 0N MALBORGHETT0
Struggle In Heart of Aus trian Mountains Is Un-
 abaited

Udine Italy, June 2s.-(Via Paris b:50 D. m.)-The bombardment of Nal borghetto continues. This lacono rhrase has been repeated daily since the bonn bardment of the Austrian po- sitions just west of Taryis began June 12. To understand its meaning one must realize that the struggle is oc- curing in the very heart of precip itous mountains which rise between the Italians and Austrians like a titanic wall
 A special road has been built for the transportation of Italian artillery tc bofghetto. Donkeys and mules were used for carrying the guns, ammuni tion and provisions, and thousand mountaineers and even women climbed tic heights with packs on their should CTS,
 When everything was ready the Aus trians bombarded the road and made the Italian positions untenable. The Italian gunners then decided to bonn bard Malborghetto by parabolic fire and placed their batteries behind ths mountains where the Austrians could not see them
 With the assistance of signalers on top of the mountain the Italian gun ners. in the presence of King Victor Emmanuel and members of the Brit ish military mission, began a Lombard nent of the position. The first shot fell 800 yards wide, but the second struck what the Italians call Austria Ther- mopylae. Enthusiasm on the Italian side was indescribable. The King shook hands with the officer directing the gunnery and he also was warmly congratulated by the British officers

Cornish N H., June 8-President Will son devoted several hours today to the consideration of the Mexican. the Euro pean and the Haitien situations He was in communication with Secretary Lansing and other Washington officials.

HENDERSON KEEPS
 MIND OFF POLITICS
Governor Intimates Public Should Know Something
 of Committee Reports

Governor Henderson did not permit his day of rest in Birmingham yester- day to be marred by contemplating ac- tion which the legislature might take in July.
 As is known, it is generally under stood that the legislature is planning further to ignore the suggestions ana recommendation of the chief executive and according to well defined rumor, to deprive him of the right of appoint ing members of the convict bureau and tax commission. It is believed too, that the legislature will crush the executive measure providing for an issue of bonds in the sum of $2,000,000. It has been generally hinted that for the pur- pose of remaining forever on guard, the legislature will order another split in the session and bind itself to sit 10 days in January or February.
 But when questioned regarding these topics, the governor smiled and from discussing them insisted that he be ex- cused.
 In respect to the plan of the recess committee on finance and taxation to kcep it's report hidden, the governor die express himself to the effect that it would probably serve wiser pur- bose were the committee to give the people in advance an '1nkling' Of the modioine which has been prepared The governor made the point that as tax alton represented money and as money was very close to the public heart, the ho against what might be developed next month

SLATON LEAVES FOR
 PACIFIC COAST

Atlanta, June 2s.-Former Governor John M Slaton, accompanied by Mrs. Slaton, left Atlanta late today for the Pacific coast by way of New York, and the mili- tary guard stationed at his suburban home since the demonstration against the communication of Leo M. Franks death sentence began June 21, was withdrawn early tonight.
 The departure of MT. and Mrs. Slaton was without incident Accompanied by a few friends, they motored from their home to the Terminal station, where they boarded a Southern railway passenger train.
 The four men arrested at the Slaton estate early today will be released to- morrow according to an announcement tonight by the military authorities. The 26 taken into custody Saturday, however, are to be prosecuted. Colonel Orville Hall. commanding the Fifth regiment, to- day made a written report of their ar rest to Governor Harris, who is to de- eide whether the trial shall be by mill tary or civil court. No formal charges have yet been placed against the men.

ploy good living wages, together with a reasonable return on their investment. However, in strenuous times. when bus- ness is demoralized like the period we have just experienced above mentioned, the railroads should be pubic-spirited enough and patriotic enough to bear their part of the brunt; much less than the de- mand and clamor for more freight tax out of the people, or producers of all of the wealth, on which the very existence of the railroads depends.
 The legislature should certainly be care full in clothing the railroad commission with more power the temptation in it's workings during our political campaigns making it dangerous to the public well fare

 It would probably be wise for the state legislature at it's next meeting to pass commodity rate law, fixing maximum rate that the commission should not be allowed to go beyond in fixing freight rates in the state. Furthermore, the com mission should be required to act without any hearing (formal hearing) in cases where the facts are produced by prima facie evidence (railroad receipts) that the

 Not in any way that 1 can see.
 The most partisan defender of our organization will, l think. encounter great difficulty in convincing any dis interested individual that the 200o physicians of the state need to have their affairs managed and controlled by board of directors elected for life. or that the public health affairs Of the state should be so administered. Ii is. of course, impractical for every nt. mber of the association to take part in the voting, hut we can cer- tainly have our business carried on hy body of delegates, elected to rep resent each county medical society and responsible to their county societies fer their actions.

Railroad Commissions Proposal To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I note in your issue of this date the railroad commission of Alabama has started a movement to secure an appro- priation of s25.000 to s50,00O by the state legislature next month to be used by the commission in prosecuting enforcement of its orders.
