BIG CITY WOULD
 BECOME DISTRIBUTOR
KING COMMENTS ON IMPORTANCE TO STATE AT LARGE OF HAVING A CITY WITH 100000 INHAR- ITANTS.

Representative Jere c. King went to Montgomery yesterday to confer with the committee on municipal code in regard to his Greater Birmingham bill. The com- mittee requested MT. King to submit the bill to them in order that arrangements might be made to keep the proposed measures from conflicting.
 Greater Birmingham still appears to be gaining adherents in large numbers throughout the district affected. The only thing demanded by the small towns was that they should be treated fairly and have a word to say in the running of the city, and the fact that MT. King has done everything requested of him as to what should be incorporated in the bill, together with his slogan of square deal,' has convinced the suburbanites of his sim cerity.
 The fact that a Greater Birmingham would mean making the enlarged city a distributing point for Alabama is most important. In discussing this phase of the situation, MT. King said before leav- ing:
 'The fact that a population of 100000 in Birmingham would benefit the whole state is matter which is not realized by many people. If Birmingham is put down in the census reports as having this popu- lation 1t would mean an enormous saving in money and time, for Birmingham would be made the distributing point for all
 
 in one of the small towns In Alabama sends his order to one of Birmingham's large houses he is very often informed that part of his order will be delayed on account of its having to be ordered from Atlanta or Memphis Atlanta and Mem phis are the southern distributing points for hundreds of large concerns, simply because of the show in population they put up.
 'In discussing this matter with Repre- sentative Jack Cranford who runs a large mercantile establishment at Jasper, he stated that the benefit to be derived from making Birmingham a distributing point would be incalculable to the merchants Ill the small towns near here. He saio that in his establishment 1t was very often the case that they would call a Birmingham house over long distance phone to order some certain article, only to be informed that they would have to wait until it could be gotten from Atlanta.
 'It can be readily seen from this that the making of a Greater Birmingham is not merely of local benefit but Is of state- wide importance. The favorable senti- ment toward my bill is growing rapidly all through the district and I feel confi- dent of a Greater Birmingham

 'Yes. sir"
 versation gone into between the four of us?"
 "Yes, sir; Adams and myself talked with you and Senator Borah about the confesson.'
 The defense continued to fight hard the adoption of this line of testimony. The court was inclined to give much latitude to the examination, but finally sustained an objection to the introduction of the conversation between Adams Orchard, Hawley and Senator Borah. Orchard was turned over for redirect cross s-examination by Richardson.
 Sells Share Hercules.
 Orchards sale of his share in the Her. cules mine was gone into at length in an effort to show that the property was not sold in 1897. but was simply mortgaged. Orchard insisted that he had sold the mine out in 1s97
 Didn't you tell Dave Coates that you had an interest in the mine when you were driven out of the Occur D'Alene2' asked Richardson. ''No, sir; did not" Orchard also denied that he had made the same statement to stage driver. 'fWhen I was In Wallace in 1905" he said, 'T met Cordonia and in joking way said he might give me $4000 or $500O as he had done so well in the mine.''
 Orchard was questioned closely as to his conversation with Haywood about the conversation he had with Haywood in making the arrangement about the let ters to his wife. Meets Haywood.
 'T met Haywood in Pettibone's house or store fin July or August of 1905," said Orchard. He said my wife had been writing to him. I told him to write her and tell her had to go to Alaska"
 This was prior to August 3O
 Have you seen Haywood since that time?' asked Richardson. No sir'
 You directed your wife to deliver these letters to the Pinkertons more than a year ago?'
 No sir I did not
 Richardson went closely into the con ference between Haywood, Borah, McPar- land and Orchard within the last few days.
 Orchard said the letters were not shown to him then or discussed. Why did you tell Haywood, Mover and Pettibone that you had given the letter to your wife, to Paddy Mullaney, and had dated the letter from San Francisoo7'
 "The reason is,'' said Orchard very de- liberately, that my wife had told par ties that if she knew where I was she would seener see me in jail than not know Whera I

ALL BUT HUMMEL OUT
 OF DIVORCE SCANDAL
We'll Known Lawyer In BIackweIPs Island-others Charged With Con-
 spiracy Escape In Divers Ways.

New York, June 1S-Abraham H. Hum- mel, tho former well known lawyer now serving a sentence in the Blackwelrs Is- land penitentiary, probably will be the only person to suffer Imprisonment as a result of the conspiracy charge which grew out of the once famous Dodge Morse divorce scandal. Indictments against for mer Supreme Court Justice Edgar l.. Fursman and Charles F. Dodge, which were found in connection with the con spracy charge, were dismissed today on recommendation of District Attorney Jer- ome, as were the remaining indictments against Hummel.
 Benjamin Steinhardt, Hummel's old law partner, who also was under indictment, died yesterday Edward M. Bracken, a private detective against whom an indict- ment also was found, never has been ar rested. In moving for the dismissal of the indictments the district attorney said he is of the opinion that public interest does not require further prosecutions of Hummel; that Dodge has been discharged on his own recegnizance because of val uab1e aid which he gave the prosecution In the conviction of Hummel, and that in view of Judge Fursmans hitherto un- blemished character there was no end of justice to be served by proceeding under the indictment against him.
 MT. Jerome told the court that he felt particularly inclined to help Hummel, be- cause he had materially aided the state during the Thaw trial. No promises have been made Hummel for anything he had done in that connection, but said Mr. Jerome the state, through it's prosecuting attorneys, always is inclined to help those who help him. The recommendations were accepted and the indictments were dis missed

From the New York Sun.
 Had the queerest experience the other day" said a woman member of the fac ulty of a nearby college. You know Railways wear my watch pinned on the left side of my waist. Well. I saw a lit- tic hole in the waist right under the pin. Couldn't remember seeing it when l put the waist on. Made a mental note to mend it as soon as I got back to my room-and went on with my work Pret- ty soon someone said, How did you get such a hole in your waist?' I looked, am, there was that miserable hole three times as big as when I saw 1t first Had to go to my room then and put on a fresh waist. In about half an hour there was another hole in the clean waist and grow ing bigger by the minute. Hurried to my room again. found a round hole in my corset cover in about the same place. Then l looked at my watch and pin-the latter was just back from the jewellers. The watch was all right the pin seemed hollow, and there was tiny hole In the under side from which oozed green liquid.

accustomed to it, 1 would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for few days; but soaly places would appear again and the itching would accompany them. After suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small doses and salve. then used to bathe the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In addi- tion 1 used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, --'s Salve,
 - Ointment, and in fact was con- tinually giving some remedy fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally myhair began to fall out and was rapidly becoming bald. I used ---'s -, but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, 1 thought ] would try Cuticura Ointment, having "feviously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it.. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 to S60 in vainly endeavoring to find cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer million, s. Dak., Aug. IS, 19O6."
