WALTER BENNETT
 IS BACK ON BEAT
CHAIRMAN PARKER REiNSTATES HIM-NO QUORUM AT POLICE COMMISSION MEETING ScHED. ULED FOR LAST NIGHT.

The meeting of the police commission scheduled to take place last night was postponed on account of the lack of a quorum. The only commissioner present at the contemplated session was Chairman Parker. After waiting thirty minutes Chairman Parker announced that the meeting was postponed until next Mon day night at o'clock.
 Chairman Parker stated that he had in- structed Chief Wier to reinstate Police man Walter Bennett pending an investga- ton by the commission. MT. Parker said that Bennett had made two applications to be heard on the charges against him, and each time the commission either failed to convene on account of the lack of quorum or the hearing was post poned.
 Under conditions existing at present" said MT. Parker. "and the fact that the grand jury did not return an indictment against Policeman Bennett, I believe that he should be given chance on the force. and for this reason I have issued in- structions to the chief of police to rein state Officer Bennett, pending an inves- tgation of the charges against him, grow ing out of the killing of l.. E. Owens Believing that every man should be cred ited with the benefit of all doubt, have requested the chief of police to reinstate the officer mentioned"

IRON PRICES FIRM BUT MARKET QUIET There is Still Necessity for
 Heavy Buying ACTIVITY IN COKE TRADE Number of Consumers in the East and North Are Uncovered for the Next
 Ninety Days-stable
 Conditions.
ACTIVITY IN COKE TRADE

The iron market remains strong at s145o for No. ?, but 1t Is very quiet.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati re- port of yesterdays date says:
 The week has been quieter than the one preceding 1t. but only in method. The results have been equally satisfactory, and in no branch of the iron or steel trade are there indications or anything but the necessity for continued heavy buying Prices are maintaining the same strong level with an advance in some cases made necessary by the condition of fur mace order books and pressure upon pro- ducers.
 The recent scare in eastern financial circles was too artificial and far removed to have any effect on general conditions These are too stable to be influenced by such remote cause.
 It was inevitable that during the last two months number of buying inter ests were in evidence on account of moi
 
 having made sufficient provision when iron was lower. The last two weeks have brought thls class into prominence, ano although they bought at the beginning o1 the advance the confidence In the future was not such as to cause them to cover for any great length of time, and they again become heavy buyers. It is a source of surprise that number of consumers In the east and north are still uncovered for the next ninety days, but this Is saio to be a fact and will serve to keep up the demands which are being made on fur naces At a recent meeting of eastern pie iron manufacturers, it was shown thai a majority of the furnaces were sold III for five, and in some cases six, months ahead, and this same is true of centra and southern stacks The pressure beine made on furnaces to make shipments ol iron on contracts Is becoming stronger and they are finding increasing difficult, in meeting buyers wishes on account o | inadequate railroad facilities Malleable Bessemer continues yer, scarce, and there Is urgent demand fol almost any delivery. Locally, there hav' been no large transactions, but the mum | Der of buyers who continue to come int the market keeps up and the aggregate tonnage is well along with the previous month.
 There Is the greatest possible activity in the coke trade, and 1t Is remarkable that there are still some blast furnaces which have not yet closed for their cok' supply for the first half of next year. Il the Connellsville region, practically ever! oven Is in blast that can be operated, ant the output Is proceeding at the rate O l 15. .Ooo,o 900 tons per annum. If no unto ward circumstances prevent, the district l likely to break records this year.
 At all coke centers there is much diff ficulty in making shipments, and this il | interfering with larger output, ever, pound of which would be rapidly absorbed could 1t be delivered to those who ar anxiously waiting for 1t

 The team will be accompanied by a squad of rooters, and while outweighed by the Marion men, will make hard fight The High school boys, while aver aging only little over 125 pounds, have made phenominal record this year.

KEEN INTEREST IN
 REPUBLICAN FIGHT
MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE TO THE PRESIDENT AS TO HOW THE PIE IN ALABAMA SHOULD BE SERVED.

Considerable speculation is being in- dulged in around the government building and in state republican circles relative to the action of President Roosevelt In the appointment of a successor to Lee J. Bry- an of Montgomery. United States marshal for the Middle district of Alabama.
 At one time the re-appointment of MT. Bryan was authorized but for some req son it is being held up.
 The avowed aspirants for the place are J. IL Judkins, assistant United States marshal for the Middle district, and Jospeh P. Burton. Capt. Charles H. Scott, one of the referees of federal patronage, Is in Washington urging the appointment of MT. Burton, while Judge Thomas G. Jones' who is recognized as one of the Presidents advisers relative to Alabama affairs, is said to favor the appointment of MT. Judkins.
 The position of Joseph c. Thompson, the other referee for the state, cannot be as- certained on the matter as he Is at pres ent down in Wilcox county where he l' looking after his farming interests in that section of the state. MT. Thompson Is expected to return home today.
 Some time ago President Roosevelt an nouneed that he would appoint Pope Long of Cordova to succeed B. M. Cooper as marshal for the Northern Alabama dis trict which lead many to declare that the referees were solid with the administra- ton
 Although MT. Thompson has not taken i'm the fight for MT. Burton's appoint ment Captain Scott is exerting every et- fort in his behalf. The outcome or the supposed fight between the two sources of consultation by the President in regard to patronage in Alabama, Is being watch ed with a keen interest.

JEWS CELEBRATE 25OTH ANNIVERSARY Landed in America Quarter of 2 Millennium Ago THEIR HISTORY IN COUNTRY Made Brave Soldiers in Revolutionary War. War of 1912 and the Civil
 War-Setted In the
 South.
 
THEIR HISTORY IN COUN TRY

Special services were held last night at Temple Emanuel and the congregation of the temple and Israel Knesseth united in services commemorating the landing of the Jews in America 250 years ago. De- spite the indictment weather a large au- dience was present, and the excellent musical programme was greatly enjoyed.
 Services were. held throughout the United States yesterday and last night in celebration of the day which was of un- usual interest to the Jews in America. After the usual preliminary service, with the organ prelude, Mrs. M. Flies sang a solo, "The Lord Is My Light" Rabbi Newfield spoke on "The Jew in America" ]" and his description of the Jewish history was interesting in the extreme. Among other things he said;
 American Israel celebrates today the anniversary of an event that is pregnant with historical associations and spiritual possibilities to the Jew; an event that has also depotency to dispel many erronious ideas based on ignorance. A quarter of a millennium has passed since the time when the Jews first settled within the present boundary of our land. It has ever been a popular falicy that the Jew is a recent arrival on American soil, that he is new conner on this continent, that he was unwilling to undergo the hardships of pioneer life, that he did not participate | in the developments of the colonial period, nor contribute to the success of Ameri- can independence. hence his rights are in- ferior in antiquity to those of our popula- l tion who have other racial or religious | affinities. While the Jamestown settle ment was in 16O7 the New Amsterdam in 1914, the first settlement in 1855 is certain ly not far behind.
