ears is unwdse and should be changed; |; nevertheless, the bill reduces the rate for the misrepresentation of excess bag gage now in effect so that the proposed rate. for distances varying from five to 420 miles Is but from s5 per cent (21 miles. present-rate, IS cents. proposed rate s 1-4 cents), to 55 per cent t42o miles, present rate s1.so, proposed rate s1.o5) of the existing rate; or. to put 1t in another form. the average reduc- ton up to lao miles, on all of the rates, is moro than A per cent.
 It must be concealed that transpor- tation in baggage cars by passenger trains Is worth more than the transpor- chants of same class of property, by freight trains.
 I respectfully suggest that the bill be amended requiring the railways to charge for excess merchandise baggage .one and one-half times the rate fixed eby statute for the transportation of freight described as first-ciass, L C.. merchandise.
 Respectfully submitted.

Status of Judge Jones Not
 Affected by Clayton Measure.

Judge Jones, when approached on the subject after the adjournment of court yesterday afternoon said he did not reel at liberty to discSss the question.
 You may say for me, however. l have been both amused IGnd surprised at some of the rumors which have gained currency about my relations to this bill. have said before, and would like to emphasize again that have never had letter from Mir Clayton or a conversation with him in which he intimated in any way that he was, or would be a candidate for appointment. and there certainly never was any agreement between him and myself that l would move to Birmingham In order to make a vacancy for him here. 'T would esteem 1t indelicate and im- proper in me to make any effort to Influence the Presidents choice as to theS new judge, and that neither di- rectly or indirectly have I done. Not line has even passed between us on who were candidates letters of introduce ton in which stated I was not parti- san of any of the excellent aspirants.or intending to take any part between them I would give any other reputable mem ber of the bar who desired 1t the same kind of a letter of introduction"
 Continuing, Judge Jones said: NO, there is not the slightest truth in the report that I sought to hinder or delay agreed on the bill introduced by Mfr. Clayton. The telegraphic correspon- dence to which you refer was with members of our delegation, asking that the bill be amended so as to remove the uncertainty about what 1t meant, and to make provision allowing me to dispose of current submitted cases at the time the new judge may be ap- pointed.
 So far as he was personally concern ed judge said "he would be very glad to have only one district"

Members of the bar in the Middle Dis trict of Alabama, since the ahhouhGHr- ;Sr ment of the passage of the CiayLoh DIT, , nave been felicitating themselves they would have Judge Jones exclusively to themselves in the future. On examl- nation of the bill, lawyers sensralIy have come to the conclusion thar Judge Jones Is not relieved of duty in the Northern District. They think the only result accomplished under the Dill mas been to put two judges In the Northern District. .n question said yesterday:
 When Judge Toulmin was appointed district judge of the Southern Judicial District, Judge Bruce was judge or each of the three districts in Alabama. Con- Sresss when 1t created a judge for the Southern District provided in the second section of that act that the Ju- risdlction of the present judge Tor the several districts of Alabama and his Successors. shall hereafter be confined to the Northern and Middle Districts of said State.' This is the law under which Judge Jones holds courts in the Northern and Middle Districts. ,.. and provides that the President shall appoint a district judge for the North ern Judicial District of Alabama, who shall possess and exercise all .ne p.~ poW~- CTS, and perform the same duties with in said Northern Judicial District or Alabama as are now possessed and per formed by a district judge of the Unit ed States in any judicial district es- for the salary and that the judge after his appointment shall reside at Birm-
 BiIE Does Not Repeal.
 Continuing, this gentleman said: The bill does not say a word about the exs isting law, and contains no words or repeal. A district can have as many judges as Congress will give it. A is no inconsistency between the act just passed and the former law which provided a judge for the Northern Dfs- trict. There is no conflict between them. The rule is universal where two laws are enacted on the same subject matter with no words of repeal in the later law, that the former act Is re- pealed only to the extent of irrecon: cilabie conflict with the latter. and both acts on the subject must be taken and construed together, so that If pos- sible some field of operation can De "The only way operation can be all lowed to both these acts Is that the first law providing Judge for the Northern District Is not repealed, but that another judge is put In there, both Judges having the same power and duty The only way to gather what an act means Is by what tt says. When the language Is clear, it's purpose can not be determined in any other way. I relieve 1t Is the opinion of every law yer I have heard of, who has exam ined the question, that the Clayton bill onlv puts another judge in the North ern District to help Judge Jones. While Judge Jones ignored his own interest in advocating another judge for both districts, yet he acduiesced thorough l iy in the Clayton bill after 1t was pass l cd and know he urged it's approval !. | If the bill had effected what was pro- | posed, he would have been relieved of q great burden and no fnconSiderablo | axnensA-"

No one on this green earth can eat lard-soaked food day after day and not feel its ill effects eventually. You may have one of those iron-clad stomachs which will prove unsusceptible for time, but the hogfat and its accompanying indigestibility will do its work sooner pr later. It is an absolute fact that lard simply hog-fat is indigestible, and that it is not fit for the human stomach.
