Have You Any Rats in Your Home? And If So
 You Can Be Patriotic

Anniston, January 14-(Special.)-O. M Alexander, director of Red Cross activi- ties at Camp Mcclellan, recently made a call on the patriotism of the people of Anniston. but no response has been made.
 MT. Alexander wants 800 rats or mice for use at the base hospital at Camp Me Clellan, and either the people of the city are opposed to the destruction of that number Of rats or mice, or they are just naturally averse to taking the job of catching that number of rodents.
 If there are 500 rats and mice in the city, they ought to be caught at once and turned over to MT. Alexander, who has already prepared a place for them in his vaults at the City Bank and Trust company. The field director is anxious to supply the wants of the base hospi- tai officials. and he calls upon the brave and heroic boys and girls of the commu- nifty to aid him in this matter. He also calls upon the women of the community to lay aside their chronic fear of the harmless mouse, and with a real deter imitation to serve their country in it's time of need. to lay violent hands upon the mice around the house, instead of jumping on the highest piece of furniture in the house every time the word 'mice" Is hissed through the teeth of a mischiev- ous boy or misguided husband

is now in bankruptcy and is pelns liouidated by the Birmingham Trust and Savings company.
 It will be recalled that when the trials were held here in the federal court the lists of witnesses ran into the hundreds and people were brought here from all parts of the country to testify. either for or against the de- fendants It was brought out that ths company was doing business all over the United States and while there was never any charge that funds were mis- usued, it was contended that the system by which the company operated was in violation of the federal statutes in that investors were misled as to the availability of loans after they entered the association and began making their payments.
 The two Whiteheads were given sem tences of four years each and Harris and the company were fined 5000 each, An appeal was then taken to the United States court of appeals and the findings were sustained.
 Following this an application was of certiorari. which meant that the su- preme court was asked to review the findings of the court of appeals and go into the cases. It was this writ which was denied yesterday and which is taken to mean that the defendants have no further recourse.

 THE LOCAL COURTS
Trials in Federal Court Brought Hundreds of Witnesses Here From All Over United
 States

Nasbineton. January 14.-Conviction of Lee A. and F F. Whitehead, L. F. Harris and the Standard Home com nany in the federal district court in Alabama on indictments charging vio- lation of the federal penal code, were sustained today by the supreme court, which refused to review the proceed ings.
 The two whiteheads were sentenced to four years imprisonment in the At lanta penitentiary. while Harris and the company were fined 5000 apiece.
 The news regarding the Standard Home cases will be read with great interest in Birmingham S these cases are among the most famous ever fought out in the courts here.
 The general opinion last night fol- lowing the decision of the supreme court was that every legal resource had now been exhausted and that the courts would proceed to execute the sentences.
 The cases have been pending for more than two years and grew out of the methods of doing business of the Standard Home company, which

 ward the engine was killed instantly. Those in the car who escaped were subjected to the steam from the en- zine and several were seriously scalded.

SHIPS BOUND FOR EUROPE MUST HAVE
 SUPPLY OF COAL
These Are Added to List of Essentials by the Fuel Administration
 in Order

Washington, January 14.-Shtps transporting supplies to Europe were added by Fuel Administrator Garfield must be supplied with coal. They were put ahead even of war industries aft CT reports came to the fuel administra- tion that a million tons of shipping Is held at New York for lack of bunk CTS.
 A general plan of coal distribution de- signed to meet the fuel famine in the east as outlined by Dr. Garfield tonight, gives preference first to househo1ders; light and heat; third, to ships transport ing food and war materials to the American army and to the allies; fourth, to war industries, and fifth, to all other classes of industrS,
 The programme 10 be put into force shortly with the aid of state fuel ad- ministrators will apply probably to all the states east of the Mississippi. In- dustries in the fifth cfass probably will be required to shut dSwn until the other classes are supplied. Their supplies will be cut off and if necessary the fuel ad- ministration will rsauisition any coal they may have in stsVe for distribution among the more favof~d classes.
 The less essential industries them selves may be further classified, as 1t probably will be fouRd necessary tc keep some of them ruEning more stead fly than others.
 The preferential and curtailment plan, pr. Garfield made clear tonight, is an emergency arrangement made necessary by famine conditions When relief ap- pears, the orders will be modified.
 Fuel administration officials hope that relief may be made possible by shutting down the less essential industries foI three days a week, but if it appears that this will not materially benefit condi- tions, they will be forced to remain closed until relief D assured.
 Coal consigned to the less essential industries and seized by fuel admins trators for distribution elsewhere, vii be taken. at government fixed prices in- stead of the prices that may have beer specified in contracts. The shipper vii be required later to supply the con- signee the amount taken at contract prices.

BROTHER IS ARRESTED

Baltimore, January I.-Frederick Spor- man, brother of Walter Sporman, ar rested at Old Point Comfort in an all legged attempt to blow up the naval avia- ton magazine, was also arrested here late tonight by government officers, and is held as an enemy alien. It was at first reported that Walter Sporman mad come to Baltimore in 1916 from New Eng land, where he was supposed to have landed from the U-boat U-53. His brother, Frederick, tonight told officers that they both came to Baltimore in 1910. It was shortly after this that Wal ter established relations with Bernstorff and Boy-Ed, according to the letters and other papers found in his possession.
 Four months ago Walter Sporman ob- tained employment as a time checker under contractor at Camp Meade. + was not long before he was discovered to be an enemy alien. He was discharged and placed under surveillance.
 During the visit of the U-boat Duetsch- land to this port Waiter Sporman be- came friendly with Capt. Paul Koenig, whom he is said to have known in Bremen.
 The specific charge under which Fred- erick Sporman was arrested is that of changing his residence without notice to the federal authorities. Other arrests of persons said to have had relations with Walter Sporman are expected.
 Frederick Sporman denies having had any connection with his brothers activi- ties. They did not live together here.

LIE GIVEN TO LOCAL
 PRO-GERMAN STORY

Anniston, January 14.-(SpecialD A story has been in circulation in Anniston and surrounding country for three months to the effect that Elm erson Sparks, son of Jimmie Sparks we'll known farmer, who lives near Golden Springs, had killed Capt. Ra- wee Norris of Birmingham. and that the soldier had been executed for the crime.
 How the story ever came into cir- culation is mystery to MT. Sparks, the father of the young man who is credited with the murder of his own captain on the fields of France. Mr. Sparks has not heard from his son Emerson since the report came into circulation, but he has had letter from his other son, who is serving with the Twenty-sixth infantry regi- ment in France.
 Oxford and Anniston boys write reg ularly to their relatives here and in Oxford, and none of them have men, toned an occurrence of this kind. MT. Sparks totally discredits the story which is going the rounds.

According to the Intransigeant. the commissions of inquiry sent to Italy in connection with the Caillaux case, have not yet reported to the public prosecutor, so the arrest of the former premier was not due to them.
 "A document reached the hands of military justice. however, says the newspaper which was Of such gravity and authenticity that it was impossible to permit Caillaux to remain longer at liberty"
 La Liberte says that the investigation of the Italian department of justice into the case of Signor Cavallinie, an Italian associate of Bolo Pasha, who was ar rested in Italy last November, led to the discovery of a safe in a Florence bank, the Banca 1taliana Discotto, entered in the name of Renouard. This was the maiden name of Madame Caillaux, and was used by the former premier dur ing his visits to Italy in December, 191e
 Various versions are current regarding the contents of this safe, but La Liberte declares that M. Caillaux does not deny and is not able to deny the ownership of the papers and funds deposited in the name of Renouard.
 The arrest of M. Cailaux was an- nounced in an official note which states that at 9 o'clock Police Commssary Briolet with a warrant from Captain Bouchardon the military investigator, ar rived at NJ. Caillaux's apartment to ar rest him. In the presence of Mime. Gail laux. the commissary notified the for mer premier of the fact of the warrant.
 M. Caillaux protested, adds the note,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-01-15

and then followed NJ. Prolet, who 1n- vited him to take seat in his automo- bile, in which also were some detectives. M. Caillaux was taken to the law courts and then after remaining short time in Captain Bouchardon's office was taken in an automobile to the Sante prison Half an hour later Captain Bouchardon and Commssary Priolet reported the facts to the military governor of Paris.
 Caillaux's apartment was searched but without any results Only the portfolio which Caillaux was carrying was seized Clothes, linen and blankets were sent to the prison from Caillaux's apartments.
 The news of the arrest of Caillaux created sensation. Unprecedently large issues of the Paris afternoon newspapers containing the announcement of the arrest were sold, although tho newsboys, who are prohibited by law from shouting the news, were able only to display the headlines of the news papers to passersby.
 The Temps says the arrest of Caillaux was due to documents recently produced against him before the investigating judge. It says there also is report con- corning a document which soon may be published in the foreign press. This document is understood to have placed Captain Bourchadon in the same position as when on the receipt of American dis patches he decided to order the arrest of Boo Pasha.
 It is recalled that during the trial of Mime. Caillaux for killing Gaston Cal mette, editor of the Figaro, Caillaux tes- tified that he inherited 100000 francs, and added that he could establish the fact that his fortune had not increased at the time of the trial. Verite, a new evening paper, which is favorable to Caillaux, says that some new piece of evidence must have been found, as Gail laux had been at liberty since his par ! liamentary immunity was suspended.

DUCK HUNTING

There has been n decided falling otr this year in the number of ap- pltcants for hunters' license from this county, according to the statement of Woolsey Morrow, chief clerk of the probate office. MT. Morrow attributes the cause partly to the increased cost of am- intuition and other incidentaIs connected with the hunters sport, hut more to the fact that game In Jcfferson county Is very scarce. Speaking of the scarcity of game. Mir. Morrow told the following in- cident about hunting ducks nt Lake Purdy, q don't vouch for the accuracy of this story,s said WOolsey, "but I will tell it to you as it was told to me.
