CRITTCIZES ACTS
OF u. s. ATTORNEY
Too Lenient With Bootleggers,
Says Dry Chief

JACKSON. Miss, May. 16.-Criti-
cism of the official conduct of L. e.
Oldham, United States district attorney
for the northern district of Mississippi,
is contained in the report for the
month of April submitted to Prohibit
ton Director NJ. H. Daley by e. s.
Chapman, chief prohibition enforce
ment officer for Mississippi.
The report states that in April two
court terms were held in the northern
district, at Oxford and Aberdeen. At
the latter term IL convictions were OBJ
tanned on evidence submitted by pro-
hibition agents and only few peni-
tertiary sentences imposed. The other
defendants being fined from $40 to
500 ON recommendations of the dis
trict attorney. At the Oxford term
nine convictions for liquor law viola
tons were obtained and not a single
Jail or penitentiary sentence imposed.
j. Chapman criticized Mr.. Oldham for
compromising with liquor law violators
who agree to enter pleas of guilty and
pay small fines. He cited several cases
dOcketed in the Clarksdale division of
the northern district where alleged
bootIeggers from Tallahatchie county
were under indictment and notwith-
standing the insistence of county Off
GERS that the cases be vigorously pros
ecuted, the defendants were discharged
upon payment of nominal fines.

CLAIMS KEROSENE.
PARTLY GASOLINE
Man Wants $4,000 For
Wife's Death In
Explosion
Estate Capital Bureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala. May TO-
Taking of testimony in the suit by j.
ID. Jinwright. Pike county, as executor
against the Gulf Refining company of
Louisiana for $4,000 for the death of
his wife, said. to have been caused Nby
the explosion of adulterated kerosene
sold by the refining company, began
in federal court here this morning and
promises to run into the first of next
/ week, SO large is the number of wit
nesses.
Jinwright, in his suit, alleges that
he purchased from a dealer in his COM
| munity a certain amount of kerosene
with which to light his home. This
kerosene was sold to the storekeeper
BY the defending company. He al
leges that the kerosene contained more
than 10 per cent of gasoline or other
high inflammable fluid and that as
result of the inflammability his wife was
killed by an explosion when she at
tempted to fill and light lamp. The
accident is said to have occurred on
September 81, 1922.
Witnesses heard today, testified to
having noticed the explosive qualities
of the kerosene after the accident. On
cross examination, they admitted having
used the kerosene for several days
without being injured.
Specimens of kerosene sent to local
chemists and the state chemist at Au-
burn were analysed and showed con-
tent of gasoline but the defense counsel
maintains that the kerosene, so sent,
was not a fair sample of the kerosene
sold by defending company.
The plaintiff had not completed the
introduction Of testimony at the re-
cess tonight. The firm of Hill, Hill,
Whiting & Thomas representing the
plaintiff with Judge b. P. Crum, of
Steiner, Crum & We'll, Montgomery, and
United States District Attorney Thomas
B. Sanford defending.
A feature Of the case is that there
was no statute in Alabama covering the
flash and burning points of kerosene
at the time of the accident.
i The case was transferred to United
States court from the state courts be-
cause the defending company is nom
resident.

Though some may call you mad.
We need you, Mr.. Rosevelto,


I'VE need you, Mr.. Roosevelt, =
Though some may call you mad.
We need you, Mr.. Rosevelto,
And we need you bad"
TWELVE years ago in Chicago this
was tn efavorite refrain of the
= Roosevelt rooters. With a dra-
matte flourish Teddy had thrown his
hat in the ring and it was being ironed
flat by the national committees steam
roller, according to the anti-Taft crowd
that shouted and cheered and sang in
a frenzy Of indignation. The republi-
can convention of 1912 will be recalled
as one of the most sullen, ugly, ill-tem-
pered assemblages known to national
politics.
During the course of a particularly
tempestuous interchange of civilities,
when the police were called upon to
separate delegates who had come to
blows, William j.. Bryan turned to a
companion in the press box and re-
marked with dry smile: "If you
didn't know where you were you might
think you were in a democratic conven-
ton" Near the close, after the path
had been smoothed for the nomination
of Taft, negro delegate moved that
"the steam roller was exceeding the
speed limit" Chairman Elihu Root
had quick retort in the suggestion that
speed was necessary unless the dele
gates wished to remain in Chicago over
Sunday. Such moments of lightness,
however, were rarity.
The bitterness which eliminated in
an intense display of luminosity had
been brewing through the preceding
months during which Taft had violated
presidential precedent by taking the

side of the case to the people The
fight conferred on the recognition Of
delegates. As one STATE after another
was awarded to Taft men, the Roosevelt
partisans became more incensed and de-
termined. There. was no mincing of
words. When Root attempted to speak
at the opening of the convention he was
booed and jeered for fifteen minutes.
The name of Taft met similar re-
ception and only the constant vigilance
of the police force averted panic.
In this hectic turmoil it is not strange
that rumors of plot by Roosevelt
men to seize the Coliseum by force
were credited; whereas opponents of
Taft were equally apprehensive of il
legal methods. Every, hour brought
new charges of bribery. - When Roose-

Four days of the convention were
consumed in considering the charges
made by Roosevelt against the roll. be-
fore the hard-hitting colonel realized
that he might as well remove. his hat
from that particular ring. His repre-
sentatives withdrew from the creden-
tials committee and there was a quick
rallying of delegates at campaign head
quarters in the Congress hotel, where
the progressive party was conceived.
