project by which 500 colored girls
will be brought from the south. 1t is
said that places for all of these girls

The work of selecting the girls is to
be undertaken carefully and system

in the south, each with a council of
colored people and cooperative board
of whites. Good character, industry
and reputation for honesty will be the
requisites. 1t is proposed that the
wages offered to the girls shall run
from $4 to $40 a week. There are
many women, no doubt, who will be
willing to pay the maximum figure

The suggestion for importing colored

MOBILE CASE IS
 NOW BEING ARGUED
MOBILE OFFICERS WANT STATE AUDITOR TO PAY FEES FOR THE SALE OF PRoPERTY-A FINE POINT IS INVOLVED.

Montgomery, November 16-(Special.)- J. From speeches of counsel before him today Judge A. D. Sayre of the city court will determine whether or not Price Williams, Jr., probate judge, and other tax officers of Mobile county, can compel State Auditor Brandon to pay certain fees, amounting to $3,343 If, claimed to be due them as the balance on fees for the sale of real estate, which reverted to the state for delinquent taxes.
 The petition by the state officers for a writ of mandamus to compel the pay ment of the fees was filed in the city court of Montgomery last July, and IS just now coming on for argument. Be- tween 1880 and 1893, the petitioners al 1ege. real estate on $256u assessments re- verted to the state. and on October 9, 1905, the real estate was sold to the State Land company for $SSo6.
 From this sale the tax officers claim they were due fees aggregating SoS43.74, of which s25O0 has been paid over by the auditor, but the remainder he de- clnes to remit. being guided by advice from the attorney general.
 The principal point involved, it ap- pears. Is whether or not the officers could secure more in fees than the state realized from the sale. While the amount realized by the state appears on it's face to be $S306, counsel for the state claims that the state realized only s5000, as s3306 went back to property owners on redeemed assessments

 Just what the financial embarrassment Of Gary Kennedy & Co.,, who were thrown into bankruptcy during the past week, will result in is not known. There has not yet been any schedule of liabilities or assets and the amount that will De reached has all been guess work. Infor- nation, however, is to the effect that the figures will go over S2O0,0O0. and perhaps reach $300,00O. The only figures thus far known have been estimated from the arnout of bond required, which was Sl40,- 600; the assets were, therefore, placed at not over s7000O. The liabilities were not thought to be in excess of $125, 5,0D. The reports today seem to indicate that these figures have been too low. The firm owes considerable borrowed money, many sums of from 5000 to $10,000 having been cor

VICTIM OF MANS FOLLY

Washington, November 16.-(Special.)- q shall go on the witness stand said Mrs. Annie Bradley today, "and tell the simple truth. It will be hard, yes. What woman cares to expose her heart to the world? But it will also be an expiation for me. Something that I owe to my relief and to my children, and if I can but make the jurors see my case as l see it. I shall be content" Mrs Bradley was immersed in Mrs. Browning's sonnets from the Portuguese when her visitor reached the prison. These and her sewing are her chief di- versions during the long days in the District Jail. Her mother was by her side and "Cooey' and Arthur Brown, Jr.. were playing about the jail corri- dor.
 From now on until the time comes for her to take the witness stand and lay bare the revolting story of her wrongs at the hands of former Senator Brown. every effort will be made to conserve the strength of the prisoner for that ordeal.
 Under the influence of the brilliant sun of today and the blue skies and the soft breezes that swept across the Potomac. Mrs. Brad1ey's spirits were brighter than they have been at any time since the beginning of her trial
 She is taking more hopeful view of the outlook.
 She has heard the worst of the case against her and she looked into the faces of her judges as her counsel outlined the nature of the evidence that would be presented in her favor and she has heard from her counsel words of hope and cheer.
