Two-Day-Old Infant Left
in Basket on the
Front Porch.
NO CLUE TO THE
CHILD'S PARENTS
Was Found at Home of M.
J. Stewart, Near Jew
ish Cemetery.

M. J. Stewart, residing four blocks
west of the Jewish cemetery, last
night shortly after 7 o'clock, found
an abandoned girl baby, possibly a
couple of days old, in basket on his
front porch. The little wait appeared
satisfied with her little world, and at
last reports was in good health and
none the worse for her ladyship's
unusual debut into world society.
Mr.. Stewart said that there was
nothing to indicate the parentage of
the child. "She was just left here in
the baskets, wrapped in some cloths,
and that is as far as / can tell you
about il" said Mr.. Stewart to Jour
nal representative "But / can tell
you; if no one wants that little girl
she is in good home right now,
where she can remain for the rest of
her days" he said.
Mr.. Stewart said that the basket
was discovered on his front porch
about o'clock, and that, as far as
he could tell, no one had been seen
about the premises, which makes the
affair all the more of mystery. The
child appears to be in good health,
is apparently two days old, he said,
and unless the parentage is success
fully established, he will keep the
little girl and himself provide for
her a home in his family Of four,
and be glad of the chance to take in
the little stranger.
The abandonment of the child was
reported during the night to the po-
lice, but thus far there has been moth
ing in the way Of establishing the par
entage There was a question last
night as to whether or not it would
/, be advisable to prefer a charge of
cruelty to children to the parents II
located, but it was asserted that Stew
art will probably provide q better
home for the little thing than it could
get with its evident unfeeling and
unnatural parents.

In ALABAMA
Birmingham Man Speaks to
Large Crowd in NAL

STRONG STATEMENTS
IN PROHIBITION
Says Birmingham and Other
Cities Are More Pros
porous Than Ever.
STRONG STATEMENTS
IN PROHIBITION

That prohibition in Alabama does
prohibit, and that it has not caused
the predicted business losses, were
assertions made last right by Judge
S. D. Weakley, of Birmingham, late
chief justice of Alabama, when he
spoke to large audience at Mallory
Court. Hundreds crowded about the
speakers stand, and he held their
close attention for more than an hour.
Judge Weakley was introduced to
his audience by Judge E. D. Beggs of
the Prohibition League.
Judgs WeaIley saidr that he was
not professional temperance speak
er, and had never received any COM
pensation for any work he had ever
done for prohibition, or any law that
he had every written for prohibition,
into the statutes of the state of Ala
bama, and he has been sponsor for
three of the most important prohibi-
ton laws that Alabama has ever had
that of 1907; the Carmichael and
Fuller bills of 1909, and in the recent
legislature, the anti-advertisin1 and
the anti-shipping law, that was fought
and assailed from every standpoint
by the liquor interests, but not one
line or one comma of which was
changed, and which is effective today

Rome, Sept. 24.-The earth shock
which was felt here tonight was more
pronounced in other districts Of Italy,
but so far as has been reported, no
great damage was done. At Avez-
zano, the earthquake caused the peo-
pie to rush from the huts in which
they have been living since the great
disaster of last January, but as no
buildings have been erected there
since the city was destroyed, the dam
age was negligible. In the city of
Aquila, So miles northeast OF Rome,
and throughout the province of that
name the shock was felt distinctly,
causing considerable alarm.

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION.

Judge Weekley predicts nationwide
prohibition, and believes that the next
session of congress will vote for a
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition.
When the Car of Russia, President
Poincare of France, and Lord Kitch-
ener of England are in favor of pro-
hibition now at this hour of great
world strife; when King George and
his family have declared themselves
teetotalers during the great war; and
when even Kaiser William, in speak
ing to the students of the German
navy, declared that the navy drink
ing the least alcohol will be the navy
to conquer the world, Judge Weakley
thinks it is time for the United States
to put its ear close to the ground
and take heed to the trend Of the
times.
''The fact that already a majority
in the United States senate have
voted in favor of a national prohibi-
| ton amendment, shows the strong
sentiment of the people of this coun-
try in favor of national legislation to
suppress the liquor traffic, and in my
Judgment the national amendment is
more than likely to win at the next
session of congress, said Judge Weak
ley, and continued, in part, as fol
lows:
"a few weeks ago Virginia voteC
$4,000 majority for prohibition. -
two Virginia senators, with their ear
to the ground, have stated that wher
congress next convenes they viii vot'
for nationwide prohibition. On Sep
TENDER 18th South Carolina voted TO
prohibition, by majority of 10000
effective January /, and every count,
in South Carolina which had been DIR,
already cast a majority for prohibi
ton. Only Charleston was joined t
her idols, and Charleston, like Mobile
and Montgomery and Birmingham
has had to heed the voice of the peo
pie The time has passed when cit
may declare itself more powerful tina
: the state. Don't believe it when 20
hear that in Mobile, Montgomery an
