wHITEcArPERs INDICTED.
Detective Got Wording Of Thelr q

Detective Got Wording of Their Oath |.
 Atlanta. Ga, Dec. l2.--A special to The Constitution from Jackson. Miss. says:
 A profound sensation has been cre- ated by the indictment of Hon. H. L.. Montgomery, a member of the Legis- lature and J. c. Bryant and J B. Will lis, members of the Board of County Supervisors of Lincoln County, on the charge of whitecapplpg.
 It was known that prominent citi- zens would be involved in the lawless outrages after the employment of de- teetives by the Governor, but 1t was not supposed that County officials would be found mixed up in the white- capping business. The Lincoln Coun- ty Court cannot possibly dispose of all the cases at this term of the court as more than 400 indictments have been found and among those are al number of the wealthiest citizens of the coun- ty.

FAVORABLE REPORT.
Wilson WeeviI Appropriation Will Go Through.

Washington. Dec. 12.-(SpeciaL)-- The subcommittee of the House Com mittee on Agriculture tentatively agreed this afternoon to favorably re- port an appropriation of $225.000 for continuing the experiments undertaken by the Department of Agriculture looking to the extermination of the boil weevil.
 The major portion of this amount will be applied to inaugurating exper!- ments in Louisiana, though a small DOT tion of 1t will be devoted to the estab- lishment of demonstration stations and experimental farms in Mississippi. As the weevil is not in Western Louisiana. it is felt by the department that the greater part of the work during the next fiscal year should be done in that State.
 The appropriation will be placed to the credit of the Bureaus of Entomol- ogy and Plant Industry. by which branch%y of the department t5e work in hand will be conducted.
 It is understood from Representative Burleson, who is q member of the sub committee. that the appropriation Is practically assured. and that the bill will probably be in readiness to be re-

 There is abundant information that the gaming rooms of Alexander have become very popular and that their patronage Is large. Indeed the names of many of the patrons have been se- cured by parents of young men who visit the place. It Is highly probable that these names will be presented to the next county grand jury.
 The Advertiser has received numer- ous letters calling its attention to the open defiance of the law by Alexander and the apparent apathy of the Mont. gomery police.
 One citizen of Montgomery. whosi name is withheld for obvious reasons writes: s
 T have noticed for the past two night Now I find that he has beer gambling and losing money which have this day made good to his em. ployers. On a promise to never do Sd again. he has confessed the following to me: -- A wide-open gambling hell is beine run in our city. It is in the Merchants Hotel and is conducted by professional gamblers from Birmingham. The worst part of it Is that the place Is crowded daily and nightly by some of our best young men clerks and even some of our responsible bank clerks.
 There has been no effort on the par, of the police to suppress 1t, and thu proprietor of the place openly asserts that the place has police protection

 In the gambling hall he says the de vices are so arranged that they may b, quickly transformed into the most in. nocent-appearing furniture.

THE UNIVERSITY
FOR THE CAMPAIGN
Treasurer of "U'' Republican Club Elk
plains Collections.

D. E. Bowe, secretary and treasurer
of the University Republican club,
sends a letter to TIL urnals ex-
planning that the collection of So fees
from each candidate who spoke before
the club at recent meeting was simply
to secure money to defray expenses Of
the meeting, and what balance was left
over would go towards work of the
campaign He denies that the Uni
versity club is a body Of grafters-
which was never alleged. His com
munication is as, follows: .
To the Editor of The Journal: In view
of the article published in T h u r.
a of Saturday in reference to money
collected from speakers for the privilege
of addressing the Republican club of the
university, it is but fair to say that the
money was collected solely for the pur-
pose Of defraying the expenses Of the
meeting, 1t was paid by all the speakers
with the full understanding that it was to
be so used, and with the pledge on the
part of the club that any money received
in excess Of the actual expenses should
be devoted to the work Of the campaign,
after the nominations have been made.
Not q, man in the club will receive single
penny of the money for his Individual ad-
vantage, and the club heartily repudiates
the thought Of receiving contributions
from candidates except for the legitimate
expenses Of the campaign. AS noted in
your paper, a receipt was given each
candidate for the money collected from
him and for such money I hold myself
personally responsible. The University
club is not a body Of grafters. r

It is a common fact to solicitors that
every man who is called upon frequent
ly by agents soliciting business de-
velops a method Of his own Of turning
them down. Some men always agree
with everything the solicitor says to
save time and then promise to buy in
the near future. Others are honest and
try to argue the matter, but they soon

way for both customer and solicitor as
it saves time for both. This question

THE WITCH DEFEATED
Her Power Overcome in 1.-THE Sad
Shepherd

The beautiful old play which will be
presented at the International audi
forum next Friday night for the bene-
fit Of Ruskin Hall is the romantic tale
Of Robin Hood and his merry men, told
in some of the most exquisite poetry
in English literature. 1t was the last
stage work Of Ben Jonson, the contem-
porary of Shakspere. The play is full
of interesting comedy and ends with a
realistic witch hunt.
Robin Hood has invited the shepherds
of Belvoir Vale to spend day of feast
ing and merrymaking with him in Sher-
wood forest. The only cloud over a very
happy day is the despair of Aeglamour,
Earine, who is reported as drowned
Earine, in fact, has been taken by
Maudlin, the witch, and imprisoned, as
she intends Earine for her own son,
Lorel. The witch, Disgusting herself as
Marian, orders the venison killed for
the feast to be sent to her (Maudlin 81

section was the term stand pat' accepted

The law everywhere was very properly

tariff schedules were not sacred, and that
seven years of successful application of
those in existence had suggested changes

around the schedules which can afford a

Fouling the Potomac Channel.

1t Is certainly a peculiar state of the law
that permits the dumping of mud on the
river banks in a manner to lead to the fill
ing of the channel. Yet 1t appears that this
Is the case. the canal company profiting by
clause in it's charter which gives 1t the
right of way on Rock creek from the mouth
of the canal to the river. and there being no
law to prohibit the fouling of the channel.
The practice of which the United States
engineers make complaint is likely to cause
trouble. and 1t is surprising that there is
no federal statute which aims at just such
nuisances. charters or no charters. If the
government cannot protect itself with the
laws that exist today Congress should be
urged Immediately upon meeting to remedy
the defect. There are far better ways of
cleaning canals than to dump the dirt into
the Potomac and the sooner they are spe-
officially laid down. with appropriate pro-
visions for enforcement the better for the
community's welfare.
