CONFERENCE ENDS

 HIBITION QUESTION.
Ministers Favor Placing the Serving of Drinks on the Same Plan as the serving of
 Food.


 Pensacola. Fla, Aug s1.--(speciai)-- After a session of three days, the Gulf States Conference Of the German L1- theran Church adjourned today, and most of the pastors end teachers who had been in attendance departed for their homes The conference was a very enthusiastic one, and resulted in much good Several very interesting papers were read by delegates from Alabama and Florida.
 One of the chief features of interest to be discussed during the conference was the prohibition question. The conference passed resolutions on this matter, not favoring prohibition, but favering restrictions and limiting the drinking to restaurants. tn other words, the ministers favored placing the of drinks upon the same plane as the serving of drinks upon the same plane as the serving of food. and be- iievs that 1t should not be served ex- cept in restaurants, and that there should be no change in the appearance of the restaurants.
 Tn other words. the bar should ap- pear as the kitchen, and parties desfr- ing drinks should be compelled to take seats as in restaurant. aHd 1ave their drinks served as they would 2 ulesl.
 By this means, they believe that the traffic would be so regulated that many of it's bad features would be obiiter- ated.

clouds of even the 'lightest variety, ex- cept during the afternoon, and then not enough of them gathered to ap- preciably relieve the intensity of the weather.
 Only one other day this summer has in any way approached the heat of yes terday This was on July 21, when the thermometer reached a maximum of 9T.s. The maximum of 9S1 was registered by the Government ther- mometer at o'clock yesterday after noon.
 According to reports received by the weather bureau Saturday, the av- craze maximum temperature for ten stations in the district Friday was s7.
 The most harassing feature of the weather conditions is that Section Di- rectlon Chaffee can promise no imme- diate relief from the oppressiveness. He cannot even predict so much as a shower, without question as to q storm, a cyclone or a hurricane. Weather conditions are such now that the bureau can't see any rain in sight and the dryness, prevalent gince July 26, is likely to last indefinitely unless some atmospheric disturbances are stirred up.

Not even those who are least dis posed to talking about the weather will deny that yesterday was scorch- ing hot day. It was not only hot, but 1t was a record breaker for 1907.
 With the thermometer tipping the scale at fraction more than 9S de- grees, yesterday was easily the hot test day experienced by Montgomery this summer. With a dry spell all most equivalent to a drought prevail ing over this section, and the suns rays beating down with renewed vigor, Montgomery's inhabitants suffered in- tensely from the heat.
 Only slight breeze, perceptible in shady spots, tended to help cool off the blazing atmosphere. Soda foun- tains and all kinds of vendors of cool ing quaffs did land office business. Electric fans were in demand and only those who were compelled to go, ven- tured under the beating rays of Old Sol.
 Everything yesterday except the occasional zephyr. contributed to make 1t the hottest yet. Even the clouds turned their backs on Montgomery. The sky was practically devoid of

 Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 1.--lSpecial.) )-- The tax levy laws of Florida, insofar as they relate to the School Board ap- portionment, are being tested by Es- cambiR County, and much interest is being manifested in thIs section as to the outcome.
 The case was presented to Judge Wolfe of the Circuit Court this morn ing. when the School Board brought action against the County Commits sIoners to compel that body to levy q 7-miil tax for school purposes. Judge Wolfe ruled against the School Board and the latter has now carried the case to the Supreme Court for de- cision.
 The former laws relating to tax levies gave the School Boards of the various counties the authority to place q levy not exceedingly mills, and to notify the County Commissioners Of this action The latter had no aiterna- tive but to make levy of this amount for school purposes, but the last Leg isIature changed the law somewhat and placed all of the authority la the hands of the commissioners.
