THE FREE PASS SYSTEM.

The Alabama constitutional convention seems to be,
having about much trouble with the free pass
question with that of determining what shall con-
sttute the prerequisite the exercise of the right
vote AS the purpose of those who have raised it
seems to be to break public officials of the compi-
mentary transportation habit it might be worth their
while to note what has followed in Texas from agta-
ton similar to that in which they now engaged
The free pass has been something of a burning
issue in this State for several years State conven
tions have denounced ii as crying evil and finally
as climax to one of the most sensational scenes
ever presented upon the stage of State politics de
mand for the submission of an amendment to the
organic law that would eradicate it was formulated
Succeeding legislatures have considered many bills
prepared for the purpose OF putting stop to the
granting without price of the privilege OF riding upon
railroads and using the convenieuces furnished by
other quasi public corporations but in the end the out
come has been quite different from what the Alabama
constitution reyisers have in view In BRET as mat.

portation to members OF the legislature and other
public officials legalzed, while the prospect of
term in the penitenary is presented for the contem-
pation OF railroad officials to deter them from in

Nine-Hour Work Day and
Advance in Wages.

CINCINNATI, May 17.-That Cincinnati
is considered the center of the threatened
trouble between the machinists and their
employers, scheduled for Monday next. is
evident by the announcement that a num-
Der of prominent labor leaders will arrive
here Sunday to open headquarters. Teie-
graphic advices of the coming of the labor
leaders were received by the officers of the
local machinists' union to-day. Among
those who will arrive here Sunday are:
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; Frank Morri-
son. secretary of the American Federation
of Labor and one of the executive coun-
ell; John Lennon, treasurer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; James O'Connell
president of the International Association
of Machinists: Douglass Wilson, interna-
Union, and John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers of America. While
all of these leaders will not remain here.
IL is stated that President Gompers will
be left in charge and manage the strike in
Cincinnati and vicinity.
a secret meeting of the local machinists
was held at Workman's Hall tonight. but
nothing was given out for publication. 1t
was stated, however, by the machinists
that the strike Monday will effect every
shop in this city, whether a member of

firms have agreed to the nine-hour scale.
but refuse to grant the 12l2 per cent. in

VIEWS OF %AGUINALDO
HE THINKS THE CONSTITUTION
SHOULD FOLLOW TIL FLAG.
Declines to Express an Opinion, How.
Are Capable of Self-RuIe.

MANILA, May 1~z.-Aguinaldo. in an in
terview with a correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press to-day, expressed the opin-
ion that the government by the United
states of the Philippines, in order to be
unquestionably satisfactory, should con-
form strictly to the Constitution. Asked
whether he considered the Filipinos capable
OF exercising all the privileges guaranteed
by ii liberal Interpretation and application
of the Constitution. he declined to express
an opinion. Concerning the political and
commercial future of the archipelago, Agui-
naldo was reserved. He said it was hardly
time to discuss it, while in what he con-
sidered to be captivity. The military au-
thorities say he is kept guarded princi-
pally for his own protection. Aguinaldo
says that he knows of no enemies. needs
no protection and is willing TO go out I'M
attended if permitted to do so. He is
pleased with the municipal law comforting
full local elf-government. Concerning the
provincial law, by which the Governor only
is an elective officer, Aguinaldo was I'M
communicative
1t is not expected that AgClnaldo will
continue TO be prominent in Philippine
affairs, though his friends acknowledge his
exceptional ability for leadership.
Next week a detachment of infantry will
proceed TO the island of Samar. Squadrons
of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry will also
be sent to Samar.
Nine new American judges called on
General Macarthur to-day. The general
said their duties were of greater Importance
than those of any OF the officers who pre-
cede1 them. He commended the establish
ment of laws and a just judiciary ahead
of the coming commercial activity.

The strike at the foundry OF the Simmons
Manufacturing Company, at kenosha,
Wis. which had forced nearly five hundred

for an increase in wages.
The union machinists employed at the

said that he went In there a number Of
times, but never saw the body. The odor
from the body was noticed by the neigh
bors for several days. When the detectives
asked Stanley II he had not detected IL he
said he had. and had made inquiries about
IL. but thought IL came from a fish market
next door.
The detectives are In possession OF a pho

Thursday she went 10 Stanley's house and

down 10 the rooms Of Mrs. Higgins, the

could take the duplicate keys and go up

SHELBYVILLE. Ind, May I.-One or
the most sensational features in Shelby
county official circles came TO light this
morning in the filing of a suit by the Coun-
ty Commissioner in the relation of Henry
Gilman, county auditor. against ex-Treas-
urer J. Marsh Wilson. now in the Northern
Prison for filing false claims against the
county, and his bOndsmen for both terms.
The complaint asks for a Judgment Of $685.
$50. 20. whichsincludes all the money which
came into Treasurer Wilson's hands while
in office. with interest. Wilson is entitled to
considerable credits on that amount, but
there is in controversy the sum of about
$lil,O0e. 1t also alleges that Wilson loaned
$500 to ex-Treasurer Henry Nicer. and col
lected S2SS interest: that the funds Of the
county were left in the Farmers National
Bank and that he received 5000 interest on
the same: that he drew $1,000 from the
county for no service whatever: that he
drew $3.50 for work worth $25. that he paid
out money to John Smith and John Jones.
5000. for which no service was rendered the
county; which last two checks were given
to George NJ. Ray and cashed by him.
The third count reads as follows: THAT
Ch ~ hdy VI OClOUtis 1910 SdAu w nSOif
as treasurer of said county. drew a check
upon the funds of said county, and signed
the same by himself as treasurer, payable
10 the order of John Smith or bearer. eleven
hundred dollars (Sl,l00) and delivered the
same TO one George NJ. Ray: that said John
smith was q fictitious person; that on said
day said Wilson, as treasurer, drew a
check on the moneys belonging to Shelby
county, payable To John Jones or bearer,
for nine hundred dollars $500 and signed
said check as treasurer of said county, de-
ltVered the same TO one George Nj. Ray;
that said JOhn Jones was a fictitious person
and that al tine time said checks were
drawn by said Wilson, the money of the
county on which they were so drawn, was
deposited in the Farmers National Bank
OF Shelbyville, Ind; that said Shelby coun-
~ did not then owe said George NJ. Ray
or any other person said sum of money or
any part thereof; that said Ray presented
said checks to said bank and received
payments for them out Of the funds of said
county; that all of these things were then
known by said Wilson and that he did them
and caused them 10 be dom for the pur-
pose of defrauding Shelby ounty out of
said sums OF money"
The books Of the treasurer's office cover
ing the greater part of the period involved
in this suit against Wilson were stolen out
IF the Office just before the end of Will
sons term, and although every effort has
been made TO recover them they have not
been found. The general opinion is tina
they were destroyed.
