THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryau's Paper.


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation of 100, 600 copies, record
probably never equaled in history Of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper fieldfor a national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
Of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review Of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular arsubscription
price Is S1.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
$1.50. The regular subscription price oi
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.

A deplorable condition of affairs
exist in Oklahoma City, it being

INVESTIGATING AN
OLD MURDER CASE
NEW THEORY OF KILLING OF
oRANEY ON MAY 3, 1eo2-THE
CORONER WILL PROBABLY Or
DER AN ARREST.

Coroner Paris is now working on the
Graney murder case and is making an
other investigation into what caused
Graneys death on May 3. 1902. So far
no one has been apprehended but it is
stated there will be an arrest within the
next few days.
Coroner Paris began work on the case
Monday and will examine more witnesses
at his office this morning.
d. P. Graney was boilerworker, and
the first theory was that he was held up
robbed and killed.
The theory is now advanced that while
he was walking along Nineteenth street,
near Tenth alley. he met man who
was accompanied by his wife, and that
by some accident he brushed against her.
Her husband, thinking the man was a
negro, fired and Graney fell.
A reward of 800 was offered by the
coroners office for the identification of
the man who did the shooting
1t is understood that Graney's relatives
are very wealthy and own considerable
real estate in Indianapolis where he lived
before coming to Birmingham, and that
they are doing everything possible to
clear up the mystery surrounding his
death.

Mr.. Fidler INDICATED,

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId.
The Age Herald of April published an
article saying that the machinists of the
A. G. S. Ry. we're on a strike on account
of Mr.. o. w. Fidler, roundhouse fore
man, who they said had been unfair to
them during a recent strike by that or
ganlzation. Mr. Fidler being a member of
Alabama Great Southern Division No. 436
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the members of that order appointed a
committee to investigate the charges. and
dence from the officials Of the road and
what evidence the machinists could give,
were unable to see where he was I'M
fair to organized labor, and Alabama
Great Southern Division No 4S6, Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, clearly
indicates Mr. Fidler from any such
charges.
The machinists have also had an ar
ticle published in their official maya
zine, an article stating that the Alabama
Great Southern railway discharged Mr..
Fider to relieve this strike, which is not
true. as Mr.. Fidler resigned of his own
accord, and the company would have re-
tanned him until this day had he pre-
ferred to stay in that capacity, and we
think they did both the railroad company
and Mr.. Fidler an injustice by their ac-
ton. Mr.. Fidler is now employed as To-
comotive engineer on that road and a
member in good standing in Division 1856,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

the Elks, were witnessed by large
crowd, including a number of women APP
