Editor Hardin, who was tried for
criminal libel, because of his frank
criticism of the orgies of the Knights
of the Round Table. among whose
members were found royalty itself
and the royal favorities, has just as
frankly demanded that the emperor
shut up or abdicate, and his editorials
have been quoted in hundreds OF pa
pers. Evidently they do not. fear
lese majestic any more in Germany.
Time was when royalty was sacred;
when the nation and patriotism was
summed up in the royal family.
Somehow, the Germans seem to have
distinguished between the personality
Of their eccentric overload and Ger
many. and their regard for that con-
federation OF, states overtops their re
spect for the royal house Of Hohen-

Maybe Williams mouth interferes

the common man a personal interest

education spell death to real fiction.

STATE GOES DRY BY
 UNANIMOUS VOTE Exciting Scene Occurs In the
 Legislative Hall MANY WOMEN PRESENT Governor Noel Sends Message to the Legislature Urging Passage of g. Cent Railroad Rate Law and
 Repeal of Other Laws.
MANY WOMEN PRESENT

Jackson/ Miss, February 7.-(Special J. The passage of the statutory prohibition law by the house today was no surprise to anybody, but it was never supposed that it would pass unanimously.
 An effort was made by some of the more rabid prohibition members to change the date of closing the saloons from De- cember 31 as had been agreed to by Bishop Galloway and other leaders and the whisky men, but it was voted down. The idea was to close on the first of June but the committee had settled on the last day of the year and that date stood
 Seldom is such a scene witnessed in a legislative hall. Prominent -prohibitionists from all over the state were present the galleries were filled to overflow ing with ladies, many of theH workers in the prohibition cause for scores of years, and shouts of Amen" were heard in every direction when the vote was an- nounced, many eyes were filled with tears of joy and a deafening applause followed the call of the roll which showed 110 for and not one against the measure
 In a lengthy message to the legisla- ture today Governor Noel urges passage of a 2-cent passenger fare bill, but sug- gests that the railroad commission be given discretionary power to enforce the law according to ability of. railroads to stand one cent decrease.
 The governor also suggests repeal of the fellow servant and contributory neg ligence laws, the enactment of laws pre- venting blaclisting of employees, and drinking on trains.

NEWLANDS TALKS
 UPON WATERWAYS Many Problems Yet Remain to
 Be Solved QUESTIONS ARE NATIONAL National incorporation of Railroads Is Advocated, Which, the Senator Declares, Is Not Central
 izatlon Problem.
QUESTIONS ARE NATIONAL

Atlanta, February Limited States Sen- ator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, vice chairman of the inland waterways com mission. was the guest of honor and prin- cipal speaker at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce here tonight. He discussed the development of inland waterways and advocated the national in- corporation of the railroads in connection with the improvement of waterways as the solution of transportation problem. Other speakers were Governor Holxe Smith of Georgia, S. G. McLendon, chair man of the Georgia railroad commission, and George E. Plumbe, president of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Newlands described the work of the inland waterways commission, of which he is a member, and continued
 Whilst the primary purpose of the in quiry taken by the inland waterways commission is to facilitate water trans portaton, it is impossible to perfect the machinery of the waterways without talk ing into consideration the related ques- tions of forest preservation, irrigation of arid lands. reclamation of swamp lands and other kindred questions.
 "The agitation now going on for the de- velopment of the inland waterways of the country is one of the most significant features for national treatment of na- tional questions. The nation must create the national agents which are to con- duct it's interstate and foreign transpor- tatfOp fa4rx leave their selection to the states
 Under national incorporation, the ques- tions relating to the development and con- trol of our waterways, as well as those relating to railway transportation, will be solved. There will be great corpora tons whose lines will extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and others from the lakes to the gulf. Such systems will do away with much of the waste trans portation by availing themselves of the inland waterways The legislation cover ing these interpretations will be so framed as to guarantee not only the interest of the shippers and products, but also the interest of investors in railway stocks and bonds."
 The cry of "centralization" so deserv- edly raised against many proposals, the speaker said, could not be raised against this. Tt was necessary he said, Ito find sovereign for these giant corpora tions, whose jurisdiction would be as broad as interstate commerce itself The union of states was formed for just such purposes, and as yet had failed to exer- else it's undoubted powers"

GRAFT TESTIMONY
 IS SENSATIONAL
ARCHITECTS ASSISTANT TELLS OF PRACTICES IN FURNISHING CAPITOL WHICH CAUSE MUCH SURPRISE.

Harrisburg Pa, February 1.-The names of former Governor Pennypacker and for mer Attorney General Hampton l.. Car son were brought into the capitol pros cautions today by the testimony of Stan ford B. Lewis assistant of Architect Joseph NJ. Huston, at the trial for alleged conspiracy of Contractor J. II. Sanderson, former Auditor General Snyder, former State Treasurer Mathues and former Pub lie Buildings Superintendent Shumaker
 When State Treasurer Perry first called attention to the alleged capitol frauds IA months ago, Governor Pennypacker di- rected Attorney General Carson to make an investigation of the charges MT. Car son accordingly wrote letters to all per sons concerned in the construction and furnishing of the building, asking them for information bearing on the charges All of them replied, and the attorney gen. eral made a report which showed that no laws had been violated.
 Today Lewis under cross-eXamination by counsel for Snyder and Mathues, de- clared that Architect Hustons letter in the Carson inquiry was suggested and framed by Pennypacker, Carson and Sny- der, by whom Lewis was called to liar risburg to discuss the matter.
 Lewis said the statements in the letter that every article of furnishings had been carefully weighed and measured by the architect before they were delivered and paid for were partly true and partly misleadng.s He explained that the Huston letter was written to dovetail into the let ters written by other persons connected with the construction and equipment or the capitol to the former attorney gen. eral.
 Lewis testimony was the most sensa- tional of the trial. In his cross-exam- ination on Wednesday he said whatever changes in weights and measurements made by Architect Huston were made on computations furnished by Auditor Gen eral Snyder His testimony on this could not be shaken today.

CONFERENCE OF
 IRON MINE OWNERS
AGREEMENT IS REACHED THAT REDUCTION IN THE OUTPUT OF MINES IS NECESSARY TO MEET THE CONDITIONS.

Cleveland, O., February Flor the ap- the price of iron ore for this year upon a standard equal to the prices which pre- vailed last year, William E. Corey. presi- dent of the United States Steel corpora tion, attended the conference of iron ore mine owners here today. The United States Steel corporation is not purchaser of ore. owing to the fact that the corpor- ation has it's own mines, but because of this ownership is interested in the selling. price of ore. There was little for the Steel corporation president to do, however, as there was no apparent disposition on the part of the mine owners to make q rate less than that which prevailed last year.
 To maintain the price, however, there is every indication that a reduction will be made in the amount of ore mined. Ihls reduction was decided upon in thes New York conference of a few days ago, but no announcement was made at the time. The principal reason given for the refusal to reduce the prices was that 1t would necessitate reduction in wages of the miners of the Lake Superior district, who are said to be now receiving the highest wages ever paid in that district. The cur tailment will mean that many boats Will be idle upon the great lakes this sum- mer. and a general falling off in lake ma rine traffic.
 Last year 4f, ,2SS,755 tons of ore was mined This year. one mine owner stated. 1t is not expected that the output will exceed 2S. .O00000 tons.

MRS. M'DONALD'S
 DEFENSE ATTACKED
ATTORNEY FOR THE PROSEcU- TON MAKES CHARGES OF PREJ- UDlcE,. TREACHERY, PERJURY AND BRIBERY.

Chicago, February IA bitter de- nunciation of the tactics of the defense was the keynote of the address of As. sistant States Attorney Day, who began the concluding argument in the trial of Mrs. Dora Mcdonald, charged with killing Webster Guerin, an artist, this afternoon. He made charges of preju- dice, treachery, perjury and bribery against the opposing witnesses and counsel and condemned Inspector John Wheeler of the Chicago police force for inactivity, asserting that that official lost interest in the case when he feared that the prisoner was the wife of his old friend, Michael c. Mcdonald.
 He also referred to John M. Collins, former chief of police, and Frank Com erford, former attorney for the police department, declaring that they had taken statements from witnesses which statements afterward had been de- livered to attorneys for the defense in stead of being turned over to the states attorneys office.
 There was no hint of the death pen alty in MT. Days address. He asked the jury to find the woman guilty of murder, but gave it to be understood that penitentiary sentence will satify the prosecution.
 The address occupied the entire aft ernoon session and will be resumed to- morrow

IulI In Politics.

There seems to be a Hull in political circles at the present writing, for while the elections are rapidly approaching, can didates, with the exception of those for the Board of Revenue, seem loath to an- nounce themselves, waiting, possibly, until the county executive committee sets the date of the primary.
 In municipal circles the general opinion seems to be to wait until the county pri- mary is over, provided it is called at an early date, before making announcements, especially as in all probability the town will be redstricted, and as the next cleo tion will be by wards this is an important matter While several candidates for Mayor are mentioned, none have for mally announced
