PROMOTE GOUNTRYS
FOREIGN COMMERCE
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
Washington, d. c., Dec. Sat the
invitation of Secretary Straus, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
representatives of the chambers Of
commerce and boards of trade of
twenty of the leading cities of the
United States assembled in confer
ence mere today to discuss ways and
means for promoting the country's
foreign commerce. The meeting is
the first of a series of similar confer
ences planned by Secretary Straus
The chief purpose is to establish
closer relations between the CONNER
cial bodies of the country and the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor So
many cities are interested in the
movement for the extension of Amer
lean commerce abroad that it was
found impossible to accommodate del
egates from all at one conference.
Those invited to participate in the
present conference included the COM
mercial Organizations of Chicago,
Philadelphia, CincTnrsti, New York,
Atlanta, New Orleans, Boston, Mime
apolis, St Paul, Pittsburg, Galveston,
Richmond, Seattle, Milwaukee, Port
land, Oregon, and Charleston, S. c.
The idea of these conferences is to
crystalize the work of extending the
United States foreign commerce in
manufactures, and they will be held
during the winter for the effect their
action is expected to have on con-
gress. Although the work of extend
ing foreign commerce has been large
ly increased during the past few
years, especially since the organiza-
ton of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and of the Bureau of Man
ufactures, at the same time the Unit
ed States is far behind other coun-
tries in its study of commercial con-
ditions, and its efforts to push the
sale of its manufactured products.
Secretary Straus will tell the confer
ence of the results already achieved
by his department and will ask the
views of the commercial representa-
tives on the further development of
practical plans for rendering the de-
partment of greater service to the
commercial interests of the country.

first ball in the race for the republi-

will be set rolling tomorrow when the
national committee meets in this city
to select the time and place for hold

than a dozen cities are contesting for
the honor Of entertaining the dele
gates and the crowds Of shouters and
onloOkers. Delegations representing
these cities are already arriving in
Washington in readiness to present
their applications to the national COM
mittee. The majority of the party
leaders appear TO be Of the opinion
that either Chicago or Kansas CITY
will be selected as the convention
meeting place, with the latter city
standing a good chance of winning
the plum. St. Louis, Denver, Pitts
burg. Atlantic City and possibly one
or two other cities will also submit
bids. The members Of the national
who have arrived for the
meeting decline to commit themselves
in the matter. Following precedent.
a date early in June probably will be
selected for the big gathering.

teen railroads doing business in Tex
as have been ordered by the Texas
Railroad Commission to increase
their equipment within the next
three years by adding 42S engines,
26,60O freight cars and 173 passenger

for twenty-four other roads doing
business in this state, requiring a sim

probably be only FASTENED by the com

the Texas shipper will soon find his
facilities for getting his products to

THE MEEK MULE.
Its Humorous Side BY One Who Rub

As Bill, the desert evangelist, once
said, the mule is the only bird that
has a thing to kick with and wears its
wings on the side of it's head Bill

mules, or else he quit driving mules

edition of the jackrabbit. bound in
leather and complete in one volume
Both have the same characteristic
hind leg motion. but with the differ
ence that the rabbit thereby prOpels
himself, whereas the mule propels
others. The latter end of the mule is
hinged and has hair trigger and is
as prone to accidental discharge as a
powder mill is to fly upward. There

cause OF the omnipresence of the
army mule with its peculiar way of
making itself felt that the rear is the
Mace of danger
A most notable accessory OF the
beast is the strident and rancous vo-
cal attachment situated up front. No
means have yet been discovered by
which this mechanism can be lubri-
Gated, and the melody is a sort of

factory across the river. 1t is mostly
nocturnal in its manifestations It is
a curious fact that this apparatus is
controlled from the rear. for to I'M
cork the music the beast has merely
to extend its caudal appendage into
horizontal position. 1t is said by GER
tain rash individuals who lean toward
osteopathy that this vocal exercise
may be suspended by hanging a
monkey wrech to the safety valve.
But do not consider this a healthy
amusement and am inclined toward
the absent treatment
Although the latter end of the beast
is loosely hung and the former adds
insult to energy yet interesting as
are both these phenomena, the super
lative characteristic OF the creature is
its expression of countenance. That
long ascetic physiognomy bounded by
those hopeless ears and quivering lips
seems infinitely sad and yearning.

THE ELKS CHARITY
l COMMITTEE ARRANGING FOR THE CHRISTMAS DIFFERENCES.
D. P. o. F. Is Already at Work Arrsng- ing fer It's Annual Christmas Do-
 nation to the Poor and Needy.

Charity is one of the distinguishing marks of the Christmas season. and for the Christmas of 1907 the Mont gomery Lodge of Elks will continue their custom of giving practical, ma terial gifts to the poor and needy of the city This has been the custom of the Montgomery Eiks for a long time and this committee which has the matter in charge hopes that the num- Der of practical gifts will largely exceed that of last year. .
 Not only the Montgomery Lodge of Elks celebrate the Christmas season with gifts to the needy of the city, but lodges sf that organization throughout the country distribute good things to. the poor of their cities.
 The gifts so made are the voiunta- ry ones. There Is no subscription as- sessed upon the members of the various lodges, but the committee receives free will offerings.
 There are also no requests for out side assistance, but persons who are so disposed and wish to have their char ity distributed for them may contrib ute to the committe in charge.
 Names of all needy persons will be welcomed If telephoned to pr. Kill patrick. chairman of the charity com mittee, at number 637. or the names sent to the Home of the Elks on Bibb Street The church societies and other charitable organizations will do the Elks a favor If names are sent them.
 The charity will take the form of baskets filled with substantial food of various kinds. A few toys will also be included in the baskets if the num- Der and sex of the children of the house be left with the committee in charge of the work.
 Last year there were twenty odd large dray loads of good things so disposed of by the Elks. The donations received by the committee fin charge of the work last year amounted to $500 and this was received from a membership of 205 During the past year the membership list of the To- cal lodge has been very materially in creased and the committee hopes with this additional membership that the free will offering will be great enough to include a few Christmas toys for the children in, the homes visited by the committee.
 The final meeting of the charity com mittee will be held in the rooms of the Home on Bibb Street Sunday af- ternoon at 5 o'clock. at which time final arrangements for the buying and the distribution of the charity will be ynade Mf

 day.

Final preparations were made at the new jail yesterday preparatory to the Inspection of the Board of Revenue to- day. The contractors had every avail- able man at work making the place ship shape so that when the mem bers of the board come they will see the new building at its best. After today there will be some few matters to be attended to but they will require only 8 day or SO with the force that is now employed.
 Without . doubt the board will ac- cept the building and the inspection will only be . formal manner of doing it. Each member has kept up with the work as 1t has progressed and they are all thoroughly familiar with the place.
 The building will be accepted today but 1t is hardly probable that the pris- oners will be placed in the remodeled portion before Saturday and perhaps not until Monday. They are being we'll taken care of in the annex and 1t would be useless to move them until every detail has been looked after. At present the jail business Is very slack anyhow. During the past ten days there has been several agents through Montgomery who have taken several of the prisoners away. There are hardly forty people left in the jail now and when these are spread over the large building the Jailers will>have to sharp en their memories to remember just where they all are.

 enue Ceds.

That foreign corporations engaged fin the picture enlarEing business in Alabama are going to fight the cor- poration tax to the finish was evidenced yesterday when the test case filed some time ago was brought up In the City Court before Judge Thomas Judge Thomas sustained the decision of Judge Gaston of the Probate Court in hold ing the law good and the attorneys for the company immediately appealed it to the Supreme Court.
 This is a case of the State vs. Alfred Dozier. growing out of the arrest or Mir. Dozier few weeks ago on the charge of violating Nthe State law which provides that agents of outside corporations shall pay a State tax when doing business in Alabama. Pre- liminary hearing was held before Jus tfce B. c. Young and later carried 70 the Probate Court. Judge Gaston de- cided that State law had been vIo- lated and fined MT. Dozier $75. The case was appealed to the City Court and the defendant admitted to $200 bail. Judge Thomas of the City Court sustained the decision yesterday morn
 The Chicago crayon Company is named as a correspondent in the case as MT. Dozier was working for them at the time. During the trial is was brought out that agents for this com- pany came into the State and took orders for enlarging pictures for which . contract was signed. The photo graph is secured and sent to Chicago where the drawing is made. When it Is finished it is returned addressed the Chicago Crayon Company in Alabama It is received by the agent who deliv- CTS the picture and collects the money for it.
 At the last session of the Legislature a law was passed providing that all foreign corporations doing business in Alabama should pay license tax of $25 a year and it is through the failure of payment of this that the picture company's case has come up. Feeling that their business would not come under the Jurisdiction of this law the members of the company instigated the proceedings as test case. Discussion was heard on the picture business es- pecially when it came up in the Legis-
