After two weeks of campaign speaking ih fourteen couties. and making eighteen speeches. Col. Emmet ONeal reached Birmingham last night from Pell City, and but for the loss of few pounds, looking as bright and healthy as ever
 If ever there could have been any doubt of my nomination. he said this trip has removed it entirely, for never in my life have l seen the people turn out with such liberal response and dis play so much enthusiasm.
 By long odds the greatest hopes I could have cherished were outdone, and was again and again convinced that the people of Alabama are going to fol- low up their victory of last fall and are back of me. not for any personal reasons, but for the principles of liberty and conservatism on which I stand.
 After travelling through the wire grass region and consulting with the leaders in nearly every county. find that they vii, all rally an even larger majority for me than they did against the amend ment, and in East Alabama there is not single doubtful county, unless 1t be Macon.

 Tn every instance the county seat seat was crowded with people who came from every direction packing the court house, and in some instances several hundred were unable to get inside. irhs mention of Mir. Mallary's connection with the amendment fight was always suf- hcient to indicate the sentiment of the addience.
 At Ozark an old man came up to the hotel bringing his grandsons, and said he was 94 years old, came twenty miles to hear me speak and had been an O'Neal man ever since that first letter was writ ten against the amendment. w. C. Oats. Jr., was with me much of the time and always said to the audience that he had come to deliver message from his father

 "I was informed today that Talladega vii give me a fine majority. Old resi- dents said that they had seldom seen the farmers and people generally take so much interest in a meeting as they did today at noon. The courthouse was throngee, and more generous enthusiasm displayed than usual

PRIMARY ORDERED
 FOR THE SEVENTH
COMMITTEES AUTHORITY OVER DISTRICT OFFICIALS - NEsBITT DID NOT MAKE RULING ON POINT

The question at issue between the gressional committee is one of author ity which will only be decided after careful study of the law on the sub ject. It is regarded as especially in teresting now, because however 1t may be settled, 1t will set a precedent for the party.
 Many believe that there are good grounds whereby the congressional committee has its own authority to set rules contrary to those of the state committee, and they declare that the state committee has no power over the primary for a federal office.
 Chairman w. D. Nesbitt of the state committee did not rule on this point. as he was unwilling to decide it eithe way without action by the state com mittee itself.
 Chairman O. R. Hood of the Seventh district committee yesterday ordered a primary to be held in the district on May 2, when the name of Congressman Burnett will be placed on all the coun- ty tickets, or on specially prepared ticket where the county election has already been held as in Marshall county.
 The democrats of the state have no fear about the question of Mr Burnett, I, name not getting on the ticket in the regular state election. This. it is stated, would be entirely out of the question,

SHERIFF H|GDON
 ON THE WARPATH Says Election Day Must Be
 Absolutely ''Dry" TO PUT OUT SHOPPERS Says It Will Be Unlawful to Have Liquors and Close Watch Will He Kept on All the Soft
 Drink Stands
TO PUT OUT SHOPPERS

vio!ators of the prohibition law had bet ter be careful or Sheriff Higdon will get them sure Mondayi
 For be it known that Sheriff Higdon has declared that he is going to have out more spotters tomorrow than he has ever had, and that anyone attempting to sell, give away or even haul intoxicants will be placed under arrest.
 "Sott drink stands and other places where arrests have been made for yiolat- ing the prohibition laws will be watched extremely close" said Colonel Higdon Under the saloon regime the law com pelled all saloons to close on election days It was also unlawful to move liquor on those days. This law is still on the st;tute books.
 q want Jefferson county to be exceed ingly lawful Monday, and I call on every good citizen in the county to assist the officers of the law in keeping 1t so. one drunk man can start a riot and we want to keep this one drunk man away from the voting places. The races between the NaI1OuS CdnQl0dteS DelHB SO CloSc anu lhe excitement so high, very little thing might have bad results I sincerely trust that every man will see things in this light and try to preserve optfer.
 "It strikes me that the operators of soft drink stands would act wisely if they wcrld keep closed Monday. Being soft drink stands there is no law which can compel them to close. Most of them have been ra;ded time and time again for vio- lati3g the prohibition law, and the impress sion is out that they are blind tigers, and my men will certainly keep a close watch on them. While we fully believe that nine-tenths of these places are really nothing but blind tigers. and are con- stantly endeavoring to catch them, 1t is as a rule a very difficult job, and really only pure luck that we can succeed in SC. curing evidence enough to convict. If Monday. though, I believe we will catch tEem.
 Under the law it will be unlawful for an express company to deliver intoxi- cants or for anyone to move them from one place to another. If man was carry ing bottle or two he would be subject to arrest.
 Jefferson county must be orderly Mon. day and l am going to do all I can to make it so.''

You may talk all you please about keeping down the dust but 1t can never be done until some system of thoroughly cleaning the streets is adopted said T. H. Aldrich. These streets in the center of the city are miserably dirty at all hours of the day. The condition is a dis grace to the city and should be remedied. It seems to me that the best way to clean the streets and keep them clean is to flush them at least once a day. It is i'm possible to clean these Belgian blocks in any other way"

Salt Water Cataracts,

There are good many salt water
cataractS in existence. They NAV be
found in Norway. southern Chile and
British Columbia. where narrow fiords.
or arms of the sea, are obstructed by
barriers of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond.
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction in
al Irresistible torrent. Most curious
of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage. where the island Of Vancouver
the British Columbia main
land. Here the flood tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southwark is
held back at narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume Of the
Rhine. AT the turn of the tide. how
ever. the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf. producing cas-
Cade of equal height and volume. The
waterfall actually flows both ways.

New York, Nov. 1G.-The change in

come. The changes made strike a:
the foundation of the police depart

force to new footing
Beginning at once there will be no
more branch detective bureaus in any
of the bcroughs, except Brooklyn,
which by geographical necessity has
always been something of a law unto
itself
Detectives will no longer report to
captains OF precincts or inspectors of
districts, but to a lieutenant captain
of detectives. He will be directly re-
sponsible to the Inspector at head.

reau, who in turn is under the second

In short the plain clothes man, with
the ready errand runner for the sys.

and the city will hear no more of him.
Detectives will be no part of the pre-.
cinct command and will work indie
pendently Of the uniformed police
This is the policy of the English de-
tective force, which works under Scot
land Yard, a centralized control; and
it is also in line with the policy of the
federal secret service in this country.
When crime is reported the com.
plant will be turned over to the lieu
tenant captain in charge of detectives
for the precinct and also transmitted
over the department wires to head
quarters. Sixty men will be kept there
for emergency assignments and spe-
cial work. The clerical force, number.
ing 100 men, will take their turn IN
the streets and all the precinct men
will be kept at patrol work
More than 500 detectives will have
to adjust themselves to the new order
They will have nothing to do with
gambling, disreputable houses and so.

Sending a Man to Coventry.

The expression sending to Coven-
try" had a military origin. 1t arose,
SO 1t is said. in the days of Charles
l.. when the inhabitants of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in their
town. and Il woman known to speak
to man in Il scarlet cloak was at once
the subject Of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con-
fined to the mess room for conversa-
ton. Thus the term ''sending a man to
Coventry if you wished to shut him
from society took root in the English
language.-London Chronicle.
