MODEL INSURANCE LAW.

 District of Columbia.

Roosevelt Wants Strong Measure for
 District of Columbia.
 Washington, Jan. 24-President Roosevelt today sent to Congress the following message favoring a model in- surance law in the District of Codlum- bia: ''ro the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives:
 T transmit herewith a report and subsequent letter from the Superin- tendent of the Department of Insur- ance of the District of Columbia and a letter of Mir. Louis D. Bradis of Boston, in reference thereto. I agree with the recommendation of MT. Drake that what is needed is an insurance law for the District of Columbia on the lines of the so-called Ames bill, already introduced in the House of Representatives revising 1t So as to include in 1t all the desirable features of the so-called uniform bill.
 with proper notifications after ex- pert revision this bill could be enacted into a law so comprehensive and just that it would stand as a model of equity. I regret greatly that there Is no national power to deal with this subject; but, inasmuch as this seems at present to be the case, we should at least establish a model law in the District of Columbia.
 T feel that the Department Of In- surance of the District of Columbia should be made a bureau in the De- partment of Commerce and Labor.

 Mobile, Jan. 24. Mobile stands an excellent chance of getting the Odd Fellows Home, which is planned for Alabama.
 Florence, Albertville and Edwards vile are also making a fight for the institution, but the local committee, composed of members of the l. O. O. F. lodges in Mobile. Whistler and Ma poleonville. fell certain 1t will be able to land the home for this city.
 The institution is to go to the city which offers the best inducements, and certainly, say the members of the com mittee, Mobile will be able to offer bet ter inducements for the home than any of the other cities which desire It. Last night the Widows and Orphans Committee of the Odd Fellow lodges of the city, held a meeting m the lodge rooms, but no business was transacted because of the failure of several mem bers to attend.
 Aonther meeting will be held Friday night, and in the meantime the Odd Fellows of the city are working hard to get the needed money. for which purpose a concert Is to be given by the Rebekahs in a few days.

 Mobile, Jan. 24.
 Already the fans are planning the futur3 of the Mobile team this year in the Cotton States League Bernie Mo- Cay. the new manager, has not yet come to town and has not ordered his men out to practice, or even to gather here, but the irrepressible fan is at work. Manager McCay has some good men on the list, as shown by his report to local ofhctals of the team several days ago, which was used in The Advertise CT. Several of last years favorites are among them, and some altogether new men.
 Discussion is rife each evening on the street corners about the new ones. What are they like? welch, who Is scheduled to do some of the pitching Is fairly well known by local lovers of the amateur end of the sport, as he has | been pitching for the Thomasville team l and has done some excellent work His speed Is short, but he has wonderful control of the sphere and a bunch of curves stored back in his arm. Puckett, of North Alabama. is anoth- | CT who has been seen on several occas- ions along the Gulf coast He has been behind the bat when Diaz, the idol of the coast" was In the box. and besides, he knowns how to handle the | willow.
 A telegram was received by Dr. Harry T. Inge, owner of the local baseball franchise, from John P. Latin rop. of Pensacola, asking if there was any chance for Pensacola to get in the Cotton States. At the present time nothing definite can be said about this proposition, even recognising the fact th~t 'ensacola is good base ball town.
 Tie amateur teams of Mobile are planning their work for the year. and 1t is certain there will be fine auali- 1 ty of game put out by these boys. MAny people wo Id rather watch a god amateur game than that of the professionals, because of the acouain- tance personally vii the players. spring Hill College is forming its team and will begin practive as soon as the Lenten season has opened.

 Organize.
 Mobile, Jan .24-(Special)- )-It is al- together probable that a new organiza- ton will spring into existence in Mo bile in the near future. This will take the form of a Press Club
 For several weeks there has been talk of the organization of a press club by the newspaper men of the city The plan, according to those who are fos- tering it, Is to organize all the news paper writers of the various papers in tn city, the correspondents of out-of- town newspapers and magazines, and even those authors who write matter published occasionally, leaving out of the organization the authors who do higher work than newspaper grinding" leaving out the business managers, and all other employees of the newspaper force.
 Mobiles newspaper fraternity Is not made up of local men entirely, as 1t was several years ago. Tn that time .men have come here from all parts of the country, and since they have been members of press clubs in other cities, and have enjoyed the social evenings chatting over various affairs with newspaper men after the grind" of the ! day was over they feel lonely here. and are in heart and soul for the or ganization of the press club.
 More details may be expected in a few weeks, as soon as the coming rush ! of the Mardi Gras is over, when the fellows are anxious to have some of the quiet of the sackcloth season.
