMA
To ANSWER CHARGE.

When the habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by A. E. Mann were
heard before Judge C. Moreno Jones
in the Court of Record yesterday
afternoon, the judge held that the
warrants which were issued were suf-
ficient to hold Mr.. Mann, and denied
the writ.
Mr. Mann was arrested yesterday
morning on an extradition issued by
the Governor of Florida, on applica-
ton of the Governor of Alabama,
charging him with embezzling funds
of the Bank of Florala.
Similar charges had been made
previously by the bank, and Mr.. Mann
had instituted suit against the bank,
and T. j. Britton, one of its officers,
for $4,000. This suit has come be-
fore Judge Sheppard in the federal
court here on motion of the defend
ants to quash, but the motion was
over-ruled, and the bank ordered to
file the necessary answers, to the
plaintiffs allegations.
