Monte Vista to sign contracts for
themselves and friends to work in
the beet fields; also tenants have
been signing themselves up to
take care OF beet acreage. This
morning, the train brought in
some forty of these men-and their
families-many weeks ahead Of the
time they were expected. So Mr.
Wright has been enjoying little
leisure today in his efforts TO find
shelter for the newcomers. He
says he will find it but at latest
advices, his confidence was all ne

ALLEGED BLIND TIGERS !
ARE ELECTED BY MAYOR
Mayor of Admission RoutS AL
legged VioIators of Prohi-
bition Law
Especial Dispatch to The JournaI.)


ANNISTON, Ala, June Alas re-
suit of their several appearances in the
limelight recently in connection with
charges of alleged violation of the pro-
hibition laws of the city, notice has
been served on the landlords of build
ings occupied by Ross Chairman and
John Eden and Charlie and Minnie Hig-
ginbotham that their tenants must be
elected.
This notice was served at the instance
of Mayor Wikle, who has been trying
for some time to break up the alleged
liquor violations of the accused. Chat
man, together with his brother, viii
chatham, now fugitive from justice,
became notorious as operator of the
so-caIled 'Tiger Within the Shadow of
the Church." a name applied to /his liv-
cry stable, Immediately behind the
Christian church here, which was Sc
verely arraigned by Minister Belt White
and Nraided several times by officers. al
though the officers were never able TO
convict the alleged operators, who al
ways succeeded in covering up their
tracks Later the stable was moved
to an alley near Ninth and Noble
streets, where chatham and Eden are
now associated in business.
Higginbotham and his wife have been
closely connected with the ChatmanS Tor
some time. Their place on Noble street
in the Mobile block, between Ninth and
Tenth, was recently raided and some Ii
quor captured, as result of which
Higginbotham was placed under arrest
1t was also here that Higginbotham
recently tried to kill his wife, then shot
himself with suicidal intent, as a re-
suit of which he spent several weeks
in the hospital. II was also here that
they resided when Mrs. Higginbotham
and Chairman made an assault on a
local Catholic priest who was trying to
patch up a quarrel between the woman
and her husband, and where chatham is
said to have slapped Mrs. Higginbotham
a few nights ago, for which he will be
tried this week.
All of the defendants in the cases
have figured in local court history for
some time, and much interest is being
manifested in the ejectment proceedings.
1t is believed that they will resist the
ejectment and that the city will have to
enforce the orders which have been
served against the owners Of the build
ings where the accused persons are now
residing and conducting business.

MEN ARE BEST
DECLARES 7. R. MARSHALL
Illinois Governor Speaks to
Pennsylvania Graduates
Value of Education

PHILADELPHIA, June 22-Speaking
on the theme The University Man"
Gov. Tho-as r. Marshall, of Indiana,
at the commencement exercises of the
University of Pennsylvania, yesterday
outlined the worth of college training to
a young man and the necessity of ideals
as he basis of true success.
Scholastic training is not needful ror
the making of a career in America,
said Governor Marshall. THE number
of unframed who have succeeded in ev-
cry department of life, as the world
counts success, is too large to admit a
doubt of tn statement. 1t is possible
for him who will pay the price to buy
anything in the republic. 1t is not neeo-
full upon this occasion to discuss wheth-
or the things thus bought are worth the
price thus paid"
The governor discussed the question
from the other point of view, maintain
ed that while success is often attained
without college training, still the ad-
vantage of higher education is so great
that it cannot be ignored. There are
out two great primal forces in every ana
all life-right and wrong" continued
the governor The shalls and the shan
nots of desire. prejudice and expedieLcy
are so numerous as to lose the untraine0
man in a wilderness of doubt. If he
come to power, he has hardly an even
chance Of leading Alright He may not
know whether he is going and any guioe
post may defect him. If he be called
upon to choose a leader he has hardly
an even chance TO select the worthier
one.
"If four years of unrestrained thought,
unprejudiced gathering of data, unham-
pered fixing of life's principles do not
convince men about it is better to have
influence than power-no preachment
of mine would avail. 1t is 'kismet'
when the university man strikes a solar
plexus blow-and may God city him
when ne strikes it"
