Birmingham, June 5.-(SpeciaD-- President Robert Jemison, of the Birm- ingham Railway Light and Power Company, was called on by Andy Marx president of the Alabama Federation of Labor; w. Jere Williams, who was selected secretary of the committee named at the labor mass meeting last week at the Majestic Theater; and Kinds Peevey, attorney. and asked for a conference at which inquiry was made as to how the former employees of the street railway company could return to work.
 President Jemison, of the street rail- way company, when called upon after wards said that he would make no statement and referred reporters to the men who had come to him in the interest of the former employees.
 Ben Commons, national organizer ot the American Federation of Labor, who is in charge of the locked-out railway employees. announced, at noon, that the committees which had called on suits.

WOULD DIVIDE
 COTTON SEED Agreement by Mill Men
 at Weturrlpka. SOCIAL SESSIONS OF PLAT0S Market Price Would Be Discussed at Such Time. Members of order Assert, However, That It is FraternaI in Purpose
 -Conemittee to work To-
 day on New Law.
SOCIAL SESSIONS OF PLAT0s

With live witnesses on the stand du- ring its fnQuisitorial session yesterday, the Fertilizer and Cotton Seed oil Mill Investigating Committee obtained evil dence that was in a measure corrobo- rative of evidence previously gotten but not start1ingly new from a public standpoint.
 The feature of the testimony was the fact that the cotton seed oil mill men of Montgomery had at least a quasi agreement to divide the cotton seed in the Wetumpka market, and that the secret sessions of the Plates were fol- lowed by social sessions in which they discussed market conditions and each told the other Sons what prices he ex pected to pay for raw seed.
 J. W. Black, chief officer of the Sons of Plato. w. P. DeJarnette. E. W. Stay and A. St. c. Tennille of Montgomery and c. C.. McCord Secre- tary of the Autauga Fertilizer and oil Company of Prattville were the wit nesses examined yesterday.
 The Committee today will begin the preparation of the bill which Is to be submitted to the Legislature to pre- vent alleged evils in the fertilizer and cotton seed oil business.
 Assistant Attorney General Thomas W. Martin was chief examiner of wit nesses yesterday though Chairman Lefth and members of the Committee took part in the fnquisition.
 Mir. Black was the first witness on the stand. He denied that the Plates fixed prices on cotton seed or tried to do so. The organization was a benev- olent one and Chairman Leith pressed him closely to know what benevolent work 1t accomplished but without avail. Mir. Black said that he would not show the Constitution and bylaws of the society to any one not a mem Der of it. .
 His testimony was corroborated by the other mill men of Montgomery but MT. St. c. Tennille said that after each of the several meetings held du- ring the season there had been discus sions of market conditions and that during these discussions the members had advised one another and the prices they expected to pay. He denied. how ever. that there had been an agreement to pay fixed price. The only agree ment had been as to the amount of seed each member was to receive from the Wetumpka market. The object of the Sons of Plato, as of other fraternal or ders, he said, was secret
 Chairman Leith said last night that with the evidence and information al- ready gained, the Committed would to- day begin the preparation Of the. bill which the Committee was purposed to make ready and subhalt to the Legis- lature at its July convention. Wit- nesses who had been cited to appear later, however. the Committee. he stat ed. would duly examine.
 The Committee held no afternoon ses- sion. adjourning for the day at 2 o'clock.

ENDS LIFE BY ] POISON ROUTE Traveller Takes Overdose ]. of Morphine. NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR DEED Death Comes to A. H. Marston in
 His Room at Hotel. Discovered Unconscious at 10 O'clock Yes terday Morning. and Physicians
 Battle for His Life for
 Three Hours Without
NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR DEED

A. H. Marston. commercial traveller of chattanooga. committed suicide in his room at the Hotel Windsor yesterday morning by taking an overdose of morphine.
 MT. Marston had been in the city since last Friday and had been drinking heavily since his arrival here He was confined to his room for the past two days, and about 10 o'clock yesterday morning MT. Mabson. proprietor of the Windsor, went up to his room to see him. He found Marston in an phine. not quite empty. was on table near the bed.
 MT Mabson Summoned a physician imme- diatcly and everything possible was done to save the unfortunate mans life. but the deadly drug had gotten to strong a hold on it's victim and he died at 1:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 The Bottle of morphine found on the ta- : ble was examined and weighed. and it was ascertained that fifteen grains had been taken from 1t. It is thought this Is the amount that MT Marston swallowed. How ever. as to the exact amount he took, il was impossible to tell for no one knew how ions he had been in possession or the bot tie. and whether or not, he took 1t all yes- terday in one dose.
 No cause can be assigned for the sui eide. he did not seem to be in a melan- choiy mood when last seen by Mir Mabson, and the attaches of the hotel. He left nc note and thorough search of the rom and his effects revealed nothing that could throw a light on the deed.
 Mfr Marston represented Lumas and Hart. fusniture manufacturers of Chattanooga and they were notified of Mir. Marston's death soon after 1t took place. They wired instructions that the body be embalmed and placed in a handsome casket, and shipped to Chattanooga. The body was shipped to his Tennessee home yesterday afternoon
 It Is understood that Mir. Marston was well connected in Tennessee and leaves a wife and several children. He was about fifty five years of age and was very popu- lar with the commercial travellers in the South

ssWanted, Wife at Montgomery
 Theatre, Benefit of New Hospital.
 Before an audience of fashionable friends, whose critical ability. however if was in no wise necessary to tenn ner with the spirit of amicable toler- ance. the Dramatic Society of the Standard Club presented the sprightly comedy 'Wanted, Wife, at the Moiftgomery Theatre for the benefit of the new City Hospital Criticized as a theatrical performance, without senti- ment as to personality the Presenta- ton was extremely creditable ;adJu6g- ed AS asperformance a by amateurs 1t was remarkable proof of the almost to- tally hidden talents that need only ex- nloitation to make them resplendent as hIstrionic genius.
 From the first entrance upon the stage until the last curtain, the audi ence. forgetting its acquaintanceship with the physical dramatis personae. looked upon the actors as actors, not as friends and their consequent opin- ions as to the merits of each were complimentary to degree that would delight the veteran that stands upon the far side of the footlights.
 "Wanted a Wife" had been present. ed before the Standard Club by the Dramatic Society several weeks before. and those who had not seen it were prepared to treat with amicable toll erance what they expected to be a me- diocre but comparatively meritorious performance by friends whose talents were meritorious only when measured by their own, but the very initiation of the first act convinced them that they were to see acting that could be compared, and with no small advant- age to the amateurs, to the work of professionals.

 Washington. June 5--Chief Statisti- clan. Victor HI. Olmstend. of the De- partment of Agriculture, was again the principal witness at the forenoon session of the criminal branch of the district court today, in the trial of Ed win s. Holmes.

 Olmstead related conversations held with Holmes in 1904 in which the lat ter spoke of his interest in gold mines in Idaho, and of his intention to erect an apartment house in Washington. In response to a question by Holmes at- torney, the witness said that a leak in the crop report would be impossible if its preparation was honestly conduct ed.
 Stephen D. Fessenden. who was at one time an assistant statistician of the department. also went into the methods of gathering data for the crop re- port as that work was conducted when he was in office
