President Lataste Before the Industrial

Washington, February 2O.-L. Y. Lataste, of Montgomery, Ala, president of the Trav elers' Protective Association of America, appeared before the industrial commission to-day by invitation. He said that the mem- bersh6p of his association had steadily in- creased since 1890, when it was formed. In that year the membership was 1000, and this year it is approximately 15,O0O. Whether or not the formation of trusts, which threw commercial travellers out of employment, had tended to increase the membership of the association, he was not prepared to say He stated specifically that he did not be- lieve that trade combination was an econo- mic disease in itself but was, in his opinion, the outcome of the monopoly of natural op- portuEties. He had no recommendations to make in regard to the legislation.

Mrs. Wilson Williams Dead Street Im-

Opeika, February 2O.-(Special.) )-Mrs Wilson Williams, formerly of Opelika, but who has been living In Atlanta, died there Sunday, and her remains were inferred here yesterday. She was the widow of Hon. Wilson Williams, who was the second judge of probate this county ever had. A large concourse of friends attended the funeral service, the deceased being a lady of much prominence.
 At full meeting last night the city coun- cil of Opelika decided to thoroughly sewer the town and authorized the street com mttee to advertise at once for bids for the work. The engineers estimate calls for nine miles of piping.
 The cost will be about $20,O00.
