EXTRA SESSION
 |S DECLARED OFF. Taft Reads Telegram from the
 President CONGRESSMEN RELIEVED Presidents Aspirations for Railway Rate and Tariff Legislation VIII
 Probably Be Defeated
 By Delay.

washh,gtoA. August is.-(special)-A cable dispatch today state that Secretary Taft yesterday read at luncheon a dis patch from President Roosevelt announc- Ing that there would be no extra ses- sion of Congress, whereupon, 1t went on to say, there was loud applause from the congressional members of the party.
 This dispatch gave definite informa- tion of the abandonment of the extra ses- sion plan. intimation of which came from Oyster Bay the other day. It will relieve the anxiety of the congressman. For some months it has been case of Now you see it and now you don't" with that extra session. First there would be au- thentic news that the President had de- clared with emphasis that he would have 1t, then Senator Knox, Speaker Cannon or some of the other sNlnd-patters would drift east and there would be state ment that it was all off and so it switch ed back and forth.
 The belief prevails among the most ex- perienced of the ultra-conservatives that they will be able to defeat the Presi- dent in his aspirations for effective rail- way and tariff legislation. They think they will be able to tire him out. This belief is based upon their estimate of his character. These statesmen go on to say that they think the President will be- come impatient if he cannot win a swift and brilliant victory, and that with the power of infinite delay which the Sem ate rules invest them they will daily along and worry him with hope defer red until he may give up the campaign or turn to other issues. The plan of the railroad people in their campaign of Try ing out' the President includes long discussion of department scandals, a series of investigations by congressional committees. some lively rows between Congress and the departments over ap- propriations and expenditures and the discussion of such stray subjects as the fates may send them from time to time. Of course, there will be occasional ad- vertence to tariff and the railways, with committees looking into questions that are raised. But the main purpose will be delay and postponement by debate.

CHIEF WEIR MAKES WRITTEN REQUEST Wants License of Saloon Re- voked by Council WAS NOT DISCUSSED Clerk of City Council Failed to Read Letter From Chief Wler at
 Last Nights Meet
 Ing.
WAS NOT DISCUSSED

Chief of Police Weir has written an official letter to the board of mayor and aldermen asking that the license of the Senate saloon be revoked. The request was to have been read at the meeting of the council last night, but City Clerk Murray failed to read the communica- ton tor some unknown reason. After the mee,ing the mayors attention was called to the failure to read the let ter ano he stated that he diG not know the reason that it was not read, but that he would find out. MT. Murray had all ready left the building. however, and tho mayor was not able to obtain the infor- nation. In short introduction the chief stntes that he desires to call the atten- tion of ths council to cer ain conditions existing at the saloon. IT, his state'neI t e treso conditions he says;

This room has a getaway which goes out or the window on top of the roof the get away being protected on one side by wall and on the other by building. and goes into another building on First ave nue, and 1t is impossible for the officers ordinarily to get into this other building or to get to the getaway to catch any one whom 1t is desired to arrest in those rooms for gambling or violating the laws against gaming.

psERvE CORPORATIONS
 RATHER THAN PEOPLE.

These men are not personally dis honest but their environments are such that they serve the corporations rather than the people. For these reasons l am in favor of electing United States senators by direct vote of the people. The weakest point in the United States gov ernment is the United State sSenate, and it is the weakest point for the reasons that I have stated. The Senate Is dom mated by men who represent privilige. This is not true of southern senators, but 1t is true of a great many western and eastern senator's The remedy is to elect senators by popular vote.
 MT. Underwood then pointed out in detail how the great railway lines wracked and wrecked the people by freight rate discriminations He spoke especially of the 'private car" and ''pri- vate switch and private railway abuses, saying that there was no legal means of fighting the wrongs worked by such devices of the railways.
 we live under a government of law" said Mir Underwood, and we need to enact legislation that vii make impos- sible these diseriminations in freight rates. I am in favor of giving the inter- state commerce commission the power to fix rates as well as the merely ad- yisory power.'

NE WANT AT LEAST

They are den andlng rate 20 per cent lower t;.an the one they now have; ani get |. straight that Hoke Smith, who is cad ing the people in Georgia in this hs t against ihe railroads Is going to win the eovernorst ,p handsdown. We do not ask now for Alabama what Hoke Smith de- mands for Georgia. We ask only for the present Georgia rate-the rate against which patriotic sons of Georgia have rebelled. Isn't that fair proposition? Isn't it a reasonable request on your part? Isn't it just demandf
 "I want to tell you, my fellow cti- zens, that we have got tremendous fight on our hands. It will take the whole power of the state government to meas ure up successfully against the railroads, entrenched as they are by privilege and power and held together as they are by the cohesive power of systematic plunder. You are not fighting baby. They are giants and they will exhaust every re- source in order to win. The stake they are fighting for is worth s3300O,OO0. Do you think they're going to give up the fight without a struggle? They never give up until beaten. They never yield until forced to do so"

CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD
 ADDRESSES CONSTITUENTS.

Representative Underwood was warm ly welcomed by his constituents of Blount county when he was introduced to speak. After thanking them for the man. ner in which they had so long supported and endorsed him by re-electing him to Congress, MT. Underwood congratulated them that they had earnestly attacked the problem of improving the county roads.
 He pointed out the importance of i'm proved highways In developing easy and rapid transportation. saying that they improved the social life of community, multiplied eourtesies among the people, strengthened the religious spiri tand built up the educational development of the county He stressed also the importance of good and numerous schools, and in- voked the good people of Blount to see to it that every school child was pro- vided with an opportunity to get pri- mary school education at their very doors.
 Returning to the subject of transporta- tion, MT. Underwood proceeded to dls- cuss the national aspect of transporta- ton and took occasion to advocate rail- way regulation by federal authority. He said that he would leave the subject of state regulation of railways to be dis cussed by local officials and that in the solution of the problem would himself adopt a policy of non-interference.

JUDGE cAsToN ASKS
 MIR. COMER SOME QUESTIONS.

MT. Conner was interrupted at this point by Judge Gaston, senior member of the firm of Gaston & Curtis of Birmingham with a request to ask a question. MT Conner said he would welcome any and all questions-all he wanted, said he' was the truth.
 ''Is 1t, in your judgment, possible, MT Conner" said Judge Gaston, Ito obtain railway regulation and reform unless the state has a governor, lieutenant governor, a legislature and railroad commission that are heartily and sincere ly in favor of such a movement"
 'It is not possible said MT Conner promptly, Ito put through this reform unless we have a governor lieutenant governor, legislature and commission that are heart and soul in favor of the cause"
 "Will you permit lust one other ques- tion?" asked Judge Gaston.
 Certainly"
 Judge Castor then. speaking very de- hberately, said:
 Do you think that there is in the state of Alabama any other man who, as candidate for governor. can crys- tallize public sentiment in favor of rail- way rate reform as effectively as can B. B. Comer?"
 The question startled the audience all of whom intently awaited an answer.

BUT FOUR DEATHS
 ARE RECORDED

He is reluctant to invoke the law against recalcitrant citizens or physicians until all other measures have been exhausted An instance of this attitude is the case of a man in the Ninth ward who re- sisted attempts to disinfect and screen his house. Dr. White said he would not force an affidavit until the man had a chance to reconsider his position. Dr. White said he came here to obtain re- suits and while he had full authority to use the law he preferred to avoid all antagonisms if possible.
 In Charge of Inspection Service.
 Prof A. L. Metz of Tulane university, was today put in full charge of the or ganization of the inspection service. Un- der his direction squads will inspect all houses to see that cisterns have been screened and sanitary conditions en- forced When the squads have been fully organized and drilled they will be turn ed over to the surgeons in each of the wards.
 In response to it's inquiry the state oyster commission in session today receiv- ed a letter from President Souchon of the state board of health promising his cooperation in the work of removing obstacles to the opening of the oyster season on September l. It Is anticipated that some arrangement will be made that will enable both the local trade and the canneries to be supplied
 Vaudeville Still Open.
 The result of heated election at Man deville reached the city today. Mande- vile Is in St. Dammany parish, on the Tchefuncta river, on the opposite side of Lake Pontchartrain. It has never had yellow fever to any extent. and as It is a summer resort to which large numbers of New Orleans people go annually, 1t de- cided to keep an open door when the fever first appeared here. The more timid of the resident population, however, fa- vored a quarantine and whether or not the door should be kept open or closed was feature of the town campaign for municipal officers. The result was vic- tory for the candidates who championed the cause of free intercourse with New Orleans.
 When the marine hospital service took hold of the situation 1t was feared that at full tide the work would require 100 men. Between 300 and sO0 men are now employed and the number is gradually be- ing increased.

He said he had troubles of his own.' He declined to help me. Now said MT. Conner, hotly, If had been governor would have furnished counsel on that occasion. Again, Dr. Cum ningham, while acting governor. wrote letter saying that if my figures were correct he would call a special session of the legislature and revise the rates. He said he didn't know whether my hg- ures were correct or not. We'll, do know. I knew then--and if elected governor l will know what to do and will not stipu- late any such conditions.

being capable of being shut up almost like jail.
 Persons who have the reputation of being gamblers hang around the saloon and resort to those rooms. One Seigei and one James seem to be trying to run upstairs although from time to time Mir. Johnston, the proprietor of the Sen ate saloon, carries the keys and takes control of the upstairs. .
 Fight on Saloon.
 About two months ago, there was fight In the saloon, which was the result of gaming on a pool table in the saloon; pistols were exhibited, and shots were fired the public streets. About one month ago MT. Rutherford, the bar keeper, and two others were convicted and fined for violating the Sunday law. About three weeks ago Tom McCabe. who Is apparently employed here, insult ed and cursed a police officer in the front part of the saloon, using profane language loud enough to attract the at tention, and the same did attract gem eral attention. McCsbe was arrested and ! fined. He has continuously since that | time, from time to time been behind the bar and around in the place gener- ally, and he carries the keys to the rooms above. On the night of the 14th, Mccabe insulte. and cursed another police off cer, in the discharge of his duties, in ] the front part of the saloon and on the sidewalk, for which he was arrested.
 "The saloon Is situated in one of the most public places in the city of Bir- l mingham. to-wit.: Twentieth street, be- i tween First and Second avenues, on the west side of said street.
 T respectfully submit that the facts stated constitutes a nuisance, and l re- spectfully recommend, if consistent with the views of this board, that the license l of said saloon be revoked"
 The communication will probably come
 up at the next meeting of the council.
