ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.
The Two Factions Vow Fighting
over Third AuditOrship of
the Treasury.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Judge Buckley.
postmaster at Montgomery, Ala, is TO
be a candidate for the third authorship
Of the Treasury Department, the position
now held by Col. william Youngblood OF
that state. This candidacy OF Judge Buck
ley is the outcome of the fight which has
been going on among the Alabama Re
publlcans and 1t is probable that the
faction headed by State Chairman
Vaughan proposes 10 fight Col Young
blood to the death.
District Attorney Vaughan has all the
time declared that he did not propose to
make fight on any of the present fed
eral officeholders even If they were ar
rayed against him In the contest for the
control of party, but 1t is evident that
he is back of Judge Buckley's candidacy.
If he is not the inspiration of it.
The only other fight for a prominent
place on the Federal pay rolls of Ala
bama is that over the district attorney
ship of the middle district. The present
occupant Of that position, Warren Reese.
hos opposition in the person OF NJ. L.
Steele, who was presented to-day to the
president by Chairman Vaughan. Repre-
sentative Stallings went with Messrs.
Vaughan and Steel to the White House
and secured the audience for them.
Col. Youngblood's friends have professed
to believe that he would not have serious
opposition, but this announcement of
Judge Buckley's certain candidacy I get
from an unquestioned source. There is
in fact no doubt that Youngbloods enc
mics in Alabama are after his scalp
whether they land the place for one of

some other In case of change it is
probable that Congressman White OF
North Carolina, the last of the negro con-
gressmen. will be the lucky man.

that it would be desirable to concur in

without sending them to conference. A
special rule for Don-concurrence had been
drafted, but later Chairman Hull decided
10 defer action until tomorrow, when a

will allow him to move concurrence IN

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.
mn 10 Promote Its Efficiency Causes
Sharp Debate-WtH BE Voted
ON To-day.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-The House clear
ed the decks to-day of a number of i'm
portant conference reports without much
difficulty. The conference report on the
war revenue reduction bill proved general
ly acceptable to both sides, and was
adopted without division. Mr. Richard
son. the minority leader, acquiesced in
it as the best that could be done. al
though he stated that the minority still
believed the war taxes should be reduced
s7OOoo.OOo Final reports on the diplomatic
and consular and agricultural bills were
adopted. The major part of the day was
given to the bill TO promote the efficiency
of the revenue cutter service. Although
the bill is a House measure, it's friends
were very persistent and in the face of
many difficulties hung on It with bulldog
tenacity and finally forced the bill into
such a parliamentary situation that it
would be voted upon after five minutes
debate tomorrow.
Experiments in Mail Delivery.
Mr.. Loud presented a complete confer
ence report on the pcstofiice appropriation
bill. He explained that the most import
ant amendment agreed upon in conference,
provided for experiments in mail deliY-
cry III tOWIlS ana C1leS IOl DhNIuS lISe
delivery or rural free delivery service. He
said it might ultimately involve an expen-
diture Of $25,000,O00 per annum. The
amendment directing the Postmaster Gem
eral to report upon the feasibility of
government postal telegraph and telephone
system he considered unwise.
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia, supported tho
amendment for experiments in mail de-
livery. The report was defeated, AZ to
80 - IL 1s,Fnr
eDce.
Mr.. HAY of Virginia and half dozen
ether Democrats objected to a request
for unanimous consent 10 non-concur with
the Senate amendments to the army APP
preparation bill and to send the bill to
conference. The bill was sent to the Mill
tary Affairs Committee.
There were several sharp exchanges
during the debate on the revenue cutter
bill. Messrs. Hepburn of Iowa, in charge
of the bill, and Mann of Illinois, crossed
swords frequently
Mr. Hepburn said that MFR. Mann was
like the graphophone, an admirable in
strument for purposes of repetition, but
when the accuracy of the statements was
to be investigated the man who spoke
into the machine had to be Intercepted.
Br Mann retorted that 1t was the
truth of his statements which hurt.
Mr.. Talbeft OF South Carolina suggested
that Mr.. Hepburn's namesake of old,
Peter, once walked upon the water, to
which Mr.. Hepburn replied:
My recollection is that he didn't make
much progress"
Mr.. Moody Of Massachusetts, chairman
of the special committee, appointed 10 in
vestigate the pay of employees Of the
House, presented the report of that COM
nittee. A resolution was adopted, direct
ing the Speaker to appoint another com
mittee of five, members-elect of the next
House. to prepare general bill provid-
viding for the employees of the House.

time. For two or three years past
his decline has been marked. One Of
the questions to come before the ap-
preaching diocesan convention is that
of coadjutor bishop.
Bishop Burgess was born at Frovi-
dence, 4. l., Oct. IS. 1919, and grad
uated from Brown university in 1883.
and from the general theological SEM
mary, New York, in 1S41. He was
made a deacon Nov. ), 1912, and
ordained priest Nov. 1, 1s4S. Prior
to his elevation to the Episcopate he
was rector of various parishes in
Maine, at Brooklyn, N. Y, and
at Springfield, Mass. He repre-
sented the diocese of Maine. Long
Island and Massachusetts in the gem
eTal conventions of the Protestant
Episcopal church from 1874 to 1877
and in the latter year was president
of the house of deputies. Upon the
death of his brother George, of Maine,
he was chosen by the clergy of the d.
geese to succeed him, but declined.
When the diocese of Quincy was Gre
ated, he was elected, it's first bishop
and was consecrated at Christ church.
Springfield, Mass, May Is, 1873. Be-
sides publishing a memoir of his
brother, Bishop Burgess is the author
of several Sunday school question
books. carols aud hymns. and has
been a contributor to periodical church
literature.
Bishop Burgess is a man of kindly
and impressive appearance. He is a
fervid and eloquent speaker. His
sermons are noted for their beauty of
diction. The bishop is greatly be-
loved throughout the diocese. and
the affections of his people will abide
with him at st. AlbaHs. where his

ABOUT THE BROWNIES;

GERS to whom Mayor Knox has en-
trusted tbs power of preserving the

fellows, an so small, just like L saw

think big man would be afraid of
them. Policemens, you always told
me, were large men that looked cross
at bad boys. "
"Iou are correct. A policeman
should meet a certain standard in
size. But Mayor Knox appears to
have decided to change the order of
things by selecting little fellows who
will be able to pull the administration
out of the tight places that it is liable
to get into the coming two years

WATER HE USES is PURE
A. ID. Huesing Has RedIstilIInE Plant Al
His BottlIng Works.

A. ID. Huesing Has RedIstilIInH Plant at
His BOttIIng Works.
A. ID. Huesing has provided his bot
Ting establishment with a redistilling
plant, one of the very newest things
in the business, and an outfit that
gives his factory sufficient supply of
absolutely pure water. Several well
known physicians of this city have
seen the plant in operation and exam
ined its product and pronounce the
water that runs from its coils COM
pletely sterilized.
The essential feature in which the
new still differs from those in COM
mon use lies in the second boiling of
water. The steam from the first
boiling and all substance which is
brought to the surface il passed off
through an opening at the side of the
tank, ana the water then goes to a
tank below, where the distilIing
proper begins. The steam which
rises from the second tank is con-
Quoted through the first tank, where
the raw water cools and condenses it,
being in turn warmed by the process
and ready to reach the boiling point
quickly when introduced into the first
tank. A nice balance has to be main
tanned in regulating the quantity of
water entering the plant so that it
equals the output. This will be au-
Dramatically regulated when the ma
chine is in full working order.
About 60 gallons an hour is the
average capacity of the plant. A New
York fil'er, which has been used
heretofore, is so arranged that it can
be operated in addition to the filter
plant when the river water is in bad
condition. Mr.. HuesiDg is anxious to
have the people see for themselves
and be convinced that the water he
uses in the manufacture OF bis bottled
goods is absolutely pure.
