Boston, November 15.-Henry M. Whit ney, president of the Boston chamber of commerce, and democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts in the recent election. issued statement to- night in reference to President Roose- velt's remarks to the delegations of the American Boot, Shoe and Leather work CTS who visited the White House today President Roosevelt told the committee that he could not discuss the question freely, and informally, saying that year ago that Henry M. Whitney called on him with reference to tariff matters and later misquoted what the President had said
 After reading the Washington dispatch. Mir. Whitney prepared statement in which he denied that he had wilfully mis- represented the President, or intentionally violated any confidence.
 In the statement MT. Whitney says
 Andrew G. Webster, J. M. Hall and I, constituting subcommittee of the chamber of commerce committee of 100 on reciprocal trade, visited Washington last winter for a conference with the President touching especially the matter of the Hay Bond treaty. l. as chairman of the committee, made an argument for the treaty This argument made refer ence to the advantage of reciprocal treaties with Canada We understood the President to express himself as not unfa- vorable to the Hay-Bond treaty, but de-

CITY COUNCIL DESIRES
 MORE STREET CARS AND
 BETTER GAS PRESSURE

Another attempt was made to get the resolution before a committee and the mayor said he though Mr. Forney had the right to explain his motion to have it considered.
 Alderman O'Neill was of the opinion that 1t was not subject to be treated lightly, and asked MT. Forney if he was willing for the resolution to go to a com mittee. Mir. Forney replied that he was willing provided it would be reported on by the next meeting of the council. AL derman Moore said he did not think the subject of importance enough to add to or take from the license schedule of 1906 and suggested that it go to the mis- cellaneous committee. This motion pre- vailed.
 Alderman O'Neill in making the motion to have the street cas company furnish more dars in the evening wien people are quitting work, said traffic had become so heavy between the hours nientioned that it was almost impossible for the company to handle passengers with the present number of cars. His resolution was un- anlmously passed, and there was a hearty second to the resolution by MT. O'Nelil, which obligated the council to call on the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to supply gas pressure com mensurate with the contract.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-11-16

When the City Council last night adopt ed a resolution calling on the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company to provide more cars for the people be- tween the hours of and o'clock every evening, and another resolution calling on the same company to make it's supply or Illuminating gas sufficient to meet it's franchise contract, Alderman John C. Forney of the Sixth ward made a speech bordering on plea for municipal owner ship. He asked for the consideration of a resolution he introduced some time ago, which seeks to charge a license on the quasi public corporations of the city of per cent of the gross receipts of such corporation
 During Mr. Forneys talk he was inter rupted a number of times by an alderman who was Inclined to think the matter was not of sufficient importance to con sume time for speech, and 1t was sug- gested that 1t go to a comulitee.
 "The time is here, MT. Chairman" said MT. Forney, "when we should consider the proposition. Why not raise the li- cense on the quasi public corporations just as we did in 1904? The charter of Blr- mingham reserves the right and gives the power to the city of Birmingham to charge a license according to the gross receipts at a percentage"

Sergeant Brue.

Sergeant Brue'' as presented at the Jefferson theatre last night by Frank Daniels and his company. proved to be pleasant if not a profitable perform ance of a comedy in which there is much nonsense, plenty of fun anN music that is really tuneful MT. Daniels Is comedian whose popularity Is already established in Birmingham. He was Tn congenial role last night as blundering English bobby who aspires to Win q promotion and fortune by making a great number of arrests, but gets him self into a lot of trouble There are many opportunities for comedian or talent in such a role and MT. Daniels ac- quits himself laughably. His songs were enioved and his absurdities were in happy vein.
 Sergeant Brue" is pre-eminent for It's sweet music. Nearly every song on the programme last night fingered in ones memory, while several were exception ally good. Miss Clara Belle Jerome and charlesworth Meakin rendered a dainty little song in the first act. entitled, "A Cup of Tea" In the second act Put Me in My Little Cell by Messrs. Bon vile, Bennett and Drew, was a musical novelty that made an instantaneous hit The third act was distinguished by Mir Daniels happy song. "I Was Born on a Friday" "Dearie," by Miss Sallie Fisher and chorus. and My Irish Molly. O." sung in capital style by Miss Jerome Miss Fishers rendition of "Dearie' was brilliant She has a strong, flexible voice. that is clear and sweet Her songs gave great pleasure.
 MT. Daniels appeared In the usual musi- cal comedy setting, with the exception that his support was somewhat better than the average, especially as regarded vocal ability. Charles H. Drew was ex- cellent as a cockney criminal. while Miss Fisher, Miss Jerome and MT. Meakin were clever The. costumes and scenery of the final act were attractive.
 Sergeant Brue" will be repeated at the Jefferson theatre tonight. It Is thus far one of the seasons best musical of ferings

While we may have misunderstood the President. I do not see how we could have done so.
