The ioSal government land ofice has received notice of an order issued by President Roosevelt February 12 sup plcmenting and modifying an order of January 25. the latter of which direst- ed that no final certificates for home- steads be issued until an actual exam ination has been on the ground by an authorized officer of the government.
 According to the first order the ob- feet was the prevention of fraud. but President Roosevelt, in his seconc mandate, says there is some unct rtain- ty concerning the meaning of the pre- vious order relating to the uAncc of evidence of title under the pAolfc land laws, and, he therefore rcissued the order In more specific form. Copies of the order which Is directed to the Secretary of the Interior. were re- ceived yesterday by General R. D. Johnston, register In the local land of- flee.
 The chief change in the order Is ths statement that 1t does not aRoct or modify the following:

Final certificates and receipts in final l f\e-year homestead proofs heretofore or hereafter made when the proof 10 satisfactory and complete.

 to Alabama-s Detrsment.

House Bill No. iS5 Is causing con-
 siderable trouble md vexation of spir-
 1t in the Senate these days This Is
 the measure fathered by Repre- senta-
 tive Charles M. Sherrod. of Lawrence
 County. which prohibits the shipment HDf any kind of intoxicating liquors
 from a "dry" dist ttict within, the State
 to .swet" district It peeciDi.ateI a
 warm discussion when it came up in
 the House for final passage. but went
 trough by liberal vote.
 A delegation from Mobile was in
 Montgomery yesterday, headed by
 President John Craft of the Go nmerclai Hub there. to oppose the bill The ,ther representatives of M bile were .. Bearman, wholesale liquor dealer. and Ralph Richards. All three made taten1ents to the Senate Committee On temperance. before whom they appear cd. as to the effects of the measure. They took the position that under he interstate commerce law, as inter- 'reted by the United States Supreme 'ourt at Washington, 1t was impos- lble for any restriction whatever to
 e placed upon the shipment of liquors rom outside the State to dry" dis ricts in Alabama, and therefore, In It's 'ractical operations. the biil under consideration would be a discrimina- ton asainst Alabama brewers and wholesale liquor dealers
 MT. Craft. who made the principal
 argument, assented he was in no way interested, directly or indirectly, In the iquor bur'ness, but that he did not ike to see any measure enacted that would place the Alabama business men n any line at a disadvantage In com
 'arison with those from other states. With srch a law as the Sherrod bill

Louisiana, or Tennessee cities m the one side, and Georgia or Flor da cities on the otrer. to the detri- nent of Alabama citizens. It was not question. they urged of prohibiting he importation of such shipments of iauors. but merely decreeing that out ide dealers. rather than those in Ala hama, should receive the benefit of the 'rade.
 Representative Sherrod appeared be- ore the committee and made brief statement of the 'tootleggine conditions nd the jug evil which it was sought o correct by the measure. urging the ,ecassity that exists for the pass ige by he Legislature of some such law ta 'uforce local proh'bi'icn laws

one of LiyerpooFs richest shipowners
and many times a millionaire. The

a favorite 'shOw place" in the vicinity
of Liverpool. Mr.. Westinghouse is the
only son of the noted inventor, whose
fortune is estimated by some as hi Ii
as $4,000, 600, and the young man will
Ia the natural course of events succeed
some day to the supervision of his fl
theirs vast business and the enjoyment
of his splendid fortune. But when
young Westinghouse finished his scen

apprentice to learn from the bottom
up the industry of making electricai

was about this time he got his first

she saw him while making tour Of

to him In spite of his workingman'S at

been spoiled by the denial of the fam
