CONGRESS PLANS ID ADJOURN JULY 10
Leaders to Hurry Legisla' ton to Get Much
 Needed Rest

Washington. May s.-Plans for an early adiournment of Congress took more defi- nite shape today when the Senate ad- vanced it's meeting hour from noon to II o'clock and House leaders issued the formal call for a democratic caucus Tues day night A Legislative programme will be laid out at the caucus. which will in clude adjournment as leading feature, Leaders now believe the hope of adjourn ment July 10 may be realized. The House caucus Tuesday will consider d resolu- tion announcing it to be the sense of the party that the antitrust. interstate ton bills the rural credits measure and the appropriation bills should be passed and the House then adjourn. The Senate changed it's meeting hour today to hasten passage of the agricultural appropriation bill This bill has dragged along for more than a week and several senators are anxious that it be disposed of before other appropriation bil.s are reported.
 There was one cloud on the adjournment horizon today when talk was renewed of an attempt to reach a vote at the pres ent session on the proposed constitutions al amendment for nations wide prohibit tion. There is little likelihood that the amendment will be taken up in the Tues day caucus. It's passage requires two thirds vote and leaders expect the fight to be close.
 No matter what the House does at this session with the prohibition resolution, the Senate has its hands so full of other subjects that it is not believed it will be taken up there for the present. Senators are taking the attitude that if the House passes the antitrust legisla- ton and the Senate becomes so tangled up with it that there is little prospect of an agreement for months, adjourn ment should be taken without antitrust action by the Senate. Many senators feel that passage by the House would be assurance to the country that the party is carrying out it's platform pledges.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Carpenter Shot By Watchman Sexton

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 These headlines appeared in The Age Herald this morning. The impression conveyed by the statement was so erroneous that I feel compelled to cor rect same. There. is no contractor on the job and I am the architect and su- perintendent, and l was not on the job from 1 100 o'clock until zoo o'clock last night Payne never asked me for any lumber at any time, but yesterday aft CT I left the job he made himself so conspicuous about the premises that he aroused the suspicion of the men on the job.
 Last evening after everybody had left the job except the watchman, and Payne not knowing that the watchman was there even, he reappeared to load him self with lumber of different dimen- sions, had it on his shoulder and started away with same. The watchman called to him and he didn't heed the warn ing, the watchman fired on him with a shotgun loaded with bird shot
 This is not the first trouble that we have had on this job by unknown par ties; this was the cause of the watch ronn being placed on said job These ;..o Ine facts in the case, with others '''at will be brought out at the proper time. A.F. HURLEY.

 of May just as they did for tine election of April 6. They allowed no scruples to interfere with their vote getting them: they are no more scrup-
 ulous now.
 'We want no such support and no such votes, and I warn the people ev- anywhere to he on guard next Monday.
 The contest is between the sober mind-
 ed citizens and a combination of evil forces that have rarely been seen in any campaign The men who were guilty of that rate surrender will do
 anything else. no matter what. and 1T every species of ballot box manpula- tion and bribery and wrongdoing
 known to the most practiced election corruptionist can avail. the peoples
 cause will go down next Monday. It is up to the people to see that the un- limited money supply now being poured into Alabama shall not be sufficient to purchase victory for the allied in- terests
 Because Mr. Pratt held out his
 hand and advised Captain Kolb to hold
 out his hand. is a warning to Us all
 that somebody is abroad in the land
 with something to put in that hand. We are fighting to regain control
 of our government We are not fight
 ing the Louisville and Nashville rail
 road or any other individual or cor
 poration or interest. Our fight is to
 force the selfish interests out of our
 government and so force them to go
 back and attend to their legitimate
 business.
 Four years of Governor O'Neal have
 been bad enough. and he was controlled mainly by the whisky interest np to the rate surrender. MT. Henderson would begin as he would continue, un- der the dual control of the railroad and whisky allies who are furnishing the money to corrupt the democratic elee- torate of Alabama if money can do IL. "One of the reasons privately cir culated among the thick and thin friends of the O'Nea1 administration kwhy l should be defeated on Monday next is--if l am elected there will be an investigation of the convict scandai and other rotten conditions connected with the present administration, and on this account Governor O'Nea1 Is writing 1 o 900 letters to his henchmen and or ficeholders to defeat me.
 "If the people want these things GOV cred up vote for Governor O'Nears candidate. MT Charles Henderson. If you want a complet exposure of pres ent conditions, including the rate sur
 render, vote for me and this is the
 only way you can obtain peace and bus

COMER PROMISES A COMPLETE EXPOSURE OF STATE CAPITAL
Issues Sensational Statement In Which He Alludes to Casting of Illegal
 Votes

B- B. Conner in sensa tional state ment issued last night charges that one of the reasons the present gov ernor is urging his defeat is on ac- count of his fear that he tComer) in the event of his election would in- vestigate the recent convict scandal. and the so-called surrender of the state to the railroads
 In the statement Mr Conner refers in spicy style 10 the Pratt letter which he published as an advertise ment in The Age Herald of yesterday morning. His statement follows:
 T do not discus the letter of MT. G. w. Pratt with any purpose of further humiiiating its author. Unfortunately the standard of political action set uu by MT. Pratt is all too common and has been fostered by the party faction in power al Montgomery for the past four years Mir Pratts view of the right and wrong of things is that of the o'Neal- Henderson wing of the party and because this is true. the letter is of dangerous importance
 ! am discussing the matter for the purpose of emphasizing to the people what we are confronted with in this campaign. l am fighting the battles ol the people, contending for their right 10 select their rulers. to put in oper- alton such policies as they indorse. and to Keep out of power any person, fac non or Interest that has gain for a motive. If the issue at the polls is to be determined by illegal votes what chance have the honest and patriotic citizens to..register their will?
 Lnfortunately the allegation of Mr. rratt' who was local manager for Captain kolb and is now one of MT. Hendersons local leaders and eIoauent orators, that in the primary of Anril Q over 2000 Illegal votes were cast for MT. Henderson In Jefferson countv aione.

Men vote illegally fron some bad motive. usually for money me Henderson management being out Tor such votes in Jefferson. accordino Q TO MT. Pratt, would not overlook apg other county where votes of the like sort could be found.
 We know. independently of MT Fratt, that the means are at the dis posai Of MT. Henderson to do this 'hlhg. Four years ago he declined to run Tor governor because he said tbe allied whisky and railroad interests de- manded compensation for financing his campaign. This year he has yielded to thelr demand and they are in ia ct
