Portsmouth. O., December 12-Mrs Charles James, widow of the late Warden James, was indirectly acquainted with Mime. DeVere during her incarceration in the Ohio penitentiary, and today declared positively that Mime. DeVere and Mrs Chadwick were one and the same. Mrs. James said:
 My heart goes out in sympathy for the woman l knew a good, refined woman. Her character was above reproach, and she was overly charitable. Though always kind and attentive to her fellow female prisoners, they considered her a hoo-doo, attributing many discomfitures and ex- periences to her. l do not think the woman was possessed of hypnotic powers, but her remarkable persuasive powers held spell bound any and all persons who came in contact with her. Until her parole ex- pired she was engaged in sewing in Cleveland. Later during a brief visit in Cleveland l called on her at No. 1860 Franklin avenue. her son Emil and maid being with her then. I corresponded with her for some time afterwards'

MUST WAIT UNTIL
 THE NEXT SESSION
PRESIDENTS IDEA OF CONFER
 RING POWER ON THE INTER- STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION CANNOT BE PUT INTO EFFECT

Washington, December 12.-Doubt is ex- pressed by some of the best informed members of congress, whether legislation eonferring power on the interstate com present session. In addition to the def mite opposition to any measure of the kind that exists, there also has developed a difference of opinion among some of best to carry the recommendations of President Roosevelt into effect. The Pres ident is earnest in his desire that such legislation as ..e has recommended be enacted, but he appreciates the difficulty of securing it's enactment at a short session of congress.
 Senator Culom of Illinois and Senator Ankeny of Washington talked briefly with the President today about the mat ter. Senator Cullom said that such legis- lation as the President had recommended had been considered by the interstate commerce mommitteo of the senate, but that it had never gotten beyond the stage of consideration in the committee It never even had been sent to the senate from the committee. He did not believe it would be possible to enact the proposition at this session. Senator An keny expressed himself as in favor of conferring on the commission the powers that would makes it's ruling effective, but he is inclined to the belief that nothing will be accomplished at the present ses- sion.

COAL FAMINE THREATENED.
Ohio River Is so Low That None Cal
 Be Shipped.

Cincinnati, December 12.-The Ohio river at this point is now lower than in any December in forty-two years, and, according to Weather Observer Bassler, the conditions are not likely soon to improve, so that the coal sit uation is becoming daily more acute. Shortage of coal cars is said to be de. laying shipments by rail, which would under any circumstances be unsatis- factory in supplying local demands, and several leading coal men today expressed a fear that a coal famine was imminent.
 No coal has been received by river for several months, the usual Novem- Der rise having failed to materialize this season. The early freezing of the river at up-river points and the pros pect of still lower water here have caused much apprehension among river men, who say this winter probably will be the worst ever known on the river.

RAILROAD WORLD.

A general reorganization of the Frisco announced by President A. J. Davidson, which will probably affect the Birming- ham representatives of the two roads and those who are closely associated with the Birmingham district, although having headquarters in other cities.
 The following special outlines the more important changes:
 Chicago. December 12-President A. J. Davidson of the Frisco and Eastern Illi- nois systems has decided upon a reorgan- ization of the passenger departments of both roads. With this end in view, the resignation of Bryan Snyder, passenger traffic manager of both systems, has been requested, to take effect January 1, It is understood that Alexander Hilton now general passenger agent of the Frisco system, will be advanced to the position of passenger traffic manager for both roads. with headquarters in St. Louis. When the reorganization was first planned 1t comprehended the promotion of w. H. Richardson, now general passenger agent of the Eastern Illinois. to general passen- ger agent of both the Eastern Illinois and the Frisco systems at St. Louis Since then, however both the Yoakum inter ests in the Frisco and the Porter inter-
 
 against the plan which the Moores had of making the Eastern Illinois practically a division of the Frisco, and the plan of reorganization had to be somewhat changed
 MT. Hilton will probably be succeeded by J. N. Cornatzer who is general agent of the passenger department of the Frisco and Rock Island systems at Memphis He is generally believed to be the next in line of promotion to Mir. Hilton He is we'll known in Birmingham, and pays fre- quent visits here He was in the city few days ago.
 The rumors in railroad circles has 1t that F. M Griffith traveling passenger agent at Birmingham. is to be promoted also It is said that he goes to Mem phis to succeed MT. Cornatzer. If that is true, 1t is probable that l.. B. Wash- ington. city passenger agent Of the Frisco here. will be promoted to MT Grinltn place.
 Mir. Hilton is recognized as particularly friendly to the two local representatives of the road, and with his promotion theirs will probably follow. The change of passenger traffic manager means general change down the entire passenger department Of the system.
 The offices of the operating depart ment of the Seaboard were moved to Birmingham yesterday from Cedartown, Ga. where they had been since work on the Birmingham-A Atlanta branch was started. About ten persons are employed fin these offices. which means that, num- ber of well paid railroad people adued to the population of Birmingham. The party arrived in Superintendent l..

TIA Point of Fact to Con- sider in Doing Your Christ mas Shopping.

fThere are good reasons Why you should do your Christmas shopping here - indutiable evidence that this is the most econom- ical place; we leave out the question of supremacy as to size and variety of holiday goods-it's the fact that we can supply you with Christ mas gifts at less than other stores that chiefly concerns us now.
 fHere's the why and the because
 It costs less, relatively, to light this store than it does any other store in the South because we have our own electric light plant.
 It only requires three or four cashiers in this store to make change for thousands of customers because we have an Instantaneous Pneu- matic Cash Tube System that costs nothing to operate.
 GIt costs this store less to deliver goods than any other because we frequently have a dozen deliveries for one street and the greater num- Der of deliveries a store has, the less is the cost for each delivery--besides we own all our own wagons and horses. they are attended to by our people, and we stable them in our own barns.
 fSum it all up and you will see this perfected system of retailing makes it possible for us to sell goods at a smaller cost than stores that lack it. and so there is less expense to be added to the first cost. fThat brings us again right back to the point-We want your trade because we de- serve it not only by maintain ing a store that puts you on New York's Broadway or 9th Avenue, so far as oppor- tunity is concerned, but be- cause this store so practices the economies of retailing that 1t makes the cost to you less for anything you want for personal wear or home use than if no such store as this existed.
 fSo shop here because you can get more for your money because you can buy the same thing here for less mon ey than twill cost elsewhere; because you may get more or a handsomer present for the money that would buy less of either quantity or quality elsewhere.
