''LAw AND oRDER,n IN ALABAMA

LAW AND ORDER, IN ALABAMA
Dear siri I know you Georgians
feel that you have enough to keep
you busy with the never ending
Frank case and John NJ. Slaton, Ro-
man Catholicism, ETC., but with your
permission I'll give a little of Ala
bama politicians and political man.
ayers.
Of course, as ! am a Republican, I
am not permitted to see into the in
nermost Holes" but just see what
comes to the surface. A doctor
named Pearce and man named
Canady in Calhoun County, Ala,
murdered Mr. Gladys son and grand
son, ostensibly because of a dispute
over a road; but in reality because
old man Candy's son objected to DR..
Pearce living in adultery with his
sister. These murderers were sent
to the penitentiary for life. Since
being sent off DR.. Pearce has been
seen riding about Birmingham with
lot of women in an automobile.
Mr.. Canady has been back in the
community where he committed the
crime on a "leave Of absence" /
understand he has threatened to kill
some of the witnesses who testified
against him.
few years ago, two men named
Will and Cleve Campbell, went to
the home of Mr.. J. G. Lutte and killed
him and his wife and then robbed
them, securing probably $4,000.
They were arrested and sent to the
penitentfary for life. No appeal was
taken. The public does not know
what went with that money. They
have served about five years Some
how these men have both made their
escape and are at large. This was
in st. Claire County. Some six Or
seven years ago man in Etowah
County named Albright gave his
sick wife strychnine and killed her
in order that he might marry an
other woman. He was convicted and
sent to the penitentiary for life.
The Governor Of Alabama has par
doned this man and he is at liberty.
Verify, in, the language of noted
anarchist, 1.-The man who says he has
respect for the law and those who
are entrusted with their execution is
fool or knave."
I suppose I'll be out of joint with
my Georgia Republican brethren
since I note some time back they had
declared against Lynch Law" and

MFR. Editor, these are just few
samples Of the many that could be

BR|z|L|AN BOAT,

IS IN DISTRESS
Indications Point that She Is
Disabled by Collision and Is
Being Towed by the Sixaola

Norfolk, Va, April 9.-The Brazilian
steamer Guajara with passengers and
freight from Rio for New York to-
night was believed to be nearing Cape
Henry in tow of the United Fruit
steamer Sixaola which went to her as
sistance early today off Cape Hat
teras. The Guajapa was reported bad
ly disabled but the cause was not re-
Iorted. Only one meagre wireless was
received from Sixaola today and this
reported that she had the Guajara in
tow 301 miles south Of Scotland light
and expected to take off her passengers
as soon as the sea moderated. The
message. though it cid not say defin-
itely, indicated that the Guajara had
been in collision with some vessel. The
coastgu3rd cutter Onondaga which had
been cruising off the Virginia Capes
started for the crippled steamer early
in the day. Wireless stations along the
coast had not been able to establish
communication will her late tonight
Neither were they able to get into
touch again with the Guajara and her
convoy.
From a private wireless message
sent by one Of the Sixaola passengers
ii appears the Guajara summoned hell,
by the use Of her steam whistle sig
halling in the Morse code that she had
IA feet of water in her hold. The Six
aola is said to have stood by the ves-
sci during the greater part Of the night
with boats ready to take off her pas
sengers if need arose.
choppy sea was running, it was
said, and the Guajara was at stand
still when the Sixaola came up.

PASSENGERS ON

Wear LIFE BELTS
Passenger Steamers to Be Con-
voyed by Big Seagoing Tugs
Ready to Render Aid Should
Crisis Come

New York, April 9.-1n spite of dam
gers from mines and submarines to be
encountered in the North sea. the Hol-
and-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam
had 3Y first cabin passengers when she
sailed Saturday for Rotterdam via Fal-
mouth Capt. Van Den Heuvel said that
all possible precautions will be taken to
safeguard the lives of the passengers and
crew crossing the North sea from Deal,
Eng, to the mouth of the Mas river on
the Dutch coast. In addition to her life
boat accommodation. the liner has been
equipped with 80 light life RATS, which
can be easily thrown overheard in case
of danger.
Passengers will be assigned to their
stations on deck after the Nieuw Amstec-
dam leaves Deal, and will remain on
deck, wearing their life-belts, until the
danger zone has been passed, the captain
said.
Two big SeagOing tugs. to accommo-
date 1000 people, will follow the liner
across the North sea, and the Dutch
government has another tug equipped
with wireless off the North Hinder
lightship, AZ miles from the mouth of
the Mas, where there are torpedo boat
destroyers ready to put to sea on re-
ceipt of news of any accident to ves-
sells in the North sea.
The captain went Cr to say that the
navigation of the North sea was more
dangerous that it has been at any tire
since the war began, on account of the
number of mines driving and the sub
marine warfare carried on by the Ger
mans.
The Nieuw Amsterda m sailed at 1.45
o'clock r. NJ. instead of at noon, on
account of >having tC wait for the
ships papers from The Netherlands
consulate. The gangway had been low
cred at 1.25 o'clock, when seven ex-
cited women came running down the
pier at the foot of Fifth street, Hobo
ken, shouting for the steamer to stop
for them.
When the women recovered their
breath they explained to the passenger
agent that their tickets had been pur-
chased in Detroit, where their hus-
bands were employed in the Ford fac
tory, and they were going to Hungary
to see their relatives. The passports
had been held up by the Austro- Hun
garian consul in New York on Friday
afternoon and an appeal was made to
the legation in Washington
When the counsel was notified to
wise the passports he sent for the wo-
men, who numbered II all told. to call
at his office this morning, which .caus-
ed them to be late at the pier.
The seven women said they had run
all along River street from the fer
ry to the pier, and the gangway was
placed on the ship for them to go on
board.
A few minutes later the remaining
four women came along and one was
carrying her baby, but the agents
would not put the ganSway out again.
although the Nieuw Amsterdam was
at the pier for nearly 20 minutes aft
er they arrived. 1t was suggested
that their tickets should be transfer
red to the Oscar II. for Copenhagen
or the Espagne for Bordeaux but they
declined and said they preferred to
wait and go to Rotterdam.

Causes and Effects.

II man was to judge of causes by
their effects there would be no small
causes in the universe. In a nature
where everything is connected, where
everything acts and reacts, moves and
changes, compOses and decomposes,
forms and destroys, there is not an
atom which does not play an important
and necessary part; there is not an i'm.
perceptible particle, however minute,
which, placed in convenient circum.
stances, does not operate the most pro
digious effects. If man was in ca.

pursue the concatenated links that con.
meet with their causes all the effects he
witnesses he would find that
they are true atoms which nature EN-
