brokers refused the distillers and sent
them away. sorroWful.
The plain reason of this. action OF
the Government is that no certain
valde can be attached to this whis-
key, in view of the rapid increase in
prohibition. The liquor receipts diff
fer from the cotton receips, because,
while every one is going to continue
to wear clothes, the Government COM
siders that fewer people every year
may continue to drink.
This should be encouraging to pro-
hibitionists and promoters of legiti-
mate business.
The prohibition wave is sweeping
over the country at a rapid rate and
we predict that dit will be only a
question of time when we can say
that ours is a prohibition nation.

CABINET MAY Be
KEPT SECRET |
List of Names Sent to Senate
May Be the First An
nouncement

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 9-The Taft
Knox cabinet conference is over and
the Pennsylvania senator Is on his
way back to Washington. Neither the
president-elect nor his adviser will
discuss the result and it is strongly
hinted by Mr. Taft that his cabinet
will be made known for the first time
when he sends the names of the men
who are to compose 1t to the senate
for confirmation, after the fourth of
March. However. something more
definite regarding this determination
may be expected within a few days.
With the early ending of the con-
ference with Mr.. Knox, it seems a
reasonable conclusion that the Taft
cabinet is decided upon. If this is
the case it is also undoubtedly true
that the MEN who are to compose that
body have yet to- be invited to become
cabinet ministers and their answers
received. Mr.. Taft said that he had
talked over with the senator large
number of matters. After Mr.. Knox
had gone. Mr.. Hitchcock had an ex-
tended talk with the president-elect
Mr.. Taft said that while he was at
Hot Springs that 1t was his desire to
have his cabinet announcement COW
err the whole cabinet. This is under
stood to be the advice he received
from Mr.. Knox on the subject.
The president-elect today added
Columbia, S. c.. to the list of southern
cities he will visit at the first op-
portunity after he becomes president.
He was invited to attend the annual
meeting of the state bar association
there. The meeting takes place on
one of the days Mr.. Taft expects to
be In Atlanta.
Mr.. Taft was compelled to decline
a banquet which the Taft clubs of
Georgia wished to give him here for
lack of time.

COALITION TO

Bitter Deadlock in Illinois
Legislature Over Declara-
tion of Vote

Springfield, Ill.,, Jan. 9.-The in
auguration of Gov. Charles s. Deneen
and the other state officers elected
November 8 has been postponed in
definitely and the legislative wheels
are at a standstill. The Inaugural
tion was set for next Monday. This
is the latest sensation in one of the
bitterest political fights in the history
of Illinois. according to the verdict
Of old-timers. Friends of Governor
Deneen today refused to join with the
Republican Democrat alliance in the
house to canvass the vote cast at
the November election.
The Inauguration cannot take place
until the vote is canvassed. The elec-
tion of a United States senator or
any business other than perfecting an
Organization in the legislature cannot
be carried on until the vote is can
vassed.
Friends of Governor Deneen re-
fused to canvass the vote. believing
that plot was abroad to spring a
resolution calling for a recount of the
ballots in the threatened attempt to
Oust Governor Deneen should the can
vass be taken up today.
Canvass Plan Halted in Senate.
The house, when it met today,
adopted joint resolution providing
for joint session of both houses to
canvass the vote. When it was pre-
sented in the senate, where Governor
Deneens friends are in control, 1t
was referred to a special committee
composed of Jones, Chicago; Gardner,
LaSalle county, and Hurburgh of
Galesburg. They were instructed to
report back at later day. The SEN
ate then adjourned and it was agreed
that no further business be attempt
ed until next Tuesday. This makes
1t impossible to canvass the vote be-
fore Monday, the day set for the in
auguration.
When this action of the senate was
conveyed to the house, David L.
6hanahan of Chicago explained that
In failing to act upon the joint reso-
luton to canvass the vote, the senate
killed the resolution. The house will
have to originate another resolution
before the canvass can be taken up.

Yesterday's Action

1cStcTQ8y'O ACtlOn
After having made him the target
all day for criticism with here and
there words of commen,lation, the
house last night by vote of 212 to
IS, rebuked the president by tabling
so much of his recommendations re-
garding the secret service detectives
and also declaring to be the sense
Of the house that they shall decline
to consider any combinations from
any source which is not in it's own
judgment respectful.i
With feelings of outraged dignity
and pride on the part of many of it's
members. the house gave itself up en-
tirely to a discussion of one of the
momentous questions that ever came
before Tits functions as a legisla-
tive body-in contradistinction to
those of the executive branch of the
government
AS had been forecasted, the report
of the special committee appointed to
deal with the language in the presi-
dents annual message and in his spe-
cial message of last Monday bearing
on the secret service affecting the
members of congress, was submitted
and 1t was used as the basis for some
OF the most earnest and vigorous
speeches ever heard in the historic
chamber. The house, was in no mood
to treat the subject otherwise than
seriously. although in the remarks
which were made, the reference to
the president, almost invariably, were
couched in parliamentary language
Nor was the president without his
supporters.
In anticipation of the report, the
effect of which was to administer a
rebuke to the president, there was
one of the largest attendances of
members of this session, while the
galleries at all times were filed to
their capacity. To accommodate the
crowds, the doors opening into the
corridors we're thrown open and these
were choked with persons while
standing in line behind them were
hundreds Of others. There was not
moment during the day that the
diplomatic gallery was not fully &C.
cupied, many of the foreign repre-
sentatives being compelled to sit on
the steps of the aisles. This also was
true of the presidents gallery, al
though no member of his immediate
family was present. Neither was his
son-in-law. Representative Long
worth Of Ohio, in his seat during any
part Of theday. So great was the in
terest in the proceedings that many
senators came over to the house and
sat for several hours.
Toward the close of the debate. Mr..
iafdner OF Massachusetts vainly en-
deavored to secure first, the adoption
OF a substitute for the resolution in
the shape of an amendment express
ing confidence in the committee on
appropriations and then tha postpone
ment OF the whole matter until Mon
day, but he was Overwhelmingly out
voted.

Eye Witness Story.

Rome, Jan. 9.-Miss May Sherman
OF Elizabeth, N. j., who was active
in the measures undertaken at Taor-
nina for the relief of the earthquake
sufferers, and who is now in Rome,
today gave further details of the con-
dition of the refugees who came under
her observation. Some of the wound
ed, she says, were so seriously hurt
that there was very little chance of
their reaching Cattania alive. They
were therefore taken from the train
and given every attention possible
at Taormina. The local Italian doc
tors and an English physician, DIR.
Dashwood, and his wife were inde-
fatigable in their labors. Four of the
wounded died during the first two
days.
Il was much struck" Miss Sher-
man went on, "by the behavior of the
refugees. They seemed dazed with
terror and suffering, but they were
absolutely accomplishing. They were
ready to share whatever was given
them with each other, and even those
that were suffering most did not neg
lect to thank us for the kindness
shown. The people of Giardini seemed
to have no idea of ever giving water
to refugees until such a course was
suggested to them by the foreigners.
But as soon as they did wake up they
showed great kindness and received
one hundred of the wounded into their
homes"

PREACHER A MURDERER
Large Reward for Accused Man.
Whereabouts Unknown.

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. 9.-By

pastor of the little church. and the
man who was at first supposed to
have been killed.
Inc teeth were found today when
the ashes from the stove were sifted.
Or. c. H. Browbeer of St. Clair. the
dentist who made Browning a set of
1alse teeth recently, examined them
ana declared they were part OF
Browning's set. His decision satis-
tied Prosecuting Attorney Brown that

grees. He has scar on the upper

There is another scar on one of his
legs below the knee. When he dis
appeared he wore his brownish beard

beard and his hair, also brown, show
ing a little gray, had been recently
trimmed"
Efforts to discover some motive for
the destruction of the carpenter by
the minister have been fruitless and
rumors are that Carmichael had been
lseen crossing the St. Clair river into
Canada could not be corroborated to-
day.
Mrs. Carmichael and Miss Car
michael. wife and daughter of the
minister were examined today by the
prosecuting attorney here and he
stated afterward that he was con-
WINGED that they knew nothing of the
murder nor the mans disappearance.
A statement today by Mrs. Carmichael
that her husbands sister is an in
mate of an insane asylum may ex-
plain some of the horrible features of
the crime, if the authorities suspici-
ons about Rev. Carmichael are borne
out Mrs. Carmichael also said
that her husband was moody and
restless the night before he disap-
peared and apparently brooding over
something.
1t was also learned today that on
Monday, the day before the murder,
Rev. Carmichael came to the postof-
flee in Adair. apparently much agita-
ted and perturbed and received let
ter which he took away without OPEN
ing. 1t is thought that this letter may
have had some connection with the
strange intimacy between the minis
er and Carpenter which had been no
ticed for number of weeks before
the crime in the church.

AN ALLISON MONUMENT
Congress May be Asked to Provide
for Site and Pedestal.

Washington, Jan. "a movement is
on foot at the capitol to honor the
memory of Senator William B. Allison,
of Iowa, in an enduring fashion. A
proposition will be made to congress
to appropriate the necessary funds
for a site and base for monument
to the late Father of the Senate" I"
The monument itself will be provided
through private subscription, with the
probable cooperation Of the state of
Iowa.
Mr. Allison's long service in con-
gress endeared him to the member
ship of that body. 1t is not believed
the closest stickler for economy
would object to this appropriation if
asked.
The comittee on the library also
has before it a proposition to have a
portrait of Mr.. Allison painted. to be
hung on the walls of one of the cor
ridors or some other public place in
the senate wing Of the capitol. This
is an honor paid to but few men in
recent years. The portraits now seen
around the halls and corridors usually
are those Of men Of the early days of
the republic.
Gen. Granville NJ Dodge is the
head of the movement to have mon
unments erected to the memory of
Senator Allison both in this city and
in Iowa. He has conferred with a
number of people about it, and the
project has met with approval. When
the proposed monument in Washing
ton is presented in legislative shape,
Senator Dolliver will have charge of
1t in the senate and Representative
Dawson in the house.
