Central Methodist Episcopal church
on the first Thursday night in De-
cember, the Whatsoever Circle gave
one of these delightful affairs on the

aggressive corps of churchwomen,
who served on committees.
Beautifully-bedeck booths, to
the number of four, presided over
by beautifully-gowned women, to the

two aprons. And "Everyman 2"
Well, he needed whatever he could
be persuaded to buy. "Everyman"

names of the churchwomen in
charge:

Government Active

Indianapolis, December 4.90Anearrest effort will be made by the government to bring to justice every man who was involved in the most damnable conspiracy ever entered into in this country" said United States District Attorney Charles w. Miller today in discussing the federal grand jury's investigation of dynamitng operations of the McNamara brothers and others alleged to have been assoc- ated with them.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was char acterized as ''an unsafe leader'' by MT Miller, who said it was time for labor leaders Who stand on honest ground to take charge of labor organizations
 "The investigation now being made by complete. said Mir Miller. The people are entitled to know all the facts and all the facts will be known at the proper time.
 There is no occasion for any person to be misled by false issues. This is not 8 contest between capital and labor Capitalists and laborers who believe in law and order must and will stand to- gether.
 Such unsafe leaders as Gompers must be retired. Let men who stand on hon est ground come to the front. The destruction of life and property must cease. Acts of force and violence must cease and all yiolators must be brought to lusttcen

J. A. Crane, clerk of the city court
 Accounts and vouchers in the offices oi U. S. Drago, ex-sheriff, and. Phelan B. Doyle, tax collector, are pronounced cor rect.
 The report follows closely upon the heels of the sensational report published last week, when it was announced rha: in the neighborhood of s5oo0o was due the county of Mobile by the various of ficials. For some reason the report on the amount of money due the state was not announced at that time.
 With respect to the item of $9, ,491. .97 due the state on escaped taxes, and Which is mentioned in connection with the com hent on the accounts of E. D. Lauren dine, tax assessor, the examiner states that the Stonewall Insurance company owes $5310.SS of the amount, while the Factors and Traders Insurance company owes the state the remaining sum Of S4lSl.S9. The escapes are caused, the re- port says, by these companies exempt ing from their assessments as non-tax- able certain bonds and securities. Atten- ton is called to the fact that such eX- emptions are not permitted by the law The matter has been placed in the hands of the tax commission of Mobile county for collection. Rather caustic comment is made in connection with the report ''There have probably been rarely a. many erroneous assessments, msde scriptions of property and refunding oi taxes in Mobile county, the report says ''as there have been in all the state com bined. Much of this was originally caused by the old French and Spanish grants An accurate, legal description of all real property in Mobile is badly needed.
 During the year 1910 the county is shown to have paid into the state the sum of. sSll ,699.3S, against Sl44,547.64 re ceived from the state.

announced that he could put the Baihs

announced that he could put the Bains Ion easy street for the rest of their lives"
 From this point the report shows Franklin said that Bain had beer | summoned for the McNamara jury and l that if he would serve 1t would bt made worth his while" Franklin told Mrs. Bain they (the rrosecution) were spending all kinds of money to buy witnesses and jurors and we may as well do it too" Franklin is quoted as having of fered to give Bain $500 if he would qualify as a juror and $3500 more if he would vote for acquittal. Mrs. Bain was told to assure her husband he would not be forced to forego scruple in voting acquittal for there will be plenty of testimony to prove that they (the McNamaras) are innocent.
 Then Franklin is alleged to have asked whether he would dare 'ap- proach Bain. Mrs. Bain said she advised him not to attempt il, then she said she was weak enough to consent to try to bribe her husband"
 Mrs. Bain said that what passed be- tween her and her husband God only knows" but that finally Bain agreed to the plan.
 Franklin came to her house that HlSnI put she was not there. WHcu she came home she said she asked her husband what he had replied. lie replied the report said that he had $400 but that he wished he had never gone
 into Franklin's proposition.
 Mrs. Bain says she told her hus- band he could be disqualified and bo $400 to the good, and Bain replied that such a proceeding would not give him back his honor.
 Mrs. Bain's statement about the Bain' s relations with Franklin was made a few hours beforeS the McNamara jury was discharged. It is said the district attorney has promised the Rains they will not be arrested or involved be- yond testifying to proceedings against Franklin.
 Bain is a veteran of the civil war He was the first juror sworn in the McNamara case.
 District Attorney Fredericks says his information concerning the briberng of another juror Is as well established as the Bain case.

JAMES R. COLEMAN
 DIES AT RIVERSIDE
Gallant Confederate Veteran Passes
 Away-Many Logs Being Sawed

Riverside, December 4.-(Special. 1.-The remains of James R. Coleman, the father and founder of this place, have been laid to rest in the family burying ground at his large plantation. MT. Coleman was born November 10, 1S44, within one-quar- ter mile of his residence at the time of his death At the age of r he volun- teered as a soldier in the Civil war, en- listing with Company F, Tenth Alabama regiment, with Col. John H. Forney in command, and Capt. Jim Truss in charge of his company. They were mustered out at Truss Ferry on the morning of May 14 1861, going to Montgomery, and from there direct to the battefields in Vir- ginia.
 Mir. Coleman was known far and wide as man that was truth, honest and up- right in all his dealings, and could num- Der his friends by the hundreds. He was married on July 10, 1867 to Miss Lizzie Dill, daughter of Anderson Dill, near McFal, Ala The funeral services, were veteran
 The veterans marched in a body from the residence to the grave which marked the final resting place for their beloved comrade whom the loved so well. The funeral procession was one of the longest and largest that has ever been witnessed at. any funeral ever held here.
 The plant of the Lathrop-Hatten Lum- Der company has been saving regularly recently, as the purchasing of another vast body of timber enabled them to get a better class of logs than they had been cutting, which also placed the timber in closer proximity to the river where it is f1oated down to the mill on boats.

 Would this offer include the books and records showing money received and paid out and for what purposes?" a re- porter asked.
 Mir Gompers replied with some heat: "I tried to make my statement as spc- cifc and accurate as possible.
 Asked if he knew whether he was un- der surV Veillance, MT. Gompers an- swered:
 'I know I am. Two of Burns men have been following me since my arrival in New York last Saturday night l go and come openly and have rOthng to conceal I intend to remain r5re until Tuesday and then go to Washington
 MT. Gompers made Q positive denial to a statement credited to Detective Will liam J. Burns that Clarence Darrow was present at the conference in Indianapo- lis in June.
 Tt is absolutely farse,' he said. 'grhere were forty labor leaders from all over the country present to discuss plans for rais- ing money for the defense of the Me- Namaras. There was no intimation cf their guilt given out at that meeting. -
