For Women Who Care

Ofcourse you use an antiseptic in your
family and in the care of your own per-
son, and you want the best.
Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
concentrated antisepsic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

the interstate commerce commission,
which gave out its opinion this week.
Proposed advances in all rail and rail and
water rates on that product in carloads
from Chattanooga to Boston and New

Advances contained in the tariff were
objected to by the Chattanooga Manufac-
turers' association, while they were de-
Tended by the Nashville, Chattanooga and

developed at the hearing, however, that

Montgomery, May S.-tSpecial)--
Shriners from Damascus temple at
Rochester, N. Y, were guests of Mont

ShrIners were on their way to the an

The Shriners from Rochester arrived

They were met by 25 or 80 promin en- I
Shriners of Montgomery and were es-
corted In automobiles over the city.
The trip included a brief tour of the
county roads around Montgomery, a
visit to the Masonic home, the Country
club and the capitol
The visitors were guests of the Mont :

and had entered thereafter upon duty
as an appointee of Spencer in the Gus
tom house at Mobile. He was sum-
moned by Spencer or his allies to Mont
gomery for the purpose of being count
ed in the court room senate. Baker had
no claims a seat He was seated by
|Spencer's command and on the promise
of federal appointment which he re-
ceived promptly. Martin, democrat
held the certificate of election from the
Butler-Conecuh district and occupied the
seat in the capitol legislature. Miller
threatened to contest the seat but he
had not instituted a contest and none
was entertained in his name by the
court room senate.
Morgan proved as clearly as language
and evidence could be employed to eX-
press a fact that the court room senate
never had quorum in the sense that
qualified the body to participate in
the election of senator
But the question of a qualified leg
islature aside, he proved by the testf-
mony of Spencers own appointees that
the court room legislature was a means
only adopted by the supporters of Spen-
Ger to secure his reelection, otherwise
impracticable, and that the funds TO
pay the per diem of poor members were
taken by Spencers orders from the
FEDERAL internal revenue offices in
Montgomery and Selma and from the
postoffice at Mobile
A single instance illustrates the SEN
ators method. Jones, a negro school
teacher of Lowndes county, was elected
senator as supporter of Spencer He
arrived at Montgomery. went direct to
the saloon of the negro Cashin on North
Perry street 10 borrow money from
Cashin, averring his extreme impecunos-
ity. He knew the senator had rooms at
the Madison house near by and that cash
payments flowed out thence in the sem
ator's interest with the legislators. SEN
ator Jones took pains to let Senator Spen-
Ger hear of him as one hesitating be-
tween a seat In the court room legislature
and one in the capitol Legislature. He
received an invitation to Senator Spen.
GERS quarters in the Madison house. In
brief time he returned to Cashins saloon
with three 500 bills between his fingers,
boasting of his achievement upstairs.

Washington May S.-(Special)-It has
leaked out that the opponents to the I'm.
derwood tariff bill In the Senate have set
tied upon plan of campaign against that
measure which. 1t is claimed. has been
used before in the Senate with great sue
cess.
The plan is to delay in every way possi-
BILE the progress of the bill in the Sen
ate. and keep up a prolonged discussion
using every device of parliamentary pro-
cedure to gain time. They will begin this
by holding hearings on the bill by tbs
finance committee and string them out for
as many days or weeks as they can pos
sibly find and excuse for doing So Then
when the bill finally reaches the floor OF
the Senate they will debate 1t in relays
and stave off the final vote as long as they
can do so.
BY adopting these methods they hope
to wear OUT the administration forces,
and get them to point that after a while
they will in sheer desperation yield some
of the points for which the opponents are
contending, such as in the wool and sugar
schedules. In the mean time they will en-
courage tne opponents OF the Dill all over
the country to keep up bombardment on
senators through petitions and resolutions
Of commercial bodies, mass meetings and
so on, hoping in this way that they will
convince at least few of them that pub
lie sentiment does not approve of some
of the schedules.
This method, 1t is claimed has been very
effective in the past. Friends of legsa-
tion proposed rarely ever memorialize
Congress, or send In petitions, or write

one of Wilson's raiders, who stopped In
Montgomery and was made clerk of the
court by the military. Spencer heard of
the scheme from afar and fastened upon
the ground. He arrived the day after the
body assembled and was organized He
found opposition to his candidacy. Par
sons and Alex White were supposed to
be anxious to succeed him Both were
present as members of the lower house.
Spencer put out word that the capitol
legislature was willing to compromise
willing to re-elect him senator If he would
break up the court room body. He could
break up the court room body by carry
ing with him to the capitol one or two
members At the critical moment he let
out this view of the resources he pos
sessed and thus destroyed all prospects
that Parsons or White may have pos
sessed to enter rivalry with him. The
Senate committee decided it had nothing
to do with the character of a legislature
in Alabama and would accept the certifi-
cate of election offered by Spencer.
In summing up his case before the fed
eral Senate committee General Morgan
spoke of the unhappy influence the con-
duct of Spencer in Alabama must exert

STRIKE IN STEEL
TRUST PLANT BLOODY

deputies fired number of volley!
from their revoIvers, but were forced
back to the mill. The deputies from
the mill in about fifteen minutes ap
peared armed with guns loaded with
buckshot.
The battle promptly was renewed
Alomost every window facing Hawking
avenue for distance of three squares
was broken and several persons in
the house were injured. The crash
of the guns, breaking glass and
screams of men and women infuri-
ated the strikers. They charged the
deputies desperately and the latter
again retreated behind the mill walls
taking with them the wounded dep
uty sheriffs and the chief of police,
Barnett.
The strike in the plant of the
American Steel & Wire company
started less than week ago. The
strikers are mainly foreigners, en-
ployed as laborers.
They demand 80 cents an hour in
stead of 19 cents.
The first outbreak occurred last
Saturday when strikers and police
men of Rankin clashed. Nine per-
sons were injured, majority of them
officers. Many shots were fired with
out effect
Early Monday morning the deputy
sheriffs dispersed the strikers, ex
tinguished the fires and Sheriff Bruff
issued an order closing all saloons.
Burgess ]. Knox Milligan of Ran
kin, issued a proclamation today de-
claring the borough in state of riot,
establishing a deadline of 300 yards
about the plant, warning all children
from the streets and continuing the
order to keep all saloons closed.
1t developed last night that the dep
uties were not employed by the
county, but had been appointed by
the Rankin authorities. According
to Chief of Police Barnett, the dep
uties had no right outside the MILL

of the situation tonight. In a state
