PAY FOR FRANCHISES
JACKSON ORDINANCE CONSIDERED
 BY COMMITTEE.
It Provides that City Government Must Receive q Percentage of Cross Incomes of Beneficiary
 Corporations.

The ordinance which proposes that no franchises shall be donated to cor porations by the city of Montgomery Is giving aldermen much food for re- fiection and the committee which has the measure under consideration is said to be well satisfied with it's pro- visions. This may mean a favorable report at the next meeting of the coun- ell, the first Monday in June.
 Alderman J. Kirk Jackson is the father of the ordinance which provides that every corporation securing fran chise from the city shall pay percent age of its annual gross income into the chairman of the Councils Committee on Franchises. This committee had a joint meeting at the City Hall yester- day with the Committee on Streets of which Alderman Roemer is chairman. The two committees discussed pro- posed franchises for the Montgomery street railways as well as the various phases of the pay-franchise measure.
 It is understood that no definite ac- ton was taken by the joint committee but 1t is more than probable that an interesting report will go to the coun- ell at Its next meeting from this joint committed.
 The first paragraph of the Jackson pay-franchise ordinance states It's pur- pose in no uncertain language. Be fore any other or further franchises and privileges are granted" 1t says ''by the city of Montgomery to the use of it's streets and sidewalks by per- sons or corporations. the council shall advertise for bids for such rights. the cost of such advertisement to be paid by the successful bidder"
 The ordinance next provides that no bids for such franchises will be &C., cepted unless 1t Is offered to pay to the city certain percentages of the gross annual incomes to be derived from the corporation or persons se- curing the franchise. It also provides owners to be affected by the franchise must be obtained and filed with the council.
 As a further protection to the city the ordinance requires the corporation or persons securing franchises to file with the City Clerk an acceptance in writing of the terms of the ordinance for $5,000 with the City Clerk to be forfeited if the corporation or persons fall to comply with the ordinance
 In addition to the certified check the corporation or persons securing franchises must make bond for $5,O0O to indemnify the city against lawsuits in collecting the percentage of the in- come. They are also required to make an annual report of their receipts to the mayor on October 1st of each year.
 The ordinance has created quite a stir among street railway officials and other local corporations and 1t will no doubt meet with opposition.
 Alderman Jackson said yesterday that his ordinance was introduced merely as a groundwork for some plan to collect a revenue for franchises. He was perfectly willing. he said, for it 1 to be amended, if it was possible for the city to put a stop to the practice l of giving it's streets over to corpora tions without any return whatever.

GOVERNOR GOES AWAY
HE LEAVES FOR AsHEvILLE, N. O.,
 FOR TEN DAYS.
Chief Executive Travelled Alone-Hfs Health is Better than at any Time Since He was In
 Southwest,

Governor Jelks left Montgomery for Asheville. N. C.. at 6:45 o'clock yes- | terday evening to be absent ten days, North Carolina resort about o'clock this morning.
 Yesterday was a busy day for the Governor and he spent most of the day receiving visitors in his private office. There was no rush to clear up the ex- ecutive routine business because the Governor has made 1t clear that 1t is his intention to keep in close touch daily with his office by long distance telephone. For example, he received a delegation of Henry county citizens late yesterday evening who sought a pardon for a white convict. The pa pers will be examined by the Governor in Asheville and he may telephone Private Secretary J. K. Jackson this afternoon his decision in the matter. He will in fact communicate with his Private Secretary by telephone each day during his absence.
 Governor Jelks has visited Asheville before but has never remained there more than two or three days.
 If like the place." he said yester- day ''and find that the climate and the
 
 turn there later In the season taking Mrs. Jelks and our daughter with me and stay there throughout the summer. Of course I would come to the capitol often enough to keep within the law which requires that shall not leave the State for more than twenty days without arranging for the conduct of the office by the Lieutenant Governor"
 The Governor added that he had not abandoned entirely the Idea of spend ing a part of the summer at Loring Springs or some other mountain resort of Alabama. These places, however, he said, are so inaccessible that he may decide on North Carolina notwith- standing his strong desire to pass the summer months inside the State. He pointed out that owing to the train connections one could reach Asheville quicker than he could reach Loring Springs from Montgomery.
 State officials about the capitol who called at the executive department in the afternoon to wish the Governor a safe and pleasant trip were received in cordial fashion by Governor Jelks who was in excellent spirits. He said he was not sick and his visit to North Carolina had not been suggested by a physician He merely thought, he said that it would be desirable for his health's sake to spend the summer in higher latitude.
 Some one suggested that the Gov ernor appeared to be in as good health as he had been since he had been the Governor of the State.
 T don't believe" he replied cheerily as he loIled back in the big executive chair smoking a briarwood pipe, that I ever felt better in my life. I weigh ten or fifteen pounds more than I did when I returned from New Mexico. My appetite is good and I sleep well I'm just going to North Carolina to be quiet and rest"
 He said that his trip to North Caro- lima would be limited to ten days when he would return direct to Montgomery to stay here for at least week before deciding on a permanent resort for the summer.

ARGUMENT CONTINUES.
Railroad Litigation Is Still Before
 Judge A. ID. Sayre.


 Judge A. D. Sayre, presiding over the City Court of Montgomery in equi- ty yesterday heard the continuation of arguments in the case of Henry B. Gray ct als. vs. the South and North Alabama Railroad Company.
 In this hard fought railroad litiga- tion speeches were yesterday made by Fred S. Ball of Montgomery and Gregory L. Smith of Mobile, represent ing the South and North Railroad. The argument will probably be closed today. It vii lbe remembered that several months ago, Henry B. Gray as a minori- ty stockholder secured a temporary in- junction to prevent the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, owners of 90 per cent of the stock of the South and North Railroad Company from yot- ing that stock for the purchase of the South and North by the Louisville and Nashville at $27.50 per share and ask ing for the appointment of a receiver His bill also prayed that the ac- counting of the financial affairs of the South and North then being made in the Chancery Court of Jefferson County be enjoined.

AT w1NoNA LAKE.
Forms of Service and Temperance are
 DfaeuAaed.

Forms of Service and Temperance are
 Discussed.
 Winona Lake, Ind, May 26.--Both sessions of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church were devoted almost entirely to discussion of the re- port of the Committees on the Forms of Service and that on Temperance {. For three hours the report on forms of service was debated by at least 100 speakers, chief among which were Dr. Henry Van Dyke, chairman of the com mittee and author of The Book of Prayers" and Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court. The de- bate was about equally divided, with the result that the report, together with '"The Book of Prayers" which it was suggested should be adopted by the General Assembly as a part of a fixed form of service, was referred to an en- larged committed Resolutions adopt ed In conjunction with debate on the report provide: "In case the enlarged committee reports definite and satis- factory completion of their work dur ing the present year. we authorize the publication of the Book of Worship by the Board of Publication and Sunday School Work. in order that the churches may have the opportunity to consider and test the book of forms and prayers; and the committee is to make It's final report LO the next dbnSTul ASSeTnDlY.
 After the action on the report, Dr. Van Dyke said that he was satisfied, although he had spent two years in pre- pairing the report which was offered, and the revision would entail much ad- ditional work
 The Assembly closed late in the af- ternoon with a vigorous debate over the resolutions offered by the temper ance committee. The debate was pre- cfnffafad hU fha Rev Afford of Fraser, Pa, who declared that there is one Presbyterian University which permits its students to buy intoxicating liquors from a resort near the campus. He asked the Assembly to pass a reso- lution which would stop the practice. When a commissioner was asked that the university be named on the floor of the Assembly, he was answered by cries of 'No," and during the debate the name of the school was not spoken. A resolution condemning the use of to- bacco and the manufacture and sale of cigarettes resulted in spirited argu- ments, but was finally adopted, as was a resolution censuring the management of any college or university permitting the students to drink intoxicating liquors.
 Rev. W. H. Roberts, stated clerk, de- clared today that the Assembly will complete It's work about l p. m. The Moderator named today the following committee to confer with the Wash ington Presbytery relative to Justice project for a central church at tho national capital: Justice Harlan, Rev. F. L.

 IS DEFEATED Southern PreSbyterianS
 Not Ready Yet. A VOTE OF g TO s1 Question Referred Back to
 Committee. General Assembly at Fort Worth Ad- journs to Meet Next at Green viiie, s. C.-severaI Report.
 Are Presented.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 26.-The for ty-hfth general assembly of the South- ern Presbyterian church adjourned this afternoon. Moderator Plunkett de- clared 1t dissolved at 5:3O and at the same time called the next session to meet at Greenville. S. C.. at il a. m., on the third Tuesday in May, 1908.
 The question of federation with oth- CT branches of the church was long drawn out and when the end came 1t was as far from a final settlement as at any time during the debate which preceded the vote. There is an irrecon- cflable element in the church that forcefully manifested itself which is opposed to federation and there ia an element slightly stronger that favors 1t, but neither side could muster the necessary strength to definitely set- tie the matter. In the end the ques- ton. by vote of 93 to S1, was mere ly referred back to its committee to which were added three more mem bers. The committee was instructed to bring another plan of federation be- fore the next assembly.
 An amendment offered by Dr. Eu- gene Daniel to the federation com- mtttee's report discontinuing the Ques- ton of federation was lost and his substitute amendment that the general assembly should declare its inability to accept the plan of federation out lined by the joint conference commit tee at Pittsburg, Pa. last January was also lost.
 The Vote Close. The vote on the question of union was close one. Four ballots were taken before a decision was reached, the last one being taken by calling the roll when the vote stood 93 to S1 in favor of the report of the commit tee which, however, was insufficient for final settlement.
 The greater portion of the after noon session was taken up with routine work
 On the question of a definition of the terms commission' and "commit- tee" the minority report, by the com mittee appointed on the subject at the general assembly of 1902, was adopted.

 Other matters of minor importance were taken up and disposed of as rap idly as they could be read before the assembly, the final adjournment being taken at 5:S0 o'clock.
