SAYS IOWA IS STILL
 LOYAL TO M'ADOO
Californian's State Manager
 Refutes Withdrawal Rumors

DIES MONIES, Iowa., Feb. 14.-Iowa is still loyal to William G. McAdoo, de- spite his $150,000 in fees from E. L. Doheny, the Californian's state man. ager, Clyde L. Herring, assured his national headquarters in a telegram Thursday.
 Herring's message refuted reports that Iowa democrats have decided to withdraw from the McAdoo campaign and support E. T. Meredith of this city, farm magazine publisher and last sec retary of agriculture under Woodrow Wilson, for the presidency.
 The message, addressed to Judge Da- vid Ladd Rockwell, McAdoo's campaign manager at Chicago, reads:
 "I have been advised of stories print ed yesterday relative to Meredith and his candidacy backed by Iowa demo- crats. know it is unnecessary to as- sure you that there is not word of truth in the story.
 However, I am sending this wire so that your records may show that not a single Iowa packer of McAdoo has wa. vered for a moment, and that no confer. ence of any kind was had during Mere dith's stay in Des Moines at which anything was mentioned other than nominating and electing William Gibbs McAdoo. Count on our being with you next Monday morning"

PREDICTS. ALABAMA + FAMINE IN TIMBER
Consuming Four Times As
 Much As Is Produced :"

AUBURN. Ala, Feb. 14.-(SpeciaI) A timber famine in Alabama will be witnessed by the present generation, I. F. Quinn, commissioner of conserva- tion, Montgomery, told students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute here to- day.
 Mir. Quinn was speaking of conserva- tion and discussed at length conser S tion problems of Alabama. He said that in 1909 there were 3S,OOO, COG, 900 board feet of pine timber in the state, and that the amount decreased to less than 25,00O, 100000 board feet last year. We are consuming timber over -Four times as fast as we are produc- ing it." he added.
 The speaker made sn appeal for the development of a hig oyster and sea food business neaF Mobile. He deplored the fact tha- rone of the seafoods con sumed in Birmingham come from Alabama, and that 97 per cent of those consumed in Montgomery and 90 per cent of those consumed in Mobile come from the. shores of other states.

SPEAKER PRAISES
 COUNTRY PASTOR
Fast Disappearing Type Lauded
 At Baptist Conference

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 14.-The much ridiculed and fast disappearing country sky-pilot came in for his share of praise at the closing of the Baptist Laymen's convention here Thursday.
 J. C. Hardy, of Belton, Tex, declared that sinners are multiplying rapidly in the rural districts and blamed tn. temerity of youthful ministers who fear to take religion to the young people, for it.
 D. F. Dreen, of Montgomery, Ala, sounded another indictment of the church when he declared that while Christians are praying earnestly for the souls in distant climes, the janitor of the church they attend usually is an unsaved sinner, his home surroundings are poor and his children growing up in ignorance of Jesus Christ.

BACK AMONG :. FRIENDS AFTER
 DEATH REPORT

R. l.. Hill, 2717 Wisconsin ave- nue, Washington, D. C., has return ed to Birmingham to make his home where he formerly. resided. Mir. Hill since leaving Birmingham, where he was employed at Parkers Drug store, has had the, unusual experience of being reported dead and returns finding many of his old friends firmly convinced that he died in Washington, October p, 1922. On that date Mir. Hill was in an auto mobile accident or rather he saved a little girl from being run down by an automobile and in doing so was himself badly injured The re- ports were sent out that he was fatally hurt and could not recover and these reports were published in Birmingham. He was in the hospi- tai sixteen days, but did recover and is now as we'll as ever, but he says it is a. peculiar feeling to move among people who thought him no longer in the land of the living.

]. JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 14.-(Spe- eial:)-By a vote of % to 16, the Senate today passed the House bill framed by Mir. Boone of Quitman, which is expected to abate a large majority of more than 1000 penalty and back tax suits filed by Stokes V. Roberston, former state revehde agent.

 The house committee on municipal ities reported favorably bill allow ing cities to establish zoning systems.
 The senate judiciary committee this morning favorably reported the Whit tington bill, placing the state revenue agent on a salary basis with an i'm portant amendment proposed by the author which seeks to safeguard the state against the possibility of enor- nous salaries being paid special depu- ties.
 The bill in its present form fixes the salary of the revenue agent at S5,- 900 per year and provides that the com pensation of no deputy shall exceed that sum.
 A 20 per cent commission basis for the office is retained but it is specifi- cally provided that the revenue agent shall pay his own salary out of what commissions are collected and also pay his deputy from the same source of revenue.

IN MEMORIAM
LEE MORRELL

Seth Lee, youngest child of Ruel
and Mary Morrell, was born Dec. Sth,
1861 at the MOrrell homestead at Hur-
ricane, Wis. His parents were among
the early staunch pioneers who built
out of the wilderness the splendid
farms that now comprise the Hurri-
cane neighborhood and gave to Grant
county many of her noblest sons and
daughters. Lee spent the first thirty
years of his life at the old home. At
ter the passing of his parents he
abandoned farming and spent several
years in travel. But having the kinS-
mans love for home and early ties he
eventually returned to locate in Lam
caster where he had resided for more
than thirty years. For sixteen years
he had made his home with his sister,
Mrs. Vernon Kinney, and his big warm
heart was a large factor in adding to
the comfort of the home. He was new
er confined to his room day by any
accident or illness. Since early spring
he had not been in his usual robust
health and had seemed to feel that
the zone swift CALI for him was not
far off. But he had no fear of "cros-
sing the Bar" and except for the
heightened walks, kept up his daily
routine. On the morning of August IA
he sat at the breakfast table with the
family, went about the house as usual
then lay down upon the couch and
from apparently natural sleep he pass
ed, at ten o'clock, into the Great Be
yond thus being granted the oft eX-
pressed wish that he might be spared
lingering illnass. How sweet thus to
die, from restful sleep passing into
eternal rest.
If all men lived the clean, upright,
law-abiding, God-fearing life for
which Lee Morrell daily aimed there
would be no need of peace confer
ence. A silent man, always reticent
among strangers he was not easily I'M
derstood He made no ostentatious
professions, but those who knew him
best found a mind well versed in good
literature and a memory stored with
the truths worth retaining. Among
the best of his many books, daily
read, the Bible was not the least. His
trust in fellow-man was spontaneous
and from his fair competence he had
been a generous giver until by falsity
and deception his faith was betrayed.
And even then his innate kindness
never failed Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote these words which those who
