DEATHOF SENTRY
 CHARGED T0NEGR0
Faces Trial Tuesday For AL leged Staying of Soldier
 in 1918

Anniston, November 4.-victor Purey of Boston will be placed on trial in the United States district court here before Judge William |. Grubb and a jury next Tuesday on a charge of staying Orland Carey of Connecticut, a sentry at Camp Me- Clellan, on April 25. 1918, according to the schedule of the court.
 Purey will be defended by Willard P. Lombard of Boston, a former mem Der of the Massachusetts legisla- ture and well-known attorney of that state. District Attorney Kennamer and two assistants will prosecute the case of the government.
 Purey and three other soldiers. who were military prisoners, escaped from the camp, 1t Is alleged, leaving Sem tinel Carey. who was guarding them, dead from a blow on the head. It was claimed by the three other sol- diers who were arrested soon after the killing that it was only their in- tention to knock the sentinel un- conscious and not to kill him, but in the excitement the sentinel was un- intentionally struck too hard.
 One of the men is now serving a term at the Atlanta federal prison, having been found guilty of man slaughter.
 It was stated that Purey's defense will be that the guilty man has been caught and the case is closed. so far as he is concerned. It Is understood that each man involved planes the fatal blow on another. Purey was ar rested last June in Boston, four years after the killing at the camp.
 Purey ts said by his attorneys to be the sole support of an aged mother, who Is living in poverty at Boston. Purey is 22 years old.

FEWER FATALITIES
 OCCUR IN 1921 IN MINERAL INDUSTRY
Accidents During Year Result ed in Death of 2,367 Men, Against 2,984
 in 1921

Washington. D. C., November A. Especial. )-Accident in all branches of the mineral industry in the United States, including coal mines, metal mines, quarries, coke ovens and metallurgical plants (except iron blast furnaces) resulted Tn the death of 2,367 men in 1921, according to figures compiled by the bureau of in the same industries amounted to 29S4. Non-fatai injuries at coal mines are not reported to the bureau of mines; for all other mines, guar ries, etc, the number of employees in jured was 35,416. as against 56,O57 In 1920.
 Accidents at coal mines killed 1915 men, as compared with 2,271 in 1920; at metal mines 2So men were killed and 1S,604 injured. as against 425 killed and 32,562 Injured the year be- fore; at stone quarries 120 men were killed and 10.465 injured, as compared with ITS killed and 11,217 injured in 1920
 While these figures indicate a re- auction in fatal and non-fatal acci- dents as compared with 1920, there was an increase in the number of &C., cidents per thousand men employed. The fatality rate for all workings combined was 3.59 per thousand em- ployes Con a standard basis of 300 working days per year) as against S.29 the year before; while the in- jury rate for all plants (except coal mines) was 192.69 per thousand en- ployes as compared with 184.12 in 1920.
 Operate Part Time
 The increase in accident rates per thousand men employed may be largely attributed to the part-time operation which prevailed in the min ing industry in 1921, since periods of idleness or intermittent work are generally followed by an increase in accidents.
 The total shifts worked by all em- ployes was 197,560,952, a loss of about 27 per cent from the preceding year. Each employe averaged only 1S9 working days as compared with 249 in 1920. Coal mine employees aver aged only 17S days, loss of 57 days per man as compared with 1920; em- ployes at iron mines worked 210 days. loss of s5 days each; copper mine employees averaged PA days, a loss of 73 days each; employees at stone quarries averaged 233 days. a loss of 34 days per man.

Pr esident, who is regarded as 8 great "harmoDizer." They know that the President regards the republican tent as one large enough to cover all re- publicans, however they might dis agree among themselves. They point to the fact that despite the radical uprising in the west, the republican party holds firm, and will not lose either house of Congress. In the ranks at present are such contrasts as Lynn J. Frazier, the ex-non- partisan league governor of North Dakota, and Elihu Root: Col. Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa, and Charles Evans Hughes; James E. Watson and Albert J. Beveridge, enemies of 20 years standing; Herbert Hoover and Hiram Johnson; Robert Nj. LaFol- lette and Harry M. Daugherty. The list si interminable.
 That the revolving republican wheel has not exploded from centri- fugal force, is said to be due to the "harmonizing" effect of the chief ex- ecutive. That he will continue to soft soap" discordant elements, is the hope Of republican strategists who have seen split" and know the effect of dynamic discord
 G. 0. P. Astride Dynamite
 iHciS z are three ulSCOFQdnl eie- ments in the republican party. In New York, Governor Miller, with the White House looming before his eyes, runs without reference to or consideration of Harding In Indiana. Beveridge, anti-Harding, Is running as a supporter of the administration in order to hold the "standpat" ele- ment under the banner of Senator Watson. In Iowa, Brookhart is run ming in open defiance of the Presi- dent and his administration.
 The prediction is that the dis cordant elements will sharply divide from the "standpat" element, or gain control of the party from the stand pat" element. When the Senate is again in session, the progressives. themselves. It will then be demon strated whether the President and his ardent followers will suffer the domination of the radicals or defy them and thus endanger party solidarity.
 The situation, as it affects both great parties, is admittedly full If dynamite. Master minds will be re- quired to weld all factions into a militant and compact and enthusi- astic organization. The next two years will be expended in such work.
 Watching Henry Ford
 In the meantime, Henry Ford, with his radical ideas, his inordinate wealth, his perfect personal organ ization in every section of the coun- try, and his great desire to be Pres ident of the United States. looms ominous of peril.
 It is understood now that Ford is endeavoring to acquire republican following. When anxious to enter the Senate, he ran in both the re- publican and democratic primaries In the present campaign, he has not shown his hand either In supporting senatorial candidate or contribut- ing to a campaign fund.
 Ford has a rampant following ot western farmers and labor leaders This following Is dissatisfied with both great parties. If 1t cannot cap ture either, it is indicated that il would follow Ford, with his capital under an independent banner. There Is the situation just as the congressional campaigns come to conclusion.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
 TOWORK FORN NEAR
 EAST RELIEF FUND
Spirit of Cooperation in Evi- dence in Campaign For Re- lief of Starving Thou
 sands of Europe

Birmingham Sunday school will today take an active part in the campaign now being conducted throughout the United States in be- half of the starving thousands of Europe, when envelopes will be dis quest that they be returned Sunday, November 12, with contributions.
 With cooperation of the Sunday schools in the Near East campaign leaders in the work here say that practically every organization-com mercial, religious and civic--is now aligned in a united effort to save hundreds of helpless women and children from starvation through the winter months.
 No campaign ever conducted in Birmingham, 1t was stated, has com manded such universal support as that which is being given the Near East appeal.
 Offers of support from the leading churchmen of Birmingham were quickly followed by proffers of aid from civic and commercial organiza- tions. This cooperation soon de- veloped spirit of universal sym pathy throughout the city which re- suited in the formation of an exec utive committee, representing every commercial, civic and religious body in Birmingham, which shouldered the responsibility of promoting the ap- peal.
 The burning of Smyrna, which added more than half million to the list of those dependent upon Ameri- can charity according to Near East workers. has no doubt increased the sympathy for the victims of the Turks throughout the United States. Christians everywhere in America. 1t is said. have responded most mag unanimously to the appeal and as a result heavy cargoes of food supplies are leaving American ports almost daily for the Near East .-

OHIO SITUATION BOTHERS LEADERS '
 OF REPUBLICANS
Democrats Hope to Capture Senatorial Seats in New
 Jersey and New York. Both Uneasy
By ROBERT T. SMALL eeiaz Correspondent of Tho Ago Herald lCarxrfnht la22. hH The AwA- HAraldl

Special Correspondant of The Ago Herald
 (Cepyright ls22. by The Age-Heraldi
 Washington. November 4.-Hallo- ween has left its spell over the na- tional headquarters of the two great poliaical parties. Both republicans and democrats are seeing things at night. John T. Adams. the distin- guished and much respected chair man of the republican national com mittee, says the democrats are whistling to keep up their courage. Anyone standing outside MT. Adams office will also hear quite bit of whist1ing.
 The truth is that with the election but two days away. neither repub- licans nor democrats have the slightest idea as to just what Is going to happen on Tuesday. The elections as a whole present a puzzle that Is difficult to solve. Technically, the situation throughout the coun- try would be described by profess sional politicians as "spotty." This means that as soon as the repub- licans get one situation seemingly where else. It means also that the democrats are in pretty much the same boat.
 There is this difference, however, The democrats feel that after what happened to them in 1920 any change in the political situation is bound to help them some. The republicans arc absolutely confident that they will retain control of both branches of Congress by what they term the nor nal republican majorities," but they frankly fear the psychological effect of the results in some of the states They know that any vote seemingly adverse to the administra- tion will be taken up by the demo- crats and virtually start the ball rolling for the 1924 presidential campaign.
 Ohio Doubtful
 The republicans are particularly jumpy over the situation in Ohio. They know there is going to be a terrific slump from the 100000 ma jority run up by President Harding two years ago. Some are inwardly fearful that this unprecedented ma jority may be turned completely over and that Senator Pomerene, the democrat, will be reelected over the republican aspirant. Representative Simeon D. Fess.
 Some of the "whistlers" at repub- lican headquarters will tell you that Ohio is absolutely safe. The dearest wish of their life is that they could make themselves believe what they are telling others. From the repub- lican point of view Ohio simply has got to be safe for the grand old party. The campaign there was wisely or foolishly, as the case may prove, made on the platform of Stand by the President" Now if the republicans do not stand by the Pres ident to the extent of sending a re- publican to the Senate it will be

NOT CHICKS TIME TO DIE

verbal Tammy.

My garden has flowers and fruits in
IL; my neighbor keeps chickens but I
do more than my share in keeping
those hens plump. My son has an air
gun, and one evening recently a fowl
foolishly met one Of the shots half
way. We were anxious to dispose Of
her; we could not dream of eating
her ourselves, so our neighbOr on the
other side promised to help us out by
lifting the chicken after dark. That
night we watched for his coming. and
growing impatient, l started out to
help. There was my neighbor quarter
ing the ground without finding the
bird; he had a flashlight and l Ian
tern.
Across the fence came the friendly
inquiry, Anything you are looking

Like guilty conspirators we looked
up to find the missing chicken safe in
her arms. The hen evidently had re-
covered sufficiently to find her way
home. We doused our gllms and
scuttled for beds.-EXchange

MADE WISE CHOICE OF WIFE
John Browns HeIpmate Apparently
Ideal Woman for a Man of His
Stern Disposition.

John Brown, whose body later on
lay "a-moldering in the grave" once
described the lady who afterwards be-
came his wife as a remarkably plain
but neat, Industrious and economical
girl" These latter virtues seem to
have atOned for her want of physical
charm, for he and Dianthe Lusk were
married when she was nineteen and
he was only twenty.
Dianthe was a strOng-minded wom-
an, but she made John an excellent
wife, and their twelve years of mar
ried life-terminated by her early
death-were most happy. He was
man of decided and violent DISPOSE
ton, and his wife is said TO have pos
sessed the faculty of getting him to
do as she wished and causing him to
believe that it was his idea all along.
She died in 1882, twelve years after
their marriage and just after the birth
of their seventh child.

Buttons Long in Use

John j. Jones, waiter in the din

asked the other day for new set Of
brass buttons to use with his white
duck coat. When he turned in his
old buttons in exchange it was no
ticed that they were not only I'M
usually bright but also that much
polishing and use had almost worn
off the lettering and that the front
of each button was actually worn
through in one or more places. Asked
how long he had worn the buttons,
he replied: about twenty-nlne
years." They had been issued to him
in 1892 by Maj. j F. Trout, then SUI

TWO RICH PRINTERS BULLS"
Postmaster General Has Preserved
Specimens of Work Of the
"lnspred Composition"

Postmaster General Work has two
choice specimens of typographical
errors which he keeps on his desk
handy to show TO the discriminating.
Like most everybody else in the world.
Doctor Work appreciates that sort of
thing.
Both Of these "bulls" occurred In
connection with printed portraits of
Doctor Work when he was appointed
to the highest position in the postal
service. One of them bears the title !:
"Dr. Herbert Work, physician to the
pope. Was with the late pope in his
last Illness"
Evidently the inscriptions of the
two photographs got mixed up, and
nobody caught the error, on account
of the title of doctor OF both physi-
clans.
The other sample was a picture Of
In, postmaster general, and an in
scription which should have read
Colorado Man Appointed Postmaster
General"
But it got in like this: "Colored
