Heartily Endorse,

Albertville Banner.
 We heartily endorse The Montgomery Advertisers course in making war on the so-called Alabama Press Excursions. We are also glad to see Colonel Falkner show that he realizes that the courtesies were abused and intimate that he does sociation expects to keep upon a respect able plane 1t will have to set down on all such excursions, and put a stop to this abuses of courtesies. It seriously reflects upon the entire State fraternity. The Advertiser is right and we believe the State press will support its position.

Looks Like a Good Graft.

Huntsville Herald.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has gone after J. Asa Rountree's scalp with a ven geance, It looks very much lise J. Asa has made a good graft out of the so-call- ed Press Association excursion business It is a surprise to us that he has deceived the Press Association as long as he has. He Is the self same man who got the State Fair Association in hole with the newspapers also.

Charges Have Substance.

Florence Times.
 For some years psst there has been much dissatisfaction relative to the man. agement of the Alabama Press Excur- sions. and the late trip to Canada has resulted In an explosion that will result in purifying the atmosphere. The Mont gon1ery Advertiser hss thrown upon the cium light, and has exposed what ap- pears to be gross imposition upon the railroads and also upon the members of
 For several years past the.annual ex- cursions have been made to Very distant points. and involved s.n expense that few or the editors of weekly papers could stand. As result few attended but a great crowd attended, anyhow of mer- chants. lawyers, doctors, etc. The Ad- vertiser claims it has found out the cause 1t makes the distinct charge that the Sec retary of the Association. MT J. A. Rountree of Birmingk am. has made large sums of money out of them-from the late Canadian excursion rot less than S3,5OO. The way this money was made, as fig ured by The Advertiser, was by charging each excursionist S29 for a Pullman berth. when the cost was only about S1O, leaving a margin for Mir. Rountree from the 1855 passengers of $3925. These are grave charges indeed. and they have sub stantial appearance of being true;
 It Is great scandal upon the Press of the State. It needs investigation. Noth- ing less should satipfy the editors and MT. Rountree. It Is up to MT. Rountree to ask full and searching investigation It Is due to him and to the Press Associa- tion. Nothing else will save the Associa- ton from deserved reproach.

The Fort Gaines Recorder gets 1t down very light when 1t says:
 The difference between Bryan and Cleveland talking is, the former only causes groan from every man, while the latter has an attentive hearing from every man.
 Some of Bryan's later utterances are notronly bad enough to cause groans. but they ought to make his closest friends feel as if they wanted to fling up."

His Friends Hope for the Best.

The Montgomery Advertiser makes the serious charge that Secretary Rountree of the Alabama Press Association made a charge of $29 sleeping car fare on the re- cent trip to Canada amounting In tile ag- gregate to something over 5000, when the sleeping car company say they only charged N440. MT. Rountree has asked that committee be appointed to inves- tigate. the matter and has so notified
 President Yerby. This is quite a serious charge, and MT. Rountree's friends hope that he may be able to set himself right.

Investigate Thoroughly.

 MT. Rountree has asked President Yerby to appoint a committee of three to investigate the matter, and 1t should be done at once and with no attempt to use a whitewaSh brush. Let the facts nc made known as they exist. If MT. Rountree has been dealing unfairly with the Associa- ton let it be known and the unfair deal ing stopped If he has been toting fairly the amende honorable should be made.

 We regret the fact, but the Alabama Press Assooiation-so called--is a thing that really doesn't represent the press of the State, and the legitimate newSp1pers are not at ali responsible for the acts of the recent meeting of dead beats at An niston. We admit that some newspapers men direct these meetings, but more to their shame that they be found giving prestige to such shams.

Like the old Justice of the Peace.

Athens Democrat.
 The Democrat publishes on this page. for the purpose of endorsement an editorial relative to the recent Canadian tour of the alleged Press Association of this State. which appeared in The Mont gomery Advertiser of last Sunday. The article in question may be considered rather severe, but we must confess that the figures appear to be against Mir. Rountree, who has been secretary of the Association for the past fifteen years. It is to be hoped, for his own good. that he can show that he did not use the excursion as a means by which to line his own pocket. The fact that he imposed a number of people who were not mem bers of the Association upon the railroads and the people of Canada is bad enough In the meantime. he has called for an in- vestigatlon by three members of the As- sociation and will be entitled to a suspen- sion of judgment for the present, but we suspect there are lot of newspaper men in Alabama who are in the position of the old justice of the peace who decided the case the night before 1t was tried be- fore him.

UNDER $4,000 BONDS
Davidson. Pierce, Cassidy and

to Face Same Accusations
When Jurors Assemble Again

Yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury.
after long and tedious session. re-
turned an Indictment agains, County
Clerk Albert B. Mahony on 3. charge of
felony. Contrary 10 expsctations, no in
dictments were issued against Cassidy.
Brady. Pierce or Davidson. though il
is probable that they will share the
fate Of Mahony when the jury meets
again.
It vas known that the indictment
against Mahony would surely be forth
coming. and when the jury remained in
session for so long 4 time the general
opinion prevailed that the others whose
names have been linked with the scan
Gals in the office Of the County Clerk
would certainly meet with the same
fate
But such vas not the stu alton. When
the Grand Jury had finished taking the
testimony Of John J. CASSIDY and
Frank French its members began their
consultation, which lasted for nearly
two hours. All the evidence presented
vas carefully weighed and the facts
we're considered. and then the secret
Indictment was returned before Presid-
ing Judge Murasky.
District Attorney Byington was clos
eted with the jury during the greater
part of the session. When the jury
finally decided to adjourn the tip was
passed around the lobbies that Mahony
had been indicted and that the others
were safe for few davs at least.
Finally, the massive doors Of the Jury
chamber were swung open and the
members Of the jury. followed by the
District Attorney and the clerk. SOL
emnly filed into The courtroom Of Judge
Muras1y. A. Sbarboro. the foreman.
delivered the indictment into the hands
u the Judge. and then the official
meeting came to an end.
John J. Cassidy. a clerk in the claims
department Of The United Railways
was the first witness called by the jury
during their extended session. His
testimony was. in fact. the only evil
dence Of Importance taken at the ses-
sion. and he was closeted with the
jurors for half an hour.
Cassidy told how he had secured a
position in the Office Of the County
clerk soon after the latter took his
seat, during the month Of January.
1902. Cassidy stated that he was to
have received a salary Of $50 a month
for his services.
he worked in the Office but month
and two days and left without having
received a cent for his labor. He
sNore that he had no further tran
ssctions with Mahony till the first OF
the present year. when he was made
clerk in the Office once more. and this
time his salary was fixed at 500 a
month.
Cassidy sv7ore that he received but
two slary warrants, one for S42 and
the other for $50. He alleges that there
is stflI balaIsce Of S76 due him for the
work he performed the last time he
was appointed TO a position in the Of
fee. He admitted that Mahony was
indebted 10 him for certain sums of
money. but stated that he performed
the work Of a regular clerk when he
was put on the salary roll by the
County Clerk.
Judge Murasky issued a bench war
rant for Mahony's arrest and fixed his
bail at $4,000.
