she was physically able to discharge her
duties there as librarian.

memory of another noble Alabama

memorial and suggest that 1t lie un-
yelled during the next commencement ex-
ercises at the university. with Mr. Bank

OBLIGATIONS IN
WHISKY FRAUD CASE
Commissioners Refuse to
Submit to Cross
Examination

Washington, January 1s-Further COM
plications are threatened in the fight be-
tween United States District Judge Boyd
of Greensboro, y. c., and Royal Il. Cabel,
commissioner Of internal revenue, in an
alleged whisky fraud case in North Caro-
lima, by the commissioners refusal today
to submit to direct or cross-examina-
ton before United States Commissioner
Hit of this city, who was ordered by
Judge Boyd to take Mr.. Cabells depo-
sition.
The commissioners attitude was based
upon the written directions of Secre-
tary MacVeagh, which he offered the
court, without questions as to its au
thority, a certified copy of the treas
ury departments record in the case and
declined to answer questions in connec-
tion with it. The case Is directed against
d. c. Foster, a distiller, and N. Glenn
Williams, said TO have been the pur-
chaser of the whisky In question. lit is
also being investigated by the House
committee on expenditures in the treas
ury department.
The pending issue in court involves an
order of Commissioner Cabell that the
whisky, now at Williams, N. G., be trans
ferred to a general bonded warehouse at
Louisville, Ky. Judge Boyd enjoined the
removal and appointed a master to take
testimony.
BY the courts order Commissioner Hit
was authorized to take the dispositions
of Mr. Cabell and other officials of the
internal revenue bureau. Fletcher Mat
tox, solicitor of internal revenue; P s.
Talbert chief of the law division, and
w. Hubbard, Jr., chief of the assessment
division, summoned before Commissioner
HIT testified that they had advised the
commissioner of internal revenue to issue
the order removing the whisky to a gem
eral bonded warehouse. When Mr. Cabell
was placed on the stand he presented a.
digest of the treasury departments record
and offered as soon as the full record
was obtainable from the House commit
tee. which now holds 1t, to supply the
court with a certified copy. Attorneys
for the owners of the whisky wanted to
know why he issued the order of re-
moval He declined to reply, pointing to
the written instructions of Secretary
MacYeagh. The commissioner contended
that while his reasons do not appear in
the record, he was controlled in issuing
the order by his legal power as COM
missioner of internal revenue, and Is not
called upon to divulge his reasons to
the court. The attorneys protested and
are understood to have threatened to
ask Judge Boyd for an order compelling
him to give the answers.
Mr.. Cabel also refused to answer ques-
tions propounded by United States At
torney Holton of Greensboro, who at
tended the hearing.

SPEAKS IN CHICAGO

Chicago. January 1S.-Wi'am F. Nc
Combs, chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, tonight addressed the
annual banquet of the Southern club of
Chicago. He had a number of consulta-
tions during the day with Illinois demo-
cratic chiefs over the deadlock in the
organization of the state legislature and
later said that he had no doubt but that
the Surface differences at Springfield
soon would be removed and the demo-
cratic members of the legislature would
unite their efforts to elect two United

At the Southern club banquet Mr.. Nc
Combs said that the last national cam
paign showed that southerner could
be elected President of the United States.
1T has also shown he said, that the
south Is a patriotic factor in the national
politics. Sectional lines have been broken
and abolished, we hope forever. The
south is equal to bearing its part when
the appeal is on issues of the present day
and in its determined optimism the south

by an artistic frame work Of ever

ioyed a most auspicious commence

The class of 1913, consisting of 13
graduates, and holding its exercises
on Friday the thirteenth, is worthy
of the splendid institution i'll which
it has completed the course Of study;
and a credit to the corps of instruct

ers at rs Cents per Yard.

Contract for the operation Of the
county rock crusher near Willamina
for the season was awarded by the
county court on Saturday to Sam

cubic yard, and the hauling contract
for the same quarry was awarded to
A. G. Tharp whose bid ranged IN
price from two cents per cubic yard
for the first quarter mile to 50 cents
for three miles.
Bids for crushing rock at the Lee
quarry were also opened but were
not awarded pending the closing OF
a deal with Skinner & Larson Of In
dependence for gravel. Later a con
tract was closed with the lndepend-
ence firm for gravel at % cents per
yard f. o. b. ears at that place. Ac-
cording to the figures for freight
charges previously supplied the court,
this will make the gravel cost 1914
cents per yard delivered at any sta
ton on the Salem, Falls City q
Western west of Dallas, while the
charge here is 1872 cents per yard.
AT Monmouth gravel will be furnish
ed for road purposes. for a fraction
over 42 cents per yard. These prices
are regarded as the most favorable
the county has ever received and are
much cheaper than the rock crushers
can be operated, judged by the bids
received on Saturday.
