BRANDON ORATOR
 . AT BE UNDERWOOD RALLY IN PULLMAN
Stirring Address Delivered Monday Night in Behalf of Peerless Demo-
 cratic Leader

Culman, March 24-(Specal.) )-Judge
 William W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa ad-
 dressed an appreciative audience of 800 voters of this city last evening in be- half of the candidacy of Oscar W. Un-
 derwood for the United States Senate.
 Tie rally was held in the Esther Opera l House, the largest auditorium in the city,
 which was packed to the doors. As the
 meeting was not advertised outside of
 the city, it is an indication of the great strength of MT. Underwood in this sec- l tion.
 William F.. James. who is managing
 the Underwood campaign in Cullman
 county, made a splendid address in in- | troducing Judge Brandon. He compli- l r1ented the thrifty German immigrants | who founded the city or Cullman in the 1 early sos and paid glowing tribute to
 Oscar Underwood, democracys peerless 1 leader.
 Judge Brandon was in his best form and delivered a stirring address, which was we'll received. He held his audi
 ence spelbound throughout the evening. | To Illustrate his points the judge inter- | spersed his remarks with some side | splitting anecdotes for which he is noted. In his opening remarks Judge Bran don stated that it was not his purpose | to vilify or belttle Captain Hobson. but | to eXtol the virtues and claims of Oscar Underwood and contrast the records of | the opposing candidates He warned the voters against the injection of false is- sues into the campaign. stating that the 1 orly issue was the records of the two candidates and which would make the T. -t the Senate He appealed to the demo- cratic voters to uphold their leader, who led their party to success in 1912, and had steered the demoera..c ship clear of the shoals of fatal mistakes since the party gained control of the Congress- He also stated that the defeat of Under- wood would be victory for the repub- lican party, the news would be flashed l across the wires on April that the peo- pie of Alabama had repudated the dem ocratic leader and author of the demo- cratic tariff bill and were tired of dem- ocTatic rule.
 Judge Brandon concluded his remarks by appealing to the voters of Culman
 county to rally to the standard of Os-
 car Underwood, the brilliant leader of
 the democratic host, and not place d
 premium on negligence of public duty
 or penalize public duty well performed.
 Ray Rushton of Montgomery, cand-
 date for the short senatorial term, was
 present and made talk on behalf of
 his candidacy. MT. Rushton was well
 received and apparently made a num-
 Der of friends in Cullman.
 Judge Brandon and Mir James left the
 city this morning to make a tour of the county in behalf of MT. Underwood. After
 concluding his tour of Cullman, Mr.
 Brandon will address the voters of Mar shall and other east Alabama counties.

ABSENT WITNESSES DELAY FOREMAN CASE
St. Clair Citizen on Trial at Ashville Charged With
 Murder

Ashville, March 24-(Special.)-I4it progress was made here today in the trial of c. B. Forman, charged with the mur- der of Connie Compton, aged 1e, last fall, owing to the fact that two important witnesses were absent, Buna Henry be- ing in Birmingham and Hugh Herring, a mere lad, being confined to his home at Springville. suffering with measles. The trial is being conducted in the St. Clair crciut court, and when court opened this morning the little courthouse was packed with interested spectators, as the Formans are among the most promi- nent people of the county. The jury was secured late this afternoon and court adjourned until Wednesday morning at S:30 o'clock.
 The defense has refused to state what is expected from George Beason, a col ored barber, who was arrested in Br- mingham last week charged with being implicated in the killing of Connie Comp ton last November. The killing of young Compton, who is relative of the defend- ant, it is alleged grew out of a dispute concerning hunting dog, in which shots

B. H. COOPER MAKES . FRIENDS IN MOBILE
Candidate Visits Several South Alabama
 Counties

B. H. Cooper, Jefferson countys can didate for associate member of the rail- road commission, returned to Birmingham yesterday after having made a tour of several counties in the southern end of the state. He is very confident of being elected.
 ''I went direct to Mobile" he said last night. "One of my opponents, s. P. Gail
 lard, lives there. He was exceptionally clever to me and introduced me to many people. I am confident that l will run second in Mobile.
 T also visited Barbour, Bullock, Pike,
 Dale and Montgomery counties. I will carry the majority of those counties. and will run well in Montgomery. As a re- suit of my trip, I am very hopeful of being elected. l have found that the majority of people with whom l have talked are inclined to criticize the recent settlement between railroad attorneys and the governor of Alabama. and the members of the railroad commission. As soon as I told the people that I thought the settlement unwise-at least unwise-they pledged themselves to sup port me-"
 Mr. Cooper announced that he would go immediately to Walker, Talladega and Tallapoosa counties.

THOROUGH PROBE
 OF LACY'S CHARGE
 URGED BY BROWN
tContinued From Page one)

l ------->---~--> 1 this charge be true. in the light of the re- gently widely published evidence in the Lacy case, that Lacy absconded the very l next day with S90,000 mufe, it might fur ther be implied from Lacy's alleged state , nlont that the governor not only tried to 1 help cover up a known shortage in the department, either willingly or unwit tngly but held off Brooke until Lacy had safely absconded.
 That there are the implications which in the light of recent events in Alabama reasonably arise from the statement above set out, was shown by the main headline appearing across the top of the front page of the papers containing the same, which headline read about as fol- lows: Lacy duplicates Governor ONeal
 in Convict Department Scandal The governor so construed it also, and in his letter requesting me to call your body to- gether to investigate the charge, he said that the plain intent of the article att triDuted to Lacy was to make against him, the governor, criminal charge.
 Code Is Quoted
 Whether the article be misunderstood or not. whether it might possibly bear a construction consistent with the gov ernor's innocence, though all its state que about. This is no time to split hairs. 1t is matter of common knowledge that this statement has been generally un- derstood as a charge that the governor of this great state of ours was in some was implicated in, or accessory to- one of the greatest crimes in the history of Alabama.

 "So, gentlemen of the grand jury, permit me to say, in conclusion, tha the court has not called you together either to indict Governor O'Neal, or to white-wash him; but it has called you together to make a brave and hon est effort to get at the real facts, and act accordingly in the light of your duty under the law.

 Chamberlain Fires Shot
 One of the first guns of opposition to the repeal in the Senate was fired today by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, through the introduction of a resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for all available information as to the cost of maintenance of navigable rivers and canals through which all shipping by an act passed in 1881 was guaranteed passage free of tolls. In Il preamble to the reso- lulon it was asserted that if the policy of the government with relation to the Panama canal tolls is to be reversed, the policy with reference to all rivers and canals also should be changed and tolls charged all shipping to pay the govern ment for maintaining the waterways.
 My chief purpose in introducing this resolution said Senator Chamberlain tonight, ''is to show if, as repeal cham pions maintain, the toll exemption to American ships is a ship subsidy granted by the government that it has always been the policy of the government since to subsidize our shipping. If we are go- ing to charge our shipping tolls at Pan anna we ought to charge tolls else where"
 There will be a discussion of the reso- lution in the Senate tomorrow, Senator Chamberlain planning to call it up. Sen ator O'Gorman today had read to the Senate a series Of telegrams from vari- ous parts of the country congratulatinS him in his stand against canal exenp- tion repeal.
