Murder. .-....

MinneWauken, N. d., Dec. 23.-Mrs.
Hans Sogge, wife of a farmer livir e
eight miles from Minnewauken; her
daughter, Bessie Sogge Jones and the
latter's husband, Wilmer Jones, were
arrested Saturday night on charge
of murder The complaint which
was sworn out by Sheriff Randall of
Benson county, charges the murder
OF an illegitimate child, born on Oct.
19, to Bessie Sogge.
According to statements given out
by States Attorney T. H. Burke, the
child was born in an outhouse at the
home of Harold Sogge, a son of Mrs.
Hans Sogge, who lives about two
miles from his fathers place. Mrs.
Sogge and her daughter were alone
at the time. When the child was
born it was thrown into a vault and
left to perish, according to the
charge.
The birth, it is said, occurred be-
tween and o'clock p. m. At 10
that night the child's plaintive cries
we're heard, but it was left to die
from exposure.
States Attorney Burke says The
two women have practically admitted
the crime. The mother of the infant
told the attorney she went to the
house when in the throes of child
birth. Her mother, she said, told
her to leave the child in the vault.

"LAYINe ouT' MONOPOLY.

"LAYlNG OUT" MONOPOLY.
In President Wilson's last letter to
Congress, addressed to House Leader
Oscar Underwood, he writes: 1T is
our purpose to destroy monopoly and
maintain competition as the only ef-
fectual instrument of business liber-
ty," and, further, monopoly is to be
cut off at the roots" Oh! you roots!
Note that Mr.. Wilson here admits
that monopolies exist. If there is one
oil we'll that is not owned by the Stan
dard OH Company it would be easy to
prove that the STANDARD Oil is not a
monopoly. There is still chance for
competition. Any bright, ambitious
young man can start in the oil bust
ness. But let us accept the name
monopoly as applied to hundreds
OF industries; take it from our intel
lectual, far-seeing, political econo-
mist, Professor Wilson these monopo-
lies are doomed. So monopoly, whose
real name, by the way, is business
evolution, will soon lie in state. To
view the remains line will form on
the right; tread softly-Art Young

Shelby is doing more work for roads than any other county of the state, and though it made D. late start in this direction, it bids fair to outstrip other counties who get fixing start R. E..

 By the way I notice that Since The Age-Herald printed an interview with me sometime ago on the need of action to force the price of cotton seed up to the normal standard, the price has gradually increased from sl3 per bale still, the state should proceed against the buyers and crushers of seed because they are certainly guilty of violating the .eu.i- trust laws of Alabama"

Defends virsinia,s BIunder

"of course, we are sorry that Virginia has so far forgotten itself and it's past history as to put about it's neck the gall- ing yoke of statewide prohibition" said w. $. Lowell, a travelling salesman of Danville, "but at the same time we are determined that no one shall criticize the old state, and no declaration to the effect that we are rapidly deteriorating in valor and intelligence will go unchallenged.
 And Alabama has no right to cast stone at us. If I remember correctly this was one of the first states to go sgiddy. twirl on It's toes, dance to the beat of the prohibition tom-tom, and, in a word make a fool of itself. Alabama very properly, it is true, shook off the odium when first the opportunity presented it. self. But Virginia will do likewise in the near future.
 There is something about the smooth agitators which appeals and which makes their first efforts in any state almost al- ways successful. Later. however, the peo- pie regain their equilibrium and clear their skirts. Virginia will wake up geme of these days

Birmingham's Crime Explained

At 9:30 o'clock Tuesday night, in his storehouse on Ninth avenue and Nineteenth street, north, J. w. Alex ander was foully murdered by two negroes. After striking their victim and rendering him unconscious-from which blow he never recovered-the criminals riddled the cash drawer, and securing SIT, decamped. They have not been apprehended.
 There is serious condition in Bir- mingham. That which should give municipal authorities alarm and prompt them immediately to take steps towards remedying conditions, is not that man was killed and his place of business robbed, but that thieves and murderers are displaying in Birmingham a keen disregard and positive contempt for law and law officers. There can be no doubt about it. The horrible crime of Tuesday evening occurred just beyond the heart of Birmingham's business dis trict. The wife of the man was in, the rear of the building. A block away a number of gentlemen were stand ing together, ta king. The circum- stances were unfavorable for the com mission of a crime of such shocking moment. And yet, despite the situa- ton, the critle was committed.
 Tie police department should be in- creased in number, not only in order
 that criminals might be apprehended,
 but in that fear migh5 be instilled in 1 the minds of criminals which would
 make them pause when contemplating crime. MuniciTa al authorities have on
 various and sundry occasions declared that on account of the city's financial condition, no adequate relief could be had. And yet, the city authorities would not think of reducing the num-
 Der of men in the fire department. Were they to do so, the pockets of the people would be touched and the peo- pie would emit groan city-wide in its significance. But the people, with their lives forever endangered, do not emit a groan of such force and stir ring qualities that city officials would heed and act even were it against their "better financial judgment"
 Something should be done-now.

The Cathedral of Rheims

Described as "the most perfect ex- ample in grandeur and grace of Gothic style in existence" the famous Catne- dral of Rheims is one of the most re- markable structures in the world and one whose architectural beauty has never been surpassed. If the reported destruction of this cathedral is true, the loss to humanity is incalculable and irretrievable. There can be little doubt but that it has been damaged by German shells, if not destroyed, and civilization may well hang it's head at the dissertation of such a priceless edi- flee.
 Both in a historic and an artistic sense, the Cathedral of Rheims IS noteworthy It was begun on the site of an earlier church in 1212, and the work of building it was continued for three centuries. The west front is said to be the most beautiful piece of architecture produced during the mid dle ages. It was begun about 1241-42. It has a deeply recessed triple portal and contains the celebrated rose win dow, 40 feet in diameter. This win dow is reported to have been demol-  ished by shell.
 The Kings of France from Philip II to Charles X were crowned in the Ca- thedral of Rheims and it was there that Joan of Arc, the Maid of Or leans, stood with victorious banner in her hand before the high altar while Charles VII was crowned and the vis- ion which inspired this simple country girl to become the leader of a con- quering host was fulfilled. After kneeling before the monarch whose throne she had made secure, she asked permission to return to her flocks.
 Elaborate statuary, stained glass and many forms of decorative art make the cathedral renowned. In the north transept is clock which is said to be the oldest timepiece in existence Among the treasures of the cathedral that are priceless are rare church plate, reliquaries containing thorn from the holy crown, the skull of St. Remy and many rich tapestries, some of them dating from the fifteenth cen- tury. In a chapel adjoining the vestry is a rare collection of Roman and medieval sculpture, including the sarcophagus of Jovinus, the Roman prefect of Rheims, who was converted to Christianity.

street On Maine

Oliver D. Street of Guntersvile former district attorney in north Alabama, and until recently the republican nominee for governor of Alabama. is not discouraged in that Maine elected a democratic gov ernor. MT. Street was in Birmingham yesterday.
 "A democrat, 1t is true" he said was elected governor of Maine. However. when you add the vote cast for the re- publican candidate to the vote cast for the progressive candidate, the reason will be apparent The combined vote of the republican and progressive parties was greatly in excess of the vote cast for the successful democrat
 ''The so-called democratic majorites throughout the nation are fictitious. Wben the republicans and progressives get together again, they will be wiped out.
 MT. Street recalled that President Will son was elected on plurality vote and that his election was achieved by a smaller vote than was boiled for Taft and Roosevelt.

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
E1orida Rreakinr Exen

Florida's phosphate. which is manufae- tured in large quantities, has been in the past sold almost exclusively to Germany. Germany. on account of the European War, is no longer open for the goods of the world. Therefore Florida is suffering greater perhaps than any other southern state, and 1t is said that at the present time there are in Florida 15,o00 idle ne- groes.
 However, said ". B. Waddell, res ident of Jacksonville, who while returning home from trip throughout the west. stopped yesterday for a day in Birming- ham, Florida will perhaps break even. Every winter, as is known, we draw many tourists from the north and east. This year we will draw twice as many as ever before. This will be due to the fact that the war in Europe has put an end to European travel. The people with money go somewhere in the winter. and we expect not only our normal quota, but In addition all those whose custom 1t has been to visit the countries of southern Europe"

Election In RagInnd

According to Watt T. Brown of Rag land, member of the state senate, who was visitor to Birmingham yesterday, Ragland is on the highway to success. He told of the election for municipal off cers in his city last Monday, and de- clared that the voters completely ever turned the old administration.
 The following are new officials said MT. Brown: George s. McElwee, mayor; aldermen, J. G Swofford, M O. Jones, w. T. Brown, C. N. Wiley, and c. .. Davis; members of the school board, pr. J. T. Brown, J. c. DuBoise, Henry Adams, c. J. Teague and M. G. Watson.''
 MT. Brown is delighted with the way the business men of the country, in all sections. are rallying to the aid of the southern farmer. He predicts a great period of prosperity following the conelu- sion of the war

Mexican Situation Again

Villa proclaiming his independence of Carranza creates a new situation in Mexico. But for the absorbing interest in the European war, Villas action would cause an international sensation. But President Wilson worried along for long months with Huerta without involving the United States in war, and it may be safely assumed that the administration at Washington will continue to keep out of war. The withdrawal of United States troops from Vera Cruz may be delayed but there will be no invasion of Mexico as long as Woodrow Wilson is Presi- dent.
 Villas didoes may cause some &C., tivity in the state department at Washington, but President Wilson has formed the habit of patient waiting. That habit has crystalized into pol icy, and that patient waiting policy will hold as good now in regard to Mexico as it did in Huerta's brief time.
 There need be no fear whatever of a bloody conflict with Mexico
