The annual convention of Alabama Division, Travelling Passenger Agents, | adjourned sine die, this evening on board the bay steamer James A. Carney, while cruising on the waters of beautiful Mobile Bay, after de- lightful visit to Point Clear. The convention was a most enthusiastic | one, and President DeWees predicted much good would result therefrom. The deliberations on all matters, while
 at times spirited, were most harmoni- | ous.
 The convention was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning, President
 Dewees in the chair. Chaplain Hard
 wick of Post B, Birmingham. offered the invocation. The attendance was
 small, owing perhaps to many dele
 gates being out sightseeing. President Charles Hess of Post c, offered a motion that card cases, ap-
 propriately designed, be purchased by the division, for use of new members. The motion was lost.
 After considerable discussion an ap-
 propriation of $25 was made for the purchase of suitable badges to be worn by delegates to the national conven-
 tions which are to be the regulation | badge. The Craft resolution offered yester- day seeking the cooperation of the Alabama Travellers Protective Associa-
 tion in the good roads movement and
 which was adopted yesterday, came up
 as unfinished business. The president | announced the committee as follows: |. c. Cardinal, Post A; J. W. Daughter | ty, Post B.; J. w. Weiss, Post c; J. L.. Clay, Post D; S. s. Caldwell, Post E; J. K. Milner. Post F; L. Meyer, Post | G; L. G. Marschuitz. Post H.
 After the delegates had called on the secretary and arranged for proper signing of their transportation an ad- | journment was ordered until 2:3O o'clock. the hour for assembling on board the Carney for the bay outing. President Max Hamburger, Jr., Of the Commercial Club, was visitor to the
 convention hall this morning and was | introduced by Senator J. w. Weiss. President Hamburger, after ac-
 knowledging the introduction, spoke of | the movement of the Alabama division,
 looking to securing the next national
 convention for Alabama He assured | the convention that, in the event Mo bile is thus honored, the Commercial Club and other business associations

 reception befitting the occasion anu in
 accord with the well known hospitali-

 During the arranging of transporta- | tion the convention was at ease and
 general conversation followed. The Carney returned to the city at | 9 o'clock tonight. The excursionists reporting having had fine time. On | the return trip the Association voted | hearty thanks to Post c, the press and | the people of Mobile for the hospitable
 entertainment accorded them and ad- | journed sine die.
 Only one case was down on the call
 in the City Court this morning, that oi

 venire of 100 talesmen had been sum-
 moned and these. with the witnesses | made a large attendance. c. J. Torrey

 l Solicitor Webb then stated that MT ] Torrey had written the court from
 Monroeville that 1t would be impossible | for him to reach Mobile for the trial l Judge Lackland, the judge for Monroe | County. had been taken seriously i'll | and Special Judge Aston being en- | gagged eiseWhere, the GoVsrnment nae | appointed him as special judge. He

 would not impose the extra cost on
 the county in calling a special session l This was agreeable to counsel for the
 defense and a continuance to the next | nd iol | nire dismissed.
