went through the ceremony OF taking
the endowments in the year 1880. and
the head of the Mormon church stated
in his testimony that the ceremony Is
now the same that it has always been.
before mentioned would seem to be
wholly Incompatible with the duty
which Mr.. Smoot as a member of the
United States Senate would owe TO the
nation 1t is dificult to conceive how
one could discharge the obligation
which rests supon every Senator to so
perform his official duties as to pro-
United States and at the same time be
calling down the vengeance of heaven
on this nation because of the killing of
the founders Of the Mormon church
sixty years ago.
That Reed Snoot possesses all the
qualifications prescribed by the consti-
tuition to make him eligible to a seat in
the Senate and that the regularity Of
hiE election by the Legislature of the
State of Utah is not questioned in any
manner is the. conclusion reached by
the minority of the Senate committee
on privileges and elections, which sub
mitted its views today This report Is
signed by Senators Foraker. Reveridge

The minority report holds that 1t has
been shown that Smoot disapproves OF
polygamy and refers to the testimony
on the endowment ceremony as limited
In amount. vague and indefinite In
character and utterly unreliable. be-
cause of the disreputable and untrust-
worthy character of the witnesses"

although under improved conditions he
might be prevailed upon to do So"
Thus begins the annual report of A.
W Ferguson. executive secretary to
Governor General .Ide. Ferguson says
that conditions have not improved to a
great extent during the past year, and
the executive bureau is having trouble
in securing Americans who will remain
in the service. The grade of men com
ing from the United States is consider
ably below that ofsthe standard of the
clerical forces sent here several years
ago. Although the executive bureau
has been established four years the ONCE
force of 137 persons includes only FIVE
Americans The Filipino members are
the original personnel of the. ONCE.
The great stumbling block" saws
FERGUSON, lis that few Americans in
tend TO make the Philippines their home
or stay on the islands for an extended
period.
This condition" he continues "can
be overcome by making Philippine ap-
pointments a permanent means of live
lihood by providing an effective system
OF transfer to the Federal service after
a reasonable period of service here 1t
is believed that if the conditions in re-

be useless to try to influence men to
come out here unless something perma-
nent is offered them at the expiration
of q reasonable term
AS ] am convinced that a permanent
civil service under present conditions
is entirely out of the question" says the
report lit is suggested that to secure
the services Of competent men for a
limited period that each American be
given the right Of transfer to the Fed
eral service upon application accompa-
MED by certificate of eligibility for
transfer, the United States civil service

Government might place Americans in
the insular. service on the same footing,
as clerks in the War Department serv-
ing in military Offices in the Philip
pines, sending them out for temporary
service only. Either system will bene-

In conclusion the report says that the
Filipino employees nave shown marked
capacity and desire TO increase their
store OF knowledge 1t has been dem
onstrated that under proper auspices
they can perform original work of high
character.

John New. Ford. vice president of the Louisiana Bank and Trust company and president of the Shreveport Athletic as soeiation, is in ehe city the guest of George Egleston.
 Birmingham Is wonderful city" said Mr. Ford yesterday. T have made ire auent visits here. but never before have I realized the magnitude and grandeur of the city until today. 1 have visited the eastern and northwestern cities, but I do not believe that there is one that has a greater future than Birmingham. This city Is forging ahead in every depart ment. I was here at the athletic meet during the state fair as the representa- tive of the Shreveport Athletic club was impressed with the energy and hustle of the city. but this visit has convinced me that Birmingham has no equal in this part of the country. l have met men from this place and they were all proud to claim Birmingham as their home. Such a spirit of pride in and love for city is most assuredly an evidence that business is on aAhigh plane and that the citizens have confidence in It's future greatness
 During my present stay have witness cd enough to convince me that Birming- ham Is one of the most wonderful cities in the south. I have noticed that several four and five-story buildings have been erected since my last visit. l have been informed that fifteen-story office build ing is in course of erection and that a twelve-story hotel will be built.
 T have said all that 1 can in behalf

of Birmingham and I am sincere in the statement Now desire to say some thing in behalf of the Little Giant of the Southwest, Shreveport. Shreveport, as every one knows is suffering from the yellow fever plague of last year. To- gether with this is the short cotton crop. which is 50 per cent less than that of 1901 in that part of the country My home city as a result is witnessing temporary finan- cial depression, which l firmly believe will end in a few months. We have in North Louisiana the faculty of getting on our feet in a short time. Shreveport, like Birmingham, .s a place of natural re- sources.
 This district has iron and coal on which to depend. Shreveport has now a natural gas supply which 1 believe will solve the fuel supply there. For num- Der of years the lack of fuel has been a draw back to our development. The na- tural gas supply from the Ananas oil field, which is being brought to Shreve- port by a direct pipe line, will solve the fuel problem This discovery of natural gas will prove of inestmable value to Shreveport in many ways, the principal one being the erection of factories and manufacturing plants
 "The Shreveport Athletic club building burned a few nights ago, but we will erect a more commodious home in a short time"
 MT. Ford is a young man, barely 9 years of age. The high position he holds in the commercial world is due to his executive ability and familiarity with conditions in the southwest district, so his friends state. MT Ford will remain in Birmingham until tonight when he will leave for home.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The American Lord" "

The American Lord" a comedy which William Fl. Crane and an excellent SUD- porting company presented at the Jeffer- son theatre last night. is not a wea con- structed play, but it has several char acters that are good and much refreshing comedy. It is one of those plays in which the star does most of the talking IL is "talky," but when William H. Crane Is doing the talking theatregoers do not mind. Mir. Crane was given cordial vel come last night by an audience that filled every available seat. The most preten- tious offerings of the season thus far. no matter how large, have not drawn larger crowds
 With memories of Lechat in Business Is Business" awakened 1t was a pleas ure to see MT. Crane back in a congenial role, although 1t must be confessed that his portrayal of the money-mad Frenchman was one of the strongest charaeterzations or his career In ''rhe American Iordi' MT Crane has one of those typical Amer ican roles in which he has been so sue cessful. He is a brusque westerner who has pronounced views in regard to the English nobility. He is informed that he IS the descendant or noble English fam fly and himself a lord. MT. Crane, as John Bruester, goes over to England and attempts to revolutionize English man. ners but with poor success, although his efforts are productive of much comedy
 The love which Bruester cherishes for a dashing Irish widow and the love affairs of his daughter and son with the son and daughter of his enemy, furnish most of the comedy. There are several minor characters, however, who are quaint and were presented in most en- tertaning way last night
 Miss Hilda Spong, an actress of note. played the role of the Irish widow in capital style, proving a foil to the dry humor of MT Crane. Harry Blakemore did an excellent bit of character denea- ton as the colored servant of Bruester Elmer Grandn and Emmet N4..,ney as two citizens of the wild west provoked much amusement. Edgar Norton as the curate, was also good, and the remain ing characters, while somewhat colorless, were satisfactory.
 The audience last night seemed to en- joy the play immensely, especially in the last act, when the comedy was finely presented.

TRY THREE HORSES
 TO FIRE ENGINES
A TEST WAS MADE YESTERDAY, BUT CONDITIONS WERE NOT SATISFACTORY-NEW HORSES AND HARNESS ORDERED.

A trial run was made yesterday after noon with three horses attached to the new metropolitan steamer recently ae- quired by the city. The run was made from the city hall to Eighteenth street and Fourth avenue for the purpose of ascertaining the difference between two horse team and a three-horse team
 The engine weighs over six tons and it is believed that much better time could be made going to fires with three horses instead of two, the number now used
 The tests yesterday were unsatisfactory nasmuch as the engine is not equipped with proper harness for three horses
 Chief Walton stated that neo harness and new horses had been ordered and as soon as they arrive the horses will be put through a course of training and practice runs, and that no time will be lost in getting them ready for fire service.

DETECTIVE FAILED
 TO GET HIS NEGRO
A WRIT OF HA5EAS CORPUS IS SERVED ON MEMPHIS OFFICER AS HE WAS BOARDING TRAIN WITH PRISONER.

Phelin Harris, negro, charged with larceny of a considerable amount of brass in Birmingham and wanted in Memphis on two charges, Is, through Attorney Charles Denegre, making a desperate at tempt to regain his liberty
 Harris was sent from the police court to the criminal court last week on a charge of grand larceny He was re- leased yesterday morning by Judge Weaver on a writ of habeas corpus, but was immediately re-arrested by Detective r. J. Hum of Memphis.
 The negro's attorney went to Judge Dan A. Greene and secured second writ of habeas corpus. Suspectlng such action Detective Hum, accompanied by Detec- tive Bodeker, took the prisoner to Pratt City, intending to board the Frisco train for Memphis at that place at l:30 D. m. Just as MT. Hum was about to board the train, Attorney Denegne and Deputy Sheriff Meredith stepped off and served him with the second writ issued that morning.
 The prisoner was brought back to Bir- mingham and lodged in the city jail and will appear before Judge Dan A. Greene this morning.
 Detective Hum stated that Governor Jelks had issued all the necessary papers and he anticipates no trouble in again getting possession of the prisoner.
 1t is charged that on the night of March 2, 1905, Harris and other negroes held up a Davie avenue car in Memphis, and that Harris shot at Conductor w. V Adams, who was in charge of the ear three times. On the 27th of March, five days later, the police succeeded in capturing Sam Jones, negro confed- crate of Harris, who was tried and sent enced to ten years hard labor in the pen itentiary Harris escaped but was cap tured In Birmingham by Policeman Nix about a week ago.

 been steadily at work and the months have been highly profitable. This is a single example which might be multiplied many times
 But of course the favorable weather is most felt in the fact that railroad traffic Is being handled normally and is not sub jet to the terrible delays and interrup- tions that marked recent winters And in America today the railroads are the arteries of commerce. Even if we have some severe weather from now on, the season is so far advanced that but little damage is to be anticipated. Of course the mild weather has not blown every body good, for the coal and coke men have not found trade exactly as in previous years In fact the coke situation from the sellers standpoint leaves very much to be desired in the way of prices.
 In pig iron there has been only fair amount of new business during the week Consumers in tue main. steel makers ex- cepted, are supplied with what pig iron will be needed during the next thirty to sixty ~ays. Furnaces are full of orders and are in no shape to sell for anything like quick shipment Orders for future delivery can be taken care of nicely, but the quantity of spot iron in furnace yards is scarcely worth mentioning, and com plants of slow shipments are numerous. There will undoubtedly be a very smart buying movement earlier in the spring than is usual and because of the large volume of general trade there is every reason to expect that this buying move ment will be one of large proportions, just as was the unprecedented buying movement in the fall.
 Prices are steady.
