 Meeting Arrive HON. MARTIN D0DGE THERE Colonel Falk"er Making Efforts to Have the EnfIre Student Body
 of the AEburn School At
 ss1d Convention.
HON. MARIN DSDGE THERE

mooHe' November 2S-(Special.)-The soou o. .va work is progressing finely and 1g is in flrst-class shape for '"e Mention, which will convene to- morning at 10 o'clock. Chairman
 of the executive committee ex- there will be a very large attend
 ee from the surrounding country, there efe a large number of delegates in the 1ity and many more will reach here to- might.
 Hon. Martin Dodge of the Department of Agriculture at Washington is here as are Col. J. M. Falkner of Montgomery, William M. Selden of Marengo county, and numerous other prominent persons throughout South Alabama.
 1t was announced tonight that Hon. R. R. Poole, commissioner of agriculture of the State, was taken suddenly i'll We'd nesday night in Montgomery, and there fore will not be able to attend the local convention. He was down on the pro- remme to make m address. The com mittee will substitute some one for him.
 Colonel Falkner said tonight he is mak- ing an effort to have the student body of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College at Auburn attend the State good roads convention at Montgomery next week. There are five hundred of them, and the idea Is for them to have their parents or other relatives meet them in Montgomery. If this is successfully done an attendance of one thousand is assured from this source alone.

piled that he would come at once to Louisville. This. 1t is said, was unknown to Stuart Young. It became known today that several of Young's friends, having heard reports about the condition of the former city treasurer's accounts before newspaper publication was made of them had arranged a tentative plan to se- cure any aid for him that might be needed. The plan was frustrated mere ly by the fact that yesterday afternoon they were unable to find Young. He seems to have spent the afternoon away from the business part of the city.
 Yesterday morning Young asked for his revolver at the desk of the Louisville Hotel where he lived.
 Lawrence Young. the dead mans brother, said this evening:
 When I reached my home in Chicago yesterday afternoon I found numerous telephone messages from persons in Louisville. I called them up and learned of the reports of Stuart's shortage. telegraphed that I would come immed- lately and for all matters to be held up until I arrived. On my way to the depot l received a telegram announcing Stuart's death. l did not know that he had shot himself until I got to New Albany, Ind, this morning was shocked beyond all expression. If Stuart had confded in me or any other member of the family am satisfied that his trouble would have been strengthened out in short order. It was his pride that prevented him from telling anyone. He and his wife visited me in Chicago only a short time ago. He was in splendid spirits and I enjoyed his visit very much. He never even inti- mated that there was anything wrong in his accounts. and I was completely shocked when I heard of the suspicion of such a thing.'

"Nathan HaIe,"

Howard Kyle played again the title role in this town last night to an audience as large as the Jefferson Theatre would hold, There was scarcely standing room. and the play held every one, as closely as 1t did last year, It Is melodralna, of the Revolutionary War in. and about New York city, and the skill of the playwright has woven thrilling situations Into every act. Clyde Fitch has written several ac- ceptable plays, but not one that will live so long on the stage as 'Nathan Haie," based as 1t is on historical facts.
 Howard Kyle as Nathan Hale is strong almost without effort He is an artist, ever, and in the quietest manner he sometimes makes the deepest impress sions. At the end of the third act after numerous curtan calls, he came before the curtain. and spoke feelingly of his second reception in Birmingham, and of the artistic nature of MT. Fitch's play | which evoked the feeling of American
 patriotism without any bombast what | ever. MT. Kyle> employs no bpmbast
 when he portrays the leading part. | And so 1t was when Miss Florence | Smyth appeared as ,"Alice Adams"--she
 who was so charming in the first act and
 who was such a pathetic figure in the last act. She reaches her climaxes without undue declamation or uncalled-for action, and the sentiment of the great audience
 was that she played we'll her part. Com parisons are odious, but Miss Smyth has nothing to fear from them. even when
 her predecessor was Miss Comstock The lesser characters of the play were
 as rule aeeeptably presented. Some ! of the soldiers were rather stiff. and the | negro in the play may have been a New York negro, but he certainly did not act or look like one of the Alabama sort. But all in all the play was staged and acted in a satisfactory manner. and no one will say hereafter in this town that there is but one woman who is an ideal ''Alioe Adams" There are two at least.

PROFESSOR COX
 SEES A NEW COMET
IT WAS POINTED DIRECTLY UP- WARD AND WAS APPARENTLY GOING FROM THE EARTH-HEAD INVISIBLE TO THE EYE.

Chicago, November 2S.-A comet was visible here in the southern sky this even ing. Its position as viewed from the au- reau is situated, was about ten degrees southeast from the zenith,
 It was difficult to judge of the length for the reason that 1t was pointed di- rectly upward and was apparently going from the earth but Prof. Cox, in charge of the bureau, said that in his judgment it was about two degrees low.
 "1 am not an astror omer," said Prof. Cox, but feel very positive that 1t was a comet. It was plainly visible at 5:3O o'clock and we could see it at [ o'clock when 1t became invisible on account of the increasing haze All the men in the office here saw 1t. 1t could not have been meteor for 1t remained practically in the same position during the entire time 1t was visible and no meteor would have done that. Its apparently immovability shows too, that it was at a great distance from the earth. There was a head which was plainly visible to the naked eye and still more apparent when viewed through a glass. There was also a we'll defined tail"
 The comet was seen by many people on the streets as well as by the officials at the weather bureau.
 The weather and newspaper offices were bothered a great deal for some explana- tion of the phenomena. Some authorities were inclined to think that 1t was a streamer from the aurora borealis or northern lights. There were some who decided that 1t was a fantastic display of the rays of the moon deflected by the broken clouds and heavy moist atmo- sphere and smoke hanging over the earth. All agreed that 1t was a most un- usual spectacle.
 Tt is almost certain that it was a streamer of the aurora borealis," said Prof. George Hale of the Yerkes Ob- servatory, Lake Geneva, Wis, who was spending Thanksgiving in Chicago. 50 far south, however, such manifestations of the northern lights are extremely un- usual.'
 Prof. George W. Hough of the observa- tory at Northwestern University com menting upon a description given him, said: 'It may have been a reflection of the lights of the city or 1t may have been a searchlight reflected in the clouds and heavy atmosphere.

ACCOUNTANTS LOOK
 AT YOUNG'S BOOKS
$23,ooo IS THE AMOUNT SO FAR FOUND - RUMoRS SAY THAT THE DEFICIT WILL REACH AT LEAST s5o,ooo.

Louisville, November 2S-Beyond the statement made last night to Mayor Crainger lby one of the expert account ants that discrepancies amounting to s2s. GOO had been found in the books of the former city Treasurer Stuart R. Young who committed suicide yesterday after noon. nothing definite is known as to how the accounts stand between the city and it's former treasurer.
 When asked for an authoritive state ment tonight one of the accountants said that beyond the amount mentioned last night he had absolutely no idea as to what the alleged shortage is. He added that it would require two weeks of con- stant work to go over the books of the treasurer's office During his four years term as city treasurer Mir. Young han dled s11,oOo,oOo.
 There were various reports today as to the amount of the alleged shorta ge. some placing 1t at S50,00O and some even higher, but they are all surmises accord ing to the men who are examining the books.
 From developments today it seems ab- solutely certain that if Young had been found by his friends who were looking for him yesterday afternoon, he would he

FRENCH BISHOPS
 CALLED THIEVES
EXCITING SCENE IN THE CHAM. BER OF DEPUTIES ARISING FROM THE CHINESE LoAN-MEMBERs CALLED TO ORDER.

Paris, November 2s.-The Chamber of Deputies today by vote of 335 to 213 adopted the Chinese loan, after rejecting two passages of the final article, which the commission had inserted against the wish of the government and which would have excluded religious congregations from the benefits of the loan and which also provided that indemnities be dis tributed to private claimants only as China paid the installments. Both para graphs were thrown out by big majori- ties.
 The adoption of the Chinese loan bill was followed by an exciting episode. Jos Lasies, anti-Semitic, introduced a motion affirming the confidence of the and expressing gratitude toward the off, ficers who accompanied the French ex- petition to China. Henry Berleaux, radi- cal socialist, proposed an addition to the motion of M. Lasies which condemned the French bishops and missionaries in China as thieves and pillagers.
 M. Waldeck-Rosseau, the premier, op- posed the motion and its adoption, point ing out that President Loubet and M Andre, the minister of war, had already expressed the governments recognition of the services and the members of the China expedition by going to Marseilles to welcome them upon their return to France.
 Regarding the missionaries, M Wal deck-Rousseau said it was not for par- liament to pass judgment on them. A noisy debate followed, in which the mem bers of the Chamber of Deputies were repeatedly called to order. This was notable in the case of M. Lasies, who pointed to M Andre and cried: Every one here defends the army except that man."
 Finally the government accepted A mo- ton to the effect that the Chamber of Deputies associate itself with the govern ment in the homage paid by it to the expeditiopary corps to China. This mo- tion was adopted by vote of 314 to 163,
