frauds alleged to have been committed

COADjUTORSRIP is
DISCUSSED BY POPE

ROME, Aug. 3.-Though the question
OF San Francisco coadjutorship was
presented to the pope last week by
Cardinal Gibbons and again today by
Archbishop Farley, no decision has yet
been reached. 1t was reported today
that the claims of Rev. DIR. Edward J.
Hanna were strongly urged by both
divines. Representatives of the mod
ernist tendencies of Father Hanna have
reached the pope, and these may stand
in the way of his selection.
Archbishop Farley of New York was
received by Pope Plus with marked dis
tinctfon. The archbishop presented the
jubilee greeting and Offering of the
New York archdiocese and gave a sat
isfactory report of conditions there.
The pope thanked the archbishop for
the Offering of PEERS pence and sent
the apostolic benediction to the clergy
and laity of New York.
The Peters pence Offering brought
by Archbishop Farley was the largest
eyer presented by an American diocese
The pope knew all about the celebra-
tion of the New York diocese last April
and said:
1T is marvellous what you Americans
can do. You make miracles. Indeed
the centennial was a most remarkable
religious event. That is the result of a
church breathing free air and enjoying
real liberty and not being restricted
within the bounds of certain concord
ats"
During the conversation the pope re-
called Monsigneur Farley's visit to him
in Venice in 1902, remarking:
ut is quite different now from that
day. Then was free"
Here the pope sighed as If from grief
Archbishop Farley, however, found the
pope in splendid health and cheerful

change the manner. of electing Presi- dents. The gerrymander has been a political ruse resorted to more than once to give a party greater repre- sentation in Congress from a given State than 1t would be entitled to un- der any fair count of noses. In many an instance three out of five of a States representation in Congress have been of one party when three out of five of the voters of the State were of the other party. all because of a gerry mander.
 With the choice of President thrown Into the House the twenty four States having the smallest cleo toral vote could out vote the twenty two States having five times as many electors. And yet Judicious use of the gerrymander would cast the vote of some of these smaller States for one party when a majority of the vot- CTS were for the other candidate. Rhode Island could offset New York in a House election, and Delaware might have a vote and Illinois or Ohio none. Of course one or two experiences like this would lead to another amendment to the Constitution.
 Elections like those of the early history of the country would not be tolerated by the people today. Not 
 allowed to vote in the majority of the States. but all sorts of practices were resorted to. Even territories were permitted to cast electoral votes. Think. for instance, of New Mexico and Arizona coming up and demand ing their share in the electoral vote this year! Yet that is what Michi- gan. Missouri and Indiana did. when they were territories. and fin 'the case 70 lat counted. John Quincy Adams says that If there had been a contested election at the time Missouri was off, fering territorial votes in the electoral college. and these votes had sufficed to turn the scales. there could have been no election "and the whole Union would have been unhinSed." The Fed eralists had planned an interregnum to prevent Jefferson being declared Pres ident in 1900. John Adams counte- nanced it by saying in one of his let ters that he knew no more danger of a political convulsion if a Presi- dent Protem of the Senate. or a Sec retary of State. or Speaker of the House should be made President by Congress. than if MT. jefferson or MT. Burr is declared such."
 Such things show that our fathers had no monopoly of political virtue, and that there were many more irreg- ularities In elections then than would be permitted in these days. Whatever the result of today's election, 1t Is probable that it win be known by midnight, 1t Is certain that 1t will be known by tomorrow, and 1t Is a fore gone conclusion that the verdict will be accepted without a nurmur by the defeated party.

THIS TO BE DISCUSSED AT CHAT
 TANOOGA MEETING.
Chief Clerk FeagIn of Education De- partment is to Attend Meeting of Southern Edu-
 catOrS,

Chief Clerk W. F. Feagin of the State Educational omce will leave dur ing the latter part of this week for Chattanooga, where he will attend the two days sessions of the fourteenth annual meeting of the Association or Colleges and Preparatory Schools Of the Southern States. This determlna- tion on the part of Mir. Feagin was reached on the receipt Monday morning of an invitation from the Association addressed to the State Department of Education,
 The object of the Association whose meetings Mr. Feagin will attend. is to make some uniform standard for en- trance requirements to the various Southern colleges. This subject is very much discussed one among South ern educators of note during the pres- ent time. and efforts to establish standard requirements are to be pur sued during the conference by means of a general discussion by such emil nent educators as pr. J. B Henneman of the University of the South, Dr. Wickliffe Rose, General Secretary of the Peabody Board; President F. w. limit of Central University, and Pres ident E. B Craighead of Tulane Uni versity.
 Enclosed with the invitation to the State Department to send a represen- tative to the conference was a program outlining the discussion together with the social features planned by the city of Chattanooga. Among the interest ing features of the social end will be an automobile drive to Chickamauga Park and Missionary Ridge, and pe- ception to the various delegates at the Hotel Patten.
 Mir. Feagin will leave Montgomery most probably on Saturday afternoon or night. as the conference will be held on the following Monday and Tuesday.

ENTRANCE STANDARD FIRE ESCAPES MYTH
NO ARREsTsoON ON FIRST DAY WERE
 MADE.
It Is Understood that Next Grand Jury Will Be Charged to Look After
 Such Violations.

Passed is the first day since the pe- riod of grace allowed owners of cer- tain buildings to provide fire escapes under the statute of Alabama. It is not only in Montgomery. in Mobile or in Birmingham that the fire escapes are commanded by the new Code, but everywhere in Alabama where the de- scription of the buildings fits.
 No arrests were made in Montgomery Monday the first day of opportunity to those charged with enforcing the statute It is conservatively estimated that there are score or more of build ings in the city limits that come under the law Yet the law specifically pro- vides that six months after the new Code went into effect the buildings sh ould be equipped with the fire es- capes. As the Code went into effect May 1, November 1 was the last day on which the law could have been compiled with.
 Whether arrests will be made for vio- lations of this law Is not known in Montgomery. It is understood that the next grand jury that assemblies in the courthouse will be charged to look closely after all viola ttons of this char acter. It may be that then prosecu- tions will follow. But 1t is said that statutes and ordinances of this kind have been commonly disregarded in the past, and that probably the estab- lished custom will prevail.
 Following are the sections of the criminal code on the subj ject, Nos 7095 and 7096:
 Any owner, proprietor or manager of any hotel office building, school building, store or manufacturing build l ing, which is more than two stories | oh pvh haI fafI For six months after the adoption of this Code. to have securely fixed and con- veniently arranged so as to be access sible to persons lodging in. working in. or occupying such building, in case | of fire in such building, good and suf- fcient fire escapes or ladders for each story of said building, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. and. on conviction. shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500, any may be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county, for not more than six months for each day so continued. T"
 Any owner. proprietor. or manager of any hotel, office building, school building. store or manufacturing build ing erected hereafter who shall fail to erect with such Building such fire escapes as are required in the preced- ing section shall, on conviction, be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 and may be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months.
 From the first section it will be seen that there is more for the owners of such buildings to think about even af- ter the first day when officers of the law do not make arrests If at any future time these or other executive officers see At to prosecute the punish ment will have accumulated pretty heavily at the rate of $500 or less per day.

Pointers on Poultry.

Incubator chickens are a good invest ment, and many lovers of poultry have made the process a study with good re- suits. A writer in a current periodical says:
 "A large trade has grown up in the past few years in selling and shipping small chicks directly from the incuba- tor. Often they are shipped hundreds of miles. If properly crated and handled, they usually prove fairly satisfactory, but not always. A new trade now devel- oping is in chicks, say, six or eight weeks old, when the sexes can be distinguished. Many people wish to buy bullets, and they can be accommodated in this way. Hence the sale of this size is on the in- crease. There is less ris.. in shipping these larger chicks"
 An article recently appeared in the same magazine entitled "Parasltes on Poultry" and the following formula was given to rid fowls of the pestiferous ''mite,' which causes much trouble
 'Bisulphate of carbon. one-half pint carboic acid, one-half pint tar, one-half gill; petroleum (crude, if possible), b pints. Mix the first three liquids Shake well; then add the petroleum by de- grees. Keep in an air-tight can. well corked Paint roosts and surrounding woodwork frequently, and it will exter- minate mites. Keep the mixture without the oil and add one part to 15 parts of petroleum when used The tar is not necessary"

Pleasures for
 Mothers and Children.

How to entertain the little folks is fre- quently az reat problem, but a nice idea suggested itself to four mothers whose children were friends, and it resulted in most charming amusement for all parties concerned. 'These four mothers formed picnic club" says the Woman's Home Companion, drawing lots for the responsibility of a picnic in June, July August and September. The June one was a great success and set the pace for the others.
 "A l0-cent trolley ride brought mothers and children to a picnic grove, not yet open, but none the less pleasant, and then the presiding mother unpacked her suit case. A stout hammock held from one to six children, and two old shawls spread out on the grass accommodated two mothers each.
 '"rhe children amused themselves all the morning, while the mothers In turn read aloud from one of the latest books
 Each mother contributed one item of the dinner which was a simple one-ham and egg sandwiches, sardines and crack CTS, gingerbread and fruit. Root beer flowed plentifully, and there appeared a bonbon for each, with paper cap, which straightway became the most important feature in each costume.
 "A jolly game of bean bag, in which every one joined, filled up the time until the preparations for leaving, which be- gan in good season, so that nobody had to hurry, and everybody was rested and ready for good supper at home."
 The idea could be pleasantly carried out through August and September, arrang- ing the outings two weeks apart, instead of only once a month, as was suggested.

The Uncrowned King
 of the Isle of Man.

The forthcoming play by Hall Caine, written in collaboration with Louis N. Parker, which will be the dramatic piece de resistance of the London season, brings this noted novelist and playwright into the llmelight of literary criticism again. In his native country Hall Caine might well exclaim with Alexander Selkirk, "I am monarch of all survey" for he prac- tically owns everything in Manxland. He is of more importance in the Isle of Man than the lieutenant governor, Lord Raglan, for hei the acknowl edged uncrowned king. Picture post cards of himself his family and his home, Greeba Castle, are sold by the thousand to tourists who journey thither hoping to catch a glimpse of the rich and famous novelist
 It is often said of Hall Caine that he owns the Isle of Man." fguratively speak ing Yet few know that in a literal sense that is true. An incident is told of q friend who visited Mr. Caine at Greeba Castle. Taking several long drives with him. the question was often asked, who owned the land over which they were passing In every case Gaines response was that either he owned the land out right or held a mortgage upon 1t.
 During the time some years ago when the public was surfeted With Hall Caine and when Viola Allen enjoyed such run in "The Christian" wag who was more 'ennuied' than polite inscribed the fol- lowing lines to the great Manx novelist: ''Oh, could I reach some shining shore And live upon Its coast
 Where Hall Caine never more would write And glory Quayle's on toast"

Pergolas Necessary

Every well-regulated home is sup posed to possess a pergola. It is the very latest fad and one which is practi- cal as well as ornamental.
 Only this morning, says writer in the Gentlewoman, I heard of one or two simple expedients for achieving a per gola. On the top of two veranda posts, if you have them, place wooden brackets, and across them string two or three heavy wires from which hang clusters of vines.
