WHO STRUCK BARNEY BOHAY
py CHARLES H. MANDY

On yesterday morning two Irishmen were arraigned before Judge Alvin M. Douglas on a charge of fighting. They were both past middle age and were brawny specimens of the ''terrier2 type that is fast passing away. One of them bore unmistakable evidences of having been in an affray for his rugged face was scared and disfigured. the other was apparently unscathed. The evidence disclosed the fact that the two men lived in the same rooming house; in fact, they slept in the same room and to all ap- pearances were friends of long stand ing It also brought out the fact that the fight was the result of an argument abdut the prowess of each other ip the istic arena, the elder of the two closing the argument with his brawny fist and knocking the other out.
 He claimed Justification or rather ex- tenuation of his actions by reasons of op- probrious epithets addressed by the other and from the further fact that his fight ing ability having been questioned, there was nothing for him to do but to give a practical demonstration of his fistic prowess.
 The assailor answered to the name of Pat O'Toole, while the assailee rejoiced in the euphonious cognomen of Barney Bohay. Both entered a plea of mot guilty and Pat was placed on the stand to testify
 Did you commit an assault on Bar ney Bohay?' asked Judge Douglas.
 "oi did not. SOFT; oi just punched him on the jaw"
 What brought about the diffieulty?''
 Tt was not brought about, Judge. it jist happened"
 T mean what started the fight
 Barney towld me Oi wus down an out as a scrapper. an said Oi couldn' t lick CT white rabbit
 Did you resent his assertion?'
 No. sorr not what yez might call re- sintin 1t at that toime, Oi jest called him a liar.'
 Then what happened?"
 He said Oi wus a liar meself. an fur thermore that Oi wus chape imitation of an ould omadhaun.'
 "A what"
 An oud omadhaum which manes a cross betune dom fule an chicken thefe Then Oi invoited em outside and Oi knocked him out
 How many blows were struck"
 Jest two yer homer. one whim Oi hit him, an the other whin he hit the ground"
 Had you been drinking?"
 No SOFT, Oi might have had about a dozen beers, an sven or eight drinks of whishey an some gin, but Oi wus not drunk"
 When Barney was questioned he good naturedy tried to shield his partner and said that he was struck by a mysterious third party, but Pat would have none of this and, seemingly jealous of his fis- tic prowess insisted that he twus the man that struck Barney Bohay." Barney then tried to shield him further by say ing that Pat was a good boy when not drinking and that he bore no malice in his heart against him.
 From what I gather from the evil derce in this case" commented Judge Douglas, "it is clear that you, Pat, have a very accommodating disposition. It is very commendable trait to accommo-

The State Has Alerady Lost One Big Industry to
 Niagra Falls
EUROPE FAR AHEAD
 IN WATER POWERS
Conflict Between States and Federal Government Seems to be Chief Cause of Trouble in the
 United States
Ky c. E.. sTEWART

Washington, July 11.-(SpeciaD- ing to the views of leaders in Congress and officials of the administration there has never been a measure in Congress of more importance directly to the people than the general dam act, now pending, which is to supercede the general dam act under which the country has been operating for years
 Under the old law the development of water powers in the United States has not made progress. The United States and particularly the south. is blessed by nature to a wonderful degree with great resources in water power With these natural advantages in abundance in all sections of the country, the United States under the old dam act has witnessed the development of water power in the ma tions of Europe to the vast commercial benefit of those nations, while compara- lively speaking, nothing has been accom- plished in this country where water power abounds on every hand, and is going to waste.
 Alabama Lost Big Plant
 Under the old dam act Alabama, either through the fault of the act or for some other reason undefined and unaccountable, lost within the last two years big in- vestment, which went to Niagara Falls. Because of the old dam act, or for some other reason, President Taft vetoed the grant of Congress to the Alabama Power company. at Lock IS, which was to lead to the building of a plant for the manu- lecture of fertilizers, utilizing the power derived from the plant for that purpose; this plant was to be built in Alaahma. After the defeat of the bill the plant went to Canada. The south lost an investment of many millions; it lost more than that, for the United States is paying to the Chilean government annually the sum of S2o,000,0O0 to $25, ,000,000 for Chilean salt peter, which is Indispensable for use in the fertilizers of this country, but which can, and is, successfully competed with by cynanamid,/ a product manufactured by electrical process derived from cheap waterpower.
 The south is a great purchaser of fertil- izers. The south has enough waterpower to make all the fertilizer it consumes and millions of tons to spare. The develop ment of Muscle Shoals to it's fullest ca pacity would mean that Alabama would have the greatest developed waterpower in the world, greater even than Niagara Falls.
 It is going to waste under our present laws. Representative Richardson, under years endeavoring to get some kind of legislation looking to the development of Muscle Shoals, and he failed The power
