CLAPP OPPOSES PICTURES 0F INQUIRY Movies May Show Morgan and Senator Telling of
 Campaign Fund

Washington. September 29-(Special,)- Moving pictures of J. P. Morgan, the "Colossus of Finance" and Colonel Roose- welt, telling the Clapp committee that they know about fiat frying" and cam . paign contributions, win be on view in all parts of the country if the objections of Senator Moses F. Clapp, chairman of the committee, can be overcome.
 Moxing picture men have made diplo- matic inquiries as to whether they will be :. admitted to the hearings to be held here Il next week. and they have received en- -'couragement from all directions as far as is known, with the exception of Senator Clapp.
 The senator. like a great many other statesmen on Capitol hill. likes to go to the movies and see all the latest things in the political line, but he doesn't like { to get into them himself Hence the ob- jeetion. The senator is also of the belief that it would lower the dignity of the inquiry to allow the picture operators to invade the committee room with their ma chimes.

 COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTER PUZZLING

Jackson, Miss, September 29.-t3pecial) ) Attorney General Collins Is receiving let ters every day from county election com missioners who seem to be mixed up on the county attorney matter because of inc suit recently instituted in Rankin county by Green X Green, attorneys of this city who would contest the constitu- tionality of the law calling for an election on the proposition to retain or abolish the office of county attorney.
 General Collins states that this proceed ing does not affect any county but Ran kin. and it Is hoped that the supreme court will decide the matter before the day of the election tho first week in November. The other counties of the state will go ahead and hold the cleo tion to determine whether or not the of- flee shall be abolished, and county elec- ton commissioners will be advised to that effect in a few days by communications from the office of the attorney general

 River Business Increasing
 The business of the steamboats on the Alabama river is increasing to a consider able extent each week or trip which the.
 boats makes between Mobile and Selma.
 Each of the boats now plying the Ala
 bama river are entering the port of Mo
 bile loaded to the guards. They come
 to Selma with almost as large loads and this. great volume of river business will
 continue for the next two or three months or during the movement of the cotton
 and cotton seed season. The Alabama
 river is also being appreciated more and more each month by the large business concerns of the city who buy large bills
 of goods from western houses. During
 the summer months the boats on the Ala
 bama brought weekly to Selma car loads
 of merchandise which had been shipped
 them from western marts. When the
 channel of the river is still further i'm
 proved and as the large shippers are
 educated to the advantage of river traf- fife the business of the river will increase still further and more boats will be seen

 EVERYBODY'S risked its life and found 1t in Mir. Lawsons ''Frenzied Finance.
 EVERYBODY'S is the natural vehicle for this new campaign. 8sst
 Why are we beginning this campaign in the midst of the most strenuous political campaign ever?
 Because you are all thinking about big questions, and it ought to be the right time to get your thoughts head ed toward the biggest question of all
 This question will not be discussed by the candidates, because they do not understand it and therefore not realize its tremendous importance.
 That lose money gambling in Wall Street, ev- erybody knows.
 That the banks loan purely for Wall Street gam bling, millions upon millions that would otherwise be used in the countrys ndustriesthis every good bus man knows.
 BUT THAT FEW INSIDERS IN WALL STREET USE STOCK EXCHANGE DEVICE FOR AUTO MATICALLY ABSORBING THE NATIONS AN NUAL SURPLUS, ONLY A FEW KNOW, AND ONLY ONE MAN IS WILLING TO TELL.
 Mr. Lawson is not an economist in the textbook sense; but he is practical economist, and he has spent his life in the stockexchange business ani knows every trick and device of it known or imagined.
 None of the presidential candidates could possibly know what he knows about Wall Street. Indeed, MT. Lawson himself says in this number of EVERY BODYS that it is to Amercans credit if he does not know about this Wall Street device. '.No man," he says can possibly know the big evil unless he has had hand in it's creation it's working.'

 That's what's the matter with us, isn't it.
 MT. Lawson will show you how to stop it.
 That's what we want, isn't it?
 No presidential candidate do that until Mr. Law son, or one of 8 very few others, shows him how. But shown how, anybody can stop it.
 It will be stopped You will insist that it be stopped

ODD MURDER VERDICT STANDS
Why Mlssourian Is Ordered to Serve
Life In Prison as Wife
Slayer.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Unusual cir.
cumstances surrounded the case Of A.
J. Bass of Greene county, Missouri,
farmer, who was convicted on the
charge of numbering his wife and sen.
fenced to life imprisonment, which
verdict was affirmed by the supreme
court here. After Bass house burned
in January, 1911, the body of his wife
was found in the ruins A coroner's
Jury decided that the woman met
death in the fire. Later her body
was eXhumed and an autopsy revealed
that she had been shot through the
heart and several shot were extracted
from her body. Bass was then ar.
rested.
At the trial the defense contended
that Mrs, Bass had been struck by
shot from shotgun shells In the house,
which were exploded by the fire.
Neighbors who were attracted by the
fire testified that they heard numer.
Gus explosions In the building while
it was burning. Much expert testi-
mony was introduced to show that
loose shells when heated slowly will
explode.
Judge Ferris, who prepared the
opinion of the supreme court, found
that the case was tried properly in
the lower court, that the Jury was
the best Judge of all the circum.
stances and that the verdict must
stand.
