GOVERNOR JELKS IS REMINDED
 OF MONTGOMERY'S MOVE-O ON LAW

Montgomery policemen have been criticised for laxity in the enofrceraent of the laws enacted by the City Coun- ciI of Montgomery. Events of last night, however. proved beyond perad- venture that the members of the police force are much maligned men Per- sons and influence they do not consider when it comes to rigid enforcement of the laws
 Listen: few weeks ago James J. Sullivan, who represents Ward in the City Council of Montgomery, caused a resolution to be passed by that au- gust body that any person or persons who Ioiters around place of amuse- ment. Is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be accordingly fined by the Recorder.
 The resolution was aimed at the ge@ nius "Johnnie." the pest of the chorus girls and the public at large.
 Members of the police force began rigid enforcement of the ordinance but their zeal was taxed to it's ut- most capacity last night after Chaun- cey Olcotts performance of Edmund Burke" at the Montgomery Theatre.

 After looking after numerous details of the joint reunion of Confederate Veterans and United Sons of Confeder- ate Veterans, to be held on April 25, 26 and 2T, Dr. Thomas M. Owen. Com Ynander-in- Chief of the Sons, returned yesterday from New Orleans. pr. Owen was all but given an ovation on his trip to the Crescent City. He was toasted at general reception and at banquet in his honor and the Comman- der-fn -chief vouchsafes that, measured by the enthusiasm over the distant re- union already, 1t should be about the most notable event of its kind since the custom has prevailed.
 q found the citizens full of generous sentiment and anticipation of the com ing reunion" said pr. Owen yesterday on his return. They determined to unite at this time to make the enter tainment memorable and by the start that has already been made, 1t looks as if 1t will be memorable. The sum of $75,000 has been aubscibed in a short time by the work of the committee of citizens.

bitration. and. therefore, for the pur-' pose of supplementing the award of the commission, if there be any such matter. it would appFar natural to re- quest the members 3f the strike com mission to act so that any further award might be in harmony with that already made. All arrangemantM nec- essary in the premises could readilv be made through the members Of the con ciliation board, as they represent all parties
 The conditions established by the strike commission. followed after very serious controversy, were the result Of probably the most conscientious and exhaustive examination ever given to any labor controversy. On the whole. they have proved satisfactory and have not even been the subject of very se~ rious criticism. It therefore does not seem desirable to abandon the results reached with such difficulty and so valuable In themselves and resort 10 new methods, which are uncertain and difficult As already said. there Is no association or organization of the producers of anthracite coal, but if there were any arrangement between parties purporting to represent all the employers upon the one side and other narttes purporting to represent all the employees on the other side, it might be subject to the charge of iileEality and might not commend itself to pub lie confidence.
 The strike commission has already cohclusively decided that the industry must remain open to all seeking em- pIoyment. 1t seems scarcely neces- sary to add, therefore. that this com pany must always comply with this award, which indeed Is based upon we'll settled principles of law, and can not submit to decision by any third person. whosoever. the question whom they shall employ or how It's contracts of employment shall be terninated These suggestions are made in the interest of the public and Of all the ~arties for the purpose of avoiding fu- ture difficulties by continuing whatever beneficial results followed from the settlement of the strike of 1902. It is earnestly hoped that they will com mend themselves to the best judgment of all as to the proper course and as far wiser than entering upon new and uncertain methods of procedure.

JEFFERsoN COUNTY JUDGES.
Goveraor win Appoint Messrs. Re uerH and AhernafhY.

Governor will Appoint Messrs. Ben-
 ners and Abernafhy.
 Governor Jelks said yesterday that In the event the recent decision Of the Alabama Supreme Court, which holds the Inferior Court of Birmingham con stitutiopal, stands. he will appoint Judges J. H. Benners and H. B. Ab- ernathy to the judgships of the two divisions.
 Both these gentlemen were elected to the offices they arc destined to fill, the election having taken place, some time ago before the act of the last Legislature creating the court was attacked. The Birmingham City Court declared the act unconstitutional In quo warranto proceedings. Judges Abernathy and Benners acquiesced in the decision and have been holding the offices of justices of the peace in Beats 2I and s6. to which order of things the system dropped on the low CT courts decision.
 Some more legal proceedings inquir- ing why the judges were acting jus tices resulted in the case being ap- realed to the Supreme Court This body on Thursday upheld the consti- tutionality of the Inferior Court act.
 It Is conceded on almost every side that Judges Benners and Abernathy have every title to the judgships and recognizing the will of the people. the Governor says In advance he will ap- point them and cast aside all doubts.

BOARD ADJOURNED
STATE ASSESSORS DID NOT COM
 PLETE WORK.
Expected That Material Increnses Wifi Be Had in yaiuation of HDsil~ road, Telegraph, and Teie-
 phone Properties.

The State Board of Assessment Is about to make a record in the time or deliberation this year as yesterday af- ter an arduous period of investigation into. the condition of the railroad, tele- graph and long distance telephone lines in Alabama, the members agreed that their work had not been com. pIeted. Accordingly an adjo1rnmen.. ]. was taken sine die. If Is believed !. will be fully a week before the Boaru will resume their iabors.
 Members of the Board yesteraay were all ready to admit the materis' increases in the valuations or Iaa road property in Alabama One mem Der went so far as to express his ne- lief that the average increase m tne assessment O, all lines Will amount " as much as fifteen per cent. some in- creases, but hardly as much as this are expected in the valuations or the telegraph and long-distance feie- phones.
 Not until final adjournment of the Board for the year will the exact fig- ures rbout the new assessments be known The particulars about no single line of property vii be made public until they can be definitely as- csrtained concerning all of them. One member, recognized As the most con. servative of the Board. did not put his eSLlfudI0 dS nlBn do AhtcCH Pct SShtt as a measure of the average increase in assessment. He did not believe 1t will exceed ton per cent.
 Admitting that fifteen per cent. is a fair average for the increase in the assessment of railroads alone, it is fig- ured that the total valuations of all lines h the State will land somewhere around the $60.000,O00 mark as against $53.539.s .s60 for the tax year of 19e4- 1s05. Tbese amounts relate to about twenty-five separate lines of railroad many of which have their own branch lines
 There has not been a considerable increase in the mileage since the last tax year although some growth Is rooted. The fact that most lines show material increase Tn the gross earn ihgs since the last assessment was made, regardless of the showing in re- gard to net earnings has, 1t is be- l:eved. had much to do with the gen eral inclination of the Board to raise the valuations this year.
 The total valuations on all railroads in the State as agreed on by the Boaro last year for taxing purposes were $53,539. .862S6. The tofal assessment of telegraph lines was s544,30s.03 and on telephone was s149,SoS.20. The total milage of railroads was for the main rtacks. $4.207.955 and Tor sidetracks and branches, $l,179,2SI
