Mrs. Fulenwider Receives Letter From Paul
 Chapman's Lawyer
Evidence of The Age -Herald's Popu- larity and It's Wide
 Circulation

Nothing has impressed me more in connection with the petition which Dolly Dalrymple presented to the public for me in the case of young Paul Chapman, the l6-year-old boy now in Sing Sing said Mrs. Leslie Fulenwider yesterday, than the fact that The sAge-Herald is so widely read. Not only have 1 re- ceived letters from all over Alabama relative to the petition, but from all over the south-Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and other states. This shows the large circulation of The Age Herald, and that it is widely read. From Tusca- loosa l received a tremendous lot of ne mes-hundreds signed the petition and l am still receiving letters every day and forwarding them to MT. Wood, Paul Chapman's lawyer
 Many inquiries have been made as to what the lawyer in the case thinks of the proposition now and what effect our interest here in the south has had upon the boys case, so I am glad to be able to produce a letter which I received a few days ago from MT. Wood, in which he expresses the belief that there isn't any danger now of the boy suffering the death penalty and I am sure every body who has been interested in the case will be glad to hear this good news. Everybody who has signed the petition car feel that their name has been in strumental in helping the case for, in deed, every name has, and l am more than grateful to all those who have re- sponded so kindly"
 Mrs FulenWider's interest in the Paul Chapman case. it will be recalled, came about through her sister, Zoe Beckley of New York, the well-known newspaper woman, who wrote most appealing story In connection with the case. This Mrs. Fulenwider passed on to Dolly Dai- rymple, who reproduced Zoe Beckley' s story, adding to it her own opinion of the case and presenting it to The Age Herald readers
 The letter Mrs F,ulenwider received from Paul Chapmans lawyer, Matthew w. Wood, few days ago, reads as fol- lows:
 ''New York, September 1, 19lS Mrs. A. l.. Fulenwider, East Lake, Ala.
 Dear Madam: Replying to your favor of the 29th ultimo, I would like to state that am deeply grateful for the interest you have taken in the case of Paul Chap man. have received numerous petl- tions and letters from residents of Bir- mingham and from other cities in Ala bama and outside of the state. Mrs. Chapman, the boys mother, is also most appreciative of the cooperation of so many ladies.
 T do not believe there is any danger now of the boy suffering the death pen atty. Our principal efforts are now di- rected to obtaining executive clemency, so that the boy may be given another chance to make good.
 "I have read the newspaper article with great deal of interest.
 II shall be, glad to keep in touch with you from time to time as to the progress Of the case. Very truly yours,
 "MATTHEW w. WOOD,
 No. 2S3 Broadway"

Absurd Propaganda Is Being Spread in the
 County Mining Camps

Steps are being taken to counteract a new form of enemy propaganda which is being encountered at various mining camps of the district. It con sists in the circulation of reports among the negroes that they cannot eat all of the canned goods they have put up because the government is go- ing to confiscate various percentages of such products.
 While it is realized that among the we'll informed the absurdity of such res ports will be apparent, at the same time it has been found necessary to go among the miners and assure them that all such reports are the work ct enemies of the country who want to cause all the embarrassment and dis satisfaction possible.

The name of Hippo" Vaughn will go real worlds series heroes, despite the fact that he has lost two of the three games he has pitched. Vaughn lost his first game by passing Shean and drop ped the second one by hitting White man, thereby enabling the Sox to start their regular fourth inning rally. But yesterday Barrow's men never had chance to win, although Jones pitched creditable game. Hippo" stood the heavy hitting Bostonians on their heads when the pinch arrived and with three-run backing was never in danger of losing.
 Eastern scribes pay a high trib ute to the fighting spirit of the Chicago team and declare they play with more pep and vim than do the Sox. In fact they are so anxious to win that they make blunders that would not be pulled in an ordinary game.
 That near-strike of players in Boston will do much toward lessening the in- terest in the remaining game or games, as the case might be- The public has been patient enough to permit worlds series in war times but it won't stand for any squabbling over sheckles or stalling around, no matter who is to blame.
 Some fans are harsh enough to voice the opinion that if the players share in the gate receipts of the remaining games, that the series will drag along as Tar as possible. but we don't take

Traner testified that at the Chicago meeting Debs said he hoped that the secretaries would do nothing to change the programme. In substance tho foregoing constitutes the governments case.

Sterr- ling, stenographer. who performed a similar task for the socialist convcn- tion; c. F.. Ruthenburg, now serving a year in the Conton workhouse for cp- posing the draft, and Edward A Evans, q soldier whose prevlous reportorial training led him to take copious notes of the speech while on furlough f. om Camp Perry. Ruthenburg was socialist candidate for mayor of Cleveland. It was his case which was carried to the supreme court of the United States and on which the espionage act was declared constitutional
 Ruthenburg wrote tho St Louis war programme" and testified as 10 it's adoption. He said Debs did not attend the convention.
 The defense noted many objections appeal is necessary MT. Debs will be the principal witness for the defense. Evans was introduced largely to show that men of draft age were present during the Canton speech and subject to it's influence.
