COALITION WITH HUGHES.
President and Governor Will Unite to
Gain Control Of New York.

Washington, April %. - President
Roosevelt will use the powerful inilu-
ence of his great Office to uphold the
hands of GOV. Hughes and in the. flu
ture federal appointments will be
made with this end in view, the pur-
pose being to prevent the Odell-Wads-
worth, and other anti-Roosevelt fac
tions regaining control of the state.
This course will be pursued with
the ultimate aim of securing the New
York delegates to the next republican
national convention for the man who
best represents the Roosevelt policies.
This is interpreted here to mean that
efforts will be made by the admins
tration to land the New York dele
gates in the Taft camp, although it
was denied yesterday on the highest
authority that President Roosevelt is
committed to Secretary Taft or to any
other person for the republican presi-
dental nomination.
This movement is not tor the pur-
pose of booming Gov. Hughes for the
presidential or vice presidential nom
| nations, but as the governor and
President Roosevelt stand for many
of the same policies, President Roose'
welt is anxious to see those policies
| triumph, and ii became known yester-
day that there has been the warmest
cooperation between President Roose
welt and Gov. Hughes. In the future
there will be closer working arrange
ment and Gov. Hughes will be consult
ed in the matter of federal appoint
ments and devise means to keep the
control of the state out of the hands
of these opposed to Roosevelt.
The working arrangement was de
veloped yesterday as the result of the
attack made on President Roosevelt
by former Representative Wadsworth
who denounced the president as q
'fakir and a humbug" and character
lied him as the bloody hero of Ket
tie hill" Wadsworth made these
statements because President Roose
welt demanded the resignation of his
friend, Archie Sanders, the collector
of internal revenue at Rochester, N
Y. Sanders resignation has not We
been received at the treasury depart
ment, or white house, and If it i:
not forthcoming within the next two
days the guillotine will be set in mo
ton, and the official head of Sanders
will be dropped in the bucket. No Sc
cret was made at the white house yes
terday of the intention of the presi
dent to dismiss Sanders if he does no
hand over at once the resignation tina
, has been demanded.
1t was declared at the White hous
yesterday that President Roosevelt
, will not make any response to the al
tack made upon him by eX-Represen
tative Wadsworth, but it was mad
known that this attack will be accept
ed at the white house as challeng
for fight for the control of the state

Object of the System.

The object of the new schedule in
outlining a method of Systematically
handling merchandise is to expedite
the freight so loaded that it can be
unloaded with the least chance of 60
ing astray or being damaged.
The first of last January the road
J put on corps of inspectors, who are
continually riding the various mer-
chandise trains, looking through
freight houses to discover the cause
of freight being miscarried or dam
aged and rectifying errors. The two
inspectors of over short and damaged
freight west of the Missouri are A. c.
I Wadsworth of Omaha, formerly con
ductor on the eastern division, and S
T. Skeene of Norfolk, formerly CHIEF
clerk at the uptown station
There are five inspectors east OF
D., the river to handle the work on that
portion of the system, making sever
inspectors in all for the entire North
western system.
Among the advantages, aside from
, lnSurlng less short and damaged
freight, will be the use of less cars
by the company, which represents {
saving of no inconsiderable amount
and saving in loss to the company
for the short and damaged merchan
disc.
Two extra men will be employed il
the Norfolk depot as a result of the
new system, to transfer the local mer
chandise which enters this point t.
be transferred out locally north anC
west. BY means of this transfer, five
cars a day will be saved on trains
running west and north of Norfolk.
Benefits Norfolk Merchants.

 Of the New Court at Mobile

Hon. Saffold Berney was named by Governor Conner yesterday as the judge of the new Court of Law and Equity of Mobile county, the appointment be- ing made at the same time the Goy- bill creating the new court.
 The appointment of Mir. Berney did not come as a surprise ,as 1t has been understood for several days that the Governor and the bar of Mobile had agreed on his appointment. Tn the be- ginning there were several candidates for the judgeship, but for the past few weeks the race had narrowed down to about only three candidates, Saffold Berney, Frank J. Inge and Palmer Pillans. It is understood that Mir. Inge withdrew from the race several days ago.
 The members of the Mobile bar had endorsed the candidacy of Mir. Pillans, who also had the endorsement Of the Mobile delegation which recently vis- ited the Capitol in the interest of the bill, but a few days ago a conference was held with the Governor, and an agreement was reached, with MT, Ber- ney left in a clear field.
 Judge Berney has been in the city two days and was at the Capitol yes terday when the appointment was made. He has many friends and rela- tives here and was the recipient sf congratulations yesterday. He is a brother of the late William Berney, of Montgomery, who was president of the American National Bank.

Washington, Mgust s.-(special)-- W. J. Oliver of Knoxville. Tenn. who probably has more railroad contracts at present than any other railroad builder In this country. Is here. He has put in a bid to furnish dumping cars, wood, iron and steel for the Pan- anna canal
 If he Is successful 1t Is understood a great proportion of these supplies will be purchased in Alabama. The bids have been opened, and within a few weeks 1t will be decided by the Panama commission who will get the contract. The superintendent of the works in Panama will be in Washing. ton probably tomorrow. His opinion will have considerable weight.
 Secretary Taft is quite friendly to Mir. Oliver, and so far as he can in. fluence matters would be glad to se' the Tennesseean have a show. It iG a peculiar system of bidding on ac- count of the way the specifications were drawn up, and the contract ir this instance does not necessarily SC 10 the lowest bidder.
 MT. oliver is constructing three million dollar dam near Chattanooga which will furnish immense power fol that city. Tn speaking of the Mussel Shoals projects in Alabama he sait he considered them among the most important and promising of any in thu United States, and his understanding is that eventually several large power plants will be in operation at ths shoals
