Gadsden. April Special. )-Former Gov. Emmet oNeal replied to the at tacks made upon him by Congressman J. Thomas Heflm and made stirring speech in behalf of his own candidacy for the United States Senate at the court house here last night. Referring to Mr. Heflin, he said:
 MT. Heflin, by the billingsgate when has marked his utterances about me at Tuscaloosa, save the people of Alabama a clear exhibition of those characteris- ties and tht insufferable vanity that long since earned him the contempt and Dit ter hostility of many of his colleagues in Congress.
 He is the same congressman that stood on the floor of Congress and per- sonally charged that fourteen of his col. leagues had sold their honor for German gold, and when from almost every mem Der of Congress during it's session came the imperative demand that he name the guilty men, make good his oharges or suffer the disgrace of expulsion, he was shamefully compelled to rise Tn hls seat and confess that he had no proof but the foul suspicious of his own envious heart There was not a man in Alabama that did not suffer pang of shame at the Knowledge of the fact that Ala banna congressman had attempted to as- Sassinate the character or his own col- leagues without one scintilla of proof or evidence, except based on unfounded sus- picion.
 Tt is therefore not surprising that this same man should charge that my campaign was financed by the brewers, and when in answer to my challenge to either establish his statement or stand confessed before the people of Alabama as a slanderer and fatsifier, that he should adopt the same old tactics of eva sion and equivocation, and shaInelessly crawfish by saying that the appearance of full-page advertisements of my plat form in several daily papers was the basis of his charge that special interests were paying my campaign expenses. MT. Heflin says he only spoke what was in the minds of everyone ELS to who was paying my campaign expenses. Does he believe that his desire to win votes by traducing my character can justify him in giving utterance to every bit of idle gossip and loose tongue rumor which envy, malice or falsehood may suggest or invent?
 Tt would seem that the sobriquet of Cotton Tom intended as a jest is mis-

 GIRL s MURDERER
Body Found on Porch of
 House in Fine Residen- tial Section
By Associated Press

Pontiac, Mich, April 25.-rne police and sheriffs departments and a detail from the Detroit detective bureau were tonight engaged in the investigation of the death early today of Miss Vera Schneider, d telephone supervisor, whose body was found on the porch Of dwelling in one os the city's best residential sections
 The girl who was 20-years cid, appar- ently had been crooked to death. accord ing to the authorities. The ground sur rounding the porch was torn up in places, indicating a terrific struggle. The offi- cers had been unable so far. they said to develop any clue ss to the identity of the assailant.
 Bloodhounds will be brought here to- morrow. to follow what was believed to be the tracks of the slayer across newi, plowed ground in the rear of the house, which is under construction and unoc- cupied.
 Miss Schneider. according to some of Ter friends. worked until late last. night and was seen in the company of a strange man about midnight. Since com ing here last August from Elkton, Mich, she had seldom been seen with male conlpanions it was said.

from his custody and put to death by a mob. Under this provision every sheriff who had subsequently, per mitted a person in hss custody to be executed by mob has 5een properly inn peached before the supreme court of. Alabama and removed from office. This amendment to the constitution was passed without any dissenting votes, and if MT Heflin then favored mob law, why did he not indicate il by his refusal to vote for that pro- vision? Why did he stump the state ip favor of the constitution and urge the people to ratify it with provi- sion which tended to end mob law in Alabama? Why did he wait eighteen years until he became a candidate for the Senate before notifying the peo- rle of Alabama that he favored lynch law? Seeking to initiate Cole Blease ct South Carolina by his advocacy of mob violencei I would remind him that the people of that state retired that gentleman to private life and that by advocating the same policies he will meet the same fate in Alabama.
 ''The people of Alabama will never elect to the Senate candidate who advocates tkat organ-zed society shall commit to lawless and Irresponsible mobs the enforcement of our crim inal laws-mobs that ignore all rules Of law and evidence and are governed solely by their changing and tickle moods, their passions and lust for vengeance
 MT Hef1in says the people of Ala bama will never elect referee in bankruptcy to the Senate Everyone with the sentiment of Con- gress knows that a majority of his regard him as joke and a mounteSank. and a man who has established such reputation after sixteen years of service in that body will never be selected to fill the seat honored by Morgan.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Corn trading broad
ened out noticeably in volume today owing
to withdrawal Of a rule which during the
last 10 months has required that any indi-
vidual interest in deliveries further off
than the current month should not ex-
ceed 100000 bushels. Business consisted
largely Of spreads and simultaneous buy
ing OF May and selling of July. Closing
prices were. firm at the same as yester-
days finish to &c higher, with May.
$1.35M to S1.3s and July. $1,000 to
$1.31. Oats finished nc off to &c ad-
vance. Provisions scored net gains OF
12c to 17c.
Loosening Of restrictions on the corn
trade was looked upon in some quarters
as likely to have a bearish influence. The
fact, however, that receipts continued
light and that no big accumulation at
terminal points was now expected put all
other consideration nearly out of sight
Although price changes were more lively
than has of late been the rule, the
tendency Of the market most of the time
was upwards. especially for the nearby
months. Closing prices were at the top
level of the session.
Profit taking sales on all bulges pre-
vented the oats market from showing
much sympathy with corn strength.
Higher quotations on hogs gave lift
to provisions.
