Doubt as to Issuing Statement.

Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin,
called also, by appointment, soon af-
Ter the arrival Of Senator Plat, and
tie two senators were in conference
with President Roosevelt for more
than an hour. At its close neither
senator would say anything as to the
nature of their joint talk with the
president. Some question exists, it
is said, as to whether a statement
will be issued from the White House
concerning General Woods Cuban
reciprocity expenditures, some doubt
existing as to the policy of treating
the matter as of sufficient Importance
to warrant a formal Official statement
from the administration. It is prob.
able, however, that the statement will
be given out. General Weed has not
been summoned to appear before
the investigating committee as yet.
The conference discussed the outlook
for reciprocity legislation in view of
recent developments, but so far as
can be learned there is no change in
tie presidents position and pur,
poses.

 Power Company Stock Sold

scribed with the privilege of paying with a one-third interest in 1260 acres of land in Blount county along the Warrior river and the water power and privilege there- with belonging
 An agreement was also filed by these three stockholders bir ding themselves to convey to the said corporation, whenever the directors shall call for 1t, the lands held by them under options from the Lou isvilIe and Nashville Railroad and others along the Warrior river in sections 5, G. I, 8, r and 1S township 1s, range l west in Blount county, with the water power and privilege appertaining thereto.
 Arrangements have been made for the sale of the bonds of this company, 1t is said. and work will shortly commence on the power plant and the Steel Cities Rail- way Company This latter company was organized to build a new electric line be- tween Birmingham, Ensley and Besse- mer, and the power company was organ ized to aid in the construction of the road. It is probable that the street car company will be absorbed by the latter and that there will be but one corpora ton. Besides building this line and con- structing a power plant, 1t is proposed by the new company to manufacture gas and sell 1t. and electricity for lighting and heating purposes.

BENEFIT WILL BE
 GREAT SUCCESS
POLICEMEN DISPoSING OF TICK. FITS TO WALTON MONUMENT
 BENEFIT RAPIDLY-BEST BILL YET SEEN AT THE AUDITORIUM.

But one prediction can be made for the Walton monument fund benefit to be given Thursday night at the Auditorium It will be a success.
 The tickets were given the policemen vest terday afternoon and they commenced to work like beavers. They will not tell how many are sold, but promise to fill the house if they sell as fast the next two days as they did yesterday.
 Every policeman has tickets and they will all be only too ready to accommo- date the public by exchanging them for 50 cents. It Is not charity to buy the tickets, for each person who goes to the Auditorium will see a bill worth con siderably more than the price of admis- sion. Besides the regular bill Chief Aus tin will have real negro crap game in full operation on the stage. and he will fit up a model, modern and closely-guard- ed gambling den such as he often runs across in his raids. The crap game will dies many of whom have never seen one.
 The bill to be presented by the regular performers will consist of Madge Ellis, a dainty and good-looking comedienne who promises to take well; Ali Holt, a mimic of animals and a whistler; Pank- leb, a comedy clay modeler the three musical Ketons, presenting Baby Kelton, the youngest musician on the stage; the Berlin Sisters, and others.
