TO STOP WILDCAT MINING.

The American Mining Congress, Which Meets
in October, VIII Take Final Action for
the Protection Of Mining Investors.
A bill providing for the punish
ment of all mining faklrs and pro-
moters of illegitimate mining en-
terprises, Will be drafted by the
American Mining Congress at its
annual session which will be held
in Denver, Colorado, October 10th
to 10Th inclusive. A committee
composed of the best talent in the
United States has been appointed
to prepare and submit to the
Mining Congress draft of such
Llll. This committee comprises
two United States Senators
Robt. NJ. La Toilette wis. }, and
Fred T. Dubois Idaho; one Con
gressman, Eben w. Martin
(South Dakota), and the Govern
orS of two states, Geo. G. Pardee
California;, and Jos. w. Folk,
(MissourD. Four are attorneys
and all from mining states of
prominence.
California has already adopted
a law which has worked an al
most complete riddance from that
state of spurious mining stock
aud that lecherous parasite on
the mining industry-the fake
promoter. 1t is probable that
the proposed legislation, which
will be submitted to the state leg
islatures this winter, will be fash
ioned after the California law,
which provides that any person
who shall undertake to sell or as
sent to the publication, privately
or publicly, of fraudulently eX-
aggerated report tending to give
any person or the public general
~ the idea of a greater value or
less apparent value or market
value than such stock may really
possess, with the intention OF de-
fraudlng any person or the pub
lie, "shall be deemed guilty of
felony, and on convection shall be
punished by Imprisonment in
state prison, or a county Jail, not
exceeding two years, or by fine
not exceeding five thousand dol
lars, or both.
The efforts OF the American
Mining Congress to protect the
investor against mining frauds oy
furnishing information as to the
true conditions at the mine, has
made more apparent the necessi-
ty of legislation to suppress this
evil, and it Is hoped that all Sc
rious mining men Will take an ac-
tive interest and communicate
with the secretary, to the end
that the matter may receive the
most intelligent consideration at
the con ing annual meeting. The
Mining Congress never was in as
strong position to con- bat this
evil, and the assistance of every
mining man is needed to make
its work more effective.
Steps will also be taken at this
session for the creation of mine
drainage districts similar to pub
lic improvement districts in cit
les, and for the creation of a De.
partment of Mines and Mining as
a separate Executive Department
of the national government.

Elliot and Sawyer entered the saloon
together about o'clock and played sew
eral games of pool. They were both
drinking freely. and were standing in
front of the bar when the difficulty be-
gan. The quarrel was of such sudden
origin and was so unexpected by the by
ISLANDERS that 1t was over before they
realized that there was anything wrong.
According to accounts Elliot. in begin

MORRIS Is BROUGHT
BACK FROM DENVER
YOUNG MAN is CHARGED WITH
EMBEZZLlNG $s2oo FROM THE
ROBERTSON GROCERY co. IN
DECEMBER, 1904.

T. Milton Morris, former cashier and
bookkeeper for the Robertson Grocery
company of Birmingham who disappeared
the last of December, 1904 carrying with
him, 1t is charged, something like 1920
belonging to the firm, was arrested in
Denver last week and brought here yes
terday afternoon by City Detective Sam
Hamilton, who went after him.
He was first taken to police headquar-
tiers and afterward locked up in the eoun-
ty jail on a warrant from Judge Renners
court, charging him with embezzlement
the bond being fixed at $1,000.
Until Morris was seen In Denver on
August 10, which fact was reported to
E. A. Robertson of Atlanta, former pres
ident of the Robertson Grocery company
his whereabouts were unknown. S. L.
Green. an employee of the firm, now the
Robertson, Kenimer Grocery company,
was sent to Denver and promptly iden-
titled Morris, who 1t is said, was living
under an assumed name. In a special dis
patch received from Denver last week
it was stated that Morris had made a
full confession.
When seen yesterday at the county
jail he had nothing to say as to the
crime with which he is charged. Accord
ing to reports, however, the alleged en-
bezzlement took place while James L.
Robertson, general manager of the house,
was on hunting trip in Florida.
Morris is about 80 years old. When he
left Birmingham in December, 1904, he
was unmarried. He has several relatives
in Alabama.

JEFFERSON IS 4
TREAT TO THE EYE
PLAY HOUSE HAS BEEN ELABoR-
ATELY PHOTOGRAPHED AND RE-
NovATED ron THE OPENING OF
THE SEASON..

Painters, decorators and other workers
have wrought a transformation in the
Jefferson theatre that promises to dazzle
the eyes of theatre-goers when this play
house is thrown open to the public next
Monday night. The campaign of cleaning
and renovation has been going on rapidly
for several weeks. Every part of the
house has undergone a change and the
interior effects are charming The color
scheme has been considerably lightened,
so that the house appears much more
spacious and attractive than before. The
decorations are elaborate and on a scale
of artistic excellence that is a credit to
the Birmingham firm which Is doing this
work. A happy blend of pale green, cream
and gold constitutes the principal ground
work, while panels and ceiling are shad-
ed in varied tnts which harmonic per-
fectly.
The ceiling, both in the foyer or lobby
and in the auditorium proper, is work
of art. The design is not only handsome
and tasteful, but the color effects are
most pleasing. Much care was also ex-
pended on the boxes and the facings of
the two balconies. Moss green carpets
and draperies will add greatly to the APP
pearance of the house and new curtain
to match the decorations will be installed.
When the house is lighted up 1t presents
a brilliant scene that is sure to awaken
the admiration of theatre goers.
The Jefferson will be ready for use by
the end of the week and it is safe to
say that no prettier theatre can be found
in the south With the Jefferson, the
Bijou and the Majestic, Birmingham has
three playhouses of which she may justly
be proud. All are extremely handsome
and compare favorabiy with theatres any
where in the country.
