Francis J. Heney Says Labor includes
the HIGHEST Citizenshir.

Francis J. Fieney Says Labor Includes
the Highest Citizenship.
Francis j. Heney, the attorney who
has been prominent in the prosecution
Of grafters in San Francisco, delivered
an address to the students of the Cali
fornia university, in which he said:
MEN who attempt to place the re-
sponsibility for our municipal evils
upon the labor unions are denseIy ig-
norant or else they speak from bitter
and selfish enmity or base motives. La
Dor men are your fellow citizens. IN
happily all men who toll do not have
the opportunity you have to obtain a
broad education.
But these men who earn their bread
have the same fine sentiments, the
same pure motives, the same high pur-
poses and aspirations, the same affec-
tons, that you college graduates have,
and they are inspired by the same
principles and the same love for our
common country and it's institutions.
So urge you young men not to per-
NIT yourselves to believe that labor
does not include the highest citizenship
of the United States. Men who work
respect the law, and they are entitled
to the protection of the law 1 have not
the same confidence in the merchant
class or the corporation class.
do not misunderstood me. I do not
mean that all merchants or corpora
ton men are corrupt. I mean that
nine times out of ten labor votes on
principle, with no personal interest,
and nine times out of ten the merchant
votes for his self interest and against
moral principles"

Death of Cslestial While on
 His ,Way Home Co Die in China

The first death that has ever decim- ated the ranks of the Chinese popula- ton In Montgomery was recorded yes- terday. and 1t was the death of wis., iting Celestial--Mr. Jung Chung Gung, iaundryman from the Flowery King dom, whose /temporary residence in America had been in Atlanta.
 The old man--he was S1 years of age-was passing through Montgom- cry on his way to China, where he was going to spend his last days, in &C., cordance with Chinese custom. when ne was overhauled by the man with the gray beard and the s-ythe.
 Jung Chung Gung will not be buried In Montgomery, as there Is no Chinese cemetery here. but according to his re- ligion, the remains will be taken on q long trip across the continent to San Francisco. where 1t will be transported across the Pacific to its final resting place in ''old Cathay."
 Just why the body must be inferred in a certain portion of China Is in- teresting to the believer in mystic rites and lucky signs. Dread of the unseen. but ever present. beings which torment the orthodox Chinese. plays a great part in the religion of that coun- try.

RIVERS STILL RISING
STAGE OF TwENTY-FIvE FEET RE
 PORTED AT MONTGOMERY.
No Dangerous Stages Anticipated, How ever-Downpour of Rainfall
 Now Thought to Re Over -l,30 Inches Fell.

The downpour of rain yesterday morning seems to have been the wind ing up shower that ended the rainy spell over this section.
 The rainfall here for twenty-four ours ending a. m. yesterday was I:43 Jinches;' 0.54 inch fell between a. m. and noon. making . total of 4.30 inches here in e little over forty-eight hours. Similar heavy rains fell throughout southern. middle and east ern Alabama.
 Fortunately the rain was not so heavy in the upper Coosa Valley. or really dangerous freshet in the Coosa and Alabama Rivers would have re- suited. Even as 1t is. the rise in the lower Coosa and Alabama is quite rapid. and moderately high. though not dangerous river stages are expected.
 At wetumpka the river rose 10.6 feet in twenty-four hours ending 6. m. yesterday, when 1t reached stage of 1s,z feet. At Montgomery there was rise of 10.5 feet during the same pe- riod to a stage of 13.1 feet By noon yesterday 1t had increased to stage of 14.9 at Montgomery, and at D. m. it was 1894 feet, and still rising.
 At Selma the river stood at 10.e feet at a. m. yesterday and rising rap idly At Milstead, on the Tallapoosa River. the Government gauge read 1s.4 | ing steadily. with a big infow from all the large creeks in that section. Section Director Chaffee, of the Weather Bureau, said last night that the rain was over. He said that the storm center. which developed over the middle Gulf day before yesterday, had moved of to the noreastward by last night. having passed over this section yesterday {. morning, and that fair weather was expected for this vicinity. today. with a slight drop in temper ature. He said the Alabama River would continue to rise steadily here through today, reaching a stage of about twen-- ty-five feey. This Is not considered dangerous. however, as 1t takes thirty-foot stage to begin to cover the low lands just opposite the city. At Selma a stage of twenty-seven feet Is expected on this rise.
 Much low ground cotton has been ruined by the rains and by being flooded by the river rise: but the Weather Bureau warnings, which were distributed we'll in advance of the rise. saved thousands of head of stock which were pastured in the low grounds of the river basins.
