NO AGREEMENT MADE. Pensacola is Threatened With Bread
 Famine.

Pensacola, July 27-(Special.) )-Pen- sacola is threatened with a bread fam inc after tomorrow, as a result of the men of the Bakers Union and Master Bakers failing to come to an agree ment as to the scale of wages. The de- mand of the bakers for increase of 25 per cent in the scale becomes ef- fective tomorrow night and they say they will walk out.
 The Master Bakers today issued a card to the public, in which they state before they will grant exhorbitant and unjust demands that they will close down their places of business and this they expect to do tomorrow night, when the bakers will walk out.
 The Master Bakers state that they would ot object to the scale demanded if good workmen are furnished but re- fuse to pay those now employed the prices demanded.
 Upon being sworn into the office of mayor today. Mayor C. c. Goodman, who succeeds Charles H. Bliss. as the city's chief executive, appointed today J. E. D. Younge to be president of the city council, made vacant by Mir. Good man taking the higher office.
 The new council president is only twenty-five years of age and Is the son of P. K. Younge. a member of the aldermanic body.
 President Younge received his edu- cation at the Alabama Polytechnic In- stitute at Auburn and is now practicing law

And when 1t goes down it is going to be in great danger. Senator Lusk an- nounced on the floor Friday night that the Governor would certainly veto the measure If 1t came to the Governors 8 office.
 Both Houses are far from finishing with the general bills that are on the calendars. but in the main the general bills or of minor importance. The local bills will be easily passed No member need have his local bill left to die on the calendar. Before the final adjournment the roll will be called for the passage of local measures and there will be no response.
 Absolutely nothing was doing in Legislative circles yesterday. For one thing the weather '.,as hot and the law makers were inclined to take the day easy after the strenuous experi- ence of the week. Then a great many of the members hurried home to spend Sunday with their families.
 Several abortive attempts were made to hold cor .ittee meeti0gs yesterday but the necessary quorum was never forthcoming. The few law makers who remained. in the city went to the capitol to get their mail and write letters and that ,s about all the legislative work that was done

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS Surprises Come Thick
 and Fast. MR. FINLEY IS ARRESTED Though Released, Will Remain in
 Asheville. Federal and State Authorities Clash Over Seizure of Executive of Southern and Contempt Pro-
 ceedinEs May Result.
MIR. FINLEY IS ARRESTED

Asheville, N. C., July 27.-Develop-
 ments came thick and fast today in the
 railroad rate law controversy, War
 rants were issued for President Fin ley of the Southern Railway and City Ticket Agent o. c. Wilson of the same
 road.
 The warrant for President Finley
 was placed in the hands of a police-
 man who went to the Battery Park
 Hotel to serve the papers upon the
 executive head of the Southern In
 the meantime arrangements had been
 made for habeas corpus before Judge
 Pritchard to secure Mr. Finley's re- lease.
 The policeman did not succeed in
 reaching the police court with his
 prisoner. Just as he was ready 70
 leave the hotel, a deputy United states
 marshal walked into the hotal ond
 took charge of MT. Finley. The po- liceman stood aside and MT Finley
 was taken to the Federal Court room. where he will be given liberty by
 Judge Pritchard.
 When the police officer called at the
 hotel for MT. Finley. the latter was eating breakfast and requested that he
 be allowed to finish his meal. His
 time MT. Finley's private secretary
 got into communication with Judge
 Pritchard, who 1t is believed, cut his own breakfast short and came down
 town and issued the writ which was
 served just as the march to the police court began.
 It was noon before the formalities in
 the habeas corpus proceedings incident to the arrest Of President Finley were inaugurated and while 1t was taken for
 granted that MT. Finley would be re.
 leased much interest was aroused by
 the proceedings. President Finley
 himself and all the officers involved were called to the witness stand to re. late the circumstances of his arrest. The police officer on whom the writ was served by Judge Pritchard denied that he actually had MT. Finley in cus- tody or that the railroad man was actually denied his liberty. On the contary, the deputy marshal testified that he found Mir. Finley actually in the custody of the policeman.
 As the warrant for the arrest of MT. Finley was sworn to by an officer. pre- sumably at the instance of Police Judge Reynolds, 1t appears doubtful whether the Federal Court can resort to contempt proceedings against the State authorities in this instance. Af- ter his release. President Finley au- thorized the statement that he would remain in Asheville for a while. and that he has telegraphed North to bring out the postponement of board meet Ing which he was to attend Tuesday.
 It was pointed out that it would never do far Finley to leave now. as to re- tire under fire would have a demor- alizing effect throughout the Southern system for agents at other points are constantly menaced with arrest. For this reason. the head of the system will fight 1t out on the grounds chosen by the State authorities.

TO OPREVENT WRECKS
THAT THE PURPOSE OF NEW IN-
 MENTION.
Bill Passing House Exempting Life- Saving Devices From Taxation Due to Recent Invention by
 James E. Andrew.

The bill which has passed the House exempting from taxation all plants de- voted to the manufacture of life saving devices Is due to the invention of James E. Andrew of Montgomery, which has attracted such general at tention among railroad men.
 The device is to prevent wrecks and 1t works automatically on wheel leaving the track. MT. Andrew Is himself a practical railroad man, hay ing spent many years in the service.
 He had an Idea on the prevention of wrecks, an idea that provided for the taking care of wheel as soon as it jumped the rails and before any dam age could be done.
 The practical test of the Andrew in vention has already been made. It has been applied to railroad cars and given a thorough test. The railroad men have been greatly impressed by the in- vsntion and they are of the opinion that 1t will greatly influence the rail- road business of the country.
 MT. Andrew has organized a com pany for the manufacture of the ap- pliance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS.
Public Slaughter House Discussed and Committee Appointed to Investigate.

Public Slaughter House Discussed and Committee Appointed to Investigate.
 Demopolis. July 27.-(Special )-At the last meeting of the City Council the matter of a public slaughter house was discussed and a committee was appointed to investigate the conditions of the public slaughter houses in vari- ous cities and report back at the next meeting. There seems to be a general desire to provide some such place for the slaughter of all animals killed for this market, the work to be done un- der the supervision of a city official. The present idea is to erect a stone oy vided with water arrangements so that it can easily be flushed. This building will probably be erected some- where on the river bank so that easy drainage can be obtained. Here all the slaughtering will be done under the wstchful eye of a special officer. We think the public will heartily endorse the proposition and welcome its early operation.

 The only trouble in the conference was a selection of the date at which the 3 1-4 cents rate should be come ef- fective.
