thinks he is greeting his wife, say, he
may be addressing total stranger. Such
a situation would be intolerable to the
Turkish sense of fitness.
SO far do the Turks carry their desire
for the complete social separation of the
sexes in public that it is rare for Turk
ish gentleman even to look at a Christian
woman. For the same reason, If he
chances to meet a European or Ameri-
can lady whom he knows he will not
greet her till she has greeted him. 1t
took me some time to find this out and
until l did / thought all the Turkish men
OF my acquaintance were cutting me.
In Turkey the policeman becomes a
monitor, a judge of social observsnces,
an enforcer of rigid conventionalities. If
people don't know what is the decent
thing to do or are so careless that they
won't do 1T, he is there to lead them back
into the right path. For instance, l was
told OF the case of newly married
young Turkish couple who were so much
In love with each other that they over
looked the regulations and began to take
walks together For this purpose they
cnose the quietest, most secluded streets
In the immediate neighborhood of their
own homes instead of taking to the more
1reqnented thoroughfares, although they
We're both what might be called emanci-
pated Their action. however, did not
escape the vigiIant eye of police officer
FIRST they We're seen by him to be walk
ing up and down, hand in hand. and to
be talking together
such breach of etiquette smacked
Enthusiastically of European Incense and
cried aloud for conviction. The policeman
ln1er1ered. He had to. As a representa-
i've OF the Ottoman Empire and as a
turkish gentleman there was nothing
fnr LIT
guilty pair of married lovers that thev
really would have to stop-such goings
on could not be tolerated on a public
highway-and stop they did,

seeretarY Wilson Aarees.

Upon reaching Washington Mr.,
Gooding and the other members of the
Idaho committee had a conference with
d Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. On
many points Secretary Wilson agreed
with the committee, and the result was
known as the French bill was laid. This
measure provides for an actual running
time of thirty-six hours, for the unload
ing of the stock during the daytime in
stead of at night, and hat the train
schedule per hour shall be eighteen
miles.
The speed limit was objected to by
the railroads, they desiring that the
maximum should be sixteen miles per
hour. This amendment has been vir-
tually agreed to bp the transportation
companies, and thus the bill is satisfac-
tory to them. Mr.. Gooding stated that
the committee mel with the officers of
the National Humane society at Wash
ington and held an exhaustive confer
ence with them, at the conclusion of
which, Mr.. Gooding states, the Sec
rotary of that organization was agree
able to the measure as outlined.
National Associations Send Delegates.
At the meeting of the American Live
Stock association and the National
Wool Growers association at Denver
a week ago, five representatives from
each organization were elected to go
to Washington and do everything they
could to secure the passage of the bill.
The whole Idaho congressional del
egation is in favor of the measure"
said Mr.. Gooding. Idaho stockmen
figure that they lost $25O,OOO annually
on account Of the operation of the old
measure and other states have sustain
ed corresponding losses"

f. w. Gooding of S%hoshone, Ida,
who was in Laramie a few days ago,

garding the bill which is now pending
before congress relative to the time

in cars in transit from the point OF
shipment to the market. Mr.. Gooding,
who is a brother of Governor Gooding,
is of a committee Of three, the 9th

of Blackfoot and w. A. Philbrick of
American Falls, who was appointed by

fer with the authorities with the end
in view of having the present measure
so amended that the actual running
time of stock trains shall be thirty-siX
hours instead of ~twenty-eight hours as
at present. The claim is made that
the frequent loading and unloading Of
stock is injurious; that no hardship is
worked ON the animals by this extern
sion of time; that time is saved and al
a depreciation in value by shrink
age and other conditions is averted.
The further assertion is made that the
eastern shipper can reach the market
with his stock in less than half the
time required by the western stockman,

FINANCES ALL RIGHT.
Russia Resents Rumors That She
 Wants to Float Another Loan.

St. Petersburg, October 5.-The official telegraph agency issued a note today re- garding the report published in the Paris Temps last Thursday made by Minister of Finance kokovsoff to Premier Stolypin In disclosing the dire straits of the Rus sian treasury; the possibility of concluding another exterior loan and the pressing necessity for cutting down expenses ill the government departments. The note says:
 We are authorized to declare that the minister of finance made no such commit nication to Premier Stolypin. In a letter, however, sent to the premier a short time ago, M. Kokovsoff merely pointed out the necessity of avoiding fresh expenditures not provided for in the budget as dsburse- ments in excess of the estimates, as th's would cause great embarrassment and the ministerial council concurs in the minister of finances declaration, MT. Kokovsoff s desire to keep within the limits of the budget will be realized. Moreover there is every reason for taking a decidedly favorable view of the present financial condition of Russia"

BROKERS CASE WILL
 BE DECIDED TODAY
AFTER COMPLETION OF ARGU- MENTS BEGUN YESTERDAY JUDGE FEAGIN WILL TAKE THE
 MATTER UNDER INVESTMENT.

This morning Judge Feagin will rem der judgment in the case of the stock brokers who, in violation of a city ordi- nance, it is charged, continued business In their three offices in Birmingham after October l. Judge Feagin will say whether Or not in his opinion the city has the right to enforce the anti-brokerage ordi- narce irrespective of the fact that there Is no law in Alabama against the oper- ation of the brokerage business.
 The case came up yesterday. City At torney E. D. Smith and his assistant J. Q. Smith represented the city and Wal ker Percy and William F. Fort appeared for the defendants.
 After submitting an agreed upon hypo- thetical case embracing the usual ele- | ments of a trade in cotton futures, argu- ments were made by both sides It was submitted in the premises thai the defendants had paid their state, coun- | ty and city licenses for the year 1906, the city attorneys contending that the city ney ertheless, had the power to pass 1he ordinance prohibiting the brokerage bust ness in futures
 MT. Percy drew the distinction between trades whereon actual delivery was con templated and bucket shop" operations Mir. Percy strongly condemned the bucket shop deals, In which no deliv cry was even intended He argued, how. ever, that cotton future dealing was up held by the supremeN Ncourt of the state that the contracts were enforceable 1T 1 the higher courts. and that If the making of such contract was in violation of city ordinance. then such an ordinance was not constitutional.
 Before the argumeat was concluded, th court was adjourned. The arguments vii
 be continued this morning at Il o'clock
 after which Judge Feagin will take th
 matter under adyisement.

The cotton trade seems at last fully convinced of the truth of the reported damage to the crop of Alabama and Mississippi, which it is said amounts to a calamity. If any idea remained that the public was being guled by the farmer 1t has now been dlspelled by actual evil dence of the damage.
 Bolls have been coming into Birming- ham by the bushel which tell eloquently of the condition of the fields In fact, unless they were labeled, it would be a hard matter to tell that they are bolls, so little do they resemble the healthy fruit of the cotton plant.
 What cotton has not been beaten out of them by the rains Is sorry pulp, and so dirty as to be hardly distinguishable from the leaves.
 These specimens received in Brming- ham come from practically all parts of the state, and are said to fairly repre- sent the condition. Some are from as far west as the Mississippi line and others from the southern part of the state. There
