 Long Attacks Press
 Speaking on question of personal privilege s in the house today Repre- sentative J. Lee Long took exception to the editorials of the Birmingham Age Herald, Mobile Register and other newspapers in oppesition to the bill providing for the election of county superintendents of education and charge of interrogative state ment that the two owners of the Birmingham Age Herald now have ambition tC represent the state in va rious political and public capacities.H
 MT. Long referred particularly to an editorial in a Birmingham after noon paper which called the legisla ture small political demagogues." He asked if it can be true that the educational machine is seeking to Tammany the state, that the state superintendent has 67 agents to whom he can convey information and that the 67 agents have sub-agents to do .he bidding of the machine"
 Can it be true that this education al machine is controlling the daily newspapers?' asked Mr. Long. Can it be true that the two owners of the Birmingham Age-Herald now have ambition to represent the state in va riGus political and public capacities?
 Cant we come here and do what we think is right and proper without being belittled by this machine and by those newspapers controlled by the machine?"
 Discusses School Funds
 Mir. Long then went into a discus sion of funds by the educational de- partment. He mentioned that s1,990.92 had been paid yearly as sal ary to the executive officers of the board of education and that investi- gation developed the fact that the ex- ecutive office is Dr. J. W. Abercrom- bic, state superintendent of educa- tion.
 In closing his address, MT. Long said his conscience would not permit him to "sit supinely by and have these newspapers. instigated by this machine, belittle the members of this house."
 Representative Goodwin of Mont- gomery replied to MT. Long and de- tended the educational department and it's use of educational funds He said the department had compiled with the law and that pr. Abercrom- bic had received a salary of $2,000 a year for extra duties imposed by the educational laws, salary which was created before he became super intendent of education and which was paid to his predecessor without pro- test.
 Representative Goodwin said he would not make the statement except for his belief that all people should understand the funds of the depart ment have been handled in accord ,ance with law

CLAIMS MONEY

One of the living victims of Blue beard" Landru is the landlord of the villa at Gambrais, from which so many 'would-be brides vanished. He is trying now to obtain compensation for the losses he sustained through the case. Not only was the villa placed under seal so that it was inl- possible to rent it for years, repre- senting great loss in these days when everything habitable rents at fancy rates, but the seals were re- moved by the legal authorities with out his being advised, so that the villa was left unprotected for weeks. In that time the souvenir hunters worked their will on the place. Door handles windows, plants and pieces of furniture disappeared to such an extent that Auguste Trio, the land lord. has put in a claim for 45,000 francs to cover his multifarious losses.

BARTON HAS r FOUND
 GRANDMOTHER IF. ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Chicago Minister Claims His torianS Have Been Deceived About Ancestors of War
 President

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-In delving aft CT knowledge relative to the ma ternal grandmother of Abraham Lin- coln, Rev. Willing E. Barton, pas tor of the First Congregational church of Oak Park, Chicago suburb, the author of numerous books, one of which was on Lincoln, states that he has found data which defi- nitely identify Lincoln's paternal grandmother, known among histori- ans as "Lincoln's lost grandmother"
 Rev. Barton states in his paper, which he read to an invited audi ence of scholars. historians, judges and theologians here today, that he realizes that he is disputng eminent authorities and declaring distin- guished writers on the subject to be in error.
 All the biographies of Abraham Lincoln are incorrect as to his pa ternal grandmother" he said. She was not Mary Shipley. as Nicolay and Hay, on the authority of J. R. Hall, have told us; nor was she of the Boone family, as Gideon Wells, Lin coln's Secretary of War. maintained. Nor was the pioneer Abraham Lin- coin twice married, once to Mary Shpfey, mother or HIS two eiutSl sons, and later to Bathsheba Har- ring, mother of Thomas.
 Omitted Brides Name
 "The marriage license of Virginia sometimes gave the name of the groom and omitted that of the bride. So was it with the record of Abra- ham Lincoln, the Presidents grand. father His license to marry was issued in Rockingham county. Vir- ginia, June g, 1770, and the bride is not named. When Abraham Lincoln was selling his farm in Virginia, February IS. 17S0. preparatory to re- moval to Kentucky, his wife, Beth sheba, signed the deed, and on Sep tember 8. 1871. relinquished her dow CT rights. It has been supposed that Bethsheba was "a second wife. Mary Shipley being the first. Then. when it was found that this could not be, it was supposed that Beth sheba died in 17S1 and Abraham Lincoln married Mary Shipley as his second wife. Last summer, in a pile of old tax lists, in the basement of the old capitol at Frankfort, the secretary of the Kentucky histor- cal society discovered list of Wash ington county for 1795 which shows that Bethsheba Lincoln survived her husband.

NOTED PICTURE SOLD

The Paris press has been full of regrets the past week that one of Manet's most celebrated pictures, Bon Book" has been acquired by an American collector and would soon join the many Manets already in the United States. This report is now stated by LOeuvre to have been premature. The picture in question, which has been the property of a German, Edouard Arnhold, since 1908, has been sold for higher price than was paid for Millets "Ange- ius''-over 1,000,o00 francs-5ut the buyer is French dealer and the gov ernment has decided to exercise it's right to classify Manet's picture as an art object of interest to the na- tional patrimony. Paul Rosenberg, the dealer who now owns the picture, las received notification of the gov ernments intention to issue the nec- essary decree for this classification. which will prevent the picture leav- ing France. An effort has already been begun to acquire the picture for the Louvre.
 After having been a sensation in the salon of 1872 Bon Boclx' was bought by Gabriel Faure, the singer. for 60,000 francs. The father of the present dealer bought the Faure col lection, which contained 25 fine Manets. He showed the collection in America and England without find ing a purchaser fer Bon Book" at 200,000 francs. The German banker, Arnhold bought it in Germany for l25,000 francs. It is understood Rosenberg gave 100000 francs for,it.
