 Among His OlUn People
By GRACE LAINHART

Sunday, and there were memorial ser vices in the little church. Over 1500 peo- pie were there. They came in on horse back from over in adjoining counties on mules through the mountains in OK teams and on foot from q distance. York was everywhere. smiling, tolerant, an. swering questions, looking after his mother, showing the reporters the won- derful spring, romping with a new calf The Germans would not have been much in fear of him as he was then.
 He is not at all spoiled and he will not allow himself to be. He laughed in the faces of the managers who offered him big money It must have been an as- founding experience for those men He belongs to this country. He would not be happy anywhere else. His training here as boy and man was what did the work on that eventful day last fall
 This Saturday York will be even hap. pier than he was last week It will be his wedding day. Hundreds more will be there to see him. The governor oi his state will marry him to the young woman he fought for and every one who can get to Pall Mall will be there
 Those who see York all agree in their admiration of his great fine simplicity He is just Al York, and there is nc nonsense about him.

 It was late afternoon when Jane started
 toward the boarding house, after her
 first wonderful day of shopping in New York.

 of inspecting such beautiful things in

 Bonnie bounets. shimmering shirt waists. lovely lingerie. delicate lacy
 things of which she had seen pictures in
 the women's magazines. graceful gowns
 all these had been hers to inspect, to
 touch and even fondle with an affection
 ate gentleness akin to reverence. for the first time in her one and twenty years
 New York's shops offer to the visitors unusual opportunity for indulgence in the luxury of seeing, trying on-and re l serving decision''-the most beautiful gar ments in luxuryloviug feminine world !

Tn few weeks must repay that money. I'd be ashamed to wear clothes purchased with his cash and so l must not buy more than I can earn"
 Accordingly, after indulging to the ut most in the visual enjoyment of more exquisite garments than she could ever hope to purchase in dozen years of hard effort, Jane sought the milliner and inodiste whose addresses had been sug gested by H. Montague Mortimer It was
 in the famous shops that she had revelled in the wealth of styles. Iii the, small es- 1 tablishments Jane expected much simpler offerings and lower prices. The purchase of a tasteful hat had taken little time, for a number of bar gains-at this tag-end Of the season

MINORITY TOLEAVE
 CONVICT SOLUTION
 ID THE GOVERNOR
Report Made Yesterday Says Testimony of Brutal Treatment Came From
 Unruly Convicts
By WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery. June 7.-(Special) )-Three members of the recess committee on pub lie roads and convicts, wno voted against the convict lease system in Alabama, made public a statement Saturday in which they said many reports of brutal treatment of convicts at the coal mines came from the unruly convicts them selves. The minority report will not be- come a part of the record to go before the legislators in July, the majority on Friday having voted against it.
 Taking the position the system of leas- ing convicts is bad the committee sug- gests that the chief executive be given authority to solve the problem without legislative enactments.
 The members of the committee who meeting Friday of the committee follow: Senator Rogers of Sumter county ..nd Representatives Dansby of Choctaw and Green of Dallas county. The majority consists of Senator Craft of Mobile, Representatives Ross and Arnols of Jef- IeISOu, UT Ol MdrSudu dnu oeAdlor Leith of Walker county.
 The minority report follows in full:
 I've as members of the recess com mittee on public roads and convicts, herewith respectfully submit the result of our investigation and the conclusions we have come to after this investiga- tion.
 You will find a great mass of testi- mony as to the brutal treatment of con- victs, both as to those who are working in the mines and in the turpentine camps This testimony comes largely from the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-08

convicts themselves. and in general from those convicts whose records in the camps are not good. We found no gen. eral complaint from the convicts as a whole. In one turpentine camp condi- tions were generally bad and this camp has been abolished by Governor kilby. The complaints of the convicts as to be- ing mistreated and underfed are not of the present but of conditions in the past.
 'FWe submit all this evidence to you. gentlemen of the legislature, for your di- gestion for what it may be worth and without expressing any opinion of our own as to it's truth anu reliability.
 We believe that the evils in the mines and in the camps. except those that are inherent in the criminals themselves and the necessity of disciplining those who do not willingly submit themselves to the constituted authorities. grow largely out of the system of leasing convcts to persons and corporations for gain. We therefore recommend the abolition of the lease system as soon as some rational disposition of the convicts can be made. which will enable them to be self-sus- taining and which will better and not make worse their condition. We are un- alterably opposed to any disposition of the convicts that will impose additional taxes on the already heavily taxed citi- zens of the state.
 We must nave money to educate the children of the state, to take care of the blind and helpless little ones, and for this purpose we believe the great mass of the lawabiding people of 4.la. bama are willing to pay taxes. We do not believe they should be willing to pay more taxes to maintain in idleness and luxury the housebreakers, highwaymen and murderers.
 ''We believe from the experience of the cfa 0 of rTov, ;,, by the state in state-owned mines that this will be good way to handle many of the convicts who are confirmed crim- inals and whose employment in outside pursuits would menace the property and lives of the citizens of the community in which they are worked.
 We have found Governor Kilby dili- gent in seeking out the abuses of the convict system; that he is visiting the camps and mines himself; that he is ably assisted by c. B. Rogers, head of the convict department, and that abuses un- der this administration are being rapidly cured.
 Tn conclusion, we believe, with all the information before us, that it is wiser and safer to leave to the governor of Alabama to find solution of the con- vict system than to attempt this solution by laws enacted by the legislature JJn- der the penal laws of Alabama the gov ernor is clothed with adequate powers to dispose of the conYicts as may seem wisest and best. He assures us that col laborating with the head of the convict department plans are being perfected to end the leasing of convicts during his administration"

 SAW A COUNTESS SMOKING CIGAR


 Paris, May 2-'I once saw the Countess de Paris writes a woman in an evening paper. day or so after the recent death of the countess. T was little girl, but have never forgotten it. It was at the station, St Germain-des- Posses.
 Look at that lady, my father said, she might have been Queen of France
 T looked and saw lady wearing a widows long veil and smoking an enor- nous cigar! On each side of her was beautiful young girl, the Princess Isabel and Princess Louise of France, her d. ughters. The countess strode along the platform, her long black veil floating be- hind her crepe bonnet and her cigar pre- ceding her.

 SAYS ENGLISH CAN GET THE BUSINESS
By Associated Pres.


 London. May 7.-Belief that Great Brit ain can have the trade of South America for the asking, despite the competition which the United States has built up there during the war, was expressed by Gordon Ross, formerly financial editor of the Buenos Aires Standard in an address he delivered here recently MT. Ross is quoted as saving that there is in some South American republics a jealous fear of the extension of the influence of the United States and he repeated the state ment that it had been cynicaly said in tuth America that the Monroe doctrine meant not so much America for the Americans" as America for North Amer icans."
 Mir. Ross told his hearers that British neglect of advertising in South America had an important effect upon their trade; that 1t was important that cataIogs should be published in the language of the people and that prices should be quoted in the currency of the country
