Paris March 2.-President Loubet re-
ceived Mr.. Francis. president of the st.
Louis exposition. at the Elysee palace at
8 o'clock After a cordial exchange of
amenities and discussion ON the ques-
ton of the exposition, which lasted ff-
teen minutes, the president invited Mr..
Francis to occupy the presidential box

existing between the two countries and
referred to the peculiar interest that
France had in the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. He assured Mr.. Francis that
the French republic would be fittingly
represented and spoke of the interest
France took in American affairs.
Although a formal invitation to Presi-
dent Loubet to attend the exposition must

foremost officials in France should at
tend 1t. NJ. Loubet replied that he hoped

Beneficiaries Have No Fears of
Veto-clerks Hard at Work.

Montgomery, March 2--(special)-The
only change made in the mortgage tax
section of the revenue bill as published
in this mornings Age-Herald. was AN
amendment put on in the senate, add
ing mortgages OH personally. Thus no
mortgages whatever are exempt from me
provisions of the bill. The amendment
put on by the senate, taking out mort
cages on crops for advances WAS stricken
out. The amendment adding mortgages
on personal property was put on in the
senate and eoneurred in by the house.
The governor has not yet signed any Of
the bills increasing clerical salaries No
uneasness is felt by the benefieiaries of
these raises, however, as the governors
promise to hold over extra appropriations
is expressly confined to those which are
large 1t is said by the friends of the
Montevallo school that he will not hold
up the $4,000 for the building fund. As to
the increase in the maintenance fund of
$4,000. the school can run on with the
present appropriation until the next ses-
sion without being ineommoded In the
meanwhile the governor can at any time
approve the increase in the maintenance
fund if he sees the revenues are holding
up and thus make it available for en-
larged operations during the next schol-
astic year.
Under the new constitution the governor
can hold up all bills coming TO him within
the last six days before a recess and have
two days after the reassembing. Or he
can approve them at any time during the
recess and they become operative as laws
from the date of such approval
Provision was made for a week or ten
days extra pay for the clerks to stay
here and get the records in shape, and
they are all at work.
Under the text book law the governor
has the whole situation absolutely under
his control. He not only appoints the
three educators on the state board which
makes the contracts and finally passes on
the hooks, but he appoints the sub-com-
mittee of five educa tors who examine the
books and report on their merits.
