THE TRAVELLING Men
APPEAL To Commission

The mileage pulling" controversy
between the travelling men of Missis
sippi and the Southern Railway and
Mobile & Ohio road will be brought
up for hearing before the railroad com.
mission in Jackson next Tuesday, and
an interesting discussion is expected.
The travelling men who cover the
territory touched by the two defend
ant roads have filed petition asking
that the custom of requiring holders
OF mileage books to exchange mileage
for tickets before boarding trains be
discontinued, owing to the inconven-
ience involved.
1t is claimed that this Inconvenience
especially manifests itself at the larg.
er stations on the two roads. where
it is well-nigh impossible for the
travelling men to get mileage ex-
changed for tickets, owing to the rush
OF business at the windows.
Inc rdilroauS assert, on the other
hand, that the mileage-pulling custom
enables them to keep their accounts
in more satisfactory manner. when
the agent pulls a certain amount of
mileage and gives a ticket in ex-
change therefor he becomes finan-
cially responsible for the ticket. and
the auditing of passenger accounts
is thus facilitated.
Strong argument will be advanced
on both sides of the question. and
there is a probability that an AMIGA
Bile agreement will be reached by not
making the exchange of mileage for
tickets necessary at junction points.

GOTHAM GOSSIP.
:: : : : 3 :: ::

New York, March 4.-Irishmen of
Manhattan and Brooklyn are prepar-
ing for the observance of the birth
day of Robert Emmet tomorrow, and
unprecedented enthusiasm will proba-
bly, mark the celebration in memory
of the martyr of Irish nationality.
Emmet was born in Dublin just 1873
years ago today, but the principal
celebrations in this city will be held
on Sunday in order that all Irishmen
and sympathizers with the cause of
freedom may have an opportunity to
participate. There is a general belief
that the movement for which Emmett
gave up his life is now nearing frui-
tion, and this will add to the inter-
est in tomorrow's meetings. The
Montauk Theatre has been engaged
for a great gathering of Brooklyn Hy-
bernians, under the auspices of Clan
na-Gael, and similar demonstrations
will be held in Manhattan and the
Orthodox.

SIXTY FIRST
CONGRESS ENDS
The Names Of Number of Notable
Men viii be Dropped From
the Roll.


Washington, March 4.-Former Sen.
ator DePew, ex-senator Aldrich, one
time Senator Beveridge-strange-
sounding, indeed, is the list of "lame
ducks" resulting from the passing
today of the sixty-first congress of the
United States. Seldom before in ma
tional history has a. March 4 erased
from the roll of solons the names of
so many notable men. A score of
new faces will be seen in the United
States senate when the sixty-second
congress organizes, and in the house
the names of the "exes' is legion.
Nelson w. Aldrich heads the list of
today's retired senators. For twenty
years he has representation, as the
insurgents say, misrepresented Rhode
Island in the upper house of the ma
tional legislature, and even his ene-
mics view his passing with some sort
OF regret. A senate without its AL.
drfch will seem a strange sort of as.
semoiage to the old-timers. With the
retirement of Boss" Aldrich there
passes from public life his faithful
lieutenant, Eugene Hale of Maine.

garded as one of the ablest tariff ex-
perts on the Democratic side of the
body. 1t is stated on good authority
that Mr.. Byrd will be candidate for
reelection in 1912.
Congressman e. ]. Bowers, of the
sixth district, like Senator Money, vol
UNFAIRLY retires from public life and
his reason for so doing, as frankly
stated to his constituents, is that he
cannot live in Washington on the sal
ary paid to a member of Congress; at
least, that he can make more money
at the practice of law and, as he is
not the possessor of a private fortune,
feels that it is his first duty to his
family to gather a little less honor
and a little less moss" while he is
able to do so. Mr.. Bowers has served
eight years in the lower house, and
his political following was so formida-
Bile that in 1906 and 1908 he was re-
elected without opposition. He is
succeeded by Hon. B. P.
Harrison of Gulfport, former
district attorney of the second dis.
trict, who is now in his 33rd year, and
is, like the two other new members
of the lower house delegation, without
previous legislative experience.

Chief IS
old MURDERER
Remarkable Story of Man Convicted
of Murder, Afterwards Elected
Chief Of Police.

Danville, Va, March 4.-Edgar
Stribling, who for five years has been
chief of police of Danville, under the
name of R. E. Morris, was arrested
here this afternoon as an escaped
murderer from the Atlanta, Ca, pris-
on. In 1897 he was tried for murder,
convicted and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. Pending a motion for a
new trial, he escaped.
Striblisg has confessed.
For the past six years Stribling has
been living here, no one for a mo-
ment suspecting his identity. Efforts
We're made number of times to trace
up some shady spot in his past life
in criminal trials, but not an inkling
OF his prison record was brought out.
About five years ago he was elected
as patrolman on the Danville police
force and after serving about six
months was advanced to chief. His
advancement was due in a great
measure to his cool nerve and fear
lessness. though he was criticised Sc.
verely for his almost uncomfortable
temper. The election of a chief of
police for another term of two years
was to have been held tomorrow night
and IL was generally tbo,,ob+ Tho.
the present incumbent would succeed
himself.
Stribling in his official capacity
here had many influential friends and
during his residence here was never
charged with any offense other than
the results Of his temper.
Stribling was taken to Georgia to-
night. Before leaving he said he
killed Cornett for seducing his sister.

OUT OF HEALTH

Is a very common expression.
Are you one of the unfortunates-
and what is the cause?
There are hundreds of people right
here in this vicinity who have poor
blood, are rundown, all tired out, with
no strength, vitality or ambition.
We want to ask all such people to
call at out store and get a bottle of
vinol. our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, which is made without oil
and is very palatable.
We claim it win make pure, rich,
red blood, and impart new life, ener.
gy and strength to every person who
does not feel well. If it fails we will
return your money-without question.
Isn't this fair and generous offer?
A case is reported from Leipsic,
Ind.-Mrs. C. r. Catlin was troubled
with indigestion-was weak-all run
down. She says vinol cured her
stomach trouble, restored her strength
land made her feel like new wo-
man. Anyone in her condition can
get the same benefit from vinol.
