Funny thing, l talked to four
men in different departments of
the store and every one of them
liked the modified hobble styles.
They think they are effective.
They're bound to come, they all

But they'll be modified, so the
business woman can still walk to
business and the athletic girl Will
not have to cut her stride more
than half in two. Everything will
be modified, except the pocket

Everything in Harmony.

MURDOCH WHY
HE IS INSURGENT
Continued From Page One.)

THEY weighed the mail for seven
days and then divided by six in
Istead of seven to get the average
on which they collected. This
made a clear grab by the railways
of one-seventh of the bill. II
amounted to $5,000,000 year.
In the last 80 years it has stolen
thus over 100000.
Murdoch was startled when he
heard the story. He began inves-
tigating. The politicians told him
to let it alone. He went to Post
master General Cortelyou, and the
cabinet official told him there was
nothing to it. But the subordi-
mates told him there was, and he
went to Roosevelt.
Took 1t to Roosevelt.
eft can't be possible" said
Teddy. The president said he
would ask Cortelyou.
THAT won't do any good-you
ask the subordinates," said Muir
dock. BY keeping after it, MUIR
dock got an investigation start
ed and the grab was stopped. That
is one reason the postal deficit is
being reduced.
But Murdoch got no help from
the politicians in congress. They
all fought any attempt to throw
light on the case.
And that's when / began in
surging," said the Kansan to his
hearers last night.
The machine was protecting a
graft of 100000 on the part
of the railways, and when one
started to stop it the machine was
put in motion to protect the
grafters.
This was one of the features
of Washington congressional life
the speaker pictured. He showed
how everything that has been
done there was on the same scale.
How the grafters are always busy
How after the navy asked for
four submarines at $1,250,000
apiece the committee came out
with report for eight to benefit
the naval contractors.
He showed how pull aud privi-
lege and politics go hand in hand
in Washington for the robbery of
the nation and the skinnings of
the people, and he spoke from
personal experience in a manner
that was convincing and left no
chance for argument or bubbles.
He showed that Cannon has
been king, and he pointed out
his associates from the Bribing
Bill Lorimer of Illinois down the
line, including al 1.-The big corpor-
alton and special interest thieves
who hang around Washington
seeking special help to rob the
masses. The picture was vivid
and true to life, and the big crowd
went out of the house feeling that
it certainly was high time for a
shakeup in Washington that will
shelve the old bunch completely
and put in office some friends of
the people.
Mr.. Murdoch commended Poin-
dexter. He said he was man
who had been true, and one i'm
portant thing about him was he
was always in his seat. He was
on the job all the time.

CRACKERS MAKE
TWO NEW MOVES

Atlanta June z.-(special. AS fore
cast In The Age-Heraid, changes are
due in the Atlanta baseball team, two
being announced today, with others to
follow. Rogers, who has not been in the
best of condition, and who was recently
put on the ineligible list, is to be re-
instated, and will be eventually shot down
TO San Antonio.
Griffin who is now with San Antonio
where he has been pitching classy ball,
having recovered from sore arm, has
been recalled and is expected to be In
Atlanta ready for work on Saturday.
Atlanta intends to carry five pitchers
from this time on, and as Otto Jordan
will keep just thirteen men, 1t will be
seen that more changes must come in
the other departments Of the local team.
No official announcement Is yet au-
thorized, 80 1t Is up to the baseball ex-
pert to figure the next move made.

COW CASE TRIED
Dairyman Alleged That One Train
Killed Seven Cows

A judgment for $3.50 was rendered yes
terday against the labama Great South
ern railroad in one of the most UNIQUE
cases ever tried against local rail-
road.
The allegations were that the railroad
company named operated train several
months ago which ran over, manned
and killed a herd of seven cows.
Fuqua Bros, who operate dairy, all
legged that last fall while herd of their
stock was grazing a few miles below
Birmingham a southbound train over the
Alabama Great Southern ran into AMI
killed this number of cattle.
The railroads seldom go to court over
the killing of cattle, but as the attorneys
could not understand how seven cows
could be killed at one blow the case
was tried on It's merits
A negro in testifying yesterday gave
perhaps the most clarifying statement Of
the case when he said: 81 declare. boss,

And then came a telegram from john
sing addressed to Flanagan as man

to what really has transpired or will
come to pass.
Johnsing will reach Reno tomorrow
however and will make an explanation
it is probable. He will find all in readi-
ness for him, as Flanagan has really
given very satisfactory service in this
regard.
Betting on the big match is very slow.
Several small wagers were made today.

Gordon Hickman, the well known Bir-
mingham boy who is a pitcher on the
1inging staff of the Mobile club, was mar
ried last evening at st. Johns Methodist
church, to Miss Fannie Brooks. a popular
young lady of this city
The wedding ceremony was performed
with the members of the Mobile and Bir-
mngham teams grouped on the seats to
the front. Mr.. and Mrs. Hickman will
go to Mobile this morning, and will post
pone a honeymoon trip until after the
conclusion of the present season. s
Hickman pitched yesterdays game for
Mobile, and his is perhaps the only case
on record wherein bridegroom pitched
a game of baseball just previous to his
wedding hour. Manager Reed might have
known that Hickman would be ineffective,
for from far sweeter things than base
ball 1t was no doubt impossible for him
to draw back his thoughts.
When Hickman was at bat for the first
time during the game he was presented
with a silver tea service of great value
by the members of the Mobile team and
the directors of that club Pitcher Man
uel and Pitcher Chappelle bore the pres
ent to the plate, and this, accompanied
by splendid floral offering, was placed
upon the platter Umpire Conahan, in
his high C voice, made the presentation
address, while players of both teams stood
around with heads uncovered. Hickman,
on the game continuing, gritted his teeth
and slammed the pellet into right field.
but Messenger entirely lacking in the ro-
mantle, caught It while the fans were
yelling at him to let 1t. fall safely.
Hickman was born and reared in Bir-
mingham. and Birmingham fans have fol-
lowed his career with interest. In the
beginning OF the season Of 1906 he wss
signed by Birmingham, and defeated
Nashville in the opening game of that
year. He then was claimed by Shreve-
port and to that place the national COM
mission. which tried the case, awarded
him.
Personally, he is a fine young man of
the most exemplary habits. Profession
ally, considering his size and weight, he
is the most wonderful pitcher that ever
faced a batsman.

Sherif's Department Ii Especially Anx.
iOus to See Ed EasIey Punished

Officers are hot on the trail of Ed
Easley, the escaped negro prisoner, who
shot Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook
and Bert Roberts last Saturday near Ban
ner. Information now is that he has been
traced to another county and that his ar
rest is expected at any moment.
The desire to catch this negro Is very
great with Sheriff Higdon. as he is afraid
1t will prove a bad example to other des-
perate negroes if he is not captured and
made to pay the penalty of his crime.
A quiet search Is also being made for
Fred Spencer, the negro who shot and
killed Captain Young, another deputy, at
Brighton some time ago. There is an out
standing reward of $500 for this negro. It
is believed that his arrest will follow in
a short while.

tically FIVE minutes after each race
is run before the news can go out.

wager heavily in the pari mutuel ma
chimes of the track have been induced
to place their money with agents Of
outside interests, who offer them bet
ter odds than the mutuel pays. thus
reducing the play in the machines and
cutting into the tracks commission.
Detectives have been employed to
keep the handbook agents away from
the betting contingent at the track.
