 The interest was not confined alone to politicians. but to the general public. l knew, of course. that some of the wise old political birds were up a tree trying to see which way the wind was liable to blow in the event that Barrett was elected. while others were eagerly map ping out a course if Ward was kept in power"

McClure,s Last Visit to Alabama

McCiure's Last Visit to Alabama There are some facts connected with Col. A. K. McClure's last visit to Ala l oama that have never been shade public
 and which it seems to me should be pub
 iished in an episode in Alabama history, "
 said Col. N. F. Thompson, who accom-
 panied Colonel Mcclure on that trip in 1Sss
 T was then industrial agent at Johns- town, Pa.," he said, "and had frequent l interviews with Colonel Mcclure during
 my almost weekly trips to Philadelphia,
 and finding him ever devoted friend
 or Alabama, a place was finally sug- sested and agreed on for rendering the state substantial service. obtained Col onel McClure's consent to make speak ing tour of the state on condition of ar ranging transportation. The Pennsylva-
 mia railroad supplied special car with l free transportation over it's lines, and the Louisville and Nashville railroad agreed and did handle the car from Cincinnati 1 under like conditions Colonel Mcclure delivered addresses at Huntsville, Deca- tur Birmingham, Selma, Montgomery
 and Mobile on the resources of Alabama, with which he was marveously familiar
 An agreement was made with the Hon. Joseph r. Johnston, then governor, for special edition of the Philadelphia
 Times, Colonel McClure's paper, and that edition was issued and paid for by Gov ernor Johnston, the preparation of the matter for the same being left in my hands.
 "All this was preliminary to far reaching plan for colonizing some 5oo0o
 acres of Alabama lands, but which had
 not been made public. Colonel Mcclure had a list of IA millionaire citizens Of Philadelphia, whose aid and influence he expected to obtain to further trese plans, but the Spanish-American war broke out and delayed them. and then the principal owner of the Times died when the whole plan was abandoned"

SEE EARLY END OF TRIAL.
Attorneys Believe Mrs. Mooney Will
Know Fate by July 10.

/. SAN FRANCISCO. June 27.-The
prosecution in the case of Mrs. Rena
Mooney. on trial for murder in connec-
ton with the bomb explosion last July
during a preparedness parade. was
hopeful today that its evidence would
be concluded by tomorrow night, and
attorneys for the defense declared that
by July 10 the fate of Mrs. Mooney
probably would be in the hands of the
jury Presentation of additional evil
dence to support the contention of the
state that the defendant was a party
to an anarchist conspiracy was to be
continued today.
Counsel for defense has objected to
the conspiracy evidence on the ground
that it has no part in the murder trial.
Mrs. Mooney Is charged with the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Myrtle Van Loo. one of ten
persons who lost their lives in the ex-
plosion. Final admissibility of the
conspiracy testimony depends on
whether Judge Emmett Sewell decides
that the prosecution has proved its con-
spiracy case.
