Washington, Feb. 7.-The president
took hand in the Valencia case yes
terday. The result Of his energetic
action will be seen in Seattle early
next week, when high federal COM
mission will meet there to take charge
of the investigation into the serious
disaster and the scandal and incidents
which followed the wreck of the
vessel.
The commission includes two men,
bers of the commission which investi
ACTED the causes of the General Slocum
horror a year and half ago, will be
assisted by Capt. w. T. Burwell, COM
mandant at the Puget Sound navy
yard.
The two members who will go from
here are Lawrence o. Murray, assist
ant secretary of commerce and labor,
and Herbert Knox Smith, deputy COM
missioner of corporations. Mr.. Muir
ray and Mr.. Smith are thoroughly IA
miliar with matters pertaining to the
inspection of steam vessels, and the
experience they acquired in connec-
tion with the General Slocum will be
invaluable in the coming investigation
at Seattle.
The determination to appoint the
commission was reached early in the
regular meeting of the cabinet yester-
day.
Views OF the President.
To the newspaper correspondents
the president expressed his deep con-
Germ over the Valencia disaster, and
his determination that a searching
Investigation shall be made.
Secretary Metcalf took to the cabi-
net meeting a number of clippings of
editorial and other matter from Seat
tie papers, and some members appre-
ciateq for the first time the real grav-
ity of the disaster to the Valencia and
the questionable incidents which fol.
lowed.
Another important action was taken
yesterday, and by the express direc-
ton of the president. He instructed
the acting attorney general to send a
telergam to United States District At
torney Frye, asking If it were true, as
reported in a telergam from the Cham
Der of Commerce that he had said he
was called into the Investigation too
late to do anything.
The telegram sharply directed the
district attorney to use his best efforts
in every way to bring out every fact
in connection with the disaster, and
with the failure of so-called rescue
parties to lend assistance.
"What we want are the facts, and
all the facts in this business said
Secretary Metcalf. ''and we are going
to get them"
Assistant Secretary Murray and
Deputy Commissioner Smith will leave
for Seattle as soon as they can wind
up certain affairs in the department
here. They will probpably start to-
night or tomorrow morning.

TRIP OF LEAGUERS
METHODIST YOUNG PEOPLE SEE
 MEXIC GULF.
Proposition to Divide Conference t0
 Correspond With Those of Church Reconsidered by Overwhelm- ing Vote of Delegates.

Pensacola. Fla, June 14.-(SpeciaL) Although the weather during the
 early portion of the afternoon was, in-
 element and threatening. the members
 of the Epworth League of the North Alabama Conference did not hesitate to go on the bay excursion prepared for them by the local members of the League this afternoon.
 They were well repaid for venturin g out, as the weather cleared, the sun came from behind the clouds and there was just enough swell on the bay to add spice to the trip and to cause some to pass through a mild form of sea-sickness.
 The steamer passed from the docks
 down the harbor and to the bar, but the high seas rolling on the outside were such as to deter the crowd from venturing out, some having never be- fore been on the water.
 The visitors obtained a good view of Forts Pickens, Barrancas. McRae and the navy yard and landed at the life saving station, where they had an eX- cellent opportunity of seeing the Gulf in all of it's fury.
 The rough water and high winds of the past few days, caused waves noun tain high to roll in and break on the shore at the feet of the spectators, and
 the hundreds who took advantage of the occasion and made the trip, will never forget'the scenes they witnessed.
 The crowd returned to the city late in the afternoon, all highly pleased with their trip to Pensacola. The morning session of the League was devoted to routine business. Re-
 ports of the officers showed an increase in membership and also an increase in finances during the year.
 At it's last session tonight the League by an overwhelming majority voted to reconsider the matter of dividing the conference which was carried yester- day and a resolution passed deferrins g | ali action in this direction until the next meeting.
 The League before adjourning decid- ed to meet with the St, Francis League
 in Mobile next year
 The following officers were elected.

Senator Blackburn Calls Attention to President's Professed Intention of Proceeding With CoDstruc-
 ttop ef a Lock Waterway.

Washington. June 14.-Today after
 Senator Dryden had concluded his
 speech on the Panama canal bill Sena- tor Kittredge made an effort 10 se- cure an agreement to vote on tne hill and was making fair progrss when Senator Foraker interposed with question as to the necessity for deter nnininr the type of canal during the present session. He said that ms predictions had been in favor or the sea level type but some doubts had arisen in his mind and that he did not ieei now prepared to vote Massrs Teller, Warren, Hopkins ana scott agreed with this suggestion. MT. Hopkins said that no posslple harm could come from a postponement.
 Senator Hale expressed desire to se-
 cure a vote during the present sessioh'
 Senator Carter argued for postpone,
 nant and said the construction could
 be carried on until next winter without
 interfering with the type. senator tui
 person called attention to the Presl- dort's declaration of his intention U proc eed with the construction ot loAk canal unless Congress should order otherwise. ,,, MT. Hale made the point that the bill was the unfinished business and that it must be either voted 2pnn or ais- placed by a vote. He said that IT the bill was not now acted upon 1t would be added as an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Senator Blackburn opposed post ponement declaring that the Presi- dents preference for lock canal are known. He said:
 'It Is an open secret that if this ses- sion adtourns the type of canal Is fixed and fixed by reason of our non action. It will be a lock and dam canal wheth- CT Congress prefers it or not He said he would be willing to con tinue the session until october 1T nec- essary to reach the correct result After further discussion an agree ment was reached to vote on the nnal nassaee of the bill before adjournment Thursday.

Alabama will have all members of its
 railroad commission elected by the peo- pie. unless one of them who Is now hitehed tries to break loose and run into another office. But you need not fear, my friends. he is in the place 1 where he ought to be and the people | of Alabama are going to keep him there.%

 lowered from the Alabama to the
 Georgia rate pr. Cunningham asked articles, unless 1t was for the
 purpose of helping out certain l. for the purpose of helping out certain expect except class legislation from a
 man who has by law $12,000 worth of
 taxes remitted on every hundred thou

 the worst sort. and I promise If I am
 elected Governor I will do all in my
 power to have the law repealed"
 In his argument Dr. Cunningham all
 luded to The Birmingham News as the
 Conner Bible. saying. but take my
 word for it. it's no prophet"
 As the speech of Dr. Cunningham drew to close some man with a meg aphone arrangement in the rear of the house at one of the doors called out
 
 first he reused the cheers of the Co.,
 mer men and this spurred on the Gun ningham men to other outbursts of enthusiasm in which the feeble noise of the Conner adherents was several times drowned out. Cheers and counter cheers rang out, the Cunningham men
 predominating in making noise.
 Called for the Police.
 The Conner men were persistent, hnu nd nh ma a .
 in evidence. At length the Cunning | ham men began to call out, Put him out" Police" and these calls were
 mixed with sibilant misses that rang out over the house, which was not the first time hissing had been heard. Dr. Cunningham, however. finished his speech while good order prevailed and
 his friends gave him prolonged and continued cheer as he took his seat. MT. Conner arose to make his re- joinder and the counter cheers was re-
 stunned. He began to answer bitterly
 the attacks that had been made on him for his child labor associations and coming close to pr. Cunningham he
 shook his finger near his face. The Cunningham men thereupon raised ] such shout that his words could not be heard. After he had walked away Mir Conner said he wanted to say for | the benefit of MT. Hamburger Of Mo
 bile that the assertions which had been
 made that he had contributed to fund ] to lobby for the mill interests in child | labor legislation or that he had lobbied | for them was libel, but the blood of | the Cunningh ham men was up and they would not cease their cheering. The Conner men were spurred on to action and between the two contending forces no order was practicable. After vain ly trying to speak and seeing the crowd leaving, MT. Conner resumed his seat and the great debate was oyer.

BURGLAR ALARM SOUNDS.
Drew Great Throng Of People to Court
 Square.

Considerable curosity was caused at II o'clock last night when f.a of the burglar alarms at the vacant offices. corner of Dexter avenue and North Court street, formerly occupied by the Merchants and Planters Farley Na- tional Bank, began ringing.
 In a few minutes a dozen or more policemen and a great throng of peo, pie were on the scene and It was at first thought that some one had been tampering with the steel vault in the interior of the banks old quarters Later developments proved that the continuous alarm was caused by an open circuit in the system.
 City Electrician Blakey was aroused from his sleep and hurried to the bank. as also did a number of other cleo trieians. About 11;55 o'clock R. E.. Seibels, assistant cashier of the First National Bank, reached the scene in an automobile having been awakened from sleep. He worked the combination, entered the vault, and with touch on the regulator. stopped the ringing. He found the cause to have been q slight deflection in the setting of the dial of the vault, which varied it from it's proper position The deflection probably occurred while the bank em- ployes were in the quarters during the day, not having fully completed the moving, and it did not assert itself un- til the hour at which the alarm sys> tenn had been set
 MT Seibels said there was no money in the vault.

 The group of toll has decided to car " the fight against the decision of the District Court in the case of M. Ulian- off, wLo has been indicted although member of Parliament and therefore exempt from political prosecution, to the floor Of the House.
 MT Bryan was also buttonholed by q harmless crank who had planned to stop famines by teaching the peasants to eat the field rats which destroy the crops and offered to subscribe $25,000 if he could interest Americans to take up the plan.
 Asked to define his attitude toward the Presidential candidacy in 1908, Mir. Bryan expressed his pleasure at the complimentary resolutions passed by various State conventions but said 1t was too early to make any announce ment relative to his renomination.

HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Aerenaut Wright Buffeted Through
 Electric Park Trees.

Prot Al Wright, balloonist at Efect tric Park had a thrilling experience yesterday afternoon. while m1xing his ascension, which for a few momenti terrified several hundred spectators. who had assembled to witness his flight. e
 For a minute. the aeronaut was buff feted about the tall pine trees of Electric Park unable to do ought to protect himself from the blows of limbs of the trees or from the danger of being hurled from his unsteady trapeze to the ground beneath.
 The balloon was inflated at a point by trees. On the previous day. the and light wind took it Into the clear open space over the lake.
 The aeronaut had figured yesterday that this same performance would take place or that the balloon would have ascended far enough above the trees at its first rise to avoid all danger.
 strong wind was blowing briskly from the east and just as Wright be- gan his ascension, a very brisk breeze puffed the bag into the tallest of the trees. At furious Lace the balloon ist was fairly torn through the foil age of this trees and was violently thrown into a second one. Here his balloon became tangled in the trees. Professor Wright immediately swung to the trunk and having cut the para chue loose, the balloon again ascended. Beyond a few scratches and some bruises. Wright was uninjured.
