TAFT AFTER BRYAN
HE SAYS NEBRAsKAN IS ALSO A | POSTPONEH.
The Secretary of War Explains thsf He Is In Favor of Tariff Revision
 At the 0pportune

Tacoma. washn.. Sept 7-Secretary Taft twice today lifted the gage of controversy hurled at him by William Jennings Bryan. He spoke at Tacoma. and Olympia At Tacoma he said in part:
 'Mr Bryan in discussing aoma of my views on the tarff and other mat ters, has done me the honor to call me the great postponer.' With respect to the tariff, was in favor of revision last year and I am still in favor of re- vision, but I am a party man ana [ hope a practical man. and I realize tho lack of wisdom and the danger both to the party and to the country in at- tempting a revision of the tarifK imnie 2 diately in the midst of a presidenffal campaign. I am convinced that the Re- publican party as a party will come to. Q revision of the tarifr immediately af- ter the next presidential slection. If 1t cannot be done this year. am in favor of doing it next year.
 For the two presidential campaigns MT. Bryan urged the free coinage of silver at 1e to 1, but now he is post poing the issue until he can bring 1t forward again as a panacea In times of financial disaster. Secondly, Mir. Bry- an is. now emphasizing the object Of antf-imperialism and the oppression Of the Philippines. but he postponed the issue of anti-imperialism, until by his efforts. the treaty of Paris was adopted and the sovereignty of the Philippines was transferred from Spain to the United States. This Is really the only piece of actual affirmative conatructtvs statesmanship with which Mir. Bryan's name has been connected and he has now for eight years been engaged in attempting to explain that way,S

 TOURISTS PASSED THROUGH
Missed Connecting Here, En Route to Cuba, and were Forced to spend the Night-AII Pleased With

A party of Birmingham people, under the chapenonage of C. T. Phillips, or Havana, spent the night in Montgom- cry. en route to Cuba, where they are going to inspect some investments They expect to be gone for some time
 The BIrminghamites In the party were T. c. Mcdonald, J. r. McCary and C. P. Frazier. They were accom- panied by w. G Chipley, of Atlanta, and R. E. Harrison of Cincinnati. MT Harrison is a well known Ohio capi- talist, being vice president of a shoe manufacturing house in the Ohio metropolis.
 The party arrived in Montgomery over the Louisville and Nashville last evening, and missed their train over the Atlantic Coast Line. It was, as one of the party explained, an accident that they stopped in Montgomery over night, but" he added, since we have looked over your city little. we are entirely reconciled to it."
 The party was taken in charge by John Moffat chief clerk of the EX- change Hotel. and shown various points of tnteres> about the city. They were all pleased with what they saw, and somewhat astonished at the numerous evidences of prosperity upon their line of march.

To Try New BattIeshIp,

Washington. D. C., Sept. Naval officers are looking forward with in- Crest to the final trial run of the battleship Vermont which is to take p1ace thief irst of the week. In addi- tion to the test of the engines. the bat tery of the vessel will be fired suf- ficiently often to enable the inspection board to determine whether the guns. gun carriages and their fittings work properly, and whether the vessel Is sufficiently strong to stand the shock of firing.
 The Vermont Is of 16.oO0 tens dis placement and has 16,500 indicated horsepower. She is one of tLu larg- estbattleships ever built for the Amerl- can navy, and is up-to~date in every particular. Shew as constructed at the Fore River shipyards at cost ex- ceeding $4,00O,000.
 Another battelship of the same class as the Vermont which will be tested soon is the Kansas The third battle ship of the same class. the Minnesota, was placed in commission a hort ~~-le ago. These three battleships are the largest so far added to the American navy,

apartment house with her throat cut. She had staggered down two flights of stairs, apparently In an effort to get to a doctors office on the ground floor. It was said at the time of the murder that constantino. who had boarded with the Gentrys, was seen running down the back stairway of the house.
 Although the police had a good de- scription of the man, every effort to find him proved unavailing. It was more than a year later, on April 2 last, that he was arrested as he was boarding a steamer in Brooklyn bound for Italy. He had taken passeg under the name of Pasquale Gelorma. After much questioning he admitted his iden- tity, but denied that he was guilty of the murder of Mrs. Gentry. The wo- man, he declared, committed suicide in his presence. Fearing that he would be accused of the crime, he said he had fled from Chicago and for year had lodged about from place to place. In the course of his wanderings he said he had travelled to Italy and thence to South America and on one occasion had visited Chicago since his first flight.
 Constantine admitted that the deed had been committed with his razor and the police claim Co have a. sure case against him. The only weak point, however, appears to have been the lack of motive for the crime. Up to the present this important feature has been missing, but the States at- torney, who will conduct the prosecu- ton, now declares that the motive has been discovered and the prosecution will be able to show it beyond a doubt. Constantine, who Is young Italian of good apeparance, had relatives in New York who are well-to-do and 1t Is said that ample funds are forthcom- ing for a vigorous defense.

coUNrx,s TAXABLE VALUES.
Morgan Comes To Front With a Hand
 some Increase.


 Decatur, Sept. Special. )-rhe as- sessed taxable values of Morgan coun- ty real estate and personal property amounts to $772, ,s61 more this year than that of last year.
 The assessed values last year were s6,5O6,154, while the assessed values this year were $7.2S9.015. The tax val ues last year were S77,326.71, while the tax values this year are $S7.37S.O4' or $1O,O51.3 .33 more this year than they were last year.
 This Is quite a remarkable showing for Morgan county. While it is true that under the new State tax laws the taxes in most counties of the State were raised considerable to meet the requirements of the law, from the fact that the assessed values were not high enough. But this new law has cut but little figure fin the increased values In Morgan county from the fact that her assessed values were almost up to the standard and. as compared with other counties of the State, the raise made here on account of the new law were comparatively few.
 The increse here is due largely to the natural increase in the value of Nor gan county realty and the Sroperty improvements.

PRIVATE VS. CAPTAIN
CASE SET FOR TRIAL IN MAJOR
 BABER's COURT.
E,ucounter over Request For Relief From Drill Results I'm Duo Of Cases In The Recorders
 Court.

A charge of assault and battery has heen sworn out in the Recorder s Court against Captain George H. Todd IT,, by Milton W. crustus, as an mel dent of the trouble which resulted m his arrest on the charge of the theft of a government uniform that Was brought against Crusius by Captain Todd. The two cases were set for trial yesterday by Recorder Baper TOT September 10.
 1t seems that the two men, captain and private in Battery B, had an en- counter Thursday evening at the week ly drill. MT. Crusius's brother, A. F Crusius, who is a member Of the pat tery, had been sent for with detach- mept. 1t seems, not being present al the drill, and he sent back word by the detachment that his mother was Ill and not only did he wish to be absent from the drill, but he desired that hls brother, Milton Crusius, should return home to assist in the care Of his mother.
 1t was this request, when preferred to Captain Todd by Milton Crusius which precipitated the trouble. There was a scene which is not described In the manual of arms of the national guard, the verbal fisticuffs finally giv- ing way to a physical argument
 1t was in view of this debate over the question of his being relieved from duty that Milton Crusius swore to the complaint charging Captain Todd with assault and battery. At the same time Captain Todd accused Crusius, in a complaint sworn to before police oticial, with having committed Jar ceny in the taking, swiping, stealing and hornswaggling of one uniform belonging to Uncle sam.
 Crusius claims that this uniform was at home, in accordance with a general permission for the artillery men to wear their uniforms to and from the armory, saving the necessity of a change there.
 Recorder Baber. before whom the cases are set for hearing this week, is himself a National Guarusman. ranking as major in the 2nd Regiment. and is therefore the ranking officer even Of Captain Todd. But the hearing in his court, 1t is explained, will be strictly according to the laws Of the State. of Alabama, for such cases made and pro vided, and will not partake of the na- ture of a court martial.

Andrews Hartford. Parish Magazine:
 A farthing was placed in the offer tory at the 7:30 a. m. celebration on St James day. We are charitable enough to thing that this coin was put in the bag by mistake for half q sovereign.
 If we are wrong in that surmise. and if the farthing was offered with the full knowledge that it was a farth- ing. then we can only characterize this incident, as the most disgraceful that has come under our notice during our ministerial career. and we can only express the fervent hope that, for her own sake. the lady will forthwith make amends for that fragrant insult to the solemn service of the altar.
