JUR|ST ALLOWS LOCK AS EVIDENCE Harris and Blank, Owners of Shirtwaist Factory,
 Are on Trial

New York, December 15.-After hearing extended testimony to convince him that the exhibit was a proper one, Judge Crain in general sessions late today allowed the lock in the door that is alleged to have barred the escape of the girl operators from the Triangle Waist company fire of March 25, last to be introduced in evi- dence. Twice before during the day Judge Grain had refused to admit the exhibit as evidence against Isaac Harris and Max Blank who are on trial for manslaagh- ter in the case of Margaret Schwartz, one of the l47 who died in the fire,
 The piece of panel containing the lock with shot bolt, constituted the strongest physical proof the prosecution possessed. The district attorney contends that 1t shows eonclusively that the ninth floor door on the Washington place side of the factory where many girls died, was locked when the panic stricken employees threw themselves against it to escape from the flames.
 The trial was adjourned to Monday when the prosecution is expected to com plete it's case.

Voucher for Detective Work

And just here l would ask the people of Alabama if they believe the state would have received the $2509. or any part thereof had it not been for the indiet- ment which l preferred against Emmet O'Neal on November II last. It is rumored that a voucher for $500 has recently been cashed by detectives in the Sabel case. Will Emmet O'Neal explain to the tax payers of Alabama whether or not this rumor is correct and if it is. by what au- thority of law was the $500 of the peo- ple's money so expended!
 'In my address of November II 1 also charged that Emmet ONeal had solicited a donation of $500 from a liquor dealer in the city of Montgomery, telling said liquor dealer that the $500 to he used in the local option campaign of Lauderdae coun- ty. I charged at the same time that the liducr dealer agreed to donate the $j00, provided that Emmet Neal would see to fl that a license should be granted to sell liquor at a suburb near Montgomery, where application had already been de- nied. I charge now and here that said license was granted. and that said $500, or more, was obtained by Emmet ONeal frcnl said liquor dealer More than a month has elapsed since the above charges were publicly made against Emmet O'Neal and notwithstanding his friend, the Birmingham News, asked for sus- peHsloh oI JuugHlenl III lniS regard by the people of the state of Alabama, Emmet O'Neal has failed and refused to deny the same in any particular.
 q charge that he has failed and refused to deny these charges notwithstanding the people all over the state have been anx- iously awaiting such denial. and notwith- standing most of the leading papers in the state. editorialy and otherwise have insisted that he resign from office or as semble the legislature in order that the said charges might be established accord ing to law, or refuted if untrue.

the Waterworks department yeste rday
morning has been adhered TO generally,
many of the people today refraining from

lawn laps are not opened for forty eight

Of the fall come on.
II is said by engineers that there are
only about 3S second feet OF water flow

OF the canyon and that that quantity is
not nearly sufficient to supply the needs
OF the farms of the rural districts In
this hot weather Many Of the crops are
just maturing and they need water:

he has found that Ogden City is turning
nearly as much water back Into the
