argues will mean much for the A. 4

introduced by Col. Henry Sackett Of
Coleman county. calls for clipping Of

uniyersity-a complete separation
which he argues will work a benefit
TO both institutions and especially
10 A. a NJ. He says he does not fear
but that the people will vote for the
amendment when they come to under
stand It's purpose. There is practical
ly no opposition TO the amendment.
according TO Mr.. Gamer. He says
there are no bonds and no additional
tax. just a separation. lie declares
the only opposition that has been
made comes from those not well In
formed as TO the needs Of the two
institutions. He argues that one Of
the greatest goods from the adoption
Of this amendment will be the remnv.

State will be called upon the 2ith OF
July to pass upon six proposed
amendments to the constitution. Are
they ready to vote? Without any dis
paragement Of their intelligence we
feel warranted in saying emphatically
they are not. Whose duty Is II to ex.
plain these amendments The ans
wer IL easy to give: The members
Of the house Of representatives and
the members Of the senate Of the
Thirty.Fourth Legislature. These are
the men who are responsible for
these amendments. They discussed
them In both houses and by their
votes they have been submitted. But
Il 10 not only the duty Of the mem
bers Of the legislature to'explain these
amendments to the voters. II Is just
as encumbent upon the press Of the
State to do so. The voters have a
right to expect the papers which they
support with their own money to en-.
tighten them on all public matters.
and especially on matters pertaining
to their duties as citizens. II Is not
enough to say that the amendments
have been published In one paper In
each county. Often the papers are
selected to publish these amendments
for political reasons and without any
reference to circulation.

here from st. Paul in response to a

peeved when Packey failed to appear.
Mcfarland remained in Joliet, in
terested in some political affair. He
asserted he would be in Chicago at
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon to close
negotiations. Gibbons will remain
here, as Mike has his dander up and
he wants to make his fellow-Irishman
come across with proper forfeit.

Mr.. Bresnahan is not conducting
troop of cutters. Any team which
can finish the fourth inning five runs
behind, play to the support of uncer-
tain pitching and whale out a muscu-
lar victory deserves credit for deter
mination and spirit such as has been
strangely absent from Cub teams of
the last two or three seasons.
There are several angles to the re-
vamped Cubs which are work of con-
sideration. One of the principal
changes seems to be in Heinie Zim-
norman, the well known Krupp gun.
In the past it has appeared that Tim
fought earnestly to get put out of the
game and placed under the cooling

just as strenuously to stay in the bat
tie each afternoon.
An instance of this occurred in the
final St. Louis game, when Zim
arched the ball in the general direc-
ton of first base between innings, the
ball hitting Umpire Eason. Tim had
just enjoyed slight argument with
Nal, and Umpire Quigley, back of the
plate, thought Zim deliberately aimed
at his partner. In justice to Zim it.
should be said that Quigley was ap-
parently wrong, as Safer was asleep

SOLICITOR ALMON EXONERATED BY
 SUPREME COURT Decision Announced Ten Minutes After Attorney General Completed
 His Argument

Montgomery, November 4,-tSpeciall } The supreme court of Alabama this aft ernoon decided that Solicitor David All mon of Decatur. representing the Eighth Judicial circuit, was not guilty of any impeachable conduct. and completely ex- onerated him from the charges preferred against him by the Morgan county grand jury. Solicitor Almon was charged in the original specifications. with wilful neglect of duty, corruption in office, and offenses involving moral turpitude
 The courts decision was reached with. !n 10 minutes after Attorney General Will liam l.. Martin concluded his argument for the prosecution, and as soon the court had retired to the consultation room. Gathered in the capitol corridors were nearly 100 of Solicitor Ahnon's friends from the Tennessee valley, and as soon as they heard the courts ver- dict several vigorous cheers were given for that popular official.
 The impeachment hearing began early this morning, and only few witnesses were examined. Several days ago the court sustained demurrers of the defense striking out of the charges certain speci- fications, hence the hearing today was based on only two formal charges, neither of which was proven by the state. One of these charges was that George Rus sell of Deca tur had loaned Solicitor Alnon sl00s while the latter was prosecuting Rus sells uncle, though It was later brought out in the evidence that the prosecution had resulted in a conviction, and that the defendant S. case is now pending be- fore the court of appeals
 Another charge on which Solicitor All mon was tried was that he had accepted a hat from a man who gave his name as Brown, but who was really named Smith, a detective.
 The argument in the case was concluded shortly after 4 O clock this afternoon. and the court immediately repaired to the consultation room. A few minutes later Gen. Robert F. Ligon, clerk of the court, , announced that Solicitor Almon had been found not guilty
 The hearing brought to Montgomery a large number of prominent citizens from the Tennessee valley dlstrict nearly all of whom came in the interest of Solicitor AImon. Among the members of Solica-I tor Alrnon's family present were sAud ge Charles P. Al1non of Florence. asbr0theri Congressman Edward B. AlInon of Tus- cumbia, his uncle. Other well-known per- sons from north Alabama who were here ir Solicitor Almons behalf were Judge Robert c Brickell of the Eighth judicial circuit; State Senator J. M. Pride or Huntsxille State Senator Clyde Thach of Athens. Earl Smith of Huntsville, Judge J. E. Eyster of Decatur, George A Par- ker of Cullnan and many others.
