BY Our Regular Correspondent


The most surprising story that
has been sprung in Washington
for sometime is that to the effect
that King Leopold of Belgium has
for the past two years maintained
a lobby here in Washington to
prevent action by congress on the
alleged atrocities in the Congo
Free State. The inspiration for
this story is hardly absolute; it
comes from a New York paper
which has long been known to
prefer sensationalism to accuracy
but semiconfirmation was given
to the story this week by the &C
ton of Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, who dismissed his secre-
tary, Thos. @. Garrett, who is
. charged with being one of the en-
-ployees of the Belgium lobby. The
story of this lobby is to the effect
that all of the reports of atrocities
!, in the rubber district Of the Congo
Free State are true. 1t will be re-
membered of course that these
stories have been in circulation for
Z the past six or seven years, and
have been vouched for principally
by missionaries, some of whom
! had, and some of whom had not
been on the ground. There was
also confirmation from other oc-
casional travellers in this remote
zone.
1t is claimed that not only were
{. all of these stories true, but that
the King of the Be!gians knew
they were true and maintained q
lobby in Washington for the sole
purpose of preventing congress
from passing any legislation look
ing to an official investigation OF
the charges. The head of this
lobby is reported to have been
Colonel K%owalsky, a naturalized
American citizen but retained by
King Leopold to look after his in
terests in America. There were q
number of other members of the
lobby mentioned in the story, but

Congo matter from a Congress
sional INVESTIGATION was a con-
cession of $500, 900 acres of rub
Der land recently made to Thomas
F. Ryan of New York, who was
previously an employee of Secre-
tary Root when the latter vas
practicing law in New York.
Senator Morgan this week prac-
tically dismissed his secretary by
ordering him to report to the Sar-
geant at Arms for assignment on
other duties about the Senate.
This is one of the things which
gives more color of variety to the
general story of the Congo lobby.
If the charges r in the main true,
they will naturally result in q very
searching Congressional investi-
CATION and will certainly end in
the recall of Minister Mouceur,
the present Belgian representa-
tive in Washington.
The annual report of Secretary
Hitchcock contains a number of
references to the gigantic land
frauds which r now agitating the
Interior Department. The Secre-
tary says that there have been in
dictments returned against 400
persons, and of these 80 have al
ready been convicted. There will
of course be a great many more
indictments after the present SER
les of Investigations in Wyoming
is furnished. The Secretary adds
that in a large number of the con-
victions, the local courts have

alties they have imposed tend
rather to encourage further frauds
than to suppress them. He says
that his previous recommends.
tions for the repeal of the Stone
act, the desert land law, and the
Timber Act are all renewed, anG
that only in the repeal of these
measures a the government hope
for permanent protection from

IN MEMORY OF MIR. LEVI
LOCAL LODGES CELEBRATE B'NAr
 BIRTH DAY.
Montgomery Jews Eulogire Distfn- sufshed Dead President of the Order and Participate in Im-
 nrHsfve EEercisens

The life of the late Leo N. Levi was euictgized yesterday at a joint meeting of the two local lodges of B'Nai B.Rith. The occasion was B.Nai B'Rith Day and the Emanuel and Alabama lodges join- ed in revering the memory of the illus trious Israelitish leader.
 Beginning at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and lasting an hour and a half in,~the rooms of the lodge on Court Square, the time was devoted to infor- nal addresses bearing upon the life of MT. Levi
 Leo N. Levi, formerly resided in Gal weston, Tex, and during his residence in that city he was for many years president of the grand lodge of Dis trict No. T. On moving later to New York, he was elected to the presidency of the international order and he was holding this great office at the time of his death.
 Yesterdays meeting was presided over by Judah T. Moses. president of the Alabama lodge. NJ. Mohr, c. F. Moritz and Jacques Loeb spoke of MT. Levi as B'Nai BRith leader. Henry S. Marx, who formerly lived in Galveston but who is now a citizen of Montgomery and was personally &C., uuainted with Mir. Levi, spoke on the home life of the leader and his citizen ship in Galveston.
 The exercises were interesting and impressive and at the close 1t was an- nounced that eight or nine young men would be initiated into the order at the regular meeting of the Emanuel lodge next Sunday.

Beginning February list Railroads Will Grant Much Butter Freight Schedules to This

Business men of Montgomery and Selma will learn with pleasure that they have won out in their fight for a readiustment of railroad rates. The following from Louisville paper will prove an appropriate New Years gift for them:
 "A readjustment of the rates from Ohio and Mississippi River crossings to Selma and Montgomery, Ala, was de- cided upon by the Southeastern Mis- sissippi Valley Tariff Association at the meeting held at The Seelbach yesterday morning and afternoon. The change is sweeping in It's scope, and is to go into effect February 1. It involves changes in practically all rates obtaining on freight passing through the two river crossings to Selma and Montgomery. /
 The complaint originated several months ago and has been before the as- sociation for discussion st several of the last meetings. The session held at The Seelbach yesterday was for the final settlement, and practically every article of the original complaint was granted. The association was ad-' journed late yesterday afternoon with out taking up the case of the reship- ping grain rates to Southeastern terri tory through Ohio and Mississippi River xateways,"

A RELIABLE MEDICINE
An 0piOnIOn That Should be of Inferes1
 To Every Person in Montgomery.

So many patent medicines and ad- vertised cures are now offered to the public that our readers should be glad to know the opinion of a man who has spent years in handling them and profit by his advice.
 Our local druggist, F. c.
