More About Bribery Case.
UNITED PRESS 1pAsnp wrnn. !

Chicago, June IA letter writ
ten by Lee O'Neil Browne instructing
Charles A. White to see Senator Lor-
liners secretary, who, it was stated,
would give White job, was intro
duced today in Brownies trial for al
legged bribery in connection with the
election of Lorimer to the United
States senate.
The letter was one of a number
written by Browne to White and in
troduced by the state in the hearing
today
In some of these letters Browne re-
'ferred to White as "Old Pal" and
my Boy"
Last April, White testified, Browne
told him to "keep quiet until Janu-
ary, then something would happen, "
He said he refused the job which Lor-
liners secretary, offered him.
White said he visited his old home
in Knoxville and other points in Ten
nessee. The expenses of the trip
were paid out of the money Browne
had paid to him to vote for Lorimer,
he testified.

STAMPEDE STOPS AS SUDDENLY
AS 1T BEGAN, BUT IN ITS
PLACE A BIG RUSH STARTS
FOR STEWART CITY, b. @.
TuNrrnp rnrss 1nAanD wInr.l

Seattle, Wash, June 15.-The
rush to Iditarod has died away az
suddenly as 1t arose. Steamship
travel to Alaska is very little above
normal again. Continual reports
from Fairbanks, such as a cablegram
yesterday from w. B. Coon, that the
new diggings were rank failure" !"
have killed the wild enthusiasm that
arose over the tales that came out of
the interior of "35 miles of pay
streak"
While the reports are constant
from Alaska that the Iditarod never
has been promising, the depreciation
Of the new diggings is not unani-
nous, and a fairly steady travel will
continue all summer.
Coincident with the sudden end of
the Iditarod stampede comes sensa-
tional reports from Stewart CITY, B.
c., near the Alaskan line.

gress passed at Philadelphia May .,
1916" Mr. Worrell estimates the
value of the bill at the present time
10 be one thousand dollars. He also
states that coin experts have sup
posed the specimen in Washington,
ID. c., similar to the one he now
possesses to be the only one Of its
kind in existence.
Surprises never come singly, how
ever, for it was learned today that
Mrs. Henry Meyers of this city has a
six dollar certificate which tallies
identicalIy with the description Of
the one now owned by Mr.. Worrell,
expect that instead of reading, "Ac-
cording to a Resolution of Congress
passed at Philadelphia May O.,
1915" 1t reads According to Reso-
luton of Congress passed at Phila-
delphia July %, 1916"
In addition to this she has another
bill for one-third of dollar. This
bill reads, According to Resolu
tion of Congress passed in Philadel-
phia February II, 1916" On one
side of this bill appears to be a seal
with this Inscription on it: Mind
Your Business" On the other side
of the bill is a chain of thirteen links
in the form of a circle, each link
bearing the name of one of the orr
ginal thirteen states. Both bills
were printed by Hall & Sellers at
Philadelphia in 1776.
Mrs. Meyers is very proud Of
these bills as they were originally
owned by her father Geo. A. Edes,
and she has every reason to believe
that the 5000 one is identical with
the one owned by Mr.. Worrell, of
Albany, with the exception above
noted.

What An Old Farmer Saw at the
Agricultural College.

Ed. Journal: l attended the jub-
lice of the o. A. G. the past few days
and had some pink tea with Doc
Wythicombe at Waldo hall. The
Doc shows no signs of wearying i1
his grand work of teaching scientific
agriculture and looked as fresh in
his white vest as one of the daisies
on the campus, First thing struck
me was the young farmers in long
black dresses-college gowns, they
call EN-. They have a puckering
string at the neck and are cut demi-
train and the young bucks hitch
them up behind a little to keep from
steppin on their trails. I'll bet
any one of those young COW punch
ers or sheep herders would have
give a dollar to kicked 1t Off They
wear a square shingle on top Of
their heads and call them mortar
boards but / didn't see any on 'em
carryin' mortar around the new
building f. A. Erixson was putting
up. The idea of carrying mortar on
yer head anyway was ridiculous, as
the mortar's all packed in hods
where l grew up.
Tho gown is not so bad for a
priest but to put one on a farmer
may be scientific agrpnomy, but I'd
like to see man break a new yoke
OF steers in one of them contrap-
tions, The girls looked all right in

Everything is yellow at o, A. Q.
You'd think It was a celebration of
Orangemen in Nester county, Ire
land Reminds me of an incident
that happened on st. Patrick's day
in New Work City A negro was
burylng his face in a big orange as
the parade went by, when big
Irish policeman hit him a clip and
sent him sprawling in the gutter.
The negro got up and said; What
you hit me fur, boss? hain't done
nuffln." The policeman ordered him
oh Au1 eNANNNt oNN AAbs ms - AAt

Philadelphia, Pa, June 15.-In
one Of the most significant speeches
yet made by a member Of the Taft
cabinet, Secretary of State Knox to-
day declared that the establishment
of an international court of arbitra-
tion justice practically is assured
Knox's speech was made at the com
mencement exercises Of the UNIVERSE
ty of Pennsylvania. His utterance is
regarded as the most important re-
cital of the administrations attitude
on foreign relations that he has made
since he became secretary.
Knox declared in the course of his
speech that the present administra-
tion had carried Americas foreign
policies to greater lengths than had
any preceding administration.
Speaking on the subject of "the
spirit and purpose of American di-
plomacy," Knox said:
"The United States has always uni
formly exhausted every source to
amicably adjust international diff
culties."
He then recited the efforts of
America to make The Hague tribunal
real arbitration court and said
that he believed these efforts would
soon result in the establishment of
such a court. Knox intimated that
the foreign powers had gone so far as
to formally approve Americas plans
regarding the court.
Referring to existing relations be-
tween the United States and China,
Secretary Knox declared:
Americas diplomacy in that en-
pire is marked by regard for Chi
mas rights as a sovereign power. In
spite of an insistent desire of Ameri-
cans in China that this government
should cooperate in warlike meas
ures, we have adhered to a policy of
peace"
Knox referred to Zelaya, recently
deposed Nicaraguan president, say
ing:
Inherent sympathy for self-gov
ernment had a large part in Ameri-
cas- sympathy with the recent evic-
tion Of the tyrants Zelaya and Castro
whose cruel government soon will be
succeeded by governments that are
really responsible and republican"

4 The city Of New Orleans, the Govern
OF Of Louisiana and other prominen
interests Of that State are taking a very
active interest IN the location Of til,
Panama Exposition to be held in 1915
beginning January l. The New Orleans
newspapers, the officials and prominent
men Of the city and State after the date
was fixed Immediately set to work in a
campaign for the purpose Of showing
New Orleans to be the logical point ior
the exposition Two reasons standing
out boldly above the rest are-first, that
New Orleans is centrally located and
practically contiguous to all the Latin
races in the radius Of the canal; second,
only 8 200. 600 people reside in the seven
States westef the Rocky Mountains; the
other $4,000, 600 inhabitants Of the
United States live, according to the last
census, within 1000 miles OF New Or
leans, 65,00o,0oo Of people residing
within a radius Of 1000 miles Of the
logical Panama site, New Orleans.
Numerous other reasons are assigned,
notable among which are that New Or
leans is reached by more railroad lines
and has larger hotel accommodations
than San Francisco. 1t is also one Of
the oldest cities in the United States and
one OF the most widely celebrated points
in the world. All the above reasons are
of a general character, applicable to all
the interests affected. But there is only
place that appeals to us OF the South.
New Orleans is an historic city, full of
tradition, and one of the last landmarks
to retain the chigalry and the Southern
atmosphere OF the good old days. Yet
without any Of the Southern sentiment
New Orleans is a more important factor
in the world of international commerce
and transportation than any American
city outside Of New York. In many
respects the city is famous. 1t is the
greatest cotton exporting center in the
United States, one of our chief products.
New Orleans has always been city of
culture and social affluence. 1t was the
first point in the United States to pro-
1uce grand opera. The Old French
Opera House stands to-day monument
o that cult. In many other ways
he Southern city is notable. In our
opinion there is no comparison between
San Francisco and New Orleans as the
ogical point for the Panama Exposition.
By all means, New Orleans first, last and
III the time.

Amusements.

1t was very unfortunate that Union
City has been strung" with two or more
cheap ST. Elmo attractions. The equality
Of the players and the dramatization
heretofore offered were of very inferior
variety and much to the disadvantage of
the company presenting the play here
last Friday night The result was a
small house, notwithstanding the fact
the play by Grace Hayward had been
presented by one Of the best companies
and in some of the largest theatres. 1t
was very unfortunate that those Of us
who really enjoy good performance
did not see the presentation OF st. Elmo
on this occasion. Every reader knows
the story Of 81. Elmo is astrong one and
everyone knows that Grace Hayward's
work has great dramatic value. There
were no undergraduates and insists in
the cast seen here last Friday night. 1t
is very probable, however, that the stage
manager had trouble in obtaining the
best results with so small an audience.
Those accustomed to good talent know
that the company was good'one from
the lead down and including every detail
of the play st. Elmo in the hands of
Mr.. Hilyard was an intelligent concep-
ton vitalized. Miss Laurent's Edna
Earle is vivid portraiture OF the book
So much for the lead, but places like
Union City seldom ever see what is
technically known as character acting.
One of these was Mrs. Stephens as Mrs.
Murray, st. Elmo's mother, another
was 10, the servant, by Carl Adamson.
They we're both artists in their lines. In
Mrs. Stephens work there is flavor Of
the real type SO well defined by Mrs
John Drew, OF former period, of Mrs.
Gilbert and of Mrs. Fannie Addison
Pitt. Mr. Adamson's sketch also re-
called memories of well known people
who have made an easy road for the star,
among whom are such names as Jas.
Lewis, J. III. Stoddart, Mr.. Lemoyne and |
others. The character actor is the real
background, and some of these deserve
more recompense than the world or the
profession has ever given them; they
deserve more than stars who have oc-
casionally appeared in front of them
A play is not complet without art even
in the minor role, and this it was which
made finished performance of st. Elmo
last Friday night

Those who enjoy the spirit Of college
sports were immensely entertained by a
number Of the pupils Of the High School
at the opera house last Thursday night.
The play, For Old Eli, is drama Of
college life, or that part Of it which per
tains to the field Of sport, and it was
given for the benefit Of the City High
School.
The action Of the play deals with
Yale and Harvard and opens with the
approach Of the annual Held-day con-
tests between those two great institu-
tons of learning The captain Of the
Yale men is seen closeted with his
books, but in the effort 10 study the
Rah, rah, rah' of his companions on
the outside disturbs his oogitations. oc-
casionally they come in to ask what he
thinks will be the outcome Of the con-
tests. The discussion turns to Carson,
who has just lost a race and the captain
says he is stale. Finally the report
comes that Carson has been drunk apd
the captain scores him in the presence
Of companions, declaring to Carson
that he is moi Yale man, but dis
grace. The story proceeds with a com
bination of incidents growing out Of the
trouble between the captain and Car
son, into which little romance is
woven, until the arrival Iof field day
Carson appears in form and declares
that he will win, but not for Yale nor
for Old Eli He will win for his fathers
sake. The games are on and the battle
is hard one. First one and then the
other FORCES ahead in the general aver
age and excitement rises higher and
higher Finally Carson is called and

Good Rod.

With an increased interest in gooc
roads in Tennessee ii looks like Union
City would begin TO wake up to her in
terests. Governor elect Hooper is pro-
posing plan to make a substantial
highway from Memphis 70 Bristol in a
day aud good roads projects are spring
ing up in many different places.
In view Of these things we would like
to again offer the suggestion that Union
City should have a macadam or some
other kind Of hard road 70 Reelfoot
Lake. The Memphis and Gulf route
is being extended from Dyersburg to
Hickman This railroad will cause the
building Of new stations and feeders to
the railroad A hard road from Union
City to the lake would counteract some
OF this traffic and turn it back to Union
City, and lots OF our trade will certainly
be lost II we don't make some effort to
hold it. The whole OF the United States
is waking up to the Importance Of good
roads. Will Union City not take an in
terest liz these at time when they will
be worth something to us. The towns
north and east are drawing on our terri
tory Are we going to stand supinely
still and let this new enterprise on the
west take our trade.
There is no use to wait for bond is
sues. II practical at all, they delay
matters too much. We need to do
something-at once, and on this line
we would like TO submit project that
is engaging the attention Of Weakley
Countians atpresent. 1t may be practi- |
cal here We give the project in full
as published in the Dresden Enterprise.
There is some meat in it and il is worth |
thinking about Read it:
Some weeks ago Mr.. Chas B. Bras
field and others owning lands along the
Dresden and Greenfield road suggested
the idea of securing from the land
owners along it voluntary contributions
for the purpose Of constructing good
highway. Representative FINS ]. Gar
rett secured from the U. S. Department
of Public Roads the services of an eng-
neer to make preliminary examina-
ton and estimate of the cost and Mr..
Langlois, an experienced road engineer,
came and spent six days surveying and
examination, and last week
filed report showing total cost Of sand
clay road from here to Greenfield, Civ
ing the estimate mile by mile 1t is as
follows, beginning at the Dresden end:
