Telegrams Galore

All day long the office of Governor Emmet O'Neal has been crowded with telegraph messenger boys who have been bringing to his excellency advices as to who In Birmingham is best fitted for a place on the commission. Friends of MT Jones have submitted more of these tel eRrams than have the other forces, though the situation relative to the ap- yet unchanged.
 Owing to the lively scrimmage that has been going on between the Jones-Ward forces. some disauieted citizens have sug- gested that the governor might settle the question by appointing along with Mayor Exum on the commission two men who have heretofore not been mentioned in connection with the office, though these views are largely in the minority. Also 1t would seem that the governor has def initely settled upon Messrs. Exum. Lane ard Jones, though persistency of rumors is constantly tending to throw differ ent light on the situation.
 Throughout the day there was little tall of the recall feature of the act not meet ing constitutional requirements in every way, the understanding being that the matter Is one which should properly be left to the courts for decision.
 Ward Headquarters
 John w. Altman, supporter of George B. Ward. has opened up head quarters in Montgomery. and is en- deavoring in every way to have Mir. Ward appointed in MT. Jones' place on the commission. With Mir. Altman are P. G. Bowman and Jesse Stallings.
 Gen. J. B. Scully. state adjutant gen. eral. is tentatively at work for Mir. Jones. assisted by delegations which are constantly coming to the city in in- terest of the alderman.
 All factions, regardless of the com- missioners to be appointed. seem to have centered upon a desire to have the message signed by the governor at once, but they are remaining over in Mont gomery in order that they might be present at the legislature should the bill be sent back to that body for modification. Should any clauses appear to the governor as in need of modification 1t is certain that he will send a message to that effect to the solons It is quite probable that tomorrow will settle this point, in- asmuch as the legislature meets again at noon on Wednesday to take up the work where 1t left off on Friday.
 Charges Against Jones
 Regarding the charges against NIT. Jones, his friends state that If they have been placed before the governor they are of the kind which can read fly be refuted. They state that all men in public office regularly have charges preferred against them to postpone ac- ton on unique situations.
 Mir Jones' friends add. moreover. that the Exum charges have been an swered to the satisfaction of the cit- izens of Birmingham and that MT. Jones can be as easily placed in the clear.

DIRECT VOTE GOES | DOWN IN DEFEAT
Bill Lacked Four Votes of Carrying
BORAH IS OPTIMISTIC
Says Measure Will Be Introduced at
 Next Session and Has no Doubt But What the Vote Will Be Favorable

Washington, February &--The Senate
 today defeated tho resolution proposing
 an amendment to the constitution so as
 to provide that senators be elected by
 direct vote of the people. brave fight
 had been made by the supporters of the
 measure as was indicated by the vote. Fifty-four senators stood for the resolu-
 ton and thlrty-three against it. Though this division showed so large
 majority of the Senate to favor pop
 ular elections the number was not suf- ficlent by four 10 carry the measure,
 which required two-thIrds vote for It's success.
 1 Immediately after the reading of the | journal the popular election resolution way taken up during unanimous consent granted last week. So long had the resolution been before the Senate and so carefully had the membership been canvassei by its supporters and its op- ponents that 1t was recognized from the moment the question was brought up that 1t would go down in defeat. Never
 theless there was a large attendance on the floor.
 Though it had been understood that de- bate would shut off on the measure when called up, Senator Bacon, who determ- | lnedly has opposed the resolution as all | tered under the Sutherland amendment, placing the control of the elections ill
 the hands of Congress, hoped to have an amendment adopted that might rem der the measure acceptable to scme or | the southern senators. The Georgia sem ators effort was to provide that the fed eral supervision of the elections should apply only in those states wherein the | legislatures had failed to designate the
 manner and method of holding the cleo | tons.
 l Vice President Sherman ruled the Bacon amendment out of order and the
 roll call was begun. It was followed
 with deepest interest For moment if res thought the ca,cuiations would h'
 upset for when Senator Gallingers name
 was reached his answer was aye
 Looks of surprise were exchanged bS
 many senators, for the long debates or
 the question had developed no more in
 veterate enemy to the resolution than tho
 New Hampshire senator.

CYNTHIA GREY'S
CORRESPONDENCE

Dear Miss Grey: VIII you please
tell me the difference between a
kitchen stove and range and what
salary Ty Cobb gets and what part
Of the shoe is called the vamp. A
Times Reader
With the Introduction of coal as
fuel FOR general use, came the kitch-
en- range, to be followed by the gas
range. Our grandmothers and great
great-grandmothers used wood for
culinary purposes and referred to the
kitchen stove. The word stove" in
connection with household cooking
is used, quite as frequently as
range" While the managers of the
Detroit ball club do not make known
the salaries of the players, II is gen.
orally believed, among the editors of
the sporting departments in the daily
newspapers and others in a position
! TO know, that Mr.. Cobb's contract
runs for three years at $4,000 per
annum. Webster says: "Vamp. the
part OF boot or shoe above the sole
and welt and in front of the ankle
seam"

IM0THER-IN-LAW AGAINST
HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
BY CYNTHIA GREY:

A man took his life the other day
because he was in debt, $500, with
no prospect of ever getting out In
vestigation showed that this had been
brought about by the refusal of his
mother and wife TO live together,
though the man was the SOLE support
OF each.
Religious differences made the two
women enemies and brought financial
ruin and q shameful ell to the man
who should have been dearer than
life to both. Verify. "a mans foes
are they OF his own household when
hate. masking under religion. takes
such q grip on mother and wife that
neither can endure the other, even
to save the life of the son and hus-
band
And the pity Of IL that the same
tragedy is being worked out in count
less other homes. where all might be
comfort and contentment IL two wo-
men could forget each her own I'M
portance. The mother refuses TO give
I'M her rights as mistress, the wife
clamors for hers. and the unlucky
man must either live between two
fires in his home or groan beneath
the burden OF providing a separate
dwelling for each woman.
II would seem that II their religion
did not command these women to
each esteem the other better than
herself" their love for the man
might induce them to bury the
Ratchet and bring happiness to the
one who Is striving to bring pleas
ure TO them.

WYKOFF PROVES
 HIS INNOCENCE

A rather curious incident hap pened the past week that looked serious for the parties concerned until the matter was cleared up in court. The incident happened at Mrs. Peters boarding house. It seems and has been proven that Mrs. Peters had left or mis- placed the sum of $675 in gold Tn tEe room occupied ty Special Official Wykoff of the Santa Fe, when she supposed she put in in her trunk. Mr. Wykoff who came home through the night, found the money on his bed and could not imagine how 1t came there and took the money and put the same Tn the agents sate at the depot for safe-keeping un- til the owner of the money would make claim or identify the same, telling number of persons in town that he had the same and would return it to the rightful owner.
 A few days after he found thls money MT. Wykoff was on his way to Los Angeles to visit with his family, telling the parties who had the money to return it to the owners if they called for the same. In the meantime Mrs. Peters, who had lost the money suspected Mir. Wykof on account of his leaving so sud denly for Los Angeles after the incident, and she notified Sheriff Woods who telegraphed to Needles and had Mir. Wykoff ar rested and brought back to Winlow.
 When the incident was first made public there were expres- sions of doubt as to MT. Wykoff stealing the money and in court proved that he never had any intentions of that kind. Ever since MT. Wykoff came to Wins low he has made many friends and has the best of record, and we are glad to say that he has been cleared of the charge. The money was returned to Mrs. Peters.
