wILkINsoN's STATEMENT

Judge Horace c. Wilkinson made the following statement last night on his return to Birmingham from Hamilton:
 The mistrial in the Lancaster case will only cause the state to double it's efforts to have justice meted out to those believed to be guilty. This is not the first famous case that has resulted in mistrial at it's initial hearing.
 The sentiment that these men should be turned loose regardless of their guilt or innocence, simply be- cause they were soldiers, is gradually subsiding. The state does not want them convicted because they were sol diers, neither does it want them ac- auitted simply on account of the uni form they had the honor to wear
 The defense found that the stall wart citizenship of Marion county could not be prevailed upon to ac- cept a uniform as complete defense tc q charge of crime.
 The propaganda agency maintained by the friends of the accused from Tuscaloosa failed to accomplish it's purpose. When lynching occurred in Baldwin county two years ago. the good people of that county held a mass meeting adn raised funds to have the matter unearthed. For the first time in the history of the state some of the substantial citizenship of Tuscaloosa seem to be openly indorsing mob law, sc long as soldiers composed the mob.
 "A great bundle of the tuscaloosa Times reached Hamilton each day for free distribution as part of the prooa- ganda put out in behalf of the accused. A negro official of the mine workers union was summoned as a witness and never used, but kept at court, and pointed out by friends of the accused as union leader to prejudice the states case, as if the state was espousing the cause of the union.
 Riders constantly visited each beat in the county to feel the pulse of the public and circulated many vicious and slanderous rumors, but with all that, Marion county did herself proud, and on the next trial. the state will feel more confident than ever.
 T shall leave for Montgomery to- day for a conference with the goyer- nor and the new attorney general, and after my return our efforts to bring the guilty to justice will be continued.
 While I have received much mem tion in the press in connection with this case, want to say that Solicitor Pennington has been of invaluable s. sistance. He is a wheelhorse in the prosecution and made an argument while suffering with high fever that was credit to an. lawyer. The state Is fortunate in having such an able solicitor on it's staff of officials"

"a meeting of the committee without knowledge of the purpose or the dan der involved. Senator's Wolcott and Jones. members of the committee who joined MT. Love, bore out the opinion of Senator Harrison. Unless the re- quest is dropped, it is likely that they will withdraw their names.
 Two democratic war horses in tho houses, Representative Clark of Mis- souri and Flood of Virginia, expressed themselves formally and at length They admitted a vision of the friends of McAdoo endeavoring to un3 eat Chairman George White because it was at the instigation of Governor Cox that the chairman was chosen They argued that there was no need of gathering of committee that the record of the party for submission in the congressional elections, two years hepce, must be made in the House and that for preparation for the presidential campaign, an abundance of time remained.
 It was regarded as unusually sig jnificant of the underlying motive of the Love maneuver that the Willy Texan in his address to Chairman White reminded him of his expressed to retire following the election. Representative Flood refer ring to that suggestion, declared that MT. White was engaged in collecting funds for the elimination of the cam paign debt and would not retire until that work was completed
 The statements of congressman uni formly conveyed the opinion that no one could have led the democrats to victory last November and that no good could possibly be conserved by meeting of the committee in March. Senator Underwood of Alabama demo, cratic leader of the Senate, thinks tho Love suggestion the child of folly, lut declined to make formal statement

Tuscaloosa Women Pay Taxes

tuscaloosa, February 7.-(Special )-Tax Collector S. D. McGee reports that 1O3z women paid their poll taxes in Tusca- loosa, which practically covers the ground for those who registered under the age of 45. Tuscaloosa citizens are particularly proud of this showing, as al- though there were something like 2,VO to register, it is to be recalled that above the age of 45 three women in this county registered over 80 years of age. Mir Nc Gee was called to Hamilton before hav- ing time to check this up and it was not known until his return to the city.

CAN LIVE CHEAPLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for Serv-
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti.
There is a hotel in Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
81 day for room and three square
meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient washbowl, and unlockable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the United States
at double the price. Luncheon is a
regular dinner and dinner is much like
an eight-course feast.
+ They never serve less than two or
three meats, when one, according to
the American habit, would be enough.
There is fruit In abundance in Haiti,
and a boy standing on the front porch,
overlooking the sea. often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorite dish is the chicken,
served 1856 days In the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants to see a chicken after staying
three weeks In Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on a guest for q meals. beams his
delight when tipped 8 gourdes, which
Is 60 cents. The maid, whose chief
duty is to spread the mosquito net
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
a man extra towels for gourdes
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti, If there were laundries. There
Is much to go out from each room
daily to washerwomen. and it comes
back spick and span at nominal cost.
But Haiti has not reached the point
where it may bid for tourist travel.
A man, stopping at the best hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
Is conducted to a little house 80 feet
away, where he may get shower.
It's q hard life for women
The best, however, is In sharp con-
trast with the worst, for the laborer
gets 20 cents day, and thousands
of natives live only on fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, like
the roses.
