 Removal of Officials
 In Alabama. Governor O'Neal said, the chief executive was empowered to re- move minor officials. There could be no valid argument, in his opinion, against An extension of the power of removal, He would make 1t include any and all officials, for the moment an officeholder realized that he was under supervision and that his tenure of office depended upon good behavior, that officer would look well to his demeanor.
 Among the officers which the governor would have power to remove or suspend under an ideal state government, said Governor O'Neal. would be the sheriff
 He cited case In his state where the supreme court had upheld the contention of his attorney general and declared forfeited the office of a sheriff in whose county there had been a lynching.
 "Mobs won't be swift to bring dis credit upon their own county officers" :" he said, when they understand that a lyrching will result in removal of those officers"
 Governor Carey called attention to the need of uniform divorce legisla- tion.
 "The question is the most import ant of the day" he said. Personally come from woman suffrage state, and I want to see every other state in the union adopt woman suffrage. Let the women of tho country have a voice in deciding how to deal with this question. One man should marry but one woman and one woman should wed but one man. There is crying need for the states to get together on this. It would be wrong in my opinion to appeal to Congress for a constitutional amendment relating to divorce when the states themselves can deal effect lively with the problem

MYSTERY OF GIRLS
 DEATH IS LIFTING
Suicide Theory Abandoned. Arrests Expected Soon
 in Hawkins Case

Knoxville, September 12.-A special from Asheville, N C., says: A coroner's inquest held over the dead body Of Miss Myrtle Hawkins of Henderson vile resulted in a verdict that the young women came to her death as the result of chloroform being admin istered by an unknown party or parties
 Local police are cooperating with officers of Hendersonville in working out the mystery surrounding Miss Hawkins death. It Is stated by rel alive of the woman that a man in the Hendersonville vicinity is suspected ot having administered chloroform to the girl probably while in the woodland near Lake Oceola in which she was found dead.
 The theory, the relative states, Is that the girl was killed by inhalation of chloroform and was left dead or dying in the woods, her body rolling into the water later. The body was floating upon the surface of the wa ter face downward at the time 1t was found by boys who were fishing in the lake Physicians and others who ex- amined the body are said to have de- clared that it had never been sub merged in the water. It Is also assert ed that physicians state that the lungs contained no water, thus disproving the theory of drowning that was at first suggested.
 A relative of the woman states that she was engaged to Hal Cooper, a prominent young business man of Johnson City, Tenn, but that he is in no sense suspected of having been re- sponsible for her death, either direct ly or indirectly. The wedding was to occur at an early date.
 Asheville police officers are reticent about giving out any information as to the developments in the case ex- cept that a Hendersonville physician Is suspected of having murdered the girl. The suicide theory is not given ere dence.
 Hendersonville, N. C.. September 12.- The veil of mystery that has sur rounded the death of Miss Myrtle flaw kins, IT years of age, girl of this city whose body was found by several boys Sunday morning floating in Lake Oceola, is rapidly being lifted, and as the investigation proceeds the dis closures become more sensational.
 The. theory of suicide has been en- tirely abandoned and the coroner to- night announced that the body would be exhumed tomorrow and minute examination made. It was reported arrests would be made within the next 24 hours.
 Physicians stated chloroform and not drowning caused the young woman's death. She was absent from home for several days. When found the body to all appearances had been in the lake but short time. Rewards were off, fered by the city and county. Gov ernor Kitchen was asked to offer an additional reward on behalf of the state
 Hal Cooper Of Johnson City, to whom Miss Hawkins was engaged, Is ex- pected tomorrow to assist in the in- vestigation.

TIMES OF PEACE
 PREPARE FOR WAR"
Possibility of Franco-Ger- man War Denied, But
 Both Are Very Busy

Woldegk Mecklenburg streitletz, September 12.-The military maneuvers which are being watched by the Elm peror and notable staff of generals and have attracted more than usual in- terest because of the Moroccan situ ation, resulted today in one of those complete changes liable in war. Prince Frederick Leopold, commanding the invaders, had something of an advan tage at dawn, but nightfall saw his army, which everywhere was advance ing during the morning, turned out of their positions by enveloping opera tions on both Hanks and compelled to retire hastily several miles to the northwest of the line where the final battle is expected tomorrow
 Field Marshal Won Dergoltz, com mander of the defending force, justi- fled his reputation by executing a dou- ble flanking movement. The spectacle of the occasion was a grand change of entire division of the guard cav airy against the hill, over which the two armies had been struggling for hours.
 The charge came unexpectedly late in the afternoon. The prince had withdrawn his troops from the. center to save the threatened left wing, this leaving a gap
  enemy perceived the opportunity and thousands of horsemen charged up the hill which half an army corps shortly before had vainly attempted to take.
 The cavalry exposed to the heavy fire of the infantry and machine guns would have lost enormously in actual war but the umpires ruled that the charge had been successful This settled the fate of the left wing of the invaders, which al- ready had been outflanked. The other wing meanwhile had involved itself in dangerous position and also was com pelled to retire.
 The losses on both sides were very heavy, particularly on the part of the invaders, who sacrificed two complete bat teries and regiment of infantry.
 Villersect, France, September 12.- Aeroplanes, about 40 of which are in use in the various commands partici- pating in the autumn maneuvers, have added a thrill to the mimic war which will culminate tomorrow in a collision between the two branches of the French army.
 The machines can be seen at al- most any hour moving swiftly, usually at great heights or slowly blaming down in curves that their occupants may keep some particular part of the field under longer observation, then swiftly gliding away out of range of fire from below. Ths dmpires decide whether the venturesome craft have been winged by the watchful enemy on earth. Each aeroplane usually carries two men, one to pilot it and the other to make observations through spe- cially constructed glasses which are required owing to the different per spective from above. Accurate obser- vations are very difficult but excel lent scouting results are reported by all the commanders. No serious acci- dents have occurred. Lieutenant Lud- mann fell today when his Breguet ma chine capsized. The lieutenant. was only stunned
