Bonds Favored
For Pure Water
Assembly Favors Issue If
Filtration Plan Is
Satisfactory.

A further issue of bonds, if that
is necessary, foraSthe completion Of a
alteration plant for the water works
of the city of Wheeling, will be APP
proved by the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly. Not because
Assembly likes the bonds, as bonds,
sbut it believes that the working class
+ of Wheeling are as much entitled to
PURE water as the manufacturing
and business interests are to MUCH
water, and now that the Board Of
Cenrol and Council has arranged
everything satisfactorily for the BUSH
ness and manufacturing interests and
guaranteed a SUFFICIENCY of wa
ter, the Assembly is willing to see
more money spent, If necessary, to
guarantee for the poor man who can
not buy water, a QUALITY of water.

TO CAUSE
SOUTH CAROLINA FIGHT

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 10.-When the
legislature OF South Carolina convenes in
annual session Tuesday the foremost topic
of discussion will be the liquor question.
Some thought that when the legislature
at its last session passed a bill referring
the question to the people of the several
counties for decision on a county local
option basis, the fight was ended for
the time at least. But. the prohibitionists
basing their fight on the proposition that
an overwhelming number of counties op-
posed the sale of whisky, will renew
their battle for a statewide law.
Last year the fight was bitterly con-
tested and for days the legislature was
tied up. first by a filibuster against the
bill, and then by the prohibitionists' decla-
ton that they would stay in session un-
til some satisfactory law was enacted.
Then. after the bill had passed the
house and the senate appeared deadlock
ed. compromise was offered. The meas
ure calling for a vote by counties was
passed.

FOREST SERVICE IS
RAPED BY WOOL MEN

OGDEN, Utah. Jan. lO-"Tariff tink-
ering" and the forest service admins
tration are condemned in resolutions
submitted to the National Wool Growers
convention here Saturday.
On the subject of forest reserves the
resolutions say:
1.-The regulation of the forestry service,
which our experience has taught us are
established more on theory than knowl-
edge, have worked untold hardships and
annoyance to our industry and have been
productive of severe but just criti-
cism of the forest service administra-
ton.
I'VE insist upon equal consideration
with the forestry officials in the man
agement of forest reserves.
I'VE condemn the practice of the for
estry service In imposing burdensome
fines without giving the party fined a
trial before a court of competent juris-
diction."

BODY TO WATCH OUT
FOR IMMIGRANTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O-A new organiza-
ton, the object of which is to protect
immigrants coming into this country
from petty frauds and impositions, has
recently been formed in this city. with
John Hays Hammond as chairman and
Frank A. Vanderlip, Jacob A. Riis and
other prominent men as his associates.
The society, which will be known, for
the present, as the New York League
for Immigrants, will attempt ultimately
to put into effect a plan for a wider dis
tribution of aliens, particularly through
out the west so as to relieve congestion
in Manhattan. It's first task will be TO
perfect a system by which it can keep
track Of all the immigrants who leave
New York for inland points. Especial
care is to be taken in tracing the destina-
ton of unmarried immigrant girls.

TRAFF|CKERs IN VICE
ROUTED BY ROCKEFELLER

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-Syndicated white
slavery is under fire here today. In the
grand jury room District Attorney Whit
man asked the investigators of the traf-
fic to find indictments against certain
individuals, who. he is satisfied, are lead
ers in the business.
1t is believed that the searching in
vestigation undertaken by John ID.
Rockefeller Jr.. as foreman of the grand
jury has already proceeded far enough to
show not only that an organized white
slave traffic really exists but that there
are close relations between traffickers
in women in the principal cities of tlIe
country.
Ownership of many Illicit resorts in this
city is being traced through title COM
panies and it is currently reported that
one man or syndicate has been found to
own several such places here. Outside
investigation is under way to trace the
affiliations of the reputed syndicate

FOUR INDIAN OFFICIALS
John D. Benedict and Three
Supervisors Are Suspended
in Oklahoma
(By Associated Press. }

WASf1 NOTION, Jan. 10.-Secretary Bal

day suspended from office Superintendent
John d. Benedict, of the five civilized
tribes of Oklahoma, and three supervisors
as the result of an investigation which
has disclosed ''disgraceful condition. >
affecting the material and moral welfare
of the schools.
The inquiry by the interior department,
which has been proceeding for some time,
was entered into because of reports charg-
ing the officials already suspended as
we'll as others. with activities thought i'm
proper for government employees.
The suspended supervisors are Calvin
Ballard, of the Choctaw schools, at Nc
Alester; Frederick H. Umholtz, of the
Chickasaw schools, Ardmore. and Walter
Falwcll, of the Creek schools, at Musko-
gee. The four men will DE allowed to
make answer to the secretary of the in
terror.
MIXED BUSINESSES.
From the report. it appears that Super
intendent Benedict is connected with GER
tain business interests in Oklahoma which
have more or less business with the In
dams. which relationship, it was believ-
ed, was incompatible with his service Is
superintendent. He has permitted the
schools, it was reported, to fall into a
disgraceful condition, and the supervisors
have neglected their duties in the enforce
nent of school contracts and in matters
affecting the material and moral condi-
tions surrounding the conduct of the
schools.
Oscar H. Lipps, of the Indian office,
supervisor of Indian schools who was
sent to Oklahoma with the charges, no
tilted the department today of his ar
rival and that he has relieved Superin-
tendent Benedict pending the result of the
investigation.
Superintendent Benedict has been con-
nected with the Indian service for ten
years.
Secretary Ballinger and Commissioner
Valentine, of the Indian office, announce
that the investigation of conditions sur
rounding the schools, although not con-
Quoted publicly, will be thorough, and
that the conduct of the officers respon-
sible for their present conditions will
be looked into most carefully.

the Morgan county court.
The case IS one of the most myster-
ious with which the courts Of this
county have ever had TO deal. and the
crime itself one OF the most horrible in
the criminal annals Of Alabama
The victims Of the tragedy, which oc-
CURED more than q year ago, were Tom

and two children The scene OF the
crime was the home of the Edmond
sons, at Woodland Mills, this county
The home and barn were burned, and
In their ruins were found parts of the
remains of EdmOndsons wife and two
children. but not the slightest trace Of
EdmOndson or his mother has ever been
found, which fact has LED TO a SUP
position that EdmOndsOn himself might
have been the murderer. and that he
and his mother escaped alive.
On the other hand. strong circum-
stantial evidence pointed to Clemmons
as the murderer. Immediately after the
discovery Of the crimes ClemmOnS was
taken into custody, and has been con-
fined in jail here ever since At his
