ATTEMPTS TO SELL
 FRENCH SECRETS
A NoN-coMMl lssIoNED OFFICER
 TRIES TO DISPOSE OF NAVAL IN. FORMATION TO REPRESENTA-
 TIVE OF JAPAN-Is ARRESTED.

Paris. March 11.--In spite of official retcence and denials from the Japanese legation here, 1t Is again affirmed that a non-commissioned officer named Martin, who was employed in the ministry of marine. and who is now under arrest, at- tempted to sell French naval secrets to a naval attachee of the Japanese legation. The discovery of this alleged attempt came as a result of the accidental open ing of a letter addressed to the non-com- missioned officer by a naval captain of the same name This letter was from an intermediary. but 1t indicated the prin- cipals in the affair. It is alleged that several women are implicated, and that one of them has confessed.
 It appears now that only one document is missing from the ministry of marine but 1t is possible that Martin photograph ed and replaced others. It is not likely that the information alleged to have been stolen. got beyond the intermediary, and it Is said that the Japanese naval at tachee, who Is supposed to have been in direct communication with Martin sailed for home on board of the cruiser which Japan purchased from Argentina

JEFFERSON VOLUNTEERS AND BIRMINGHAM RIFLES INSPECT ED BY BRIo-.oEN. CLARK, ADJT. GEMS. BRANDON AND LlGoN.

Brig. Gen. L. V. Clark, Adjt. Gen. W. W. Brandon and Inspector General R. F. Ligon formally inspected the Birmingham Rifles and the Jefferson Volunteers at the armory in the city hall last night. It is the regular regimental inspection which was ordered about two weesk ago by Gov ernor Jelks.
 As far as Is known the inspection was satisfactory. and the two companies were found to be up to the standard of the in- fantry companies in the Alabama na- tional guard. Both companies are strong and both are considered well drilled. A report of the condition of the companies will be forwarded to the governor when the inspection ends.
 It is generally believed that the inspec- Is another move in the old Higdon-Kyle light, and that the companies found be- low the standard will be mustered out of the regiment. theSrhird.

ROSEBERRY MAKES
 A BITTER ATTACK
THINKS PREMIER BALFoUR WAS uNJUSTIFIED IN CERTAIN LAM GUAGE HE USED-AN UNUSUAL SCENE AMONG THE LORDS.

London, March 10.-An extraordinary scene disturbed the customary decorum of the house of lords this evening. In a recent debate in the house of commons, Premier Balfour had used the word "calumny' with reference to some state ment made by Lord Roseberry in the fis- cal controversy. When the house of lords met today. Lord Roseberry asked Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary, what jurisdiction existed for the premier for the use of such a word. Lord Lansdowne proceeded to explain the circumstances which concerned the alleged presentation of two documents by Premier Balfour to the sabinet on the fiscal question, and the subsequent withdrawal of them. He ad- Initted the premier had used the word in the heat of debate. He said he thought the circumstances justified some warmth on the part of the premier, but that he had consulted with MT. Balfour, who told him that he did not desire to irnpute to Lord Roseberry a deliberate attempt to misrepresent him.
 After Lord Lansdowne had finished, Lord Roseberry again rose and declaring the explanation had not been satisfactory, he flercely attacked the premier, whom he accused of being too thin skinned" add ing
 People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. It is all very well to defend such language by saying it was due to the heat of debate and only pret- ty Fanny's way. If man cannot curb his tongue better than that, he Is unfit to be the first lord of the treasury.
 'I do not personally care farthing what language Premier Balfour uses about me. and I only brought the matter before the house in order to point out that there are decencies of debate that should be used by those who occupy the highest positions
 After Lord Roseberry finished his speech and sat down painful silence en- sued and the lords looked at each other uncomfortably. After a long pause Earl Spencer, the liberal leader, rose and said he thought Lord Roseberry had not been fairly used.
 After another awkward silence, Lord Chancellor Halsbury asked whether Lord Roseberry had any motion to make. Lord Roseberry then moved an adjournment of the house, an almost unparalleled motion In the house of lords, but he did not press the motion to a division, and the subject dropped.

o'BRIEN WINS CONTEST.
Gets Decision Over Mike schreck In
 the Fifteenth Round.

St. Louis. March 10.-Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia fought fifteen-round battle with Mike Schreck of Cincinnati before the West End club tonight, and was given the decision at the end of the fifteenth round.
 O'Brien was the aggressor from the start. He jabbed his opponent repeat edly with the left and shot his right past Schreck's guard, landing almost at will on the side of the head. Schreck's left eye was closed and he bled from the nose and mouth. Schreck contented himself with coming into a clinch and delivering hard kidney blows. In the second round he landed left swing to O'Brien's jaw as they were coming out of clinch, and re- peated 1t moment later. which shook O'Brien up considerably, forcing him to hold. After the second round the fight was all O'Brien's, with the ex- ception of the fifteenth, when Schreck did the forcing, and in mix-up landed left and right on the jaw. Both f1R- isheo strong.

NEUTRALITY IS
 STRONGLY URGED President Roosevelt Issues an Executive Order DEPLORES PRESENT WAR Both Powers Are Very Susceptible to Injuries and Sights and Great
 Care Should Be
 Taken.
DEPL0RES PRESENT WAR

Washington, Mrch 10.-President Roose- welt after conference with Secretary of State Hay issued the following execu- tive order respecting the observance of tn proclamation recently promulgated de- claring the neutrality of the United States toward Russia and Japan, the two combatants in the far eastern war now in progress.
 All official. civic and military, are here by directed not to only observe the Presi- dents proclamation of neutrality in the pending war between Russia and Japan, but also to abstain from either action or speech which can legitimately cause irri- tation to either of the combatants The government of the United States repre- sents the people of the United States not only in the sincerity with which 1t is en- deavoring to keep the scales of neutrality exact and even but in the sincerity with which it deplores the breaking out of the present war and hopes that it will end at the earliest possible moment and with the possible smallest loss to those engaged.
 increases susceptlbiIitles.
 Such a war inevitably increases and inhames the suscephbilties of the com batants to anything in a nature of an injury and slight by outsiders. Too often combatants make conflicting claims as to 1ne duties and obligations of neutrals so that even when discharging these duties and obligations with scrupulous care it is difficult to avoid giving offense to one or the other party. To such unavoidable causes of offense, due 10 the performance of national duty there must not be added any avoidabe causes.
 '.It is always unfortunate to bring old world antiquities and ieaousies Into our life or by speech or conduct to excite an- ger and resentment towards any nation in friendly foreign lands; but in govern ment employe whose official position makes him in some respects the represen- fative of the people, the mischief of such action is greatly increased. strong and self confident nation should be peculiarly careful not only of the rights but for the susceptibilities of it's neighbors: and now adays all of the nations of the world are neighbors one to the other. Courtesy and moderation should mark International no less than private intercourse.
 "All the officials of the government civil and naval are expected to carry themselves both in act and deed to give no cause of just offense to the people of any foreign and friendly power, and with all mankind we are now in friendship.

Woman's Clothing Caught Fire and
 Neighbors Unable to Save Her.

When she discovered the fire she started running to the house. but fell unconscious before she could reach the steps.
 Mrs. F. c. Sternenburg and Eley Gray. neighbors, ran to Mrs. Schultz's assist ance but reached her too late to extin- guish the flames before the injuries were fatal. They had to run about 300 yards and when they arrived the poor woman was unconscious on the ground where she had fallers Physicians were summon ed, but services would be of no avail
 MT. Schultz left his home yesterday morning to do some work on the Seaboard Air Line, and when the last information was obtained from Irondale he had not been found and therefore had not, been notified of the fatality.

 CAPITALISTS
Tries to Interest Them in the
 Philippines
SOME WERE INTERESTED
Possibilities of Steam and Electric  Railroad Development in the Is-
 lands Were Discussed.
 Wants to Frame Laws.

New York. March 1O-william H. Taft, secretary of war, came here today and had a prolonged conference with several men prominent in railroad and financial matters. including Sir William c. Van horne, chairman of the board of the Cana dian Pacific railroad; Vice President Tu- denbull of the Guarantee Trust company; F. H. Hartman president of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads; General Peabody. Linden w. Bates, Mill ner Green, a railroad builder; J. Gilbert Smith, who is now building electric roads in Manila; Colonel Edwards. chief of the bureau of insular affairs; James Spier and Charles H. Tweed of Speyer & Go. The representatives of the Speyer firm were with the secretary for an hour and half. The conference was held in the off, flee of former Secretary of War Root.
 To Discuss Possibilities.
 After the conference Secretary Taft said that 1t had been called to consider the possibilities of steam and electric railroad development in the Philippines, and that no conclusion had been reached.
 ''These gentlemen" said the secreta- ry, have been here at my invitation to talk over the conditions which may att tract capital to> the Philippines We want to get capital to go over there and help develop the islands"
 Asked what was the disposition of the capitalists, the secretary laughingly re- piled:
 well, I must say they are not biting quite as hard as we would like. Still, some of them have displayed interest"
 VIII Frame Franchise Laws.
 He admitted that the purpose of the conference was to get information for use in framing laws regarding franchises which would give the Philippine commis- sion further powers looking to the proper development of the islands.
 This information we have been get ting today is to be used in drafting the bills that may be put before congress-" he said.
 Asked if the matter of liberality of concessions would be considered in con- nection with the proposed franchises, he replied that this would have a great deal to do with 1t, but added that there was, of course, disposition on the part of the administration to make as good terms as could be obtained.
 'rWhile today's conference was limited to the subject of railroads" said the secretary. 1t is not the intention to limit development in the Philippines to those industries. It was first the intention to confer on steamship routes and other lines, too, but 1t was decided not to do this today"

"The Chaperons."

'@The Chaperons', proved to be much peter than The Runaways,' fact that the public does not often believe in nat ural life, but which Is certainly true in this weeks record at the Jefferson the atre.
 '"The Chaperons" proved to have every thing that "The Runaways" failed in- voices, pretty women, clever comedians and some pretty girls nicely costumed, while the comedians were clever It how ever lacked spontaneous comedy, which was one of the redeeming reatures of "The Runaways."
 The music of "The Chaperons' is very pretty and of a slightly higher class than that ordinarily found in musical come dies The voices of the various members of the company are. generally capable of rendering the songs given them. Arthur Earnest has very fine baritone, and his rendition of We're All Good Fellows" with q male chorus was particularly en- joyable. It received a number of en- cores last night.
 Ed Randall, young tenor whose name does not appear on the programme at- tracted much attention by his strong and clear voice. The song has a ring and a swing about 1t which make 1t very ef- fective.
 Thomas Whiffen has large share of the fun dispensing. and Is rather a bright comedian for straight part. He has no makeup. and all that he has to depend on is his ability. His part is not as funny as it might be and all that Is gotten out of the lines is by his ability. John G. Sparks, supposed to be the leading com edian, has not much of a part. Harry Ladell. Oscar ftagland, one almost a dwarf and the other giant, and W. ". Strunez are the other comedians.
 There Is something very attractive about Miss May Boley. At first glance one would hardly call her pretty. but she rapidly improves until she is really a striking looking woman before the last act is over. She has a good voice and is a good comedienne, a rare combination. Mabile Hite, in burlesque part of Old Sleuth, female deteetive, is original and earns the applause she receives. She has the comedy songs of the production and Is encored frequently In every one.
 Miss Day makes pretty and winsome Violet Smilax, ward of Adam Hogg. the part of Thomas whiffen. She has clear. sweet voice and sings we'll but seems to lack animation. Her song, 'He Winked At Me Is rather good, the tune being tuneful. The music of the production is generally of that slow, dreamy kind. and is good.

Amelia Bingham.

Amelia Bingham's annual production has caused much comment this year be- cause her new play, "olympe," is rad ical departure from anything this brill iant woman has presented since she be- came a star. Miss Bingham's comedy gifts have long been conceded, but in .tOiympe' she demonstrates that emo tional intensity is also conspicuous feat ure of her histrionic equipment. The new play is by Decourcelle the well known French dramatist, and Miss Binghams s production is said to be the most beau tiful and costly of the season. Miss Bingham will present "Olympe" at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday with a cast including Harry Woodruff, Cres- ton Clarke. J. H. Gilmour. Frank Lam dor. Myron Calico, Louise Galloway.
