PROFESSIONAL MAN WRITES


 Here is what one professional man has written The Age Herald;
 You may recall that I wrote you some time ago in reply to an appeal from you, suggesting that five men. or ten, contribute s1Oo or more each, if necessary to assist the blind man, who has only one arm, to establish little business in small house in some alley designated by the city. You very kindly made the endeavor through your paper to get some one to cooperate to this good end
 This blind man with only one arm is going up against the world with a noble, cheerful heart and is succeed ing in supporting himself and three boys by the sale of lead pencils. Tt does seem to me that in as rich city as Birmingham some people might pause in their mad rush for money and extend helping hand to one so sorely afflicted as this man The thing that appeals to me most strongly in this case is the cheerful ness of this man and his willingness to work or make any sacrifice in pref erence to giving up his boys. ''I am sure if a few men of wealth would only stop and think how little it would be to them and how much to the recipient, they would not hesitate to do something in this cause" There's lot more this generous cit izen said. but iii deference to his mod est request his name and other portions of the letter are not divulged.

HERE'S FUND STARTED
 TO EDUCATE POOR BOYS
By EUGENE TRAVIS

Subscriptions to be devoted to the education and maintenance of three motherless boys-JaclS, aged 12; Lcn-
 nie, aged 9, and Walter, Jre aged 6, sons of Walter Poor blind and maimed, yesterday reached total of sts5. That today and tomorrow will swell the fund to around $500 is the belief of some philanthropists who have al- ready made their contributions. In connection with this fund there have been various solutions offered that pave the way for the future of these three bright boys It Is to this ultimate aim, this one thought, the fund has been started. A blind man may support himself with a hand or. gan and selling pencils. He could sup. port a wife, for that matter But he cannot rear. maintain and educate three small sons, whose mother is dead, and bring them up to standard of Amer icsn citizenship.
 This is the main and only problem facing society today-the future well fare of these boys.

 was made for 100 bales of cotton. said
 to be stored in New Orleans or Memphis
 at that time.

Officials of Taladega Cotton
 Firm Arrested By U s. Agents

Four officials of the Savage Cotton company of Talladega were arrested yesterday by federal officers as a result of investigation intothe operations of the company by the federal grand jury in an adjourned ses- sion in Anniston Friday and Saturday.
 M. A. Savage, preident of the com pany, and his brother, W. A. Savage, general manager, were arrested yester day afternoon in Birmingham by W. E. Garner, deputy United States marshal, on indictments charging conspiracy and fraud, while D, Henry Riddle. vice president of the company, and $. E, Graham. formerly agent for the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- road at Talladega, were arrested in that city by A. H. Borders, deputy United States marshal.
 The arrest of these men, who arc well known all over the state, caused one of the biggest sensations since the famous Knight Nancy cotton case about 10 years ago in Decatur.
 The bond of A. NJ. Savage was fixed at s50oo by Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States court while W. A. Saw ages bond was fixed at s1o,000. These men will be taken back to Anniston this morning. Riddle was released un- der $1O,Oo0 bond and Grahams bond was fixed at $10,000

DRAWN FROM BANK

When this fact was discovered attor- |neys representing brokers and manufac- turing concerns rushed to Taliadega in hope of saving something out of the wreck, it is said only to find that Savage & Go. had drawn practically every dollar from the bank. with the exception of about $il GOO in a bank in Anniston. which had been attached by attorneys represent
 ing a Monroe, N. C., concern.
 The matter was then taken up by Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby, N. C.. assistant United States district attorney, with W. R. Keys postoffce inspector, who has ben working on the case for year The plan of the scheme was outlined by Mir Hoey, and within a few days Mr. Keys was in Shelby and Charlotte inves- tigating the case Here. it is stated. he found ample evidence. and during the many months he has been working OH this case he has travelled over Virginia. North and South Carolina. Alabama. Georgia. Tennessee and several other states.
 Federal officials have a mass of evil dence given before the governments jury in Anniston last week, when approximate. fly two dozen witnesses apepared and told of the schemes devised by the Savage company.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-12-23
LEADERS IN SCHEME

The investigation grew out of an ai- legged irregular cotton deal during the early rart of 1913, in which it is stated the defendants were leaders in scheme which practically drove the Icemorelee Cotton mills of Monroe. N. C., into bankruptcy, and forced Fairley & Sons, cotton brok CTS of the same city, to temporarily suspend business. It is stated that the losses will approximate. betweea a s250.000 and s500,000, which is said to affect cotton manufacturing concerns. cotton merchants, brokers and banks in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Alabama.
 The Savage Cotton company was or. ganized with a capital stock of s25,- 900, according to information received here. and it is stated that contracts were made with the Icemorelee mills and the firm of Fairley & Sons to furnish them with a certain number of bales of cotton at a certain price, securing bills of lading to which the drafts were attached and drawing the money for cotton which it is alleged was not shipped. It is stated that in many instances the drafts with bills of lading attach ed were paid from 10 days to six weeks before the cotton would move and the number of the car failed to ap- pear on many of the bills of lading is sued.
 Accrding to information secured at the United States attorneys office, when some of the shipments reached their des- tinaton it was discovered to be of inferior quality and greatly under weight, much of it being classed as bellies and linters. It had been sold to the mills as good mid. dlings, strict middlings at approximately S2 cents pound, and when received it was found to be worth from 5 to 20 cents per pound, It is alleged. Through this method a number of manufacturers and cotton mills were thrown into bankruptcy, it is stated, and Lamkin & Co. of Char lotte, N C., wio had guaranteed many of the contracts the Savage Cotton company had made with the mills, sacrificed every thing they had to make good the losses, but to no avail.
