Harry Theophilus Toulmin Of the United
States court, southern district Of Ala

stroke of paralysis sustained at his home

ville local suburb. Judge Toulmin re.
Gently announced to President Wilson his
intention to retire from the federal bench
after 80 years service in this district.
Previous to that time he served eight
years on the state court bench. Judge
Toulmins career has been very eventful.
He was the first federal Judge to issue
an injunction against a labor organiza-
ton. In 1898 he restrained workmen In
the Louisville and Nashville shops here
from interfering with strikebreakers.
Next to Judge Pardee, he is the Oldest
federal Judge in the south. So far his
has not been accepted by the
President.
Judge Toulmin was born March 4, 1885,
at Toulminville, Mobile county. He re-
ceived his preparatory education in pri-
vate schools of Toulminville. and at l5
entered the University of Alabama. Later
he took a one-year course in the Uni
versity of Virginia. He practiced law
at New Orleans. and entering the Uni
versity of Louisiana took up the study
of civil law as practiced under the code
of Napoleon in that state. After q year
in New Orleans he received license to
practice law in Alabama. When the civ..
war started he enlisted as private and
returned a brigadier general. He fought
in all the battles Of the western army
under Johnston and Hood, excepting those
in Tennessee under Hood on account of
illness. He was wounded three times

McC0rd Holds Governor Has

CURED by the attorney generals
duty but one Of discretion, Judge
Leon McCord OF the Montgomery
circuit court Saturday night dis
missed mandamus proceedings in
three cases brought by william l..
Martin, attorney general. to COM
pei the governor to affix his
signature to expense accounts.
Judge McCord handed down written
opinion in support of his decision. AT
torney General Martin will appeal to the
supreme court, and the cases will be
submitted during November. An effort
will be made to obtain a decision at the
earliest possible moment as the work
of the attorney generals department is
dependent upon the supreme courts con-
struction of the law under which the at
torney general is operating.
CAN MANDAMUS GOVERNOR
Judge McCord held that a writ of
can be issued against the gov
ernor, thus overruling one contention
of attorneys of the executive department.
However he ruled that the appropriation
contained in the attorney generals law
is not valid because it is not specific.
He announced that his decision was not
based on this point, but was constructed
about his belief that the duty which the
attorney general seeks to force upon the
governor is discretionary and ministerial.
After a careful investigation Of au-
have I been able to discover that where
an appropriation has been made which
is in amount uncertain and indefinite
the same has been decided valid" said
Judge McCord. ION the other hand. in

Judge McCord said if an appropriation

be necessary for certain account is
legal the intention Of the lawmakers
was to provide only enough money for a
specific purpose.

If followed to the last analysis, it
will be found that the long line of APP
made by our legislators

amounts appropriated in the many enact
ments were uncertain and indefinite, yet

Militia Commander Decides
TO Delay EJectmentof Cotton
Mil Workers From Houses

Anderson, s. c., November H.-After the
arrival here today of some 40 nlilitiamen,
comprising five companies of South Caro-
lima coast guard artilIerymen from neigh
boring cities, it was decided to wait until
Monday to serve writs of ejectment
against striking mill operatives residing
on mill property. Meanwhile conferences
were held with view to starting up the
mills which closed down August 81, last
after the employees demanded a 10 per
cent raise.
The state soldiers were sent here by
Governor Manning, after Sheriff Ashley
declined to eject the tenants until they
got houses into which to move" 1t was
said today's postponement was due to the
desire of Maj William F. Robertson or
Greenville, commanding the troops. 70

and because mill officials hesitated to
drive the tenants out in a rain. 1t was
stated by those interested that 70 per
cent of the workers in one of the mill
villages, all of which are near here. had
expressed their willingness to return 10
work under conditions prevailing before
the mills closed down. Managers of the
mills stated tonight that they would be
guided entirely by Major Robertson
opinion in deciding whether or not to re-
new operations of the mills. Conditions
were quiet today. and there was no indi-
cation that there would be any clashes
between soldiers and citizens.
The mills which closed down are the
Equinox and the Gluck mills, manufac-
turers of cotton ducking. Ejectments
were issued against certain strikers on
the Equinox mill property.

Paris, November f1.-North of the

greater part of Saillisel village. The
fighting continues, according to the
belletin issued by the war office to-
night. South Of the Somme there has
been chiefly artillery action.
The statement reads:
I'VE delivered this afternoon a
sharp attack on the village of Saillisel
on the Bapaume- Perronne road. a
greater part of which we recaptured.
Our troops are occupying the north
eastern and southeastern outskirts.
The struggle continues in the eastern

state.
The additional returns from
California and New Mexico did
not reduce Mr.. Wilson lead in
those states. In addition, the
democrats found comfort in a
dispatch from Los Angeles
which said that a difference of
only 654 votes was found be-
tween the highest and lowest
of the democratic electors in
the emi-official count conduct
ed by the registrar of votes.
Election officials expressed the
opinion that these figures made
it unlikely that the official
count would split California
electoral vote.
MAY WIN MINNESOTA
Corrected returns from Ramsay
county, Minnesota, today reduced the
Hughes plurality in the state to 239,
but tonight the first returns from the
National Guardsmen on the border ran
it up to 248. Political experts said this
made it virtually certain that the
state would be swung by the two re-
naming regiments on the inter-
national line. About 1000 votes were
cast by the soldiers, but all of them
will not be counted until next week.
With the contest settled to the salts
faction of his party, Chairman Nc
Cornick of the national committee
left for his home in Harrisburg to-
night.
Chairman Wilcox of the republican
committee pointed to the 1912 contest
in California, when the pendulum
swung back and forth for weeks, to
justify his position. Nothing would
be demanded or claimed, he said, until
the final count is in.
n Democratic concern today was chief
u ly in the makeup Of the next Con-
gross. The Senate will be democratic
by a, safe majority with the parties
virtually tied in the House Atten-
ton Is turned to the progressiyes So
cialists and independents, who are al
most certain to WELD the balance OF
powet in Its organization. One indie
pendent and prohibitionist will vote in
the election of a speaker and NAV cast
the deciding votes in all the Important
legislative matters coming before the
Sixty-fifth Congress.

CONFESSES ON DEATHBED
BY the Story Young Woman of Jack
sonVille, Fla, Long Suspected of
Crime, Is Exonerated.

Jacksonville, Fla.-A belated confess
sion in a local hospital by a dying
woman clears up murder mystery
and eXOnerateS well-known young
woman of this city. For seven years
that young woman has lived under the
stigma of having committed the crime.
Miss Jesse Brown is the young wom-
an. The "other woman" is Laura Liv-
ingstOn, who, at the point of death
from tuberculosis, was unwilling to
die in silence when her speech could
right a great wrong that had been
done to an innocent woman.
The man who was killed was Earl
p. Adams, an actor, then director of
the Mable Paige stock company. In
April, 1909, that company was play
ing in Jacksonville and Adams was
engaged to be married to Miss Brown
According to the story then told, he
desired to break his engagement with
Miss Brown so that he might marry
Miss Elizabeth Bagley. According to
that same story, which had gained
credence and was regarded as true un-
til today, Adams was shot by Miss
Brown when he went to her home to
explain why he had broken his engage
ment. Miss Brown was arrested at the
time, but freed through lack of evil
dence.
All Of those theories were diSproved
in the light of the confession Of Laura
Livingston, who says that Adams was
shot by Charles Virgins, her sweet
heart.
