Yesterday Judge Springer re-
voked his order regarding the
hearing of civil cases at Musko-
gee on and after March22. This
has been made necessary on ac-
count of the failure of Congress
to pass the judgeship bill and
also the failure of the president
to sign the Indian appropria-
tior bill.
There are n great number of
cases on the docket and unless
some provisions are made by
Congress they are likely to re-
main where they are at.
The criminal cases alone are
sufficient to consume the entire
attention of the court during
the re. liar session. There are
many important civil cases
pending which ought to be set
tied. but without assistance
they will have to be continued
from time to time, as criminal
! cases take precedence.
A speedy treaty between the
the Creeks and Cherokees and
and the Dawes commission now
IS the only prospect for relief,
and that will come slow enough,

1T IS BAILEY.
with One Exception. the Youngest Man
Ever Chosen for Speaker
by Democrats.


democratic members of the
house today nominated Joseph
w. Bailey of Texas for speak
er. Although the election was
of no significance, eXceptin rec
ognizing the nominee as the
minority leader, there was quite
spirited contest for the nomi-
nation. There were los votes
in the caucus.
J. ID. Richardson, who had
been a candidate for speaker,
Withdrew. He was elected chair
man of the cacus.
Mr.. Bailey was placed in
nomination by Mr.. Sayers of
Texas, Benton McAIillin of
Tennessee by Mr.. Mcguire of
California and Richard p.
Bland by Mr.. Terry of Arkan-
sas. Several speeches second
ing the nominations were
made.
On roll call the vote stood:
Bailey 56, McMillin 80, Bland
%.
The nomination was made
unanimous, then Mr.. Bailey
was escorted to the hall, and,
after thanking the caucus for
the honor, said:
Il fully realize that the posi-
ton to which your favor has
assigned me is difficult one
and that it will tax all my fac
ulties to properly meet its re-
sponsibilities. Not only so, but
even when | have done my
best, after / have tried my ut
} most patience and industry and
have applied myself with the
greatest diligence, ! still must
fail unless | can have the unit
ed and cordial support of my
party. If my failure affected
me alone ] would not appeal to
my closest friends for their as
sistance, for, having sought the
place, | would perform its du-
ties to the best of my ability
and leave the consequences to
take care of themselves. But,
knowing as | do that the inter
ests of the party are involved, ]
do not hesitate to call upon
every man assembled here to
do all in his power toward pro-
ducing and preserving that har-
mony and cooperation which i
so essential to democratic sue
cess. The democratic party
has a right to eXpect-indeed, i,
has a right to demand-that
whatever antagonisms may
have beeu engendered by this
contest among ourselves shall
stand adjourned until we agaiT
meet to nominate candidates
and that we shall not waste il

THE ALDERMEN EXPECTED
TO GIVE RELIEF

THE people are expecting the board of
aldermen to give elhem relief. They are
expecting the special committee appoint
ed to investigate THE question to start
the ball 10 rolling in this direction.
In regard to this matter, w. r. Gum,
president of the Ellis Drug company,
said: 1.-THE fight that is being made en-
THE gas company is "a just one, and the
board of aldermen should take some inn
mediate steps toward lowering the price"
Simon Klotz: Gas can surely be fur
nisiled itle citizens of Birmingham at
mulch cheaper rate than is now being
charged. The gas company should real
ize by this time that the people are i'm
earnest in their demands for cheaper
gas. and L am firmly convinced that it
will soon do the square thing and give
us dollar gas
Jake NTinisunan: From all the facts
and figures 1 have seen, the people of
Birmingham are entitled to cheaper and
better gas than we are now gstting."
The people are very much in earnest
on this question. Nothing has so thor
oughly aroused them in many years
The committee cannot submit a neport
before the next meeting of the city coun-
eli. line Ps0ple VIII De olSdppointeu II
the matter is allowed to go over longer
than ahis meeting.
The board may act at once on the re-
port and it may not. The committee
should have its report in ali the next
meeting.
The committee may go into The ques-
ton of the poor qualify of gas furnished
to consumers.
This is violation of the cont 1act. The
committee was appointed to find where
in the company has Violated lis contract.
This charge can be sustained. 1t should
be investigated
Chairman Moore was OUT of the city
Yesterday. None of the other members
knew when a meeting would be callsd
and would no. say positively whether
the question of the poor quality of gas
would be considered.
