SEN. MORGAN REPLY
Says Governor Johnson Can
not Deny His Charge.
Declares the Governor Owned Large Amount
of Stock in a Corporation That Was
Driven From Alabama,

birmingham, Ala, Dec. Ex-senator
John 7. Morgan has replied to the open
letter of Governor Johnston, charging
that certain indirect statements concern
ing his UohnstOns) connection with the
University land scandal upon the floor of
the United States Senate were untrue.
The reply severely criticises athe Gov
ernor's action in connection with the sale
of valuable mineral lands of the State
University lands to the Sloss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron Company. 1t continues
i'll part:
You have attempted to put my state
ment in false and garbled way. so that
You could make denial of what YOU
either invented or profess to have heard
that | have said in the Senate, knowing
that you could not deny what 4 said"
After quoting from the record the
words used i'm reference to all Alabama
corporations seeking protection of the
laws of New Jersey, Senator Morgan con-
tinues:
The charge is distinct and unambigu-
olts that you owned or had owned large
amount of stock i'll am Alabama corpora
tion, one of several that had sold their
property of every kind to the New Jer-
sey company and that this Alabama COR
poration leads the procession in Il mon
ster monopoly, that had to leave Alabama
to find nome and shelter in New Jersey.
You cannot misunderstood this charge.
nor can any honest man mistake it, And
us / stated it inn the Senate, you know
that it is strictly true"
In conclusion Senator Morgan says:
You doubtless feel very strong in Your
supposed ability to rule the State by the
machinery in your hands: but very recent
lessons should admonish you that yoa
are also subject to the power of the laws,
State and Federal, and you cannot press
YOUR defiant contempt of the rights of the
State and the people TO complete sue

HAS FILED SUIT
Archie McVicar Sues Missouri
Pacific Railway.
SETS DAMAGES AT $4,000
Injuries Received in Accident
Caused by Escaping Steam.

Attorneys for Archie McVicar have FLED
papers in the district court, bringing suit
in the sum of $500 against the Missouri
Pacific railroad for damages sustained III
an accident which occurred some time ago
at Hutchinson, Kan.
The petition alleges that the railroad
company unnecessarily let steam escape
from an engine, which came in contact
with a team of horses attached to car
rage in which Mr.. McVicar had inst
reached the depot, causing them to run
away, in which Mr.. McVicar was very
badly injured.
Mr.. McVicar was at Hutchinson the day
Of the accident, attending an annual meet
ing of the Kansas Pharmaceutical assoc.a-
ton and had just arrived at the depot IN
4 carriage when the steam from the engine
was let off, frightening the horses. The
driver of the team had got down off his
seat. but still retained the lines IN bis
hand, but when the horses dashed of ne

Vicar, in an attempt 10 save his LIE,
jumped from the carriage and in doing 50
was knocked down under the wheels. He
was picked up unconscious and carried 10 a
hotel, where it was found he had received
a severe conclusion of the brain. The
doctors attended him constantly for many
days and at one time his life WIS despaired
of. McVicar recovered sufficiently to be
brought to his home, where he was con-
fined for some time. His escape from
death was considered by the physicians as
miraculous.

SPROUTS FROM THE LEAF
Consul Aynie RcpOrls Strange Plant
to the state Department.

Washington, Feb 3.-Consul Ayme at
Guadalupe, has transmitted an interesting
report to the state department on Pc
culiar plant growing wild on the island.
He says that if any leaf be broken from
it and pinned to the wall in a warm room
each of the angles in the undulations of
the leaf begins to throw out a number of
white, thread-like roots. Next tiny plant
begins to sprout, and in two or three
weeks attains height of two or more
inches. When the leaf begins TO shrivel,
which may take from six weeks to three
months, the young plants may be cut
with scissors and put in the ground
where they rapidly attain full size.
When cultivated they attain a growth
of four feet and produce graceful red and
yellow flowers.
The consul expresses the belief that It
will make a desirable dollhouse or garden
flower. His report, with specimens Of the
leaves, has been submitted to the agri-
cultural department
