OBTAINED
broner and Hillberg in City
Friday Evening and Sc
cure Victims Name

"A name written on the wall Of the
yer shed of the Great Northern de-
pt in East Grand Forks served to
entity John Condor of BLOOMINGTON,
T., as the man who was killed at
rookston on Monday night when he
as crushed between two cars while
tealing ride.
The recollection Of Otto Hillbere
las responsible for the Identification.
illberg remembered that, when he
company with the man who was
tlled was waiting to catch the train
Crookston, they had written their
ames on the wall OF the depot. Hill
lerg and Coroner StenshoeA came
the city Friday night and after q
tligent search, found the name.
Otto Hillberg and Condor had been
this city Monday and had told of
heir intention Of stealing ride to
Ero0kston. They waited around the
city until evening and caught No. s.
Hillberg climbed on the tender of the
engine and Condor shouted that he
would catch the train farther back.
He climbed in between the baggage
car and a coach and the next time his
companion saw him was when Con-
don was lying dead between the
tracks at Crookston.
Hillberg obtained work with far
mer near Crookston and kept away
from the city for fear he would be
prosecuted for stealing a ride. He
was finally located by Coroner STEMS
hoef and stated that he did not know
the dead mans name that all he knew
of him was that he was from Illinois.
Hillberg finally remembered that the
two. had written their names on the
wall Of the Great Northern depot at
East Grand Forks. He said that the
two names were together. the I'M
known mans cognomen being direct
~ under him.
Coroner Stenshoel and Hillberg
came to this city at $50 o'clock FRI
day evening and with the aid Of q
number Of men who happened to be
at the depot, they began q search for
the names. After looking for nearly
an hour, Hillbsrg's name was found
by Collector George Wong Of the Ev-
ening Times, who was assisting In
the search. Az told by Hillberg, Con-
don's name was directly beneath his
and he remembered the signature.
This is probably the first time that
name SO inscribed has served as q
means Of Identification. Coroner
Stenshoel has wired the authorities
at Bloomington, Ill. !.

A MAN PRAYER
From Human Life.

From f1uHldH iLiiC'
 "Give me, God vibrant flame of woman for mate. Make her, I pray Thee, a woman of merriment. Fill her with a master love for the strenuous Enlarge her vision so that it will see all things, and make her wise with that wisdom which shall let her see naught that demands her forgiveness Give her a body compounded of strength and symmetry. Send surging through her a spirit elemental. Fill her with n love for the open air, the high hills. the winding streams. the storms that send snow and sleet across the wastes. Make her vbrate with the joy of the light ming flash and the crash of the thunder Let her ever be a silent worshiper of the stars. Make her, I pray Thee, q sweetheart of the Natural I would have her frank and fearless and gentle fit to play her hand in the game of life in the manner of a master. And when in Thy goodness Thou hast given this woman unto me, let me ever find in her something elusive-something that shall ever keep me searching joyously and with wonder. Give me, God, a woman WHO VIII ueiiahu hioio ol iiie than I have ever dared to demand of myself-who shall help me liberate that creative energy necessary for the ma terialization of my dreams. If it be Thy will that this woman be not given to he in the flesh, give her to me as an Ideal Woman who shall lead me daily to render to my neighborS the service most expressive of my great love for her."

The Si,OOO, Bond Issue

Public sentiment is so strongly in favor of a s1OOO,OOo bond issue for Jefferson countv for good roads that there can be scarcely any doubt as to the proposition heinz submitted to the voters. Ten or 15 years ago $250,OOO would have been con- sidered a large appropriation, if not ex- travagant, for the improvement of the highways
 When the question of providing a court house for this county was under consid- eration many prominent citizens thought that s3O0cO or $40,00O, would be as much as should be expended on such struct- ure. But after a campaign of education the present handsome courthouse was built at a cost of between s3Oo,o0o and building, which was ample up to few years ago, is altogether inadequate to- day The county did all that could reas- onably have been expected 20 years ago. but in the near future we must have larger and better courthouse.
 Jefferson county has increased 60 per cent in population within the past 10 years, and there has been a vast gain in taxable values. This is the imperial coun- ty of Alabama, and it will remain the inn perial county. A good roads bond issue of S1,000,O00 would be relatively no larger today than a s25O0o0 issue would have been a few years ago. The county's credit is high, and a liability of s1,O00000 ere ated for the purpose of giving us a fine system of roads would instead of impair ing the countys credit, help it, for the better the roads the more rapid will be the eountys increase of population and wealth.

No Arrests on Trivial Charges

The report of the chief of police for January shows fewer arrests than in some previous months, and a larger per- centage of convictions than usual. The greatest number of arrests in January were for disorderly conduct, and of the 22S prisoners arraigned before the police court, POS were convicted. Of the 155 arrests for drunkenness there wese 136 convictions. The total arrests for all causes were 1161, and the total con- victions were 9lo. In the month of Janu- ary 191O,. the arrests totaled 12l7.
 Under former administrations of the police department the policy was to roll up a large number of arrests. Many men were nabbed by the police and ar raigned in the police court on very trivial charges. Considering the fact that Bir- mingham's limits now embrace an area of 4S square miles, the police report for last month reflects high credit upon the chief and his men. The force had to be

TORTOISE SAUSAGE

From the w NdSHlHSlOI I1erdiu
 Dr. w. T. Tuck. in charge of the New York office of the bureau of animal in- dustry, who was seen at the New Will lard, in speaking of the uses of porpoise meat, said: 'Porpoise meak is not at all bad I have tasted 1t and found 1t rather palatable The porpoise, being a mammal, has firm. red flesh, and there is only a faint suggestion of fishy taste Porpoises are caught in nets off the North Carolina coast and are then slaughtered like other animals.
 q have never tested the nutritive value of the flesh, but l see no reason why it should not be fairly satisfactory as food As to sausages made from it, If they are placed on the market the regulations [reouire that they shall be labeled as con- sisting of half beef and half porpoise.
 There are restaurants in Boston, the very home of the sacred codfish, which are advertising a porpoise substitute fol srloin. Porpqise could be eaten with rel ish by persons who would run a mile tc get away from halibut or mackerel. Theii top layer may be used for shoes and satchels, and hundreds of women of fash ion wearing belts of porpoise hide think they are far more stylish than suede Soup bones do not grow on porpoises but they have ffppers from which a de lectable soup Is made, known as 'potagt fin de siecle.' The bones are good foi buttons and the meat is good to eat. and it may also be converted into frankfurteri ] which need no muzzles."

SON OF RICHARD MANSFIELD

, schoolmates were the dramatic personae. Sometimes he acted out fragments from Shakespeare, most bewitching of Rosa linds-most irresistible invitation to talk Of lovel His mother, in these plays. took not only the part of audience, but of dramatic critic.
 Since then he has been for two years at a school near Paris. His wonderful voice is developing, and for all anybody knows he may some day feel the lure Of the operatic stage. The schoolboy sketches which illustrate his letters are full of spirit and originality. He loves his violin, and he reads, as he has done since babyhood, everything on which he can lay his hands. He has grown tall and vigorous and rugged but somewhere under his thatch of tan-colored hair he keeps poems and lovely dreams. ard plots of plays that sometimes he vii. write and act. Of one thing I am certain, wherever he goes and whatever he does, Beauty will betide him.

CONFEDERACY's FIFTY YEARS

From Lesles Weekly
 Montgomery, Ala. is preparing to ob- serve the 5Oth anniversary of the estab- lshinent of the Southern Confederacy, which took place in that city on Februa- date mark in American history and some notice ought to he taken of its semi-cen- tennial when it arrives.
 Soon after virginia's separation from the union the Confederate capital was removed to Richmond and it remained there until the collapse after the sur render of Lee in April, 1865. And the im- 1rovement in conditions which has come since 1865 has been far greater in the SC uth than it has been in the rest of the country. Of the 5000, 100000 product of the farms of the United States in 1910, a large proportion has been scored by the southern states. Of the seven staple Irish potatoes and rye-common to all
 the country the south's ratio of gain in the past ten years has been 104 per cent, while that of the rest of the country las been only 85 per cent. In cotton, the production of which is southern monopoly, the gain has been still greater iii the decade. And, moreover, coal iron ard other minerals, practically unknown in the south half a century ago and but little known a quarter of century ago, are now among that regions largest as- sets. In cotton and steel manufacture, too. the south is pushing rapidly to the front

Senator JOhnSton'S Speech

A feature of the consideration of the report on Senator Lorimer yesterday was Senator Joseph r. Johnston's force ful speech. As Alabamas s junior senator was one of the subcommittee charged with the investigation of Lorimers right testimony as it came from first hands and was, therefore, in position to dis cuss it more clearly than those who have to reach their conclusions from the print ed record.
 No matter what might have been thought of Senator Lorimer's case all must admit that in pointing out "falla- cies of conclusion Senator Johnston is exceptionally strong. He was at his best His speech was trenchant from begin ming to end. It bristled with. wit and its irony was keen, while in the argumenta- tive portions of his speech the senator was at once serious and eloquent. Sen ator Johnston never minced matters and if may be doubted if more notable speech has been made in the Senate this winter than his of yesterday.

CATS ON THE STAGE

From the New York Morning Telegraph.
 David Belaseo, who has always paid the greatest attention possible to detail n staging a play, told some friends re- gently about an experience he had one time with a cat. It was in the early days of his career. He was staging Heart Of Oak and a cat was needed in the iJ oduction.
 "Cats,". said MT. Belasco, have more temperament than any woman star I ever saw They are awfully hard to instruct in stage work. In fact it is we'll nigh impossible to teach a cat to act.
 Tn Hearts of Oak I wanted a cat and having secured one, I wanted her to have a part. My plan was to have her ap- pear in the sitting room, run to the fire and lap up a saucer of cream I tried her. but she wouldn't go to the cream as I wanted her to. Finally worked cut plan to make her go through her part properly. I put her in box that was so small she was cramped and had the box kept all day under the stage where it was cold. When her cue came the cat was released, and, being all cramped up and cold, she made for tho fire invariably without delay. There she found the cream and having had nothing to eat all day, she lapped it up eagerly and then washed her face with her paws. It was exactly what I wanted. After put ting the plan into operation I found the cat actress was absolutely reliabe-in- deed. she was much more so than some of the human meWbers of my company.

Greaf Hotel Town

"Richmond, with a census population of 127O0o, is the greatest hotel city of the 100000 class in this country, not ex- cepting famous tourist towns,' said a member of Birmingham's Virginia colony
 q was just reading in Rchmand pa per the account of a handsome hotel which is being built on the site of the cid Y. M C. A. building at the corner of Main and Sixth streets. This will make about six hotels for Richmond that will rank as first class. and there are a numb2rNof respectable hostelries of the cheaper class. The Jefferson hotel, which cost over $200O,Oo0, is the most artistic structure of the kind in this country. It reminds travellers of one of those beauti- ful Florentine palaces. With the new hotel, which by the way, Is called The Progress,' and is to be Il stories high, Richmond will have accommodations enough to take care of the next national democratic convention. One noticeable thing about Richmond, fine hotels are nlanned and started wi,h little or no preliminary talk

Winston Is Growing

Winston county is still developing as rapidly or more rapidly than any other county in north Alabama" said Judge John H. Curtis of Double Springs, who is spending a few days in Birmingham.
 Winston has shown wonderful develop ment along all lines during the past few years and it seems that it is just now getting it's natural pace. Great things will be accomplished in the future. The farmers are in fine condition and the prospects for the year are most encour- aging
 'The farm lands of Winston county are surprisingly productive as is being dem- onstrated by numbers of farmers who are not only making a good living for themselves, but are producing surplus crops.
 Fruit growing is one of the great in- dustries of the county that is being de- veloped on large and profitable lines and is full of promise for the future"

IRVING AS EUGENE ARAM
e Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 One of the greatest of Sir Henry Ir-~ wings creations was that of Eugene Wills. MT. Wills wrote the play for Irving because of the actorls4 great sue cess in reciting Hoods poem of Eugene Aram,'' although the drama did not follow either the Hood conception nor the Bulwer novel on the same subject. It was in three acts and had only five characters Irving gave it only occa-
 sionally at home and not more than
 three or four times in this country, and
 then by request. That was in the early
 'SOs
 The character of Aram Is similar to
 that of Matthias in "The Bells,p man
 of mind and position, crushed Under the
 weight of crime. The Wills play was
 very simple. The principal characters
 were Aram and Houseman, the latter
 the only one who knew of Aram's guilt.
 Bulwers Madeline was replaced by Ruth.
 a similar character, but more conspicu-
 ously and devotedly attached to Aram.
 There were just two settings, a beautiful
 little garden and cottage scene, gor-
 geous with climbing roses, and a church. yard by night.
 The gradual breaking of the charac- ter was portrayed with Irvings pecu- liar skill in depicting the graphic. Just before the end, in the churchyard, Aram
 made confession to Ruth. It was
 memorable picture, this confession scene. At first the figures could be barely distinguished in the gloom. Ruth had searched for Aram all night. She found him hopelessly crushed by the load that had finally become too. heavy to bear. As the scene progressed the stage gradually became lighter. As the confession began there were faint streaks of pink, denoting the approach of dawn. The sky grew brighter as the confession proceeded and when the wretched Aram 1 received the forgiveness and blessing of Ruth, the face became illumined with a smile and with the glow of the sun as 1t rose in splendor to full view, mak- ing of the churchyard and adjacent for est picture of uncommon beauty. It was one of those remarkable effects for which Irving was celebrated as a pro- ducer, and its. development was the more impressive because of the striking sym bolism. 4,

Remarkable Absence of bitterness

q was in All bana during the amend ment campaign In the fall of 1909 when tn statewide prohibitionists tried to infect their doctrines into the consti- tutior" sald John J. Paynter of Gin cinnati, "and I well recall the bit terness that was then engendered. l had never taken any interest in the prohibition question but l have been m active democrat ever since l be- came of voting age and had frequent Iy been active in campaign work in Ohio; but J had never seen more i'll feeling in politics than was manifest in this state. I spent several days in Montgomery. week in Mobile and day in Birmingham, and in all these place the campaign was red hot.
 "The defeat of the amendment was doubtless a good thing for Alabama, but what I started out particularly to say is that I find not only an absence of bitterness in this state now, but comparatively little interest ip the sta wide prohibition cause. Local op- ton is certainly democratic doctrine and I suppose one may assume that Alabama will get back to democratic bed rocn.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Need of Small Industries

T was very much interested in the views of T. c. Powell, vice president of the Queen and Crescent route regard ing the location here of smaller indus tries, said prominent man yesterday. "1 am convinced that he is right when it is pointed out that Birmingham should hustle for the smaller plants
 ''I am told that Bessemer, our highly regarded little city next door. dropped all other matters and is after the smaller plants. That city has the correct ideas about this and it would be we'll for Bir- mingham to follow the advice of Vice President Powell and get out after these smaller plants.
 There can be no logical argument against such a commended plan. There is no question but that it would benefit all of the people here and would create such a demand for our local product as to almost place Birmingham independent of outside iron buyers for the consump- tion of raw materials. That would be great condition and I am very much pleased with it. I hope the Chamber of Commerce will get busy and secure us these smaller plants"

To Own Legation Buildings

The house of representatives in passing 0 bill for the purchase of sites in foreign capitals upon which our government will erect suitable embassies, legations ano consulates-general, has done good thing. In the early days of the republic Title thought was given to such matters as the housing of our diplomatic. repre- sentatives The United States had sore need for all it's funds here at home.
 But this country is great world power how Moreover, it is well able to provide adequate residences and official quarters for those sent abroad in a diplomatic or consular capacity. It is estimated that s3OO0,0OO will acquire all the property Ieeded in the various countries to which this government sends accredited repre- sentatives. Such an appropriation will be far from wasteful It will, in fact,
 
 come when the government must house It's ambassadors, ministers and consuls- general in manner befitting the dignity of their respective positions Jeffersonian simplicity is all right as theory, per- haps, but 8 certain amount of style and a certain conformity to social conven- tions is highly proper and profit ble American ambassadors and minist CTS plenipotcntiary are poorly paid as com- the diplomatic corps accredited to the President of the United States receive, and unless this government advances salaries materially or provides houses for those who represent this coun- try in foreign lands, only rich men can be Appointed to the important positions in question. f'rasi- dent Taft in a speech delivered before the National Board of Trade year ago put this whole matter plainly when he said:
 We boast ourselves a democratic country. We say that there is no place within the gift of the people to which we may not select the most humble in- habitant. providing he be fit to discharge it's duty, and yet we have an arrange ment which makes it absolutely impossi- ble for anyone but millionaire to occupy the highest diplomatic post.
 Now I ask you whether that is con- sistency; whether it is not the purest kind of demagogy By demagogy 1 mean the advancement of an argument which
