 The improvement that will be hailed with most delight by the fans will be on the score board in center field. Con- tracts will be made with the Western Union Telegraph Company and the scores, by innings, of every game played in the Southern League, will be received. This was not done last sum- mer or in 1903, only the score of the Montgomery game being put on the board, and the dissatisfaction of the local fans was very pronounced. It is useless to say how much more inter est Is added to the local game by a tele- graphic score of the other games. For instance, say the PretZels and some other club are running a dead heat for a certain position, anything from one. two, three to outside of the first di- vision. By watching the local game and looking at the score board with the results of the rival club the en- thusiasm is intensified. Last summer. this could not have been a suppository case as the PretZels never. during the long. timesome season. had a rival for the cellar ampionship.
 The eenterfield fence will be moved back twenty feet, and as Lew WI
 has threatened to get in the game this summer it will be interesting to see how many balls the Egyptian manager will put over the fence this summer.

The stock was listed on the stock exchange of Chi cago and held by the public generally. the common stock being quoted at $23 to $3l per share, it's par value being one hundred dollars and the preferred at par Mir.

Industrial novnlonmsnt.

M. V. Richards Industrial Commits sioner for the Southern Railway, is au- thority for the statement that his road now has under progress 35.000 nego- tiatiCns ranging from a search for a home acre" to locations for great in- dustrial plants. The statement was made with a view of showing that 1905 promises to see the most wonderful de- velopment in the history of the South ern.
 It is stated that during the last few months the Southern has located l2.OUU Italians, 60 per cent of them in South ern towns and the others In growing cotton, vegetables and small fruit. He also tells of the location of a large Danish colony in Mississippi, a Hunga- rian colony in Louisiana, a German colony in Mississippi and a Swedish colony in Louisiana.
 Typical of the work which is being done by all the railroads Is the con struction of steel bridge and s ven industries representing an investment of more than $l.000.O0O, and giving employment to more than 15,0O0 people at Clarksburg, Va, and the location of twenty industries at Memphis, the list ing of several hundred thousand acres of timber land and unoccupied farm lands and advertising them in the North and Northwest. the location of twenty families purchasing between 10000 and 900 acres of land, and the establishment of a canning factory near Calvert, Tex. of a capacity Of 10000 cans daily.
 In the Southwest conditions are equally favorable. The Frisco alone has carried during the past few months more than 5000 homeseekers, and has located 1,50S who have purchased 1884, cor acres of land, representing an h. vestment of $1,S73,OO0.
 According to the best authorities. railroad construction in the South is likely to exceed all records. In seven teen States and Territories, including Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Mis- souri, there will be constructed fully 4,0O0 miles of railroad during 1905, the record fer 1904 being 2,4OO.

DOMINICAN PROTOCOL.
ROOseVeIt's Message Transmitting It
 Read to Senate.

Washington. Feb. 1i The Presi- dents message transmitting to the Senate the new Santo Dominican pro- tocol was read at an executive sessi )n today following the passage of a mass of unobjected pension bills. Not more than six or seven Senators were pres ent. The leading feature of the mes sage was that in order to maintain the Monroe doctrine 1t was nece ssAry for the UniteG States To see that just claims contracted by South and Gen. tral American republics and those of the West Indies should be paid and that therefore 1t was in the interest of peace for this government to take over the control of the revenues in SantJ Domingo.
 This subject of the Monroe doctrine Is discussed at some length. especi ally as regards the relations of the United States to the republics of the sou h. In protecting there republics and guar rnteeing their territS Srial integrity it ia said In the message to be necessary also to see that just debts and 0bliga- tIonS contracted by these republics are pad so that foreign intervention in '' irs of such republics may be avoided.
 .otocol was not read at the ex- ecutiVe 'ession, but was at once refer red to the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions.

WORK AT BALL PARK
MAJOR WINTERS PREPARING FOR
 SUMNER SEASON.
Grand stand and Grounds WTll Be Re- paired to Suit the FRus-Pitcher
 Gilbert to Join Pretxels.


 The first work of remodellins the stands and grounds at Athletic Park for baseball was started yesterday when Major E E. Winters. with a To- cal architect and an Advertiser man. braved the Arctic breezes and went to the ball grounds.
 An iunovat ton that will appeal to the ladies especially, who, after all, are about the best patrons of the game in Montgomery, will be the new entrance to the grandstand. On the street side center of the rear of that building 6 gate will be built in the fence with a broad flight of steps leading into the stand. 1t is probable that Gn tickets will be sold from the present box of- flee. the big gate there being used as an entrance. A passage way will then be opened from the gate to the grand stand steps in the center of that build center of the grandstand will be used simply as an exit, thus avoid the crush at the gates at the termination of n game. This has not been decided ana 1t may be thatlboth gates will be used as entrances.
 Another innovation will be in the press and scorers box, which will be built under the center of the grand stand and directly behind the back stop, or in straight line from the plate.
 In the players dressing room at the east end of the grandstand big shower baths will be placed as well as new stove and new water hose.
 The roof of the hrandstand will be recovered with heavy tar paper aud everything else about the stand. seats and floors, will be put in perfect con dttion.
 The only changes that will have to be made in the interior of the stand will be the taking out of some of the seats in the center when the stems are built there and when the press box Is built underneath.
 The bleachers will not need any re- pairs, new braces being put under the

 From the present outlook the sub- committee or the House committee on Interstate Commerce, of which Repre- sentative Stevens. of Minnesota, Is chairman. which is considering the bill to regulate private car lines, will se- cure more information concerning the operation of these lines than has ever before been made public. Saturday morning F. J. Reichman, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Streets Western Stable Car Line, with headquarters in Chicago, gave a clear exposition of the bushes of his com pany and presented a sworn statement of the number of cars, the capital stock and bonded indebtedness the divi- dends paid and the earnings of the cars. This is the first time that any such statement has ever been pre- sented to public tribunal
 MT. Reichman stated that his com pany dealt exclusively in cattle cars and was the largest line, has the best arrangements and handled sixty per cent to seventy-tive per cent of the live stock traffic from Chicago to the East which was largely export trade Ills company rented cars exclusively and did not operate them in any sense and the word. He presented sworn statement as to the number of cars utilized in long naul traffic covering the period from March 1902, to the present time showing that in March | 1904, which was the maximum, 2,5S6 cars earned slightly over $26,OOO or less than eleven dollars per car for the month as compared with the state. ment previously made to the commit tee that these cars earned twelve dol- lars per day. Setting aside the allow ance for repairs fixed by the govern ment expert Midgeley and the depre- citation allowed by the master car builders. Mir. Reichman stated that in order to earn five per cent on the sev- en hundred dollars which each of these cars cost, there would have tn be a net earning of $122 each per annum, which his company was unable to se- cure as the average earning capacity ranged from six to eleven dollars per month. He presented the exact fig ures to the committee. The sworn statement gave the stock and bonded indebtedness at $6.534.747. The pre- ferred stock paid seven per cent per annur1; for a long time no dividends had been paid on the common stock but for the past two years 1t had paid

Passenger Traffic Manager s. H. HardwIcK of the Southern RailWa5 spent yesterday in Montgomery With hls relatives.
 He is en route to his office in Wash ington after tour of the West with a party of Southern Railway oticials. In the party were H. B.

 The Times-Democrat of New Orleans had the following interview with MT. Hardwick:
 "By an adjustment of connections and schedules, the Southern route by way of New Orleans, will be able to compete in the matter of time and ac- continental routes, and for a portion of the year at least will be by far the most popular route for passenger traf- fic," Is the opinion expressed yesterday Hardwlck of the Southern Railroad who was in the city yesterday with other officials of the road.
 "To accomplish this there must be a encouragement of schedules. and at this time if is exqctlv what New Or leans is in need of from passenger traffic standpoint. I am really of the belief that with close connections and a united effort on the part of the uee- essarv lines the Southern route will he able to comnete in the matter of time with any of the other transcontinental routes.
 "Our party was esrecia11v pleased with our trin hV the Southern route. and at this ti-re of tho vaar it is cer- tainlv the most comfortable route tc travel fro1o ocean to ocean I am sTr- rriSed to see so many visitors iT Now N-IAars at thIs ttr1e and fror, al1 in- airatiors the Mo~d' Gras crowds will he one of the 'n~-Ast that the city has ever entertained"

 Gilbert is Coming Back.
 When the bunch of youngsters were vietng with each other last spring as to who would get tin canned fitst--- and lots were tried and many found wanting--there walked out on the field one afternoon big, husky young giant. He had the frame of a Jeffries and the face of a child with the voice giant was Gilbert. and he hailed from the border line of Alabama and Ten nossee. His excuse for breaking into professional ball was that he was &C.,
 Lots of the local fans were from Missouri. but the innocent young giant proceeded to show them. He had an sisrs of speed that W0nd 1t was that he did not in the least know whatNto do with this dazzling speed: And throw? Why. when he a ball in hts hand 1t was well enough to stand from under
 The way that big country boy could chunk ball would make. one rub his eyes and look again. His arm was only extended half way when he got good and ready to shoot 1t in the di- rectton he wanted it to take. If Gil- his entire arm extended instead of with half his body and his arm half cro0 ked it is problematical as to what his spe d would have been.
 Before he had been working out with the Pretzels many days his father sent him word that under no circums ances would he allow him to play profess sionaI baseball. One dark and stormy night, without saying a word to any body. the husky youngster cramm d his goods and chattels into the fam. ly carpetsack and with the aid of a northbound Louisville and Nashville train hiked back to his Alahama-Ten- nessee home.
