SEVENTH A STORM CENTER

| oGV II A IOINul S1J4N The Seventh district promises to be one 1 of the centers of political pyrotecbnics during the next four months with Watt Brown and l.. B. Rainey engaged in a struggle for the seat of Congressman Burnett. The campaign in the Seventh opens this morning when Watt Brown will make his formal announcement and launch his campaign at converting of court at Albertville. l.. B. Rainey of Gadsden, who opposed Mir. Burnett two years ago, has already made his formal announcement. He will speak at Albert vile Monday
 The Seventh has always been one of the congressional storm centers in Ala bama politics. and this year bids fair to be no exception. Watt Brown. a former member of the state senate wide ly known for his work in behalf of in
 dustrial education and one of the lead ing busiress men of north Alabama, has announced that he will make very vig-
 orous campaign. MT. Rainey ran a good
 race against MT. Burnett two years ago. and is well known over the district
 Congressman E. B. Almon will not be
 allowed to return without struggle, de- spite the fact that he is serving his first
 term. w. W. Callahan of Decatur. who was defeated two years ago by Mr. AL mon, is his opponent. This race has not warmed up yet but 1t is anticipated that the two former political rivals will add to the interest in politics for the next few months.
 In the Tenth district, William B. Bank head Is the only announced candidate and his friends claim that he will be unopposed. Congressman Hobson has been mentioned as a possible candidate from that district, and it is known that he has been urged by Hobson men all over the new district to make the race Efforts have been made by delegations from the Tenth district to induce the pro- hibition leaders of the state to use their Influence in an effort to get Hobson to make the fight, but it is understood that they refused to take a hand. It is now believed that Mr. Hobson will continue his lectures during the present year with out Interruption and will not return to Alabama 10 make the fight for Congress from the new district

 OF UNITED STATES
 ARE GOING ID TRIAL
"MoOnshine Conspiracy" Is About to Be Cleared Up. Trial Recalls Death of
 Knox Booth

Fort Smith, Ark. January 9.-Three for | ternal revenue department and four oth- CT men probably will go to trial at the term of federal district court which opens here tomorrow on charges grow 1 ing out of the so-called ''moonhine con | spiracy,'' by means of which, it Is al l leged the government was defrauded of ! thousands of dollars through the manu- facture and sale of illicit whisky. | Government officials tonight would not predict the date on which the cases would be called, but it was known that they are anxious to clear up the prose- cutions at this term and the defendants were said to be ready.
 Those called for trial are: James L. Surber, Atlanta, Ga; former superin- tendent of the Georgia revenue divi- sion; J. w. Grider, Sonora, Ark, and Newton c. Spraddling, Aurora, Mo-, for mer government whisky gaugers; J. B. Thomas, a Fort Smith saloonkeeper; Moses B. Brock, Salisburg N. C., an i alleged owner of the moonshine distil- leries; James l.. Smith, Atlanta, Ga., and Will Smith of Fort Smith.
 The indictments against the men re- suited from the operation in this city of the J. c. Brewbaker distillery, which, according to the allegations, was with out license from the middle of March, 1914 to the latter part of April, 1915. The Illicit product the government ayers, was shipped to distilling concern in Kan sas City, whence it was distributed to the wholesale and retail trade of the southwest.
 ENGAGEMENTS pL,pIrDNUn
 In June, 1915, indictments were returned against more than score of persons on charges of being connected with the fraud and at the October term of fed eral district court here John l.. Casper of Kansas City, described as 'the brains of the conspiracy and four others pleaded guilty and were sentenced to from one to nine years in Leavenworth prison. Casper drew the most severe Sentence-nine years in prison and fine of S33, ,000
 One of the leaders in the conspiracy Knox Booth-died suddenly three days after his former associates had pleaded guilty and government detectives still are Investigating his death. Booth was superintendent of the Tennessee revenue district. According to his own confes- sion, say government officials, he took bribes from the ''moonshiners Booth was in Ft. Smith in October ready to testify against the conspirators but the pleas of guilty made this unnecessary.
 When Booth left Fort Smith he is said to have told friends he feared for his personal safety. Three days later he died suddenly in Memphis, Tenn. His body was eXhumed and an alaysis made of his stomach. Doctors said his death was caused by stomach trouble and that there were no indications that he had been poisoned.

The other looked at her scornfully.
"Of course she knows. She's waiting
to learn the result of the operation"
She came that afternoon, a tall,
proud-looking beauty, asking for the
little gentleman. She had just learn
ed, she said, that he had undergone
an operation. She did not know what
it was. He was friend of hers
she was distressed.
Nurse Rensham took her apart.
Women can be crueler to each other
than men when it is needful, and
Nurse Rensham thought Edith Car
stairs was hypocrite. She broke the
news to her with few burning words
that made Edith Carstairs gasp, and
then shook her into passionate Sob
bing.
She had not known, she had not
dreamed, she said. She did not know
that the little gentleman had ever
cared for her like that. The nurse
was half convinced, almost convinced
when she took Miss Carstairs to the
little gentleman's bedside for mo-
ment and saw her kneel and press
his white hand to her lips. But she
was not sure.
''He shall never marry her until 1
know" Nurse Rensham said.
The little gentleman was the dear
est patient they had ever had in the
hospital. He never complained,
though the pain of the cramped posi-
ton ate into the flesh and muscle
and sinew. After five weeks the sur
geon began to talk of taking off the
bandages and uncasing him.
Nobody knows whether it has
been successful" he told Miss Car
stairs, who had been a regular Wis
itor. The two had been loverlike
enough, but Nurse Rensham was still

''Will you come in here moment,
please" said, motioning to her to
enter the drug room.
There she told her. The operation
had failed. The little gentleman
would be more hopelessly crippled 4
than before. The nurses face was
white and resolute. Her eyes cleaned +
vindictively. 'Now let me see fhatF

to say. 2
