New Senate Committees

Montgomery November 17.-(Spec.al)- President of the Senate Cunningham was seen this afternoon and asked what was the meaning of the three new committees reported by the committete on rules and adopted by the senate this morning. He replied:
 Experience has shown that the most im- portant prerequisite of safe and proper leg islat,on is thorough examination of bills by committees. If these do not have the time and opportunity to thoroughly examine the bills introduced in the senate not only dangerous and vicious legislation may re- suit, but the best measures may be defeated because of a want of proper consideration Heretofore, nearly one half of the w~lk has devolred upon the jud cia"y co 1nit.ote. tt has been anticipated that there would be a large number of amendments of the code offered, as is always the case after a new code is adopted. Besides, most of the leg islation necessarily comes under the con- sideration of the judiciary committete. The committee rev sion of laws was estab- lished to relieve in part the great work of the judiciary committete. In fact it is a judiciary committete Mo- g. The senate will get better service from two committees than from one.
 The committee on constitution, oonstitu- ton revision and amendment was estab- lished and given the dignity of standing committee, because or the great lmpOr- tance of the subject of a constitutional convention. You will notice that the com mittee is so named that it will take into consideration the present constitution, its revision or amendment. If the present or ganic law is satisfactory, then nothing should be done If it is to be revised, then there must b a conventions; If it is capable of amendment, then that can be done. In fact, we want to know what is best, how to do it, and the will of the people in the matter. It is an issue in the state and should be boldly and fearlessly settled. To this committee memorials, resolutions, pe- titions, etc., may be referred and fully considered. Under existing conditions there is no more important committee"
 What about the constitution of the eom- mittee?"
 "Well, cannot give you the names, but the ablest representatives upon both sides of the question will be on the committee. It will be one that is fair and impartial. The committee on banking and insurance is an important committee, and there is in all probability much legislation upon the

 POCkETBOOk SNATCHER
Negro Snatches a P0Ckeibook From a
 Lady in Open Day Time.

About o'clock yesterday morning lady whose name could not be ascertained, was attacked by a big, burly negro in Sixth avenue near Twenty-third street, who and attempted to escape.
 The lady was on her way to the city to make some purchases when the negro sud- denly came up to her, and grabbing the book started off. She was greatly fright ened but screamed at the top of her voice, attracting the attention of William Budge, who chanced to be passing near by. He immediately took in the situation and started in pursuit of the negro, attacking him with his umbrella MT Budge made an attempt to hold the robber, but being the stronger of the two, the negro broke away and started to run. As he did so he dropped the pocketbook but did not stop to pick it up. The negro went in the di- rection of North Birmingham, and a tele- phone message was at once sent to police headquarters. Officers Johnston and Kirk ley responded to the call mounted.
 They followed the direction taken by the negro, but failed to find any trace of the highwayman.
 The negro was about 5 feet inches tall very black and heavy set. He wore a dark red sweater and cap, and is evidently q desperate character
 The pocketbook containing about s10O was restored to the owner.

William H. West has departed from the beaten path of minstrelsy and has estab- lshed distinct standard of his own. h. stead of the time-worn burnt cork artists with the time-worn jokes he introduces vocalists who can sing selections from "Cavalleria Rusticana." There is enough of the comic to leave a good flavor in your mouth as well as a good word for the show. There is but one feature to MT Vests entertainment which he might have left out. That is the time he gives to the ventriloqust. The time when a man with a freak voice can sit down with dummy on each knee and amuse an audience by having them get off bad jokes has passed.
 The first part of the West performance is gorgeous, and the ending comes with superb drill by twenty-five or thirty Jack Tars. Captain Sigsbee, impersonated by MT Vest is in command of the drill. President Mckinley, Admirals Schley and Dewey are introduced to review the com pany.

The eighth hold up which has occurred in Birmingham in as many days was reported to Officer Gus Wright at the Union depot salesman of New Orleans who was the vic- tim.
 MT. Goldman stated that while walking along Sixth avenue, near Twenty-seeond street. about 10 o'clock Wednesday night he was stopped by two white men, who ordered him to throw up his hands.
 He said that he informed the hghwaymen that he had nothing on his person, except a brass watch, which he handed over to one of them. After examining it closely and smelling it, MT. Goldman said that the marking that they did not want it. They then proceeded to search his pockets, find- ing S5 cents in change. ii They asked him if that was all the money he had, and receiving an affirmative reply handed the money back and told h m to move on, which order he quickly obeyed.

Griffin immediately joined the group, whereupon the following conversation ensued:
 "Did I understand you to say that Bill Jones was dead?"
