GADSDEN

Gadsden. January 24.-(Special. IA rich vein of manganese-bearing ore and a vein of Devonian oil shale have been uncovered on the land of the Jirama Ore company in the western part of Etowah county, according to Eugene Well The most important discovery, it is claimed, is that of the oil shale An analysis shows that the surface shale yielded AS gallons of gasoline to the ton and 1920 cubit feet of gas to the ton. It is said that the percentage of oil and gas would be four or five times greater beneath the surface. Mir. Well claims there are about 70000,000 tons of available ore on the property. Chicago interests recently purchased 5000 acres and soon will start developments. A mining camp is being laid out on the Washburn place between Ivalee ano Tumlin's Gap, from which place the com pany will ship coal.
 Shipments aggregating about sever cars a week are being made from the Crudup mines, now being operated by the Birmingham-Truss Coal and Iron company. Most of this is mined during the operation of cleaning the openings.

The contest was fiercely fought from the start, and only by splendid team work did the high school boys manage to score a victory over their more ex- perienced opponents.
 Central snatched an early lead, and at the conclusion of play in the first half led by a 16 to 12 count, The high schoolers led for a majority of the sec ond half. and with only 10 minutes re- maining to play, series of field goals placed the "Y' three points in the lead.
 Coach Thomas boys rallied however, and tied the count, and in the last few minutes of play put across the winning tallies.

ROOSEVELT CLAIMS
 RIGHT ID CRITICIZE
 CONDUCT OF WAR
Says Stones Attack on Him Was InsiduOus Effort on the Behalf of
 Germany

Washington, January 24.-TheodOre Roosevelt today, in a speech before the National Press club, asserted his right to criticize the conduct of the war and declared it to be every mans duty 10 expose inefficiency if it retards the work of the war making machinery.
 In answer to an attack made on him recently in the Senate by Senator Stone, he satd the speech was an insidious eff fort in behalf of Germany, and that the Missouri senator, who had done all he could to serve Germany in opposing war legislation, had been the first ts inject partisan politics into the war.
 Colonel Roosevelt came out in open support of Senator Chamberlain's rro- posals for war cabinet. and munitions department
 The proposal he said means that at least a proper scheme of adminisrra- ticn will be adopted by the government. l am well aware that no scheme can ac- compIish anything unless the right men are put in. but at least we will get a proper scheme of administration. In Washington you have good many 9Ldl pidSSISs DuI tIHiSuly AltIS ledil work
 While the speech contained little crit icism of individuals, the colonel spoke of the 'maladministration' of the war Department in warmly praising the work of the Senate committee. As to the worth of investigations, he said, it was the duty of Congress to get at the truth 0ad he quoted from the writings of Pres ident Wilson when at Princeton advocat- inS congressional inquiry into the acts of the administration.
 Declaring the present is no time foI politics, Colonel Roosevelt said: Nc public servant and no private citizen 1T his public relation at this time has any business to consider partisan politics ir any way
 He said he criticized the conduct oi the Spanish war and that his actior then showed he believed himself to be performing his duty now. It was never nlore necessary than now, he said, tt tell the people the truth.

Towns Complain When
 Shipments Are Diverted

Montgomery. January 4.-tSpeciai) Governor Henderson has received several complaints from towns whose coal has been confiscated by the fuel adminis- trators of Montgomery aud other points, and conferred with Samuel F. Kennedy, state fuel administrator, Thursday with a view of relieving the trouble. Several cars of coal consigned to other towns have been confiscated and diverted to other points by the Montgomery fuel committee.
 '.Why they confiseated one car of coal consigned to me" said Governor Hem derson, laughingly. "I succeeded in get ting one car released for the use of the city of Troy and cars for other points, I believe the trouble can be relieved so all towns can obtain fuel without delay. If necessary coal cars consigned to points outside of Alabama should be di- verted before cars consigned to Ala bama points are taken"

Nothing better illustrates the unwill- insness of people to take advice than story which was told 10 me just the other day. It came in letter from pr. W. c. Yates of Callnga, Cal
 At the time you were matched to fight John L. Sullivan" wrote Dr. Yates, T was in Los Angeles. About 10
 days before the fight some of my friends in the building where I had offices hap pened to tell me about the negro boot
 black in the building who was wager ing on you to whip the mighty Boston, ian.
 T liked the youngster. He was an in- dustrious little fellow and l knew that he was married and had family to sup port. When l made inquiry as to how he was betting I was told that each and every one of his patrons was asked whether he wanted to bet on Sullivan. In such a case, the bootblack would bet Sl-no more and no lesson your chances to win. He never asked odds; he was perfectly willing to get on you at even money
 At that time l was very much inter- ested in athletics and my special hobby was boxing. had followed your career and, of course, was fairly familiar with the wonderful ability of John l.. It was my belief, as well as that of the ma l jority of sport lovers of that era, that Sullivan was unbeatable-that you didn t have 8 chance against him. l realized that you had youth and speed and skill, but.I didn't think it would avail against | Sullivan.
 1 Because I had a little personal in- l terest in the young boothlaclS I decided
 to take it upon myself to issue little 1 lecture to him so as to force him to stop betting on you and, if possible, to hedge | his bets. I didn't want to see him lose
 his hard earned money by gambling it on | a shopeless proposltion So I made 1t
 my business few days before the fight
 to go down and talk to him. l T opened up by asking the young ster whether he had wagered on you to whip Sullivan
 l !" 'Yas suh. was the reply. !" How much?' l asked. 1 = An reckon it's most S9o' | Right there I proceeded to cxpound I some logic for the benefit of the boot , black. I explained to him that I was g much older man than he: that I under ! stood the ring game: that I had studied the relative merits of both fighters, anc that you didn't have chance to bea John l.. Sullivan.
 'Yas suh.' commented the bootbaclS
 Then I opened up new line of argu
 ment in attempting to show the folly 0
 betting on your chances. At it's conclu

SCHOOLS WILL NOT CLOSE

Announcement was made today by member of the Bessemer board of eduea- tion that the Bessemer public schools would not close on account of the short age of fuel.

 There is comparatively small amount of fuel consumed by the city schools, and in case of a shutdown the saving would be slight.
