AL MOORE IS
MAKING GOOD

AL. Moore, the Honolulu umpire, made
his bow to the fans and made good.
He is a little fellow, built very much
on the lines of Perrine, full OF ginger
and gets around the field in a snappy
way that suits the fans. He renders
decisions promptly and apparently has
a good eve for balls and strikes and
close plays on the bases.-Can, Au-
gust 80.
AL. Moore, the Honolulu indicator
man. showed his scrapping spirit in the
sixth round when he went after Bas~
sew. who cursed and swore at him Iof
being called out on strikes. Moore I'M
mediatelv threw off his mask and walk
ed nm to Bassey, ordering him to the
clubhouse and walking right alongside
of him to see that he did not try amp
more rowdy tactics. The player did as
he was bid.-Call, August 81.

proposed bill to prohibit the operation of freight trains on Sundays and rep resentatives of some of the larger coal and iron companies have been to Montgomery, the capital city, and have written many letters to the represen- tatives and senators in the Legisla- ture protesting against the adoption of the bill to stop freight trains on Sun- day.
 It Is asserted that the prohibition Of freight trains on Sundays would in- jure the industrial section of the State considerably. It is rule with the railroads to allow all freight not per ishable or exactly fast freight, to ac- cumulate during the week until Sun day when it Is moved off the divisions in this section. All engines used on the mineral branches are brought to the main line and used in moving this accumulated freight.
 From Saturday nights until Monday mornings large amount of business IS transacted by the cailroad lines hand ling the traffic of the coal and iron producers. To cut of the Sunday freight trains would interfere consid- erably with the transportation, facili- ties and would cut off a large propor- tion of the earnings of the engineers. firemen, conductors. trainmen and op- orators. The church element is Just as active to have the proposed bill adopt cd as are the industrial magnates against 1t.

MIR. WAUCHOPE DEAD HIGHLY ESTEEMED SELMA CITIZEN
 PASSES AWAY. oetogenarlun Was Horn In Virginia But Had spent Most Of His Life
 In Florida And Ala banla.
Selma Bureau.

Feb. 10. 1907.
 .E. Wauchope died this morning at 6 o'clock at the home of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Claude c. Grayson. He was eighty six years old and highly es- teemed by all who knew him.
 MT. Wauchope was born in Virginia and had lived in Florida as well as Alabama. He had made his home of late years with his daughter in this city.
 He was taken i'll a week ago and had been confined to his bed since. He had started down town about a week ago when he was seized with a vertigo spell necessirating his being carried back to the house. Though he was considered quite i'll his friends and loved ones had no idea the end was so near and his death came with out warning this morning.
 Five sons and daughters survive him all of whom are grown. His children are Mrs Susan Stokes, of Tampa, Fla. Mrs. Joe Michler and Miss Jessie Wau- chope, of Tampa, Fla; Mrs. C. C.. Grayson of this city, and MT. J. A. Wauchope, also of Selma. Besides there are a number of grand children both in Selma and Tampa

whi.l<ey Men Wrought Up.

The whIskey men of Selma are wrought up to no small degree over the inimicable attitude demonstrated toward them by the Legislature. When the campaign was on between MT. Co., mer and Dr. Cunningham the former pointed out by the whiskey element as reasons why he should not receive their support.
 Also the friendliness of certain per sons of influence close to MT. Conner was mentioned as reasons why the coz ton mill manufacturer should receive the undivided support of the whiskey men. Out of sixteen saloons and eight wholesale whiskey houses in Selma 1t is likely but two men supported Dr. Cunningham in the contest for Gov ernor. These two are now crying T told you so" to their fellow business men and asking them to recall that it is a good rule to remember that a man or faction which is "one ideaed" or mar row in one matter can always be de- pended upon to be equally SO in prac- tically all others.
 The passage of .he so-called local option bill by the House and the Moody dispensary bill by the Senate followed by the passage of the bill Saturday attempting to prohibit the sending of whiskey into prohibition counties mas stirJed the whiskey ele- ment up the the last extreme and they are prepared for anything that the rad teal Legislature may do.
 A whiskey man who does a large mall order business said today anSnt the Sherrod bill passed by the House Saturday: We do some Zen or twelve thousand dollars worth of business in orders received by mail and shipped by express. If the bill becomes q law 1t will mean d great loss to us or it will mean the shipping of whiskey into prohibition counties labeled groceries hardware. molasSas. etc 1t will be a sort of Jim Dandy subterfuge which has been tried and seemingly not con demned by the people,

Coal and Coke.

State Mine Inspector J M. Gray will this week complete the figures on his annual report for 1906. There is no doubt now but that the report will show a decrease as compared to the output in 1905 The railroad car shortage during the last four months of the past year is now making showing.
 There is a demand for every ton of coal that can be mined in the district The railroad car shortage is felt by the larger consumers of coal. An H. lustration Of the coal shortage was given recently right In Birmingham when the Birmingham Railway.

AT BIBLE CLASS BANQUET
Rockefeller, Jr., Refers to Hughes
Presidential Boom.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE presiden-
tial boom of Governor Charles e.
Hughes was again launched In New
York city, this time at the annual
dinner Of the Bible class presided over
by John d. Rockefeller, Jr. In his
address at the dinner Mr.. Rockefeller
called attention to the fact that Gov
ernor Hughes was once a member of
the class and referred to him as a
possible occupant of the White House.
This brought forth great applause
from the members of the class. The
principal speaker at the dinner was
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National City bank, who spoke on
the recent financial furry. The din
ner was more elaborate than the one
held last year, each member of the
class paying $50 for his meal, where
as last year the price was only 81.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Gull

inquiry by the senate committee on
finance into the recent issue of bonds
by the government was considered by
the senate and was sent to the finance
committee upon statement by Mr..
Aldrich that that committee would
meet In few days and report reso-
luton covering the entire subject.
Senator Clay's resolution calling for
information concerning the deposit of
money in national banks also was laid
before the senate. Mr.. Clay said that
up to the present time s250,000, 900
had been deposited by the govern
ment In national banks and most of
It had been on deposit during the
present year.
II do not believe" he said, that
we can justify the placing of such
money In banks and then calling for
more money by the issue of bonds.
That system should be investigated
and condemned"
Mr.. Clay then agreed to have his
resolution go to the committee on

him by the emperor during the siege,
and on his breast was pinned the cross

showed that many of them had seen
hard service during the war.
The other accused officers. Generals
Fock, Reiss and Smirnoff, came to the
court clad In their uniforms. Gen.
eral Smirnoff. who is bitter enemy
of General Stoessel, ostentatiously
seated himself as far away as possible
from the central figure of the proceed
ings.
The court was convoked at noon by
Vice Admiral Doubassoff. He de-
clared 1t to be the duty of the court
TO proceed with the trial of the four
officers charged with the responsibility
of surrendering the fortress on terms
dishonorable to the garrison and hui
initiating to the prestige of Russia.
He then called the roll of 200 wit
nesses, including General Kuropatkin
and Vice Admiral Wiren. Several OF
the witnesses were absent, but the
court decided to proceed with the
trial.
voiuminous Indictment Read.
The entire afternoon was taken up
with the reading Of the voluminous
and detailed indictment. The recital
brought the spirit OF strife and war
into the courtroom and the men who
had defended the fortress against the
onslaught of the Japanese listened
with rapt attention to the story Of
their work. From time to time. when
particular events were referred to, q
nervous murmur ran through the hall.
Many Of the witnesses still suffer from
the effects OF the siege and 1t was
clear that they were controlling them
selves with difficulty.
One Of the incidents showed the
attitude OF the court to be unfavor-
able to Stoessel. His personal re-
quest that two additional witnesses be
called In was dismissed without cere-
mony.
A correspondent Of the Associated
Press spoke with witnesses OF all
ranks. From these conversations It
was clear that the trial was making a
most painful impression upon them.
They declared 1t to be an insult to
General Htoessel and to his army
