FINLEY SPEAKS AT
 ANNUAL BANQUET
SOUTHERN OFFICIAL DECLARES THAT RAILROADS MUST KEEP ENTIRELY FREE FROM POLL. TICS.

Charlotte, N. C., November 15.-The proper attitude of public service corpor- ations towards politics was the subject of an address by President w. w. Fin ley of the Southern Railway company, at the annual banquet of the Greater Charlotte club tonight. He declared that participation of corporations in political affairs is not Justified and advocated their complete abstinence from activity. MT. Finley insisted, however, on the preservation to these corporations of all their rights and expressed himself in favor of leaving their participation in public matters to the field of fair treat ment, protest and argument. President Finley advocated the application of eco- homie principles in the regulation of railroads, and declared that the railroad official who believes as he does, that the property interests entrusted to his care should be made the object of regulation, based on economic and business prin- ciples, must see to 1t that 1t is conducted upon those principles.

 FOR MRS. BRADLEY

---~--------->---~~-->-> police station No 1. where Mrs. Bradley was taken immediately after the tragedy. She told of visit to the prisoner by United States Senator Suth erland, whose conversation was not heard by the witness, and also of a visit by Detective Grant of the local police force. She said she had heard the detective tell Mrs. Bradley that anything sne might say would be used against her. Mrs. Bradley had freely consented to talk and no difficulty had been expressed by the detective in pro- curing a statement from her Lieuten- ant Hartley of the police force cor roborated Mrs. Thornborg's testimony concerning the visit of MT. Grant and his warning, but he said that Mrs. Bradley had told tie detective she did not wish to make statement.
 Detective Grant was called to the stand, but before he could proceed Mr. Hoover made objection on the ground that Mrs. Bradey's statement to the detective was not voluntary and there fore not admissible. Judge Stafford decided. however, that it was proper and Grant proceeded. He said: Mrs. Bradley told me she was companion of Mir. Brown that she had lived with him for a long time, and had children by him. I asked her how she came to shoot him. but she would not answer that. She said she had not acted on impulse but had thought over the deed for a long time and had made up her mind that if MT. Brown did not do right by her, she was going to kill him."
 Lambs Testimony.
 Policeman Lamb also testified that Mrs. Bradley had told him that she had had the revolver a long time and had brought 1t with her to Washington. He said that

 reasons First. it will get rid of the present injunction. Next, splitting it up into eight separate bills, if one or more should be held to be too low, the others might still stand. We think it well to get rid of this injunction and possibly if litigation must be had, that the new litigation will proceed with less friction, for believe that in the present situation of the case the thing now uppermost in the mind of the judge of the federal court is to show to the people that the federal court could dominate the situation and to vindicate what the judge regards as the dignity and power of his court and his own ability to command the situation. and that the merits of this litigation have ,nder these conditions become second- ary matter and the result will more prob ably depend on the ideas of the dignity and power and respect for the federal court than on the merits of the pending suits.
 That these injunctions were improvi- dently granted is manifested when 1t is considered that the legislature is vested with the discretion of determining what is reasonable That the 106 members of the house B members of the senate and the goyeruor have all sworn to support the constitution, and would not have support ed these bills had they believed them un- constitutional. The court had no right to enjoin them unless they were unconsti- tutional The bill is verified by the affi- dayit of one man, which is necessarily his conclusion upon facts, and the court takes this conclusion of the one witness as more effective than the judgment of the membership of the two houses of the Legislature and of the governor, notwith- standing the people in two campaigns in which the Georgia rates were discussed and asserted by the railroads to be unjust i have declared in favor of the Georgia rskas.

 Rate Must Be Just.
 Technically speaking. any rate, unless exactly just Is confiscatory. If too low 1t confiscates the property of the rail- road, if too high the property of the ship per It is a nice question to protect the respective properties against such confis- cation, bearing in mind that the presump- ton is in favor of the law-made rate and not in favor of the railroad-made rate. The chances are much greater that the property of the shipper will be confls- cated under the railroad-made rate than that the propert of the railroad will be confiscated under the law-made rate. In providing a method for contesting the rates a bond was provided to be given with conditions which would protect the shipper. This bond the federal court failed to require. but substituted bond the conditions of which are such that as a practical proposition 1t is no protection to the average shipper or passenger. it is mere theoretical protection. We are undertaking to frame the provisions for bond in this scheme of legislation so that any future injunction will have to pro- vide a bond with conditions under which the road itself must preserve the evil  dence of such excess charges as 1t may collect. c
 Penalties operate only against the violators of the law. It does not lie fin the mouth of the violator to com plain of the severeness of the means used to compel obedience. Without malice and with the kindest of feel ings. yet with a firmness that at tempts and will compel obedience these hills that have penalties are being pushed. If they do not compel com pliance, I stand ready to come to another compliance. Our constitution expressly commands the fixing of pen alties which will compel the enforce ment of reasonable rates established by the legislature.

SCHUMANN N-HEINK WINS NEW LAURELS Brilliant Audience Hears Con-
 cert At Jefferson FIRST APPEARANCE HERE The Great contrslto Combines Ainiest Every Separate Quality Possessed
 By Any Two or Three Other
 Famous Artists.

Madame Echumann.Heink gave q song recital at the Jefferson theatre last night in the prnsenee of Il large and brilliant audience. It was her first appearance in Birmingham and no musical artist, perhaps, ever received such an ovation hero. Nearly all the great singers had been heard in this city except 5ehumann- Heink but 1t was generally agreed after the concert that she was the greatest of them all Certain 1t Is that no ono in recital ever held the interest of q Bir- mingham audience as she did. A one- man or a one-won1an song recital is apt to become tiresome, no matter how cap- tivating the artist may be. With Schu- mann-Heink we have a marked excep- tion. She had 20 pieces on her programme and she sang four times in response to enthusiastic applause. Her bill follows;
 Aria from the opera "Mitrane," (sung in Italian), Rossi C66s)
 "Du bist die Ruh," "Wohin," Der Wanderer," Franz Schubert.
 "Waltrauten." scene, act l, third scene from opera "Gotterdammerung," Richard Wagner.
 Recitative and Aria "Adriano." from the opera "Rienzi," Richard Wagner
 Die Dret Zigeuner," (the three Gyp- sles). Lsat
 Six Hungarian Gypsy Songs: (Cycle) ''Ho There, Gypsy" High and Tower ing Stream" Know Ye When My Loved" Loving God, Thou Knowest" Art Thou Thinking Often Now" "Rosebuds Three" Brahms.
 Six Songs (sung in English)-"The Ros- ary," Nevtn; 70, Let Night Speak of Me-" Chadwick; "Danza," Chadwick; Many Beauteous Flower" Ella M. Smith Lullaby" Carrie J. Bond; Love in d Cottage" Gang.
 Prison scene from the opera Prophet (sung in French, Meyerbeer.
 After the Schubert songs Madame Schu- mann -Heink responded to an encore by singing the aria, For the Lord Is Mind ful of His Own." from Mendelssohn's or atorio. "Elijah."
 Other encore numbers were Love in a. Cottage" (repeated), the familiar waltz drinking song, from Donzettfs "Lucretia Borgia," and after the programme was concluded, ''The Rosary was repeated by request.

Queen of Concert Staqe.

As an opera star Schumann- Heink has ranked at the top for several years past, and her artistic methods and her wonder ful versatility have made her easily the queen of the concert stage. She combines almost every separate quality that any two or three other of the famous sing CTS possess. Her voice, contralto of phe. nomenal range, is rich, velvety and full of tone color. Her temperament Is per feet. and it goes without saying that her vocalization and her information arc like wise perfect. Her dramatic fire, her in- tellectual breadth and her large human sympathy make 1t easy for her to inter- pret master works, while her fine sense of humor and her exquisite tenderness readily account for the beauty with which she renders the smaller songs.
 But after all, it Is Schumann- H eink' 8 versatality that differentiates her work from other great artists. From grave to gay, from opera to oratorio from the old school to the most modern, this gifted woman glides with rare facility. Everything she rendered last night was a. revelation. Who ever heard Schubert songs sung so beautifully? Was the aria. "The Lord is Mindful" ever delivered with deeper feeling or more moving ef- feet? Was Wagner ever interpreted more distinctively in the Wagnerian spirit?
 Listz Song Gem.
 The liszt song was one of the gems of the programme and not many artists could equal Schumann- Heinks in singing it; none could surpass her. Brahms, the successor of Beethoven, has few correct interpreters, even in his short compost tons but the prma donna last night had read into the spirit of his songs and gave them with all the skill and imaginative colorng the most exacting critic could have demanded.
 The last number on the programme was a fitting finale to the most delightful musical event of the season. When schumannHeink comes to Birmingham the next time she will be greeted not only by a large house but an audience that will pack the theatre from par quette to the last row in the gallery.

dent of Steel Corporations
Mines Says No Men Have
Been Discharged.

Among the visitors in the city at
the present time is NJ. S. Hawkins,
general superintendent of the Iron
Mountain division of the United Steel
CorDoration's great iron mines in Min
nesota. After spending few days
here visiting friends and inspecting
the workings of the local mines, Mr..
Hawkins, who is taking a few weeks
rest for the benefit of his health, viii
probably go on to California ard viii
later return to his headquarters in Du-
luth.
When asked concerning the iron
mining industry and conditions in gen
eral in that section OF the country, MIR.
Hawkins said:
In spite of the general depression
throughout the country there nas
been no curtailment of the forces at
work in the iron mines yet, aithougt4
it is impossible to state what policy
win be pursued if the depression is
long continued. So far as the finan-
cial situation is concerned it is very
much the same as it is here, and in
every other portion of the country.
The various banks are operating on a
clearing house basis and money is
very tight"
In speaking of the iron mining in
dustry as compared with copper min
ing, Mr. Hawkins remarked the enor-
NOUS tonnage mined in the immense
cuts in the mountains of iron where
one train of freight cars after another
is hauled into the cut and loaded,
pulling out at the other end. Being a
mining man he is deeply interested in
local mining which is so different from
that to which he has been accustomed.
He visited the various Calumet & Ari-
iona and Superior & Pittsburg prop
critics, being impressed with the mod
ern machinery and equipment in use
at all of them
This is Mr.. Hawkins first visit to
Arizona and he expressed himself as
being very pleasantly surprised with
conditions as he finds them.

MEMBERSHIP IN
CONGRESS CHANGES
Some Big Men Gone and Many
Od-TimerS VIII Be
Absent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. s.
When the sixtieth congress assemblies
next month there will be much about
If strange to those who have long
been familiar with the personnel OF
past congresses.
In the house the democrats have
lost their senior member in point OF
service, ]. H. Bankhead of Alabama,
who was defeated for denomination
by Richard Pearson Hobson, the hero
of the Merrimac. The party is not
TO lose the services of Mr.. Bankhead
however, for he takes me stat IN the
United States senate made vacant by
the death of the venerable Senator
Edmund W. Pettus.
Probably the most conspicuous loss
on the republican side OF the house
is General Grosvenor of Ohio, whose
patriarchial and venerable appearance
has for years focused the attention of
the galleries, and whose wit-and dis
position to banter have many time
made the hall ring with laughter
when the situation has been so tense
as to seem as If nothing but bitter
passion could find expression.
Another picturesque figure has dis
appeared with the retirement of Hon.
Joseph C. Sibley of the Franklin. Pa.
district, who served ten years in the
house. He was elected to the fifty
third congress as a democrat and
again to the fifty-sixth congress, after
narrowly escaping nomination as vice
president on the Bryan ticket.
Another old-timer who viii be
missed is James w. Wadsworth of the
thirty-fouFth district of New York, de-
feated by Peter A. Porter, demo
crat. Mr.. Wadsworth served about
eighteen years in the house and was
chiefly conspicuous on account OF his
important work as chairman OF the
committee on agriculture
Other members of the house who
will be missed when the sixtieth con-
gress assemblies are Bowie of Ala
bana, Smith, Trimble and Gilbert OF
Kentucky, Robertson of Louisiana,
McNary and Sullivan of Massachu
sets, Hunt of Missouri, Van Duzer Of
Nevada, McDermott of New Jersey,
Hearst, Towne and Rupert of New
York, Patterson and Gudger of North

were renoninated but failed to Sc

leaders as Babcoek of Wisconsin, La

lima, McCleary OF Minnesota and Fred

In the senate the changes viii be
even more noticeable than in the
house. Death has removed from the
ranks the two oldest members OF
that body, Pettus and Morgan Of Ala
bama. whose places will be taken by
former Congressman Bankhead and

Charged With Stealing Rings,
Halls From Cananea-
Two Recovered.

A 17-year-old girl named Fay Duger,
who is from Cananea, is locked up
with the charge facing her of having
stolen three rings.
About a week ago, the girl, whose
parents live in Cananea and formerly
residents of this city, came to Bisbee,
and registered at the Angus hotel,
asking that she be allowed to work
about the house until she could secure
a position elsewhere, which would not
be long. This she was allowed to do.
but a few days after her arrival, Mrs.

missed three rings two of which had
diamond sets and were valued at $40
and S35. The other was set with an
opal.
The girl was suspected of having
made away with them, but upon being
questioned stoutly denied that she
knew anything of their whereabouts.
This did not convince the officers how
ever, and a thorough search OF her
room was made, with the result that
two of the rings were found under
the bed. 1t is not known what has
become of the other. The girl was ar
rested and is now in the branch county
