and is very hard on the fingers of
those who are compelled to perform
the task.

with a handle, and the other is fitted
with clamping apparatus designed

FORAKER TAKES STUMP.
Has Differed With President on Only
Three Points, He Says.

Canton, Ohio.-Senator Joseph B.
Foraker opened his campaign against
the friends of Secretary Taft for con-
troll of the State here when he deliv-
cred speech at the Board of Trade
dinner.
His topic was "Our Civic Life"
but he discussed his career in Con-
gress, explained his attitude toward
President Roosevelts policies, de-
clared that he would accept no criti-
cism except from his constituents,
and held himself accountable to no
one else. He said he had only thrice
opposed legislation favored by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that he would
abide by the Judgment of the people
of Ohio as to whether he had done
right. His references to the Presi-
dent were received without demon
stration.
Mr.. Foraker's reception upon his
arrival and during the afternoon was
perhaps not so warm as usual.

A BILLION PAID FOR AUTOS.
french Statistician Says That Rmarica Now
Leads the World.

Washington, D. C.-M. Faroux,
French statistician, according to a
report received by the Bureau of
Manufactures, estimates that about
$4,000 motor cars have been manu-
featured in the nine FEARS since the
experiment of self-propelled road ve-
hicles first succeeded. These ma
chimes sold for more than billion
dollars.
Until a year ago France, the pio-
neer, led the world in the production
of the motor vehicle. Now the United
States has taken the lead, Accord
ing to M Faroux, the United States
built 10000 automobiles in 1906,
France $4,000, England $4,000, Ger
many $4,000, Italy 10000 and Bel
GUM 10000. In 1901 the United
States built only 314 cars, and that
same year France built 23,711.

COST OF LIVING LESS.
Commodity Prices Fall, Partly Because the Hen
is RuSV

New York City. - A decline of
nearly two per cent. in commodity
prices is attributed by Dun's Index
Number in large measure to the
spring activities of the American hen
and the consequent decline in the
price of eggs of ten and half cents
a dozen, which resulted in heavy
increase in the per capita consump-
ton.
1t is usual at this time of year for
the prices of dairy and garden pro-
ducts to recede, but last month the
decline was exceptional. Comment
ing on the causes of the decline, out
side of the influence of the break in
eggs, Dun's mentions the relief to
railway freight blockades, that made
it possible to move grain and many
other products more freely to mar
ket, and the feeling of conservatism
in some industries, which restricted
purchases of raw materials.

is necessary to concede the fact that
the ordinary womens pocketbooks
are not very large. Probably Nais
accounts for the fact that pocket
books are being discarded and hand
bags introduced. A New Jersey in
ventor has devised a unique article
which he terms "a pocketbook, but
which nevertheless, has the carrying
capacity of handbag. 1t really re-
sembles what might be called min
iature dress-suit case or travelling
bag. In the accompanying illustra-
ton it is shown in an open position.
Across the top is wire frame SINH
lar to those used in a travelling bag,
but, of course, smaller. On each
side of the frame are clasps by which
the pocketbook can be opened or
closed. When open there is ample
space in this pocketbook to place
everything needed. At the same
time, when closed it is no larger than
the ordinary pocketbook in size and
appearance.

 Suit. NOT THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE Lee Street Was Given Railroad by City Eleven Years Ago. Petition. By Property Owners To At- torney General Garber Asks Th@t His Name And That Of state
 Be Withdrawn.
NOT THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE

A petition to Attorney General Alex M. Garber, protesting against the &C., tion of that official in bringing in the name of the State a suit to force the removal from the foot of Lee street of the Louisville and Nashville freight property owners of the city, and has been quite libera1ly signed.
 The petition in full is as follows: ITO the Hon. Alex M. Garber, Attor-
 ney General of the State of Ala
 bama:
 of the City of Montgomery, respectful ly represent that they have been in- formed that you, in your official ca- pacity as Attorney General of the State of Alabama, have seen fit in the exer- else of the discretion vested in you, to sign your name and the name of the State of Alabama to a bill in equity, the purpose of which Is to force the removal of the Louisville and Nashville freight depot from the foot of Lee street so as to make Lee street the entrance to the union passenger station.
 Assuming that in thus exercising that discretion, you were laboring un- der the the belief that k you S,., were meet meet ests of Montgomery, we take this method of advising you that in our opinion the best interests of the City of Montgomery will not be subserved by the removal of said freight depot and the making of Lee street the en- trance to the passenger station, and we further desire to say to you that if this litigation instituted against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany above alluded to, should be suc- cessful, the effirt of 1t would be to abrogate a solemn contract made and entered into in good faith between the City of Montgomery and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. more than eleven years ago, which was sub sequently ratified and approved by an act of the Alabama Legislature.
 We, therefore. earnestly request you to withdraw your name and the name of the State of Alabama from the bill to which you have permitted your name and the name of the State of Ala bama to be signed, evidently without a full Knowledge of the facts
 The petition has been signed by the following business men and firms of the city:

AGAIN THE SALOON
LOBMAN WANTS LICENSE RATE
 RAISED.
Would Make Figures $500 and $500. Instead of &200 and 84O0--Sul. livan would Bar Georgia
 Saloon Men.

As unto the bow the cord is," so unto the Council is the liquor license.
 In it's session last night, the summus of the session, the sine qua non, was license rate for the retailing of liquor Alderman Sullivan dropped his smile as quickly as fell wings of Icharus from their waxen soldered receptahles, while at the same time other members of the Council rose up en masse and took a most interesting notice.
 Suavely and as debosair as is usual with him. Alderman Lobman intro duced in quick succession two or- dinances that knocked in a trice every Alderman off his props The first of the ordinances called for an amendment to section 901 of the City Code, sub division 116, to read an increase of the license in the residence districts of the city from $200 to $500, and was at once referred to the Finance Committee.
 The second of the ordinances. spieled cut before the prostrated Aldermen had recovered from the blow adminis- tered them, called for an amendment to the same section. subdivision 115, to make the license in the fire districts of the city read $500 isstead of $400. It took the same path as its predeces- sor. Later in the evening an attempt was made by Alderman Sullivan to have the ordinance referred to other com mittees. but failed. x
 The sixth ward representative, how ever, came back with a resolution almost as warm. The resolution which forbids the issuance of license to any party save one who has ben is the city twelve months before ap- plication is made for 8 liquor license, was aimed at the Georgians who are expected to leave tho wet State by the first of nexr year. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee for & con- sideration.
 Alderman sulliyan's resolution to the above effect, as suggested in The Adver- tiser several weeks ago, is identical with similar steps that have been taken by other cities to keep out the Georgians in the protection of home isterests.
