NEW BOARD NEEDED

Montgomery May 25.-(Special. An in- determinate sentence board, which will be charged with the duty of deciding when convicts given indetermnate sentences shall be liberated, will be necessary be- cause of the general enforcement of the Acker indeterminate sentence law, accord ing to indications now. The indetermi- nate sentence law became effective last year. but the first duties of the board of pardons under it are just now being felt.
 When a convict is sentenced to an inde- terminate sentence he may be released at any time between the expiration of the minimum sentence and the maximum sen- tence, but the board of pardons must make -minutei investigation and deter mine whether or not the convict's record' is such as to entitle him to his liberty at the end of the minimum sentence. X case in point which shows how great are the duties of the board came up yester- day.
 A convict complained that he was sen fenced for one year and that his term expired May 20, but he was not released An investigation showed that he was given an indeterminate sentence of from one to twenty years. He was under the impression that he would be automatic ally released at the end of the short sen tence if the record in prison >Nas good. Instead he must file formal application with the board of pardons and the case must. be passed upon in the regular way. This will mean that the board will be forced to give several days month to the consideration of indetermnate cases when thes short terms begin to expire in great numbers. The board of pardons is made up of the state auditor, attorney general and secretary of state.

 ID WAR VETERANS
By Associated Press

New York, May 25.-A memorial day message from President Wilson to Ameri- can veterans of the World War was re- ceived here today by the American Le- zion Weekly. It read:
 ''We approach the annual celebration of Memorial Day with our hearts filled witlk> tenderest and grateful memories ot those who have given their lives for America. The day has by custom been consecrated to the country's heroic dead. This is observed by those who were com rades in arms and who shared with the well-remembered dead the experiences, the hardships, the perils and the glory of. war; this is celebrated by the people of the contry generally, who take it as an annual occasion to renew their loy- alty to the country and to draw fresh inspiration for the tasks of peace from the memory of the sacrifices which were made so freely in times of war. The day is therefore filled with both memories of the past and inspirations for the fu- ture It gathers the traditions of what we have done\in order that we may have the courage for what we have to do.
 .Progress moves like an army; it has it's days of training and preparations; it's days of conflict and it's days of vindl- cation; it has it's camp fires and lts memories To you, who were soldiers ol America in the great war, l send afiec- tionate greetings. What your arms nave done for liberty in France your spirits will continue to do for justice at home.
 Great. experiences make great men, and out of the tragedy of this test new, heroic quality has come to the American manhood you represented, and your country's affection for what you have already done is only equaled by it's hope of the manly part you are still 10 play"

DETECTIVES HALT
 BOLD GAR ROBBERY

What is believed by police authori- ties to be one of the biggest freight car robberies that ha sever been at tempted in the, Birmingham district was nipped in the bud early yesterday morning when City Detectives F. A. Lyons and Eddie Burgess, who were returning from call on the North Highlands, saw five negro men hauhnS boxes of merchandise from freight car on the Central of Georgia switch tracks at Twelfth street. and North Fifth avenue, and placing the stolen merchandise in truck.
 The five car robbers and the two detectives saw each other a the same time. The negroes were the quickest in drawing their guns, however, and immediately all five of them opened fire upon the two detectives.
 One of the negroes. who was hid ing behind the end of the box car, fired at Detective Lyons when he was less than four feet away The ouliet missed it mark, but the powder from the shot burned the skin on top or the detective's hand.
 Detective Burgess was In as equal a dangerous position. One Of the negroes, only few feet away, Ilred several times at the detective ana one of the shots grazed his hat.
 The two detectives found shelter be- hind the truck, and after more than dozen more shots had been fired, they succeeded in driving the negroes away
 The merchandise that was loaded on the truck is valued at $2,750, and It is believed by the two detectives that the negroes had planned to make sev- eral trips, and would probably hav9 robbed the entire freight car of thou- sands of dollars worth of merchandise had the two detectives not interfered
 The truck that was being used by the negro thieves was later found to be a stolen car and belonged to merchant of this city.

Montgomery, May 25.-(Special)- Alleging unreasonable and discrimina- tory pratices on the part of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad Company in the handling of freight over the Myrtlewood branch and to points south, the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce today filed petition with the Ala bama public service commission ask ing for the elimination of the practice of routing freight over long routes when it should go over short routes It is charged the railroad makes a habit of routing freight over the long route.
