NATURE IS NOT YET DIvULCED.
Corteiyou Makes an Important An
nouncemfbt In Regard to Ailot-
ment of New one Year
Certificates.

WASHINGTON, Nov. pa confer.
ence was III progress ut the White
House last night between the president
and j. Pierpont Morgan, George II. Ba-
ker, president of the First National
bank of New York, and Assistant Sec
rotary Robert Bacon. Although the
nature of the conference has not been
divulged, ii is believed TO be in rela'
ton 10 the financial situation.
An important announcement OF poll
cy was made by Secretary Cortelyou in
regard to the allotment of the new
one year treasury certificates which in
dicates that the secretary Is prepared
10 cut red tape as far as possible and
place the proceeds Of the sale OF the
certificates promptly at the disposal OF
the money market. He proposes to
return TO national banks subscribing
for the certificates as deposit of
public money 10 per cent of the cash
paid for them. The remaining % per
cent will go for the time being to
strengthen the cash balance Of the
treasury
The banks surrendering this % per
cent will not however, suffer re-
duction in their supply of currency
for they will be entitled to receive the
par value of the certificates purchased
in new bank circulation. In order 10
make this transaction Immediately ef-
fective the treasury will retain the GER
tificates purchased by each bank If 1t
desires that they be deposited win
the United States treasury as security
for circulation and will ship the notes
at once.
Secretary Cortelyou is studying the
applications for certificates carefully
In order to make the allotments In the
manner which will be most benef1ciai
to the monetary situation.
A great variety of rumors are In
circulation in regard TO the purposes
of the president and Secretary Cortel-
you In regard 10 currency legislation.
Suggestions such as the insuring OF de-
posts in national banks which Mr..
Bryan has just indorsed the issue of
additional bank notes against state
and municipal bonds and the require
ment of interest on government de-
posts In the banks are reported TO
have been presented TO members OF
the administration and TO have been
fayorahy received. The fact appears
to be- however. that the president and
secretary OF the treasury are simply
assuming receptive attitude and are
listening TO all suggestions which are
made to them without committing
themselves 10 any.
The president last year spoke in his
message of the plan of an emergency
circulation based upon securities, but
did not commit himself to 1t. Accord
ing to the best information which can
be obtained. the secretary viii lay de-
cided stress upon the Importance Of
legislation 10 improve the condition OF
the currency, but Will avoid laying
down hard and fast plan. Several
preceding secretaries. from Mr.. Win
dom to Mr. Shaw have presented def
mite plans TO congress, but the ultimate
result has been that they have either
not been acted upon or have been
greatly modified by the respective com.

attention in this quiet village. cul-

"Uncle' Peter has many Children
as has Aunt Elsie, and these children
objected most decidedly to the mar
rage. They tried in many ways to
have the ceremony postponed. but the
old people persisted. and were mar

presence Of a large crowd of colored
people and Il considerable number of
whites who had gathered TO witness
the ceremony.
Aunt Elsie was dressed within an

bouquet Of white flowers. She march,

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1907.

It is real pleasant to read a contem- porary who knows things and can tell them right along without dropping a stitch Here, for example. Is The New Bedford Standard discussing the Kings ton earthquake. and glibly saying that sthere have been no surface eruptions in the region for approximately three millions of years, but for two or three million years before that violent sels- mic disturbances were taking place. during which time mountains rose and disappeared again, and the changing process finally evolved a more. or less stable island. This was accomplish ed in the agesswhen giant water-rep- fi1es swam the ocean which then cov- cred Kansas and Nebraska and mons 4rous dinosaurs wandered up and down the Atlantic coast of the United States"
 That is refreshing, is 1t not? It Is 90 nice to have a newspaper tell us just about how many millions, of years have elapsed since a certain event oc- cured .or did not occur. that we feel npliftad by the information. Truly. the esteemed Standard doesn't tell us how fl gets its information, or upon what # bases it's assertion that 1t has been three million years since there were any surface eruptions on or about the 1sland of Jamaica, but presume 1t has been studying the rocks and other Formations there4bout and thus reached tts Conclusions. The time is too re- mote for our recollection.

Would Prove Harmful.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The bill pending in the Legislature prohibiting railroads from hauling freight on Sundays, except such as. may be classed as perishable, would, 1T enacted into law, prove harmful and the injury would be far-reaching, too. Friends of a stricter Sunday observ- ance traffic one day in seven operates sister State the railroads easily ad- justed themselves to the Sunday law and that shippers do not suffer. But the freight conditions in Georgia and Alabama are entirely different. Geor- gla is chiefly an agricultural State. It has no furnace district to reckon with. Its traffic congestion comes only from z the peach and melon crops, and the law permits all fruits and vegetables to be hauled regardless of the day.
 Every good citizen should be glad to cooperate in every movement for the uplifting of the masses, and Sunday ward the moral improvement of a com munity. But for the same reasons that the iron companies are, by common consent, permitted to operate seven be allowed to haul raw material to the furnaces on Sunday. It Is a well known fact that the furnace companies find 1t impossible to accumulate coal is a day-by-day proposition. Furnaces could not be operated profitably if they had to bank their fires even for a few hours every week. Were they cut off from supplies Sundays most of them would be so handicapped that they would be forced out of business, and thousands of willing laborers in consequence would be thrown out of employment. And, aside from the furnaces, the railroads are compelled to avail themselves of Sunday to clear up their yards and get ready for gen. eral traffic on Monday. In other words, a law prohibiting the movement of freight in Alabama on Sunday would paralyze this district and, indirectly would work injury to the entire State The very fact that ore and coal can be hauled on Sunday makes the con gestion in the agricultural sections less acute during week days.
 This question, of course, must never be considered from a sordid point of view Morals and religion should al ways come before material interests; ; but very close to religion is the duty every man ewes to himself and those dependent on him to make an honest living. and the industrial activities in this State, under the present condi- tions, enable him to do this. In short, Sunday traffic in industrial centers clearly comes under the head of work of necessity"
 The legislative measure referred to may not reach the calendarlf mem bers of the Legislature stop to think, 1t will never be passed.

DANGEROUS BILLS.
Calculated To Many Interests Tn Tn
 

Calculated To Many Interests Tn The
 A number of business men of Bir- mingham will so to Montgomery today to investigate several bills before the Legislature and see what bearing they will have on the industrial welfare of this district
 Two of the bills in particular will be investigated and probably fought strenuously. if there appears to be any chance of their being passed. One Of these is the employers liability bill, which was introduced several days ago. It Is claimed that this bill, more than any other which has been Introduced so far, would inJure thIs district.
 The other bill under consideration is the one which seeks to prevent the operation of freight trains on Sunday, unless they contain pertshable goods It has been stated by railroad men, the heads of large corporations and others that such a law would do this district incalculable harm.
 Among those who are going to Montgomery to look into this matter is B. F. Roden, who is largely inter ested in the B. F. Roden Grocery Company. one of the largest wholesale grocery houses Tn the city MT. Roden stated last night that he was going down to Montgomery to look into sev- eral things and that he was not In DO" sition to discuss them until he re- turned.
 T. 0. Smith, vice president of the Birmingham Trust and Savings Com pany.said that he had been approached by the people In regard to going to Montgomery. but business prevented him from doing so. He stated. how ever that if several of the bills which had been introduced were to become laws they would ruin this district.
