TIE SLEEPING VOLCANOES OF
CENTRAL AFRICA

1t Is not very generally known that
right in the heart of Africa, at the
southern end Of Lake Albert Ed
ward, Is a great range of volcanoes.
They are eight in number, and.
though IL is true that, unlike Ruwen-
zori, they carry no permanent snow
the highest peak is over fourteen
thousand feet in height. These vol
canoes are particularly interesting on
account of their comparative 'newness
Running through the middle of Afri-
ca there is a trench many hundred
miles long, in which lie the great
lakes Albert, Albert Edward. Klvu,
and Tanganyika.
Not very many thousands of years
ago the volcanoes, generally called
Mfumb'ro, burst up through the mid
die of this trench and made a dam
across II, with the result that some
of the water, which formerly flowed
into Lake Albert Edward and 80 into
the Nile, was cut off and a lake was
formed behind the dam. AS time went
on the waters in the lake, which is
now called Kivu, rose higher and
higher until not being able to flow
over the barrier of the volcanoes
they formed the Rusisi River which
runs the other way into Tanganyika,
about a hundred miles distant. OF
the eight volcanoes only two show
signs of activity at the present time,
in the form of thin wisps of steam
which may occasionally be SEEN, but
a vast plain of lava, with a wide
black stream curling through Its

BOMBS AND BALLOTS.

Violent expressions by two of En-
glands leading militant suffragettes
indicate tLat the coming election will
be frauyht with the greatest excite
ment and danger and an attempt will
b, made wherever possible to des-
troy ballot boxes. Mrs. Despard OF
the Wo mans Freedom League, says.
I'VE will make voting impossible"
Miss Chrstobel Pankhurst of the Ma
tional woman's Social and Policical
Union says with equal candor: "Our
enemies. the men, have paid us the
compliment of wondering at our in
genuity Ia militant tactics. We will
show them before the coming general
election is over that they have not
guessed .he extent of our resources
for trouble making"
The voters of England have had
fair warning OF what these desperate
ladies intend TO attempt. They are
contemplating a crime which, II plot
ted by men. would lead 90 the mos,
revolutionary consequences aud alter
the present mode Of conducting an
election IN Great Britain. Soldiers and
uolicem n would, If necessary, sur
round the polls The suffragettes de-
clare they have found an improvs
ment upon the corrosive acid bomb,
with which they destroyed many bal
lots at a recent special election al
Bermonlesy and nearly blinded an
election officer. They have discovered
that in order ID commit successful
crime they must have men for ac-
completes, and while they regard
good men as enemies, they are will
ing to league themselves with bad
ones. They have enlisted the services
of a large number Of men who have
pledged themselves 20 throw bombs
inside the polling booths 20 which OF
course. the women will not gain ad-
mission. The question naturally aris-
es What kind of citizens would
sudrugcttes make, II they did have
the ballot?" Violent, interruptions and
fanatical. they would stop at nothing
10 accomplish their ends.
Mrs Despards organization is con.
sidered the worst fighters in London
and the authorities are wondering to
what extremes 1t will go, in view OF
the declaration that it will make
voting impossible" The suffragettes
will concentrate their efforts in the
districts where the nominees, mostly
Liberals, have shown themselves hos
tile to the women's movement. Thus
in way the suffragettes are doing
what th,y can TO aid the party that
is in favor OF continuing the domina-
ton Of the House of Lords. But 1t is
quite possible that the hostility of
the suffragettes to the Liberals will
help that party with the voters, many
of whom must be heartily tired Of the
threats and furious methods Of the
female agitators.

BECOME VERY
INDIGNANT
Beet Sugar Concerns Deny
They are Controlled by
by the Trust.
BY United Press Wire.

Bay City, Mich, Dec. 2S-Oficials
of the Michigan sugar beet concerns
are today denying Indignantly the
statements of Judson C. Welliver ~
Hampton's magazine to the effect
that they are owned by sugar trusts
Speaking for tho German American
Sugar Company of this place and the
Owosso Sugar company of Owosso,
Carmen N. Smith, an officer of both,
said today:
"Mr. Welliver is misinformed as to
the elimination of the negotiations
which were carried on between tho
representatives of the American
Sugar Refining company and the
companies in 1903. 1t is true that the
trust made an effort to secure a con-
trolling interest ir the factories, or
at least working agreement, but the
local men would have nothing to do
with the deal. The companies men
toned are absolutely Independent of
the trust"
In Detroit, President Charles B..
Warren, of the Michigan Sugar Com
pany, declared that Welliver the
author of the article, is a paid en-
ploy of the Speckels Sugar company
which desii es free sugar to break
down the American Beet Sugar in
dustry. He pointed out further that
the American Sugar company's in
terests ere similar to those on the
Spreckels, so that anything that will
help the latter will help the trust In
the long run, despite the cry of tho
wolf.

TOO ToRRID FOR TOLEDO

The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady
now pastor of a Kansas Episcopal
charge, has won rank with Eleanor
Glyn and other loted modern writer's
by having his latest book, "The Is
land Of Regeneration" excluded from
the public library of Toledo, Ohio
The rebuSe is all the more cutting on
account of the fact that Mr.. Brady
was for nerly rector of old Trinity
Episcopal parish in Toledo.
The reason given for the exclusion
Of the story by the library authori-
ties was: "The book panders too
much to the sensational. The illustra-
tions alone would do enough TO con-
denim IT,"
Counting the cover piece, says .
Toledo dispatch, the illustrations
number four and deal with unadorned
humanity in a luxurious setting OF
tropic glory. The Island Of Regenera-
tion is a torrid place, and the drama
staged upon It by the minister-author
deals with the problems Of sex and
conventions, as they appear to Mr..
Brady. Many OF his stories have here
to-fore heen very popular with boys
and girls, but this one stands a good
chance OF making a great hit with
'grown ups'. When a book is exclud-
ed from public library in a large
city. manv worthy persons want T.

a competent jude OF morality and
really knew what was bad for the
soul. We hone Mr.. Brady did not let

Resign ~ Governor.

Birmingham, July 4.-(Special.)--
Politics will buzz in Birmingham this
week. politics that will affect not only
the State. but the entire country.
The lawyers OF Alabama. who usually
mingle in politics. will gather here In
convention and while nothing will be
said or done in political way in the
sessions proper. there is likely to be
q number of conferences and candi-
dates for various ofices. from United
States Senator and Governor down,
will probably cast an eye to the wind
ward.
In almost all political campaigns.
1t is set out, the lawyer is found to be
a leader. The men who are expected
to be in Birmingham are leaders in
their respective vicinities, and the po-
litical situation OF the State will most
likely be discussed.
Hon. H. s. D. Mallory of Selma.
Judge s. D. Weakley, Emmett O'Neal
and others. are members of the State
Association and will be here. These
men are prominently mentioned for the
gubernatorial nomination. II Is not
improbable that some dark horses will
come out in the open and the cam
paign will be precipitated earlier than
is figured.
The FIRST ana second place in the
OIdtS Will DC QASSuSSCNs
ing the week. DR.. John L. Parker,
the Birmingham druggist, appears to
want to be Lieutenant-Govern he
has about made up his mind to run for
the ONCE, say his friends. Hon. E. p.
Thomas of Eufaula will probably be a
candidate.
There will be some discussion dur
ing the week as to the United States
Senatorship There has been a rumor
for some time that Governor Conner has
his eye on the seat occupied by Sena-
tor Bankhead. The Governors resig.
nation from his present position has
been intimated by politicians in this
section, the pulse of the next Legisla-
lature being sounded ahead of time.
In reference to the Senatorial stu
alton, 1t is believed that the extra ses-
sion of the Legislature will tend to
bring out the real conditions and prove
the truth or falsity of the rumors anent
the Governor and the Senatorship.
Should the Governor resign to stand
for election a year later to the United
States Eenatorship, the placing OF
Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray
the Birmingham banker. in the Chief
Executives once might bring 1t about
that the latter may be in the race for
the Governorship for a full term. Mr..
Gray is very quiet in regard to the
Governorship, not saying whether he
is a candidate or not for the guberna-
torial office.

MzzEER PATRONAGE ON SUNDAY
WAS LARGE.

Legal Right To Open--FuneraI
of Mr. Baarn.

Pensacola, Fla. July 4--(Special.) ~
For the first time In the history of the
city. moving picture and vaudeville
shows were in full operation here this
Afternoon and tonight, the moral wave
Of few weeks ago having complete
~ disappeared.
No attempt was made to stop the
shows or arrest the managers or any
OF the employees. Last Sunday. one of
the places opened up and showed NOV
ing pictures of a religious character.
The arrest of the manager by the po-
lice was made and he was wfven q
hearing, with the result that the Re-
corder, after going through the or
dinances, found there is no city law
against vaudeville shows or any class
of amusements of that character, even
though admission is charged, so the
manager was discharged.
This caused all of the shows TO open
today, as well as those on the bay
shore, and thousands visited them du-
ring the evening.
The county officials. who have here
fofore enforced the blue laws OF the
State very rigidly. gave no fntimation
that arrests would be made.
Following the opening OF the picture
shows, Rev. DR.. Thomson, OF Fort
Worth. Tex, General Manager OF the
Sunday League of America, delivered q
strong talk tonight at the Presbyterian
Church, which was attended by congre.
cations OF many other churches. His
address was on Sunday observance. and
how the Sabbath should be spent.
