WIDE SCOPE OF TENN.
 AND REPUBLIC MERGER

The consolidation of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company and the Re public Iron and Steel company will mean a vast outlay of new capital in the Bir- mlnsham distdict. It is stated on high authority that fully s15.OOoOO0 will be expended on construction, including man. moth blast furnaces, steel mills and plants for the manufacture of finished product of various kinds.
 When the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company first passed into new hands it was believed that general mer- ger of all the furnace companies in Ala bama would speedily follow, but now it is said to be the purpose of the syndicate in control of the Tennessee and the Re- public to combine only these two proper ties and await developments before at tempting to get control of the Sloss- Sheffield and other concerns.
 It may be a surprise to many per
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-16

sons prominent in the industrial life of the Birmingham district to learn that the controlling syndicate will merge not only the Alabama end of the Republic with the Tennessee company, but the Youngstown. Ohio plants and all the other northern plants of the Republic. Some of the strong men in the syndicate are said to have opposed the inclusion of the north ern properties. but the majority decided on the plan of combining with the Tennes- see company the entire Republic com pany. Unless the present programme Is changed, the consolidation will be com pleted just so soon as the necessary de- tails can be arranged
 At a meeting of the Tennessee board next week John W. Gates and other mem- bers of the new syndicate will be elected in the place of directors who will resign. James T. Woodward, as stated in the Age-Herald yesterday. will remain on the board.

WITNESSES REFUSE
 ANY INFORMATION
TWO PEOPLE IN THE EMPLOY OF nuMMELL REFUSE TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM IN TRIAL NOW IN PROGRESS.

New York, December 15-The trial of Abraham H. Hummell, lawyer, on charges of conspiracy and subornation of per- jury in connection with the Dodge-Morse divorce case, was marked today by the absolute refusal of two witnesses, one a nephew of the defendant and both em- ployed by him. to answer questions re- lating even indirectly to the charges against Hummell. With the plea that their replies might tend to degrade and incriminate them, the witnesses would not acknowledge acquaintance with anything that had to do with the Dodge-Morse case.
 Captain Morse, the uncle of Charles w. Morse, was at the trial today and will be called as a witness Charles w. Morse married Mrs. Dodge after her divorce. In his address to the jury outlining what the prosecution expected to prove, MT. Rand stated that Captain Morse initiated the move to have the Dodge divorce in validated in order that the marriage of his nephew to a divorced woman might be annulled. He declared also that Cap-l tain Morse had put up more than $50,000 to carry on the proceedings, and had been deceived throughout by Hummel.
 The court adjourned until tomorrow after a mass of documentary evidence bearing on the divorce and annullment proceedings had been introduced

anna railroad is illegal, declaring it amounted to an issue of bonds by the Pan anna canal commission
 But they are executive agents, mere in- struments in the hands of the President and the commission. Who elected them ?'' shouted Mr Tillman.
 The stockholders said MT. Allison.
 Merely instruments.
 But the United States is the only stock holder. The whole thing amounts to noth- ing more than increasing the public debt of the United States in way in which you all know'-here Mr. Allison interrupted,
 That may be. though technically
 '' Technically, repeated MT. Tillman. "Oh yes technically I suppose they were all right. Technically Taft was a king in the Philippines But we are degenerating far away from absorbing people in our management of these affairs
 MT. Tillman argued finally that, Con- gress should say whether this debt should be created He thought the money was needed but said he did not like the way it was being obtained
 MT. Tillman had read a newspaper publi- cation alleging importation into the canal zone of women from Martinique for im- moral purposes; that a government ship had been used, and that canal officials in the canal zone had sanctioned the transaction. MT, Lodge to say that he had considered the charge that govern ment vessel had been used in matter so monstrous; that he talked over the tele- phone with the secretary of war, and that official had authorized him to say, the charge was a lie."
 Mir Tillman replied that he would be willing to accept the Secretary's state ment concerning a matter in regard to which he has personal information, but as he has no such information in this case, he thought there should be an inyestiga- ton. The Senate agreed to request presented by MT. Allison that the bill should be voted upon before adjournment tomorrow.
 At 4:50 o'clock the Senate went into ex- ecutive session, adjourning at 5:55 D. m.

H. Clay Evans, formerly consul general at London. in which MT. Evans wrote to the committee that he had paid an annual premium. S202 for ten years, On a straight life policy. At the end of ten years he wrote. the Provident society increased the rate 25 per cent.
 MT. Moir later explained that the policy of Mr. Evans was Issued in 1890 for sl0.oO0 and that MT. Evans paid $202 a year in premiums on it for eight years when the premium was increased to s252. and Mir. Evans refused to pay it and allowed 1t to lapse. He got nothing on 1t as the surplus on 1t had been used to keep the premiums level. MT. Moir said the early premiums were too small when com pared with those of other companies.
 President Scott testified that it is his practice at the end of the year when he wanted to make his report to the in- surance department to induce the agents to return their advances as far as possi- ble, and then make new advances to them on the first part of the next year.
 MT. Hughes also read a complaint from an Illinois man who said that his yearly premium on a Prevalent Society policy had been raised from $794 to over $40 which, the complainant wrote, was pro- hibitive. The company, he said, allowed no cash surrender value on them, and that the agents had represented that dividends would keep the premium rate down.
 Mir Moir In his testimony said that the policy of this class issued by the Provi- dent society prior to 1889 were segregated as a class and compelled to pay higher than was expected, and because later pol icles gave assurance subject to 8 condi- tion that the rates on the later ones will not be increased. It was reported to the holders of these policies. witness said that dividends on surplus would be ap- piled to a reduction of the premiums.
 "So that is another instance" said MT Hughes, "of the fatuity of the attempt to give insurance rates so low that they cannot be maintained. and an attempt to give them by execution of dividends on surplus which will not come true in any thing but extraordinary circumstances.
 The witness said it was so.
 Suppose l told such policyholders just what to expect, how much business do you think you would get?"
 q don't think we would get much" said the witness.
 From Edward W. Scott. president of the Prevalent society, was brought out that the mortality of 1904 was high, and the society would have shown reduc- tion in surplus If the society had not marked up the book value of it's real es- tate to the extent of s1O0,0O0 and added to 1t s13500O in profits on sales of real es- tate and securities. 4efr- The committee adjourned until Monday.

MEETING PLACE CHANGED.
Chattanooga Won't Get General Baptist
 Convention of North America.

Louisville, December 15.-The executive committee of the general Baptist con- vention of North America last night re- scinded it's action in regard to the next meeting place and declined to accept the invitation of Chattanooga to meet there next May.
 The northern members of the commit tee thought it would be unwise to go to Chattanooga owing to the fact that the anniversary meeting of the Northern Bap- tist societies would likely be held in Dayton, O., instead of Cincinnati. The northern members argued that the dele gates to the anniversary meeting would not go from Dayton to Chattanooga. The matter was referred to another commit tee and it will act on invitations that may be extended.

Matthews states that It has become part of the English lan- guage in its widest sense. having sup planted in England expressions which which and is now heard among English speaking people throughout the world that it has been employed in beautiIul cilning years of a mans life; and that 1t has given rise to much picturesque If also to some fantastic writtng.
