HA Frlend of tle FamiIy.,,

When the company which presented "A Friend of the Family at the Mont gomery Theatre last night has had many more rehearsals the splendid comedy will be produced fin much bet ter style.
 "A Friend of the Family" an adapta- tion from the German, is one of the best laugh-producers ever written. The equipment of MT. Germans company was high class and it was apparent that the actors are skilled but 1t was so patent throughout that the com any had been recently reorganized that the audience was kept on tenter- hooks. Some of the players, notably the leading man. had but a faint recol- lection of the lines he was expected to speak. and the continual prompting of this actor and two or three oth- CTS in the cast. was annoying to the audience as well as to the actors who did know what they were about.
 It is said that MT. Woodside was playing Bartley Swift the first time If this be true he did excellently we'll although the audience which paid its money for a smooth performance could

by the bill which finally passed tha& body and which provide for the admia- sion of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one State and New Mexico as another, leaving Arizona as Terri- tory.
 No action was taken on the state- hood bill at o'clock when 1t was dis placed by the impeachment trial of Judge Swayne.
 Robert L. Henry of Waco, Texas, was the first witness. He testified tha& Judge Swayne walked four block to the court house in Waco. This was offered to show that Judge Swayne had not expended any unnecessary money for travel.
 Manager olmstead had read the pro- visions of Florida statutes relating to suits of ejectment or disqualification of judges. Mir. Olmsted then announced that the case of the house managers was concluded.
 Ex-Senator Anthony Higgins of Deia- ware, made the preliminary statement for Judge Swayne.
 In opening he said that if the ac- cused was found guilty he would be barred from any further career on the bench and from holding any other posi- tion of honor. Taking up the charges Mir Higgins first considered the Flori- da Mcclure case. He placed in the record a number of documents relating to that trial and declared there would have been no contempt proceedings against Belden and Davis if they would have gone into court, as did Judge Pequet, and explained that they had proceeded under the belief that Mrs. swayne had taken title to a part of the property in controversy.
 Mir. Higgins was still speaking when. at 1858 p. m. the court adjourned for the day The. Senate then went into executive session and at SOS ?. m., adjourned.

COunterfeitlng OusfIt Found.

Richmond. Va. Feb. 20.-A counter. feiting outGt operated by convicts was found today in a cell at the State penitentiary. With the find was a number of spurious coins. mostly twenty-five cent pieces. The find was made by officers of the peniten~ tiary. Walter Turptn. a white convict. is said to have been connected with the gang and it is believed that two others were associated with him. ono of them Q life man.
 The coins are perfect as to size. fg. ures and milling but feel greasy and are lacking in weight. It was discovered on investigation thnt the men implicated in the counterfeiting had been using a considerable amount of canned goods and that they melted the tin and the lead from the cans and in this way got most of the metal they used.

THE TRIAL OF SWAYNE
HOUSE MANAGERS ANNOUNCE
 THEIR CASE CLOSED.
Ex-senatOr Higgins of Delaware, COuR- sell for Florida Judge, Makes the Preliminary Statement in
 Ills Defense.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Whether the Senate conferees on the Statehood bill will represent the party that defeated joint Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico or the party that fought for the retention of that provision was debated at length today in the Senate, but no decision was reached. The usual manner is to name as conferees the two ranking majority members and the ranking minority members of the committee having the bill in charge. In the present case 1t was contended by Senator German and Tel Ter that the conferees if so named, would not represent the sentiment for the bill as passed by the Senate.
 The arguments were interrupted by the converting of the Senate as a court to hear the Swayne impeachment charges. but will be continued tomor- row. The House managers in the Swayne trial rested their case today and the defense opened.
 The first part of the session of the Senate today was devoted to routine business. A number of bills were passed. Among them was one au- thorizing the award of bronze medals of honor to persons displaying con splcuous bravery In saving lives in railroad wrecks, which measures had passed the House.
 A substitute for House bill relat- ing to the construction of a dam and reservoir for irrigation purposes on the Rio Grande in New Mexico was passed.
 The motion for 0 conference on the Statehood bill was then considered. There was quite a long discussion on the appointment of conferees, Messrs German, Teller and Foraker maintain ing that the conferees should represent the sentiment of the Senate as shown

STANDARD OIL IS MAD
vEsTrGATIoN TO UTMOST.
Campbell of Kansas COnfers With RoOsevelt-VaIidity of State's Antitrust Law Upheld
 Says Justice Brewer.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Representative Campbell of Kansas, the author or the resolution providing for an inquiry in~ to the operations of the oil interests of the country had an extended confer ence with President Roosevelt today regarding the investigation.
 Mir Campbell presented to the Pres ident considerable information bearing on the matter which he has received since the adoption of this resolution. He informed the President that he had received from the Speaker of the House of the Texas Legislature a telegram urging him to request the President and the Department of Commerce and Labor to extend the proposed inquiry to the methods of the Standard In the Beaumont field of Texas. He also told the President he had received hundreds of telegrams and letters daily from all sections regarding the investigation.
 The Standard oil Company MT. Campbell informed the President, al- ready was preparing it's defense and would resist to the utmost the Govern ment's investigation. The resumption by the company of the purchase of Kansas oil, he said, undoubtedly was decided upon in view of the action taken by the House of Representatives. It would not, surprise him, either, he said, If the price of crude oil should be advanced gradually on account of the present agitation. MT. Campbell assured the President that neither he nor the people of Kansas desired that any injustice should be done on either side of the question.
 The President will have conference soon with James R. Garfield, Comm1s- sioner of Corporations, who will direct the inquiry. At that conference a gen. eral plan of procedure in the inquiry will be mapped out. The President al- ready has been directed that it be made as rigid and thorough as possible.
 The validity of the Kansas antitrust law was today upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in an opinion by Justice Brewer in the case of Ed mund J. Smiley, plaintiff in error, versus the State of Kansas. Smiley, in 1900, was Secretary of the State Grain Dealers and-the allegation in the case is that he organized the wheat dealers of the town of Bison into trust to control the price of wheat at that place. The Supreme Court of the State sus- tained the prosecution against him and Justice Brewers opinion upholds that verdict He based his decision on the ground that the law was in harmony with the power of the State to control it's own police affairs and therefore not antagonistic to the Federal Con- stitution.
 President Roosevelt assured Repre- sentative Campbell of Kensas today that all of the power of his administra- ton necessary would be used in the in- vestigation he is undertaking through the Bureau of Corporations into the af- fairs of the Standard oil Company to the end that the small producer. dealer and consumer alike shall have fair treatment and that at the same time no injustice shall be done the Standard Oil Company or any other concern.

not forgive him for marrIng the pleas ure of the entertainment.
 Last season "A Friend of the Family was produced in Montgomery by a com pany which included George Barnum as Bartley Swift and Alice Johnson as Nancy Moves. It was an evenly bal anced company and the players were so thorough that comparisons are in- evttable. Of that first company four persons were In the cast last night, Mr. Maxwell playing his old part, Pro- lessor Manners, MT. Huhn as Bobby, Miss Lucille Villiers as the maid and Miss Violette Villiers. who was such winning Molly last year. as the star, the Nancy Moves of the piece.
 Fiolette Villers has a winning per- sonality and she was happily remem- bered as Molly. She made a rather good impression last night as Nancy but she is too young, too slight and altogether too demure for the adven- turess Nancy. Her fetching, babyish lisp and her pretty face are fitted for juveniles in which she excels.
 Quite the best actor In the company is Mir. Maxwell whose characteriza- ton of an eccentric bachelor aducator was capital.
 The play was witnessed by a small audience which seemed to enjoy 1t every bit, barring the occasional jars due to the forgetfulness of their work by some of the players.
