THE ALABAMA FEDERATION AND ALABAMA'S PLACE IN THE
 LITERARY WORLD OF CLUBS

prize paper, Mrs. 0lin Kirkland. has fur nshed enough beauty of thought and expression to make an evening of in- terest at the convention of clubs in De- catur next November.
 Three years since a similar scheme for promotion of literary talent was recom- mended to the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and at present a higher tribunal, composed of the best of the educational world passes judgment, prior to each biennial session of the general body, upon selected papers from all parts of the federated world.
 When one considers what a range of thought and study Is comprised In the works submitted by competitors in Eu- rope, Asia, North and South America. some slight conception of the honor be- slowed upon the petite member of the Alabama federation, in this recent con- test is realized
 It is a further remarkable fact in the way of accredited achievement for the Alabama constituency that the author of the scheme for promotion of interstate contests in the General, Federation of Clubs Is Mrs. l.. M Bashinsky of the Nineteenth Century club of Troy, Ala | In this membership of tine Nineteenth Century club of Troy, the Alabama fed eration is peculiarly fortunate, since 't
  ranks of federated service. Having been many times honored it is at present re- ceiving more and more homage as the work of the present executive, Mrs. Charles Henderson, progresses.
 Since taking up the lines as president of the State federation last November Mrs Henderson has covered quite a great deal of club territory, her presence serv- ing everywhere as inspiratonal and help full During her recent stay in Calnor-- mia, where she went in the interest of Alabama clubs, many valuable and in- teresting letters were given to the press in order that the women of her state might share with her the benefits de- rived. Aside from a record of capable and faithful service, the present eXecu- tive of Alabama clubs will ever be re- membered as one of the most beloved of federation leaders.
 Viva the banner clubs of 19ll-l2; the Culture club of Birmingham, the Twen- tieth Century of Montgomery and the Nineteenth Century club of Troy!

It will be of interest to the many club women in the state to learn that through one of their members great honor has been bestowed upon the federation, and for those who enjoyed the privilege of listening to the prize paper, "The Problem of Sin as Shown by Hawthorne in His Novels" at the convention in Mobile last winter news of higher reward of this work will be received with double in- terest.
 This subject, which was so ably han dled by Mrs c. C. Adams of the Culture club of Birmingham, Is one of great in- terest. a problem as old as the human race, but, granting the exceptional merit in both subject and treatment to attain the highest award when in competition with some of the worlds best scholars, is matter for distinct congratulation. and the Alabama federation through it's star member in the Birmingham dele gaton, goes to the foreranlIs in the lit erary life of the world of clubs.
 For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the objects and aims of the federated clubs, some notice of this feature of lit erary interest will here serve it's pur- pose.
 For many years the women of the Ala bama fedora tion have fostered literary achievement through their bureau of in- formation, formerly reciprocity depart ment by entering the best paper from each club in annual competition for first place. These best efforts are placed in the hands of most competent judges usually the best scholars of the commun- ity in which the chairman in charge of the bureau resides, the result being an nounced at the succeeding convention. Further recognition is given to the sue cessful candidate when on literary even ing of the annual gathering of state clubs she is accorded place on the programme and the best club paper of the preceding year is read.
 1t will be of interest to recall just here that the prize paper for the present ear was submitted by the Twentieth Century club of Montgomery. Under cap tion of "A Comparative Study of Brown ing and Tennyson,' the author of the

Sullivan Will Confess

New York, August 1O.-"Jack' Sul- 1ivan, who is under arrest in connection with the murder of Herman Rosenthal promises that he will tell Monday all he knew about the alleged connection of Police Lieutenant Becker with the murder. Sullivan made this agreement with Assistant District Attorney Smith He was unwilling to tell his full story until he had seen MT. Whitman, who Is out of the city over Sunday, Sullivan said to Smith, but he said he had seen Becker in consultation with Jack Rose and "Bridgie'' Webber a few hours after the murder.
 This corroborates stories of other witnesses indicating close relations between Becker and the men lnNoiVeu in the murder plot
 sullivan denied however, knowing E previously about the plans to kill Ro- senthal and also denied that he had driven away in the gray automobile in which the murderers escaped
 He was on the scene shortly after the killing and went from the Hotel Me- troT ole to "Bridgie' Webber's gambling house on Forty-second street. He saw sidewalk, he said. Later they were joined by "Bridgie" and the three had u low-toned conversation in which he was not permitted to join.

In one bank, Becker was credited with s13,00o. 1t also was learned by the investigators that two police in- spectcrs had made recent -teposits total ing S75OO0. Evidence of graft against one of these inspectors is in the hands of the district attorney. who will seek his in- dictment when the graft feature of the case is taken up.
 Information to the effect that Becker turned over to those higher up" more of his alleged graft contributions than he kept himself, was obtained by As- sistant District Attorney Smith. Beck CTS receipts, according to this evidence, amounted to about $15,000 month, but of this s1o.o0O went to the so-called system" Jack" Rose, 1t was learned today. has received absolute immunity It became known that when Rose conferred between the grand jury a stimulation granting him his freedom as soon as he has completed his testi- mony at the trial was signed by the district attorney and Judge Mnlqueen with the approval of the grand jury
 Rose now is in a penitent mood &C., cording to his lawyer and declares to reform. He plans as soon as he Is re- leased to leave the country with his i wife and brother and two children.
