Birmingham. Ala, Dec. limited
States Senator Joseph F. Johnston,
of Alabama. this afternoon issued the
following statement on the effect of
Tuesdays defeat of the prohibition
amendment in Alabama: -,
'"The election determined that the
men of Alabama did not wish to
write into their constitution police
measures, nor surrender rights they
have expressly reserved.
ut does not mean the return Of
the saloons, nor any backward step
in public morals.
1T means that Alabama is con.
servative and not to be shaken OF

peals."

DR.. P. A. Baker, national superin-

upon the defeat of the prohibition
amendment In Alabama, yesterday.
said:
There came to us today news Of
seeming hindrance in the onward
march of our cause in the defeat Of
the prohibition amendment in Ala

feat for prohibition. There are thou
sands of men In Alabama who be-

it at the polls. who, nevertheless,
would not vote to have it put into

you may be sure that the prohibition

J.. With Bigamy

Dresden, Tenn, Dec. 1.-While the
sheriff of the county was breaking in
to the room where Everett Hynds
and his young bride of one week lay

Of bfgamy. Hynds shot himself
through the heart with revolver and
fek9 dead across the body of his wife,
the blood from his wound gushing

This afternoon Sheriff Brassfield re-
ceived warrant from Fulton, Ky.,
charging Hynds with bigamy. it being
alleged that he hao wife living in
that county. Learning that Hynds
and his wife we're spending the night
at the home of Ed. Alexander. rela-
tive. three miles IRON Dresden, he
went out there after supper to serve
it, and bring the young man to Jail.
1t was about II o'clock when he reach
ed the Alexander house, and finding
out which room the Hynds couple
occupied, he went to the door and
knocked.
who's there?" asked young Hynds.
Sheriff Brassfield," was the reply.
What do you want?" asked Hynds.
II want you. have warrant for
your arrest on a charge of bigamy."
"You can't come in here" said
Hynds.
With this Sheriff Brassfeld began
to throw his weight against the door
to force 1t open.

word with my wife," called out young
Hynds, who by this time was out Of
bed.
Wife Was Half Daxed.
The sheriff made one more lunge
and the door flew open. AS it did so,
the revolver, placed at the young
mans heart, cracked, and his body
fell across the bed In which his wife
lay, half dazed by what was happen
ing. In rising, he had thrown the
cove- from the bed, and his warm
blood ran In q stream over her robe
and covered the bed with its read.
Brassfield returned to town at once
to notify the coroner. leaving behind
him scene of wailing as II the ban
shees had possession of the Alexan-
der home. The bride did not know
what 1t was all about, and the men,
bers of the Alexander family were

Of the lower house. All the members
