authors say the bill has the en-
dorsement OF the Brotherhood Of

Trainmen, and Is intended to meet
the recent decision Of the supreme
court by which the employers liza.
bility act of June II, 1906, was de-
clared unconstitutional. Every
common carrier while engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce be-
tween the possessions of the United
States, is made liable to its EN-
ployes who are injured while EN-
ployed in such commerce when
such injuries are due to the negli.
gence or mismanagement of any
officer or employe Of such carrier,
or when due'to defects or Insult.
ciencies in equipment.
This provision is made equally
applicable to carriers in the terri.
tories, the District of Columbia and

In the last issue OF our es-
teemed contemporary appeared
an editorial, in which the paper
is committed irrevocably to the
candidacy of William Jennings
Bryan for the Office OF president
OF the United States. There is
nothing surprising in this, but
the argument put up in support
Of the position that the writer
assumes is certainly thing to
marvel at. "Hurrah for Bryan,
he says. "The people today de-
mand currency reform, a tariff
for revenue only, and an honest
administration minus hot air
and grandstand notoriety." Let
us consider these propositions
in their order. A vote for
Bryan, he. says by implication,
is a vote for currency reform.
What then did Mr.. Bryan mean
when he said the money ques-
ton would not be an issue in
the campaign this year2 What
currency reform does our con-
temporary think Mr.. Bryan will
attempt to put through, if he is
elected? He is an honest man
our contemporary admits that.
Does not the Maverick believe
Bryan when he says that the
question of currency reform is
not an issue this fall? Again
he tells us, Mr.. Bryan stands
for a tariff for revenue only.
Let Mr.. Bryan again speak for
himself, "The tariff question
is certain to be prominent is
sue. There are three economic
questions which seem likely to
divide attention: the trusts, the
tariff, and the question sof rail
road regulation. They all pre-
sent the same fundamental issue
namely, whether the government
shall be conducted in the in
terest of a few favorites or
in the interest OF the whole peo-
pie" Who can fail to recog.
nize in this statement the more
concise motto and watchword OF
our president, Theodore Roose-
welt, ga square deal to all, and
special fayors to none" But
where does Mr.. Bryan commit
himself to a tariff for revenue
only. Let our contemporary
enlighten its readers. Gan hon
est administration minus hot
and grandstand notoriety. Here
is where our contemporary
makes a ten strike sure enough
"The principle of Roosevelt's
doctrine is all right, but his
manner OF correcting the evil
has wrought destruction to the
country, caused loss to the
commercial interests of more
than a billion dollars, and has
been the direct means of throw
ing 100000 men out Of employ
ment." What does he think
and what does he say when these
words come from the lips Of
Democracy's peerless one, in
comment on the presidents
latest attack on the dangerous
influence of certain large cor
porations?
ut is brave message and
needed at this time. All friends
OF reform have reason to re-
joioe that the president has
used his high position to call
attention to the wrongs that
need to be remedied. He has
discovered the running sore in
our national life, and has
pointed out the corrupting in.

Clubs committee on streets sent letter
to Street Cleaning Commissioner Crowell
last night complaining that the snow con-
tractors had done but small part of the
work they ought TO have done and that
the methods o. measuring the snow ac-
tually hauled were defective. The letter
said that not only were the loads improp-
erly measured the imperfect meas
urements being in favor of the con-
tractors. but that the inspectors employed
by the club TO watch the carts found many
instances where the foreman Of the street

had actually been hauled in those wag-

The letter suggested that if the defects
which We're pointed out by the club could
not be remedied. then ii would be better
for the city to do the work itself without

DAWES ONCURRENCY

 THE ALDRIcH BILL.
Mr. Dawes Was Somewhat rrascibie Throushout His Remarks and
 Asked Not to Be Tn-

Washington. April 14.--Charies O. Da wes, formerly Comptroller of the Currency. and now President of the Central Trust Company of Chicago. ap- peared before the House Committee on Banking and Currency today and made a stout defense of the Aldrich bill.
 MT. Dawes became somewhat irascible upon opening his statement when MT. Prince of Illinois asked him whether, if the Aldrich bill was enacted into law. his bank would avail itself of its provisions and proceed to take out emergency currency If necessary.
 Tt is not matter of interest" he retorted sharply, whether my bank would avail itself of this currency or not: ! have come here to make a statement and I would like to do so without Interruption"
 MT. Dawes explained that the ineti- tuition of which he is President Is a trust company and not national bank, and said he did not know whether 1t would be inclined to change its orsani- za ton so as to take advantage of the AIdrich bill if enacted into law. He Aid not approve the section prohibit ing loans to institutions. the officers or directors of which are officers or directors of the bank making the loan.

NO CLUE TO MURDER
KILLING or CONDUCTOR WOOD IS
 A MYSTERY.
Negro Passenger Says There g.. Mere Than One Person ta Party
 That Held up Bessemer

Birmingham. April r4-(special)-- Every effort was made today to get a clue to the party or parties who as- sassinated P E. Wood, the conductor on the South Bessemer electric car line about ten miles south of Birmingham shortly before midnight last night. but in vain.
 The dogs which were placed on the trail within an hour and a half after the murder followed some tracks to the line of the Alabama Great south ern Railroad. less than a mile from where the tragedy occurred. and it is believed that the murderer Jumped on . train.
 There is no accounting for the kill- ing. The cross ties were placed on the track where there is a hill. Some be- lieve that the purpose was to wreck the car and then rob the conductor This could have been done with ease as the car stops for crossing within 100 yards of where the ties were placed on the track rs
 The body of Mir Wood was brought to Birmingham early this morning and prepared for shipment and was taken to Iuka, Miss. his former home. for interment.
 The deceased is survived by his widow and three children. He lived at Boulevard station. on the Bessemer car line and was quiet and peaceabie

 Mir. wood was shot with a double barrel shot gun the load striking him in the back of the neck. He died wftn- in a short while after the shooting.
 4 negro. the only passenger on the car at the time of the shooting, ex- presses the belief that there were more than one person in the attacking party. That the conductor was singled out ap- pears to be certainty. The negro passenger on the car says that when he heard the shooting after the motor man and conductor left the car to get the cross ties off the track, he i'm mediately ducked in the car and did not get up until he heard moan or two and then knew that the conductor or motorman had been hurt.
 The ,motorman left the scene shortly afterwards and notified the sheriff as we'll as the general offices of the com pany.
 A reward will be offered for the ar- rest of the perpetrator. The coroner's fury examined the motorman this morning and will continue the investi- Ration Saturday morning.

country will go through another panic unprotected. and we will be face to face with what we hsvs been through iu the past"
 Mfr. Dawes was closely questioned by Chairman Fowler as to the means that the Government would havs to redeem the s5oo.ooo.0oo of emergency currency in lawful money after the emergency was over. Mir. Dawes in- sisted that while it was theoretically possible that the entire amount of emergency currency would be present ed to the Treasury. no such demand would, in fact, ever be made. He finally said that. if necessary. the Gov ernment would redeem the notes in lawful money secured by the sale of bonds.
 That is what I wanted you to cay" retorted Mir. Fowler; that ends 1t aii."
 Mir. Dawes insisted that the line of argument was of no consequence prac- ticaily. and characterized the Idea that there would ever be such a demand on the Treasury. as nonsensieal. He said he would favor an amendment to the bill providing that the banks them selves should all redeem the emergency currency in lawful money. MT. Dawes told the committee he agreed with them there should be general revision of the currency law. but that he did not believe such revision possible of ac- complishment at this time.
 Don't you think" asked Representa- tive Glass. that the outlook for the Aldrich bill in this committee is rather dreary?'
 Any banking bill seems to have a dreary outlook in the Banking and Currency Committee" retorted Mir. Dawes.
