A Glimpse Of the Doings Of the
Cardinals
GIVEN BY CARDINAL L0GUE
You Know an Irishman Was Elected
Pope But he Cut Away From Rome
and Ran to the Distant Appenine
Mountains.

| NEW YORK, May IA glimpse
OF the doings OF the Cardinals, dur
ing the election OF Pope Plus X, was
given by Cardinal Logue, the Cath

many priests to this country.
In that large collection of cardi-
nails no one protested so much
against the selection OF the Patriach
Of Venice as he did himself" said the
cardinal Had it been warmer
day he might have been chosen soon
er than he was. The pope was over
come and frightened at the burden he
would have to undertake. He was
fainting.
But these Italians" he said, refer

One OF them went up to him with a
bottle-a smelling bottle, ! believe.
When the laughter OF the priests
had subsidized, the voice OF the cardi-
nal took on a subdued tone. 1T was
warm night, he said "The cardi-
nal elected to be our holy father did
not want the Office. He had been
a faithful priest and hard working
man in his archdiocese. He had
worked among the poor and was ac-
customed to his labors. And to be
the pope, he would have only lit
tie garden to move about. I've new
er seen it.

Cardinal Loguex closed with
priestly tribute of love and fidelity
to Plus x, describing him as saint

TENT OF Y. M. (. A. WAS
 SUCCESS WITH TROOPERS

Although somewhat of a novelty to the troopers, the Y. M. c. A. tent at Camp Wiley proved a great success. This is the first time such an institu- ton has been added to the. camp life of the militia of this State, but the re- suits obtained last week are so gratIfy- the boys showed such appreciation of the big tent, that hereafter every en- campment of any size will be so pro- vided.
 Direct connection was made with the postofflce, and men were able to get their mail without delay. Writing ta- bles were provided as we'll as the pa- pers and magazines. Religious services were held, and as has already been stated a Sunday service conducted by Dr. H. M. Edmunds, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was well attended by the soldiers and citizens. The Y NJ. c. A, tent was under the management of J. H. Rich. Troop D, Birmingham. MT, Rich will also take charge of a similar tent at the encampment in Chickamauga Park.
 On the stationery furnished by the Y. M c. A., Army and Navy branch the following lines are printed:
 I've may marshal many armies, we may raise many dollars, we may build many buildings, but we must never fail to remember that our supreme work is to touch the hearts and minds of young men, that they may dedicate to Gods service whatever wealth, power or ability He may give them"

COUNTY BUSINESS BOARDS
 HELD SESSIONS YESTERDAY

The Board of Equalization of Mont gomery County held a short meeting yesterday morning at which they con- sidered several complaints fn regard to taxes which had been presented to them. They then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when they will consider in detail the matter of the adjustment of taxes.
 After the adjournment of the Board of Equalization, the Board of Revenue held their regular weekly meetings, taking up several matters of import ance The first subject which they dis cussed was the contract submitted by the Western Railway of Alabama in regard to the laying of a spur track to the county's gravel pit at Cutters Hill. near the Cantelou place. Objec- tions were raised to certain clauses of the contract providing that the county be held responsible for damage to life or property caused by trains operating on the spur track.S
 County Attorney w M. BIakey was instructed to confer with representa- lives of the railroad with the Idea of having the contract modified.
 complaint of Flint Hall was next considered by the board. Mir. Hall complained that gravel was being hauled from his place to a point fully a mile beyond. That, he contended, was a violation of the county's agree ment with him because he had agreed to furnish gravel only for use on the road running through his place.
 After several other matters had been taken up the board went into secret session.

ORDERED TO COURT
GOMPERs. MORRISON AND MITCH
 ELL MUST APPEAR,
These Labor Leaders Nunt Show Caune Why They Should Not Be Held in Contempt
 Oe C0urt

Washington. July 2O-In the Buck Stove and Range case, Justice Ander- son of the District Supreme Court. to- day summoned Samuel Gompers. Pres ident or the American Federation of Labor, Secretary Frank Morrison of that organization, and John Mitchell Of the Executive Council. and former President of the United Mine Workers or America, to appear in court on Sep tember next to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of courts injunctive order.
 The citation is based on a petition of the Buck Stove and Range Com- pany of St. Louis. which alleges that an order issued by Justice Gould for bidding an alleged boycott by the American Federation of Labor, has been violated by the public utterances and address of the three labor leaders named. It is cited that MT. Gompers caused to be published in The Fedora tionist, the official organization of the Federation, certain article refiecting on the courts decision and in alleged open defiance printing the name of the Buck Stove and Range Company on the We don't patronize" list. Gomp CTS is quoted as saying to several newspaper men:
 50 far as I am concerned, wish to state this: When 1t comes to a choice DCNWcCu my Ai6hbS do A free American citizen or violating the injunction of the court, I do not hesi- tate to sa ythat I shall exercise my rights as between the two"
 Other utterances are quoted which 1t is alleged Gompers and Morrison in furtherance of am. alleged plan to nullify the courts orders have pub lished editorially, and which are oth- erwise offensive tol the courts decis- ion, including the name of the Bucks Company. The references, it is claim ed. were made fSr the purpose of keep ing alive the id@l of the boycott as 1t existed before the order of the court and were so framed as to affect the sale of the company's products. John Mitchell at a meeting of the United Mine Workers last January, put to vote a resolution imposing a fine of $5 on any member of that, organization who purchased a stove or range of that company's make. The resolution also provided for the expulsion of member in default of payment of the fine.

A NOVEL EXPLOSION
DRY CLEANING PLANT ON DEXTER
 AVENUE DAMAGED.
All But Two Fire Stations Responded to the Alarm and Then Flames Gave Peculiar Resistance
 To Efwht

By an explosion of gasoline yapor in the rear of the Montgomery French Dry Cleaning Company's plant on Dex- ter Avenue at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Walter Leigh. an employe of the company, was painfully burned about the arms and face. Immediately after the accident he was removed tn an infirmary and was reported last night as resting easily. His hurts are not serious.
 Except for the destruction of a few clothes and slight damage to the ma chinery of the plant there was no loss as result of the explosion. The only flame in the building was that occa- stoned by the burning of gasoline in a tub which received the drippings from clothes run through the wrinSing ma- chine. and while considerable dificul- jty was experienced in extinguishing 1t because of the uselessness of applying water, there was at no time serious danger of a confiagration.
 At the time of the happening there were there men in the building J. H. Hurley, the proprietor. and an employe in front, and Mir. Leigh, who was at work In the rear Mir. Hurley stated that the first intimation he received of any danger was a tremendous explo. sion which blew trash thirty feet through the building and out of the front door. A few seconds later, he sdto, LelBn uarteu out or the cleaning room with arms and face burned by flames. announcing that the room was on fire
 The alarm was then sent in to the department and every station in the city except the West End and High land Avenue companies, responded promptly The clang of the gongs. the smoke of the engines. and the rumble of the hurrying vehicles drew a huge throng to the locality and fears were entertained that a confiagration was imminent.
 A line of hose was without delay stretched into the threatned building. but when the nature of the blaze was discovered 1t was realized that water would be of no avail in extinguishing 1t. The firemen therefore resOrted to dirt as an extinguisher and shovel af- ter shovel was dumped upon the blaz- ing tub. Finally the chemical en- zine was brought into use and the flames were soon put out.

WRITES TO BRYAN
MONTGOMERY BOY CoNGRATU-
 HATES HIM.
And Gets an Answer From the Grea' Democratic Leader Thanking Him for the Interest
 shown.

One of the most enthusiastic Demo- crats in Montgomery is Master William Jennings Bryan Leibel, II years old. or IT Third Street. The young name sake of the great Commoner lent his entire influence locally to help secure the nomination of Mr. Bryan, and when he heard his hero had been nominated he celebrated on ginger pop and choc- olate cigarettes and spent the other , cents on a big fre-cracker and made exceeding merry withali.
 Then he sat down and wrote Mir Bryan a letter congratulating him on the great but deserved honor that had been paid him and assured the Demo- cratic leader of his further and even still more enthusiastic support
 Yesterday morning the postman, who has been getting rather uneasy at the way his steps for the past week have been dogged by small boy near the Leibel home. brought W. J. B. Leibel a letter and 1t was post-marked Lin- coln, Neb. W. I. B. Leibel took the letter and felt a queer sensation at his temples and the ground seemed springy. but his dignity was not in the least impaired and he proved this by drawing his fathers armchair to the piazza rail. stuck another chocolate cigarette in his mouth and with heels on the banisters "opened his mail"
 The letter is as follows:
 "The Commoner,
 Lincoln, Neb.. July Is, 1908. Master William Jennings Bryan Lei-
 bel, Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Sir-Your letter to Mir. W. J. Bryan at hand. He asks me to think you for your kind words of congratu- lation and to assure you of his appre- citation of the interest you manifest.
 Very truly yours,
 Charles W. Bryan"

Prevails in Camp of Democracy in
 Indiana.
 Indianapolis, Ind, Special )-Never was there a more popular democratic ticket in Indiana than that of Bryan and Kern It suits all classes. Profess sional and business men have come to regard Mir. Bryan as one of the really big men of the country. They no lon- ger regard him as dangerous. Farmers hold him in high esteem, and the labor ing men look to him as to a savior. The Commoner has long been popular in Indiana, but he stands higher today than ever before.
 The esteem in which Mir. Bryan Is held has been demonstrated since thu nomination of Mir, Kern. who is the best-liked democrat in the state. Gold democrats. who held aloof from Bryan in 1896 and again in 1900, are now boasting of the<fact that they are back in the fold. So-called conservatives are now insisting that the Nebraskan Is nc more radical than President Roosevelt Democrats of all shades and of ali communities are making it known tha' the ticket is all right.
