ALABAMA SHEEP RAISING INDUSTRY Northwestern Sheep Grow
 CTS Looking to South as E a New Field

Representatives of one of the sheep growers associations in the northwest have written to the agriculture and mar keting committee of the Chamber of Commerce for information about the sheep industry in Alabama.
 In their letters they state that they are looking to the south as a new field for sheep culture and they want to know about freight rates from Birmingham, as a concentration point, to Cincinnati, St. Louis. Chicago, Kansas City and other northern markets, and also about eli Tnatic conditions and dog laws.
 The legislature a few dave before ad- jourring passed an act requiring all dogs to be licensed and tagged and providing that any dog not muzzled or tagged and unaccofnpanied by it's owner may be shot.
 The bill, introduced by Representative Sibley Holmes of Baldwin county, was intended to curb the activities of the predatory dogs and to encourage sheep raising in the state.
 Another letter received by the commit tee asked for information about dairying in the vicinity of Birmingham, the writer, northener, stating that he wanted to come here and establish a dairy if conditions are favorable.
 The information sought by all of the writers was furnished by Secretary Hay.

Accepts Leadership of the Roosevelt Memorial Drive Campaign for October
 20-27-Bert Meadows
 Is Vice Chairman

Charles F. DeBardeleben yesterday sig county chairmanship of the Roosevelt Memorial campaign, which will be con ducted during the week of October 20-27, with a view to raising funds for a me- morial to the late Colonel Roosevelt.
 Bert NJ. Meadow will act as vice chair man for Jefferson county.
 Tn accepting this cnairmanship," said MT. Debardeleben, q feel that I am subscribing to very estimable cause. All of us, southerners and northerners, democrats and republicans, had very wholesome respect for Roosevelt, the man, no matter what we thought of his political views When he died, we real ized that leader of men had passed. and his figure looms greater in history every day.
 T believe that Birmingham and Jeffer- son county acquiesce most heartily in the plan to commemorate the character of Roosevelt, the American. Somehow he was a man who was admired even by his enemies. He stood for the virilty of the American spirit, and it is well in these times when insidiousN foreign ideals are creeping into our national thought to exalt the memory of man who stood for America first and America unhyphenated
 In response to local inquiries as to the form of the memorial to Roosevelt, Col. William Boyce Thompson. national of the campaign, yesterday wired State Chairman T. J. Crittenden as follows:
 Some kind of living memorial foun- dation will be formed to perpetuate the name of Roosevelt It only remains for details to be worked out of plan that can be set up in practical form. The committee having this matter in hand is working hard"
 A Roosevelt foundation is proposed whose aim would be the advancement of Americanism, the assimilation of the foreign born population through scholar ships in schools and universities and the teaching of American ideals in va rious institutions of learning.
 The colleges of Alabama are much in- terested in the proposed memorial plans of this character. A college committe headed by Dr. James S. Thomas of the University of Alabama, state chairman The other members of the committee arc Miss Edith West of Athens college, tho Rev. John w. Hynes of Spring Hill col llege. Dr. R. F.

Ex-Service Man Is Found Guilty by Jury in Criminal Court and Will Be Sen
 fenced Saturday

story of ingratitude and wasted ef-
 forts came to light in Judge H. r. Hefin's court yesterday afternoon when
 Lester Denning was found guilty by
 jury of having stolen jewelry to the
 value of $500 from Mrs. B. T. Mending-
 hall of 2911 Avenue G.
 Denning, fine looking young fellow
 anything but crook, was charged with
 having taken an assortment of jewelry
 from the home of Mrs, Mendinghal,
 where he was being cared for pending
 his getting job after his release from
 the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
 worth.
 He was accused of stealing several stick pins a diamond necklace, ear rings, broochs, a watch and various other articles. He pleaded not guilty but after deliberating about an hour the verdict of guilty was returned, by the i jury. Owing to the absence of Judge l Heflin Judge W. E. Fort took their verdict. a poll being called as defend ! ants attorney was absent-the poll was unanimous.
 Denning, an Australian by birth, stated that he had been in the quar- l termaster's corps of the United States army and was sent to Leavenworth for selling government property, and strilS- i ing an officer While there, along with many others, outsiders corresponded with them in order to elevate the in mates and redeem them after serving their time.
 This is how Mrs. Mendinghall got to know him. She was a member of for convict betterment. After his time had expired his benefactress sent him the fare to came to Birmingham 3 nd took him into her own home to live, pending the finding of a position for him. Only nine days after his arrival he broke into a trunk and stole the articles mentioned in the accusation It happened when Mrs. Mendinghall was "downtown," only two little boys and | the accused being at home. He sent the little fellows to the movies and then leisurely went through the trunk. He took about $500 worth of jewelry, ac- cording to the charge
 When Mrs. Mendinghall returned home she found her protege gone as well as her jewels. It appears that he went to Meridian, Miss, where he pawned some of the articles, including ! a saxaphone for $75, this had been pur- chased for him. as his patron had se- cured him position with local band and furnished him with the expensive 1 instrument.
 | He finally landed in Chicago, where he was arrested. He had applied at ! that city for Red Cross aid after an ill., | ness and borrowed $1o, he foolishiy gave l Mrs. MendinghalPs name as reference She was notified and caused his arrest 1 He was extradited and brought back | to this city for trial
 The jury does not fix the punishment I in such cases. They. however, declare | their estimation of the value of the l goods stolen, this they estimated at 1 $500. Defining will be brought into court Saturday when his term Of sen tence will be fixed and imposed by Judge Heflin'

 FOR MAKING COUNT
Despite Preference of Discharged Service Men, None Has Applied
 for Position

George M. Cruikshank supervisor of census for the ninth congressional dis trict Jefferson county) has opened of- fices in the grand jury room, fourth floor of the federal building and is gradually getting his force of enume rators in line.
 So far he has received only a few appli- cations, surprisingly small number, he states, but he believes that as the time for beginning work approaches he will be able to secure all the assistants he needs.
 Jefferson county has been divided in- to over 400 census districts and one per son will be appointed to take the census in each of these. Special agents will come from Washington to compile industrial information for the census bureau this work being under the sup ervision of MT. Cruikshank, but in the line of duty of the enumerators appointed by him.
 Preference is given to discharged sol- diers and sailors but not one of these has so far applied for a position. Mir. Cruikshank stated yesterday.
 The census, under the law, must be taken in January, two weeks being all lowed in the cities and one month in the county outside of the cities.
