POLITICS MAY BE CAUSE
Deposed Attorney Believed to
Be a Hanna Man.
Suggested That His Dismissal May
Have Resulted from This Fact.
President Roosevelt Favors
Negroes Elimination.

Washington, Sept. 12.-(Special. )-Of-
ficials of the Department of Justice today
declined to say anything about the re-
moval of United States District Attorney
Vaughan. Mr.. Vaughan had been re-
moved. they said, and the charge against
him was neglect of duty. Further than
that they could not or would not go.
AS was to be expected under the cir
cumstances, the scramble for the place
thus made vacant has already commenced
and large number of applications will
no doubt be filed within the next few
days. So far as can be learned here
tqaight the only man who has already
formally applied for the appointment is
Oscar r. HundIey of Huntsville. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Hundley and his friends
will make a determined effort to land the
job.
Judge r. r. Roulhac of Sheffield is also
understood to be in the race.
Something Hidden.
The impression that something beyond
neglect of duty is responsible for Mr.
Vaughan's dismissal continues to prevail
here. Whether or not there are any
tangible reasons for such an opinion
there are many among those who In
terested themselves in the matter Wnc
believe that the Presidents action was
Influenced to a considerable extent by
the fact that Vaughan is said to be If
favor of Hanna as against Roosevelt and
that he has been doing more or less
talking along this line in Alabama.
hat haeT
taking very CONSPICUOUS part in partisan
politics and that this may have had
something to do with the matter
Little credence Is given here to the
run1or that the President was exercised
hsoause Of yaughan's activity in keeping
negro Republicans of Alabama ont OF the
State Convention of the party.
Roosevelt Against Negro.
It is pointed out that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
himself in favor of getting rid OF the
negro as far as possible and that there
fore he would hardly feel disposed to
punish anyone for acting along these
lines.
On the whole a considerable amount OF
mystery surrounds the case. and while
this would probably be cleared up under
ordinary circumstances, the absence OF
so many officials at the present time
strengthens the belief that if the inside
facts in the case are made public they
will not come from official sources here.
Nothing could be learned today regard
ing the report that other federal office
holders In Alabama are to be removed
because of their active participation in
the movement to eliminate the negro from
Republican politics. If anything of this
sort is contemplated the officials here
saw they know nothing of it.

WHAT OF THE BOYS.

1t is evident that not all the van
dalism in the city is confined to the
West End Last night some poor
misguided, unregenerate deciples of
Beelzebub dug up and destroyed a
plants which Mrs. J. l.. Edwards with
much care and patience had kept
through he winter. What deviltry
could possess either boys or men to
commit such depreciation is past find
ing out. There ought to be someway
of apprehending such vandals and
furnishing them for their lawlessness.
Another outrage which there should
be means of stopping is the use of
vulgar language by the boys on the
street. Go out of town any evening
after dark, in any direction, for a
distance of five or six blocks, and it is
almost impossible to avoid hearing
the most bloodcurdling profanity and
the most shockingly vulgar language,
by boys from six to sixteen years of
age.
- The boys themselves are not so
much to blame altho' many of them
are old enough to know better. But
the responsibility lies with the
children who receive their training in
the street schools? What hope is
there for the future of the young boy
who nightly meets with other and
older boys under cover of bridge or
in the shadow of tree, or better
still, inside the friendly walls of a
vacant house, and has poured into his
receptive young mind things unspeak-
able and knowledge calculated to cause
the veriest pervert and moral degene-
rate to blush?
Such is the school in which many
of the boys of Florence are being
trained.
And the result can only be null
tiplication of moral depravity, vice
and crime for the pupils, and shame
and disgrace for the parents.
By the way, dear reader, if you
have boy, where does he spend his
evenings?

With so many good oil wells being
opened in the Florence neighborhood
there ought presently to be an amount
of oil on hand large enough to again
allow its use as fuel. 1t is fine stuff
for engine and boilers, and if the
quantity of oil in the Arkansas valley
ever becomes large enough for fuel
purposes owners of stationary engines
will be happy. For long time oil
was used as fuel by the refining com
panies at Florence. A wall of fire
brick was built at the back part of
the fire box, against which spray of
crude oil was thrown, making very
hot and yet steady fire, doing away
with much of the labor of firemen and
with ashes and SCOT The oil fire made
IA loud roaring sound. One man easily
attended to four large boilers. But
the demand for the oil became such
that for IA year or more it has all been
directed to the refinery and coal has
been used for fuel. If oil should
become SO abundant in this neighbor-
hood rs to allow it's use for fuel, it
would among other good purposes
greatly encourage the brick making
industry. Pueblo Chieftain.
