Mobile. March 1s.--tSpecial ia
committee OF citizens, about two dozen
in number, appeared before the School
Commissioners today TO request the
Board, II II be within their power. to
take steps to test the constltutionality
OF the prohibition act recently passed
by the Alabama Legislature. and by
which the School Board will lose much
OF the revenue that goes toward de-
fraying the expenses of the public
school system.
Nj. r. McDermott. President of the
Bank Of Mobile, was the first speaker.
He said he came to ask the board to
aid in making a test OF the prohibition
law before the city was too far dam
aged. He said many persons were
making preparations to go elsewhere.
and that conditions were unsettled. He
had been informed that the prohibition
act would not hold In the courts He
said IL this was so. now was the time

He was Followed by School Commits

Board could not interfere in the mat
ter, that prohibition was law on the
books, and was good law and should
be supported by all moral. law-abiding
people. NJ. J. vickers spoke next and

He thought IT wen to refer the matter

MCKEE DIVORCE CASE
scANDALOBs CHARGES AGAINST
TENNESSEE WOMAN.


Paris, Match 1s.--Maitre Labor to-
day presented TO the court the side
OF the husband in the divorce suit
brought in this city by Mrs. A.. Hart
Mckee against Mr.. Mckee.
The flrst. hearing of the case took
place March 4. when Mrs. Mckee,
through her counsel. discovered certain
allegations to which she had been
subjected by her husband.
Today Maitre Labor made counter
charges of most scandalous char
acter against the wife and declared
that II the court granted q divorce Il
should pronounce in favor Of the de-
PENDANT.
Mrs. Mckee is daughter Of George
w. Baxter, Of Tennessee. She was the
widow of Hugh TevIs at the time of
her marriage to Mr.. Mckee in PhIla-
delpilia in January, 1905.
Maitre Labori declared that Mr.. Me-
Kee married Mrs. Mckee to save her
honor. He mentioned also an Italian
as q correspondent.
A large crowd had packed the court
room In anticipation Of Sensational dis
closures and 1t was not disappointed
Maitre Labori at the outset complain
ed bitterly Of the flood OF accusations
against his client with which he said
the American press had been filled, and
he charged that they were inspired BY
Colonel B&xter, Mrs. McKess father,
and that their publication made re-
coneiliation impossible. The alieRa-
tIens OF Mr.. McfZee's cruelty to his wife
and ia Aua Ut his h3erant wrong
doing were denied, and then. m sup
pert OF the contention that Mr.. and not
Mrs. Mckee. should receive the decree
Of divorce. Maitre Labori proceeded 10
decrribe Mrs. McKee,s alleged caresr
while she was still Mrs. Tevis. He
coupled her name with that OF Lord
Roslyn. and declared that she and Mr. !.
Mckee we're living together at a ho-
tel two days after they met.
Continuing. counsel for the husband
declared that his client had paid Mrs.
McKee's BILL amounting to $4,000,
while she was in the south OF Europe,
and to disprove the charge OF paTsi-
mony against him. he declared that dur
ing q single month Mr.. Mckee had
spent $500 on lowers for hts wife
Maitre Labori made charge, but he
offered no proof. of Mrs. McKee,s mis-
conduct with Lord Roslyn. His allega-
tion was based on the fact that Mrs.
Mckee, when she was Mrs. Tevis. and
Lord Roslyn, stopped at the same hotel
in Folkestone. In the case OF the ItaI-
ian Marquis. no other proof was submit
ted7except that Mr.. Mckee saw his wife
and the Marquis emerging from a gar
den together. .
Maitre Labori did not conclude his
presentation OF the case. and the hear
ing will be continued March rs.

Believes In q Free Press hut Thinks
Some Newspapers are Influenced
by Oatside Interests
OF Owners

Columbia, s. c.. March 1s-wiIliam
J.. Bryan. in letter TO william e. Con
zales. editor of The State says that
It is not for him to discuss the ques-
tion Of availability of candidates. His
availability as candidate. he says. is
not question upon which his tudg-
ment should be ventured or accepted.
"Ihave simply stated that it is ques-
ton for the voters of the party to de-
termine." he says.
"As Democrat" continues Mr.. Bry-
an. Il have resented the claim that a
few editors should decide this ques-
tion for the people. am a believer in
free speech and in free press, and 1
recognize the right of any editor
whether his circulation be large or
small. to state his opinion and his rea
son for II. but those who read his
opinion have a right to give It such
weight as they think It deserves. I
have insisted that the readers ought
to know what pecuniary interest the
editor has in the questions under dis
cussion. For instance. I asked The
World to state editorially what IMAM
cial interest it's owner. Mr. Pulitzer,
has in the stocks or bonds Of railroads
and in the stocks and bonds of corpor-
ations commonly known as trusts. The.
World has not seen Mt to answer the
question.
II do not deny the right OF Hartman,
or Morgan. or Rockefeller or Pulitzer,
to own a paper and present their views
to the public, but do contend that in
the interest of honesty and fair deal
ing the owner of the paper should be
known and the interest OF the owner
In the questions frankly stated"
Continuing. Mr.. Bryan said:
at is deliberately unfair in ignor-
ing this question and charging the de-
feats Of 1896 and 1900 to me. Just as 1t
is unfair in ignoring the still worse de.
feat OF 1904 when The World was again
the party's adviser.
II especially appreciate the generous
support that has come to me from the
Southern States. II the Democratic
voters believe that I can assist the par
ty by being a candidate. why should
refuse? And why should take the ad-
vice of a few editors who have never
been friendly. rather than the advice OF
millions Of Democrats who have been

Clarkson, Secretary to Representative

Mr.. Hobson that the Electric Boat

brought TO bear to secure his assign

Mr.. Hobson today made formal writ
ten request to the COMMITTEES to place
Mr.. C1arlson on the stand. the latter's
qffer TO testify having been thrice
turned aside by the Committee.
In an interview Mr.. Hobson said:
'srhe statements made BY me to the
Investigating committee. were abso-
lutely accurate. Mr.. Spear did, after
approaching the subject in . round
about manner. inform my Secretary
that his company had influence with
the Speaker, and was willing to use
that Influence to secure my assignment
10 the Naval Committee In return for
friendly attitude on my part toward
submarines.
The statement by Mr.. Spear so as
tonished my Secretary and made such
vivid impression on his mind. he In
forms me. he practically can repeat
Mr.. Spears words. Mr.. C1arkson at

visit and his offer and subsequently
Mr.. Spear called me on the telephone
and repeated to me personally his dec

and his offer to use II In my behalf.
