THE TURF SCHEME
CHARGES OF SERIOUS NATURE
BROUGHT AGAINST ATTORNEY
FORMERLY CONNECTED WITH
TURF WHILE IN P. o. DEPT.

Washington, March 14.-Serious charges
have been filed with President Roosevelt
against a practicing attorney at law who
formerly was an official of the postoffice
department The charges involve certain
prominent officials Of the department, but
they are of such a nature that at TINS
time the. cannot be disclosed.
The charges were placed in the hands
of the President by. T. c. Campbell, an
attorney of Cincinnati, representing one
or more of thu turf investment concerns
about which recently there has been much
scandal.
1t is understood that the burden of tn
charges is that the former officials in
volved received a large sum of money
from the turf investment concerns for
preparing an opinion declaring the
scheme of the investment companies TO
be legitimate, and for promise OF
certain protection to be given the COM
panies by officials.
When the matter was brought to the
Presidents attention, he regarded 1t as
SO serious that he ordered an immediate
and searching investigation to be made.
All of those cognizant of the facts are
extremely reticent but it is known that
the President has directed that no means
be left untried to develop the facts and
to punish the guilty, If the guilt of any
official is shown by the investigation.

ESTEEMED YOUNG
LADY PASSES AWAY
MISS MARY GRIFFIN DIED AT THE
DAVIS INFlRMARY LAST NIGHT.
WAS SOCIAL FAvoRlTE-FU-
NERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Miss Mary Griffin died at $40 o'clock
last night at the Davis innrmary. She
was cousin Of DIR. j. d. S. Davis and
of the late DR.. w. e. B. Davis. She was
left an orphan at an early age and was
tenderly reared by her aunt, Mrs. Georgia
Anna Davis.
She had always made her home with
her aunt. and since ner oeath few
years ago she continued to reside at the
Davis residence.
f.ss Griffin was educated in Washing
to-, and was a very cultivated and charm
ing young w6man.
Her death will be deeply deplored
among a large circle of friends and ar
quaintances. for she was not only a
great social favorlte, but had wide
acquaintance owing to the prominence of
her family connections.
Miss Griffin spent last summer at
Blount Springs at the Davis cottage, and
her heath began to fail in the early au-
tumn. All the fall she grew perceptibly
worse and was compelled to decline near
ly all her social invitations.
Against the advice of friends she acted
as bridesmaid in November to Miss
Nabb. now Mrs. Hubert Drennen. but she
was unable to attend but few of the
events given for the bride and the brides
maids. During the winter. accompanied
by the late DIR. Davis and a trained
nurse, Miss Griffin went to Florida, but
the trip failed to improve her wasting
health.
Miss Griffn's funeral will take place
from the Southside Baptist church Tues
day at II o'clock.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

The citizens of North Birmingham are
discussing the election to take place in

Birmingham is now a dry town.

efforts to carry the election.
Those who favor prohibition of the sa-
looms will gather In a mass meeting in
Jackson's hall Tuesday night. when ad-
dresses will be made by DR.. A. p. Mon
tague, president of Howard college. and
Capt. Frank s. White
The election Wednesday promises tc be
one of the most spirited in the history of
North Birmingham Those who advocate
the saloons claim that If whisky is voted
down the effect will be to take money
from the town and retard improvements,
as the revenue from saloon licenses would
amount to a large sum
The opponents of the saloons say that
the introduction of bar rooms would ma
terially interfere with the prospects of
North Birmingham becoming large
place for residences. for which II now en-
joys a reputation.
