FEW TIGERS 'yEI, ,,. s... .
 SAYS JUDGE LANE

"We have some blind tigers yet they are few, however, and I will say one thing: In 9 days or 60 days they will be swept away and Birmingham will be cleansed of the tigerism that has provoked such bitter criticism said Commissioner A. O. Lane last night.
 "I conferred yesterday with plain clothes men and patrol men and they tel, me that the situation is well in hand. They do not report any great amount of public drunkenness, and I am of the opinion that such drunkenness as we nave had on the streets has been exag- eerated. The situation is well in hand I airi not displeased over it.
 We will renew our war against these few tigers remaining, and we will pur- sue them with relentless vigor until they ire completely eradicated.'

Eggs Come High

Tucson, Ariz., October 22.-Eggs are selling at 20 cents each in Guaymas. Mex, and other foods are correspond ingly high, according to delayed mail advices which reached Tucson today. The high price of eggs Is caused by tho drowning of many hens in the recent floods and because of damage to trans portation facilities. The transport sam son, owned by the Sierra Pinta Mining company at San Jorge bay, left that port October 15 with a cargo of gen erAl supplies for Menlo Blanco where many storm sufferers are reported in a destitute condition.

LElsHMAN MEETS KAISER.

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-After waiting a
couple of weeks for the Kaisers re-
turn to Berlin, John G. A. Leishman,
the newly appointed American ambas-
sador, was received in audience on
Wednesday night.
In contrast to the precedent set by
former ambassador, who had a spe-
cial uniform made for himself, Mr..
Leishman donned for the ceremony
the plain evening dress of American
diplomats abroad.
The instance referred to is perhaps
unique. The ambassador in question
was not content to have uniform OF
green and gold lace made for himself
but his whole staff was made to follow
suit. A photograph, perhaps the only
one of it's kind, can still be seen in q
drawing-room of Berlin of an Ameri
can ambassador and his staff in full
uniform.

KAIsER,s SON EINEp.

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-The Kaiser's
third son, Prince August Wilhelm,
and his chauffeur were this week
brought before a Berlin magistrate
and fined 1915 and costs for exceed
ing the speed limit in a Berlin street.
Fortunately for the Princes per-
sonal dignity, the chauffeur was at
the wheel when a traffic policeman
timed the car and took its number, or,
at any rate, the chauffeur assumed
the responsibility in court and the
fine was assessed against the em-
ploye, although paid by his royal
employer.
Prince August Wilhelm may have
more difficulty in settling with his
father than with the courts, since the
Emperor, displeased with the number
of automobile accidents in which
members of his family figured, some
time ago gave notice that an offend
ing Prince Cor Princess) might have
the machine confiscated. The imper-
ial sons, and even daughter-inlaw
or two, enthusiastic Automobiles, are
fond of steering their own cars and

good speed

POPE AND TRIPOLI,

ROME, Oct 2S.-Italians are begin
ming to understand that it is not to be
all plain sailing in Tripoli, as at first
appeared, and that the campaign, if
not as long and difficult as that which
France conducted for many years in
Algeria, will be>very much like that
which the Republic fought in Tunis 20
years ago.
Great preparations have been made
for sending achievements almost CON
tinuously in order to replace the killed
and wounded and those, of larger num-
Der, rendered unfit for service by ill
ness. Reinforcements are also neces-
sary to strengthen both the garrisons
and the columns destined to advance
has no intention of changing his plans,
which consist in having in Africa such
overwhelming army as will convince
| the enemy that any resistance is vain.
When to this is added the numerous
| transports necessary to carry supplies
for the army and for the Red Cross,
the transportation of the wounded and
sick into Italy, and the concentration
of the Turkish prisoners in the old
Bourbon barracks, near Casserta, it is
easy to understand the task Italy has
| undertaken. ..r
Other difficulties will be encounter
ed, such as the Impotence of the
Powers for the conclusion of peace, as
the conflict is detrimental to their in
terests, the fear being constantly en-
tertained that prolongation of the
war may cause those Balkan compiled
lions which everybody breads so
much; the revival of the opposition of
| the extremists against the conquest
of Tripod and the continuation OF
what they call a military adventure,
and, finally, the attitude of the Vati-
can, which has repudiated those Bish-
! ops and clergy who, in a patriotic
fervor, desired to invest the hostili-
ties against Turkey with the charac-
ter of a holy war.
The Vatican desires to share no re-
sponsibility, not even of acquiescence
in the war against Turkey, while un,
derstanding and not condemning the
feeling of the Italian episcopate and
clergy and the faithful in wishing sue
cess to the Italian arms. Mgr. Sardi
the Apostolic Delegate at CONSTANT
nople, in fact, has notified the Porte
that the Holy See has no hand in the
war, holding entirely aloof from the
operations of the Italian government

LONDON, October 2S.-Snce the
opening of the session Of Parliament
two or three attempts have been made
to extract from Government officials
information respecting International
matters in which Great Britain is
closely concerned, but Sir Edward !
Grey never was a communicative per-
son, and lately he has been less so |
than ever. From various sides criti- /
cisms are being heard of the policy |
of absolute silence which the Govern |
ment is maintaining regarding the
British attitude toward events which
are shaping the worlds destinies, and
even Lord Balfour, who could never
be accused of forgetting that the con
duct of the Foreign Office has, as d
general principle, been kept outside
the domain of party politics, has not
hesitated to task the Government with
unnecessary reticence.
Private criticisms go much further
than might be supposed possible when
it is remembered that only a couple
of years ago Sir Edward Grey was gen
orally spoken of by Conservatives as
safe man. However, the Liberal Cab
met might play ducks and brakes with
the national interests and home af-
fairs, it was declared with one voice
that it might be relied upon to safe
guard the country's interests abroad.
Now an entirely different note is be-
ing sounded. In fact, Grey objects to
the fierce denunciation and sugges-
tons made that Great Britain in his
lost, her influence in the council of
Europe, which she possessed under
Lord Salisbury, and even when Sails
bury's successor, Lord Lansdowne,
was at the helm 1t is even charged
that Grey not only deserves no credit
for the arbitration treaty with the
United States, but that he was taken
absolutely unawares by it, and that
the patent discrepancies in his three
speeches welcoming President Tafts
proposals were due to the fact he did
not exactly know what the Presidents
proposals were.
This policy in regard to Persia
lacks the approval even of many Lib
erals. There are, of course, many
good judges who are convinced that

some of them form a link with the
Roman occupation of Britain.
At any rate, bones of an animal
similar to those discovered on an ad-
iacent site a few years ago, which
we're identified as those of the bos
longifrons, have been unearthed
Among the other finds are:
Horns of various kinds of animals,
Fragments of green pottery.
A human skull.
Jawbones of animals with well pre-
served teeth.
A knights spur.
Wooden piles used in the construc.
ton of the Palace of Bridewell.
The Palace of Bridewell was the
building in which, in 1910, King John
summoned Parliament to meet him,
and succeeded in extracting 100000
from the clergy and monks before the
proceedings terminated.
The green pottery is probably the
remains of cups and jugs that were
in common use in the Inns of Court
after 1860 for in the Inner Temple
Records one reads that from "Febru
airy, 1860, it was ordered that from
henceforth there shall not any ashen
cups be provided, but the House tc
be served in green cups, both of win
ter and summer"
The discoveries have been a secret
up to the present, and have not YET
been submitted to expert judgment.

Wisconsin have made LaFollette
the natural progressive leader.
CD States represented by
third of the delegates to the ma
tional convention are already
committed to the progressive
idea.
Co An active pre-convention
campaign would show the work
ing of the present corrupt COM
bination between special privi-
lege, machine politics, and fed
eral patronage, demonstrating the
necessity for state presidential
preference primary bills.
CD The progressive campaign
beginning IL months before the
national campaign would give
every state a chance to deter
mine whether to send progress
sives or reactionary delegates.
(S) A republican progressive
candidate in the field at the pres
ent time would head off the effort
of Big Business to name Taft and
Harmon, two reactionary candi-
dates, and thus kill the progress
sive movement or force the pro-
'gressives to organize a third
party.
One of the difficulties of pro-
pressive campaign is that all the
funds are on the other side. If
LaFollette should decide to be-
come candidate, as he probably
will, 1t will be necessary that his
campaign be financed by the
people. The predatory corpora
lions do not want LaFollette and
all their contributions would be
devoted to defeating him. LaFol-
lette would not make the race I'M
less he could make an appeal di-
rectly to the people, in practically
every state. This would require
money for a special train ana a
thousand other things. Nothing
but liberal popular subscriptions
would make possible the candi-
dacy of progressive.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 16.
Progressive republicans here
all agree that there Is general de-
mand for a progressive candidate
for the 1912 presidential nomi-
nation and that this demand
would be met by Robert M.
LaFollette.
The progressives of both
houses are already united on La
Toilette. Cummins will not be a
candidate. Roosevelt has an
nounced that he Is not a candi-
date; SO the road Is clear for the
Wisconsin senator. 1t is up to
LaFollette to say what he will
do.
In urging LaFollette to become
a candidate his supporters sub
init the following reasons:
Cd The November elections
demonstrated the popularity of
the progressive policies, whether
republican or democratic.
CD They showed how hope
less it would be to try to win
with Taft.
CD The tremendous vote
cast for LaFollette in Wisconsin
showed him to be the best vote
getter in the republican party.
