Trade is quiet as whole. and indus
trial operations are still below normal
in most lines. Conservatism in huyins
is still marked, and there is also pres
ent the feeling of diSapD ointment hith-
erto noted ut the failure of spring trade
to open up more rapidly. Some meas
ures of trade volume showed slight re-
cessfons in January from December,
but the failure record was an encOur-
aging one, and the improvement over
the same month a year ago, when bust
ness was at low ebb, is general and
marked. Collections are little changed
and classed as fair. as a whole.
The disposition in many lines is still
to attribute slownesS of demand in

but there is manifest now Il disposition
to recognize more fully the play of nat

high consequence to the country that
the statistical work of the census shall
be conducted with entire accuracy. This
is as important from the standpoint of
business and industry as from the SCI

my judgment. essential that the result
should not be open to the suspicion Of
bias on political and personal grounds
that it should not be open to the rea-
sOnable suspicion of being a waste Of
the peoples money and fraud.
section of the act provides in eff

shall be under the spoils system, for
this is the real meaning of the provis-

nOn-cOmpetitive examination. The pro

without regard to political party affil-

guarantee that they shall be selected

There is unquestionably large and
influential sentiment in favor Of pass

If the veto were overridden the bill
would. of course, remain as it is and

POLITICS RULES IN
NOTED MURDER TRIAL
Tennessee in Bitter Fight Over
Staying of Senator Edward
w. Carmack.
BRINGS STATE PROHIBITION.
Factions Line Up on Guilt of the
Accused Men and Battle viii
Be to the Finish.

Our State is passing through the
shadows. Her people are divided. We
have fallen into the habit of 6istrust,
suspicion and accusation" These words,
uttered feelingly by Governor NJ R.
Patterson of Tennessee in his second
inaugural address, had reference to the
trial of Colonel Duncan NJ. Cooper,
Robin Cooper and John Sharp, former
sheriff, who are charged with the MUIR
der of Edward W. Carmack, who repre-
sented his State six years in the Uni
ted States Senate. The sentiment
echoed back from every part Of the
State, and more than ever it focused
the mind and the thought of Tennessee
on the stirring drama that hes been
going on at Nashville. The trial Is
more than a battle for the forfeit or
saving of life. In the background is a
great political play, wherein the char
acters clash and tense feelings are at
odds. What the end may be nobody
knows, but into the words of Governor
Patterson here quoted are read not only
a statement Of fact, but a prophecy =
each watcher of the play his own
prophet.
By common consent it is agreed that
Statewide prohibition would not have
been brought about at this time if Car
mack, its most conspicuous champion,
had not fallen victim to the bullets of
man who had opposed him at his
cause. 1t was the Staying Of Carmack
that brought this unexpected climax TO
the bitterest fight the State lad ever
known. On Jan. u the Senate passed
by 20 to Is bill prohibiting the sale
of liquor within four miles of any
schOolhOuse in the State. The next day
the House Endorsed the same bill. 60 to
90. Governor Patterson vetoed the bill
and, with more pOsitiveness tLan be-
fore, each house voted to place it on
the statute books where it stands to-
day, effective July l next. Governor
Patterson gave as his reason for blue
penciling the measure that it was hos
tile to the doctrine of government
that it set aside the recorded will of

SENSATION IN LEGISLATURE.
Chicago Woman Attempts to Kill
Member in Springfield, III.

The woman who created a sensation
al scene in the State Capitol in Spring
field, H.. Thursday, threatening to kill
Representative Lee O'Neill Browne of
La Sale County, was arrested and ad-
mitted the affair had been planned by
Brownies enemies in the House. She
gave her name as Florence Miller and
claims to live in Chicago. Browne, who
is minority leader in the House, from
the first declared that the woman'S
threat to kill him was a political plot
The woman, who at first gave her
name as Ellen Chystye, was arrested in
Il rOOming house at 4th and Jefferson
streets in company with Michael Giblin
of Chicago, stenOgrapher for the minor
ity side. The pair will be held by the
local authorities pending investigation.
The woman says that the plot was
laid last October in the College Inn
Chicago She refuses to give the names
of the men who promised TO reimburse
her for her work. but says they are
prominent Democratic politicians.
She also admits she is the woman
who visited Browne in his office in OF
tawa last fall, and took poisson in
order to avoid arrest. To the police
she said: Il came to Springfield for
the purpose of running Browne political
ly. l was to do anything that would
bring nOtoriety to the Democratic
leader"
To those about the State House when
the attack was attempted the young
woman appeared to be very much in
earnest Il want to see Lee O'Neil
Browne" said she Il want to kill
him. Let me in
The angry words caused the door
keepers to act promptly, and as she
mounted the platform on the floor of
the Houses he was taken in charge by
Michael Giblin, stenographer of the mi
nority, and forced out of the hall. She
was hustled into an elevator and taken
to the ground floor. Her cries rent the
air and it was with difficulty that she
was taken out the east door Her cries
for aid attracted a large crowd and
Giblin hurried her two blocks from the
State House, where she was put in a
carriage and driven away.

the burdens of taxation and undermine
the public morals by making the people

can avoid it, any man addicted to the
use of intoXicants unduly.
