UNIVERSITY COULDN'T SCORE.
Louisiana's Team Work Too Much
 For Alabamians.

Tuscaloosa, Nov. 29.-(Special )-In the presence of about 200 faithful enthusiasts, who braved a slow. sleety drizzle, the University of Alabama closed its season this afternoon. going down in defeat before the team from the Louisiana State University. In the first half neither side scored, but in the second the tide turned and .when the game ended the score stood Il to in favor of the Louisiana team.
 The game began with Alabama on the defensive, but she soon took the ball on downs and gradually forced it to within two feet of the coveted goal. Here. how ever, Louisiana made a stonewall stand and the next two attempts on the part of the Alabamians failed to gain the re- quired distance.
 The first half ended with the ball in the visitors territory. neither having scored.
 Tn the second half, Louisiana, by ter rife line bucks. chiefly over left tackle, scored two touchdowns and one goal. Landry invariably made good gains when called on and easily placed the star game of the afternoon. Louisiana show ed better team work than the Varsity and to this fact is due their victory.
 For Alabama. Burns and Daniels did the best work.

The Financiers Statement.

New York. Nov. 2s.-The Financier this week says: The importan; feature or the ciated banks last week was the expan- sions of loans by 11.606 800 for the first time since the beginning of the month, the result of recently improved bank con- ditons. It is probable, however. that part of this expansion was due to special causes, such as the loaning of funds which had been accumulated preparatory to their disbursement for December in terest and dividends and also in antici- patton of payments on syndicate accounts early in the week The active and ris- Ing tendency of securities on the stock market doubtless also contributed to the increase in loans There was net loss of only $l.71l.OO0 in cash. specie being de creased 8. .O67, 800 and legal tender in creased S356 800, whereas the estimates based on the traceable movements dur ing the week indicated a loss of s. 432 300.
 Part of the discrepancy may be account ed for by the fact that on Friday there was a transfer through the sub-treasury to San Francisco cf S5O0OO and doubtless other large amounts were drawn from the

THE GRAND STATE OF IDAHO.
MT. Avery c. Moore Talks of His
 Gnpn1nonruaa1fh

Commonwealth.
 Perhaps there is no man of the Rocky Mountain territory better known to the journalists of the South and East than Avery c. Moore of Idaho. Ills name is familiar to those who have attended the annual gatherings of the National Edu- cational Association during recent years for MT Moore has always taken an act i've and prominent part in the delibera- tions of that body. He has been in Mont gomery for several days and wdll remain until the evening of December 4 He Is proud of the mountain country and, while he has little to say of himself, his many friends in Montgomery take delight in listening to his conversation, especially when his theme is Idaho, for MT. Moore will not concede that there is commonwealth in the sisterhood of States that can compare with Idaho-the Gem of the Mountains" One forgets about California when he talks about the incomparable climate of his State and he takes pardonable pride in its re- sources, its people and their golden flu ture.
 But The Advertiser man learned last evening that everything in Idaho Is not as Mir. Moore would have It. for he is a Democrat and the 5000 majority which Idaho gave the Republican ticket this year makes him feel that his State has gone wrong in one respect at least. MT. Moore came within a very few votes of being the Democratic nominee for Con- gress in the recent campaign, but, as the entire ticket was defeated, he does not deplore his failure to receive the nomination.
 "Yes, I firmly believe that Idaho will be found in the Democratic column two years hence" he said in response to an inquiry. Idaho has been Democratic for years and would be Democratic now had we not involved ourselves in an internal quarrel. The stay-at-home vote would have given our ticket a substantial ma jority, but as 1t is the State offieials and a majority of the county officials are Re- publican. And then the Legislature Is overwhelmingly Republican and that means a Republican United States Sena- tor Who is it likely to be? We'll there Is only one Republican in Idaho entitled to the honor and that is ex-Senator George L. Shoup, but whether his devo- ton to his party and the State will be rewarded is an open question. Person ally should like to see Senator Shoup elected for he is one Idaho politician who has not in the past adjusted his po- iitical convictions to the Idaho majori- ties and he has always served the people faithfully If the selection of a United States Senator means a matter of pub lie choice. Senator Shoup would without doubt receive a large majority of the Re- publication vote.
 "The dispatches state that a high off, cial in the Mormon church Is being men, tioned as a possible candidate for United States Senator from Utah. MT. Moore says that the ecclesiastical opposition to his election is not likely to influence the Senate fin deciding his eligibility. The Ad- vertiser was interested to get the expression from MT. Moore on

AFTER MEMBERS MOB
RATIFICATION OF LEE COUNTY
 LYNCHING ORDERED.
Governor Jelks Talks of Conduct of Shcrif-Says Those Who spir- ited Negro Away Must be
 Punished.

The men of Lee County, who are re. sponsible for the disappearance of Mon. roe Dawkins. a negro may yet face e court of justice for the part they took in the affair.
 Dawkins was supposed to be implicated iE the brutal murder of Mrs. Meadows about two months ago. for which crime Sam Harris. negro, was lynched.
 Governor Jelks immediately took the matter up with the officials charged with the duty of preserving law and order. He was promised the assistance and coop eration of Solicitor c. A. L. Sanford The determination of Governor Jelks tc probe the affair to the bottom and bring the guilty parties to justice remains un- shaken and the next grand jury of Lee County will investigate the disappear. ance of Dawxins.
 The facts of the disappearance of the negro are these:
 On Saturday following the lynching oi Sam Harris. in Lee County, charged with being responsible for the Meadows af. fair. the mob captured Dawkins. whl bore a fine reputation in the community and accused him of being implicated ir the crime. The negro pleaded with the mob to go with him to his white friends who would vouch for his character and prove his innocence. This. 1t Is repre-. sented, the mob refused to do. The last heard of the negro was near the Chewac' Ia lime works. while he was still in the hands of the mob. Since then no trace of him has been found. It is thought that the mob lynched him.
 The Governor. immediately upon beinf advised of the facts. wrote the Sheriff of Lee County, asking that investigation be earnestly made. sTo date. the Govern or has heard nothing from the sheriff.
 He also wrote the solicitor of the cir cult, MT. Sanford. who called at tn, Governors office yesterday and promised that he would investigate the case thor oughly before the next grand jury ant would endeavor to sift the matter to thu bottom. He stated, however, that he die not think Dawkins had been killed. The Governor says he is determined tt do the utmost in his power to prevent th' commission, and, If committed, to punisf the guilty persons.
 The negro Dawkins is said by prominen and respectable citizens of the county to have been a good negro, peaceable law abiding and of good department.
 The Governor said yesterday that whil' the Constitution required that he see th' laws were properly executed. he wal powerless unless the solicitor and th' sheriff did their whole duty.
 Governor Jelks said: If the new Con st:tution had given the Governor the pow CT to relieve sheriffs from the discharge of their duties and appoint their success sors, lynching would be broken up with out delay. In almost every case. he said sheriffs can prevent lynchings if they try to do so.

Grand Jury Report.

The grand jury which has been in ses- sion for the past two weeks made its re- port to Judge o. J. Semmes of the City Court tonight and returned 157 indict- ments after examining 556 witnesses. The grand jury found the bonds of the city officers and their books sufficient and in good condition. as well as the County jail. poor house and public schools. Ii reported having examined into the Go- deau and Mrs. Dickens murders. and while it heard a mass of circumstantial evidence, there was not enough on which to convict. It expresses the opinion that the majority of the offences attributed tc Jack the Slapper are the result of fam. fly rows.

is matter as Utah and Idaho

| this matter as Utah and Idaho are sister States. "Yes, it is not unlikely that the next Senator from
 Utah will be a Mormon.' he said. .'The most prominent candidate for that posi- tion is Reed Shoot, Mormon Apostle. There Is no good reason why he should not be elected and there are no grounds upon which he can be denied his seat if elected: Utah is a Republican State and the majority of the peopie of Utah are , Mormon. Under our form of government majorities govern and it cannot consis- tently be said that there should be excep- uons. l haven't anything against Apos- tie Shoots religion although I don't like his politics. But since the Ftderal Con- stitution does not prescribe a religious or political test for office holding the de- nominational agitation against Shoot can avail nothing. In my judgment a United States Senator interested in the spread of any religion, would be less a menace to our institutions than is the presence In the Senate of men interested in and primarily representing railroad and oth- CT corporations.
 The recent radical revision of numer- ous church creeds has radically affected that of the Mormons' continued MT. Moore, "and its application to the lives of its people has brought prosperity and contentment 10 them and 1t has made the deserts of Utah a veritable Garden of Eden. The doctrine of polygamy no longer finds favor with the Mormon peo- pie. It is as foreign to the Mormon creed as is the doctrine of damnation to modern theology"
 Are there any Mormons In Idaho." was asked.
 "Yes. thousands of them," replied Mir. Moore, 'and they are a credit to our State and the cause of religion. They practice the law of brotherhood to a de- gree not approached by any other church. They are frugal and they rem der material assistance to each other whenever it is needed. While they are cIannish it is because nearly half cen- tury of persecution has driven them to- gether and they are increasing rapidly. You know it has ever been true that re- ligion thrives upon persecution. The Mormons are a happy and generous peo- pie as a class and regret to say that they are more tolerant of our religion than we are of theirs"
 Mir. Moore Is member-elect of the Ida ho Legislature, which convenes early in January His tastes are decidedly liter ary and he is frequent contributor to the magazines.
