RIVAL FACTIONS.
Two Conventions Claiming to Bt
 Knights of the Royal Arch.

Cincinnati, May 1.-Two conven- tions, both claiming to be the Knights of the Royal Arch. national order of saloon keepers are in session here to- day. The one which holds the archives is favored by Supreme Organizer c. s. Rogers of Hot Springs. Ark, who is the real founder of the order. The officers claiming to be the real repre- sentatives of the order are all from Hot Springs except one, who lives in St. Louis.
 The opposing faction is headed by John Hay of Chicago. John Valerius. Jos. Westerkamp and Joe Miller of Cincinnati, and Ben H. Shrader of Louisville. They will meet in Robin sons Opera House and expect to gain enough delegates to reorganize the order or form new one.
 Their objection to the regular fac tion is .hat the finances have not been properly managed. Rogers denies this and offers the books to show how the money has been applied.
 The faction headed by Supreme Or ganizer c. s. Rogers of Hot Springs, Ark. were in session until late this evening, but transacted only routine business. The opposing faction, head ed by John Hay of Chicago and oth- CTS. after visiting places of interest in and around the city this afternoon, were rendered a banquet by the local lodge tonight.
 Both factions will hold meeting 6t 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when 1t is believed some definite action will be taken

TELLER SHOT; CASH SHORT
Somewhat Peculiar Story Told by Philip Schumacher of Teutonia
 Bank of New Orleans.

New Orleans. May 14.-Philip Schu- macher. paying .eller of the Teutonia Bank. a State institution, was shot in the calf of the leg while at work in the bank counting the cash previous to a meeting of the finance committee this evening about 6:30. When assistance came he was lying on the floor, badly bruised, a pistol near him and money scattered on the floor. He said he was attacked and fired on by two men and that he had returned the fire. AL though the bank is in the heart of the city, the men could have entered and escaped by the rear. The police have been unable to find any trace of the thieves and the bank officers are count ing the cash to ascertain if any is missing.
 An examination of the Teutonia Banks books tonight seems to point to shortage of $1S,00O and starts many theories as to the shooting of Paying Teller Schumacher. Although his wound is not dangerous Schumacher Is delirious tonight and the doctor said he spoke of being attacked.

AMERICAN COMPLIMENT.
General Gazelee Pays Tribute to
 United States Officers.

London, May 14.-In a blue book on China issued today a dispatch from General Gazelee, the British command CT at Pekin, reviewing the operations in China from At gust IA to January F, has been gazetted.
 T wish to take this opportunity" he says, toward the conclusion of the dis patch, "of paying tribute to some of the foreign officers with whom the British have been associated by force of circumstances This contingent has been more with the American and Jap anese forces than with those of other powers, and in consequence of their close cooperation with us on their march to Pekin, have good reason for particularizing these forces among our allies. General Chaffee and General Baron Yamaguchi, who. respectively. commanded the United States forces and the imperial Japanese contingent, have been most loyal in all their rela- tIons with me, and I may say the same of General Wilson of the United, States forces and General Fukushima, chief of staff of the Japanese, while among the many officers with whom we have been closely associated I desire to mention the following:
 Colonel Dickman, Major Miles, Cap tain Grote Hutcheson and Major Wall CT, United states Marines on the staff of the United States contingent"
 General Gazelee favorably mentioned briefly several Japanese. Russians, French, Germans and Italians in sue ceeding paragraphs. He also alludes to Lieutenant Gaussen of the First Bens gal LapGsIN. haXiRs Assps specially

Work in Jacksonville Will Be Re-
 served for Needy Citizens.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 14.-The work of the relief association continues to progress smoothly. Ar address was is- sued to the people of Jacksonville call ing op them to work with unity in the restoration of the city. stating that the demands on the relief associations re. sources will be heavy. and urging un- employed working men to apply first with private parties. and if unsuccess- full, then to the Labor Bureau of the Association.
 Annoyance is caused by laboring men Hooking in from other cities seeking work. This is in all cases refused by the Association. work being reserved for needy citizens of the city. The military authorities were requested to take measures to prevent the entering of such people. as they simply add to the burdens of the city.
 The city under the military govern ment is quiet. It was suggested to- day that the Executive Committee take up next Friday the question of allow ing saloons to reopen under rigid re- strictions.

Montgomery Is to ha, new hotel. This was the decree of the big crowd of business men who attended the an- nual meeting of the Commercial and Industrial Association last night.
 The matter has been carefully and practically considered for some time by the Special Hotel Committee of tn, Association and a report was made last night.
 MT. J. s. Wilcox, of the Committee, said that he had nc written report to make upon the matter. but that the members of the Committee were unit. ed in the opinion and so reported that the city should have a modern, up-to- date hotel. He said MT. J. c. Haas, who had been 90 active in getting gen. tlemen together for discussion of the question, was absent from the city, but MT. s. Roman would report for him.
 Report of the Committee.
 Mir. Roman then had read the follow ing as the plan proposed by the Com mittee:
 Fully ten years ago, when Mont- gomery was a city of about 25.00o pop ulation. 1t was recognized and gener- ally commented on, that her hotel fa- cilities were entirely inadequate. AL though her population has now grown to over 10000. three great railroad sys- tems added. and improvements made in every other direction, our hotel sys- tenn has not materially improved.
 "The situation Is lamentable and grows keener in proportion to our growth.
 "The general prosperity of the coun- try at large has added largely to the tide of travel from the North and West to our genial cline. yet of this great army of tourists. who scatter fortunes as they go, very few tarry in our city. While this. the capital of the State. is the logical convention city and we have built great convention hall. we feel a hesitancy in inviting large as- semblages.
 "The commercial loss to our commu. nity, resulting from this state of af- fairs. cannot be estimated but is cer- tainly large.
 "The undersigned, impressed with the fact that the time for action cannot longer be delayed, have given the sub- feet earnest consideration; the result of their frequent deliberations are given herewith.

meeting last night almost unanimously commended the proposition of the Sisters of Charity to the citizens of Montgomery.
 Discussing the proposition yesterday a leading business man said that it was equally as liberal as the proposi- tion from MT. Carnegie to build great public library in Montgomery. It merely comprehends a practical en- dorsement of the plan by the people of the city. Surely" he said "the citi- zens of Montgomery will be willing to spend $1O,OOO to get an institution that is so badly needed in this community. It is a bushes proposition made in a business-like way and it is Q matter of surprise to me that objection should be raised in any quarter when it is so well known that the Sisters of Charity have been eminently successful in the management of public hospitals throughout the world"

"The question of necessity being so obvious. 1t took little time to dispose of.
 The question of investment was thoroughly discussed and 1t is the unanimous opinion of the Committees that modern hotel located in Mont romery and conducted in first class style, presents rare opportunity for safe investment of money with cer- tainty of good interest returns. This has been emphasized by parties from abroad who are willing to invest. A proposition to build, provided $75.00O of local money is furnished, the bal ance to be advanced on mortgage at a low interest rate was discussed. It was the concensus of opinion of the committee. however, that all of the funds should be subscribed here and the hotel built without debt of any kind.
 "A plan was formulated, which the Committee feels will meet with a quick and hearty response.
 Recognizing the fact that some time must elapse before building plans can be made and adopted and before a suitable site can be selected. the fol lowing plan was decided upon:
 "A company to be organized with s250.000 capital stock, divided into 5000 shares of $50 each, payable in monthly installments of q per share.
 This plan will enable even the hum- biest wage earner to become stock holder and at the same time afford a means of saving his earnings. begin- ming to draw interest thereon as soon as the building is completed and occu- pied. No better form of saving bank can be devised. It is better than the average bank, because the stock has a guaranteed fixed and growing value. whils it draws good interest rates. It must not be inferred that because 1t will take fifty months to pay this stock in full, that building operations will be delayed for that period.
 As soon as the stock is subscribed and officers of the company elected, architects will be engaged and options taken on desirable sites. When suffi- cient has been paid in to warrant the directors in doing so. building opera tions will begin.
 Tt is conndentiy believed that by early next spring this will be accomp- lished and by. the fall of next year a

 Discussion of Report.
 The report was received with cheers and Mir. w. F. vandiver was called upon to address the meeting.
 MT. vandiver said that such report , should not be possible in city like Montgomery. He said 1t was fact that Montgomery lacked first-class hotel facilities and he added that there was no longer any excuse for delay in the matter. The present condition was a disgrace and there should not only be new hotel, but the Exchange hotel should be remodelled. There was room and need for them all. and they would pay good interest on the in- vestment. He hoped steps would be
 taken at once to have new hotel con- structed.
 MT. c. F. Moritz said that a leading citizen of Montgomery had stated to him during the day that he would be one of twenty-five to give $10.000 for building a hotel.
 MT. Vandiver-Put me down as one of the number.
 This announcement was enthusias- tically cheered.
 Mir. M. Cody said he did not think the plan experiencing twenty-five subscribers at $10,000 each would be successful, as 1t would be impossible to get that number of subscribers. He hoped that the people would be allow ed to subscribe for the hotel, and he moved that the plan of the committee be adopted. which was unanimously carried.
 Mir. s. Roman moved that commit tee of seven be appointed to carry the plan into operation. but Colonel F. c. Caffey moved to amend by making the gentlemen signing the report me com mittee which was accepted and adopt ed.
 On motion Mir. H. M. Hobbie was added to the committee. On motion of Mir. J. S. Dowdell sub- scriptons were received at once, and l 700 shares were taken in a few minutes. The committee will meet today and every person in the city will be given ! an opportunity to subscribe.
