Statement Of
 B. o. Byrd

While in Montgomery on Friday morning last with Mr. Felix L. Smith, IT,, we learned that MT. Palmer Gail lard, son of the associate public serv- ice commissioner, and classmate of MT. Smith at the University of Ala bama, wes in Montgomery. When un- able to locate MT. Gaillard at the ho- tels MT. Smith sought information of him at the office of the Public Serv- ice Commission.
 MT. Smith introduced himself to MT. White, Secretary of the Commission, and then introduced me as the land agent of the Alabama Power Con- pany. Upon MT. Smith inquiring if MT. Palmer Gaillard were in the city MT. White stated that he had been in the city that morning, but could give no further information. Upon MT. Smith inquiry about Commissioner Gaillard he was advised by MT. White that he was probably out campaign ing.
 MT. Smith then stated to MT. White that he (Mr. Smith) and MT. Palmer Gaillard had been class mates at the University of Alabama and that he (Mr. Smith) had been taking an ac- tive interest in Coosa County in MT. Gaillard's campaign. At this instant a negro porter told me that I had parked my car in the wrong place on the Capitol grounds and leaving to park it elsewhere, heard no more of the conversation. As reached my car MT. Smith hailed me from the Capitol steps and joining me we drove away together.
 I did not see MT. White again, nor did l see MT. Aldridge at all.
 MT. Whites statement that exhib- . tied campaign cards of MT. Cooper and MT. Gaillard is untrue.
 Mir. Whites statement that I said that Mir. Logan Martin had furnished me with these cards and was sending me to Coosa county is also untrue.
 No such matters as these were dis cussed and Mir. Logan Martins name was not mentioned. took no part in the conversation except to acknowl- edge the introduction of Mir. White.
 The statements made by Mir. White are 90 wholly untrue and lacking in foundation that they are nothing more or less than series of malicious faIsehoods.

FASC|STI OCCUPY
 FAMOUS PALACE Meeting Place of Genoa Con- ference Taken by Polit-
 icaI Party
By Associated Press

Genoa, August 6.--The famous San Giorgio palace. the symbol of Ge- noa's ancient glory and the meeting place of the Genoa conference, was occupied by Fascist after short but bloody fight last night, in which five 1 were killed.
 While the police and troops were engaged in maintaining order in the city. column of Fascist surrounded the palace and forced an entrance through the front door. Shots met them from the inside. but once inside the Fascist barricaded the doors and windows. Troops were rushed to the spot and aided by armored cars opened fire on the palace. It was with the greatest difficulty that police and troops succeeded in gaining the square before the palace. They were unable. however, to force an entrance and tonight the Fascist still hold the building. The casual ties were five dead and many wounded.
 The quarter where the palace is located is now practically in stage of siege. There Is fighting on the streets approaching it. The impor- tance of the occupation of the alace is designated by the fact that 1t is the headquarters for regulating the work of the port. This function the Fascist now claim to control and have issued proslamatiou to that effect. In 1t they say they will not tolerate that the work of the port should be entrusted to a socialist union. The proclamation has also called for a complete liberty of work to unionists and non -unioa wo-Fc-r alike.

POLICE REBUKED
 FOR USING CLUB
 TOFORCE ARREST
Wide Difference Shown Be- tween English and Ameri- can Custom of Enforc-
 ing Order and Arrests
By Associated Press

London, August 6.--London Police court judge rebuked policeman the other day for clubbing a prisoner over the head before arresting him. He did not censure the policeman for striking the man with his club. as he was violent, but for striking him over the head with 1t. He said the policeman ought to have hit him over the legs or on some other portion of his anatomy.
 Shows Difference
 The incident serves to illustrate a striking difference between the com parative freedom allowed the police in America in using force in subduing an obstreprous prisoner and the re- strictions that are sought to be im- posed upon them here under similar circumstances. And some other diff ferences, too.
 The man who was clubbed wal haled before the police court judge on the charge of assaulting a police man who was trying to get drunken woman to a police court.
 Attuckcu Dy <tV
 The policeman said he was sur rounded by a hostile crowd of about 200. Whitehead--the man who was clubb ed-struck him on the facs and body. In the struggle both fell to the ground and someone then kicked tho policeman in the ribs. The policeman drew his club and hit whitehead who was still showing fight. Just where could reach him easiest"
 In many of London's mean streets . hostile crowd batting policeman Is as common a sight as in the United States 1t is a rare one.
 Here the policemen carry "trun- cheon," which Is by no means such formidable weapon as the American poiiceman's club. And if he hits violent prisoner over the head with it when he ought to have hit him somewhere else. he is apt to get into trouble. Only when he is on very dangerous "beat" does he carry re- volver. The rough who assaults him ordinarily runs no risk whatever of getting shot and very little of get ting badly hurt. Therefore, he Is not afraid of a scrap" with the police man, especially when drunk.
 There is strong feeling here against armlng the police, and lt must be assumed that those wh. have authority over them know their own business best, and what is best for the protection of the police.

 STRIKE CALLED OFF
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 6.-Surface and elevated railway employees tonight voted s,o22 to 5.os6 to accept 1o- cent per hour slash in wages and return to work, ending six-day strike.
 Twenty minutes after the result of the vote was announced, the first ele- vated train was started out.
 As 1t swung down into the down town section, the train, which had made no stops, was greeted with a blare of horns from thousands of au- tomobiles and trucks, which, with the assistance of the steam roads, had been moving the city's millions. Other trains followed and in a few hours surface cars had resumed full schedule.

Statement Of Felix {. Smith, J.

The accompanying statement by MT. Byrd correctly sets out the facts re- lating to my conversation with MT. White during the three or four min- utes that MT. Byrd was present.
 MT. Whites statement that I had campaign cards of MT. Cooper is un- true. 1 did have campaign cards of MT. Gaillard, which his son, Mir. Pal mer Gaillard, Jr., classmate of mine at the University of Alabama, had sent me the week before, at the same time writing me to ask that do what 1 could in the interest of his father. My only interest in MT. Gaillard's can- didacy was my warm personal friend ship for my University classmate. I asked MT. White after MT. Byrd had left the room to say to MT. Gaillard that 1 thought Coosa county was all right for MT. Gaillard, except possibly as to Goodwater, which I thought doubtful.
 In the afternoon, about two houn after this conversation in tho office of the Public Service Commission, MT. White approached me in the lobby of the Exchange hotel and introduced mo to MT. Aldridge. MT. White asked me in MT. Aldridge's presence if 1t was not fact that had called at his office that morning and left for Mr. Gaillard message that Coosa county was safe for him, to which I replied, "Yes."
 I did not state in the presence of MT. Aldridge or MT. White that the cards which had, had been furnished me by MT. Logan Martin. 1 had not seen MT. Logan Martin for several months prior to this conversation. At no time in either conversation did I mention Mr. Logan Martins name.
 Nor did I state that MT. Byrd and had worked Coosa county in the in- terest of Messrs. Cooper and Gaillard.
 did not state that the task of get ting votes for Messrs. Cooper and Gaillard was made easier because of the fact that the people in Coosa county knew nothing of the various candidates.
 From the positions held by MT. White and MT. Aldridge I took them to be honest men. It did not occur to me when 1 was talking to them, both of whom held their offices by the joint votes of MT. Gaillard and his as- sociates, that it was necessary for me to conceal the fact that I was support ing MT. Gaillard. It never occurred to me that any two men should be so disloyal to the man to whom they partially owed their offices as to will fully and maliciously misrepresent the statements had made to them, and to add false, statements thereto.
 Their statements are wholly false except with reference to the message which left for Mir. Gaillard, which is set out above.

ALEPPO

Strategic geographical position
rather than imposing situation has
given Aleppo the prominent place il
holds today in barren, sand swept,
blazing under the summer sun
dreary and half submerged by the
winter rains. But it is the last great
station on the pathway to the East
and was the scene of the Turks final
resistance in the great war. Los
ing Aleppo, they lost their hold on
the Bagdad railway, the main artery
of the empire.
lu the tragedy of 1915, Aleppo
played an important role. 1t is a
Syrian rather than a Turkish city,
situated just south of Ciicia, one
of the strongholds of the Armenian
people. To Aleppo, therefore, the
Turks drove the vast crowds of ex-
lies, in a stupendous effort to rid
Turkey itself of the hated race. Up
on Aleppo, all the great caravans
eonverged, from the far high lands
of AnatOha and the western coast
cities, from the Armenian provinces
in the north. Through Aleppo they
passed on their eastward journey to
the desert land where the people
were left, starving and half naked,
waiting for death. 1t was the scene
OF tragic separations, of murders,
enslaving and terrible tOrture-a
land OF terror, incarnate. But when
the remnant of these stricken people
returned four years later they came
to an Aleppo controlled by British
authority. Huge barracks, original
ly Turkish, accommodated from five
to seven thousand of these refugees.
The relief committee took up the
work of caring for these crowded
exiles. Many We're sent north to
their homes, but thousands more
were continually pouring in. A large
tent orphanage provided for boys
who had no relatives; the hospitals
to thousands; Armenian
girls rescued from Arab tribes
found refuge in Aleppo, and the
enormous industrial department gave
hundreds of refugees a chance to
earn their bread.
Such, in brief, was the provision
made for the exiles in Aleppo. AS
quickly as possible, the committee
has been repatriating them 10 their
own villages, but our responsibility
does not end there. Many Of the
orphans who need continued care
have been sent TO centers in Cilicia,
but numbers are still centered near
by in Diarbekr under the care Of
The Aeppo committee.

SEED BED PRECAUTIONS
PREVENT LEAF DISEASES

Careful attention to seed, can
vasseses, soil and manure has been
emphasized by w. d. Valleau, plant
pathologist at the Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, in his
suggestions to Kentucky farmers
for the control Of serious tobacco
diseases during the coming year. All
efforts to control the diseases, in
cluding wildfire and angular leaf
spot, should start at the seed bed
since practically all outbreaks dur
ing the past years have been traced
to this source, according to Mr..
Valleau.
Seed treatment promises to be a
method of rendering seed disease
free before planting. The use Of
bichloride of mercury is recon-
mended in preference to formalde-
hyde as the latter resulted in some
injury last year when the seed was
not thoroughly washed. The seed
should be soaked for 10 minutes in
solution made up Of one part Of
bichloride and 1000 parts Of water
after which it should be washed
thoroughly in several changes of
clean water. Metal containers
should not be used in the soaking
process. The seed may be dried
quickly if placed in small cheese
cloth bag and swung around at an
arms length several times to remove
surplus water and then spread in
thin layer.
1t is important that seed be
treated even though it has been OBJ
tanned from a field which seemed to
be free from disease the previous
year, the suggestions point out.
Planting seed that is four or five
years old has not proved an advan-
tage in controlling the diseases.
In order to prevent infection, it is
N'AooDAO w uSo hcW CdNdSS. III
some cases where it is necessary to
use old canvass, this should be boil
ed for three hours or longer in or
der to destroy any disease present.
In all cases, the plant beds
should be shown on fresh land Care |
also should be taken to see that the
bed is not subject to drainage from
other places and especially fields
where infected tobacco grew the
previous year.
Using organic manures, such as
stable or chicken manure, may result
IN infection of the bed with the dis
eases. No harm should result from
using inorganic fertilizers.
