YOUTH STEALS PASTORS CAR DURING SERVICES.
 HE CONFESSES THEFT

Tuscaloosa, April 1s.-(Special,)- Officer Blondheim yesterday captured Cecil Griffin, who appropriated. an automobile at Columbus, Miss, last Sunday.
 It seems that the car was taken from the premises of a church and was the property of the minister who was inside propounding the gospel to his congregation. Griffin was traced to Tuscaloosa where he stole the Alabama tag off the car of Robert Spiller of this city, which tag he fastened onto the back of the minis ter's car, hut overlooked the Missis- sippi tag on the front, which was the means of his capture.
 Griffin is about 17 years of age and said he stole the car in order to come to Tuscaloosa to enlist in the navy. The officers have taken him back to Columbus

garage on the premises. At the time of his arrest Crenshaw first told the of- ficers that he was, from Hayneville, Lowndes county. The witness told of the trip that was taken by the two off, ficers and the prisoner in the car to the Jefferson county jail.
 A number of other states witnesses were called and testified as to the gen. eral lay of the house and promises in reference to roads fields, and other de- tails but the testimony did not have much direct bearing on the actual kill ing.
 ola Powell, the wife of the negro, Buel Powell, was put on the stand, and she swore that her husband was at her home on the day of the killing and that he came there twice month to visit his family from his work as fireman on the M. and M division of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. She also testified that he left the place between II and 12 o'clock in company with another negro in buggy for Greenville, which was number of hours before the killing of Mrs. Gaf ford.
 LINE OF DEFENSE
 It appears that the defense is en- deavoring to shift the blame of the crime from the defendant to Buel Powell, but no evidence has thus far been produced to carry this point. A number of witnesses for the defense testified during the afternoon num- hering among them George and Mary Jones' uncle and aunt of the defen- dant The testimony from these wit nesses brought out the facts concern ing the defendants clothing and as to his whereabouts on the day of the kill ing up to the close of preaching serv- ices and his return with his aunt Mary Jones, to her home.
 One of the states witnesses yet to testify is Officer Harris, who had charge of the Jail at Birmingham in which Crenshaw was placed when he was arrested. An alleged partial con fession of the murder by Crenshaw to this officer is expected
 The case is rapidly growing in in- terest, and the court auditorium was more crowded today than on the first day of the trial It appears now that the case will not get to the jury be- fore late Thursday.

"The Woman" abandons her baby by leaving it in a limousine car. Thieves steal the car and toss the baby into an ash pile, where it is found wailing by The Tramp. The Tramp raises it through babyhood and into early childhood. "The Woman" has made a success on the operatic stage and devotes her life and fortune to aiding children of the slums. Thus she comes to know both The Tramp and the kid without suspecting the latter's identity.
 When it is discovered that Charlie is not the kids father, the authorities seek to separate them, but The Tramp has spent his life evading authority and does it again. The woman dis covers that the kid is her abandoned baby, and the picture draws to a happy close.
 Chaplin as nurse, as guardian to a precocious kid, and as a reason why the police force should be increased, has one of the best comedy roles that has ever been prepared for him on the screen. First Nationals six reel of joy, as The Kid' is designated, is really a mild statement of the actual hilarity caused by the action on the screen.

FARMERS ARE USING. DYNAMITE ID RESIST. CATTLE DIP ORDERS.


 Prattville, April 13-(Special.)-It has just been learned here thai all dipping vats in the northwestern part of Autauga county and that part of Chiffon county adjoining have been blown up with dyna- mite.
 Il is supposed here that these vats were blown up on account of a recent order for all persons in that immediate section of the two counties to proceed to dip their cattle for the next six months in order to kill fever ticks. The whole of Autauga county was cleared of the fever ticks some four or five years ago, but on account of that section of the two counties being open range for cattle from both counties, it is supposed Chiffon county was never free from the pests.
 It is reported large part of this sec tion is now infested with the tick, and it is necessary to redip all cattle running on that range. It is this order to redip that is objectionable to the people, or portion of them.

 SIXREELS OF ACTUAL HILARITY

Charlie Chaplins first venture into the field of feature comedies, The Kid" one of the weeks movie sensa- tiona as the Trianon feature. Be- cause the story has strong vein of pathos throughout the unusual comedy talent which has made Chaplin the most famous funny man in the world stands out stronger and more joyous than in any previous produc- tion in which he has appeared.
 The Kid' is realization of an ambition which the comedian has held for years. He conceived the story when he was first starting on his screen career, but could think of it only as something he would like.
 Chaplin whipped his idyll into shape and started work upon the pro. duction of the story. It took him a year to complete. There are but five characters of importance in it and are characterized as The Man, The Woman. The Kid, The Tramp and The Policeman.

Many fever epidemics arc caused by impurities in the water supply, and are ended only when the water is purified. Many itching skin troubles arc caused by impurities in the blood supply, and can be stopped only when these are driven out.
 When you itch, itch, itch all day with flaming torture that drives you half mad, you should look deeper than the skin itself. The cause of your trouble may be far down in the blood stream, and require an internal treatment that will purify it before you can get relief. Any other course would be treating symntoms rather than the cause.

Speedy Liner Great Northern
To Be Used AS Navy Flagship

The Great Northern. used as an
army transport during the war and
because OF her size and speed. emf
nently fitted for passenger and cargo
service in Americas merchant ma
rine, is en- route from San Domingo
TO an Atlantic Coast navy yard for an
unique naval experiment
II is the purpose OF the navy TO fit
up tho Great Northern for use as Adj
miral Hillary Jones flagship in the
great feet maneuvers next January
when the Atlantic and Pacific divi-
sions unite on the Panama Canal for
gun practice and drill.
Problem For World Nayies
For two reasons the experiment is
being watched by foreign powers with
deep interest I'm the first place the
serious one in world nayies The
French navy has followed the prac-
tice OF establishing its naval board OF
strategy almost exclusively on shore
duty In event OF a contemplated ac-
ton the COMMUNICATIVE OF the
navy boards a fast cruiser and dashes
out at the head OF his fleet. the board
OF strategy. however. remaining. for
the most part. on land.
The British navy has followed the
practice OF having the commander-in-
chief on his flagship with his leading
strategists with him. In event of ac-
ton he would leave the flagship and
board a cruiser in order to be closer
to the line OF battle.
Decides On Experiment
In both instances the lack of proper
facilities for carrying the board of
strategy along on any fighting ship
have created a problem which the
United States Government is trying TO
solve II has been decided to expert
ment with the fast liner. with its
greater room facilities TO determine
whether this sort of vessel after all Is
not the ideal vessel for flagship a
boat OF the type OF the Great North
eTn. for example. while not so fast as
o cruiser, is still faster than any
battleship-such as is usually used as
: fiagship-and far more commodious
The Great Northern could be and
probably will be equipped so that the
entire board of strategy can easily be
accommodated for its work aboard
her during the January maaeuvers.
Involves Naval Power
But while the experiment with the
Great Northern is purely one of
strategy in which foreign powers are
