Washington, d. C.-The investi-
cation into the legislative methods en-
ployed by the Electric Boat Co., di-
rected by the house of representatives
and resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Lilley Comm, is ended as
far as open sessions Of the special
house committee are concerned.
The closing hours were dramatic.
Frederick Brown Whitney, an attor-
ney, admitted that he was the author
of the anonymous letters of Feb. 13
and Is to newspaper and State Sen
ator Frank Marlborough of Michigan,
which have figured prominently in the
investigation. The admission of Mr..
Whitney was made in the form Of an
affidavit, which was read by his coun-
sel former Senator Thurston of Ne
braska.
After reciting that he was clerk to
the house naval affairs committee in
1904 and later became connected with
the Lake Co., he says he wrote the
anonymous letters so the methods OF
the Electric Boat Co. would be brought
to the attention of congress.
Mr.. Whitney, in reference to other
anonymous communications, said he
believed Representative Loud had
voted for an exclusive appropriation

dents are engaged. They have had
several disputes recently with native
labor, and it is conjectured the pres
ent outbreak is elimination of these
difficulties.

She Was Stabbed In The Brain By a
 Negro Woman.

Mobile. July 27.-(Special. )-Ella Sinkheld. a negress. who resided at loS Fisher Alley, was stabbed while on Davis street late6 last night and died this morning in the city hospital.
 The cutting Is said by the police to have been done by q negro named George Spear who succeeded in making good his escape.
 An investigation made by the police today in the murder resulted in hnd- ing that the death blow was inflicted with an umbrella, the steel ferrule of which pierced the brain Of the woman. It was also found that after the wound had been inflicted the negro Spear car ried her to her home and then sum- moned a negro physician.

SOUTH PERRY FIRE
POLICE PROBING FOR ORIGIN OF
 SUNDAY FLAMES.
Theories are Several, But Conclusive Evidence Missing as to Wheth-
 CT Burglar or Small Son Was Responsible.

Careful investigation by the local au- thorities has failed to throw any new light on the peculiar circumstances sur- rounding the fire Of night before last in the house. HI South Perry Street, formerly occupied by Mrs. Julia A. schull. who left the city, supposedly for Louisville. Ky. the night of the fire.
 The fact that Mrs. Schull has a small son may throw some light on the matter and servant with a grievance may have had something to do with 1t. Another theory advanced Is that a burglar may have entered, and wish ing to remove his traces and cover a theft, set fire to the house. These and many other theories have been spoken of but as yet nothing definite has developed.
 Mrs. Schull has relatives in the city and her address is known to the peo- pie here interested in the matter. She has been written to in regard to the fire and her answer is awaited with much interest by many.

MOBILE COUNTY MAY
 BUY THE TOLL BRIDGE

Mobile. July s7.--(Special. )---At the next meeting of the Board of Revenue and Road Commissioners, which will occur during the first week of next month, the matter of the purchase of the Dog River Bridge will be considered. 1t Is hardly likely that the Board will lock favorably on the purchase at this time The toll company which has the operation of the bridge in charge, has d lease on the bridge for a matter of len years, six of which have already elapsed. This fact alone, 1t is said. ma tarfaiiy reduces the amount that the county would have to pay for the strucs ture, as would the wear and tear on the bridge since the time 1t was built. It originally cost in the neighborhood of ls.9o0.
 By 4se terms of the lease. should the county decide at any time to purchase the bridge they can do so oy giVlns proper notice to the toll company. The coryspnnv will then have to select some person 10 represent them, the county will select another, and these two so aainsfe6 win add a third to their mum" her. the three being constituted an ar- bitration board to decide just what the county ought to pay for the orlase.
 It is understood Shat the matter or sta purchasA will go over for at least six moaths, principally because .ne count, has in contemplation the ouild- inr of a bridge over Fowl River. ten miles below the Dog River bridge ana lt is the opinion of some or tne coll- lnissioners that when this second oriose a is built will be the proper time for the county to take over the Dog River structure. -. .
 Discussion of this bridge project de- veloped the fact that the County com nalssioners have planned out. and in eonne parts are already working a schenae for the building of roads through the southern part of the coun- ty, which, within year. will give easy access to Alabama Port. Heron ana r,v to Coden. The road known as the Delehanps and the Cedar Point Road Is already well graded and within three weeks it Is expected 1t will be graded a1l the way to Coden. These two roads, when built. will permit or easy t~svai all down the shore to Coden and hack through the southwestern portion of fhe county to this city.
