ANTLRoosEvELT SCHEME.
No Names Mentioned, Says Secretary
 Loeb, of Opposing Clique.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary Loeb de- clared today that no names were men tioned at the White House yesterday when reference was made to some public men who had been present at d dinner and nc1 told the story of the alleged combina- ton to accomplish the defeat of the Pres idents policies in the coming presidential campaign. This dinner was a compara- lively recent occurrence. Secretary Loeb said today there was not any additional details of the affair to be given out, but he emphasized the belief which he ex- pressed yesterday that the publicity which had been made of the lntrigues against the interests of the President would nip the whole scheme in the bud" before the campaign of 1908 is fully on.
 It was stated at the White House to- day that knowledge of the "cabal' al- legged to have been formed to defeat tho policies of MT. Roosevelt came to the notice of the President some time be- fore the dinner at which the whole schema was laid bare. Persistent efforts were made to obtain the name of the per son who Is said to be responsible for giv- ing out the information of the intentions and resources of the combination, but Secretary Loeb declined to make this pub lie

MUST FIND HOMES
 FOR 2OOO GUESTS
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ONLY ABOUT 1000 SUNDAY SCHOOL DELEGATES HAVE so FAR BEEN PRocURED-AcTIo URGENT.

At a meeting of the members of the entertainment committee of the Jefferson County Sunday School association last night at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, it was decided that final and general appeal would be made to the citi- zens of Birmingham to come forward and assist in caring for the delegates to the State Sunday School convention, which meets here for three days beginning next Tuesday morning.
 The facts are these: The convention will be the biggest of it's kind ever held in the state; over 20OO representative citi- zens of the state will assemble here for the occasion and the Sunday school peo- pie of the city are pledged to entertain them for three days the committee so far has received promises of entertain- ment for just about half this number, and the rest must be provided for by next Monday, hence the necessity for prompt action.
 One of the committee members who att tended the Montgomery convention last year said last night that Montgomery pre- pared to entertain 800, and 1500 delegates arrived. This did not daunt the hosts, HOWeNeT, TOT ln6 nOlels anu clllZtnS IOSt to the occasion and all were provided with homes.
 It is up to Birmingham to do justice to the occasion now, and the entertainment committee asks that the whole city be- come interested in this convention and aid in uphoding the city's pride by providing entertainment for the guests who will throng into the Magic City next week.
 The committee only asks that these delegates be provided with lodging and breakfast for three days Lunches will be provided at the convention headquarters. All who can provide quarters for dele gates are requested to send their names to Samuel D. Monroe, chairman entertain ment committe, 20211a First avenue, or call him over Peoples phone TT, Bell phone 1034.
 The big choir under Professor Alsopp had a rehearsal last night, and will have rehearsals again Sunday afternoon and Monday night. White automobile caps and convention badges were given out to the choir and committee members, and the convention spirit was much stimu- lated.

BROWNSVILLE CASE POSTPONED.
Senate Committee May Inspect Town
 In the Fall.

Washington, April 5-The Senate committee on military affairs, which is making an investigation of the Brownsville affray, agreed today to take recess until May IA. It is not thought likely that the committee will go to Brownsville until fall, when a trip will be made merely for the pur- pose of giving the committee an op- portunity to look over the town and see for themselves the marks of bull lets in the various buildings. It is not intended to examine at any place ex- cept Washington. At today's session Senator Warner cross-examined Nal. Joseph P. O'Neil of the Thirtieth in- fantry and Lieut.. H. K. Lollie of the Twenty-fifth infantry. two of the off, cers who conducted tests at Fort Nc Intosh to see whether the race of men in uniform could be distinguished on clear nights. Nothing material was developed.

fees, $94,036; agricultural department $S7,- 679; telegraph, sleeping car and telephone companies, $11,31S; corporation franchise tax, ,955. The balance is made up of smaller items of income.
 The governor has paroled Frank Smith of Montgomery county sent up for ten years in December, 1901, for robbery. His parole is recommended by the pardon board
 Will Summers of Cullman county has been paroled. He was sent up for twenty years in 1899 for murder. The governor says: This homocide was unpremedi- tated, committed under great provoca- tion in the heat of passion. The party has been in prison since 1s99" The parole Is recommended by the board of pardons and the solicitor. Summers killed Mage Lee in Cullman county in 1887.
 Sanders White of Pike county has also been allowed his liberty by the governor. He was sent up for two years in 1905 for assault with intent to kill, and his pa- role Is recommended by the pardon board on condition that he pay the costs

R. H. DE HOLL IS APPOINTED
 FOR COMMISSIONER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE l.,

amend the revenue laws of the state of Alabama l beg to submit the follow ing:
 Section 20 is as follows: Any person, firm or corporation owning or operating any fertilizer factory shall pay an an- nual license of $200 for each factory, and each fertilizer mixing plant or factory, shall pay an annual license of $10.
 "A fertilizer factory or manufactOry, must be held to include any factory where the several ingredients of. the fer tilizer are combined in the commercial product factory Of this character man. ufactures one or more of the several in- gradients of the fertilizer. And mixing plant in my judgment, includes any plant where all the ingredients of the fertilizer are mixed and none of which are man. ufactured
 "The field of operation of the last clause of section 20 referring to mixing plants, therefore can only be limited In extent and should include only such plants as are engaged in the business of mixing all the ingredients of the fertilizer, and manufacturing none of such ingredients"
 Money Lending.
 State Auditor w. w. Brandon discussed the opinion of the attorney general in reference to the act requiring a license on money lending, especially the follow ing:
 ''To engage in the business of lending money in the meaning of this statute would therefore require something more than an occasional loan by an individual or such loans as are made by merchants or farmers as necessary incidents to the business in which they are principally en- gagged"
 From this" said Auditor Brandon, ''it would appear that the merchant or farmer who loans money in the conduct of his business will not be liable for the license tax or money lenders. This office has re- ceived many inquiries for construction of this law and as it would work hard ship upon the farmers in certain sections of the state to be disturbed over thls law if is hoped that the officers charged with the execution of the revenue laws will be governed by this opinion and not ap- ply to that class indicated who simply loan money as incidents to the business in which they are principally engaged"
 Receipts of State.
 The total receipts of the state, as shown bv the books of the state auditor. for the six months ending March Sl last, are S3.- 003 a38 50.

Is Without Authority.

Washington, April 5.-That the in- terstate commerce commission Is with out authority to prescribe rules and regulations for reciprocal demurrage between shippers and carriers of inter- state freight is the gist of an opinion rendered today by Commissioner Ozark The decision is based on the complaint of James B.
