GOVERNMENT WOULD CALL
 ON ALABAMA INDUSTRIES
Secretary of War Baker Says Resources of State Would Help Large Way-Defends National Guard From Criticisms.
 Secretary Talks With Local Battery Men

Alabama industries will be called upon to take substantial part in furnishing supplies to the government, in event of war.
 Secretary of War Newton Diehl Baker stated yesterday that the department had received the survey of the Alabama in- dustries that would be available in event of war, and that the department was on the alert. As to what portion of the burden should be borne by each industry is being determined by the council for national defense, he stated In case of need. the council will gve orders.
 The department has received the list of the Alabama industries which have signified unanimously their willingness to aid in event of war, and 1t is splendid to know they are ready to do their bit, '' said Secretary Baker "The potentlali- ties of the industries have been listed with the council for the national defense and orders will be given in event of war
 Alabama, with its immense resources. would be in position to help in large way"
 Some criticism has been made of the National Guard, and it is stated that this arm of protection was a failure. How do you regard this criticism?" was asked
 T do not think that there is a single man who was not improved by the serv- ice on the border" Secretary Baker con tinued. At the time the National Guard was ordered mobilized, you will recall that the Hay bill and just been passed. It was known that the National Guard, operating under the Dick bill, was inef- fective. This being believed, the Hay bill was passed to remedy the defects under the old system.
 Two weeks after the Hay bill was passed, the National Guard was ordered mobilized. Tn view of this fact. the Ma tional Guard did not serve entirely un- der the provisions of the new system.

 ARRIVES FROM WAR
 ZONE WITHOUT HURT
Officers Say No Submarine Was Sighted and That No Incident Marred
 the Voyage

New York, March 9.-The White Star line steamship Adriatic, which left Liv- erpool March l. arrived here today with PTS passengers. Officers of the ship said the German submarine zone was crossed without unusual incident.
 Nothing resembling a submarine was sighted during the voyage, but a six-inch gun mounted on the stern and manned by experienced gunners was kept ready for instant use. The Adriatic also was equipped with devices to shroud the ship in smoke in case of attack. Among the steerage passengers were 65 seamen and horsemen, many of them Americans, from torpedoed and wrecked vessels and from ships purchased here and taken over to trade in foreign waters. Some of the men were from the Leyland line Leysian, which went aground in fog on the south Wales coast February "A with cargo of horses and grain from Newport News and afterward broke up.

 However, Curtis Judge of Greenville con- tends that to Col. Jesse F. Stallings for mer representative in Congress from the Second Alabama district, should go the praise for bringing to Alabama the bean which has in many sections practically saved the farmers from distress.
 T don't remember the time myself" said MT. Judge yesterday. Tt was too long ago and it was probably before I was born that MT. Stallings introduced the velvet beans to the farmers of Butler county I have only heard the old set tiers tell about the incident but they all recall the incident. It was along be- fore Bryan ran for President the first time, just how many years before they could not recall
 MT. Stallings in going from one town in the Second district to another during a campaign. had to drive through sec ton of Florida. Being a farmer himself, he was interested in the various crops. He finally came across a field of velvet beans and after Investigating them took some home and tried them on his farms He was so thoroughly surprised at the wonderful results that he gave them to various farmers, and went over the county urging the people to raise less cot ton and more velvet beans.
 During the last year I have heard many farmers in Butler county praising this work of MT. stalings done so many years ago and quite a few said if they had tried to raise cotton last year in- stead of the beans, they would have been ruined"

Arlie Barber, possessing "deep, abid- ing conviction" that it is working wrong and hardship on the taxpayers of Bir- mingham for the city to pay 20 per cent of the cost of the proposed Twenty-frst street viaduct, has addressed an open letter to the four railroads. Although he states that he is at odds with the four other commissioners in his judgment Commissioner Barber would have the rail- roads release the city and build it with out cost to Birmingham.
 He points out their enormous profits, their success in having the legislature pass favorable measures, and urges them to take this step.

The criticism of the National Guard therefore, cannot be exactly fair"

 He asked whether the members of the regular army showed the proper CO., operation in teaching the guardsmen tac- tics of war. Being assured that the guardsmen were accorded every atten- ton from the regulars. he became satis- fled on this point. As to the relations which ought to exist between the of ficers and men, there was division of opinion. The merits of democracy and the maintanence of marked distinction were entered into and one advantage balanced with the other.

QUESTION PRIORITY OF
 RIGHTS IN VELVET BEANS
Claims of Emmett Jones Brought Into Dispute -Greenve Man Says Jesse Stalings Introduced Product in
 Alabama Over Two Decades Ago

Emmett Jones, chief of the bureau of markets and immigration, has gained quite a reputation as a discoverer. Yet the versatile and widely advertised state official may have to fight to retain his title in this regard.
 He discovered the Alabama land book and put it over, but it was recalled that Lee Cowart had suggested the same thing some years before. He discovered and put through the Alabama travelogue, but various cities and town of the state, in a smaller way had advertised their ad- vantages in motion pictures in recent years
 Mir. Jones was the first to suggest and advocate the substitution of pigskin in the making of shoes, but some of the glory for this idea was taken away when Commissioner of Agriculture Wade, head Of MT. Jones department, issued an of ficial document of the idea, claiming it to be kind of wild dream.
 The suggestion for the organization of the state chamber of commerce came from MT. Jones and in recognition of his work, he was made managing director. But along came 8 new crowd of officials who took much of the glory for the achievement by doing away with this powerful office and giving MT. Jones one of lesser dignity.
 But in spite of all these efforts to rob the chief of the markets and immigration bureau of the honors he had won, it was thought that history itself must accord to him one enconium which would make him live forever in the annals of great Ala bamians. It was generally believed that to him alone belonged the honor of first

ments of torture used to punish the unfortunate prisoners are still intact. Professor Heery has studied prison conditions all over the world and has even Served as a voluntary prisoner in der to better appreciate the prisoners s feeling. His study of prisoners and pris- on conditions has convinced him that the present prison system is an abso- lute fai re. He says. The prison prob lem is what it is today because society has overlooked and neglected it; pres- ent methods are wasteful. inefficient and for the most part futile because of this neglect. If the American pub lie realized it's responsibilities in this field of work as 1t has in others the whole situation would be changed in a very short time. Much of the boasted the present time has been of material things. The regeneration of the men has been neglected"
 TO BETTER CONDITIONS Professor Heery does not stop with a condemnation of present conditions; :; he suggests ways and means of bet tering them. He is an advocate of the indeterminate sentence, the probation and parole system and also suggests a public defender. Here is what he says prisons should be:
 Prisons should be first and fore most vocational training schools. Con ditions should approach as near as pos sible those existing outside the stone walls. The prisoner should receive some compensation for labor expended be- cause such compensation would fur nish real incentive for increased ef- ficiency. Initiative should be developed and encouraged. The prison body should be selfgoverning in so far as it is possible. He should be free to come and go to talk and play as well as work. The nearer his approach to ac- tual life in the big green world the better equipped he will be to face that world when released.
 SCHOOL IN PRISON
 Today in many prisons under ener- getic officers of the Mutual Welfare league there is in operation school and a system of education wherein eacn scholar attends one of dozen classes, taught by an inmate teacher, and fore goes all the feeting pleasures of the concert, lecturers and moving picture shows so dear to the heart of a shut in, in order to better himself and his chances on an outside which may be 20 years away for him.
 "In the United States $S,00O, 900. 900 are invested in correctional and penal institutions. Instead of making citi- zens out of the evil doers they return the offender to the world worse off than when he was admitted to the in stitution. Our crime bills grow larger and larger each year. The interest on that sS,000,0 100000 is enormous It costs every man, woman and child 50 big, round silver dollars every year. No decrease is likely until some cohesive effort is made to teach men incarcer- ated in our prisons that punishment is a secondary consideration, and that the chief object of penal institution is to rebuild men,"
