NINE MONTHS PENSION MONEY

Senator Teasley. of Montgomery, yes- terday introduced in the Senate two companion measures to give Confeder- ate veterans their pensions for 1907, and remedy the effect of the new pen sion law, which deprives the veterans of nine months pension money for this year.
 The first of the bills and the most important carries an appropriation of yIOO,000 which is to be paid the old soldiers for the pension money they lost in the transfer of the pension sys- tenn from the old law to the new ,. The second complements the first and provides means for the operation oI tne law.
 1t will be recalled that complaints from old soldiers has gone up Iron every section of the state over the f1rst effect of the new pension law. Under the old pension law they were ptiu annually. An annual payment was due them on october l.
 ~but at that time the new law went into enect. Instead of receiving a \ ears pension tor l30t, they received ,ne nrst quarter of the new years pension money.

 Senator Tillman says 1t Is pity that MT. Carnegie cannot have for grand child a little kinky-haired mulatto kid"
 "Mr. Carnegie has amassed a fortune through the favors of an inquitious tariff and is able to experiment with the negro" said Senator Tillman. He wants more of them, and suggest that he import a colony of the original bar barians in their uncivilized state from Africa. Then he can realize and un- derstand what the South has had to contend with and how much the Southern people have done to civilize and help the race"

RETURNED To
WIFE If TER
THIRTY YEARS

New Britain. Conn. Sept. 12-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth nj. Pierce. who has imagined
herself widow these 81 years. was
dumbfounded last evening when a stran-
ger walked In and greeted her as his
wife.
Under the mask OF his long white
beard she recognized the features of the
man she thought dead when he disap-
peared 81 years ago from their home in
a Long Island town.
He~ was not an Enoch Arden. There
had been no other sweetheart TO take the
place Of the mourned one. She had three
little children to bring up and as the
years went by and she got no tidings
from the missing man, she taught them
that their father was dead. Now the two
SONS are occupying we'll paying positions
and for the last few years Mrs. Pierce
has been living I'm ease.
The white-bearded stranger quickly
convinced her that he was none other
than the missing Edwin B. Pierce. and
before she told him her tale OF hardship
and sacrifice. he unfolded his history Of
three decades. Three times he had won
fortunes. only To see them swept away.
The san Francisco earthquake impov-
erished him. lie drifted back East and
found brother in New Brighton, Pa,
with whom he went into business. The
old man went back TO the town he had
run away from so long ago, but found
no trace of his family. II was only last
week that he learned of their where
abouts.
Yesterday morning he went back to his
brother I'm Pennsylvn MIA. His welcome
had not been cordial but an amicable
agreement was reached.

LONG DISCUSSION ON
"vAAITY FAIR" MATTERS

Continued from Page One)
volved questions raised by the various
proceedings.
John w Hogan, who represents the in
terests OF John j. Banigan. argued that
the court should not have appointed re-
ceiver at an exparte hearing of which
notice had not been given. Ho claimed
that up to this time there was no receiver.
Mr.. Hogan then took up the assignment
for the benefit OF the creditors OF the coz.
poration, which, he said. had been ar
ranged for Monday night and made Tues
day He urged that the assignment was
fair TO all parties, whereas II receiver
was appointed those who already had at
tachments upon the property would have
preference. That Is. the assignment would
dissolve all attachment and the appoint
ment OF "a receiver would not. Mr. Hogan
remarked that among these preferred
claims would be that OF Mr.. Gorman's 8
firm for 5000
Mr.. Hogan presented the deed OF assign
ment FOR benefit OF creditors, and asked
that Il be recorded. II was explained that
the Vanity Fair company could not go
into voluntary bankruptcy. nor could Il be
forced into bankruptcy, as IL was not a
trading corporation.
Mr.. Hogan dealt not very gently with
the course followed by Justin w Wharf
whom. he declared. was, on Mr. Banigan :
money endeavoring to do things not e
Mr.. Banigan's interests. That is, Mr.
Wharf was really working upon Mr.
| Bangan's investment.
There was some lively discussion Over
when the assignment for the benefit OF
| creditors was made Mr.. German wantins
TO know the time Monday IT was voted
! IBrownng r. Nickerson and Thomas +
Mcnamara were the assgnees named
| IL came out at the hearing that the Van
| ity Fair company owed between $50 90
and sSS5.oo0. that there is due TO John j
Bangan. besides the $4,000 on mortgages
some 1000 on notes; that Browning II
Nlckerson has notes not yet due for sl35
600: that the attachments cover $4,000 o
the claims.
Mr. Hogan I'm the course OF his remark:
said that creditors holding claims 20 IN,
amount OF $4,000 were opposed 20 the ap-
polntment OF n receiver
Mr.. German made a brief plea for tho
appointment OF receiver denying Mr.
Hogans assertions that the assignment
offered would be better for the creditors
than the receivership.
Thomas H. lee, who represents the part
les who secured a lease from some OF the
directors said his clients were the only
ones who would take the place In the
main he agreed with the propositions OF
law advanced by Mr. Hogan.
After Mr.. Hogan had offered 10 place
