MR. CAREER WANTS.
 A SPEEDY TRIAL Would Test Validity of Early
 Closing Law NEWS OF THE CAPITOL Governor Conner, After Part of Yester- day Spent In Montgomery, Comes To Birmingham For Sunday.
 Has Good Hunt.
NEWS OF THE CAPITOL

Montgomery, December 2S.-(Spe- cial)-Attorney General A. M. Garber advises that the question of the yalidi- ty of the early saloon closing law be determined by the courts in the speed fest way. It is one of those cases where the state has the right )f ap- peal in case it loses, and he thinks the safest thing for all will be to take it direct to the courts for settlement. This may be done by warrant for viola tions. The defendant can be taken be- fore judge, the offense being mis- demeanor. and if the decision is ad- verse appeal may be taken and the supreme court will no doubt pass on it at once.
 MT. Garber would be glad to give an opinion on the validity of the act, but has not the time, with the railroad cases pressing him. To get a brief worked out even in his head would re- quire several days time, and he can not stop now. He is always willing to give aid in matters of this kind, but whatever he might say would have no real weight for it is not a law in which the opinion of the attorney general is binding until ruled on by the courts. Some acts are. In these his opinion would protect pending a decision, but in the early closing law it would not.

 On the chimney I saw a wooden bow in which were two bracelets and four rings, one being ornamented with a miniature of the Empress. Many photo : graphs were about, those of his sons, of King Edward and the Car Nicho- las II.
 But this room serves chiefly as a dressing room. as his majesty sleeps in an adjoining room. This second room, simpler even than the former, con- tains a bed of copper covered with 8 counterpane embroidered in silk that once belonged to Marie Antoinette. On the night table by the bedside was a regulation army revolver in doeskin cover.
 On the chest of drawers were still more protographs-those of the Empress and his daughters-in n-law. Immediate ly after this bedroom comes the last of his majesty's private rooms, his workroom. l only had time to catch a glimpse of a desk filtered with letters, printed matter, etc. More ph hotographs lay about and more books, amang them the recently published Letters or
 
 Lots of pens were scattered about the desk, all goosequills, as the Elm peror uses nothing else. He uses fine sand to dry his ink, never plotting pa- per.
 When the Emperor is in one of his private rooms no one Is allowed to approach him but the four servants at tached to his person. At night faith ful guard placed at his door forbids entry to any one.
 As I passed through the park to go away I heard the purring of an auto and my guide said:
 Do you see that auto? Last Wednes- day 1t disturbed the Emperor consider ably. He was just returning from shooting expedition and as he put his foot on the step to get out loud ex- plosion occurred in the motor. William II turned slightly pale, but the engineer in charge of the imperial autos quick ly reassured him. Then the Kaiser smiled and said: Never mind, so long as it is in the past.

500 For Three Faces.

Who's the most beautiful woman in
Michigan The Detroit News Tribune
is trying to discover her, and is offering
prizes aggregating 800 for three fasci-
mating faces, to be selected from photo
graphs sent in to the beauty editor.
The selecting will be done by corps Of
experts, and their pictures will appear,
with others. in the half. tone magazine
section of that newspaper. The whole
will form great gallery of Michigan
beauties.
; This Michigan contest started from
bet. Only the bet did not refer to
Michigan, but to Chicago. A Chicago
man bet an eastern man 5000 that he
would show Chicago beauty that
couldn't be equaled by the eastern fell
low. But to win it was necessary to
collect photographs by the thousands,
and 80 the Chicago Tribune was Undue
ed to solicit the photos. From some
thing over 5000 sent in the prize beauty
was picked out
But the Chicago newspaper wasn't
content with winning. 1t presumptu-
ously insisted that this beauty was 1.-The
pr,.,t beautiful woman in America.
This is denied by Michigan, as well as
by other sections of the country, and
now the Detroit News-Tribune publish
es requests for photographs of beautiful
women, in order to select at least three
to set against the Chicago prize beauties,
the chief one of which is a working girl,
a stenographer, earning s12 week.
The pictures of these Michigan
beauties the News-Tribune will publish
from week to week. and as every woman
in Michigan is eligible, the list will be
a long one, if the friends of the beauties
do their duty.

SOCIOLOGICAL
The Famine In Russia.

The political unrest and revolution
airy outbreaks in Russia have occupied
so large n place in the news from that
country that probably but few of the
American people realize the terrible
conditions of famine which prevail
over an area said to be more than half
as large as that Of the United States.
These conditions are being brought to
the attention of the people Of this
country at the present time through
the activity of the Russian philanthro-
pist Nicolas ShishkOff, who has recent
ly come here for the purpose of arous-
ing interest and securing relief for his
suffering compatriots.
To assist in this work q Russian
famine relief committee has been or
ganized in New York, with Bishop
Henry G. Potter as president Samuel
J. Barrows secretary and the Morton
Trust company treasurer. The eXecu-
tive committee includes r. Fulton Cut
ting, George Foster Peabody, Isaac \.
Seligman, Marcellus Hartley Dodge
and q number of other well known
business and professional men. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has evinced his interest
in the movement by sending his check
for 500, together with q letter warmly
commencing the work and expressing
the feeling that the American people
should be interested in it not only
from the general promptings of COM
passion, but that they should feel an
especial sympathy because of the fact
that Russia has been good friend to
America in the past. Mr.. Shishkoff
says that the Russian government had
raised the sum Of 100000 rubles and
Is now raising a loan of 100000
more for relief purposes, but even
these immense sums will be wholly
inadequate for the succOr of all the
distressed in the famine district unless
largely supplemented by outside help.
He says that In most OF the villages
free kitchens have been established,
where the destitute peasants can get q
bowl of hot soup and piece of black
bread once every twcnty-four hours.
Eight dollars will keep an adult alive
until the next harvest. and S. will help
n child.

no attack Is made on the church and
that they bring suit as next friends"

er. Former United States Senator
William e. Chandler appears as senior
counsel for the plaintiffs. The rela-
tives claim that they have long been
prevented from seeing Mrs. Eddy by
her advisers, except once, recently,
when Mr.. Glover managed to have an
interview with her and was satisfied
she could not manage her affairs.
Senator Chandler later charged that
Mrs. Eddy's name and the church had
been syndicated by the defendants as
a business venture.
