Junk Gives No Clew

| When the detectives had taken
note of all these things and exer-
cised their fancies in a vain effort
| to connect the hat and the card and
| bottle and the rest of the things,
| they feel that they were playing the
roles Of befuddRd Or Watsons"
without any Sherlock Holmes" to
help them out.
Questions proved just as fruitless.
There was Michael Coniee, who
lived only a stones throw from the
scene. Had he seen or heard any
thing? Yes, he remembered he had
heard strange noises Monday
night. He did not know Just what
time it was and he did not know
anything about the noises excepting
that they were strange" He could
not think OF anything that they re-
sembled, And the other neighbors
had neither heard nor seen any
thing.
Further questioning of Louis
Bran brought forth from him at
last the statement that one of the
men who hired him looked like
Greek hat each of the men wore
mustache, and that each of the mus
taches Cooked false"

The detectives found these ar

One old brown soft hat with a

One small bottle that may have
contained chlorororm CIR cologne.
One playing ca'd detective

One bit Of brown paper with TWEEN

Several bricks, a scrap Of news
paper, an empty sardine can a bit
of string, a twisted piece of wire
and the telephone pole against
which Louis Bran says he found
the trunk.

The most tantalizingly subtle
trick played upon rhe police by the
conspirators whether they were
conspiring for farce or for tragedy
lay in their selection of the alley
as the place from which the trunk
should be taken. Since the trunk
was taken from an alley it was the
duty of the detectives to find out
what other articles the alley con-
tanned because anything, from a
scrap Of paper to a discarded tomato
can, might be a clew And alleys
usually contain rare assortment of
things.

That all of the saloons in Nash

mandate Of Judge Neil, have re-
sumed busiBsss on as large scale
as before, vas evidenced Satnr-
day afternoon when q Tennes-
sean aud American reporter

shops on an investigating tour.
In most Of the places visited
there was no stealth about the
proceedings at all. In some an
open sesame was required, but
in all Of them there was plenty
OF the stuff on tap.
According to q well-known
politician the saloons have beer

careful to sell only to those witt
the proper combination. Re
Gently, however, they have lift

the fact that whisky will be sold

prominent of the saloonists Sat
urday. THE majority of the
people here want it, and they
are going to have it, law or no

The few saloon men who have
obeyed the orders of Judge Neil
and have really stopped selling
liquor are considerably sore over
the state of affairs, and the ac-
tion Of their competitors. 1t
seems pretty hard after | have
closed up my shop, to find that
all the other saloons practically
are selling in the same old way,

places now doing business can

The liquor men who. are sell.
ing are flying in the teeth not
only Of the state government but
the United States government,

therefore liable to arrest anC

Statement By
The Governor
Wants independents to
Continue Alignm e II t
with Republicans.

Win Republicans.
Governor Hooper has Issued
the following statement to the
independent Democrats of Ten
nessee:
The independent democrats
OF Tennessee are approaching
the time when it will be their
duty as citizens to decide what
course shall be pursued by them
in their nomination and elec,
tion of q legislature. The i'm
mediate consideration Of this
question is by no means prema-
ture. The formative, prelimi-
nary work that will be done
within the next few weeks, in
connection with the nomination
and endorsement of candidates,
will be a more influential factor
in deciding the complexion of
the next legislature than the
final vote at the polls clever
months from now.
1T is needless to say that |
feel no sense Of embarrassment
in discussing this question with
independant democrats. Having
twice been their candidate in
state campaigns, standing upon
their platform and advocating
their principles, and having
fought shoulder to shoulder with
them through two tempestuous
legislatures, they know that we
survey these state questions
from a common viewpoint.
Within a little while the ques-
tion will be presented to inde-
pendent democrats whether they
shall continue in 1914 the same
course SO honorably and success
fully pursued by them for the
last five years or whether they
shall abandon this course, dis
card their organization and sub
merge their identity.
FUSION MOVEMENT.
THE fusion movement has
contributed one Of the most not
able chapters to the history of
American politics. 1t has no
parallel in uniqueness of charac-
ter, persistence of purpose and
wealth of achievement. 1t has
wrought more deeply than does
the temporary wave Of reform
which occasionally agitates the
surface of political stagnation
Its results have been more per.
manent than those which Gus.
tomarily follow the quick thun.
der storms Of popular indigna.
tion. 1t has had in it the steady
life of the sun and the constant
pull of the force Of gravity.
Born Of an honest purpose tc
better governmental conditions
inTennessee,it it has refused to fol-
low the devious meanderings Of
individual ambition, and has de
clined to BE- swerved by consid
erations of national politics or tt
be controlled by the promised
reward or the threatened de
privation Of federal patronage.
when men have proclaimed
that there can be no successful
government without responsible
party organization, the fnsior
movement has answered will
dual organizations, absolutely
separate and yet perfectly har
monious and effective.
when leaders have conceiv

ahead like q victorious army.

state departments vastly inn
proved.
HE RECAPITULATES.
"What,has been accomplished
by the combination OF indepen-
dent democrats aud republicans7
Let me tersely recapitalate, lest
we forget.
u. The enactment Of a state
wide law prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale Of Intoxicating
beverages.
2. The removal of the gov
ernment of the state from under
the corrupt and tyrannical con-
troll Of the liquor interest and
their allied vices.
3. The enactment and ad-
ministration of an election law
which has made it possible for .
Tennessee citizen to have HE
vote counted as cast. Without
this law our elections would be
a traversity on popular govern
ment and the clean citizenship
of Tennessee would be at the
mercy Of political crooks.
a. Against the desperate on
slaughts Of the liquor interests,
we have SO far held this elec-
tion law upon the statute books
in spite of treachery from within
and corruption from without.
"5. From our movement has
proceeded the earnest and un.
ceasing agitation in favor of the
enforcement of the laws, which
has resulted in arousing criminal
judges from their lethargy aud
has placed on the statute books
a part of law enforcement legis-
lation for which we have fought.
g. This movement discon-
tinued the disgraceful abuse Of
executive clemency and th Q
odium ofpardon brokerage.
II. It elected ten appellate
judges for term of eight years,
in order that our courts of last
resort might be untra ammeled by
private and political interests.
"8. 1t has bmltup the public
school system, greatly increased
the appropriation for education,
promoted the cause Of consoli-
dated schools, established COM
pulsory education, reformed the
method Of examining teachers
and kept the educational work
out of politics.
80. 1t has revolutionized the
work of the agricultural depart
ment and made it serve the
farmers rather than the politi-
clans. 1t hasinitiated the work
of the immigration bureau,
which, with limited means avail
able, has been doing effective
work for immigration.
80. The prison Of Tennessee
has been humanized and modern
lied, and the parole system aud
lindeterminate sentence law have
been adopted. More progress
has been made in this line in
less than three years than in the
one hundred years preceding.
II. The long-talked-of re-
formatory for boys has been
built and is in operation. ~
''12. The health department.
has been rejnyenated and the,
important vital statistics law at
last enacted. The department.
of pure foods and drugs has been
greatly increased in scope and
efficiency.
