ton for ability and efficiency that

stood the legal test. He advocated
enlargement of the commission's
powers through legislation model

approved by Gov. Lister and which

Who the candidates for the Re-
ere is sketched briefly in the fol-
lowing list, amended slightly from
the original which appeared in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Of this
number, Mcbride, McNeely, Lewis,
Lee, Hartley and Hodge have Wis
tied Lynden, and each has made a
number of friends in this district.
The following are the candidates:
One candidate, and only one, Rol-
and G. Hartley, of Snohomish, is
basing his candidacy upon a clearly
defined, concrete issue. His slogan
question the right of labor to Or
game, but he does challenge the
right of organized labor to say that
man must belong to union or be
denied employment and a chance 10
earn living. Col. Hartley, who
has been mayor of Everett and q
member of the legislature, is a
man of affairs and a large employ
er of labor.

O-LE-AYE-E-WHO-AND EDISON
SINGERS SING ON

There are gossips and suspicious
people in this city of Chicago who
say that a days work at Marshall
Field & Co. will stop anybody from
feeling like singing a song.
Both Marshall Field & Co. and the
Commonwealth Edison Co. have put
an end to this kind of talk by the
organization of choral societies.
These choral societies are a public
exhibit of glad working people sing
ing glad songs.
Whatever the Chicago vice COM
mission reports about low wages and
no matter what the Illinois vice COM
mission finds, the fact is that dozens
and dozens of people are ready for
joyous yOdling or rousing haIlelujahs
after a days work at Fields or Edi-
son Co.
The only fellow that's hard hit is
the trust press reporter who has to
go to one of the concerts and write
a news story puff about it, tickling
the advertisers and jOshing the meal
ticket of his newspaper.

for the Tribune. He went to the con-
cert at Orchestra hall given by the
Commonwealth Edison choral So
ciety and then went back to the
Tribune Office, took a hitch in his
suspenders, straddled a typewriter
and kicked out the best copy that
was in him.
Organizations like the Common
wealth Edison Co. Choral society,
heard in concert last evening at Or
chestra hall by a large audience, are
of incalculable good" writes De La
marter. "The type of such ensem-
bles is well, known here, thanks to
the appearance of the Common
wealth Edison Co. orchestra and the
Marshall Field Choral society.
Whatever may be their inspira-
ton, their influence results in a
training in music"
And that one little line whatever
may be their inspiration" will lead to
more and more suspicious. It is evil
dence that even the Trib musical
critic amt sure whether the big bust
ness houses are after JOY and music
or whether it's something else with a
little resting noise like new paper
dollars.
One passage from the Trib's mu-
sicker critic sounds almost like it was
from the finance page and came from
a press agent boosting the market. 1t
reads:
1.-The Commonwealth Edison choir
is still in the chrysalis stage, judged
from the coldIy critical angle. It has
acquired a good sense of rhythm, is
precise in the matter of attacks and
has learned to have its fOrtissimoes
for climaxes"

M'NEIL OFFERS TO
 REIMBURSE THE CITY
City Will Probably Seek to Prosecute Men Who Took Steel Bridge
 at West End

N. R. AIcNeil, manager of Birmingham Iron and Devepolment company, offered yesterday to reimburse the city for the SSOO0 steel bridge which was stolen last January from West End
 Immediately after making public the offer Commissioner Arlie Barber stated that he would institute civil proceedings for the recovery of the bridge and other damages and also bring the entire mat ter before the grand jury.
 From the lowest to the highest" said Commissioner Barber, will be prosecuted for this fraud perpetrated on the city"
 The city commission approved of the attitude of Commissioner Barber and told him to go ahead.
 According to the evidence already gathered by the detective department it appears that an official of a junk com psny forged an order and gave it to a negro now serving sentence in the mines to go and get the steel bridge. After the bridge had been sold the negro was told to get some steel girders at the Weatherly viaduct. Tt was for getting caught in this act that the negro is now serving a sentence at Flat Top. The con fession of the negro is now in the hands of the detective department.

The Two Men Had Quarrel of a Minor Nature Earlier in the Day. Son Expresses Deep Regrets

J. M Franklin, 50 years old, was shot and killed at Republic, mining town in the northern part of the county, by his son, S E. Franklin, aged 23, about 123O yesterday afternoon. The young man came to Birmingham about o'clock and gave himself up to Sheriff Y. J. Batson stating that he had killed his father. He was locked up in the county jail pending an investigation by Coroner c. L. Spain today.
 According to Franklin's story, he was seated at the dinner table when a quar- rel arose, following which his father advanced upon him with drawn knife He said his father was so near on him that he had no chance of escape and the only thing left him to do was to kill him or get killed. The father and son had had some words of a minor nature earlier in the day, it is said, but the young man stated it was not serious enough to give him any alarm and he had no idea that his father had any i'll will toward him until he was attacked. He expressed deep regret over the occurrence. The father is said to have been drinking

WHITE WOMEN FINED
 ON FRAUD CHARGES
Advertising Solicitors Convicted in Police Court of Obtaining Money
 by False Pretense

Mrs. Britt and Miss Myra Hicks of Mobile were fined and given a street sentence by Judge Atherton yesterday on charges of soliciting advertisements with out license and obtaining money by false pretenses. They were fined $25 each in both cases and were each sentenced to 60 days extra.
 of prominent business men of the city who testified they had paid the defend- ants money for advertisements in pub lication purported to be gotten out by several charitable institutions of the city including the Mercy Home, the Chil- dren's Hospital and other like charities
 The case attracted much attention as this is the third time recently that con- vlctions have been had on alleged fraud ulent advertising matter, and as the names of the charitable institutions had been used many of the women who de- vote their time and means to these chari- ties were present at the trial.
 The women denied any attempt at fraud and offered in evidence a book they had gotten out in Mobile along the lines of the one they proposed to publish here Checks were introduced showing quite an amount of money they had received from local business and professional men on their scheme.
 Judge Atherton suspended the street sentence pending good behavior and in default of payment of the fines the wom- en were placed in charge of Mrs Lind ley of the welfare department
