to prevent contributions by
corporations to party campaign
funds, although that excellent
bill passed the senate.

to reduce the tariff on all
articles on which the duty now
exceeds 100 per cent, the
Philippine tariff bill, and all

and providing for trial by jury
in cases of indirect contempt

tract labor bill.
It rejected the bill relating to
hours of labor of railroad EN-.
ployees.
1t rejected the La Toilette
Amendment to the railroad
rate bill, a proposition endorsed
by organized labo.. defining
the liability of employ ers fo,
injuries to employees while en-
gagged in the performance Of
duty; and passed a separate
bill, opposed by organized la
Dor, deceitfully styled the "em.
ployer's liability BILL"
1t rejected an amendment tc
the railroad rate bill to provide
for excluding watered stock
from the valuation put upon
railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in de.
termining reasonable compen.
sation for capital invested.
1t rejected another amend
ment to the same bill, intended
to prevent judges having a per
sonal Interest in railroad cases
from sitting in judgment in
such cases.
1t rejected the Bailey amend.
ment to the same bill, intended
to prevent Federal judges from
enjoining, restraining, or set
ting aside orders of the Inter.

bill.

amendment to the Agricultur
al appropriation bill requiring
the beef packers to pay ex
penses of Federal inspection
and placing the cost of such
inspection on the tax payers

ing material for stricken Frisco
and the republicans of thar
state have since endorsed suct
a bill.

more of similar character con

Famous New England Story on
the Stage.
About five years ago, Quincy
Adams Sawyer" a story of New
England lite, by Charles Eel
ton, made it's appearance in at
tractive book form. Directly it
achieved enormous popularity.
Everybody was reading it and
talking about it. The sales
continued for year with no
abatement. About that time,
the parties concerned in the
book saw in the stcry all the
elements of a successful play.
To be sure, it lacked villain,
a ruined girl, lost will, a
mortgage, and cruel uncle,
but it contained plenty of types
of people all distinct and ma
ttural. And so the dramatiza-
ton was made.
IF the book was successful
the play was doubly so. Houses
crowded to the doors marked
it's every appearance. "The
very best New England play
ever seen" was the universal
verdict.
The play closely follows the
book. No attempt was made
to enlarge on the plot. Quincy
Adams Sawyer" is a wealthy
young Boston lawyer, who goes
into the country for his health
He meets blind girl whose
love he wins. Their courtshiI
is the main theme of the play
but it is not on any one feature
of the drama that interest cen
tres. for as far as love making
goes, there are six full fedged
love stories in progress all the
time. 1t is the realistic por.
trayal of character and scene
that has won the play it's die.

The committee on colored evangelization of the Southern Presbyterian church, of which Dr. E. H. Sholl is chairman. met In Birmingham yesterday for the purpose of deciding what disposition should be made of S50O0 from the legacy of the late Dr. West of St. Louis. The money was placed in the hands of the committee at the recent meeting of the general assem- bly held in Greenvile s. c.
 The money will not be expended at pres ent, and a committee consisting of Judge J. H. Miller and the Rev. Dr. J. w. Stagg was appointed to find some safe in- vestment for the money.
 At the meeting Dr. Stagg presented plans for an extension to the Stillman in- Atitute at Tuscaloosa. and the plans are
 To be acted on later. They provide for
 wo wings, one on either side of the main building.
 The Stillman institute Is for the educa-
 ion of negro ministers. and 1t also has an Industrial department connected with It
 order that the preachers may learn to be practical farmers at the same time hat they are studying for the ministry kn order that they may teach their mem- bers of their congregations to be indus tr.ous. The improvements would cost about s25Oo, and it is the plan to build one of them at a time.
 The secretary, the Rev. Dr. James D. Snedecor, was instructed to investigate the feasibility of making certain im- provements in the school at Abbeville, 5.

 The Rev, MT. Van Lear of Tuscaloosa and the Rev. A A. Little of Selma were appointed a committee to audit the ae- counts of the Stillman institute and to report to the auditing committee of the general assembly.
 The Rev. MT. Hutcheson was reelected principal of the institute at Tuscaloosa Tor the ensuing year. Reports from the in- stitute were received and they showed that it was in first-class condition, prob ablv better than ever before in it's his- tory. The faculty will be increased by two or three new members, and the sec- retary was instructed to secure the re- qured teachers.

BODY OF DROWNED
 MAN UNIDENTIFIED
REMAINS OF PERSON THOUGHT TO BE MARSHALL STILL AT UNI DERTAkER'S-RE MOUNTAIN CORPSE BURIED.

The body of the man found in the Ar kansas river 12O miles south of Little Rock and identified by s. II. Harris, who had instituted the search, as that of w. J. Marshall of Birmingham, disappearing from Little Rock about the time of the suicide of an unknown man by drowning in the river, is still held at Llge Loys undertaking establishment. The coroner has come to the conclusion that 1t Is not the body of Marshall W. H. Stewart, superintendent of the Metropolitan In surance company, is also of the opinion that it is not the body of the missing contractor.
 As soon as some articles of clothing were seen by Mrs. Marshall, she said they did not belong to her husband. Neither does Coroner Paris believe that the body found on Red Mountain last Sunday IS that of Marshall. The remains were bur led yesterday morning in the potters held. In the case of this body there was no evidence on which to base the suppositon that it was the remains of Marshall eX- cept in the fact that the clothing was practically identical with Mrs Marshall s description of that worn by her nus band.
 In the absence of proof to the contrary the coroner is inclined to the theory that 1t may be proved upon examination or the clothing by w. F. Shafer, that the body is that of his father, R. J. Shafer, the missing farmer from near Cullman. The Cullman man has not been seen or heard of since March 3. Young Shafer said. however, that as he had not seen his father for some time prior to his dis appearance, he can make no positive statement as to the clothing.
 Some persons express the belief that Marshall is still alive.
