In order to avoid interference with
the Y. NJ. C. A. drive, Birmingham
workers in the University of Ala
bama campaign will not begin their
general solicitation until Monday,
but beginning then the campaign
will be actively pressed with daily
luncheons of. the workers all OF next
week.
Solicitation of the University alum
nj is continuing and good reports are
expected at the luncheon of captains
and team workers Monday at
o'clock in the Tutwiler hotel ball
room. With s60,S35 repor ted in adj
vance subscriptions from SO Bir-
mingham alumni and more than 500
former students of the University
living in Birmingham, prospects are
bright for obtaining large portion
of Birmingham's quota from the
alumni subscriptions alone.
Eleven teams are at work in Bir-
mingham and a spirit of rivalry has
developed among them which will
reach its elimination in the daily
reports by teams at the luncheons
next week. Jelks Cabaniss, Bir
mingham campaign chairman, an
nounced Friday the appointment of
o. e. Gresham as vice chairman of
the team organization, and the noted
Bama football star will cooperate
with Frank Dominick, chairman of
organization, in directing the force
of workers.
Although the Birmingham alumni
are determined not only to raise
their quota but to do 1t quickly, the
postponement of the general solicit
tation until Monday was decided
upon because of the civic Importance
of the Y. M. c. A. campaign. The
dates of the two campaigns over

Rev. B. M. Bridges
Gives Facts i'm
His Case

II Is doubtful If there has ever been
a medicine endorsed by SO many minis
tiers Of the Gospel as has Tanlac. In
deed, there Is scarcely q faith, creed
or denomination in all the land In
which one, or more, Of the ~clergymen
has not publicly expressed their in
debtedness to the Premier Preparation
for the benefits they have derived from
its use.
One Of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. Nj. Bridges,
a widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at M~ooresboro, N.
c., whose statement follows:
"Tanlac has given me q good appe-
tite, toned up my system and renewed
my strength in such a gratifying way
that l am glad to recommend 1t to any
one who Is in a rundown condition.
For ten years past i have had such
a severe case Of indigestion that /
could not find anything to eat that
agreed with me. Finally l became
very nervous and could get but very
little sleep or rest.
1T seems that took nearly every
thing trying to get myself right, but
nothing helped me until / ran across
Tanlac. My nerves are so much better
now that my sleep is sound and re-
freshing. l enjoy my meals and have
also gained weight. l can say from
experience that Tanlac is a splendid
medicine and tonic, for it has built
me up wonderfully"

<IDNAPER is GIVEN A
FORTY-YEAR PRISON TERM
Prisoner Is Started at Once for the
State Penitentiary in Upper
Michigan.

Muskegon, Mich.-With a speed that
,et a record even for Michigan, where
they send them away" the case OF
Raymond Eugene Wilson, Al years
Did, self confessed kidnaper and
criminal violator Of pretty Resale
Shanty, 1~2-year-old aquatic Venus OF
his city, was disposed Of in the
criminal branch Of the circuit court
acre.
Wilson was given 40 years in the
penitetnitiary. He was captured in
Grand Rapids at 6 o'clock Wednesday
night. He confessed at 2:3O Thurs
day morning. At 10 in the morning
he was arraigned. Judge John Van
derwerp passed sentence upon him at
2 Thursday afternoon, and at $3.50 he
was on his way in the custody Of Off
GERS to the Michigan state prison, in
the upper peninsula, at Marquette.
Several minutes Of loud applause
from a courtroom crowded to the
doors with solemn eyed, sober faced
men was the only demonstration when
Judge Vanderwerp pronounced the
40 years, with the recommendation
of the court in this case that the max
imum sentence be imposed"
1t was believed from the general
grim demeanor Of the men in the
court that q more violent demonstra-
ton, possibly a physical attack upon
the prisoner, had been planned, but
this was prevented by quick work by
Chief Of Police Peter Hansen and
Sheriff William o. Mathews.
Wilson was stoical through it all,
He murmered NJ complaint and he
held his head high as he walked
at the station he reminded those who
saw him of a detCsted and friendless
dog out of whom the spirit had been
beaten. He appeared b~ewildered and
dazed at the s~uddenness of what has
happened to him. Forty eight hours
ago he was as free as the air about
him; tonight he sleeps in the deer
shadows at Marquette-and 40 years
to go.
While Wilson is on his way tC
prison Rosalie is reported still to be
in a feverish and delirious condition
at the home of Fred link, in Dublin
Mich, near which village she was
found wandering, almost clothesless
dazed and incoherent. Her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. George Shanty
30S Southern avenue, have gone
there with a police matron to bring
her back home.
Wilson confessed that he kidnapped
the little swimming girl just as she
came from Sunday school here las
Sunday morning; that he kept her fol
two days with him, attacked her and
left her to wander alone when she raj
away from him at dusk Monday
night.
No effort was made to have the
little girl tell the story of her two
days wanderings through the fores,
after she was released by her alb
ductor.
