j. H. McMullen, one Of our
prosperous Wright's Point far
mers, had quite an exciting eX-
perience the other day. He was
coming 10 town on mis- bicycle
and had evidently been reading
Harry Orchard S testimony in the
Haywood trial, for the bicycle
tie bursted with a very loud re-
port and it is said Mac never
stopped 10 investigate but made
a run 10 the nearest ranch house
where he told a thrilling story of
the explosion of a bomb. Now,
this great religious does not
vouch for the truthfulness of
this story, but got it second hand
from what it considered reliable
authority. We didn't interview
our friend Mac for fear of the
story being spoiled.

The merchants Of Burns.

The merchants of Burns.
through an agreement. have
closed their places of business on
Sunday since April first. This
agreement was to be in effect on
" until July first and as that
date draws near they are all con-
sidering the proposition of con-
tinuing in the same manner in
definitely would do so if public
sentiment were with them. The
fact that ahe harvesting season
begins al that time and il has
been the custom in the pas; for
ranchers to do their trading dur
ing the busy season on Sunday
makes it a difficult problem es-
pecially as the stores at other
points of the valley may be open
on Sundays and thus reap a great
trade that would otherwise come
to local merchants Of Burns.
The Times-Herald believes in
encouraging the Sunday closing
and would suggest that the mer-
chants Of Harney. Lawen. Mar
rows and Riley be consulted and
see if all will not agree to close
on Sunday. In justice to them
selves and their families they
should do this. Ii is a business
proposition and no one will really
object to it. Ranchers can do
their trading upon other DAYS
just as well and the habit Of Sun
day shopping will soon be forgot
ten. The plan has worked to the
greatest satisfaction during the
last three months in Burns and
there is no reason why il should
not continue in future.

The Times-Herald regrets to
note the seeming indifference Of
a great majority of our business
men to matters Of public good.
Very seldom can they be gotten
together to discuss any subject
that is Of a public nature although
they be more or less personally
interested. Towns that have
active. public-spirited business
men who take an interest in pub
lie affairs are doing something.

900 DAYS MORE
 STARE AT FUCKER
This Negro, the Hero of Many Escapes Runs Into the Arms of
 Policeman.

Nine hundred days still stare Will Fucker in the face. After two strenuous and unsuccessful attempts to escape from the clty's custody, the negro finally got away, but was caught last night and sent back to be resentenced. The negro al- ready has 900 days to serve, and when the judge gets through with him today the number will be greatly increased.
 Fucker is one of the negroes, possibly the leader, who tried to escape through the storm sewer near the North Highland fire station several weeks ago and was flushed out with streams of water.
 He is also the fellow who came very near saving through the bars of the Southside jail and aiding a score of pris- oners to get out. Originally he was only serving a short term for petty larceny, but his escapades continue to double his time, and if he keeps on with his mis- chievousness, should he die, he will be debtor to the city of Birmingham for the whole of another life.
 On May II he jumped the chain gang, and after lodging the police for long time, last night ran into the very arms of Policemen Gates and Malone in Buz- gard Roost. He tried to deny his guilt, but was soon definitely identified.

MOTORISTS AT WORK
 ON NEW CLUB HOUSE
MT. Munger Is Reelected President and Several Important Steps Were
 Taken at the Recent Meeting.

The Birmingham Automobile club re- gently held a meeting and besides the election of officers, took several impor- tant steps. R. S. Munger was reelected president for another year, Dr. D. F. Dedman became vice president and Charles Denegre. secretary. Max Wink Ter and Bradley Sanders were elected to places on the board of governors.
 The club decided to push with active steps the location and construction of an auto clubhouse somewhere within run ming distance of Birmingham This mat ter has been under consideration for more than year without action.
 Bessemer and Mt. Pinson, as well as several other communities, have made of fers, but none has been accepted.
 The object is to build a beautiful little place where social functions may be given and where the automobilists can go on short runs to spend a quiet afternoon or evening. It will have many advantages and become quite popular. It Is hoped to have this finished before fall
 It was decided to amend the bylaws re- airing those who sell automobiles to re- turn their numbers to the city so that the new owner will have to register. These numbers will be published by the club, and each member as well as police officers will be able at a glance to see whose car has passed them. The club wishes to assist the officers of the law as much as possible.

OIL OFFICIAL IN
 JAIL FOR CONTEMPT Alleged Conspiracy of Court
 and Standard Oil
A TERRIFIC IMPEACHMENT
Judge Hook of the United States Cir cult Court Gives the Secretary of Uncle Sam Go. Three Months
 In Leavenworth Prison.

Leavenworth, Kas., June 5.-Judge w. c. Hook of the United States circuit court today sentenced H. H. Tucker, Jr., the indicted secretary of the Uncle Sam Oil company to serve three months in the Leavenworth county jail, for con- tempt of court, the contempt being a sensational affidavit filed by Tucker, all leging conspiracy between Federal Judges Pollock, McPherson and Phillips, and the Standard oil company, to drive the Uncle Sam company out of business. Judge Hook delivered a terrific arraignment of Attor- ney Albert L. Wilson of Kansas City. who prepared the affidavits.
 He said the only purpose of filing the affidavit was to create a sensation in the papers and influence public sentiment. Hook declared there was no precedent for such an affidavit and the clerk of the court was criticised for placing 1t on file. It was stricken from the file by order of Judge Hook.
 Tucker commenced serving his sentence. The bankruptcy proceedings were con- tinued till a judge can be found who can sit In the case. Judge Pollock will not preside
 The affidavit alleged that Judges Pol lock, Phillips and McPherson went on a fishing trip to Tampico Mexico, on Jan uary 26. 1906, in the private car of Gardi- ner Lathrop, head of the legal depart ment of the Santa Fe and strongly inti- mated that during the trip a conspiracy was entered into between the judges and the Standord oil company, the claim be- ing made that the Standard and the Santa Fe road were controlled by the same per- son. The affidavit further alleged that Pollock made a statement against Tucker and the Uncle Sam company out of court.
 Tucker was on the stand two hours and was subjected to a gruelng examination by N. H. Looms, general attorney of the Union Pacific named by the court to con duet the examination. Tucker attempted to corroborate the charges in the affidavit, but became mixed and admitted the af- fidavit was prepared on hearsay
 The attorneys for the Uncle Sam oil company asked the court to dismiss the the bankruptcy proceedings, stating that Tucker would pay every outstanding debt in a few days. Judge Hook refused to dismiss the suit Tucker will be taken from jail to testify. The present term of court will be continued until a judge can be secured.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Biiou.

"Down Mobile" the Lincoln J. Carter play at the Bijou this week, is unusually well staged. The swamp scene in the third act is one of the most realistic put on at the Bijou for some time. There is the mournful croaking of frogs, flashes of frefies and the shrill cry of the screech owl. Over weird expanse of moss and swamp lands a clouded moon throws her beams The whole effect is quite realis- tlc Another scene reproduces fire which is also vivid and exciting. The company is fair. There will be matinee this afternoon and the usual perform ance tonight.
 Next week the Bijou has an unusual of- fering in "The Christian" with Ralph Stuart in the leading role. This play comes to the Bijou direct from New York and is elaborately staged.

The following letter was made public last night:

The following letter was made public last night:
 Birmingham, June 6, 1907. MT. George S. Carlisle, Birmingham,
 Dear Sir and Brother:-My attention has been called to a letter In local paper which Is purported' to have been written by you to myself, under date of the Sd, inst.
 First, I may state that the alleged letter has not been received by me.
 Second, I wish just here to state once for all. and that 1t be plainly under stood, that the purpose of my letter to The Age-Herald of the 2d, was not to antagonize or to personally critioise you, or in anyway do you an injustice; but entirely for the purpose of expressing my views, and as I construe the meaning and objects of our order, and having been approached by many members of labor organizations, whom, by their ex- pressions as relating to your public an nouncement through the local press, l felt 1t both just and proper In pursuing the course which I took.
 Third. If have in any wise done you an injustice, I will be ever ready to correct the same.
 Fourth. The question as relates to the constitution and bylaws of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, I shall be as brief as possible-to the extent of substantiation of facts pertinent-to-wit: Page 28, section g. No member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers shall be elected or serve on commit tee of adjustment for any other labor organization" This does not seem to i'm ply that no member shall serve with a committee of adjustment for any other labor organization. The distinction as in1- nlied you will readily observe. to be in the word "for' and the word with" In conclusion. I may state that publici- ty will be given this communication with view of justice to all. and I beg to remain, truly and fraternally yours,
