WALKER ID SEEK ; JURISDICTION OF
 l ALLEGED SLAYERS
Monroe Hill and Son, Ed Hill, Charged With Killing
 Deputy, Now Pend Trial $ In Tuscaloosa

Jasper, February 24.-(Special)- )- Apparently Walker county resents the implied charge that it's citizenship cannot give it's alleged criminals jus tice in trial court.
 At any rate. with the known fact that an effort will be made to keep the alleged soldier mobbers of Will liam Baird within the Jurisdiction of the Walker county circuit court, also comes the report that an effort will be made to reclaim Jurisdiction of Monroe Hill and his son, Ed Hill, charged with murdering Deputy Earl Trutt, near Empire, May 20, 1919.
 The Hills are docketed in tho Tus- calcosa county circuit court under a change of venue The son, Ed Hill, was tried last week in Tuscaloosa, ana the trial jury, unable to agree Upon verdict was discharged The case of the father Monroe Hill, still is pend ing. There is a probability that the date of the latter's trial will be ans ncurced within few days.
 The Hills it is alleged enticed Tru~i lit to a lonely spot on the Hill farm near Empire and shot him to death from the rear. The evidence in the trial of Ed Hill showed that shallow grave had been dug and immediately after the shooting the body Of the or ficer was thrown into it and hurrjedly covered with dirt. The sensational features of the trial aside from the gruesome detail of the murder, was the fact that the states chief wit nesses were Mrs. Monroe Hill. mother, and Clyde Hill, younger brother of the accused
 If report is correct, Tuscaloosa will offer no objections to Walker county reclaiming Jurisdiction of the two cases. It is understood that Tusca- 1oosans feel that Walker county can afford the expense and the time of trying it's own alleged murderers as conveniently as neighboring counties. It's an undesirable exchange of poss.- h la rta

Montgomery, February 24.-tSpe- ciaI.) Will the famous policy cnunciated by Andrew Jackson, "tO the victor belongs the spOiis,, be sufficient to establish the right of Judge W. l.

 This question came to the su- preme court today when w. l.. Runyan. register of the circuit court of Clay county, asked the supreme court to prohibit Judge Longshore from hearing a contest case, which he had filed in Clay county against the right of James w. King, republican,, to succeed him. Interesting correspondence was set out in the petition in support of the contention of Runyan thnt he was removed, and King wns np- pointed because Runyan was democrat and supported the Demo- cratic ticket while King vas republican and supported the republican, ticket.
 LETTER IS QUOTED
 Runyan's petition set out Judge Longshore's letter, announcing his removal and the appointment of King. It snid the competency of Mir. Runyan was not questioned. and that the removal was because "of the doctrine enunciated by the famous democrat, Andrew Jack son, 'to the victor belongs the spoils.'c

Sforza, the Italian foreign minister at London.
 The note says that Italian public opin-
 or and the Italian parliament look with disfavor on the share of 10 per cent of the German indemnity assigned to Italy. They consider this an injustice and con- tend that the Italian share should not have been less than 9 per cent, as Eng land, which was not invaded by the en- emy, and had no greater losses than Italy, is to receive 22 per cent Indeed, says the note, England gained greatly through freights and exchange.
 It is further contended that Italy's share should come immediately after that of France, which receives 52 per cent, as France alone exceeded Italy's losses. The note considers it absurd to grant a share to Serbia, whose damages were less than the value of the Austrian government property acquired by Serbia. It also alludes to the share Italy is en- titled to have of state and private prop critics in the German colonies.
 The note explains the Italian opposi- tion to the 12 per cent tax on German exports as provided for in the Paris agreement. The other allies, it says, compete with Germany in the same products and the same markets, and are therefore interested in striking a blow at, German exportations
 Italy intends to buy German products, and, in consequence the 12 per cent tax on German exports would in reality be paid by Italian importers.
 Emphasis is laid on the probability or Italian financial difficulties so long as the question of debts remains unsettled. It would be to England's interest, the ncte says, to cancel the indebtedness or Italy and France and obtain the same concessions from the United States, this being necessary to re-establish European production and normalize exchange, without which it declares American commerce will be injured. The question of debts abroad, especially in America, it concludes, must be connected with the question of German reparations.

Wood CARVING Came From Egypt.

Wood carving was common In very
early Egyptian sculpture. Some Of the
most realistic statues of the ancient
empire were carved In wood, such as
the so-called "Sheikh-el Beled" and his
wife, and number Of others. Wood
was u convenient ground for polychro-
matte decoration; that is, treating the
carved figure with thin coating OF
plaster upon which the artist placed
his colors This art was very popular
with Egyptian artists. In Greece wood
carving probably was the earliest
form Of archaic sculpture. The later
Greeks and Romans used II compare
lively little. but among the most re-
markable works Of early Christian
sculpture are the carved wooden doors
Of Santa Sabins, Rome.
