Alabama took the lead in the fight against alleged usurpation of power given the states when Horace Wilkinson, as- sistant attorney general, during the ab- sence of J. c. Smith attorney general, drew up a bill of injunction. By auto- mobile Mir Wilkinson went to Prattyille, where Judge McCord is conducting court. After hurried but careful perusal of the bill Judge McCord wrote his signature to the injunction which will prohibit the enforcement of the rates until the case has been heard when the case asking for permanent injunction is heard.
 The assistant attorney general made a race in the automobile to get the in- junction granted before the arrival of Ed Smith, Southern Bell attorney, from Birmingham. Mir. Smith, who is the chief attorney for the corporation in Alabama. asked MT. Wilkinson to postpone filing of the petition until his arrival. It was expected MT. Smith would arrive in Mont gomery during the night to make an ef- fort to combat the argument of the at- torney generals department.
 PUTS STATE IN LEAD
 Granting of the injunction against the company places Alabama in the lead so
 
 exchanges is concerned. No other state Monday afternoon had asked for an in junction to restrain the enforcement of the new local rates on May 1.
 The attorney general late Monday had not been informed of the states right" victory of his assistant. MT. Smith is in Chicago, attending a conference of at- torneys, who are preparing briefs in an- other case which will test the authority of the postmaster general in the recent increasing of long distance rates. The conference also will draw up briefs to support the claims of several states that the director general of railroads has no authority to increase intrastate rates.
 Judge McCord indicated to the assist ant attoney general he would hear the arguments for q permanent injunction at any time it is agreeable with the com pany. Arguments probably will be heard next week. In the meantime the com pany cannot increase the local phone rates one cent.

efforts of the Postmaster General and corporations in Alabama to increase rates in the state without first having a full and frank discussion of the mat ter before the commission. In every case the commission has refused to approve rates as promulgated by the Postmaster General.
 Judge McCord several weeks ago re- fused to grant an injunction against the Postmaster General and the telephone company restraining the enforcement of increased long distance tolls. This pe- tition was for a permanent injunction. The same case was decided adversely by Chief Justice John c. Anderson, of the Alabama supreme court The so-cailed long distance case is now before the Ala bama supreme court for hearing two weeks later.
 NO TIME LOST
 The Public Service commission lost no time in starting it's opposition to the rates as shown in the documents filed Saturday. It was seen that rates in Mo bile were increased from $4 to $550 for business phones, and that sixty-one towns and cities throughout the state were affected by the so-called 'readjust- ment."
 Believing that the rates first should be approved by the commission, all members
  request of B. H. Cooper, associate mem Der, wrote the attorneys generals de- partment, asking that action be taken against the new rates. Before this let ter had been delivered Horace Wilkin- son, assistant attorney general, had giv- en the matter careful study and was prepared to ask for the temporary in junction.
 Samuel F. Kennedy, president of the commission, is spending several days at Fort Worth, Tex. The matter was brought to his attention by telegram and he approved the action of the attor1ey generals department.
 Not only was the Public service com- mission very much interested in the case, but Governor Thomas E, Kilby conferred with officials before the writ of injunction was asked for.
 MT Wilkinson Monday said the in- junction, whether temporary or perma- nent, will save telephone patrons in Aia- bama thousands of dollars.
 If the injunction is made permanent the case will be appealed to the Alabama supreme court by the telephone company.

The former Governor inferentially
serves notice in his statement that,
if he considers that he is cheated in
the general election and fails to get
justice at the hands of the state
board of canvassers, he will appeal to
the Congress, "where men Of both
parties, who have no personal or po-
litical prejudice against men, can

News and Courier.
Columbia, July 29.-Advising all
his factional followers in the Seventh
Congressional District to abstain
from participating in the primary
elections called today by the State
Democratic executive committee to
select nominee for the unexpired
term in congress made vacant by the
resignation of Congressman A. F.
Lever, former Governor Cole L.
Blease, in a lengthy statement given
out tonight, unqaulifiedly announced
himself as a candidate for congress
man in the general election. He
gives as his reason for refusal to go
into the primary elections under the
rules of the Democratic party the al
legation that previous primary cleo
tions have been corrupted and the
votes stolen and that he could not be
expected to be declared the nominee
by the executive committee even if
he won.
His statement is replete with
charges that he was defrauded in the
election of 1914, when he was can
didate for the United States Senate
against Senator E. D. Smith, and in
1918, when he was defeated for a
third term for governor by Governor
Manning, stating that the Reform
ers' have been treated worse than
negroes. The statement continues:

suffering agony afterwards. I never
enjoyed a meal during all that time
and I was as nervous as l could be
and could not bear any noise or ex-
citement. l got so weak I was not
able to do anything around the house
and fell off in weight until I weighed
only 95 pounds. l tried everything
/ ever heard of and had all sorts of
treatment, but nothing did me bit
of good and l just kept on getting
worse and worse until l began on
Tanlac.
81 was convinced that this medi-
cine would help me after / had read
about and known of so many people
who had been helped by this medi-
cine and it certainly has done me a
world of good. My appetite is splen-

want without the least bit of suffer
ing and / am as strong and healthy
as ever I want to be. I now do all
my house work and feel fine and

No Apology for War Record.

No Apology for War Record.
Relative to his position on the
world war, the former governor said
81 was opposed to the war just tenn
pcrarily suspended and have no 'apol-
ogy or excuse therefor. Hear the
statements being made by our boys
that went over to fight for humanity
and democracy and let every man
in the State talk to some of the boys
as to whom they fought, whom they
fought for and what kind of treat
ment they received from their own
as we'll as other folks while over
there. Yes, over there, and then ask
himself this question: Was Blease
right in his Filbert and Pomaria
speeches? and answer truly, and then
say if he was right in wanting to
lynch Blease for being on Gods side,
for peace and against the slaughter
ing of humanity"
Mr.. Blease says those who have
watched events know that he is in
better position to do service for
South Carolina and the Seventh Con-
gressional District than any man in
it, if service is wanted. The state
ment says that the former governor
is opposed to the destruction of
States rights, to the league of ma
tions with conditions as by the pres
ent plan, to national prohibition and
to national woman's suffrage, taking
the position that the last two ques-
tions should be settled by the States
individually. He further states that
he is in favor of local self-govern-
ment, in favor of the Monroe Doc
trine and opposed to any alteration
in it under the present conditions; in
favor of the return of the railroads,
telephone and telegraph and all other
property to their rightful owners and
requiring of them efficient and
prompt service; in favor of religious
freedom and opposed to any attempt
to give any legal advantage to any
creed over the others and opposed to
placing any in control of this govern
ment and giving to it larger number
of officers than that Of the others, !"
In quoting with approval an ex-
cerpt from Thomas Jefferson's writ
ings which opposes large standing
army, Mr.. Blease says that the war
has certainly shown our people what
military power did do, can do and
will do, if not properly curbed; and
l could mention much, but as Gener-
al March and Col. Ansell now have
the floor I will await their report and
let the world judge as to what has
, been done, and the fraud, injustice
and inhumanity that has been prac-
ticed under the name of fighting fol-
the world peace and democracy"
Denies He Is Bolter.
According to Mr.. Blease's reason.
ing in his appeal to his followers to
disregard the primary elections, they
cannot be called "bolters," from the
Democratic party or Independents, u
for, he says, "If we 60 into the pri.
mary we are bound by it under the

Mob Attacks Hospital.
The body of negro who had been
shot to death and burned was found
tonight in the west side Italian dis
trict, when the police responded to a
riot call. He had been stabbed also
and gasoline poured over his body
and set fire. A mob of whites at
tackled the Provident Hospital. an in
stitution for negroes, tonight and in
the shooting that followed one negro
was probably fatally wounded and
two policemen, one white and about
six other persons were wounded,
when the mob surrounded the hos
pital in attempt to enter the building
was beaten off by policemen.
Blamed on Politicians.
Exploitation of the negro by poll
ticians is believed by many public Of
ficials and students of civic condi-
tions in Chicago to be largely re-
sponsible for the riots.
Chicago's negro population today
is estimated at 125, 900 to 100000 of
which about 100000 reside on the
South side in the district bounded by
22nd and 51st streets and the Chica-
20 river and Lake Michigan. The
heart of the "black belt" is located
in the second ward which is repre-
sented in the city council by two ne
gro aldermen and has a registered
vote of 10000 negroes.
There are also negro settlements
in the west and north sides. During
the war when labor was scarce in the
north there was large influx of ne
groes to Chicago from Southern
states. 1t is estimated that since
1916 about $4,000 negroes came to
Chicago to live, many obtaining
work with large packing firms at the
Union Stock Yards.
Soon after the negroes began ar
irving in the city in large numbers
the housing facilities in the "black
belt" were found to be inadequate
and the older residents with means
began moving into adjacent neigh
borhoods populated entirely by the
whites. AS a result of this invasion
considerable race prejudice was en-
gendered.
During the few past months the
race prejudice in these sections be-
came so acute that half a dozen
bombs were exploded in front of
houses occupied by negroes.
One of the most serious riots of
the day occurred in the Cook county
Jail when 100 negro prisoners exer-
cising outside their cells, overpower-
ed negro guard and raced into the
exercise room of the white prisoners
where there was between 600 and
700 men. When the negroes burst in
there was an instant clash. The reg
ular force of guards was unable to
control the fighters and SO locked
the doors and appealed for aid. The
prisoners fought for an hour before
they were beaten into submission
with clubs. Several of the negro
prisoners, it was reported, carried
knives and number of white prison
ers are said to have been seriously
| wounded.
An attorney who was conferring
with a prisoner when the fight be-
gan, narrowly escaped being tram
pied to death. He was finally res

Splendid Fossil Collection.

Smithsonian institution has been
enriched by ton and half of speci-
mems taken during the last summer
from the Burgess Pass fossil quarry In
British Columbia, which was discov-
cred less than ten years ago. The
work was done mainly by Secretary
Wolcott of the institution, and his wife.
In two months section of the quarry
$50 feet square was taken out, practi-
cally exhausting the site which has
yielded some of the finest specimens
of middle Cambrian fossils yet dis
covered and the finest invertebrate fOs-
sls yet found in any formation. Large
blocks of hard shale were first blasted
bose, than carefully split with ehisel
and hammer to expose any fossil re-
mains between the laminae. The shale
has preserved for some twenty million
years animals that were as soft and
nonresistant as jellyiish. worms, crabs,
etc, Notwithstanding all the vicissi-
tudes these rocks have since under
gene from the time they We're simply
hardened mud. They have been sub
jected to much pressure and profound
chemical change, but the fossils re-
main perfect.
