AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Public Car Is Struck by One Belong
 ing to J. D. Brandes

An auto belonging to J. D. Carlisle and was struck yesterday by car belonging to M. Brandes, driven by a negro chauf- feur, Joe Smith. No one was injured. The damage done to the car will not amount to very much, but if the auto had been running swiftly it is thought that se- rious injury would have resulted to the occupants of the car. as it was struck about the middle 'of the body.
 It is asserted by an eyewitness that the car of Carlisle was coming toward town on the right hand side of Eighteenth street, near Avenue G, when 1t was struck by the car belonging to Brandes. An other car was on the other side of the street going up the street and when the car crossed the intersection of the street on Avenue G, Carlisles car could not turn to the other side, as it would have struck the car coming up the street, and as both drivers saw that an accident was unavoidable, both reduced their speed and tried to stop.
 The negro chauffeur was unaccompanied but the other car contained the chauf- feur, George Minor, and the owner, J. D. Carlisle. The damage is.estimated at S1OO and it Is thought that 1t will be re- paired and ready for service in few days, but in the meanwhile another car will be substituted for it.

AUTOMOBILE BURNS UP
Car Caught on Fire on Tuxedo Road
 Yesterday Afternoon

A Jackson automobile, No. 1241, belong ing to M. Brandes, burned up on the Tuxedo road near Boyes yesterday about noon. The same car previously In the day had collided with a car belonging to J. D. Carlisle. The cause of the fire Is unknown but it is thought it was caught by the ignition of gasoline which es- capped from the reservoir. The car was driven by a negro named Joe Smith.
 After colliding with the Carlisle car the chauffeur had taken the car to the garage to have the clutch adjusted, and seem ingly had been out by North Birming- ham testing the adjustment of the clutch and had taken the road from North Bir- mingham to Boyles. The car caught on fire just where the road from that place joins the Tuexod road al the crossing of the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 The negro started to cross this track and had thrown the engine into second speed and just as he crossed the track he threw tte engine back into high and then for some unknown reason the car suddenly was wrapped in flames. The negro immediately jumped from the car and came to town, where he reported the accident to the owner, M. Rrandes.

 President Taft had with him on the Crevy Chase golf links Gen. Clarence Ed wards and Maj A. W. Butt, when the storm broke. Because of the suddenness of the downpour the three were drenched. Led by the President they fled to the nearest shelter. the caddy house. where they remained until the downpour ceased and then resumed their game over soggy course
 At the capitol the beating of the hail and rain on the glass roof of the Sen ate chamber caused such din that Sem ator Borah, who was speaking. could not make himself heard and the Senate was obliged to adjourn.

SITUATION IN TEXAS
Nally of Postal Telegraph Explains
 Recent Changes in That State

New York, June 27.-(Special)- )-E J. Nally, vice president and general man. ager of the Postal Telegraph- Cable company, being asked in regard to re- ports from Texas that the Postal Tele- graph Cable company of Texas had sold It's interest in the Texas telegraph lines to the Western Union, said;
 'The regular Postal company, name ly, the Mackay system, has not sold out its wires in Texas, Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas and Louisiana to the Vest ern Union or the Bell company or any one else. On the contrary the Mackay people have, during the past few months, built a line southward from Wichita, Kan, clear across the state of Oklahoma and into Texas to Fort Worth and Dallas, and are now build ing rapidly to Houston and Galveston on the gulf and on to cover all parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas as rapidly as lines can be- Nuilt. What has taken place Is this:
 For many years we have transacted telegraph business in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas by connecting with the Postal Telegraph Cable company of Tex as. This last company was and is still controlled by Bell interests. By reason of the fact that the Bell interests are now In control also of the Western Union, the Mackay people have started to build their own lines so as to conduct their own telegraph business in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas instead of having it con ducted by the Bell company, namely, the Postal Telegraph-C company of Tex as. This last named company, the Texas Postal, is now retsliating by turning over It's eastbound telegraph business to the Western Union at Memphis and New Or leans and other points, instead of turn ing 1t over to the Macllay company as heretofore This means that at points in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas not all ready reached by the Mackay lines, the public will have their eastbound tele- grams sent over the Western Union wires no matter to what company they give their telegrams In other words. if they hand their telegrams to Postal Tele- graph-Cable company of Tevas. the latter will turn them over to the Western union for transmission to the east, instead of turning them over to the Postal, con trolled by the Mackay interests. It re- mains to be seen whether the public will tolerate that kind of combination

DIRECT ELECTION
 BILL ID CONFERENCE

Washlngon, June 27.-The first step toward settlement of differences be- tween Senate and House on the joint resolution providing for the election of senators by direct vote was taken to- day when the Senate granted a con- ference and appointed Senators Clark of Wyoming, Nelson of Minnesota and Bacon of Georgia as conferees to meet a similar committee of the House yet to be appointed.
 The fight in conference will be over the adoption of an amendment by Sem ator Bristow by the Senate which re- tains to the federal governments right to control the election of senators.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
 WON'T APOLOGIZE
Says He Is Not Conscious Even of Trivial
 Wrong

Washington, June 27.-Samue Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor will not apologize to the supreme court of the District of Columbia when he appears in company with Secretary Frank Morrison and Vice President John Mitchell, July +. to show cause why they should not be held in contempt.
 The case grew out of the recent litiga- tion between the federation and the Buck Stove and Range company of St. Louis. It was suggested by a committee of at torneys who recommended a re-opening of the contempt proceedings that an apology from the labor leaders might be accepted as a complete reparation.
 'If I was conscious of having done a trivial wrong, even to child" said MT. Gompers, ''I would apologize. Under the existing conditions I do not see my way clear"

Letters to the Editor
The High License Saloons

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having read several articles in your columns in favor of high license, I feel impelled to give my testimony. I am a Methodist minister, with many years ex- perience in Boston, Mass, Milwaukee, Wis, and fl years in Chicago. I have preached under state prohibition eleven years. in Massachusetts, from 1859 to 1870; for three years in Milwaukee. where we were practically under free fees. When I went to Chicago in 1870 the H. cense feo was $50. The high license fever struck us in 1882 and the ministers pe- titioneG the state legislature to raise the fee to $500, which was done. In 1905 the city council raised the price to $10Oo. The reports show that there are now 740O saloons licensed in that city at $10O0 each per year, yielding to the city a revenue Of $740e.OOO annually.
 For the last F years I have been off cially connected with the prosecution of sa1oonkeepers for selling liquor to minors and to drunkards who have minor chill dren. We have prosecuted as many as 26 eases In a single week.
 This experience makes me bold to give my opinion with regard to high license"
 l. The criminal character of the aver age saloonist has not improved under high license. have said this many times in Chicago and have never been contra dictel.
 9. The higher the license the greater the violations of law by the saloonkeepers.
 3. The city officials allow this violation Tn order, as one mayor said to me. that these poor devils may make enough to pay for their license" They violate the law by selling on Sundays, late hours, to drunkards and to minors. They har- bor gamblers and prostitutes. and little attention is taken by the city authorities unless compelled to do so by non-offi- cias like our Citizens league.
 4. The city becomes dependent upon the 1iauor traffic for it's money from licenses This acts as a bribe upon the public and like all bribes it corrupts public con- science. The public conscience has be- come paralyzed by the ST 100000 brbe
 ,. High license does not prevent illicit traffic; first, because saloonkeepers who are daily violating the law dare not pros ecute o1her kloidtois' secoiu' the preWeIS do not care who sells their beer If 1t Is sold and they get the money and the price charged the illicit traffic is always higher than to others: and, most of the saloons are controlled by the brewing companies, one company paying for 120O lcenses.s
 My home is in Evanston, H., a city of over 25.OOO inhabitants, joining Chicago . on the north We have far less trouble in protecting our boys than in Chicago We have prohibition. Chicago has high license.
 Conclusion-The higher the license the greater the violation of law.
