marriage ceremonies. The work of the first and second year preachers is done in sparsely settled rural districts and the change. 1t is thought. would be beneficial to all concerned. The sug- gestion has apparently met with oon- siderable favor.
 The proposition to change the pres ent itinerary system, although the change suggested Is a mild one, has not met with so much appreciation. It only proposes a modification of the four years tenure that shall apply to the larger cities. But the Conference thinks too much of the time-honored system. The larger cities appear to be doomed to disappointment of their hopes.
 That the Methodist Church has shared financially the grea. prosperity of the South is not to be doubted. A most satisfactory condition was reflected in both the report ot the Publishing Com mittee and the report of the Commit tee on Missions.
 The church Is doing its full part in every field of it's endeayor.

Policy of Expansion of Oldest and Best Daily Carried Out by Engaging Extra Train
 For Mineral
 Section.
The state News service.


 The Advertiser brides itself on it's rows service. The management in- sists that the report of every news happening within the bounds of the State shall be more complete in The Advertiser than in any other Alabama paper. To do this the management has to expend vast sums for correspond ents, and telegraph tolls. With the commissioning of The Advertiser spec !ai. the Huntsville man will be able to read as complete an account of the happenir gs ir Baldwin or Mobile coun- ties as he would be able to read If he had a Mobile paper before him. 2 The man in Opelika can get the news of Demopolis and the man of Demopo- lis can get tho news of Opelika each morning with his cup of coffee. and so on throughout all Alabama. The Ad- vertiser will cover Alabama like the sun does on typical May day.
 The great mineral district. through The Advertiser. will be enabled to keep in constant touch with the great ship ping points for Alabama industries Mobile and Pensacola, where The Ad- vertiser maintains news bureaus and the cotton mill interests of North Ala bama will daily receive complete news reports of the great agricultural sec- ton to the South.
 Such is the magnitude of the under taking of the management of The Ad- vertiser The money expenditure is enormous, but the management Is con- fdent of the worth of the paper and knows that the people of Alabama rec ognize a good thing.
 The Advertiser will go out of Bir- mingham on the following trains: Louisville and Nashville. north-bound, No. 6, at 6:10 a. m; Chattanooga and Meridian, No. ?, 5 AS a. rn.; Chattanooga and Meridian. express. west-bound, No. I, s45 a. m.: Birmingham and Meridian express train.

MINERS WILL RETURN TO WORK
 MAY 14.
Mitchell Says the Men Must Hold What They Have Rather Than Run the Rick of Losing Former
 Gains.

Scranton, Pa, May 5.--On the advice of President Mitchell, representing the sub scale committee. the miners today unanimously voted to adopt the first proposition of the operators. continu- ation of the award of the Anthracite Coal Commission, with a modification that the time for which 1t is to con- tinue shall be mutually agreed upon The operators suggestion was that it should be at least three years.
 The action of the convention, togetk- CT with a request for conference. was telegraphed by President Mitchell to Chairman Baer of the operators com mittee, and conference Monday after noon In New York was agreed to. The only matters to be discussed are the length of the time the award shall com tinue and the provision that there shall be no discrimination against the men who obeyed the mine workers suspen- sion order.
 It looks, therefore. as If strike has been averted and the miners will re- turn to work Monday, May IA.
 In presenting the report of the scale committee to the convention, Mir. Mitchell said:
 T am in favor of raising the low priced men to the standard of the high paid men. I am not at all pleased with
  lieve they should be improved.
 If 1 were sure a strike would be successful would advise you to strike and stay away from the mines until we got better conditions
 But from the information I have received from all parts of the region. I am fearful that our people are not in shape for strike.
 T know that there are many among us who are not in sympathy with a strike movement. We must retain what we have rather than lose what we have gained in the last two strikes"
 This recommendation was signed by the full scale committee, adopted unan- inously by the convention and a tele- gram was sent to MT. Baer proposing a conference Monday.
 The news that the convention has decreed against 8 strike was received with great joy throughout the regio
 President George F. Baer has agreed to meet President Mitchell and the min CTS SC ale committee at ? o'clock Mon- day afternoon In New York. It Is believed here that the miners will re- turn to work Monday May 14.

FIRE ON THE KEARsAReE.
No Further Steps Will Be Taken C
 Fl xthe Responsibility.


 Washington, May 5--No further steps will be taken to fix responsibility for the fire on the battleship Kearaarge April IS, which resulted in ten deaths.
 Tn an opinion handed down today by Judge Advocate General Diehl of the navy, he says the finding of the court of inquiry that nobody should be held responsible for the IaccAdent seeins tustified by the evidence submtttsd ana this decision was approved by Acting Secretary Newberry.
 The opinion concludes: Tt remains for the department to take such action as may be deemed advisable regarding the features of equipment and com struction mentioned in the opinion and a. reference to the various bureaus rec commended"
 Judge Advocate General Diehl re- views briefly the verdict of the court that the accident was caused by short circuit In the electric cut out and that the fault lies in the fact that tho switches and rheostats were improper ly installed as to locality and not properly covered. It was held by the court that while the gunners mate was the direct cause of the accident he should not be held responsible

Statement as to Allison Amendment. RATE MEASURE WILL PASS All Republicans, It is Thought, W;ll
 Vote for It. Democrats VIII Also Support the HUI on Final Vote, But May Oppose the Compromise Amend-
 ment.

Washington, May 5.--In view Of the publications today regarding the Pres- ident's position on the question or raii- road rate legislation and the amend ment was issued at the Waite House today defining the Presidents posis ton.
 The statement follows:
 The so-caIlcd Allison amendment In the Presidents judgment simply states afirmatively what the President be- lieved as already contained in the Hep- burn bill; but if there Is the slightest doubt as to its being thus already contained in the bill, the President would insist upon it's being put in but because 1t is contained. the bill unr doubtedly would be void. Therefore. incorporating the Alt son amendment under no circumstances would do anything but good. and. as there is an honest doubt on the part of some sincere adherents of the bill whether 1t is or not already by ira- plication. contained in the bill, the President is clearly of the opinion that the Allison amendment should be put in and this without regard to whether other amendments are or are not adopt ed.
 'Tf the Hepburn bill, therefore. pass- es in this form, which was practically the exact form in which 1t passed tho House, 1t will be satisfactory to the President who from the beginning has stated that the Hepburn bill itself would be satisfactory But the Pres- ident would like If. in addition to the Allison amendment. the so-called Long and Overnan amendments were adopts ed.
 Not Regarded as Vital
 While the President regards thess amendments with favor and would like ta aaa fhAnn ad0nfad he dnea not in the least regard them as vital and feels that the Hepburn biii would still be in excellent shape even wtthous them
 Assurances were today given the President that practically all the Re- publican strength would be east foH the Allison amendment to the rate bill. Senator Allison hopes to be well enough to be in his seat Monday. but 1t is likely that the compromise will not be offered until the rate making ' court sections are reached. Prob&p ey this will not be before Tuesday or Wednesday. After that few amend ments will be pressed and the final vote on the bill may come as early as Wednesday.
 Many of the Democrats. especially those who advocated Senator Bailey's plan for a limited review, were tn- clined to look with some doubt upon the compromise. They would have preferred the bill without amendment. Nevertheless. they concede that the Allison amendment will go through. A suggestion was made that the Demo- crats should all vote against the amendment. not with the idea of de- fsating 1t, but simply to show their disapproval. The minority. 1t is be- lieved. will vote unanimously for the bill on final vote.

 PROFESSES SATISFACTION

should be promptly made on that com- panys behalf.
 Having personal knowledge. I deny most positively and emphatically that such information Is true. as far as the ,Pennsylvania Railroad Company is concerned; on the contrary, I assert positively that the traffic of the so- called sugar trust or other shippers or sugar has been carried for many years past at the lawful published tariff rate and that no rebate or unlawful concessions directly or indirectly has been paid by our company on his traf- fic.
 Tt is unfair and unjust to the Prest- dent that he should be misled into be- iieving that any such condition of af- fairs exists as stated"
