DENTISTS MEET
IN GULF CITY

Mobile, May 12.-(Special.)-Th Alaba-
ma Dental association spent the morning
in demonstrations of clinical work and
also mechanical and chair work. In the
afternoon there was a lengthy discussion
of a proposed bill to go before the state
legislature to control the practice of
dentistry. One point of difference be-
tween the bill and the old Alabama den
tai law is that the bill requires cand-
dates to be graduates of some reputable
dental college or to have had the adj
vantage of three years course in dem
tistry in some good school,
The bill was finally left in the hands
Of the committee on legislation with in
structions to employ legal authorities and
make such changes as are necessary,
but If they found the bill would have to
be torn to pieces in revising it, to re-
port 1t back to the next session of the
association, In 1911.
The night session resolved itself into an
other oral hygienic conference.
Tomorrow the dentists will enjoy a
trip down Mobile bay.
The report of the dental examiners and
of special committees with installation
of officers will be the most important
features Of the programme tomorrow
night.

NOTHING NEW IN
BRIBERY SCANDAL

Chicago, May 12.-Todays grand jury
Investigation Of the so-called Lorimer
legislative bribery scandal elected no new
confessions but evoked a brief disserta-
ton by Representative Thomas German
OF Peoria on the scant reward of legisla-
tive work.
German was asked to confirm a report
that Robert E. Wilson, the democratic
representative FROM Chicago, who is al
Jack pot fund at st. Louis, called upon
German of Peoria within the last few
days.
Wilson called on me, all right said
German. I'm not ashamed to admit It,
Peoria is something like Chicago in be-
ing q general stopping place; legislators
usually get of the train there for time
That's how Wilson came to call on me-"
The first republican state representa-
tive to be called before the grand jury
was C. r. Black of Feoria.
Representative Thomas n. German of
Peoria, a democrat, who voted for Lori
mer. and State Senator John Daley, a
republican. also of Peoria, have been
summoned. Daley was in conference
with States Attorney Wyrnan tor half
an hour, but left the criminal court build
ing without going before the inquisitors.
Upon leaving the criminal court build
ing Senator Daley said he had assured
Mr.. Wyman that he had no knowledge OF
any irregularity in securing votes for
Lorimer. and that he did not expect to
be called before the grand jury.
Senator Daley was chief of the forces
of Senator Hopkins, who was defeated
for reelection by Senator Lorimer. and
made a vigorous speech at that time de-
bouncing the combination which sent
Lorimer to the upper house at Wash.
