BOWIE AT CAPITOL
HE ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN N
 REACHES HOUSE LATE.
Win Introduce a Resolution Fixing Time for Congress to Accent Formally Statue of Dr.
 Jabe3 L. M. CurrY.

Washington, Dec. 10. .-(Special. )-- Representative Bowie was in his seat in the House today for the first time this session, having been detained in Alabama on account of pressing private matters.
 Mrs. Bowie and daughters will not arrive here until after the Christmas holidays.
 MT. Bowie will introduce shortly a resolution fixing a time for Congress to accept formally the statue of the late Rev. Dr. Curry. gift to the na- ton by the State of Alabama The statue Is already in Statuary Hall and the wrappings have been removed SO that visitors can pass judgment upon it. It is considered a credftable work Of art.
 Tn the annual report of the Secretary of the Interior which was made public today 1t is shown that during the past year only one person in Alabama was convicted of violating the public land laws.
 It was Samuel Butler, guilty of tim Der trespassing, and was indicted last April, found guilty, sentenced to impris- onment for one hour and fined $S25. The fine was paid.
 There were hundreds of convictions in many of the Western States. Rep resentative Clayton says that in his talks with members of the House lie does not find much sentiment in favor of the proposition advanced by Mir. John Wesley Gaines, Of Tennessee, and others to increase the salaries of menI- bera of Congress.
 Southerners generally talk as if they will vote against the bill if 1t is brought into the House. Most of the Repre- sentatlves state that they would not feel justified in voting raise in thei- pay unless they should receive specific instructions from the voters to their respective districts. Ex-Congressmap Tucker of Virginia, President Of the Jamestown. Exposition. was at the Cap itol today. He says the buildings on the exposition grounds are progressing satisfactorily and he thinks everything will be ready for the opening of the exhibition next April.

 "The Montgomery correspondent of the Sporting News writes story to the to trade Charlton Molesworth for Fred Houtz. The man is dead wrong. Birmingham does not wish to part with the service of Molesworth. even for a player as splendid as isS Houtz. Since the story has been published, 1t might be well to go into details.
 The Montgomery management would like for Mulesworth to manage the Pretzels next year. Birmingham does not wish to stand in Molesworth's way of promotion. Birmingham, if Moles- worth is made manager. will release it's claim upon him, provided Montgomery offers propers. inducements. It could hardly be expected of Birmingham to turn loose one of the most valuable outfielders in Dixie without something in returnsr TnereIpre, 1t was mentioned that a satisfactory offer would be Houtz in exchange for Molesworth. pro vided sufficient monetary attraction were offered in addition"
