 DIES OF INJURIES
THROWN FROM BUGGY, HE HOLDS TO LINES TO SAVE HIS WIFE, AND DRAGGED ONE HUNDRED YARDS.

Huntsville, April 6-(Special.) )-James P. Matthews, prominent and wealthy citizen of Huntsville, died at noon today in the city hospital from internal injuries which he received in a runaway accident last Monday night MT. Matthews and wife were driving a spirited team of young horses on Whitesburg pike when the animals became frightened at a shadow in the moonlight and ran away.
 MT. Matthews fell out of the buggy, but held to the lines and was dragged more than 100 yards. He was badly in- jured about the breast and head When asked why he did not turn the reins loose and save himself, he said that his wife was still in the buggy and he was trying to hold the horses, and he did not turn loose until Mrs Matthews tainted and fell to the ground.
 MT. Matthews was 60 years old and related to many prominent citizens in Huntsville and Madison county His widow, who is confined to the city hos pital with severe injuries resulting from the fatal runaway, was Mrs. Field Miller of Lexington ky. They were married only a few weeks ago. MT. Matthews leaves one daughter Miss Mary Howard Matthews.

RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS
 MUST BE SAME F0R BOTH RACES

Washington. April 16.-The department of justice today decided to institute pro- ceedings under the interstate commerce act to compel the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway company to fur nish accommodations to negro passengers paying first-class fare equal in all re- spects to those furnished to white passen- gers. The case grew out of a complaint filed with the interstate commerce com mission against the railroad company by n negro woman, alleging discrimination. After an investigation the commission ordered the railway company to desist from it's discrimination, which order, it is asserted, has not been compiled with. The matter was called to the attention Of the President, who referred it to the att torney general. Instructions to the Uni- ted States attorney at Nashville are being prepared. and it is expected that suit will be begun in that city within short time

PEOPLE MUST JOIN IN FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS GERMS

Lexington Ky, April 16-(Special.)- President Desha Breckenridge of the Lexington Herald company has written the following letter:
 Regarding the American tuberculosis exhibition which opens an Alabama cam paign at Montgomery next week,~I take great pleasure in writing you of the splendid results of the tuberculosis ex- hbiton held in Lexington under the aus pces of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 T do not know of any exhibit ever held here which aroused more interest or will be of so great service to the community, it's effect in stirring the imagination of the people and making them realize the terrific conditions which exist, due to the prevalence of tuberculosis, as well as in- structing them in methods to prevent and cure 1t, will be of untold benefit. "I consider the effect of the 10 days during which the exhibition was here greater in aiding the fight against tuber- culosis than that of all the work done up to that time"

C0RONER'S VERDICT
 SPRINGS SENSATION
THE BODY OF J. G. WILLIS, FOUND SWINGING ON A ROPE, THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN DEAD BEFORE SWUNG UP.

Brewton, April 16.-(Special) )-The cor
 oner's jury empanneled to inquire into
 the cause of the death of J. E. Willis,
 who was found early yesterday morning
 swinging to ropes used for his children s
 swing in the hallway of his home in Alec,
 suburb of this place, rendered a yer
 dict that the deceased came to his death
 at the hands of a party or parties un-
 known, who placed him in the position
 in which he was found after death."
 This verdict came as a surprise, as 1t
 was first stated that the deceased had
 committed suicide. The basis of the jury s
 verdict is founded on the general appear
 ance of the deceased at the time of the
 inquest and the appearance of finger
 prints on his throat On either side Of the larynx could be observed two inn prints as though tine victim had been grasped with the thumbs of either hand from in front, the finger conforming to l the curvature Of the neck, encircling the I throat. When found his hands were not 1 bound and his feet were resting easily on 1 the floor, his position being nearly up- | right. Blood, which had evidently eXuded 1 from the nose had run down the side of
 his face above the moustache, in the direction of the ear, and had flowed on his clothing at the shoulder without coming in contact with the rope about his neck.
 None of the fluid had run into his
 moustache and down his chin, as would have been the case, say the jurors, had 1 the bleeding occurred while Willis was 1 being strangled in an upright position. There was no bulgng of the eyes or pro- | trudng Of the tongue
 During the night Mrs. Willis says she l heard footballs, as though someone was
 walking in stocking feet, and as her hus- 1 band slept across the hall from her she 1 thought it was he who was moving about | the house, and paid no further attention | to it.
 l She was unaware that anything un- 1 usual had happened until she ran against her husbands s body early the next morn l ing before day as it swung from the chil- | dren's swing. No clew has as yet be se- 1 cured indicating the perpetrators of the l crime, if a crime has been committed. l The fact that a heavy rain fell early in l the morning following the gruesome dis 1 covery, it was impossible to put hounds on the trail.
 l 1t has developed that the presence of l Willis in Alec had become obnoxious on | account of his conduct on several occa- l sions and he is reported to have been l warned to leave at one time

 Farmers Burden.
 At present the farmer who raises cattle for the markets has but one buyer, a buyer that fixes the market, and the farmer, whose products are of course linn tied to a bare livelihood by those able to fix prices, and he merely illustrates what is true in other lines of business. The great problem of today is to restore to the ordinary human being his inalien- able right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness l have no hesitancy in saying that the inalienable rights of men, of life, liberty and the pursuit or nap piness have been taken away already from the submerged half of our citizen ship by the special interests in this coun- try, which have been permitted to de- velop gigantic growth under the substan- tial denial of the fundamental doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none In the submerged half of our people the men must work all day and the women must work all day, ard the children are also compelled to go into the factories and work long hours, to the injury of the body, of mind, and of soul We see extreme luxury on one side and extreme poverty on the other.t
 Tt would be better for our people if our stronger men would be content with less luxury, with less power, and if they would voluntarily yield to labor larger part of that which labor creates l freely agree that great organizing brain acting as the captain of manufacturing establishment is worthy of the highest reward as com pared to his less efficient brother. and yet such a man can afford to be gener- ous in the partition of the proceeds of his labor with the regiment he leads.
 OkIahoma's Problem.
 The problem in Oklahoma has been the restoration of the Peoples Rule We are not afraid of our people in Oklahoma. For these reasons, in Oklahoma we first established The Peoples Rule by the Initiative and Referendum, in city, coun- ty and state. Second, a mandatory pri- mary for the nomination of all party candidates. Third, by preventing the use of moneys in elections, and with this we have driven lobbies from our capitol We have devised ways and means for the

SENATOR OWENS VIEWS
 ON THE PEOPLES RULE

The following address on The Peoples Rule" was recently delivered by United States Senator owen of Oklahoma:
 Senator Owen sa pd:
 "Oklahoma's rank in the union is twen- ty-third in population, fifteenth in area, ninth in the production of horses and mules. cotton seed products and corn; seventh in the prbduction of cattle and seventh in the production of cotton, and of the first rankl in the quality of it's people.
 Its population ps increasing faster than any other portion of the United States. Just in degree aS you have. selected and perfected the beet ideas from other na- tions and made them your own, so in Ok lahoma have Me obtained the most self reliant, the most courageous, the most industrious and faithful sons of other states and welded them into the mass of our citizenship.
 "In writing the organic law of Okla homa, our people had before them the constitution of every state in the union, and of every civilized country in the world. It was the purpose of the people of our state to establish two things first the peoples rule in Oklahoma; second, in additiop to the inalienable rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness N$#stablish the enjoyment of the gains off #er own industry
 ..This lattd Night is today the greatest political iss, IsSMl the civilized world, and one which ytM not be settled until it is settled right .k%ltil the right of some men by combinatiNzo or by monopoly to take away from d#er men the rewards of their labor skMll have been controlled within due Do E%$ds.
 P{S.pIe's Rule. .'In order to l# ing this about, the first step was to e4#|5lsh the peoples rule, and in order ~ establish the people rule the first sEep necessary was to be assured that thefcandidate for office was in willing frarSe of mind.
 "The campaigm was waged over the country in a largle measure over the in itiative and referhndum' on the slogan, Let the people rule. The people did rule in Oklahomai and they sent to the constitutional conI ention men who were committed to the i1octrine, Let the peo- nle rule.' Who Is there in these days that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-17

does not understand the petty rascaltes of machine politics and it's disastrous in- fluence over the opinions of men as to the uprightness of our government, and the possibility of upright government. Ma chine foundation makes almost unavoid- able bad government. It leads most in evtably to the promotion of selfish men, who are in politics purely for selfish pur- poses, and as a consequence we find that our government has slowly drifted to a point where selfish interests control our laws and have enabled code of laws to be established by which the greatest prin- ciple of the Declaration of Independence has been made a nulity.
 Sacred Dctrne.
 Tn Oklahoma we hold sacred the original doctrine. We have written these principles into the constitution of Oklahoma We have devised means by which they shall be actually preserved and vitalized within the borders of our state. We have obsefved that where special privileges are granted, it leads first to the injury of the weakest ele- ments of the community; that it leads next to increasing power on the part of those who prey upon the weakest elements making the big fish bigger and the small fish more defenseless. Now we find fish of a monstrous size consuming other fish almost of equal size We find United States Steei swallowing Tennessee Coal and Iron, ," and we find the Morgan Interests swallowing "Heinze and Morse, and a dozen allied interests" and shaking the country from center to circum- ference with a gigantic manipulated panic, with selfish purposes brought about to the tremendous injury of everybody except the leading conspfra tors. When the eXcitment has passed away under this modern conflict of selfish interests you will find that the physical poperties of the country all remain; the men who labor in the country will remain; but the ownership and mastery of these properties will have gone into a fewer hands, that the big fish have grown bigger and the smaller fish have grown more de- fenseless and that this condition will grow worse and worse until we re- store the fundamental declaration cf equal rights to all and special privi- leges to none.'

Negro Is Charged With Interfering
 With Mail Carrier.

United States Commissioner R. B. Watts was engaged yesterday afternoon in the preliminary hearing of the case of Lewis Johnson the negro who was ar rested Wednesday morning on charge of interfering with one of Uncle Sam S mail carriers while he was on his route on Avenue F.
 It is alleged that the carrier incurred the displeasure of Johnson by walking through his house, and that Johnson ran him into a store on Avenue F and kept him there by threats until police officers arrived on the scene. He preferred a charge of disorderly conduct against the carrier after which the postoffice in- vestigated the matter and had Johnson arrested for interfering with the carrier.

 With a view to the immediate control of monopolies in Oklahoma the constitu- tion provides for the complete control of all corporations in the state under equit- able rules, with full publicity, and, where monopolies necessarily exist, with pro vision for fixing a limitation upon their their power to tax the people.
 '',The people in Oklahoma are sovereign, and will not permit any corporation exist ing by the sovereign will to abuse the right of a public franchise by gross and obvious unfarness to the people from whom such corporation derives its life"
