duty. Seeing her on he verge of collapse, he ordered tn. she be not disturbed save by persns she was willing to talk with.
 Officers of the Twentysecond in fantry retained Judge Heny D. Mer- Till and his associate, C. WAleen to defend Mrs. Rickner.
 Upon the advice O. JudgeMerrill. Mrs. Rickner has declined 10 make a statement. It is doubtfm If she could now make a coherent state ment. Her eyes dreary, her Spres- sion unchanging, she sits star,g at the jail walls. Four years ofiep- rivation. four years of anxiety, our years of fight to keep little Mayln fed and clothed, then the findinl of the father, then this.
 "In our part of the country Ae never would have been allowed to | put in jail," was Lieutenant GreenN only comment as the muscles in his tanned cheeks tensed.
 Officers Body Unclaimed.
 Unclaimed, the body of Lieutenant Rickner is held at the undertaking rooms of Bagley & Stanley, in An niston. It Is thought he has rela- t:ves in Mancos, Col, but no reply to ges sent there has been re ceived so far. General E. G. Winans commander at Camp Mcclellan, sait that Col. R. J. Fleming of the Sixtf cavalry, executive officer of the camp had been instructed to call the board of inquiry. General Winans had only received the bare military notice O. the tragedy and had taken the neces sary steps as provided in military regulations. General Winans saic the Rickners were new arrivals a Camp Mcclellan and he had seen bu little of them. Lieutenant Ricknel seemed a very peasant officer, wa! a polo player, and he understood held in high esteem by his brother officers.
 General Winans had met Mrs Rickner. in fact, had given her a If in his car, with some others whom he had seen walking to one of the athletic contests. The board of in. quiry will make a report later.
 Other statements made about tho camp and city Saturday were tha Mrs. Rickner had no relatives; that she was originally from Douglas, Ariz., and that her husband refused to tell her the other womans name
 It was stated Saturday to The Age Herald staff correspondent that tho plea will be self defense and tenn porary insanity. In the town of An niston little notice is being taker of the case, save casual discussion and occasional comment about tn, woman and the shooting.
 Out at Camp Mcclellan the sub ject of the shooting seems taboo but it is evident there are two fac tions.
 The preliminary hearing has no been set by the authorities, but 1t f. expected to be held in about a weel or two.

Mes ser applied to the circuit court for writ of mandamus directing Foshee to issue an order of approval.

leans, Pensacola and Jack ksonville. Ninth-Is 1t not that Mobile needs more business men who will give a fair showing to the shipping interests that ship through that port. instead of more port facilities?
 Answer-The answer to tho eighth question also answers this. The busi- ness men of Mobile exercise no Juris- diction over the shipping passing through the port.
 Tenth--Does Mobile utilize fifty per cent of the present docks and wharves on an average during the year?
 Answer-Yes. Mobile does utilize fifty per cent and much more than that of the present docks and wharves on an average during the year. The present port facilities are used to their maximum capacity practically all of the time. It Is fre- ouently difficult to get berthing space for ships. If adequate facili- ties are provided as contemplated in the amendment, the business handled will increase many fold, to tho great advantage of every producer in this state.

EDlSON'S EXCEPTION

Mir. Edison says he Is no mathe- matician. Perhaps he Is even less a logician. In view of his expressed opinions of college training he must have reasoned Ike this: College men don't know much; therefore, will send my boy to college.
 His son. Theodore, has just been graduated from Ma assachusetts Insti- ute of Technology. MT. Edison makes his exception of M. I. IT.: There is some hope for men who come out of Boston tech. When they come out of Harvard, Yale and other colleges they leave all hope be- hind." Mir. Edison Is still dogmatic. Is he so certain that his son is bet ter qualified than Harvard and Yale graduates to land a job at East Or ange and to hold 1t?
 Why should he not embrace this rare opportunity of testing the mer- It's of M. I. T. by the ordeal of the famous questionnaire. now in the eighth series? If Theodore Edison can name an important city near the mouth of the Amazon. tell the ingre-

 Monroe Hills fear that a dlvining rod would be attracted by the gold teeth of the man he killed in Walker county is responsible for the life sentence, which he must serve as result of the decision of the supreme court Saturday afternoon, which af- firmed the judgment of the Tusca- loosa circuit court.
 Earl W. Truitt, deputy sheriff of Walker county. disappeared one day in 1919. For many months no trace was found of him. Searchers finally dug his body from a shallow grave not far from the point where he was last seen. Suspicion turned toward Monroe Hili and his sons, Ed. Hard and Clyde. They were arrested and Clyde confessed and told one of the strangest stories ever submitted to the supreme court in a record from trial court.
 Clyde Hill testified that his father, Monroe Hill and his sons, Ed. Hard years old. and other defendants sus- pected that Truitt had double crossed" them after agreeing to pro- tect them in the manufacture of moonshine liquor and furnished in formation which resulted in the de- struction of their still. He said ar rang were made to dispose of Truitt so he could not give further information.

SCAPA FLOW HULKS ARE TO BE SALVAGED
 AND THEN BE SOLD

 LONDON, Jaly 21.-The German fleet scuttled at Scarpa Flow in June, 1919, is to be raised, cut up, | and sold for junk. The admiralty I has signed a contract with a private company which has purchased part l.of the sunken ships. and will start operations at once to raise them. The company is said already to
 have found a market for the hulks.
 If the operations are successful, a contract will be signed for the re-
 maining section, which includes the | largest of the ships.
 The vessels sunk comprise ten I battleships, five battle cruisers and 29 detroyers, their total tonnage be- | ing about 416,000. The contract al. | ready agreed to covers 20 destroyers and one of the battle cruisers. The vessels were sunk by their
 crews opening all the sea-cocks and :, flooding the ships. This will, how ever. make the work of the salvers
 much easier, as it is planned to shut
 the cocks and pump the water out
 of the holds.
