The case against T. J. CUrnwell. the former bank president of Bessemer, whose sudden disappearance and mah- ipulations with the funds caused the failure of the Bessemer Savings Bank over a year ago was called in the Bes- semer City Court today. Much trouble was experienced m getting jury. many objections being made to mem bers of the first venire, because some were depositors in the broken bank, and because others had formed an opin- ion one way or the other. Cornweil has many friends still in Bessener. He returned several months back from Central Americt and is now In the real estate and insurance business. The court room is crowded as the case goes on.

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham. Dec. 19.--(Special-)---
 When the Board of Revenue of Jefrer-
 son County met today and took up the
 consideration of the hiring out of con
 victs of the county, representatives of
 the Sioss-Shefield Steel and Iron Com pany and Pratt Coal Company appeared
 and presented new bids again. offering
 to pay more than $1 per head over the
 price per month offered by the Tennes-
 see Coal. Iron and Railroad Company.
 On December 18th the Tennessee and Sloss-sne efiield Companies presented bids for the hire of.the 300 .eonyicts
 usually had during year by thetcoun- ty. The Tennessee Company offered the higher price than did the Sloss-Shef- field Company. The Board did not make any decision on the matter, but asked for time to consider the case. It was thought by some that the Board desired time to consider whether the , convicts should be placed again in the mines or be used on the roads. Today when the Board took up the matter again, the attorney for the Tennessee Company was surprised to hear addi- tional bids put in by the Sloss-Shef- field Company and the Pratt Coal Com pany. The attorney for the Sloss-Shef- field Company announced that the bid of his company would provide some thing like s17.000 per annum more for the county than the bid of other com- panies for the hire of the convicts. There were some warm discussions be-
 tween the attorneys. sharp passages being made and references. The Board decided to readvertise for bids for the hire of the convicts, It Is now certain
 that the county will get much larger
 sum out of the hire of the convicts than ever before. s.

SENATOR HOAR DEAD;
THE LOSS A NATIONS,
DEAD MAN MADE ENEMIES, BUT HIS INTEGRITY NEVER
WAS QUESTIONED.

in the United States senate. March
5, 1877, and had been there ever
since. until his death. Only two
men now in the senate were there
when Hoar was elected-Cockrell, of
Missouri, and Allison. OF Iowa.
Hoar always has been in the
public eye nor or less, but his
most famous effort was his fight
on Imperialism, which began with
the Spanish-American war and end
ed only when breath had left his
body. Although a republican OF
the most pronounced kind, he as
sailed bitterly the colonial policy
Of Mckinley in the United States
senate, May %, 1903.
His GRAFTON was the bitterest
denunciation of the Philippine cam
paign heard in congress. 1t lacked
the brutality of Tillman, the quaint
ness of Carmack, the fire of Gull
berson and the sting of Vest, but
it was clear, cold, penetrating and
keen. Its language was carefully
chosen, and it was by all odds the
most comprehensive and powerful
denunciation of the present Philip
pine policy that has ever been
heard.
Hoar maintained that, as con.
gress had not declared war on the
Filipinos, there was no war, but
an organized and unauthorized
slaughter; he denounced Funston
for the capture of Aguinaldo and
Smith for his bloodthirsty cam.
paign; he declared that the nation
had d~isgraced itself utterly, and
could never wipe out the stain.
He has said that the people of
Massachusetts did not want to put
upon the naked shoulders of the
Filipinos that same yoke which
was thrown off at Bunker Hill.
So he opposed President McKin.
ley's colonial policy increasingly.
Not long & he was asked to act
as orator of the day and eulogist of
the late president at the dedication
of a memorial arch at Worcester,
Mass.
Often Hoar had said of the presi.
dent, during the latter's life, "the
man l admire and respect. but he is
wrong, wrong The tragedy at
Buffalo touched the senator's heart,
but for him sentiment could not
make wrong right. Accordingly,
he declined to act as eulogist.
In January, 1903, he introduced
his famous antitrust bill in the
senate. 1t was IN extreme meas
