TWO MILLIONS OF MEMBERS
Causes Which Are Alleged to Have
Made Action Necessary.
WORK OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
Statement Issued Yesterday After
noon-The Routine Business Trans

The most noteworthy meeting of the
executive council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor ever held was that which
passed into history at 8 o'clock last even
ing. II is said to have marked an epoch in
the history of organized labor in the United
States which may result in many changes
in the course OF labor events. For the first
time the executive body of the great labor
army. with Its two million members. prac-
tically decided that the time had come for
its forces to enter the arena Of politics.
II is conceded in labor circles that the
bomb which was thrown into the camp of
the workingmen and caused the formula

FOR CHURCH AUTONOMY
GEoRGIANsDEMAND OF VICERoY
OF THE CAUCASUS.

TIFLIS. Trans Caueasia. March 1.-THE
Georgians have presented the vieeroy of .he
Caucasus with demand for the autonomy
OF their church. When the Kingdom OF
Georgia. whose heroic people upheld the
banner of Christianity In the mountains
OF the Caucasus for centuries against the
hosts of the prophet became utterly ex-
hausted by continual wars with the Turks
ana accepted the rule of Russia in 1901,
treaty was made providing that Russia
should respect the Georgian kings, recog-
nize the autocephalous character OF the
church. grant the Georgians immunity from
Russian military CONSUMPTION and not inter-
fere with their language, schools. etc.
The Georgian monarch, however. was I'M
mediately suppressed. The people were
powerless to resist, and, one by one. the
political liberties guaranteed disappeared.
The church alone with Georgian exarcn
continued as a national institution until
after the Russo-Turkish war, when 1t also
succumbed to the process of classification,
being now presided over by a Russian ex-
arch and administered by the synod at st.
Pot

Nationalistic Inspirations.

Some of the old nationalistic inspirations
of the Georgians were revived by the re-
form movement in Russia. and there was
even an incipient movement in favor or
trying TO restore the old kingdom of Geor-
gia.
The leaders of the race, however. real
lied that to separate from Georgia would
only leave the Georgians at the mercy OF
the Turks. and decided to content them-
selves with trying to free their church from
Russian control. They have been encour-
aged IN this attempt by the restoration OF
Armenian church property to the Arme-
mans, whose Catholics are entirely indie
pendent.
The yiceroy promised TO lay the matter
before the authorities at st. petersburg.
Democrats Gaining Ground.
ST PETERSBURG. March 24.-As the
second stage of the municipal elections
proceeds the constitutional democrats are
gaining ground. especially in the smaller
cites This is the case in the provinces
of Tver, kostroma. Kursk and Gologda. 1t
is rather strange, however, that in the city
of Tver itself the home of Ivan Petrunke-
witch. liberal former president of the Mos
COW zemstvo congress and candidate Tor
president of the lower house of parliament,
the Octoberists. or opponents of the liber-
ais. won.

The statement was accompanied by a list
of the witnesses OF the several flights. The
Areo Club, in return. passed resolutions OF
congratu1ation to the inventors, who were
both known personally to many of the
members of the club.
1t may be said that the rights to the ma
chine were first offered to this government,
but the inventors and their friends say that
they met with nothing but ridicule for the
claims made and that as the brothers had
spent several years and large amount OF
money In perfecting their device, they sold
it where 1t would bring them at least q par
tial return for their outlay. more than a re-
to partially pay them for their invention
and allow them to continue work on a
larger scale and at the same time make
them practically independent.

WORK ON BAYOU
ROAD GOING
AHEAD
Clay is Being Lightered
Down From Head of
Bayou Chico.

County Road Supervisor Baggett is
now hard at work on the hard road
which the county is building between
Bayou Chico and Bayou Grande and
in few days some very material
progress will be made.
The clay for this road is being Sc
cured at the heard of Bayou Chico
and is from there hauled down on
lighters to a point near the county
bridge, there loaded onto wagons and
hauled TO the road. The lighters are
towed by naptha launch.
At the clay pit a great deal of
work has been required in order TO
get the clay to the lighters, but Super
visor Baggett has solved the problem
very neatly. The pit is several hun
dred yards from the water and at the
top of the high ground at that point.
He has built two rail tracks from it
to the water, running them out over
the water on trestle, or high wharf,
so that the lighters can be placed di-
rectly beneath them. Two specially
constructed clay cars have been built,
having traps in the bottom like export
coal cars, and Inese are connected
with long cable which reaches from
the pit to the water. While one car
! is loaded it is started down the
track and 1t pulls the empty car from
/ the water to the clay pit, the cable
running through pulley at the pit
When the loaded car is emptied, it is
| in turn hauled back by the weight of
the other car which has been loaded.
Thus no power is required to handle
these cars.
Three lighters are being used and
these make from two to three trips
day. Each lighter will hold about
Is cubic yards of clay. About 80
men, including convicts and free Ia
Dor are being worked.
Supervisor Baggett thinks that if
everything works we'll he will be able
to complete the Bayou road in about
four months. When it is completed
it will form not only one Of the most
| important highways in the county, but
one OF the most attractive drives as
well.

WRECK IN NJ &M
DIV. DELAYS
TRAFFIC
Mail and Passengers Due
Yesterday at 5 A. M.
Did Not Arrive I'm
til Noon.

A wreck on the M. & M. division
of the Louisville and Nashville at an
early hour yesterday morning, delayed
traffic to such an extent as to cause
passengers and mail from Mobile and
New Orleans to be about six hours
late in reaching the city.
The wreck occurred at Bay Minette
where local freight had stopped to
discharge some freight when fast
freight No 73, bound from Cincinnati
to New Orleans crashed into the rear
end. A fiagman had been sent back
to flag the freight should it appear,
but he did not proceed far enough up
the track to allow the fast freight to
stop when the engineer saw the sig
nal.
Conductor Cowart of the fast freight
had his wrist injured, but with this
exception the men escaped without in
jury. The track was blocked at the
point for number of hours, as the
rear of the local freight was badly
smashed up and cars derailed.

REV. j. G. PATTON, D. D., AT
LIST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

they begin to realize that he is very
much beyond what they first believed
him to be. He sometimes nearly
reaches the sublime, and flashes OF
fancy frequently Hume his subject;
but there seems to be an absence or
anything like humOr in his make up.
Preaching is too serious thing for
him to trifle about.
The first time one hears him he
wonders how the man could illustrate
so well without the aid of anecdote.
He cannot be called a word painter.
yet his diction is faultless. He is
neither easy nor graceful, yet he is
fluent and attractive. He is not 81. all
cyclonic, but he moves down UPON
things with such an irrisistable force
that they give way impercepitibly.
There Is vast deal of humanity
in his preaching and you can hear
the heart-beats OF the man back be-
hind the words. Half the preaching
OF to-day goes wide of the mark be-
cause it is not winged with human
sympathy. His preaching is inspiring
and uplifting. not derisive and abn-
sive He talks very sanely about the
sinner and says there Is no necessity
for his remaining bad, and as he lifts
him out of his environment on Ane
promises of God, and shows him
vistas of enchantment awaiting him
I'm the future, he allures him heaven
ward He is neither a dreamer or
sensationalist, but a practical preach,
Ier of deep piety and great force.
1t will pay all good people to hear
DR.. Patton for he will help them and
those who are not so good will be
encouraged and not disheartened by
him. The meetings at the First Pres
byterian church will continue through
the week.
