ing in freight rates, which will add that much more to the profits of the rlanufac- turer, which at the same time he is enabled to manufacture and sell at a cheaper price.
 MT. Babb is very enthusiastic over the proposition and believes 1t would be g. good addition to the many and varied lines of manufactures now successful in this city.
 Speaking of this matter he said yester- day: 'tThe Birmingham district needs just such an industry. The gentlemen who have come here to organize this industry have evidenced their good faith by putting up the money necessary to begin opera- tions. Personally I believe this offers a most advantageous opportunity to the in- vestor. have investigated the proposition and personnel of these gentlemen and recommend them as being business men of ability and character.
 T will be only too happy to furnish any and all information in my power that will tend to further this object and give to Birmingham another industry to add to her already strong list"

 Now take Perry Belmont. This rising sun got stuck on the horizon. You would think that Mir. Osborn thought Perry was shaken down. Was he? He got shares of Carbon steel
 Held Up James R. Keene.
 James R. Keene is a rough and tumble fighter in the field of finance and yet we are told that $7e0O0 was taken from him by Colonel Mann over night. I felt that Colonel Mann ought to be arrested as soon as he left the stand. Think of Keene being plundered over night. What really happened Colonel Mann tells you that he gave security on properties for his loan. Irving approached Burden but he did not blackmail
 Wooster, Wayne and Irving went be- yond their authority. Wooster took blood money. They all said that Mann and DeuI warned them not to use the influence of Town Topics with reference to Pads and Fancies.
 ''If there is a man of Gods foot stool who carries a fiercer eye than J. Pierpont Morgan l don't know him. Colonel Mann may be a brave man and warrior who would face the cannon's mouth, but fac ing a cannons mouth would be nothing to that fierce gray eye of Morgan. Think of Colonel Mann blackmailng J. P. Nor gan and if he was blackmailed, why was he not called at this trial Why black mail anybody when there are so many easy marks?
 Until Harry Lehr appeared" said the District Attorney, 'I had not supposed there was a man so modest as to refuse to go into that monumental production Pads and Fancies.' "
 Takes Up Baker Case.
 Here MT. Shephard, counsel for the defense suggested that he take up the Baker case. MT. Jerome said: "The Span ish war comes and Baker owner of a big steamship line, filled with patriotic pride, rushes down to Palm Beach to tender his vessels to General Alger. a member of q lumber company and hero of another war, the civil war. Because of his patriotism MT. Baker sacrificed his line of steamship for the protection of the country for $4.0O0, 900.
 '"rhe defendant in this case Is an old time friend of mine Only the best mo- tives could have actuated him in writ ing these articles from information ob- tained in talks with me. In measure l was the author l talked to him honestly and told him what I thought of Town Topics, but he did not violate my con fidence. His actions throughout this whole proceeding have indicated a finess of professional honoF. He did not even reveal to his counsel, the talks he had with me until l suggested 1t to them. If people had the courage to come Into court this scandalous paper would have been wiped off the earth long ago.
 T think in your deliberations the ques- tion you will turn on is one of justifica- ton and whether Hapgood wrote the article with good intentions. The gist of that will be, was there reasonable ground for arraigning judge as blackmaller?'' Justice Fitzgerald then charged the jury.

Charleston. S. C.. January 26.-A sleet storm which began last night has badly crippled telegraphic communication out of this city. The Western Union reports 15O poles down between this city and Salisbury on the main line of the South ern railway, a distance of forty-four miles, and communication to the north is maintained by Atlanta, to which point the Western Union had several wires working today. Branch lines are nearly all down. making it impossible to reach many towns in this section.

AUTOMATIC ALARM BOXES.
Three Installed In the Business Dis
 trict-Modern Devices.

Three automatic fire alarm boxes were installed in the business part of the city yesterday.
 Such boxes are being used in the larger cities and it Is found that an alarm can be sent in much more promptly than with the old style device.
 The doors are fitted with crank which, on being turned, rings continuously. thus giving the fire house preparatory signal. After two or three turns of the crank the door f1ys open and a lever is round on the inside of the box, which when pulled, sends an alarm of fire into the sta- tion.

ed and again the point of no quorum was made.
 Again the chair counted the House and declared a quorum present.
 Speaker Counts Noses.
 Once more the same procedure was gone through on the motion to begin con- sideration of the bill. The republican af- firmative vote was IFS and the democrats refrained from rising to be counted, and then MT. Williams raised the point of no quorum. The speaker while the House roared with laughter counted the demo- craIts in their seats, added the number to the IFS republicans and declared a. quorum present.
 But" calculated MT. Williams, ''the chair during that count did not have the right to direct that gavel at me three times and count" Oaughter)
 "The chair withdraws the direction" said Speaker Cannon, and during the laughter that followed he declared the House in committee of the whole on the bill.
 The eight-hour bill was at once offered according to the rule.
 Mr. Clark of Missouri gave notice that he would immediately prepare a bill ex- tending the Chinese exclusion act to the isthmus of Panama, and I will make it extend to Japanese coolies, too,' he de-
  me- and I will make you get out into the open if you intend to dig that canal with Chinamen."
 Every possible point in the progress of the amendment was fought.
 MT Littaur moved to close debate on it. At once a move for vote by tellers was made and secured. On the adoption of the amendment the same procedure was followed. The amendment was adopted S3 to 8.
 Chinese Exclusion Amendment.
 MT. Clark offered Chinese exclusion amendment according to his announce ment and before it went out in a point of order, he read remarks of Chairman Shonts of the canal commission, saying it was a mistake to hamper the con- struction of the canal with the eight-hour law. the contract labor laws, or any other but police and sanitary laws.
 For the democrats, MT. Clark of Mis- souri demanded a roll call on the eight hour waiver for the canal and MT. Lit taur moved adjournment, This motion was contested and had to be put twice with a division of the House before 1t was declared ten minutes later
 The vote of the eight-hour amendment will be taken up the first thing in the morning; after that the bill will be put on it's passage.

NOTES

All of the clubs with the exception of the Nineteenth Century and the Highland Book club, which hold their meetings on Wednesday, had their weekly assemblies yesterday afternoon. It is rather remark able that the club spirit has no indica- ton of waning in Birmingham. but on the contrary club women seem to take more interest every year In their club work. It Is, too, worthy of note that the per sonnel of many of the clubs remains un- changed from year to year. In certain ciubs tho membership undergo oes changes that are due to change of residence, but many of the club lists are practically the same as they were years ago.
 small and brilliant coterie of women who meet once week to study Shake speare, but who have no regular officers, and have not gone in for club constitu- tions and bylaws. have been doing some specially fine work this winter. Among them are Mrs. Julia Neely Finch. Mrs. Samuel Will John, Mrs. N. B. Feagin, Mrs. B. Lloyd Guice. Mrs. C. J. Sharp. Miss Rittenberry and several others. They generally meet in the morning, which has always been favored time for study among the Highland Book club. The other clubs give up whole afternoons to work, and if a member should deliberately sac rifice her club afternoon for bridge, or afternoon tea,or for anything considered frivious, she runs the risk of being held in disrepute by her club. It has been said that 1t is easier to get into the United States Senate than into certain club in this city that has a very brilliant mem bership
