WARRIOR TIMBER IS
 GOOD PAPER SOURCE
Lumber Company Officials Are
 Impressed By Trip Down River

"Officials of the Great Southern Lumber company, and the various experts accompanying them, were much impressed with the timber re- sources of the Warrior river" said R. A. Brown, who accompanied w. H. Sullivan, president, and his official party on their survey trip down the river this week.
 They have a paper mill in mind" " said MT. Brown, and now that they have made a complete survey with full corps of timber and other special ists, they will be able to come to an exact analysis of the Warriors tim Der resources. Every feature of the timber on the banks of the Warrior was studied by experts. Reports Of the engineers and timber specialists will. 1 presume, be fully considered as the next step.
 Mir. Brown went on to say that the party was interested both in the short leaf pine and the spruce pine. Kraft" paper is now made by this company at it's paper mill in Opa- lousa, La. and that kind of mil would be as feasible for the Warrior, where there is sufficient short leaf pine available
 MT. Sullivan and his party were much surprised at the small use which Alabama shippers are making of the Warrior" said Mir. Brown. 1 They were greatly impressed with the Warrior as transportation agency and they marveled that we in Alabama had not developed more traffic"

RADIO OPERATIONS TO CHANGE WORLD,
 FRANCILL DECLARES
Demonstrations By Wireless Wizard Features Bill
 Showing At Lyric

Radio operations are destined to revolutioniZe the world, was the statement made by Maurice Francill, world famous radio expert, who opened Thursday matinee with a radio demonstration as an added at traction of the Lyric theatre for the last half of the week. Mir Francill was one of the best known of radio experts during the war, and since then has been making special radio tests. In his demonstrations at the Lyric. he is explaining mysteries sur rounding the radio, and it's use dur ing the World war. Mir. Franc.1l S main laboratories are at Marion, O., and are said to be the largest private research laboratories in America.
 MT. Francill in a discussion of the radio pointed out that there was no barrier for the radio wave which penetrated mountains as easily as the open air, and which at the same time was able to carry music and human voices proving it to be a carrier agency.
 we have learned that it is the same substance as light" MT. Fran Gill explained. the only difference being in the wave length and in ire quencies. Everyone knows of the QeaulY dCIlnIC pTOptItlcS ol SoiiC lights, and it may be possible in the future to load the raido wave with the deadliness of light and send it off into space. Imagine the results such a wave would produce when directed against an enemy fort or battleship in time of war. It not only would kill everybody instantly, but it would explode explosives, and start fires.
 MT. Francill also recounted experi- ments which were being made at present in the radio transmission of electric energy

name to be Hill Grocery Company, Incorporated" The motion was over ruled by Judge Mckinley.
 B. T. Roberts, formerly of Tampa, Fla, placed on the stand by the de- fense, said he had known Wells sev- eral years. Attempts to draw forth further testimony were blocked by the state.
 One phase of the testimony of a states witness, Andrew Davis, ne- gro, was disprLved by the defense. Davis claimed Wells with one other man came out to stand where he was employed on the Montgomery highway in Cadillac automobile and attempted to buy liquor on the aft ernoon before the robbery. The two men. the negro said, were imme- diately preceded by J. I. Cook. The defense introduced J. I. Cook and II. s. Shirley, county Jail warden, to prove that Cook had been in the county Jail since 6 o'clock in the morning on the day in question. Chief McDuff on S stand
 Chief Fred McDuff described the appearance of the Hill office on the morning of the robbery. He said that when arrested. clothing in Wells possession was slightly sprin- kied with what appeared to be ytggmen to muffle noise of the ex- plosion.

URGES CONVICT BE GIVEN FAIR CHANCE
Fort Tells Community Club Favor Abolishing Profit
 From Justice

Let us raise the standard of our conviets; let us take the idea or profit making out of our justice; let us give the convict chance to come back by an education. and restora- tion of character and citizenship. The convict lease system is wrong In principle and if the system Is wrong in principle 1t will inevitably work out wrong in justice"
 Thus spoke Judge William E. Fort of the criminal division of the CIT cult court Thursday afternoon when he addressed the members Of the Community club on the convict lease system at their regular weekly luncheon held in the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel. after which resolu- tions were adopted authorizing the president to appoint committee to further investigate. the convict lease system and make recommendations of their findings and report back to the club next Thursday.
 Judge Fort told of the system oi leasing convicts since the year oi 1863, and before slavery was abol- ished. He drew a mental picture ol the life of & convict from the time he was sentenced in the courts tc his release from prison; explained the various classes the prisoners were placed in according to their physical ability and endurance, on entering the prisons, and later leased out to work in mines, lumber camps, and turpentine plants; of how the wardens and deputy wardens, who are appointed by the governor, do not come in direct contact with the con vict, but instead there are guards employed by the various companies to which the convicts have been leased, who direct their labors. In many instances, he continued, they are required to do more than they are physically able. This shows that to say the state has control over con- victs is practically not true.
 Judge Fort then requested that the individual members of the Commit nity club write personal request to Governor Brandon, telling him what they wished and to demand the same from their state legislators. During his entire address the speaker em- pasized the fact that the chief con- sideration of the convict lease sys- tenn was profit making, and that within the next few years, Alabama state would be in disgrace in the eyes of her sister states.
 The meeting Thursday was pre- sided over by w. V. M. Robertson, Jr.. in the absence of w H. Sadler, Jr.. president, and a number of reports made by committees. Announcement was made at this time that the an nual Community club picnic would be held within the next two weeks at the Community club camp on the Warrior river, and that plans were now being formulated for this oc-
