BOATS No TROUBLE

Washington, D. C., Aug. 2S.-Act-
ing Secretary Newberry returned to
Washington from Oyster Bay bring
ling Official details of the projected
cruise OF the battleship fleet to the
Pacific.
Everything will be in readiness
for the feet to sail on December l,
and the date of the departure will ba
between December l and 10. All of
! the orders to the heads of bureaus
are of a verbal character. As ar
ranged, the itinerary provides for
I, ten knots an hour, which is regarded
as the most economic speed for the
| feet,
This will permit the GOLFERS TO ac-
company the feet for part of the
Voyage on the Atlantic side. Start
ing with their bunkers filled with
Icoal, the ships will require in addi-
tion 100, 5i04 tons, not counting the
coal that will be burned by the tor
pedo boats. wiiici, will be provided by
merchants en- route.
Many Golfers Are Needed.
This great supply of coal must be
provided by GOLFERS. Four small col
liers, the Hannibal, Mareellus, Sterl-
ing and Nanshan. carrying 2 .20O tons
each, will accompany the feet to
Trinidad, and five large GOLFERS, the
Ajax, Abarenda, Brutus, Caesar and
Nero, carrying 1000 tons each, will
go as far as Rio Janeiro.

twelve additional GOLFERS, and four
of these will meet the fleet at Sandy
Point. Magellan straits; four at Cal

bay Each of the GOLFERS will carry
G, 900 tons of coal.
II Is the intention of the navy de-
partment TO buy as much American

HITS CORPORATIONS
lLUsK BIII RECEIVES FAVOR OF
 COMMITTEE.
Measure scfd to Be Most Drastic Yet Presented to Legislature-Prohibts Appeal to Federal le

The Committee on Corporations of the senate yesterday reported far- arably the Lusk corporation bill. which Is believed to be the most important corporation bill yet introduced. and which Is declared by the corporations to be the most drastic corporation measure vet brought into the Senate.
 The chief objection of those pppos- ing tho bill is that it forbids a corpo- ration from taking case from the state court to the federal courts. Un- der the bill. if foreign corporation should do this, 1t would forfeit its right tc do business in Alabama
 The bill Is intended to domesticate the foreign corporations which are de- inx business in this State. For one thing. 1t provides that the foreign cor- perations shall take out licenses and pay taxes similarly to domestic cor- porations. Then comes tho provision to which most objection Is raised--the baragraph which declares the license ct corporatfon forfeited which takes a suit in which it is interested from the State court to the Federal court.
 If the bill should become a law 1t is said it will be on of the first meas ures to be tested in the courts.

NO TRACE OF BODY
EFFORTS TO DISCOVER FARMER ROY OF NO AVAIL.
Searchers Drag River to Bring Corpse of Man Supposed to he Drowned to Surface-NegrOes still
 Held,

The search for the body of H. D. C. Roy, who is believed to have been accidentally drowned in the Alabama River early Sunday morning. was con- tinued yesterday without result.
 Dynamite was used to bring the bCdy to the surface and the bottom of the river was dragged thoroughly. Watermen say that under ordinary conditions the corpse of drowned person rises to the surface of the water on the third day after the drowning, but that in cold weather such as now prevails the body might remain upon the bottom for q week.
 David Armstrong and Joe Bradford negroes, who were arpested by the police for suspected complicity in MT. Roy's disappearance win be kept in custody until definite information of MT Roy's fate can be had or un- til hope of ascertaining the manner of his disappearance is abandoned

JUDGE HAS PROTEST
THOMAS DECLARES TEASLEY BILL
 IS NOT FAIR.
Rafses Objection to Measure Before Committee, With Regard to Dates of ElectiOns-FavOrabIe Re-
 port Made.

The committee on Local Legislation of the Senate yesterday gave the bill of Senator Charles Teasley, making elective theejudges of the City Court of Montgomery a favorable report. Judge W. 1T. Thomas, Associate Judge of the City Court appealed be- fore the committee and argued against one of the features of the bill
 The feature to which Judge Thomas objected was that which placed the election of the Associate Judge in 1908. but which provided that the Judge should not he elected until 1914. Judge Thomas will be re- e-elected by the present Senate without opposi- ton. Judge Sayre will be reappoin- ted judge by Governor Conner. The bill provides the people of the county shall vote for an associate judge in 1908. It further provides that the ap- pointment made by the Governor for 8 judge shall hold until 1914.
 Judge homas made a brief argu- ment before the committee at it's meet ing in the Senate Chamber yester- day afternoon. He declared the cleo tive feature of the bill was not cbjec- tionable to him, but that the exten- sion of the Judges term while the associate judges term expired next year, was an apparent favoritism, to which he objected The committee. however, endorsed the bill with a fa- vorable report
 The bill, therefore, is an assurance there will he race in Montgomery county next year for associate judge of the City Court. Hon. Alex Troy, of this city, is already an announced candidate to oppose Judge Thomas.
 Several matters were before the Local Legislation Committee, of which Senator Merritt,of Macon is chairman. For one thing, the committee decided upon favorable report for the bill of Senator Henry Reese of Dallas county, which gives the Central Fair Associa ton relief from taxation. The bill provides that because of it's benfits to the farming interests of Central Ala bama, the Central Alabama Fair As sociation will not be required to pay taxes on its property in Dallas county.
 The bill extending the corporate limits of the town of BIocton. was also given a favorable report There was apparently no opposition to the measure.
 A favorable report was given the bill of Senator Bayles. relating to the fine and forfeiture fund of Choctaw county. This bill converts the fine

TALKS OF BARGE SYSTEM.
W. r. Vandiver Says Scheme is Inl-
 practicable for Montgomery.

W. r. Vandiver Says Scheme is Im-
 practicable for Montgomery.
 W. F. Vandiver is personally. and but for lack of time might be commercially interested in the proposed establish ment of barge system from the War rior coal fields to Mobile. MT. Val. i- yer thinks the plan feasible and that it will be consummated.
 MT. Vandiver recently conferred with J. H. Hoadley of New York. who has much capital invested in the Birming- ham district upon the establishment of the barge line which Mir Vandiver was asked to- undertake. He had to de- cline on account of other business. but is believer in the success of the projected enterprise. Speaking of the project yesterday MT. Vandiver said
 "The plans. as outlined by Mir. Hoad- lev. contemplate the establishment of line of tow boats and barges between Mobile and n point on the Warrior River. probably near Tuscaloosa, with connecting railroad between the se- lected point and the centre of the coal fields. When distance between Tus- caloosa and tidewater is compared with the distance between Pittsburg and New Orleans, between which the barge system is so successfully em- ployed. the plans are very attractive. Mir. Hoadley said that he would guar antec profit to investors if the rate were even so low as 4G cents ton.
 Tt would not be feasible, however, to establish a barge line to transport coal from Mobile to Montgomery, as the towing of loaded barges up stream is too difficult But the benefit to Blr- mingham and Mobile. and through .nem to other parts of the State, would be vast. Birmingham already has an advantage in the production of iron and steel. which it produces more cheaply than any other mineral centre in the world, and 1t would have az grandized advantage if the products could be carried at greatly reduced rates on water route"

SUNDAY FRElGHT TRAINS.
petition of Railroad Men Against Pro-
 posed Legislatian

Montgomery. Ala. Jan. 20. 1907. To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives, State of Alabama: :: Gentlemen-You have been requested by the Governor of our State to enact a law. which deals with the momentous question of preventing freight trains from moving through the limit of the State of Alabama every seventh day We beg to take the liberty of offering an expression of our views in the pren- ises.
 We do most earnestly appreciate your eff Jrts to help us by the enact- nent of such rash laws as will tend to improve our working conditions; but we confidently hope that you will not destroy the good work which our Un- ins have helped to build up. by prop erly regulating the schedules of our freight trains which are handling the great commercial interests af the South.
 Under the present circumstances our freight business is being handled with dispatch and regularity, with ease and comfort to our trainmen, and with the greatest possible decrease of danger. incident to train wrecks, which dang er Is removed by reason of the pres- ent uniform methods of handling the long. heavy freight trains
 Rut you car readily see my dear sirs, how great will he the congestion. multiplied confusion and extra hard ship these things will impose upon our men. whom you are apparently trying 10 oenefit, if the Governor succeeds in having his suggestion become a law.
 Under the proposed law, we would be required to stop our trains when w@ arrived at the State line on Satur- day and remain there until Monday. Although in sight of home, we would be kept away twenty-four hours long CT. thus materially increasing our 1iv- Ing expenses and radically decreasing our earnings. Besides being subjected to greater danger of wrecks by reason of the congestion and confused condi- tions incident thereto.
 The present favorable working con- ditions and acceptable salaries are the outgrowth of years of struggle on the part of our labor unions. and they nave been gained by great individual sacri- flee. In palmer words a law to pro- hibit the moYinf of freight trains on Sundays would reduce our salary four teen per cent. We are. therefore, op- posed to any. arbitrary law which cenIs to destroy the good work thus attained by our labor organizations. Under the present circumstances we have ample time for social and relig- ious advantages, so that no harmful in- fluence Is felt along this line. More nver. if the proposed law is intended to help our trainmen. for the above reasons, we would much prefer to ask you to oppose it's passage.
 The hundreds of trainmen. whom we represent, are entertaining the above views and are looking to you for prop CT and equitable adjustment of this inn portant question, with the earnest hope that you will not permit such radical suggestions to become a law of our State.
 Yours respectfully,
 s. II. Allen.
 General Chairman. for the Trainmen.

MRS. ELvA CAREER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a Woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life.
 Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through i'll health dates from one or another of these im- portant crises.
 Women should remember that Lydia B. pinkham's Vegetable Conspound mado from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and In later years carried them safely through the change of life more sue cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fAct beyond contradiction.
