HEIRS ID ESTATE
 IN MSHOUSE
Sisters of Murdered Mer- chant Said to Be Located
 In Montgomery

Mrs. Nancy Waldrop and Mrs. Emma Peacock, said to be in the almshouse at Montgomery. if still living, may inherit the property left by John Belser, Southside merchant, who was murdered in his store on Christmas Eve.
 Mrs Catherine Fielder of 1901 South Seventeenth street gave an Age-Herald reporter last night Information to the effect that she had known John Belser for over 50 years, and that the women, who are his sisters, went to the poor house in Montgomery in 1912.
 The names of the two women have been given to Assistant Coroner John R. T. Rives and to James McCary, ad- ministrator of the estate of John Bel ser. who will try to locate the two parties in the Capital City.
 Information was sought all over the country and numerous clues have been followed which were expected to lead to the discovery of some relative of the murdered man. The statement of Mrs. Fielder is expected to bring the nation wide hunt to a close and may lead to the delivery of the property said to be worth from s30,00 to s5o,Oo0 into prop CT hands.
 John Belser was mysteriously mur- dered in his store on the Southside on Christmas Eve. The case, which has so far baffled the entire police force, has not been solved.

Walter Moore Comments On Teachers Amliating With Labor Federation
Pioneer Citizen Believes Teachers Should Be Paid Proper Salaries, But Declares They Are Not Conscripts and Should Reject Underpay and Decline Offers
 With Dignity

Commenting on the action of num- Der of teachers in joining the Birmiug,- ham Federation of Teachers, which is affiliated with the American Federa- tion of Labor, Walter Moore, pioneer citizen of this city. gave out the fol- lowing interview last night:
 50 the school teachers have drawn inspiration from the union forces and threaten to join the band of discon- tents, industrial disturbers, general agitators and strife producers; in other words, to unionize, establish the closed shop and make demands upon the purse strings of the overburdened taxpayers of the state
 What lesson to teach the rising senerationi What a parody on the lesson of culture, refinement, patience, patriotism and toleration. What a stimulus to that spirit of socialism, resentment of government and coer- cion which has had so baneful effec. upon the industry and progress of the country!
 For one I heartily concur in the suggestion that the school teachers are worthy of their hire and that the.'

should be paid in measure commen- suratc with services rendered; but t. school teacher is a self-constituted hireling; not Q conscript forced tc serve and to give all time to the school room. The school teacher should be possessed of that dignity and inde- pendence which rejects apparent un- derpay by declining offers of employ ment with a smile and T will not and with frown and a thou shalt
 Picture some bright morning when the children have assenb bled at the call of the bell and an order comes from the union chief for a 'walk-out,' a strike and the one faithful teacher who remains is branded 'scab,' and tho little ones with books under their arms march to their homes with the an nouncement, The teachers are on a strike
 school trustees, boards of educa- tion, managers of the public funds as- sessed for the benefit of the young children should weigh well the dan gerous threats of those who would thus degenerate the public school sys- tenn of Alabama and place it's affairs in the hands of the Federation of La bor"

 M. S. Bass and W, r. Carley are the men doing the work. They have found the situation here very wholesome. they say, but had to order off the market some stock food they found which did not contain a sufficient proportion of nu- triment compared witn Ine filler mass
 In these few cases, the inspectors said, they made no arrests ou the grounds of attempts to defraud, believing that the oversight was more or less inadvertent, but at the same lime the goods could not be sold until their contents showed the proper proportions.

 The letter of Dr. Harrison to The Age Herald follows:
 some one fas asked why all thia suddAa stir about conditions at Auburn In oroer that former students of rae dear old school may understand. it has been thought wise to explain.
 "A recent article in your paper saving Mfr Eeagin. among others. had been men tionel IS possible president of the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute was ratne' enjove! by Auburn alumni The writer is a friend and classmate of Mir. Feagin and with most of the alumni, would heartily favor Billy Feagin for any place he is fit to fill, but none of us though seriously of this suggestion.
 ssWe were rather pleased to have Billy Feagin honored by such tafk-never dreaming that he or others would take if seriously. A few days ago it developel that three men-who travel much over the stata-l,ad been quietly canvassing to per suade various citizens to urge the trustees to pledge their support to MT.

Feaein was actively urging friends to see trustees in his behalf, and when we learned that Governor Kilby was calling candidates for public office and urging their influ- ence with trustees in behalf of Mir. Feagin did we wake up.
 "Uptli now the school at Auburn has been directed by men of ripe scholarship educational training and broad vision. There has been no taint of nepotism; no political swapping of influence in the se- lection of any officer or teacher. There is no occasion for any change of policy and the alumni earnestly hope and be- lieve the trustees may share our se1ti- ments and justify our hopes,
