Treasurer Of Conservative Party
 Left Funds Tied Up

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The will of the old Earl of Farquhar has been found to contain a sort of codicil saying, .try and get it."
 The old Earl was treasurer of the conservative party. He was still in volved in wrangle with the party over the funds entrusted to him when death gavelled him out of order. and passed the dispute along to the courts, where the party has brought an action against the estate.
 This defers for long time, perhaps forever, the distribution of great gifts to King George, Queen Mary, the Prince of Wales and Princess Arthur of Connaught, all of whom were named as heirs.

PRISON RECORD
 SHOWS CRIME IS ON AN INCREASE

Is law violation growing in Bir- mingham?
 Apparently so, if the city jail dockets mean anything.
 A new docket was opened by Warden Sutton early Sunday as the recording of the 9,990th name filled the old one.
 The latter was begun on, June 25, averaging 42 arrests a day for 237 days.
 This is against record of 257 days to fill the previous book.
 By a coincidence the first charge entered on the new docket was drunk" similar to the initial arrest of June 25.
 The old docket was closed Sunday morning with violation of the li- quor law accusation.
