 Office Inyestigated-Claimed
 Restaurants Dens of Vice
FINDS 241 TRUE BILLS

Huntsville November 9.-6special)- The final report of the Madison county grand jury, which was made late Fri day after the jury had been at work four weeks and five days, was one of the most interesting documents that a grand jury. has ever submitted to a Madison county court. The grand jury examined 5SS witnesses in 745 cases, and found 241 true bills.
 The report asserts that violation of the liquor laws Is rampant throughout the county. especially in the city and suburbs. Witnesses who were brought before the grand jury to testify in liquor cases had been so intimidated or posted on what t9 say that their evi- denee was worth nothing. The grand jury wanted to make an investigation of the dispensary, but the buyer, the fountain head of Information, could not be found, according to the report The report recommends that w S. Allen, the buyer in question, be discharged and his office fully investigated.
 Alleged frauds committed in the April county primary and the recent city commissioners election were investi- gated. The grand jury is convinced that outrageous frauds were committed and that several of the candidates liter ally bought the offices, The report says that witnesses who were examined in this connection got Knowledge of what was wanted with them and framed their answers accordingly Would be reformers who called loudly and Justify for special grand Jury last spring to investigate election frauds were given an opportunity to tell what they knew and their evidence was worthless. The report continues: We had more schol- arly liars in this investigation than sion on other matters"
 The grand jury claims that at least two restaurants in Huntsville are oper- ated as dens of vice, but no evidence could be obtained against them sui hcient to warrant indictments. It Is recommended that the city commission CTS revoke their licenses. In one of these restaurants, 1t is asserted that murder was recently committed, but all of the witnesses have been so in- timidated that no evidence could be found to fix guilt for the crime The county solicitor is requested to instI- tute proceedings of impeachment against the county commissioners for failure to follow the recommendations ot preceding grand juries with refer cnce to the county courthouse.
 The report has create u sensation here, and despite the tenor of the pa per, it is generally believed that many indictments have been returned as q result of the inquiry Into the alleged election frauds.

With the announcement of the coming of Owen Lovejoy to this city Wednesday to talk "Child Labor" it may be interest- ing to look at some of the problems confronting us in this field of work.

That night, after supper. Farmer
Browns boy took his gun and whistled
for Bowser the Hound.
Where are you going?" asked Farmer
Brown, the twinkle still in his eyes.
ITO look for that coon We saw this
morning." replied Farmer Browns boy.
So. with Bowser the Hound running
ahead and shifting the ground, he went
down to the cornfield where they had
seen Bobby Coon that morning. But
there was no longer any scent left in
Bobby's tracks and sniff and sniff as he
would Bowser the Hound could not fol-
low them. Farmer Browns boy sat on
the fence in the moonlight and watched
him. Bowser worked as hard as ever he
could, but it was of no use. Finally
Farmer Browns boy hoped down from
the fence and patted Bowser on the head.
Never mind. old fellow" said he. Il

that he hasn't come out again yet. but
