tive Jan. l. l909-Dramaic Scin in -.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov 20.-The
senate by vote Of 32 to yesterday
passed the bill which puts Alabama
in the prohibition list Dec 81. 1908.
This action was taken despite siren
uous efforts of Mobile women to save
the saloons for a time. The threat of
the Home Rulers of Mobile to So
cede from the state if deprived of
their liquor was also treated with con-
tempt.
The: scene in the senate chamber
was an exciting one. Its equal has
not. been witnessed since the days
when the confederate congress held
its sessions in the same hall.
Hundreds of women from all over
the state thronged the gallery. White
ribbons fiuttered everywhere. School
children wearing the w c. T. u.
badge crowded the corridors and
pleaded with the lawmakers as they
entered the chamber.
Dramatic Scene in senate.
When the bill was called up Senator
Hamburger from the Mobile district

from M. J. McDermott. president oi
the Bank of Mobile and head of the
Home Rulers of that city. 1t wa.

the senators rose to their feet and

Why Mobile Fought Bill.
The resistance TO the measure by
the Mobile people arose from the fact
that the schools of that city are sup

SEVERAL QUESTIONS RAISED
Believed Government will Be Inclined

in Bank Reserves.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Small losses
We're more numerous than gains as
shown by tR first prices of stocks to-
day. but the gains included some of
the most important market leaders.
Discussed by Cabinet.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Communica-
tions which came to the treasury de-
partment yesterday approving the fl
nancial policy adopted by the president
and Secretary Cortelyou and subscrip-
tions received for the Panama bonds
and one-year certificates were the sub.
ject of discussion at meeting of the
cabinet and afforded general gratili-
cation. While details regarding the
subscriptions have not vet been made
public, it seems to be the feeling at
The treasury that both loans will be
over-subscribed.
Certificates in Reserves.
Several important questions are be,
ing raised i'll the communications ad-
dressed TO the treasury. One of these
questions upon which no official infor-
nation has been given, is whether the
new one-year certificates will be
available for bank reserves. The law
on the subject seems sufficiently clear
that they are not available for this
purpose. but it is possible the pres
ence of a few of them in reserves un-
der present critical conditions would
be winked at. Just as in the case OF
clearing house certificates.
No. Under the Law.
1t is prescribed by section 5191 OF
the revised statutes that banking, re-
serves shall be lin lawful money OF
the United States This can only
mean gold and silver coin. coin certi
ficates and legal tender notes. The law
does not even permit bank notes
which circulate as currency. to be
counted as reserves, although small
amounts are occasionally included in
the same package with lawful money

Denunciations
OR BLIGHT WILL RESULT
Railroads Need $3.50, ,ooo, 600 a Year,
Which the People Must Furnish
or Suffer.

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 20.-There
was a skeleton at the feast of the Com
mercial club last night when the mem
bers gathered for their 18th annual
banquet James J. Hill, head of the
Great Northern railway, pointed out
the specter of dasolation and ruin
which he said is ready 10 stalk
through the country unless men in
.hish places" quit tearing the fabric of
credit by ''denOuncing all corpora
tiohs'
Some of the corporations especially
railroads, said Mr.. Hill, were public
benefactors and should not be classed
among evil doers. The work of the
railroads should not be stopped by
lack of confidence ON the part of the
investing public AS soon as the peo-
pie get frightened. according to Mr..
Hill. they quit buying railroad securi-
ties, thus keeping money out of the
reach of the carriers. whose policy, lie
declared, was TO use the peoples mon
ey for the benefit of the people.
People Must Pay for Lines
Mr.. Hill said American railroads
carry passengers and freight cheaper
than those of any other country and
| paid more returns on their capitaliZa-
ton. But the country, he said, needed
tmore avenues of commerce'-about
| 81 $50, ,000, ,00C worth year-and unless
| the people put up the money they
could not get the extensions of rail
| lines, which, he said, would do more
for the country than anything else.
The man who built the Great North.
ern line said the railroad men of this
country had right to be proud of
their record and to resent the criti-
cism of them based on nanght but ig-
norancc
| Many states Offend.
Confscatory legislation. Mr.. Hill
said. existed in 10 recent enactments
by more than 20 states. The conse.
IQuence of these laws TO the railroads
and through them to the price of the
things we eat and wear. has made the
whole nation shiver.'
| Regulation of -earrieFs.-said Mr. Hill
was proper and right. provided it was
of the right kind The rights of the
lcarriers. he asserted, must be respect
led and their existence must not be
ijeopardized through legislative folly
In closing his speech. Mr.. Hill said
Before we again realize a favorina
disposition to invest there must be d
different temper, larger view of jus
tice, a better appreciation of what the
railroads of the United States have
done and are doing. as comps ed with
those of the rest of the world, and q
settled policy of fair and reasonable
liberal treatment, and protection fol
the future.
