CHARLESTON HARBOR
 HAS ADVANTAGES
Is Commodious and Is Nearer to Pan anna Strategieally Than Is Either
 New Orleans or Galveston.

Charleston, s. C., January 11.-At 8 dinner given last night by the city of Charleston in honor of the new United States cruiser Charleston, Admiral F. w.
 Dicklns, commanding the coast squadron of the North Atlantic fleet, now on duty at this port. gave some most valuable and interesting facts showing the avail ability of Charleston as base of naval operations He has had a careful survey of Charleston harbor made. and said:
 ''The harbor Is a commodious one and the water and bar will now permit any of our battleships to enter this port There Is about thirty feet on the bar at high water. After entering the harbor fifty battleships with twenty-six feet draft can be anchored in Charleston harbor at single anchor, four hundred yards apart
 with a scope of forty-five fathoms of chain. Sxty-five battleships with the same draft, and the same scope of chain can be moored in Charleston harbor 1000 feet apart. Thirty-five battleships can be moored above the battery. Strategically hSsCharleston navy yard is nearer our banB in the West Indies than any other yard on the mainland. It is little nearer the Panama canal than Galveston, and about 100 miles nearer than New Orleans"

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Montgomery, January 11.-(Special J.. The supreme court of the state has up- held the law creating and defining the duties of the supernumerary judge, hold ing that 1t Is good and also that the rights of the supernumerary judge are the same as any other circuit judge. and that he can hold adjourned terms if he sees fit. These points had been raised in the Olney Whatley vs. the state case, from the circuit court of Walker county. However the case was reversed upon a techncality.
 The court also today sealed the doom of Frank Adams, convicted of the mur- der of Dave Lee, in the mines of the Pratt City district, and set February 13, as his day of execution in the jail yard at Birmingham. His only chance now Is for the governor to interfere. Adams and Lee were convicts and fell out down in the mines. Adams drove his coal pick into the head of the other, killing him at once.
 The following opinions as whole were handed down by the court today:
 Justice Tyson: Lum Keller vs. the State of Alabama; appeal from Walker cir cult court; affirmed.
 Justice Dowdel: Sallie Mcleod ct al, vs. William Mcleod; appeal from Barbour chancery court; reversed and rendered.
 Justice Simpson: Frank Adams vs. the State of Alabama; appeal from Jefferson criminal court. affirmed.
 Ebert Carter ct all vs. the State of Alabama; appeal from Bessemer city court; reversed and remanded
 Justice Anderson: Olney Whatley vs. the. State of Alabama; appeal from Wall ker circuit court: reversed and remanded.

Is Put on the Calendar.

Washington, January 11.-In secret ses- sion today the Senate discussed the status of Senator Bacon's Moroccan resolution for three hours, and in the end it was put on the calendar.
 Vice President Fairbanks declared that his course in placing the resolution on the calendar had been the unvarying practice and he cited as a precedent a ruling made by Vice President Morton In an identical situation. Several other precedents were quoted in brief speeches
 Senators Teller and Morgan defended the contention of Senator Bacon that the resolution had been placed on the calen- dar wrongfully, the first mentioned mak- ing a long speech in support of his po- siton. No republican members talked on the resolution. leaving the course of the presiding officer to himself to defend They were ready to support him, how ever, had an appeal been taken from his ruling. The effect of the vice presi- dents decision Is to leave the resolu- ton on the calendar where 1t must re- main until taken therefrom by majority vote of the Senate, or by unanimous con- sent. and therefore, will prevent its con sideration by the Senate or by Senate committee.
