OPPONENTS LACKING
RIVALS DISPUTE MAYOR TEAGUEps CANDIDACY.
indications reant To Clear Field For City Exeeufive--AspiraBts For Aldermanie Henors Appar-
 eutiy Are Bashfur.

Mayor Teaguc Is still withou, op-- position for reelection as Mayor or Montgomery.
 "Is Mr. Teague going to have oppo- sition7" is a question that has been put hundreds of times by interested per sons. but no one has yet able to an swer the duixs. Not even some of the best informed politicians In Montgom- cry have offered to commit themselves on this phase of municipai politics, but many are not backward in saytlng they believe Mir. Teague will be without an opponent.
 In the aldermanic. field it is believed Gaston Gunter, of Ward 1. will again make the race. but as to his associate. Alderman Coins. nothing has yet been said. James Parrish, a well known young man. 1t Is understood, will be a candidate.
 Tn ward 2, 1t Is predicted Alder men ]. C. Tyson and Ruth will have no opposition for re-election.
 There is molly one announced canai- date in Ward 3. He Is Berto H. John- son. It Is understood, however. that !. R. Graves Ivey will De candi. date from this Ward. MT. Ivey is be- ing urged to run by number of the best citizens of the Ward. He served two years as private secretary to the late Mayor E.. B. Joseph, during which time he acted as Clerk or the City Council. So far as is known, Alder man Lobman and Foster from this Ward, are still determined not to ask for reelection.
 Tn Ward {, 1t is understood Alder man A. l.. Tyson will seek reelection. Alderman Roemer has announced he will not run again. W. W. Seidie, a well known railroad conductor. Is the only officially announced candidate from this Ward.
 Tn Ward ;, so the gossip goes, there will be several new aspirants for aI- dermanic honors. but thus Tar only the name of William J. Conniff can be ac- curateiy relied on. Alderman Taft, will, in all probability, ask for re- election but Alderman Griffith. having removed from Ward 5, will not be a candidate
 Only the names of the present mem bers of the City Council, Aldermen Sul- liyan and Ryan, have thus far been mentioned in Ward 6.
 Dr.. S. H. Saul 1t is said, will seek an aldermanship from Ward !, but nei- ther Of the present Aldermen. Hciio- way and Jones, have yet announced themselves for reelection.
 racticaily no names have yet been mentioned for Aldermen at-Large. The present Council members -at-large are Aldermen Strauss, Cox and Hud- son. @
 The supposition is that. following the Central Council meeting ;ast night, there will be numerous candidates in the field in very few days.

Youths COmpaniOn's Portraits or
 Washington.

The washington's Birthday Num- Der of The Youths Companion repro duces eight different portraits or George Washington out of the list or more than eight hundred which are in existence. Besides the familiar drawing from Houdon's bust and the portrait by Gilbert Stuart, The Com nanien presents six which are not so well known. One of these. from painting by Charles w. Peale. is the earliest known representation of Wash ington's features. He was at the time about forty yeyars old. A still more interesting portrait is the reproduc- tion of the drawing made by Fevret do Saint Memin. young French az tfst in 179S-the last portrait from life that we have. Saint Memin in pro- ducing it used an instrument that he called a physionotrace. It enabled him to trace on paper an exact re-
 produetion of the outlines of the face.
 He afterward filled in the details with crayons This portrait shows how the first President looked the year before his death.

leaders, but tt Is subject to change that may be demanded by the exiRencies of legisIation. The two weeks form a long and discouraging prospect for the tired legislators.
 Several of the committees. for one reason or another. failed to secure a quorum, and the lsssitude of other members at the committee meetings was too pronounced to go unnoticed. The bills were quickly considered, and few speeches were made. Among other things that the law-makers are tired of Is speeches. So the committees yes terday spent no more time considering the bills than was absolutely neces- sary.
 Committee Clears slate.
 The Judiciary Committee of the House, as an instance, cleared its com mittee docket of thirty-two bills. It passed upon every bill on the calendar of the committee. As a general thing. the bills were not important. and quite a number of them were duplicate House and Senate bills. But when the committee finished its meeting. the slate had been, wiped clean. The com mittee will have no more work to do until the House commits. other ques- tions to it's care. 4.
 A feature of the general day of conl-
 
 large delegations of visitors which have marked the other committee days. The committees had but few visitors. Their deliberations were conducted among themselves, without imported oratory.
 The Senate Committee on Agriculture, of which Senator Horton is chairman. took up for consideration the bill CT Representative Steagan. which seeks to regulate the sale of cotton seed meal. The bill establishes standard of merit and fineness tc which cottonseed meal sold in Alabama must comply. The committee took no action on the bill yesterday, beyond referring it to sub committee which will pass upon it
 The House bill. to compel companies which sell oil in Alabama to maintain a depot in every county in which they do business was adversed by the Sen ate Committee on Judiciary. The bill in it's passage through the House was subjected to considerable opposition. The charge was made against 1t there that the bill, however laudabie the in-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-02-20

tentions of it's friends might be, would have the effect of helping the Standard oil Company establish monopoly in the state. Some of the members, of the committed took the same view of it's possible effects.
 Judges to Get stationery. The committee. of which Senator Lusk is chairman, reported favorably the bill which provides that the county shall furnish the offices of Probate Judge with stationery. The money for the stationery must be set aside by the Board of Revenue, and minute of 1t made on the boohs.
 The Senate Committee on Education. of which Senator Reynolds is chairman. gave favorable report to the bill Of Senator Blackmon, changing the pres- ent system of taking the school census. The common school funds are appor- tioned out According to school cen- sus, which has heretofore been In the hands of the district trustees. The trustees knew the larger the number of children reported the larger would be the districts share of the school funds. It has been charged that the school census in some counties Of the State has been padded. The Biackmon bill puts the taking of the school cen- sus in the hands of the County Board of Education, but provides that the board may hire d. man to do the Work.
 The committee also favored. the ofu introduced by Senator Reese, amending the charter of certain educational ir- stituttons' in the State. The bill pro- yides that these institutions, which are not state institutions, may mortgage their building sto secure funds.
 The Municipal Organizations Son ;,jttre of the House held a session yes terday. and disposed of numper ol measures that were before 1t. most oi them being of a local character.
 To Take New Census.
 The committee agreed to report iaV- orably upon the bill to authorize clues of the state to take an official census, not oftener than once in two years. The hill as introduced applied only to cites of more than 10, 0e0 inhabitants. but this restriction is to be stricken out, accord ing to an amendment proposed py the committee
 The necessity for the measure iies in the fact that purchasers of municipai bonds base their bids, and in fact tneir willingness to bid at any price, upon the size of the city proposing to issue bonds. There are a number of cltles in the State which havbe far out-grown the swaddling, clothes they were wear ing with the federal census of 1900 was taken, and it is necessary for them to have new census, inorder to secure the money needed for improvements.

work on Underground Telephone Lines
 Begins on High Street.
 The laying of subterranean ducts 10 contain the wires of the Southern Bell Telephone Company's lines on High Street will begin tomorrow. After the work on High Street. comprising the interment of wires extending about twelve blocks, has been completed, the change from the pole to the duct syS- tenn will be extended upon other streets.
 For its present work the company now has about six miles of duets which will be used upon about two miles or streets Where the ducts are laid and the poles discarded only distributing poles will be used.
 The Southern Bell Company, Mana ger F. L. Woodruff stated last night began to lay it's wires in ducts about ! six years ago. and has since installed about two miles of the new system each year. The growth of the com pany' sservice in Montgomery Is pro, vided for altogether by the ducts, anc every pole line needing renewal IS re- placed by the underground system.

 The committee meetings yesterday evidenced the fact that the legislators are getting tired of the job of states manship.

Since their return. the mem- bers have worked regularly and hard each day, and 1t is easy to sec they are weary and looking forward to the be- ginning of the home going reces.

ANOTHER CASE
AGAINST WARMERS
WESTON BANKER
MAKES COMPLAINT.
Mrs. Warner Charged With Malicious
ly Securing a Warrant to Search
Weston Bank - Was Busy Going
Through Banks Papers When
Search Warrant Was Resclnded-
Warmers Continued Efforts to Get
Search Warrant at Milton and
Freewater.

Last evening second complaint
charging Mrs. Warner ct al with ma
liciously securing a search warrant,
was filed in the Justices court here.
The complaint was sworn to by B. B..
Hall, cashier of the Farmers Bank
of Weston, and charges them with
mallciously securing a warrant to
search the bank. The party was in
the course of going through the bank
papers when the writ was rescinded
by Justice of the Peace Richards.
The first charge against Mrs. War
ner and her husband and detective
was for securing a warrant to search
the Phillips residence in Weston.
Under the state law the penalty for
obtaining a search warrant with ma
licious intent may be as high as one
year in the county jail or a fine Of
$500.
1t is now known that after Justice
Richards withdrew his search order
the Warmers went to Milton and
Freewater in hopes of securing
search warrant from the justice
there. However. the warrant was
denied them and as they had already
failed to secure a search warrant
from Justice Powers of Weston, they
will seemingly have to give up the
attempt.
Last evening Craddick left for
Spokane, presumably to consult the
cooLapa attornav who Is now handl-
ing the case for Mrs. Warner.

STOWE SAVES ANOTHER LIFE.
Carnegie Gold Medal Hero Turns At
tention TO Drowning Bovine.

A California college athlete, Sam
Stowe. all around good fellow and
Carnegie medal hero, has saved an
other life from the treacherous waters
of the Willamette river. This time
II is a three-months-old calf which
fell from the bluff opposite Mill c
into the locks. He was assisted in
the rescue by Jack Gleason and Lake
MAY, two fellow employees, says the
Dalles Chronicle.
At this point there is sheer fall
of almost 100 feet. The steamer NJ
r. Lang was standing by, and Stowe,
Gleason and May lost no time in get
ting out a lifeboat and going to the
assistance of the bovine. which
bawled at terrible rate. Just as the
calf was going down for the last time
the three braves reached out help
ing hands and held her head above
water until their aid from the steam
er came to complete their heroism.
Mr.. Stowe is we'll known for his
bravery two years ago in jumping In
to the canal and rescuing from
drowning an employe of the Port
land General Electric company who
had fallen into the water. For this
feat Mr.. Stowe was awarded Carne-
gle gold medal for bravery
