BURGLAR ESCAPED.
Young Ladies in Tuscaloosa are Fright
 ened by mn Intruder


 Tuscaloosa, Aug. 6.-(Special. )-Yes- terday morning the Misses Montgomery and a young lady visitor on Twenty third Avenue and Fourth Street were awakened to find a man In the middle of their room trying to strike a match. One of the young women screamed. when the intruder disappeared through an open window through which he had entered the room. For some time watch was kept by young men who have rooms in the upper story. and the bur glar returned again to the window and was ready to enter, when the watchers, in trying to catch him. made too much noise and he escaped. He was pursued, but disappeared in the darkness.
 The cotton crop throughout this sec tion Is suffering very materially from the unusual conditions of the weather. It Is estimated that in this county the crop has deteriated at least Is per cent during the past thirty days, and that the crop will be only 65 per cent as large as last years. Thus far very lit- tie picking has been done, both because of insufficiency of labor and the very wet weather. There seems to be a dis position on the part of the farmer to hold what cottcn has been picked, ex pecting to get better prices. The rains have made a wonderful improvement in the late corn crop and there will doubt less be very large harvest

Shipping Society.

A society to be known as the Ship ming Society of America" Is now in process of organization. Its purpose is to be the education of the masses against ship subsidy legislation and the institution of q campaign in behalf of a tonnage tax law for the building up of the American merchant marine. The head of tho movement is William w. Bates of Colorado, former United States Commissioner of Navigation. He Is en- listing the aid of prominent men all over the country in the perfection of the organization. Besides himself the following we'll known men have con- cerned themselves in the work:
 J. C. Temple, President of the Denver, Col. Chamber of Commerce; Ava Aj- ans. former Governor of Colorado; B. o. Flowers. editor of The Arena. Bos- ton. Mass; w V. Allen, former United States Senator from Nebraska.
 Other promoters of the movement are Stewart P. Lindsay, Clerk of the Federal Court at Bristol, Va. pr. Samuel Adams Robinson, Covesville, Va. R. G. F. Caudage, Surveyor of Shipping, Bos- ton. Mass; James Mowatt. ship-owne Chicago, III, and William $. Ryan, New York. N, Y., capitalist.
 There are about thirty names on the Initial list which will be added to until u eHlpTdces half dozen prominent business men from every State in the Union. When the list is completed. in- vitations for memberships will be is- sued, and every one who Is willing to aid in the campaign for a tonnage tax law and against ship subsidy will be eligible for membership.
 In the prospectus issued by Mir. Bates the following notable facts of history are set forth:
 That American shipping has been ruined by permitting foreigners to bring cargoes from countries to which they did not belong on eual footing

the country, especially in the con- sumption of brick.
 The labor situation in the building trades" says the monograph, although not so bad as in 1908, was nevertheless somewhat disturbed by strikes There were no strikes of any importance in the clay-working industries themselves. which was also true in 1903. but the consumption of clay products was af- fected by the strikes in the building trades. The hourishing condition of the industries during 1903 led all those engaged in them to look forward with anticipation for another season of great prosperity during 1904; these hopes were doomed to slight disappointment The year 1905, however. bids fair to be one of even greater prosperity than 1903. The average prices obtained for brick, the only item on which an aver age price can be given. were for com mon exactly the same as in 1903, name- ly $5.97 per thousand, though the value increased in some States quite remark ably, namely, in New York, the largest common brick producing State in the Union. where 1t rose from $4.96 to $5.S0 in 1904"
 A table of fifty of the leading cities of the United States is given which shows the amount of building done du- ring the years 1903 and 1904 in num- Der of peEpits and aggregate cost of the buildisgs. The figures are ob- tajned from the building departments of the cities.
 Six sSoAGbern cities are included in AR Ht-Atlanta. Louisville. Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and Richmond. Of these cities the largest number of permits to build were Issued by Nash vile, the number being 6,049. The others in the order named issued as follows: Atlanta, 3,441; Memphis. D. 342; Louisville. 1,749: New Orleans. 1.- 7G; Richmond. 794 These permits called for buildings costing in the sums named according to rank of~expendlt- ure as follows: Atlanta, $3,161, 445; New Orleans. $2.sl6,262: Louisville, $2,42S.- SS2; Memphis. $2.3S3.764; Richmond, S2,106, ,410: Nashville, $l,420,912.
 The table shows that in forty-six cit ies the number of permits issued in 1904 was lSS,730. as compared with lS1, 900 in 1903. a gain of 7.7SO permits. or 5.9 per cent The value of the build ings erected under these permits in- creased from $4O1.594.169 in 1903 10 $465,s76, s1s in 1904. gain of $64,OS2,- $50, or 15,96 per cent.

CummInn.s Speeches.

OuMHkuAMB SPCCCMC%s
 Friends of Governor Cummins of Iowa are discussing several speeches recent ly made by him which have led to con- siderable speculation as to whether he has abandoned his advocacy of Govern ment regulation of railroad rates and returned to his first love-tarin re- vision.
 The speeches were delivered in rapid succession. the first in debate with Hon. Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport, Conn, at Clarinda, Iowa, and the sec ond, two days later, before the reciproc- ity convention at Chicago. Because of the statements made by Governor Cum mins before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce last spring, 1t was expected that he would discuss the question at length before the Clarinda Chautauqua, especially as that was an nounced as the subject for the debate MT Davenport was. therefore, prepared to reply to him should he go over the same ground covered in his statements before the Senate Committed.
 Hut when the debate" came on the Governor paid very little attention to the railroad question and devoted him self largely to a definition and eulogy of the common people" making ref erence to the tariff situation and adVo- eating a general primary law for the State. His definition of the common people" was, in brief, those who are willing that all others shall enjoy all the rights and privileges enjoyed by themselves He also quoted briefly from his testimony at Washington stating that while he was not anti railroad" or "anti-corporation' the rail- roads and corporations should be pre- vented from doing the voting The common people" he declared. must stop and prevent for the future the rule of the railroad managers. To this part of Governor Cummins's speech Judge Davenport replied that as by far the largest part of the interest bearing securities Of the railroads were held either directlV by the common people" as individual Investments, or indirect ly, and collectively, through the saw ings banks and life insurance compa- nies, 1t was in reality the common people' who would be most affected by any change in the present policy of the Government toward the railroads
 MT. Davenport referred in f1attering terms to the present posperity of Iowa which he held was almost entirely due to the railroads without which, 1t and its neighboring states would never have been developed. Governor Cum mins took the ground that If the Iowa manufacturers had not been discrimi- hated against by the railroads the State would be more prosperous than 1t is, while MT Davenport contended that 1t is the discriminatory rates fa- vorable to the Iowa farmers which en- able them to compete in Eastern mar kets with farmers thousand miles nearer the market.
 Immediately after the debate Govern or Cummins went to Chicago, where he made a stirring speech favorable to reciprocity. .--

 Demopolis. Aug. 26.-(Special)- There is being made by the police of this city a special effort to strictly en- force the vagrancy law. and every loaf CT. male or female. will be jailed. This, in Q great measure. will solve the ser want problem here. It has been diffl- cult to get house servants and cooks and yet tho town was full of idle ne- gro women who have been living with out any visible means. It will also de- crease the probability of crime.
 There Is a rumor that Demopolis Is soon to have another new brick busi- ness house. This will be built by Du Few & Company on their property on Washington Street

Washington, August 2S.
 That the latest Booker Washington incident has seriously injured the word and works of Professor Booker Wash ington is the general opinion here or nearly all who have been made aware of the Wanamaker dinner at which the Alabama negro was the honored guest. Professor Washfngton's denial of the current story that he had escorted Miss Wanamaker to the table and his effort to excuse himself by the statement that he did not go in with Miss Wanamaker, but did dine with the family; that he was in the North and not in the South, where he always conformed to South ern ways. are looked at by Eoutherners here with distinctly disappearing eyes. It Is common enough to note an inva- riable censuring of the professor. Now and then a Southerner of the more radical l-sectional kind may be heard saying that 1t does not matter what kind of society Northern people have, but there are many other Southern people who do care about social equal ity even in the North. The people of the two sections are more agreeably intimate now than they have ever been: they have intermarried and in business relations have drawn nearer together than ever before. Therefore, 1t Is pointed out by people who are deiiber- ate and conservative of conclusion, that the spectacle of a negro school teacher dining with the family of great Northern merchant, is not only an in- jury to amicable relations between the whites and blacks everywhere in this country. but 1t tend steward retarding the long steadily improving relations between the people of the North and South. There are not a few who look upon every exhibition of social equal ity in the North as an affront to the people of the South. It Is resented as gratuitous and wholly without excuse.
 The Southern people ought not to buy another thing from John Wana- maker. He has derived much of his wealth from goods sold to the South, and a large part of 1t has come to him through mail orders. That is the way to strike men of the Wanamaker kind. He boasts that he believes in advertis- ing When he gave sop and shared potluck--he and his family-with Booker Washington. he decidedly over reached himself in the enterprise of advertising"
 This is a sample utterance heard here today.
 Here Is a distinct proposition to boy colt Merchant Wanamaker. No doubt 1t has already occurred to many another mind in the South But what really annoys Southern white men, as they are heard expressing themselves here, is the part Booker Washington took in this dinner advertising the Wanama- ker's, to say nothing of Cookers after dinner speech about 1t.

3 Gossip From the
 Nations Capital
By R. H. Watkins

with American vessels. and that under this policy. considering the experiences of forty years and the difficulties of the situation there Is no probability that we will ever recover the ground once held under the fostering policy inaugurated in 17ss, unless our Gov ernment returns to that policy.
 That 1t is undispted that in the Con- stitutional Convention 1t was acknowl- edged that an essential condition of the union was the empowering of Con- gress to regulate our foreign trade so as to favor having and maintaining American Marine. It was therefore agreed that navigation laws for the promotion of shipping should be .enact- ed"
 The prospectus goes on to cite that the subvention scheme is for the en- hancement of the interests of few wealthy ship owners. and that 1t will result in the building of the general shipping interest. It says that 1t Is not bounty. but business that the ordi- nary shipper wants, and that while subsidy may keep away stifiing com petition from the door of the American ship owner. 1t cannot reach the small ship owner. It says further that the only way to prevent the ruinous com petition that has been going on for many years is to levy tonnage tax on goods carried in foreign bottoms coming into American ports. This, 1t Is claimed, will offset the advantage the foreign shipowner has under pres- ent conditions, and will build up the American marine just as did the act of 17S9.
 The contention of Mir. Bates is that when the United States was an infant republic, a tonnage tax law was enact- ed and 1t resulted in the building up of an excellent. merchant marine ser vice Every American bottom enjoys the benefit of such q law and conse- quent freedom from the hurtful compe- ton of foreign merchant maI Inc American shippers continued to grow and prosper until the act of 1789 was repealed. The repeal of the law mark cd the beginning of thet decadence of steady decline on shippiSsS A re-enact- ment of the old tonnage tax law would result just now as 1t did then.
 There Is little doubt that Congress will investigate the question. With leading men from every state behind the movement, 1t should assume adigni- ty which would not permit 1t lightly to be treated. It is we'll known fact that there are thousands of well in- formed people who believe in this way of building up our merchant marine, and all small shipowners are behind 1t. It was the opinion of Jefferson that this was tn eoniy way to promtee Aberncan shipping. Itis contended by the present promoters of a tonnage tax law that a quarter of 6 century of the law abundantiy bore out Mir. Jeffer- sons policy.
