The audience was convulsed. 1t was
shocked and surprised and filled COM

and the last vestige of doubt that I'm

The courthouse was filled 10 minutes
prior to the appearance of Mr. Under

crowd surging behind the congressman

Judge R. A. D. Dunlap presented Mr.
Underwood The good humor of the
crowd in standing a score deep by this
time about the entrance was obvious as
Eer
cess of the democratic party. There was
prolonged cheering.
After paying respects to the party.
Judge Dunlap made a significant remark
to the effect that the trusts have generally
exercised control of the Senate. He gave
this as one reason why Mr.. Underwood
should be sent to the upper house, and
was rewarded by loud cheers He re-
ferred to Mr. Underwood in the same
breath that he referred to Webster, Clay
and Calhoun. Judge Dunlap threw slle
house into uproarous applause by declar-
ing that the greatest reactionary is he

authorization was presented by DR..

On Female Suffrage

One of the clauses in Hobson's speech
which Mr.. Underwood corrected was
that which put Mr.. Underwood in the
same boat with Mr.. Hobson in regard
to female suffrage. The speaker read
the national equal suffrage bill-con-
tanning provisions for the enfranchise-
ment of negroes-and then he declared
that he, himself, had informed Miss
Jane Adams, the suffrage leader, that
he could not support an amendment
to the constitution providing for ma
tional female suffrage. He declared
that the federal government had no
right to thrust female suffrage on Ala
bama If Alabama was not willing.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-30

The climax of the masterful address
was reached in the conclusion. Mr.. I'm
derwood told the story of the belated
congratulation extended by DR.. Barker
of Ohio for his support of the Webb
anti-shipping bill and now when DR.
Barker had been informed by DIR. Law
renee of Birmingham in regard to the
peculiar fight which was being waged
against Underwood, DR.. Barker en-
deavored to prevent the delivery of the
| compliments.
The audience was thrilled by the
shock which it received. The speaker
then read a bill introduced in Con-
! gress by Mr.. Hobson providing for the
construction of a dam across the Sipsey
river under the same provisions as the
Coosa river dam BILL for the support
of which Mr.. Hobson had taken him
severely to task.
| AT this disclosure, the audience ac-
knowledged a still deeper surprise, and
| it was significant that the cheers which
greeted the presentation of this new
phase of the situation Were louder and
more expressive of every individual
| present than any other which rung out
during the entire address.

WEBS FORMER coAcHMAN
Brides Family Conquered After
Three Years of Opposition.

Rockaway, N. j., Jan. 22.-Against
long-standing opposition of all mem
bers of her family Miss Helen Sickle
daughter of the late Byron r. Stick,
was married at noon today to a for
mer coachman for the family, and be-
slowed on him her share of her
fathers estate. The brides fortune
is estimated at 100000, which she in
herited without any restrictions,
though her father had fought until
his death against her determination
TO marry the ex-coachman.
The bridegroom is John Spear, a
naturalized Italian, whose name was
John Pendino. He changed his name
in Boston, where he lived after the
discovery of the infatuation of Miss
Sickle respltod in his dismissal.
Pendino became a chauffer there.
He was hired as a coachman a lit
tie more than three years ago, and
the attachment developed soon after

away, but was unable to do So The
father cut the matter short by dis
pensing with Pandino's services.
Mrs. MADDEN finally gave up the
struggle and she and her husband
were witnesses to the ceremony,
which took place at THE Knoll" the

clergyman was the Rev. George F.

ton acts. These laws substitute
what is practically an accident insur-
ance for every man for the old
gamble of suit and recovery. They
result in quick pay, freedom from
uncertainty, elimination of lawyers
fees, and, for the employer, safety
from the outrageous awards of over
sympathetic juries. A carefully de-
vised schedule tells what the compen
sation shall be for every kind of in,
jury, and provides for payment in
the form of an allowance instead of
the old lump sum which was so east
ly squandered or lost. This principle
may result in greater cost to the EN-
ployer, But it induces a better spirit
on the part Of the employed and
causes less risk in the course of bust
ness. furthermore, by eliminating
the mlddleman, ii will in the end
effect saving to all concerned.

large, lofty bedchambers and corridors
of the hotels make it just possible to

the necessity Of taking out a license

SPOKE At The COLLEGE

Spoke at Chapel at Fargo Col.
Iege This Morning,

The students of Fargo college listen
ed to a most interesting speaker this
morning in the person Of Henry z.
White Of Chicago, the noted lecturer
Of the Henry George bureau,
After a fitting Introduction by r. b.
Blakemore, MIR. White proceeded in his
most interesting style to describe the
personality of Henry George, of whom
he had the honor of being a personal
friend.
The main part of his talk was de-
voted to a discussion of the funda-
mental principles underlying the sin
gle tax theory and incidentally that of
land tenure proposed by Henry
George. ... .,...
In a simple. clear and forceful way
the speaker showed what a waste to
society resulted from the holding of
vacant land, made possible by a low
tax IN and and a higher tax on ia
dustry. BY taxing industry products
are sold at a higher rate: the tax is
shifted, A. low tax on land makes
holding of vacant land easier; a high
tax on land d~iscourages the holding of
such land, and moves. n TO in
tensive Improvement to meet the high
Ell. tax. The point was made clear that
the taxing Of instruments df industry
tend t eliminate the use of them.
while in the taxing OF land the reverse
is true; the higher tax brings vacant
land into use. ...-,

ORDER WITH THE MANAGER.

The campaign to boost the Fargo

and the commercial club committee,
which is composed Of J. z. Hardy, the
secretary, James F.. Holmes and r.
Leland Watkins, was busily engaged in
~escorting business men to the plant on
Second avenue north this morning.
The merchants were given every OPP
p~Ortunity Of going through the estab-
nshment and all vas explained to them
by Mgr. Mike FeckIer. Each of the
merchants who were there today gave
a substantial order 10 the plant. and
it is hoped that all others win do the
same.
One of the business men in speak
ing of the plant said that the goods
that were manufactured were really
superior to those Of the same class
that are made in the east and that the
prices did not AIRY to any extent. If
anything the price was favorable to
the Fargo plant. They were very much
pleased with the general appearance of
the plant and eac and every man who
called wished it great success. It is
hoped that the citizens in general will
call at the factory this week, where
they win be made welcome. The Far
go Knitting Mills Co. can be made a
