There was considerable discussion
on the streets yesterday concerning
the new judge to be appointed in this

Yesterday the friends of Emmett
Wolfe circulated a petition among the

Washington. Jan. 16.--The senate
tonight regarded the end of the
Brownsville discussion in sight and
expect that Senator Foraker's reso-
luton, offered just before adjourn
ment, will be adopted. Senator Fora
ker, when he had the floor, expressed
the hope that he would make the con-
Guiding speech on the subject. He
may be interrupted by regular bust
ness tomorrow, in which case he will
finish on Friday. -
While speaking to-day, DIR Foraker
offered a substitute for ali of his pre-
ViOus resolutions, as follows:
Resolved, That the Committee on
military affairs is hereby authorized
and directed, by subcommittee or
otherwise, TO make an have printed
the testimony for the purpose Of asCer
tanning all the facts regarding the
Brownsville ARRAY Said. committee
is authorized to send for persons and
papers, administer oaths, sit during
sessions at Brownsville or elsewhere
and all expenses to be paid out of the
contingent fund of the senate"
1t appeared that the resolution was
acceptable to Senator Lodge and other
supporters of the administration, and
it is believed viii be. unanimously
accepted.
A feature of the dehate to-day was
the arraignment OF republican sena-
tors, by Senator Cert ae.S for their
criticism OF the pfesissht's course IN
the Brownsville affair. He declared
that either fhe president must be re-
nominated or the platform on which
he stood be returned to the Demo
Gratis.
Senators Stone, Money and Knox
followed and each upheld the author
ity of the president to take the action
he did and favoring an investigation.

Stockholders of J. R. Saun-
ders Co., Find Condition
of Company Very
Flattering.
SEMI-ANNUAL DIVIDEND OF 5
PER CENT DECLARED, $4,000
PASSED TO SURPLUS AND A
NEAT SUM TO THE UNDIVIDED
PROFITS ACCOUNT.

The first annual meeting of the
stockholders and directors of the J.
r. Saunders Company, Pensacola s
big naval stores company, was held
yesterday in the office of the com
pany, there being a good attendance
OF stockholders, many of whom re
side in other cities and towns.
Considering the fact that the com
pany was only incorporated last April,
being one of the new corporations
formed during the year 1906, it was
found to be in a most satisfactory
condition, the reports OF the officers
being hattering, and they were com
plimented by the directors upon ex-
cellent manner in which they had
handled the business during the past
year. The company is Incorporated
for 100000 capital stock, S350,000 OF
which is paid up.
Yesterday after the reports hal
been received a semi-annual dividend
of 5 per cent. was declared, $50, 900
passed to the surplus fund and a neat
sum added to the undivided profits,
which shows to some extent the sue
cess of the new industry. 1t might
be stated, in this connection, that this
company is home concern, the head
quarters being in this city, while the
majority of the stockholders are also
residents Of Pensacola and this terri
tory.
The company is one of the few indie
pendent naval stores concerns OF the
south. By that is IN Pant that it IL
both factor and exporter, buying the
product of the operators and export
ing the same.
After the stockholders meeting, the
directors convened in session and
selected officers for the ensuing year.
The full list of officers AMI directors
is as follows:
