THE FAIR IS ASSURED
STATE EXHIBITS IN MONTGOMERY
 NEXT FALL.
Alabama Agricultural Association May Be Organized This Week--Man- ufacturers are Already Ap-
 plying for Space.

The Alabama Agricultural .Associa- tion will give it's first annual State Far in Montgomery next fall.
 Sufficient subscriptions to the stock of the Association have been secured to assure this positive announcements. ~ is proposed to incorporate the Associ- ation with a capital stock of s5o,oeO' : Already over $30.o0o of this stock has been taken. An encouraging feature to the promoters of the enterprise IS the fact that voluntary subscriptions 10 the stock have come in from Selma Anniston, Eufaula, Troy and other points In Middle Alabama.
 One farmer writing from West Ala kama expressed great enthusiasm over the project. He said that Montgomery was the natural point for State Fair and that aside from the great oppor- tunity 1t would offer to farmers he be- lieved 1t would prove to be paying investment.
 Subscriptions have also been received to the stock of the Association from persons residing in Georgia and Ten nessee. Indeed, the promoters of the Fair have been pleasingly surprised at the interest shown In the enterprise throughout the whole State and ln un- expected places.
 The committees of Montgomery bus mess men will continue tnelr WOTk tilAS week of canvassing for subscriptions and it is expected that before the week closes a suflcient amount will have been secured to justify permanent orr ganization, the election of officers and the filing of articles of incorporation. These things will be done, of course, by the stockholders.
 An indication of the widespread in- terest in the proposed State Fair is the fact that applications for space for exhibits are already being received from manufacturers in different parts of the country.
 At the earliest moment possible a site for the Fair grounds will be selected from those which have been offered and the preparation of grounds will be- gin. Shortly thereafter contracts will be awarded for construction of build ings as 1t Is essential that the Associ ation should be in working order early in the summer. so that foreign exhib itors may have the premium lists in ha Id when they begin making up their circuits.
 It is understood that as many as six sites have been offered for the Fair grounds but the promoters of the Fair will not discuss their location. @a

SPORTING NEWS HANDLES
 FRANK WITHOUT GLOVES

In addition to mourning the enmity of every journal published in the south. save those in New Orleans, Charlie Franks s recent dictatorial policy has brought down on his head the wrath of the Sporting News, one of the representative baseball publications of America.
 The discussion is occasioned by the all legged introduction into the game of doe tored'' balls. On account of the charges and counter-charges. that are prevailing at present. this publication does not care to dabble in the matter. However, the alleged dictatorial policy of the Pelcans manager and his behavior relative to Jakey Atz, is rather harshly criticised. It will be seen from the following story partially reproduced from the Sporting News, that Manager Frank, in his pres ent course, will meet not only with op- position from the cities of this league other than New Orleans, but tbat he will not have his way, without the rather strong interference of outside publiea- tions:
 'The Sporting News prefers to await the result of an official inquiry before taking stand on the accusation that Frank and his players have introduced doctored balls into the games. The dis appearance of Umpire Kennedy is at tributed by some to i'll treatment by the New Orleans public. who, 1t Is charged, were melted to acts of hostility to him
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-30

by home players. After the Southern League has acted on these charges, it is not improbable that the National board will investigate the relations between Player Atz, an asset of the Los Angeles club. and the New Orleans club While this players application for an order re- straining the Southern League from pre- venting him from playing with the New Orleans club was pending before a judge of the United States court he practced daily with Franks team and. on the day that the injunction was refused. umpred a Southern League game at New Orleans. Judge Kavanaugh, acting under instruc- tions from the National board, warned Frank not 10 play Atz, but that did not deter the manager of the Pelicans from harboring the man and affording him aid and countenance in rebellion against the order of the National board by giving him a position as substitute umpire in the absence of the Southern League exec utive from Little Rock. The spirit of eomity was violated and an edict of the National board disregarded. But this is not the first time that Frank has set himself on a pedestal and defied organized baseball A few years ago he deserted the Southern League and formed a rival organization, which developed so much prospective strength that those whom he opposed, sued for peace and purchased it at Franks price. He has been tractable since he secured control of the club in the largest city of the south, but his re- cent acts have revived the animosity that was entertained toward him during the time he was outside the breastworks of organized baseball

SMITH NOW OPEN GOLF CHAMPION
NASSAU MAN SHOWS WONDER FuL VERSATILITY IN PLAYING,
 PART fOF HIS WORK BEING
 DONE DURING RAIN STORM.

Lake Forest. H., June 2s.-Alec Smith of Nassau today won the open golf cham pionshp of the United States With a fotal of 295 strokes for the 72 holes play. With an advantage of three strokes over Willie Anderson. his nearest competitor on yesterdays 36-hole play Smith today made the morning round in 73 and the afternoon round, part of which was played in deluge of rain, in 75. Nothing could better show the versatility of the Scot or his ability quickly to adapt his play to changed conditions than the weather 7nnd course conditions today. During the morning the greens were lightning fast swith a .strong south wind prevailing Before p1ay at the first hole had been completed in the afternoon. the storm broke and thereafter conditions tried the souls of the competitors. Smith took g for the first rine holes, higher figure thai he hass had during the tournament, but he played the last nine holes in 36 The last three holes were made in ?, B and 1.
 Smith now holds both the western and national open championship last week he took the honors in the western at Homewood.

Emporia's New "Garbage."
m the Ernnoria (Kan.l Gazette.

From the ElnDOild ,hahJ ohIcttt.
 Atchison may have her. brewery Hutch- inson may have her salt works, Topeka her woolen mills. Wichita her packing house, Out Emporia is about to have a garbage. We can't spell 1t. and we can't pronounce it, but is livery stable for automobiles, and Bmporia is proud that it will take an ocean of arnica to take out her swelling. A garbage, or gar age. or whatever you call it. Is great thing for town. It indicates rich patrician population that nothing else can initiate. Plenty of families in Kansas keep two hired girls. and a man to now the lawn: plenty of families In Kansas use finger bowls when there isn't com pany. and have the ice frozen in cubes. and make salad at the table. But that's nothing. The real Kansas arfstocracy Is the kasoline aristocracy-that is the real thing And as sign of Enporia social rrandeus she Is going to have one of them blamed garbages!

M'CURDYS ARE CRITICISED

New York, June 29-The sixth and final report of the committee appointed by the Mutual Life Insurance company trustees last October to investigate the manage ment of the company was made public today Practically every department of the company was examined and while charges of mismanagement and wrong doing are made. the report contains lit tie that has not already been disclosed.
 Accompanying the final report is a sup plementary statement by William H. Truesdale and John w. Auchincloss, which explains some of the findings of the experts. It is stated for instance that the company holds about $3O,000000 worth of real estate mortgage loans which are in excess of 60 per cent of the valuation of the properties which form their se- curity. The committee explains this, how ever, by the statement that the law per mlts mortgages to the amount of 66 2-3 per cent of the value of the property, and that there is therefore nothing un- lawful or unwise in these loans.
 In support of the claim that the real estate holdings of the company have been estimated at conservative figures, the supplementary statement says that the company has sodl more than 20 per cent of the real estate, aggregating $1,0O0,- 900 since the early part of the year, and that these holdings brought over $60,00O over their appraised value The expert &C., countants question the propriety of the companys loan participation, but the con- mission says that they simply mark change in the method of contracting such business which has grown up since the creation of the various companies in New York

tidal wave produced by earthquake killed 27.O0O on the coast of Japan. At Martinique 10000 perished. But these disasters are nothing-they are but drops in the ocean, when we think of the daily and hourly tribute of hu- man victims to disease. Here are the figures:
 37.500. .000 persons die each year.
 103,00 persons die each day.
 4,300 persons die each hour
 70 persons die each minute.
 person dies each second.
 Every thirty minutes, then, more people die than were killed by the earthquake Most of these are the vlc- tins of preventable diseases. In the United States alone 416,000 persons die annually of pneumonia; 413,000 persons die of consumption 144,000 persons die of apoplexy; 130000 per sons die of cancer-more than a mil lion persons dying of dieases only, all of which are preventable. If the earth quake is terrible because of the loss of human life, here is something al. most infinitely more terrible. Day and night this vast procession of corpses 100000 day-each with its funeral car and weeping mourners, passes down the highway of life to new-made graves. We have become accustomed to the funeral dirge and the mourner's vail, Our hearts are calloused to the stricken mothers grief and the mother less child's lament.
