BONAPARTE READY
 TO LEAVE CABINET
HIS POLICIES ARE UNDERSTOOD TO BE AT VARIANCE WITH THOSE OF THE PRESIDENT IN MANY WAYS.

New York, August 20.-The Journpl of Commerce today publishes a story regard ing the possible retirement of Attorney General Bonaparte from the cabinet. It says:
 According to important interest in this city very close to the admlnistra- ton, the usefulness of Attorney General Bonaparte, a member of the Presi- dents cabinet, has eliminated It Is not expected that immediate retirement will result, for such action might be con- strued as a sign of weakening in the Presidents antitrust policy, construc- ton particularly distasteful to MT. Roose- welt, since not the slightest justification exists for 1t. But there is no question: according to the excellent information that the President Is not in sympathy with the recent hippant and undignifed attitude and the at least doubtful legal procedure displayed by tho Attorney Gen eral, but Is in all respects opposed to them"
 Journal of Commerce says, 1t is under stood. Is condemned by all the Presidents most trusted advisers; and 1t adds. there Is excellent reason to believe some lm- portant changes in the cabinet would constitute a protest against executive endorsement of MT Bonapartes pro gramme.

 Made of Child.
GRAND PARENTS CLAIM HER

The habeas corpus proceedings in stituted by William NJ. Bailey to re- cover the possession of his 5-year- old heard in the circuit court yesterday be- fore Judge A. O. Lane.
 The testimony was at times highly sensational and was calculated to show a very great degree of nlfeeling be- tween the petitioner and the child 8 grandparents Hamilton B. Russell and Mrs. Carrie A. Russell with whom the child has resided since it's birth, and who now refuse to give her up.
 The case was set for 10 o'clock, but 1t was II when the first witness, Dr. Robinson. took the stand He testified having treated the child for stomach troubles during it's infancy and that at times it was very seriously i'll and required great care and nursing to save it's life. He testified that Mrs. Russell paid him for his services.
 William M. Bailey, the petitioner. stated that he was the father of Sadie Moseley Bailey that the child was about 5 years old; that his wife died shortly after the child was born and that he and the child's grandparents. Mir and Mrs. Russell, lived together for several years. but had recently fallen out and he wanted to take his child to Washington, where ms mother had offered to provide for him and his daughter.
 The witness in the course of his ex- annina tfon ,ipo closed a chapter of domestic infelicity between himself and the respondents and which eventually eliminated in their separation.
 Several witnesses were introduced by the petitioner to testify to his moral character and his ability to provide for the support and maintenance of the child.
 Mrs. Russell testified that the petI- tioner married her daughter in Savan- nah and came to Birmingham; that her daughter was only 16 years of age at the time of her marriage and that the petitioner invited her to come to Bir- mingham to live with them. Witness stated that her husband remained in Savannah where he was employed on the police force. but left 1t to come to Birmingha am on the promise of tho peti- tioner to secure him a job here. Wit ness said that her husband sent her SEQ every month. which she spent on her daughter and herself and part of which was paid to Dr. Robinson. Wit ness further stated that for two years she kept the child alive by her con stant attention, that she loved the child and that she and her husband were able and willing to provide for it.

GOVERNOR GLENN
 WISHES FOR PEACE
CONFERENCE IS HELD BETWEEN
 GOVERNOR AND COUNSEL FOR
 SOUTHERN RAILWAY AIMING AT SETTLEMENT.

New York. August 20.-Another move toward peace between the state of North Carolina and the Southern railway has been made. Governor Glenn of North Carolina. just previous to his departure Tor home last night. had a conference with A. IT. Thom, general counsel of tho Southern railway. in the course of which he made some suggestions which he be-
 ieves may lead to peace. Tn speaking of the conference. Governor Glenn said:
 My interview with Mr. Thom was in the interest of good will and harmony. and to save the cost, now accumulatins. in the holding Of the suit in this city. I made two suggestions to MT Thom, tho first of which was that we stop the talk ing of testimony until the two suits one from the United States circuit court and the other from the state court, are ap- pealed so that the supreme court of ths United States can pass on the jurisdiction of the two courts and that after this was done each party would decide what course to take.
 My second suggestion was that tha railroads stop their suits and try to live under the 2l4-cent rate, and if after giving the law a trial they find that they cap- not continue under it and live, then they should appeal 10 the justice and far mndedness of the people in the state of North Carolina, to right the wrong. and 1t would be done"
 Mir Thom told Governor Glenn that Ia would bring his suggestion to the atten- ton Of the Southern railway officials and would let him know as soon as possible. The conference being between the North Carolina executive and MT. Thom. was most harmonious.

Silent consultations over the pron.ol- tion fight marked the conservation among city hall officials continually yesterday. From morning till night aldermen and others were dropping Into the mayors office and at times there were as many as five aldermen at a time.
 This began early in the morning, and continued through the day, until six of them wound up the day with an earnest conversation at the Metropolitan hotel, not breaking up until Il o'clock. When seeh afterwards they admitted that they had come to no conclusion. and were not willing to prophecy what the board may do on the subject tonight. They seem to believe that they have waited too long to head off the fight. and it is doubtful if any more regulation ordi- nances will be passed.
 The intense interest on the subject is evident everywhere. Parties for and against are gathering, like birds of feath- CT. on street corners, in saloons and in churches.
 The prohibitlonists were strengthened yesterday to no little extent when the

Strikers Declare They Will Remain Out Pending Instructions From
 Indianapolis.

The local telegraph service, affecting both personal and business messages, re- mains more or less completely tied up by the strike of the Commercial Telegraph CTS, little change being noted in the.gen- eral situation. The only matter of inter est which came out yesterday was the report that the local management of the Postal Telegraph company had issued a circular letter offering to take the old men back on the same scale as that under which they quit work
 In discussing the circular, J. S. Coyle, a well known operator here, said:
 Notwithstanding claims of the tele- graph companies that the strike is over and that conditions were normal, circular letters were issued by the local manage ment of the Postal company yesterday to their former employees, stating that those who desired to re-enter the service under old conditions could do so up to p. m. Tuesday, August 20. The circular stated, however, that after that time those ap- plying for reinstatement would have to do so under new conditions and new rules, etc ''
 The strikers declared that the circular would be ignored and that none would return until ordered to do so by their general officers.
 A circular letter has also been received from General Secretary Treasurer Wesley Russell of the Photographers union, say Ing that there seems to be a doubt among certain Associated Press operators as to whether there is a strike against that association. Mir. Russell announces that a legal strike has been declared against the Associated Press and advises the striking A P. operators to remain out until the company has signed the sched- Ia.. lal A

Typhoid Siege Broken
 And Many Are Retp7ning

Along Eleventh avenue most of the pa tients are beyond the danger point, that critical point when more nervous than at any other. The city keeps policemen along the avenue and every precaution to keep down noise Is being taken.
 People are still speculating on the cause of typhoid fever In that neighborhood. From all appearances it seems to be the cleanest and most healthy part of the city, and is occupied by the best people. Typhoid. however. Is no respeoter of per sons. and sometimes seems to affect the cleanly even quicker than the dirty.
 There have been practically few deaths to the number of patients during the last three months. Less than ten have been called away by the awful hand, and 1t is hoped that all the remaining will re- cover.

If the physicians are making regular and exact reports to the health officer the typhoid fever epidemic is broken, and there are not apt to be many more cases reported. Instead of the patients being centralized, as during the first month, they have since been scattered over the whole city, so that at present there is no locality where the cases are especially thick.
 Probably seventy-fve people are now convalescent, and fast regaintng their health but, according to Health Officer Hardness there are less than fifty real cases in the city at present.
 It is said that within another two weeks the hundreds of families which left their homes will be safe in returning. Never before was the southsde so thoroughly emptied, and 1t was this fact which prob ably helped to suppress the epidemic
