Senator Lorimer on Thin Ice

The truth is coming out in Illinois.
Two members of the Illinois legislature
have already confessed that they cast
purchased votes for Lorimer for United
States senator. The price of a vote on
that occasion was $1,000, and the hone
is that grand juries sitting at Spring
field and Chicago will be able to ascer-
tain Just how many votes were pur-
CT ased.
The members who confess at the begin
ring of the investigation will be granted
immunity from punishment, and addi-
tional confessions are anticipated. There
is an inclination to leave the sinking
ship of graft, and the grand juries in
session this week afford to all legislators
implicated opportunities to escape pun
ishment
Illinois is deeply moved by the con-
fessions of Legislators Brown and VIII

Admission showing Fine Spirit

Admission is taking on new life, said
w. F. Mccartney, editor Of the Admission
Hot Blast, who is here to attend the
grand lodge meeting of the Alabama Odd
Fellows Recently there has been devel-
oped in Admission a fine spirit of co-opera-
ton, and II Is this that promises to get
us very substantial results
I'VE have organized one hundrea club,
patterned after the Five Hundred club
of Birmingham. and it has so Tar been
very successful. The prominent men of
the city are getting together on all prop
ositions, and as a result Admission is be-
ginning TO take the place she rightly de-
serves among the states municipalities.
with our natural advantages and the
Industries which we have there is no rea-
son why Admission should not have fore
most place, and we intend to see that she
has 1t and keeps 1t.
After ALL it is cooperation which gets
results for any city. and to those of us
who have Annistons future so much at
heart It is very gratifying to see the
civic spirit that has recently developed

Putting Up Railway Rates

The western railroads have filed new
freight rate schedules showing increases
of from 10 to 20 per cent. and it is gen
orally believed the eastern and southern
railroads will do likewise very soon.
While some believe this is but a prepara
tory step to the acceptance of national
supervision under the pending railroad
bill, yet the railroads say that bill has no
relation to the increases in question.
The railroads claim that increases in
wages are logical result of the in
creased cost of living. If freight rates
are increased 10 per cent the railroads
would collect s1s2, 100000 additional If
they are increased Is per cent they would
gather in additionally s27o0Oo.Ooo An in
crease of 10 per cent in wages calls for
an outgo OF an additional sum of s1o7.-
100000 in wages An increase of per
cenl WouIu call Tor Dut half that amount.
1t will thus be seen that the railroads
are demanding from the people an ex-
cessive sum. ...
AS rule the railroads are prosperous.
| Dividends of many roads have recently
been increased, and the filing of new
freight rate schedules will certainly. un-
der such circumstances, be carefully
scrutnized. Many of the new rates on
the western railroads become effective
June l. and then they will certainly be
discussed freely. While the railroads will
claim they need higher rates in order to
make both ends meet, the public will
claim. no doubt, that the increases are
too large and in many cases are wholly
! unwarranted.

Chiefs Of Police In Birmingham

From all parts of this country and
from Canada. as well as the guardians
of the peace, the keen sleuths of the
law have come to meet in convention in
this city Several hundred delegates are
expected and the annual gathering prom
ises to be one of the brightest of a long
series
While there will be time for social
features yet the convention has pro-
gramme of business that relates to seri-
Gus work, and beginning today that pro-
gramne will be taken up and worked
out.
Birmingham welcomes the chiefs to the
sunny south. This district with all its
resources of raw materials-of coal. iron
ore and lmestone-should be placed be-
fore them, and no doubt trip Around
the Horn will be included in the list of
entertainments. Scarcely any convention
has ever met here that is more represen-
tstive of the cities of the land than is
the one made up of the cities chiefs.

as rescuers and after 1t was over they
demanded pay Of $40 a day from the
company for their work. Food was
scarce but many people went to the

PLAN OF ACTION TO
IDENTIFY BRIBERS

Chicago, May "a plan of action to es-
tablish the identity of persons. who furn-
ished money to legislators in the sena-
'toral contest was mapped out here late
today in a conference between Attorney
General Stead and States Attorney Way
man. The conference followed the con-
cluson of the session of the day of the
grand jury and lasted several hours.
Representative H. L. Wheelan, dem
ocrat who voted for William Lorimer for
senator was before the grand jury nearly
all afternoon and will be questioned
again tomorrow. State Senator John
Broderick, democrat, was called to the
criminal court building today as a wit
ness in the investigation but did not go
before the grand jury. He was told to
return tomorrow.
Representatives William Murphy.
James O'Toole nd.Charles Naylor. all
democrats of Chicago, were witnesses
today. They said they had not voted
bribery of legislators.
William J. Henley, former vice pres
ident of the Chicago and Western In
diana Railroad company. arrived here
today from Indianapolis, prepared to
furnish 100000 bond to answer the
charge of embezzlement of $2S,o0O con-
tanned in an indictment returned here
last week.
MIR. Henley spent the greater part OF
the day before going into court Il,

HILLMAN HOSPITAL
GRADUATES

Seven trained nurses graduated at the
Hillman hospital last night Beautifully
gowned in white and carrying bouquets
of sweet peas, tied with blue ribbon, the
graduation services of the class OF 1910
was one of the prettiest in the history
of the institution. There were $50 guests
present IN the large amphitheatre on the
third floor of the hospital, where the ex-
ercises took place.
The graduates were Miss Mamie Haw-
thorne, Miss Evelyn Peryear Miss Sue
Pearl Treadwell, Miss Alberta CHM, Miss
Mabelle Northrope. Miss Blanch Roberts.
and Miss Lilly Ethel Martin.
The large room was decorated in pink.
white and green with large ferns and
palms scattered about in profusion. The
class address was delivered by DR.. R. NJ.
Cunningham. Miss Hawthorne read the
yaledictory, DR.. L. F. Luckie sang a solo,
and Miss Peryear sang a solo entitled,
Goodbye, Dear Girls. Goodbye" A
three-piece orchestra gave several selec-
tons which were greatly enjoyed.
The services were opened with prayer
by the Rev. DR.. Minnie. The class pins
diplomas were presented by Job Going.
After the henediction by the Rev. Mr..
Mooney, a luncheon was served on the
porch of the hospital, where the crowd of
guests gathered about tables decorated
with pink carnations and rose buds and
enjoyed a delightful banquet.
The oath which the trained nurse takes
upon her graduation is beautiful in its
meaning. The oath solemnly taken last
n oil nv he 1aHee vvbo q o
consecrated their lives to one of the most
noble OF professions, is as follows: II do
solemnly swear by what I hold most
sacred that / will be loyal to any physi-
clan under whom | serve as a good SOL
der is loyal TO his superior officer.
will be generous to all lady members of
my profession, aiding them whenever it
is possible for me to do So That what
soever house I shall enter it shall be for
the good of the sick to the utmost of my
ability. / shall hold myself aloof from
all temptation. I shall keep as sacred
whatsoever l see or hear of the lives of
men or women. whether my patients are
members of their household or not I
shall so be as to elevate the standard of
my profession and bring only credit to my
school,
Miss Ollie d. Holt, pho is now superin-
tendent of the hospital was a graduate
| only a year ago. She has proven her abil-
| ity as trained nurse, as is shown by the
| position she holds and she is well liked
| by every member of the institution. She

julius Caesar Burrows Amendment

The leaders of the party that is believed
to have spent s16oooooo of corporation
money in 1896. naturally are not willing
to publish campaign contributions before
election. The time of publication is now
the chief issue in the fight over the pub
lcity bill. The bill as it was passed by
the House calls for the publication of all
contributions and expenditures 10 days
before an election. The Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections, of which
julius Caesar Burrows is chairman. has
reported back the bill with an amend
ment striking out the ante-electon pro-
vision of the bill and requiring the pub
LEGATION of contributions and expenditures
within 10 days after an election is over.
This would simply he locking of the
stable door after the horse had been
stolen, and this amendment is the real
issue The Burrows amendment will be
opposed by the democrats and by most
of the insurgents, while the regular AL
drich crowd will uphold it.
AS the bill passed the House it pro-
vides that contributions should be dis
closed not more than Is, nor less than 10,
days before election. If corporation
contributed 100000 that fact would thus
be made known in every state before
votes are cast The term political COM
mittee" used in the bill, includes both
national and congressional committees.
Every such committee must have a chair
man and treasurer, and that the latter
must keep a detailed and exact account
of all money or its equivalent received
by or promised to the committee or any
person or corporation from which
ceived, also all expendi ures and prom
ises of payment or disbursement made
by any member of the committee.
Every payment made by the committee
In excess of $40 must be evidenced by a
-eceipted bill, stating particulars and
every record and account must be pro-
served for Is months after the election to
which 1t relates.
Within not more than 10 nor less than
70 days before an election the committee
treasurer must file an itemized statement
with the clerk of the House. showing the
name and address of each firm or person
who has contributed over 500 the total
sum contributed in amounts less than
t10o the total sum of all contributions,
and the name and address of every per-
aon to whom more than $40 has been paid.
The Burrows amendment aims to make
all publication of contributions a post
election matter thereby defeating the
chief object of the bill. The democrats
and insurgents should stand firmly by the
House bill.

In the discussion of the causes of the
recent mine explosions, l have been sur
prised that no one, as / believe, has hit
upon the real cause of such disasters,
said a we'll known Albanian. I'm brief,
my idea is this: Rooms in the mines that
have been worked out and abandoned are
usually 'brattiched' up-that is, cut OFT
from the air of the balance of the opera
tons Fire damp or gas. as matter OF
course accumulates in these old rooms,
where no one goes, and at the fatal mo-
ment is ignited, and we then know the
rest serious defect In mines operating
on what are known as 'gassy' seams, is
the woeful deficiency of air. While the
air courses may come up to the mine In
spectors requirements, we all know that
with an abundance of air there can be no
gas The blame of windy Shots laid to
the miners door would never be heard of
If there were a proper amount of air. In
my opinion. the mystery made of dust ex-
plosions Is folly. II costs money to venti-
late mine sufficiently to overcome the
gas and mine operators touch lightly on
this subject. Sooner or later. however.
the terrible and appalling loss of life will
force ventilation at any cost-then the
explosions will cease. is- ...
