ITS OWN BREAD
GOVERNMENT OF ITALY ESTAB-

Plan Declared a Success-Improve- ment Noted Both in Quality
 and Quantity of Food.

Rome Correspondence of The New York
 Evening Post.
 All Italy is discussing an experiment in what Is called by the awkward title or the ''municipalization of bread'-that Is, the assumption on the part of local au- thorities of the business of baking and distributing to its inhabitants all the bread consumed within its limits. The Italian Governments monopoly of certain lines of enterprises. of which the culti- vation and manufacture of tobacco is the most conspicuous example, has made the logical transition to Government control . Of other industries intelligible to even the most ignorant and thoughtless In sev- eral of the small towns, from time to time, the local authorities have taken up- on themselves, for longer or shorter pe- riods. the functions of public bakery. This has usually been Gas in the little town of Positano on the northern shore of the bay of Salerno. three or four years ago) as a temporary expedient during strikes. At that time. the bread man. ufac.ured by the town was of better qual- ity and cost less than what the bakers had provided. On settlement of the strike the municipio ceased its interfer- ence. At the present time Perugia owns and operates both a mill and bakery, and Forli a, bakery; but no large city of France or of Italy has undertaken such an enterprise until quite recently, Ca tania. The experiment of Catania has been watched far beyond the bounds of Sicily, and from Milan to Naples people are measuring its success and discussing the desirability of following her exam ple.

came to Montgomery from Birmingham yesterday morning. They were met here by Captain Sheehan. The military men conferred with the Board Of Directors of the Commercial and Industrial Asso- ciation. They also visiteds Pickett Spring and Highland Park and discussed the matter of the proposed encampments with street railway officials.
 It was said that the officers gave the street railway companies to understand that they required a drill ground, a mess hall and other buildings. The under standing is that which ever railway com pany provides these requirements will secure the encampments.
 At the conference yesterday afternoon with the committee of business men the military men explained that the annual appropriation by the State for the en- campments would fall short about H.00O for meeting the necessary expenses Of each regiment. The deficit must be paid either by the soldiers or the city that secured the encampment. As thousands of dollars would be expended the officers showed that he encampment would be a good investment for Montgomery.
 Captain Gardner said that each regi- ment would bring not less than 800 men. It was estimated he said that each of these men would spend $10 The coni- missary department of each regiment wonld spend about $1.OOO for fresh meats alone and other purchases would include large quantities of groceries. vegetables. ice and other articles. In short each regiment would throw about 5000 into the chanels of trade. All purchases. he said would be made in Montgomery.
 With these assurances the committee endorsed the proposition to go to work this morning to raise a fund, the mini mum amount necessary being $1,0O0.
 It is highly probable that the railroad companies will be asked to run excur- sion trains to Montgomery during the encampments.
 Captain Gardner and Captain Kennedy returned to Birmingham yesterday even ing.

were speakers of education and more or less power, when they became warmed to their subject the African showed and in every case but one, the speaker threw the polished English to the winds with which he began the unirnpassioned ad. dress and spoke enthusiastically in plant ation dialect to the great edification of his audience.
 The principal speaker of the meeting was Prof. J. A. Crockett of Atlanta Crockett has a. wonderful voice and q dramatic presence. He is a sculptor of bust of General Robert F.. Lee and one ot Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) His speech last night aroused the negroes and made deep impression.
 He began his remarks by stating that he came to Montgomery as an onlooker to find out exactly what was In the erui- grafton movement, but since his stay in the city he had been convinced of it's wisdom and was with 1t heart and soul.
 He said that he had been told that in Montgomery there was not a court. from the court of the justice" to the Supreme Court, where negro could appear be- fore the bar in behalf of himself or fel- lows of his race. He knew that a negro was not allowed to sit on jury trying a case aginst a negro in the State courts.
 What then,' he asked, have We tu live for here? We can never be othe- than tillers of the soil and menials of the house."
 He did not discourage industrial devel. opment but asked what has the negro done since his birth but be developed in dustrially. He thought it time for tho negro to turn himself to other pursuits.
 Crockett paid his respects to the negro ministry of Montgomery, who so feared the displessure of the white man that h., was afraid to tell his congregation to at tend the emigration movement.
 In all its phases he discussed the move ment and was greeted enthusiastically when he closed.
 He was followed in short talks by l.. N. Fitzpatrick of Athens. Ga. who has been to Africa, c. NJ. Manning of Co., lumbus, Ga; Laura Lemon of Atlanta, M. w. Wright of Montgomery, and Pas tor Rogers of Montgomery.
 Bishop Turner then addressed the au- dience briefly telling of the country to which the Association Is striving to take its members. after which the Associa- ton adjourned sine die

What the People Eat.

What do these people eat? It begs the question to answer. as some one did, 'They eat New York" For breakfast one eats five centimes worth of bread cents worth; at noon. more bread, a raw onion or tomato, or occasionally a piece of fish. and this costs a man twenty centimes. At night he may eat macaroni with a vegetable, beans or polenta (corn meal mush), and bread and perhaps a little wine. and this costs him sixty centimes. If one adds three cents for contingencies, rent, clothing. etc, the lira a day is consumed. Fuel to keep himself warm he never has. rarely needs His home usually has but one or two rooms. and if he has not inherited 1t he can hire one of three or four rooms. rather weak in doors and windows, yet habit able enough in this climate, for four cents a day. A quart of wine. costing nine or ten cents, lasts a moderate man a week He may choose bread and water for breakfast and supper, and a minestra. a meal of soup. made of bread and water and vegetables and a little fat A few figs or a little fruit, an orange. or a medlar or two, may sometimes afford a change of diet; all. perhaps, grown just outside his door.

refuse hemp and earn lira day. The young women have been taught lace mak- ing in the public cchool. and their cush- ions and pins may be found in all the houses. Their work is slower and more exacting and they earn even less than lira a day. The shoemaker works more than two days making by hand pair of low shoes, walks to Sorrento. two hours distant, to buy his materials. for which he pays more than four liras. and then asks seven liras for the product-hardly more than lira per diem. The letter carrier, barefooted and ragged, a span new leather pouch his only badge of of- flee. is paid half a lira a day. and re- ceives a dole It the door when he brings package or registered letter. How does he live on his wage? He doesn't, fortunate n, he has a hard working son in New York. But the wo- men who bring down large bundles of faggots on their shoulders from the moun- tain villages do not seem to earn moYe than the postman. if one may judge from
 their bare feet and legs and their patched,
 short calico dresses.

in connection with the reading books already adopted. They are designed to help out and supplement the work in the other school books In each instance the supplemental books were secured at wholesale prices: that Is, the com- panies agreed to sell them to the school chill dren at wholesale prices. The adopted books sell eblow olesale prices.
 Teh companies which secured. the contract for supplying the supplemental readers are The MoMillan Company Guin & Co.,, D. c. Heath Co.,, The American Book Company, Southern School Book Company. University Book Publishing Company. Educational Pub fishing Company. Silver. Burdette & Co.,, B. F. Johnston & Co.
 The Commission declared that the two State Repositories for the distribution of the books should be established at Montgomery and Birmingham. The men who are to have charge of the Repositories will be named by the successful bidders. but they must be ac- ceptable to the State Commission.
 The law provides also for the location of three Repositories in each county of the State. The location of these county Repositories will be decided by the Superintendent of Educa- tion after conferring with the successful bid ders.
 The contracts between the State officials and the representatives of the publishers were be- ing drawn up yesterday The contracts. among other things. require that portion of the adopted books must be in Alabama ready for distribution by ept. list. The contracts also require that sufficient DOCKS TOT the Il- auguration of the uniform system throughout Ala bama must be ready for distribution by October Ist
 The remainder of the work of the inaugura- tion of the system is now with the companies which secured the State contracts They must agree on two men to conduc the State deposi- tories. arrange for the county Repositories and the men to have charge of them, and arrange for the shipment of the books.
 representative of one of the largest com panies said yesterday that nearly all this work would be done in New York. The Ala bama representatives. he said. would make recommendations and the officials of the va rious companies in conference in New York would act upon them.
 It Is a notable fact that every adoption of school books was made by unanimous action of the Commission. Every member Of the commission voted for every book which was adopted.
 Another remarkable feature about the Com mission was that only two members of the Commission. Governor Jelks and President John W AbercrombIe. favored the enactment of the uniform text book law. At the time the bill was pending it's wisdom was doubted by Dr. F. NJ. Peterson. State Superintendent l. W Hill and President c. c. Thach of the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute
 Upon becoming members of the Commission those whohad favored the law and those who did not favor 1t determined that the State should get the very best books and the very best results from the law. The entire Com mission workedto thatend. Itwas one of the hardest working bodies that ever assembled at the Capitol and It's sessions were harmoni- ous throughout

Young Men Emigrate.

To show how vital this question of good and cheap bread is, the condition of the inhabitants of Positano may be taken as an example. Like the greater part of the towns of Southern Italy. 1t has been left behind in the march of the worlds pro- gress. It's young men leave their homes, the guide books have been saying. and travel through the ex-kingdom of Naples,
 but now 1t Is nearer the truth to say that of its 5000 natural inha bitants more than a third are in New York, With the exception of few boatmen, the pop ulation therefore consists chiefly of old men. women and children" The old wo-
 men. with distaff and spindle and cid hand looms, make a coarse sacking from

TO RAISE A FUND TO SECURE
 TWO MILITARY ENCAMPMENTS
Second and Third Infantry Want to Come to Mont gOmery In July and Business Men
 Are Interested.
Are Interested.

If citizens of Montgomery offer suf- ficient inducements the pratice encamp- ments of the 2nd infantry and 3rd in- fantry, Alabama National Guard. will be located hepe in July. bringing to Mont gomery 1.600 soldiers and their friends.
 After a conference yesterday afternoon with Captain H. B. Kennedy and Cap tain Walter Gardner of Birmingham. staff officers of the ard infantry. and Captain W. T. Sheehan of Montgomery, repre- senting Colonel E. H. Graves of the 2nd infantry, special committee of the Com mercial and Industrial Association deter mined to undertake to raise a military fund for the purpose of securing the en- campments.
 The committee of business men named by the Board of Directors of the Com. mercial and Industrial Association to raise the fund consists of Victor H. Hanson, J. C. Haygood, A Nachman, A. M. Cassimus. A. Gibian. Duncan May, c. M. Smith. B. s. Griel. J. H. Higgins, R. M. Vandiver, Thomas Howe and Sid ney Mohr.
 This committee will meet at e:30 o'clock this mornig to begin it's work of canvass ing for the necessary funds.
 AS the 3rd infantry desires to go into camp on July 8 the committee realizes that he funds must be raised as speedily as possible. The 3rd infantry will break camp on July 15 and it is expected that it will be followed by the 2nd infantry, which will also be in camp one week.
 The camp will be located either at Pickett's Spring or Highland Park. The military men said either place was available. The selection depends upon the liberality of the street railway com panies. Pickett's Spring is the terminus of the Montgomery Traction Company. Highland Park is reached by the lines of the Montgomery Street Railway.

 The hit of the evening was the musical act of Gray and Graham. Their music on the chimes was especially pleasing
 Mile DeLomo does some very good feats in club swinging and w. J. Carney was good in buck dancing.
 The small audience was pleased with the performance and the show deserves patronage. .-

Sentiment Turns Toward Treaty.

Washington. June 25.-Representatives in Washington of the Panama Canal Company have received cable dispatches from Bogota to the effect that the senti- ment in Colombia of intense opposition to the ratification of the Panama canal treaty has undergone considerable change. While there is still much opposition, the dispatches say the prospects are for earlier ratification of the treaty, without amendment than was expected.

A Purgative Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitts Little
Early Risers for biliousness or con-
stipation you know what a purgatlve
pleasure is. These famous little
pills cleanse the liver and rid the
system OF all bile without producing
unpleasant effects. They do not
grippe, sicken or weaken, but give
tone and strength to the tissues and
organs involved. w. H. Howell OF
Houston, Texas says: ''No better

Risers for constipation, sick head
