whom Harry Bulger will take off his hat. That his lines were clever was to his advantage, that he spoke them cleverly and kept the audience in a continual laugh was due to his ability Special features introduced for him were all original and laughter-com- polling. It is almost safe to say there was not line in his role which was not original. His song, on Masons and masonry, brought numerous encores.
 Another clever comedian of the cast was R. H. O'Conner, as Eli Beasley, the rural sleuth. His work was of high order. Miss Helen Hale, who presented two roles. that of "Samsonia," and of "Gasolina," the gasoline maid, is captivating little woman who immedi- ately took place in popular favor. Hat tie Arnold as Matricula, the president of Gassar College, presented a strong comedy part
 specially noteworthy feature of the performance was the rare quality of the voices, both in principals and in the chorus, Isobel Hall, as Dora" a stu dent of Gassar, has one of the best stage voices that has been heard in the local playhouse this season. Her songs Loves Lesson" and 'SThe Dainty Mu- sic Maid were well received.
 Not the least important feature of the production was the pretty and cleverly trained chorus. There were in the neighborhood of fifty fair maids. They executed their dances gracefully and artistically, For each chorus number, and there were a dozen, they had dis tinct and original dance, and distinct and original costume.
 The scenic properties of the piece were elaborate and in accord with the high standard of the other departments of the production.

Soldiers Must Not Dispose of Their
 Apparel Allowance.
 San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 14.-Judg ? Burns of the Southern District United States Court holds that the sale of soldiers clothing by officers or enlisted men is prohibited by Federal law.
 The decision is of much interest here as the practice has been common at the various Texas posts. It always has been held an offense to sell such sup plies from the sauartermaster's depart ment. but disposal of personal attire has been allowed.
 Judge Burns's decision grows out of a case at Brownsville in which two citizens were tried for purchasing goods. The jury failed to return a verdict and 1t developed that three of the jurors were wearing army shoes. A severe reprimand was Immediately forthcoming frcm the bench.

HARLAN SENTENCED
MANAGER AT LOCKHART GETS
 EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
WiII AlaO Have To Pay Fine of @5,OO0 AcCOrding To Judge Swayne- Other Terms Are
 Lighter.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 14-(SpeciaL)- Manager W. S. Harlan and five of the employees of the Jackson Lumber Com pany, of Locknart, Ala, eoavicted last week of conspiracy to commit peonage after trials consuming nearly month, were sentenced to terms in the penl- tentiary and heavy fines by Judge Charles Swayne in the United states Court today.
 The six men reached here on a delay ed train from Lockhart just before the noon hour, and shortly afterwards were in the court room where sentence was passed.
 Manager Harlan was the first to be called before the bar and in reply to n question from the court, said that he had nothing to say as to why sentence should not be passed. Sentence or eighteen months in the Federal prison at Atlanta, and fine of $5,000 in addi- tion, was then passed.
 Robert Gallagher was the next and he was sentenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary and q fine of $1,0O0, while Dr. ". E. Grace, O. S. Sandor, c. E. Huggins and c. c. Hilton, were sentenced to thirteen months at At lanta and fines of $1,0oO each.
 Tn passing sentence upon Superin- IenuenI GdIlaBner, WhO appeared rom the testimony to be deeper implicated than any of the rest, Judge Swayne ad- vised the quick-tempered Ireshman to leave his pistol behind when he went to the Atlanta prison, and not to slap any of the keepers in the face, if they displeased him
 The court announced, in passing sem- tence, that long petitions had been re- ceived asking that the sentences upon Manager Harlan and Higgins and Hil- ton be as light as in the opinion of the cOurt, would be consistent with the of- fense, and continuing said that he thought that a mistake had been made In this court, as well as others, in showing too much leniency. He did not intend this as a criticism of other courts, but they made a mistake and he thought on the side of mercy in- fiuenced, perhaps, by material sympa- he thought on the side of mercy, in- thy on the side of the man who is in trouble.
 As soon as sentence was passed, coun- sel for the defendants asked that su- persedeas bonds be fixed and the time be set for filing of bill of exceptions, as they intended appealing the case to the United States Court of Appeals The date was set for May IS, and the bond of Manager Harlan fixed at $6,- 900, while the others gave bond in the sum of $3, 900 each. It was stated that the bill of exceptions could not be pre- pared in shorter length of time as

and results, had not shown that govern ment regulation of railroads is a fatl- ure," and he quoted MT. May1eld as
 saying that he could not quite sub scribe to the proposition that govern
 ment regulation by state and nation is failure and that:
 They tell us the duty of regulating freight rates is exclusively a leglsla- tive function and yet the legislative power in the exercise of that function
 is controlled absolutely by judical iR- terference." MT. Colquitt said he did not agree with his distinguished associate in
 placing all the blame on the courts, as the courts were not to blame for be- ing appealed to. Much or the trouble, The declared, was in the incorporation 1 laws of the state He suggested that Oklahoma could guard against this by
 distinguishing in it's constitution be-
 tween the citizen" ana the "artifical person"
 Also that the okIahoiaa commission should be clothed with judiciaT pow
 CT, and that the constitution should
 provide for the purchase of the rail- roads by the state, at their market val ue in the event the railroads should att tempt to enjoin the rates by resorting
 to the federal courts.
 Declaring that rate regulation had failed in Texas, because the commission has heretofore compromised with the railroads, and has not given the courts an opportunity to pass upon the req
 condolences of the commissions rates,
 MT. Colquitt said he hoped that in the suit now pending against the Texas commission, opportunity would be giv- ing for proving the reasonableness of a rate and for establishing a doctrine different from that contended for by the lawyers in construing the Nebraska case.
 He also hoped that Oklahoma would
 frame a constitution and law which would show that government regula- tion of railroads cah be made success

 In speaking of the Hepburn rate law
 Mir. Colquitt said that Roosevelt, with a master mind and hand. foresaw that something must be done" and that If some courageous men are kept on the
 commission and their actions are not
 negatived by applications of the rail-
 road to the courts for restraining or- ders. the country may be contented. | 1t will not surprise me if Roosevelt does and preparer of the way for a diff ferent solution of the transportation question:" :.:..~
 MT. ColQuitt was an advoeate of rail-
 road legislation in Texas, when that cause was championed by the late Gov ernor Hogg. He is the first prominent man in public life in Texas to declare that it has been a. failure in results.

BASEBALL OR NOTs
SITUATION NOT CLEARED AT ASsO-
 CAPTION MEETING.
Montgomery May Lose Its Team Unless Traction Company Comes to Re- lief-Commitee to See
 President AppersOn.

Absolutely nothing resulted from the meeting of the Montgomery Baseball Association yesterday afteTnoon. ano s Montgomery is in more hopelessly befuddled condition, if possible, than
 There was a full meeting of the Board, all nine of the Directors being present. namely: E. F. Amerine, T. J. Reynolds. B. s. Strassburger, Bernard W. Fl. Ragland, s. H. Dent and Phares Coleman. After a discussion of the matter in which the public of Mont gomery is so vitally interested-the baseball muddle-the result was the appointment of a committee of three 10 wait on President R. D. Apperson Of the Montgomery Traction Company who fs expected in Montgomery next week. And after proving flash in the pan, the meeting adjourned.
 In discussing the failure of the base ball atmosphere to be cleared up, prominent business man said last
 Hof course, baseball canot make or mar a city, but as little as people think. it has a great bearing on the future prosperity of a city.
 T am not what is popularly called baseball crank myself. but l do keep to S realize the benefit it is to tt a town io to be a member of a baseball organiza- tion. In the first place, 1t is one of the best advertisements that a town
 
 towns that would be scarcely heard of were it not for that fact that they sup port baseball team. Then, again, there is the purely amusement feature of baseball, and it certainly seems to apeal to a greater mass of people than any other branch of amusement under the sun.
 Now, Montgomery is making a great effort towards the 1910 goal. and how would it look if the statement is made to the outside world that this town has not enough public-spirit to support a baseball club?
 Tt looks as if the Montgomery Trac- tion Company has determined to cease paying the expenses of the home team, and, If 1t does, why baseball cannot exist in Montgomery. I think it would be to the interest of the business men of Montgomery to buy the stock of the Traction Company and make baseball strictly a local enterprise"
 It begins toHook a5 if the suggestion made by this gentleman is the only hope Montgomery has of staying on the baseball map. Baseball affairs are in desperate situation and unless something Is done within the next few days there is no telling what will happen.
