FIGHT FOR THE MACHINES.

The announcement that the Prohibi-
tionists had filed their State ticket was
relief yesterday to the patriots who
are determined to put the voting ma
chimes out of commission. If this
party had not won place on the off,
cial ballot another ticket would have
been a necessity. and somebody sug-
gested that the Happy Boozers' Par
ty' might be a good substitute. It ap-
pears to be the only element in the
community that is not officially repre-
sented.
If Ruef has his way. however, and
he has demonstrated that he has a way
peculiarly his own, he will compel the
use of the machines. He will force a
fight in court and that always involves
uncertainties. Models of the machines
were displayed around town yesterday
for the inspection and possible instruc-
tion of voters.

TRIBUTE TO WOMEN
GENERAL C. I. WALKER TALKS OF
MONUMENT PROJECT.
Deeds of Alabama Mothers, wives
and Daughters During the
War.

For the purpose of stimulating in
terest in the project to erect monu-
ments throughout the South to the
memory of the women OF the Confed-
eracy, General c. Irvine Walker rep
resenting the Confederate Veterans
and the Sons in the work. arrived In
Montgomery yesterday.
1t is his intention to forward the
work of issuing supplements in the
State of Alabama, containing incidents
OF the bravery of the Southern wife
and daughter during the war between
the States. to further arouse the in
terest which is being taken in the
matter.
Speaking of his work yesterday.
General Walker spoke hopefully OF
the interest which the project has
received through the Southern States.
From every section of the South"
he said, the committee has received
subscriptions from patriotic citizens
for the memorial. Already a large sum
has been raised. but we shall need
much more If the undertaking is to
be carried out alon gthe lines plan
ned"
The first object of the committee in
charge of the matter is to fully ac-
quaint the people of the South of the
nature of the plan. It is for this pur-
pose that supplements are being prin-
ted. The plan has been followed with
marked success In the States of Flor
ida. Georgia. South Carolina and North
Carolina. The Virginia supplement Is
now in press.
The Alabama supplement, when pre-
pared. will be published in six differ

Only one theatrical performance was
Offered in Montgomery during the
week just closed, when Tim Murphy

part of his reputation, at the Mont

as several hundred only saw the play
and those who did go suffered with the
intense heat of the evening.
Fans and handkerchiefs were inuch
in evidence during the evening and
Notwithstanding that the work of the
leading figures in the comedy was
warmly applauded many seemed re-
lieved when at last the curtain fell for
the last time. and they had crowded
out into the cooler air of the side
walks,
Another reason for the small at
tendance. perhaps, lies in the fact that
the play of odd Innocence" is so we'll
known to Montgomery theatre goers.
If Murphy and Miss Dorothy Shcrrod.
his leading woman. had appeared in
something NV, there is small doubt
that many more would have attend
ed the play than attended It'd limo
cence." But the personal popularity
of the leading figures was not sufi-
cient to overcome the heat without the
added attraction of a now play, ana
as the chief value of the play rested
with the acting of these two figures,
there was little besides to draw the
people there.
Nevertheless, If the season had been
more advanced. there is little doubt
that Mr. Murphy and Miss Sherrod
would have received more of the need
of popular approval than was theirs,
