Tenstrike Notified,

| Some time before the elections of
last Tuesday, interested Tenstrike
parties phoned to several local law
yers and to officials in the court house
and asked to be given the correct
hours for keeping open the polls.
They were notified that the correct
hours under the present laws are
from 6 a. m. until 8 p. m. The elec-
tion at Tenstrike was conducted dur
ing those hours.
Attorney General Lyndon A. Smith
was called by the Pioneer on the
phone last night and said that he
and one Of his assistants had looked
up the matter some time ago and
could find nothing to indicate that
the law providing for hours from 10
a. m. until p. m. had been changed.
He further gave it as his opinion
that if Tenstrike had kept open for
longer hours, it would not invalidate
the election. ts
Attorney General Disagrees.
Under date of March 13, the Pho
neer received the following letter
from Mr.. Smith: .~>
"In response to the request of your
paper for statement as to condition
of the law on this matter have to
say:
"First: The hours of opening and
closing the polls in village, at an
ordinary village election, are pre-
scribed by section 712 of the revised
laws, 1905, in the following man
er: # ~-'@@E
~ The council shall appoint d.
. two judges, one clerk, and
they shall open the polls
by proclamation and keep
them open from ten o'clock
a. m. until four o'clock p.
M. of election day.
section 712 as aforesaid has not
been amended, SO far as the nota-
tions on the margins of my statutes
show, neither does the citator, which
is published once in three months
and contains all amendments and de-
cisions affecting sections of the re-
vised laws, show that this section

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Automobile Driving

'To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read an editorial in The Age-Herald of October 10 relative to the unfortunate accident in which an automobile. driven by negro, Philip Osborne. killed a vis- itor to Birmingham a few days since.
 Usually l ;.m in accord with the senti- ments expressed in your very ably con ducted editorial department In this case, however. I differ with your conclusions As an owner and driver of automobiles, unhesitatngly say that knowledge of mechanics Is not essential to make any person competent automobile driver. It makes no difference whether the driver is black or white, man or woman. insofar as the liability of accident is concerned Some of the very best drivers are women who know absolutely nothing about me- chancs. Where an accident is charge able to the driver of the car it is due tc his lack of prudence and caution. White chauffeurs are just as reckless as the negro chauffeurs as a whole.
 In my opinion the non enforcement oi the statutes regulating automobile traf- fic is at the bottom, not only of this un- fortunate affair, but of others. Those charged with the enforcement of these statutes appear to be very remiss in their duty in this regard. Any one may see daily and constant violations, not only of the speed laws, but of every other clause and paragraph in the statutes governing automobile traffic. When those recklessly inclined see that others equal ly reckless are not punished for a viola ton of the law they in turn take chances themselves. feeling safe in escaping pun ishment.
 I cannot close this letter without ref crence to the utter disregard of street traffic by the majority of pedestrians This morning, while crossing Second ave. nue at Twenty-hrst street, driving my car, I saw two men and woman going from the west side of Twenty-frst street eastward. I blew my horn before I had crossed the street car tracks, but they walked slowly along, and finally l hac to stop my car within three feet of them while my Klaxon was doing its very bes to wake them up. At last they dit awaken and were frightened badly wher they saw my car so close to them. al though it was standing perfectly still. 4 careless driver would certainly have struck them under the circumstances, a. he would have taken chance on theil moving out of the way.
 The automobile driver in Birmingham has to contend with things of this kint almost every hour of the day that he 1. driving his car. Yours very truly,

Washington, October 15.--After hearing several witnesses today the senate cam paign contributions committee adjourned until Thursday when Frank A. Munsey, George B.

 Prof Henry Jones Ford of Princeton university. Cleveland H. Dodge and E. Howe, vice president of the Princeton bank, told the committee of the financ- ing of the Trenton True American" by George w. Perkins and MT. Dodge. The True American was active In support of Governor Wilson and the Wilson cam paign forces have circulated many copies of the paper.
 MT. Dodge gave details of his collec- ton of ss5s0O for the Wilson fund from "Princeton friends who included Cyrus H. Mccormick and Thomas D. Jones. He said that while these contributions were expected to call forth criticism, Governor Wilson, to whom the question was submitted agreed to accept them.
 Dodge said he feared the government s suit to dissolve the Harvester company might arouse adverse criticism and he asked MT. Mccormick to take the money back The question finally was left to Governor Wilson.
 "The governor said he was perfectly willing to receive the money, and was not afraid to take it,'' said Dodge.
 MT. Mccormick gave the money just as he would have given 1t to Princeton university" he added
 Senator Divers questions brought out that Thomas D. Jones, another con- tributor to the fundswas connected with the Harvester company. MT. Dodge told of loaning s25.000 to the Trenton N. J., True American early in the Governor Wilson term This had nothing to do with the presidential pre-convention campaign, he declared.
 E H. Howe of the Princeton bank told of loans to the publication, True American. Mir Howe testified he ne- gotiated loans to the organ and that the money was handed him by Miss Kihm, secretary to George w. Perkins. Loans to the publisher totaled $40,00p he said although that had nothing to do with the Americans support of Gov ernor Wilson.

Perkins and have been associated in many philan- thropic matters. and I deeply deplore | the attacks which have been made or r him and on Colonel Roosevelt The colonel and I played together when we were boys and I have great admira- tion for him. I took this newspaper matter to Perkins and he agreed to gc in with me. We supplied the money

MISSISSIPPI NEGRO
 CAUGHT IN FLORENCE
Man Wanted for Skipping Bond Curry Barnes Recovering From
 Bad Fall

Florence, October 15.-(Special)- )-Several days ago the chief of police received a dispatch from Greenville, Miss, asking that a negro named Ed Pernell be ar- rested for skipping his bond. The new of- fioer immediately became the busiest man in Florence and in a short while had spotted and arrested the man wanted. AS the negro was wiling to return without requiston papers, the officers were soon on their way to. Greenville. This is the first reward received by the new officer.
 Curry Barnes, the contractor of the new government building, returned yesterday, after being confined in the hospital on account of severe fall he received sev- eral weeks ago, from a ladder reaching to the second floor. His escape was con- sidered miraculous at the time and his recovery is most gratifying to his friends.
 The cotton yard is now the busiest place in Florence. From all over the county bales are being brought here and sold to the cotton men. Good prices are be- ing received and a prosperous year is now coming to close.
