Head Of Nonpartisan
League Indicted on
Charge of DislOyalty

Fairmont, Mimi, March ia. c.
Townley, president of the National Non
partisan league, and Joseph Gilbert,
manager, were indicted by the Martin
county grand jury today on a charge
of publishing and circulating seditious
literature tending to discourage enlist
ments in the military and naval forces
of the United States.
Two indictments were returned, each
naming both men. One Is based on a
pamphlet containing the leagues war
policies and the other on resolution
passed at the nonpartisan league confer
ence in st. Paul last September at which
Senator LaFollette delivered an address.
Fred A. Harding, a Minneapolis news
paper man, who has been reporting the
league activities for nonpartisan league
newspapers, was arrested late today on
charge Of perjury and placed in the
county Jail. The charge was the out
growth of an affidavit Harding swore to
and which was to have been the basis
of a motion to quash the indictment.
Townley and Gilbert will be arraigned
tomorrow.

"Cleonatran at Jefferson

When watching the motion picture,
Cleopatra" which was created by VIII
liam Fox, with Theda Bara as the be-
witching Cleopatra. and will be the at
traction next week at the Jefferson the
atre with matinee Wednesday, the pub
lie will find it gorgeous in its settings
and costumes. and very exciting at many
times, for three raging battles take place,
including one on the water between SO
ships. The scenes that develop in a
crescendo of voluptary appeal between
Cleopatra and Caesar and her other
victim, Antony, present Miss Bara in a
more daring impersonation than IS Gus
tomary with actresses on the spoken
stage. The details of the picture are
remarkable and the splendors of Egypt
Ian and Roman affluence are shown in
many sumptuous scenes that revel in
extravaganza, made magnificent by the
beauties of ancient Roman settings, cos
tunes and character This picture is
said to have cost 5000 to produce. Miss
Bara wears so different costumes with
jewels that match each costume.

COMMITTEE PLANS

Is Urged by the
Speakers

The food conservation committee met
yesterday at 1 o'clock in the private
dining room of the Hillman hotel at
lunch. John H. Frye, chairman of the
committee, presided, and J. j. Smith
made a short but interesting talk in the
interest of the campaign. He spoke of
the splendid success of the food commit
tee last year in largely increasing the
food production of Alabama over the
previous year, and stated the committee
expected even greater results during 1918.
After outlining the plan of work Of the
committee in Alabama, DR.. Frank Willis
Bartlett was called upon. He stated the
committee sent out last week found the
people in the towns visited very anxious
to hear the messages they brought and
he assured the men present that any one
who made a trip would come back feel
ing that he had done good.
II. Nj. Dozier spoke briefly of present
conditions and stated that 1t was neces-
sary to assure the farmer a market for
his products and he would raise them.
THE merchants and business men must
show the farmer how to put his products
in good condition. for market" said Mr..
Dozier. thousands of cans of goods are
shipped away from the Birmingham dis
trct yearly and with more canneries
estn blished here, 1t would not be neces-
sary to import any canned goods. In
this district we should be exporting
canned goods, instead Of importing
them"
Capt. Frank S. White made a brief talk
telling of his trip last week and stated
the work of production must be pushed
as we'll as the conservation Of foods and
that the committees must impress on the
farmers the necessity of greater food
production.
Mr. Frye made a talk along the lines of
food conservation. and food production,
and was followed by Leo X. Steiner
who stated the trouble with the farmers
heretofore was the fact that they had
had no market for their products.
Following these talks, Mr.. Frye an
nounced the committees and towns to

K|WAN|S CLUB TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR
TRAINING SCHOOL
Special Committee Makes
Report on Campaign.
Age-Herald Cartoon
list Complimented

Knwanians are enthused over the cam
paign for funds to take care of the girls
at the Alabama Training School for
Girls at East Lake, and according to
President ]. Mercer Barnett, it is not
question of who gets. the credit in
the end, but a matter of pulling or
pushing, either one suits his organiza-
ton, but whichever way it happens 10
be, the Kiwanis club is going to have
a whole lot to do with 1t, and they
will see that the money is raised.
At the regular weekly luncheon yes
terday. the special committee which
was named to handle this mat
ter at the last meeting. Russell HUNT
chairman; James L. Davidson and w. A.
Curry. made their report. Mr.. David
son read the report, but chairman Hunt
stated that he had never enjoyed
more delightful service in his life than
working for this cause, and that he had
learned the real meaning of Kiwanis,
and gained greater appreciation OF
service The work OF the committee Is
not finished, and 1t was continued
~
about the retail coal business, and
from the cost sheets of the Empire Fuel
and Iron company he gave the members
some interesting figures on the oper-
ations of his business. 1T costs me
s1S5 to get ton of coal into your
cellar. and when you figure that we
have only about three actual big
months in the year, you can see where
the heavy fixed cost comes in, In keep
ing up our organization and taking
care OF. the business for the remaining
Hawkins. Our fat months have to
take care of the lean ones. Labor that
used to cost, us s1.25 per day now costs
us 81 per day, and where we paid SO
per ton for feed for our teams. we now
pay $75 for the same brands"
James L Davidson spoke of the book
drive and named every member of the
kiwaniS club as an assistant director
in the campaign to collect books for
the soldiers. Ted Brownell will secure
automobiles for the Boy Scouts to use
in getting the books to the city hall,
from which place they will be sent to
the various camps and military bases.
President Barnett took occasion to
compliment the work of Walter Black
man, cartoonist on The Age-Herald, for
the good work in general that he is
doing to aid in all campaign or war
work, and especially complimentary
about the cartoon of yesterday morning
on the book drive for the soldiers.

Richard Prestons eatman, brother of
John t. Yeatman and Mrs. r. L. King
of Bessemer, who is in Ambulance Corps
No. S57, at Camp Travis, San Antonio,
has written an interesting letter to Mrs.
King, describing life at the well known
Texas camp. He writes as follows:
In answer to your request 1 will give
you a few details of the life in this camp
and some happenings in our company.
To begin with, l will state that we are
being trained in a camp that is consid-
cred one of the best equipped and ar
ranged camps in the country. 1t is sit
uated on a hill and is quite rolling in
parts. We are quartered in barracks
that are very substantially built, and as
a consequence are quite comfortable.
They are we'll lighted and ventilated
and during the cold weather they We're
well heated so we did not suffer from
the cold. There are abundant showers IN
connection, which have both hot and cold
rule the men here are a splendid bunch
water. They are certainly a luxury.
Practically all the men here are
drafted men from Texas and Oklahoma.
Our company and another ambulance
company from Fort Worth are the only
volunteer companies in the camp. AS a
of men and very we'll behaved, indeed.
1t is a rare thing to hear of any of them
or in any streets downtown. They have
buckled down to their training in ear
nest and with almost perfect weather
to aid them they have made wonderful
progress. Our major told a few DAYS
ago that in dispatches from Washingt ton
this division was mentioned as the best
equipped, best trained and best appear
ing division in the whole United Statos,
exclusive of regulars of course In other
words, this is considered the crack d.
vision of the country.
