GOVERNOR PARDONED
DIR. BISBEE OF BRISTOL
Served Four Years and Four Months
for Causing the Death of Is People
by Wood Alcohol.

BRISTOL, May 24.-Dr Don A. Bis
bee, who, by mistake, sold wood alcohol
for beverage purposes while in the drug
business in this town in the fall of 1914,
Is persons dying as a result OF drinking
the poisonous beverage, arrived IN this
town yesterday afternoon, having been
pardoned by Gov. Clement after he had
served four years and four months OF his
l2-year term in the state prison at Wind
sor. He was found guilty of manslaugh-
ter.
DR. Bisbee, who is about 20 years old,
was in cheerful mood when seen at the
hotel here. He appears to be IN much
! better health than when committed Ito
prison His plans for the future, he stat
ed, were indefinite but that for obvious
reasons, he probably would not remain
| in this vicinity
At the time of his trial which began in
December, 1914, the respondent claimed
that he ordered from a Troy, n. Y, firm
quantity of alcohol which he intended
| to sell illegally as a beverage and that the
shipment came labeled cologne spirits. y
| This he sold to his customers, who, after
| drinking the stuff, Immediately became i'll
- dying within a short time and two
otHefS SucculnDing later. An ANALYSIS ol
the liquid which he had sold showed il
to be wood alcohol
DIR. Bishee later brought legal action
against the firm which shipped him the
poisonous beverage without the proper la
bells and within the last year the firm
settled with him for $l,700, thus accept
ing the responsibility for the error
This fact did more than anything else
to help DR.. Bisbee to gain his freedom
!, as it released him from all blame except
that of selling intoxicating liquor contrary
to the law.

NEXT FIGHT WILL BE MADE ON TOBACCO

Washington, August 6.-(Special. 1.-The reformers of the country, it is now off cially established do not intend to rest following their victory over liquor They are now on the trail of tobacco. N
 The Woman's Christian Temperance union, Congress is informed, intends to celebrate it's 50th anniversary in March. 1924 by the submission to the states of an amendment preventing the growth. sale and importation of tobacco.
 remarkable feature of the statement to Congress is that the woman's union is supported by the Anti-Saloon league, an organization which stS ted that it's sole business was the suppression of the liquor traffic. It is presumed in consequence son, '1am" Patterson and other high crusade declaring that more men ois annually in the United States from the eff feet of tobacco poisoning than have been killed in all the wars of the world.
 There is of course skeptcism regarding the probability of the reformers' success. but as the Washington Post editcrially points out this morning, there was skep- ticism regarding the movement against lio,ror The Post comments on the fact that the Anti-Saloon league, with hs willy politicians and politics. put liauor out of business, and that very probably 1t could also put tobacco out of business.
 Already the anti-tobacco crusade has strong friends in Congress The indlca- tions are that the cigarette will be first assailed, then the cigar. then all tobacco in general.

COL. BANKHEAD. TALKS
 OF SITUATION IN HUNGARY

Washington, August 6.-(SpeciaL)-Col Henry M Bankhead, recently returned from France has been stationed in Wash ington. He has been in the army 21 years and has served abroad for nine years. He was in Europe during the war against Germany for practically one year
 Following the armistice Colonel Bank head saw a great deal of Europe. He was in France, England. Italy, Russia, Germany and Hungary. At one time he was in charge of Americans at Monte Carlo.
 One of the most unique experiences of Colonel Bankhead was in Kassa. The diplomats at Versailles had ordered Bella Kun to cease firing, and to retire so many kilometers each day. An allied mission was sent to Kassa to see that the orders were carried out, and carried out without frightful depredations against the people. Colonel Bankhead was a member of that commission.
 "On arriving at Kassa," said Colonel Bankhead, 1T was surprised to note that instead of as enemies or conquerers, we were greeted as friends and heroes. The people gathered in the streets toesee us and cheer us. When we extended the Amrican flag from our hotel the cheering was prolonged We were royalty enter tained Bella Kun had declared state of prohibition, but in our honor the champagne was permitted to flow
 'Out in the streets as we dined the music continued. Finally, an orchestra was brought into the banquet hall Its leader declared that he had played before Edward VII He was indeed great mu- sician, and the Hungarian airs were es- pecially pleasing.
 "A courier then informed us that the people would not leave the front until we had made them a speech. This we con scented to do. I spoke in generalities, tell ing them that the United States was not their enemy, but their friend, as it was the friend of all mankind. An interpreter gave the crowd the message. There fol- lowed demonstration.
 "Bela Kun, after long deliberation, de- cided to obey the dictates of the allied nations, and withdrew in good order. He was one of those buzzards who remained aloof as long as actual fighting was un- der way. and then -swooped down with agitation to reap the harvest. Numerous officers under him told us that they were not bolsheviki, but that they had to serve in the army or starve or be shot.
 s"The people of Hungary appeared rest less; they were swerved from pillar 10 post They were ready for any emer- gency and prepared for any novel enter prise which promised stability and ger manency, return to normal conditions.

Washington. August 6.-(SpeciaI) )-Civil service rules and regulations will prevail in filling postoffice vacancies in Alabama, aceording 10 members of Congress from that state.
 While congressional pressure might pre- vent an unworthy man from landing an oftice such pressure would not avail in preventing worthy man from winning provided he made the highest rating in the competitive examination.
 There are several vacancies to be filled in Alabama, one at Tuscaloosa, where Postmaster Samuel F. Clabaugh has re- signed; another at Ensley, another at Fayette and others elsewhere. From each of these places prospective applicants have addressed letters seeking aid and advice to members of the Alabama con- gressional delegation.

Wilson Puts Republicans
 Squarely On Defensiue
Col H. M Bankhead Discusses Attitude of Hungarians Toward Americans-Indicatons That Next Nation
 wide Crusade Will Be Against Tobacco
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, August e-(special) )-The burden incident to living will create an issue in the next presidential campaign, according to leading authorities in both the democratic and republican parties.
 There will probably be no well defined means of remedying the situation which one party will support and the other will oppose, but according to best judgment the people, in hope of alleviating their burden, will wipe out of existence that organization which they believe respon- sible.
 So well is the situation realized, that both parties, through their representatives in Congress, and their leaders in coun- Gil, are rapidly preparing. The President, one of the wiliest politicians of his day. has already played what his advisers and followers believe to be the very strongest card. He held the republicans Tn session, forced them to work for the people, after they had agreed to adjourn
 The republicans will go to the country declaring that democrats were so extrav- agant that it became necessary to in- crease the burden of taxation; that they were so incompetent that pnoffteers throughout. the country were permitted unmolested to ply their nefarious trade. They will have facts and figures in part to sustain their argument
 The democrats, in turn will point to the war as the cause of all the trouble. The people know, of course, that war is the most expensive pastiine, and that during the years of war unpatriotic citizens are generally able to oppress those already too heavily oppressed.
 And then the Presidents card will be played. It will be explained that the re- publicans, promising relief came to Con- gress in a majority, and that as soon as they were tired they resolved to quit and go home. without having achieved Then President Wilson ordered them to return to their tasks, and they returned though against their will.
 The republicans, in the event anything is accomplished, will claim credit for hav- ing accomplished it. But the people will know that but for the action of the Pres ident they would have returned to their districts and there proceeded to beIabor democrats.
 President Wilson iSpreparing to turn all agencies of the government against the profiteers of the nation. He is actuated by desire to alleviate the insufferable burden of the people. But at the same time he is playing mighty good politics, his advisers contend.
 The republicans knowing that fact can do nothing save writhe and gnash their teeth. They were caught in the prettiest trap that has ever been laid since the inception of the Wilson admins tration.

REPUBLICANS IN SEVENTH

Washington. August 6.-(Special)-It is reported in Washington that the repub- are making their fight against the demo- cratic nominee, Captain Rainey, with the league of nations as the issue.
 It is understood that the republicans were preparing to nominate a strong man of Gadsden, and that they asked him his position on the league. He is said to have replied that he had not fully made up his mind, but that he thought in the end he would favor it. This caused the republicans to abandon him, and take up another.
 It is understood that the republicans are circulating in the Seventh the speech that Senator Reed made in Birmingham.

ALABAMA KEPT WITHIN INCOME LAST YEAR

Washington, August 6.-(Special) } While there might be need in Alabama for more revenue for the maintenance Of the state government, it happens, nev- ertheless, that Alabama, in 1918, operated at profit; that is, the expenses of gov ernment were not as great as the reve- nue.
 According to the publication of the cen sus bureau. soon to be available 30 states were equally as fortunate last year, while the remaining IS fell short. Alabama was not one of those which had surpluses of s1,000000. But it showed a profit, just the same.
 Connecticut fared better than any other
