were thrust deep into the pockets of

Margaret remembered how he had
told her moro than once that she was
the only woman the world held for
him, and she had thought it was non.

expressed by man who was not
much better than an animal where
women We're concerned.
It flashed upon her at last that what
he had said was literally true, that
she had misiudged an extraordinary
man altogether, as many people did
and that she was indeed the only
woman in the whole world who could
master and dominate one whom many
feared and hated, and whom she had
herself once detested beyond words.
While these thoughts were disturb

AMENDMENT IS DtffATtD
Alabama Returns Majority Of 10000
AGAINST Prohibition Measure.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov 80. - The
people of Alabama declined to amend
the constitution SO as to include pro-
hibition therein, by about 10000 ma-
jority. The majorities were pro.
nounced In almost ever county, but
six or seven of the 81 counties re.
turned majorities in favor of the
amendment, and In each instance the
majority was small.
There was intense interest In the
election Women worked around the
polls In the large cities, serving cof.
fee to the watchers and workers as
well as sandwiches. Police and depu-
ties maintained order. The clear
weather brought out a big vote
throughout the state.
The election is taken as a rebuke
to the present state administration,
which worked hard for the amend
ment.

TAKES CARE OF WRIGHT
President 10 Name Tennesseean as
Lurton's Successor.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Luke T..
Wright OF Tennessee, who succeeded
William II. Taft as secretary of war
In the Roosevelt cabinet, will be
nominated for the position of Judge
in the Sixth judicial circuit to fill the
vacancy that will be created by the
elevation OF Horace II. Lurton to be
an associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States. While
official announcement of Mr.. Wright's
selection for nomination as a federal
judge Will be withheld until after
congress meets, it was learned in an
official quarter that Mr.. Wright has
been rendered the place and That he
has signitied his willingness to ac.
cept.
While Judge Lurton's nomination
will be reported favorably to the SEN
ate, certain senators say that the Sc
lection shows that the president has
departed from rule applied in his
administration In the matter OF ap-
pointments to the judiciary. Refer
ence is made particularly to the case
of w. e. Hale of Minneapolis, who
was a candidate for district Judge in
Minnesota. President Taft refused
to name him on account of his age.
Judge Hale Is about 62 years old
Judge Lurton is 65, and Is the Oldest
man ever selected for a place ON the
supreme bench.

Mystery Surrounding Recent Pur-
chases Of Ohio and Indiana Proper
tes by James Bradley, Jr, Ex-
piained at Meeting In Columbus
Between Committee of Five and
Toledo Promoter-Basis on Which
Division is to Be Made.
Columbus, o., Nov. 80. Mystery
surrounding the pouring of several
million dollars by unknown interests
into Ohio and Indiana for the pur.
chase of independent telephone
plants during the last few weeks was
cleared at a meeting of a committee
which has been working on plan
for the consolidation of plants not al
ready sold, and James S. Bradley, Jr.,
of Toledo, who some weeks ago
bought the Toledo, Cuyahoga and In.
dianapolis local companies and the
new Long Distance Company of In.
diana and the United States Indepen.
dent company OF ONO.
1t became known from inside
sources that the plan is to divide the
telephone business in this section of
the country, so that the independents
will take over the city' or local busi-
ness and the Bell people will assume
the long distance business. Where
the Bell is now competing with inde.
pendents in the cities, the Bell prop.
erty will be taken over on an ap.
praised valuation, and the Bell on
similar basis will take over indepen-
dent long distance lines. Double sets
of appraisers representing both par
ties in interest will fix the valua-
tions.
The independents have been prom
ised that the Bell long distance lines
not only will connect with them, but
will pay them a commission on bust.
ness given the long distance lines.
1t became known here that the Bell
interests have been losing in the
competition for local business and
were glad to get out of II, while on
the other hand the Independents had
found the fight for long distance busi-
ness costly and they were glad to be
relieved Of the burden. After the
meeting news of the proceedings was
put up to Bradley for confirmation.
He denied that a correct report had
been given out, and declared the pro.
posal to divide the business as out.
lined was merely dream.

said he will oppose any plan for
merger of Independent and Bell lines,
