CORONER PROBED
 662 DEATHS IN YEAR Unlawful Homicides 142 and
 Suicides 24 WORK FOR DECEMBER Records Broken By Investigation of 70 Deaths During the Past Month. Comments on the Work
 for the Year
WORK FOR DECEMBER

Coroner B. L. Brasher yesterday made him during the year of 1910. The report shows that there was a total of 662 deaths investigated by him during the year. The causes were as follows: Unlawful homi- eide, 142; unknown causes 9s; suicide. 24. natural causes, 13S; accidental deaths, 122 and the deaths from mine accidents. including the Mulga and Palos mine dis asters. 13S, making a total of 662 deaths in- vestigated during the year.
 ''The past year has been a very busy one for me-" said Coroner B. L. Brasher last night in commenting on the report. ''The death toll has been heavy and there was hardly a day that I have not been called upon to make an investigation into death.
 "To some people who do not understand the requirements of the coroner's office, the large number of natural deaths ap- bearing in my annual report and from month to month may seem unusual. But the law requires that whenever a person dies suddenly and without a physician the coroner must make an investigation
 "The year 1910 will long be remembered for the horrible disasters at the Palos and Mulga mines.
 "The unlawful homicides were also large this year. Jefferson county will probably lead all other counties in the state in this matten There are several reasons for this, the chief being the large floating population of negroes. The ma jority of unlawful homicides are among the negroes
 Another noticeable feature of the re- port Is that during the year there were only "A suicides. For a county with a population of 20000o this is comparative ly small"

ALI ATTENTION WILL
 CENTER IN SENATE
Upper Body Must Solve the
 Liquor Problem
SOME RUMoRs HEARD
to Having Another Constitutional Amendment Submitted With
 Less InfelicItOus PhrRsing

Tn their campaign for the prevention of the legal sale of liquors in Alabama the ultra -prohibitionists, it is learned. will ig- nore the lower house of the legislature, and will center their attack on the sem ate.
 They will demand what they term 'No backward step" It is a certainty that they will stand for no repeal, revision or mod ihcation of the drastic and generally con- sidered non-enforcible prohibition laws. They will declare the laws all right, in every particular. Tn their argument in favor of the retention of the laws they will compare them to gigantic gun of modern construction, confined in a turret. They will claim that it could do great destruction were some brave man to stand behind it and touch off the fuse.
 And the rumor was heard yesterday afternoon in political circles that in fur thering their plan of mo backward step" they will endeavor to have the prohibition laws incorporated in the con- stitution. Although it is generally be- leved that this attitude will have no effect on any member of either house, for the bitterness of the fight against the prohibition amendment last fall is remem- bered, it is considered true, nevertheless, that the attempt will be made. The ultras, it is thought, have adopted this plan to spread the news abroad that they are still in the fight, and not crippled, badly beaten and heterogeneous mass of malcontonts. Those who stood behind the amendment last fall declare that they would have been victorious but for the unfortunate wording of the proposed amendment. In their next attempt, if the plan materializes, they will be careful to have nothing in the proposed para graphs which can be construed as an in- sidious attack on the homes of the peo- pie or their inalienable rights.
 But 1t is positive, however, that in their defense they will ignore the lower house. It is stated that this was the gist of bit of advice given them by Con- gressman Hobson, who, since his arrival in Birmingham, has frankly criticised their lack of organization and knowledge of political warfare. As the senate is divided, they feel that they will be able to make headway in that body, and not only prevent legislation but check any "untoward" action which might come out of the lower house.
 The ultras will have several secret eau cusses in the near future and, having been advised by Congressman Hobson, will go again to battle with well laid plans for the accomplishment of their purpose

675 900 workers. or about 20 per cent
ct the population of greater New
York, are today loafing in the streets,
rarks. and other public places of that
great city.
Why are these people out Of work?
What is going to be the result If they
do not get work? How long is 1t
going to be until they can again find
work? What should be done now to
put them to work again?
We might direct those questions to
republican administration, but, while
republican policies are unquestionably
at the bottom of this unusual conG;
ton, we are not SO much interested
in fastening responsibility upon a po-
litical party as we are in securing i'm
mediate relief from situation that
threatens the social and industrial or
der of the country.
WHY they are out of work, what
the result will be. how long they will
remain out Of work, are all questions
that admit Of variety of answers,
and no answer would be satisfactory
to everyone.
But the problem Of putting the great
bulk of these people to work would he
compare lively simple matter if the
subject had ever been given even
casual attention by the general public
There is usually a job, somewhere
for the man who is out of work. There
is usually a man, somewhere, for the
job that is out Of man. The prob
len consists simply in bringing the
job and the man together.
If, instead of spending money to
supply the bread lines of our big cities
and to otherwise support the out-of-
works who become public charges, we
were to establish a national employ
ment bureau. keep a record Of the
jobs who want men and of the men
who want jobs, and then provide trans
portation for the purpose of getting
the two together, the problem would
be solved.
The matter of preventing the condi-
tons that make these things possible
is another question and one On which
statesmen and political economists
have busted themselves for genera.
tons. We have our own idea about
it, but none of this helps the man who
needs help and who needs it now.
A means for getting the man to the
job is the thing to settle this emer-
gency case. 1t looks simple enough
| why don't we do it.

and the good things of life which so
many of us enjoy, let us not forget
those who may not be so fortunate as
we are, or whose wants and needs
may he lily supplied where our own
basket of plenty is overflowing.
Next Monday We shall be called
upon to remember some Of these un.
fortunates. Let us resolve today to
remember them in a substantial way
when the opportunity presents itself.
We refer to the effort which the
lady managers Of the Mission Hospital
will put forth to secure funds for the
maintenance of that deserving insti.
tuition.

gram. Monday has been DESIGNATED
as Tag Day. The ladies will have
charge of it and they hope to make it
splendid success. 1t ought 10 be a
success because It deserves to be.
The Mission Hospital fills a need in
Pensacola that was for years a severe
reflection on the city. We had nc
way to care for the unfortunate who
suffered illness or accident and who
had no friends or money to pay fol-
treatment. The Mission Hospital
now supplies that important necd.
The Journal hopes that everyone
will join In general Thanksgiving to

plans for generous assistance in the
Tug Day program for next Monday.

WHEN?
BY Howard Ferguson.
WHEN?

When the hot soup from the ladle
Finds it's resting place and cradle
And olive salad vanishes from
sight:
When the Sardou has been toasted
To the turkey that is roasted.
And the first course is forever out
of sight
When the turkeys on the platter
Mid bed of.green-leaf scatter.
With the cyster-favored dressing
resting near;
When the luscious sweet potato
And the celeried-tomato
Give some water-colored tints that
add a cheer
When the biscuits and the butter
And the vegetable clutter
Give full suspicion of their baneful
word;
While the repartee is leaking
AS the knife and fork are speaking
An eulogy upon the parted bird
When the cake and fruit and crackers
Come along with tempting hackers,
tbs then a fellow feels that he
shall die:
And yet the coffee, steaming,
Filled with dancing devils cleaning
Brings life and sparkle back into
the eye
When the relishes. like Edams,
Switzer, cream and other B-dams,
Decorate a simple pate that is a
dream:
Once more tho wine-glass jingle
Causes every sense to tingIe
And things are not SO bad as they
would seem
When these whens have all been
And the instinct is some bloated,
A lounge around and in random
way
Recall, through signs and meanings,
Deep regrets and growls and groan-
ings,
That we have eaten up Thanksgiv.

SHARP PRACTICES
NOT ENDORSED.
Miami Metropolis.

The Pensacola Journal is outspoken
in its condemnation of certain sharp
practices, which it surmises were re-
sorted to in the recent meeting of the
state committeeman. The Journal
seems to think that Mr.. Bryan, one of
the candidates for the senate. was re-
sponsible for having this meeting Of
the committeeman called and that
there was some axe to grind in doing
so. The Journal. we take it. is favor
able to the candidacy of its fellow
townsman, Mr. Blount, and it finds
that it was not upon his instigation
or initiative that the irregular meet.
ing was called and held. The Jour-
nal concludes that the effort which
was made to gain an advantage by
the sharp practices" aforementioned
will operate to the disadvantage of
Mr. Bryan. who was the prime mover
for an early primary.
The Metropolis is unable to pass
upon the correctness of The Journals
view. but the idea that Mr.. Bryan
candidacy has not been gaining in
favor OF late cannot be questioned
This idea of political heirloom was
not received by the people with that
spontaneity that some of the enthus-
iastic friends Of the young man evil
IDENTIFY hoped.
Some Of Mr.. Stockton's friends also
made the same claim for him, which
was unfortunate. too. This gives The
Journal the opportunity to say that
Mr.. Blount seems to be the only man
who is running on his own person
atty and ability.
This. Of course. is not literally true.
Each of the candidates believes in his
own ability to fill the position with
honor to himself and credit to the
state. The appeal that has been
made in behalf OF Bryan and Stock
ton on account of their alliance with
Broward has been done with the idea
of lining up the Broward strength for
each. The first impulse is to reject
such an appeal as altogether unworthy
and the next Is to investigate the
merits OF the claim and the candidate
in whose behalf IL Is made.
