MEMBERS RELEASED.
Another Turn i'm Missouri Deadlock for
 Senator.

Jefferson City Mo-. March 13.-At q caucus tonight attended by fifty-thres Republican members of the legislature in an endeavor to break the deadlock over the selection of a United States Senator. a resolution was adopted bind- ing the members to vote at the joint sessions of the legislature for two consecutive days for the candi(Stes tho receive forty-seven votes in the eau GUS balloting.
 This means that the members of the legislature are released from the cau- GUS action when Niedrnghaus was nominated for the senatorship. Tho Keren Republicans took no part in to- nights caucus and it is regarded as extremely improbable that they will agree to desert Kerens for any selec- tion the Niedringhaus men may make for a compromise candidate.
 The balloting resulted in the selec- tion of Judge S. P. Spencer of St. Louis as the choice of the cancus and accord ing to the agreement the ballots of the fifty-three Republicans present at the caucus tonight at least will be cast for him for the next two days.

xv,tharnvaI Recommended.

New York, March 13.-The National Board of Fire Underwriters at spe- cial- meeting today resolved to recom- mend the withdrawal of all fire insur- ance business in the State of Arkansas. This action was taken because of the proposed enforcement of the anti-com- pact law by the Arkansas Legislature. The bill becomes operative March 2S and if not repealed by that date all policies written in the State of Ar kansas will be cancelled.
 The new law, to which the insurance companies are subject, is an antitrust measure which is designed to prevent. among other things, agreement on unl- form rates of fire insurance by com panies doing such business in Arkan- sas The companies feel that 1t will seriously damage their business in the State: hence this action Is advisory rather than binding, but the board ex- poets that the companies represented by 1t will adopt the measure recommend ed The companies can withdraw their policies at any time they choose.
 This meeting was called at the in- stance of the Law Committee of the National Board and it was understood that when the matter first came up that counsel for the board had advised it's members that the new Arkansas law was unconstitutional and that the in- surance companies would fight 1t on that ground. Today's action makes 1t a point. however. that the National Board will disregard the laws constitu- tionally.
 About thirty of the 200 odd members of the National Board were present at the meeting. All of the companies doing business in Arkansas were rep resented

SENSATIONAL ALLEGATION.
Mrs. Cody Hoped to Control Husband
 by Use of Drug,

Denver. March 13.-Thc allegation that Mrs. Cody threatened to give her husband. Colonel William r. Cody Buffalo BilD drug to bring him un- der her control has been reported in q deposition made in this city by Mrs. Helen Cody Wetwore. a sister of the colonel. to be filed in his divorce suit in the Wyoming court
 Mrs, Cody told me-" said Mrs. Wet more, that she had obtained a drug of some character from a clairvoyant and that she intended to give 1t to Colonel Cody in order to get control over him: that she thought herself a better manager of the property than the colonel anu that she wanted to get control of all the property at all haz- ards"

A Symphony Orchestra.

Birmingham is to have a symphony orchestra and professional and non- professional musicians of the city will take part therein.
 Professor Rienza Thomas. the we'll known musician, has undertaken the work of organizing such an orchestra and a preliminary meeting has been held at the Cable Company's hall. Some of the best musicians of the city have promised to assist in the orchestra, which will make an effort to establish a more ardent love for music in this city. Professional work is not intend ed, but music for the art will be in dulged in.
 Mir Thomas is pleased with the pros- poets for a symphony orchestra. New Orleans, Atlanta and other Southern Icities have symphony orchestras and 1t is set forth that Birmingham is able to support such an organization.
 While it is proposed to take up the study and rendition of classical music Strauss waltzes and such music which is above the average, and always pop ular will be rendered. It is recalled that Theodore Thomas. who lived long enough to establish a fine symphony orchestra in Chicago, at one time played the Strauss waltZes and other music, securing through that means the ear of the public. Later on nothing
 but classical music was rendered by Thomas, but often he was quoted as saying that the Strauss music struck a popular chord and brought attention | to the work and his intentions from the public.
 It is believed that between fifty and seventy five musicians. professional and otherwise, can be found in Birmingham
 and the majority of them will take part | in d symphony orchestra and through
 such an organization bring about 6
 better study and love for music. Another meeting will be held in the
 near future and the plans set on foo put into further consideration.

REPORTS NOT TRUE.
Japan Says She Has Not violated Chi
 mas Neutrality,


 Washington, March 13.-From the Foreign Offlce at Tokio the Japanese Legation has received a dispatch bear Ing on the reports that the Russian Government has again drawn the atten- tion of the powers with statement to the effect that the imperial troops were guilty of violation of Chinas neutral ity, as their appearance behind the Russian army in the western part of Fentien province must have been eff fected by taking route through Mon golla.
 As a matter of fact" the Japanese dispatch from .Tokio says, the impe- rial forces have never passed through Mongolian territory, while Russia has long been drawing supplies from Mon golia and always has been sending there disguised or armed troops which intimidating native princes and people, have caused them to render assistance to the, Russians in the rear"
 The dispatch from Tokio points out the following as the facts in evidence:
 "First--From the beginning of the war till last July Russia had at Hala- tokai and Lesserkoulon and in Khor- chin district under the Jurisdiction of Prince of Hintu some 200 soldiers de- tailed for requisitioning horses and cattle
 ''Second--In the latter part of last June a Russian force consisting of some fifty troopers and artillerymen. proceeding from the neighborhood of Tieling and Kaiyuan penetrated into the interior of Mongolia under the rule of Prince Pei, taking their route be- tween ChungchiGtun and Kangan.
 "Third--In last September body of Russian soldiers, together with a num- Der of Manchurian and Mongolian sol diers, under their employ. proceeded westward from the neighborhood of Tieling, guarding 300 carts laden with arms and ammunition, and passing through that part of Mongolia which is administered by the Prince of Hintu to Paknoshu near Lesserkoulon. At Raknoshu they met with resistance at the hands of the Chinese officials and people, and being defeated had the ann intuition confiseated by the magistrate of the Chaoyang district.
