JEFFERSON IS PRAISED

New York, April 13.-The letter of
William ]. Bryan, written from Bra
zil and read tonight before the demo-
Gratis who attended the jefferson Day
banquet here and those at a similar
function in Indianapolis, the letter
which caused a commotion among the
:ocal banquet committeeman at It's
initial reading because of what some
of them termed it's unorthodox doc
trine, is as follows: :"
81 thank you for the invitation to
the jefferson Day banquet. While I
shall not return to the United States
In time to attend, 1 can join with you
in spirit the more heartily because OF
what 1 have learned by visiting other
countries. 1 have seen everywhere the
influence eXerted by his teachings. In
the nation in which | am Just now So
journing find illustrations of his idea
of conquest. He contended that we
should conquer the world with our
Ideals rather than with our arms, and
in this sense, we are effecting a con-
quest of Brazil Her constitution is
modelled after ours; she had copied
from us the federal system of govern
ment which united local control of
local affairs with national supremacy !,
her flag, like ours. has a star for
each state and her school system Is
being made to conform more and more
to ours. These victories, too, cement
friendship instead of arousing enmity
Hail to Jefferson, the worlds school
master, whose views continue their ma
jestic march around the earth.
But in our country as we'll as abroad
his Drinpin1aS MINIMIZING He
taught that the art of government is
the art of being honest, and each new
investigation proves the folly of those
who refuse to learn of him.
HE was the foe of monopoly in
every FORM, and his name Is the one
which can with most propriety be in
volxed when the trusts are attacked
and when a contest isl being waged for
the application of the principles OF
popular government.
. Il am so far away from home that
I am not fully informed as to the re-
cent events, but I have just read of
one Jeffersonian victory, namely, the
selection of an investigating commit
tee by the House instead of by the
speaker and better still, each party
selected it's members of the commit
tee. This establishes an important pre-
cedent. which, If followed, will make
Investigations real and effective.
IT notice also that we seem like
ly to win a victory against the meat
trust. Monopoly prices at last have
evoked a popular protest and now that
the people are looking for a remedy
there Is hope that they will accept
the democratic party. 1t is not I'M
natural that they should use the boy
colt, even If they punish themselves.

Pullman Shot in Hip But Makes Es-

Securing Walker County for
the Assnssins

Oakman, April 13-(special)- 1.-THE ex-
IRENE lawlessness of a certain element
which has repeatedly given much trouble
in Walker county was again made man
ifest today about noon when United
States Deputy Marshal w A Anderson
and Chief of Police T. H. Pullman of
Oakman were fired upon from ambush
by unknown parties near Gurganous set
tlement, 10 miles south OF Oakman.
Anderson was killed outright. He was
shot only once, but the bullet, fired from
a Winchester rife, penetrated vital spot
and the death of the deputy marshal is
supposed to have been instantaneous.
Pullman was shot in the hip, but the
wound, while serious. is not considered a
dangerous one
Deputy Marshal Anderson, accompanied
by Deputies Smith and Montgomery. came
to Oakman yesterday and the three fed
eral officers made a raid in Gurganous
settlement. They located a still and Sc
cured quite a quantity of whisky and
beer. w. N. Gurganous was arrested and
was taken to Jasper, where he was COM
mitted to jail on charge of violating
the revenue law, the specific charge being
that of illicit distilling. as4-s. : e,
Anderson, accompanied by Officer Putt
man, started back to Gurganous settle
ment this morning. expecting to locate
more whisky and to make additional ar
rests.
The 1.-TWO men were driving along the
road in a buggy and as they were pass
ing the old Fairview church they were
fired upon from behind trees by three
men armed with winchester rifles. When
the shooting began Anderson leaped out
on one side of the buggy and Pullman
on the other. AS soon as they had alight-
ed the second firing began. Anderson
was killed and Pullman was wounded In
the hip.
Not satisfied with the murder of An
derson the bushwhackers followed Putt
man as he fed. They pursued him some
distance but he eventually succeeded In
throwing them off OF his trail and
reached Oakman late this afternoon on
horseback. having borrowed the horse
from a farmer.
. II is understood that the horse driven
by Anderson and Pullman was also shot
and killed.
The body OF Anderson will be brought
to Oakman tonight.

on their oppressors, but I am sure they
will in the end find legislation more
satisfactory that abstenance from meat
and join with Bthe democrats in declar-
ing a private 'monopoiy-not the meat
trust only, but every private monopoly
-indefensible and intolerable.
But there is another item of news
which has Just come to my attention.
President Taft in his. Lincoln speech
at New York, February ~, attribut-
utes the present high prices mainly
to the Increase in the production OF
gold and the consequent enlargement
of the volume of money. This un-
expected Endorsement of our partys
proposition in 1896. when we demand
ed more money as the only remedystfor
falling prices Is very gratifying. How
valuable that admission would have
been to us If 1t had been made dur
ing the campaign of that year when
the republican leaders were denying
that the volume of money had any in
f1uence on prices and asserting that it
did not matter VIII ether we had much
money or little, provided it was all
gold
1--WE may now consider the quan-
titative of money established beyond
dispute and proceed to the considera-
ton of other questions. But the Pres
ident and his predecessor have admit
ted the correctness of the democratic
position on so many questions that
further argument is hardly necessary
on any subject we may now take judg-
ment against the republican party by
confession.

At the Marshsl,s onlce

1t was stated last night at the office
of United States Marshal P. M. Long
in the federal building here, that every
effort would be exerted to capture the
murderers of Deputy Anderson and the
assailants of Chief Pullman. 1t was stat
ed that Sheriff Long of Walker county
a brother of the United States marshal
already has three posses out securing
Walker county for the murderers, and II
is stated that the better people of the
community are greatly incensed over the
occurrence. Marshal Long will leave Bir-
mingham this morning with a posse of
five or six of his deputies. ma
Revenue Agent Suber of Atlanta ar
rived in Birmingham last night and he
will also go to Oakman, taking with
him a number of his men.
1t is the intention of the federal Off
GERS to conduct a most stringent investi-
cation of the shooting and 1t Is very
probable that quite a number of arrests
will be made today.
Deputy Anderson worked from the Bir-
mingham office of the United States mar
shall and was one of the most popular
men in the secret service here. -
The crime which occurred yesterday Is
not the first of its kind in Walker coun-
ty The wild-catters in the remote Sec
lions OF the county, which adjoins JEFF
