RODMAN'S FLEET
Arrival of Armada Greeted
by Hundresd of Thou
sands = Oregon Has
Place of Honor

San Francisco. September 1.-San
Francisco is under naval law tonight
and will remain SO for a week. The
new Pacific fleet entered San Francisco
bay today, passed in review before Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels and took
possession of the city. San Francisco
hoisted every available flag and said:
The city is yours"
The arrival of the fleet was greeted
by hundreds of thousands of persons
Early in the day they sought the
vantage points of beach and hill and
waited for the armada.
When the New Mexico. flagship of
Admiral Rodman, passed through the
Golden Gate at the head of AZ fight
ing ships of various types it found a
bay dotted with small craft, shore
line black with spectators and the sky
blurred with airplanes.
The old battleship oregon, small in
comparison to Admiral Rodman's
dreadnaughts, but once probably the
most famous battleship in the world
Mad the place of honor in the naval
pageant. From the Oregon, Secretary
Daniels reviewed the fleet.
AS each ship passed the bulldog
Oregon and saluted the secretary with
10 guns, the Oregon's band played a
bar of the national anthem in return
After the review Admiral Rodman
and other officers of the fleet boarded
the Oregon to pay their respects to
Secretary Daniels.
While only AZ ships were reviewed,
10 more took part in the days events.

Delegation From Jefferson,
$50 Strong, In Montgomery
To Kill New County Plan

Montgomery, September 1.-fSpeciaD
Over $50 Jefferson county citizens, rep
resenting every kind of business, pro-
fession and labor are in Montgomery
to protest against carving a new coun-
ty out of Jefferson. They came in to-
night on the Louisville and Nashville
train and at once got busy interview
ing members of the legislature, most
of whom have returned from the week
end at home.
I'VE are here to stay until the mat
ter is settled said George w. Yancey
chairman of the delegation at the Gay
league hotel tonight.
Many of the representatives. prob
ably majority. have promised to
vote for the new county proposition
They did it, so The Age-Herald cor
respondent states, under the impression
that there was no opposition in JEFF
ferson county to the creation of Pettus
county. 1--WE never heard of any OPP
position to the bill until last week,

GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD
BY Associated Press

Nashville, September 1.-Governor
Roberts offered Monday night rewards
of $3.50 for each of the two prisoners
sentenced to electrocution who escaped
from the jail at Knoxville when the
jail was stormed Saturday night, and
5000 for each of the two life termers
who escaped. Following a conference
by telephone with Sheriff Cate, the
governor decided to offer no reward
for the apprehension or the mob lead
ers in response to a request to that
effect from the sheriff.
The governor said mat seven OF the
ring leaders of the mob are under ar.
rest in Knoxville and that the sheriff
believes that he can round them all up
better without reward being offered.
Tho situation in Knoxville is still
very tense, according to Governor Rob

Maurice Mayes precipitated the riot.
arrived there today for the funeral of
his wife. The funeral stirred the popu-
lace again to such a pitch that the
sheriff informed the governor that the
situation still held many elements of
danger Monday night. Knoxville and
Athens units of the state troops will
spend the night in Knoxville, Governor
Roberts said, and stay longer if needed

we believed what was told US by the
new county supporters"
I'VE have stock of petitions signed
by hundreds of voters in the terri
tory proposed to be included in the new
county protesting against the passage
of the Pettus county BILL" said Mr.
Yancey. I'm one precinct so of the 80
qualified voters signed the petition. All
of the civic bodies in Birmingham and
various merchants organizations have
voted unanimously against the division
of Jefferson county"
Members of the legislature who had
promised to vote for the Pettus county
bill are hesitating about doing so since
they learned that the health and sani-
tation of Jones valley and its hundreds
of thousands of inhabitants depended
upon the continuance of a one-county
government for the entire valley. They
are also ready to admit that it would
be bad policy to have politicians of
another county control the Warrior
river terminals which Birmingham and
Jefferson county have planned to build
during the next year.
On the same train with the Jeffer-
son delegation came a number of Bes-
sener citizens who are here to lobby
for the Pettus county bill.

of large number is expected to off-se
this claim.
A large delegation also will so from
Fairfield, the interest in the bill at Fair
field being almost as intense as at Bes-
semer.
Representative George Ross, who ieft
Monday for Montgomery was very hope
full of the passage of the bill, accord :

and urged that a large delegation as
possible be sent to Montgomery Monday
and Tuesday from the district. Quite

To Discard Freckles,
Tan, Pimples, Blotches

The use of creams containing animal
grease sometimes causes hair to grow. You
run no risk of acquiring superfluous hair
when you use ordinary mercolized wax.
There is nothing better for discolored skin,
as the actually absorbs the offensive
cutiele-rradually, gently, so there is no de-
tention indoors and Inconvenience. The
discarded complexion naturally is replaced
by a clear, smooth. healthy one-full of life
and expression. It's the sensible way to get
rid of a freckled, tanned. over-red, blotchy
or pimpled skin. Just procure of
mercolzed wax at any druggists and apply
nightly like cold cream erasing in the morn
ing with soap and water. 1t takes week
or so to complete the transformation.
