PREFERENCE FOR LABoRERs.
T. v. Powderly Receiving Many Let
ters in Regard to Immigrants.

The preferences of people of the north
west for laborers of different nationalities
are plainly shown In the reports that are
coming to Mr.. T. v. Powderly. who Is
looking after the work Of locating immi-
grants, conducted under the immigration
division of the Department of Commerce
and Labor Mr.. Powderly Is receiving
many letters from the people Of the north
west. and the universal demand is for
Germans. Scandinavians and Hollanders for
work on the farms. The farmers of the
northwest show their preferences for these
nationalities in a very decided manner, and
1t is doubtful whether the special requests
for labor in that section could be filled II
all the immigRnts Of those nationalities
were directed there. without regard to the
wishes of people in other sections. But
from states In the middle west. the east
Pacific coast and even the south there are
large requests for immigrants to be d.
rected there. The call is for thrifty and
industrious men to work on the farms, and
living better than the immigrants have
had in their own countries is promised to
all who can fulfill the desired conditions.

of the naval stations were found to be in
satisfactory condition. Admiral Cowles
looked especially into the supply Of coal
for the big ships when they reach the coast
with empty bunkers while Admiral Caps
was principally interested In arranging for
the systematic docking of the vessels md
the making of such repairs would nat
urally be necessary after a cruise of nearly
1900 miles.
Admiral Cowles. commenting upon the

THE "GAINEs IDEA"
Rooms Of New Building to Be Located
According to States.

Representative John Wesley Gaines Of
Tennessee. who came to town yesterday
has an idea. Moreover, the idea Is being
received with acclaim and MT. Gaines is
finding himself in the majority.
Mr.. Gaines idea Is that when the $3.50
members of the House are assigned to their
several rooms In the new House ONCE
building they shall be located according to
state delegations: that is. all the representa-
tives from one state shall have adjacent or
contiguous rooms, 10 as to facilitate COM
munication between them. Mr.. Gaines COM
municated his suggestion to Mr.. Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the Capitol. who
thought it a good plan and said he would
take 1t under consideration.
"Fine!' said the newspaper correspond
ents when told about It. To the men who
have to visit the state delegations this pro-
posed assembling Of the representatives
would mean q great saving in time and eff
fort. The representatives themselves will
be supposed to find the plan convenient. as
they frequently have to confer with each
other and the office building will cover 50
much space that 1t would be task to visit
the rooms II widely separated.
The Gaines idea" Is expected to find gen.
eral favor.

LAW BARS COMMUNION WINE.
Georgia Grand Juries Ask Legislature
to Amend Prohibition Act.

ATLANTA. September 5-Under a strict
construction Of the Georgia prohibition law
which goes into effect January 1. 1908, it is
held that 1t will be unlawful to administer
wine at communion.
This feature of the law is causing pro-
tests. and grand juries throughout the state
have adopted the following:
After January /. 1908 every minister
who hands sacramento wine to his men,
bers will subject himself to as many indict-
ments as there are members.
Every deacon who hands the sacrament
tai wine to the members OF the church will
subject himself to as many indictments as
there are members.
I'VE petition the general assembly of
Georgia to make such amendments to the
law as will allow the Christian people of
this state to worship God according to the
dictates Of their~own conscience without
violating the laws of the state"
