Rivers and Harbsrs Committee

Alabama is in luck, for Congressman George W. Taylor of the First district is willing to surrender his place on the important appropriations committee, and the prospect is that he will be appointed a member of the rivers and harbors committee, taking the place vacated by the promotion of MT. Bank head to the Senate MT. Taylor has served ten years in Congress, and his knowledge of men and methods in Washington will enable him to take up MT. Bankhead's work, and to carry 1t forward in fine style.
 MT. Taylor lives where the Warrior empties into the Tombigbee, and his district includes Mobile harbor and bay. He is the man Alabama needs on the rivers and harbors committee, and if he secures the assignment he should be kept in it until every Ala bama river is improved to the point of slackwater navigation. AS a member of the rivers and harbors committee he can serve his state as we'll as his district, and the entire Alabama dele gation should give him all possible support in his endeaVOr to secure the place.

sible. but he puts the cost at S4,500, ,000, The distance in straight line from Bessemer to the Warrior is 15A miles, but the Valley river is 3SA miles long between the two points, and the fall is 213 feet
 On page 21 of the Ripley report are presented some facts that do not show great advantages in favor of an ex- tension of the canal to Birmingham or even to Bessemer. For MT. Ripley puts the cost of transportation per ton by rail to Bessemer and by water to Mobile at 49 cents, while the cost by rail to the Warrior and by water to Mobile would be 51 cents ton. The saving on transportation would not justify the expenditure of many mil lions.
 The truth Is, the quick way and the better way to secure water rates in this district is to build double-track independent railroad to the mouth of Valley creek, about 20 miles, and when the Coosa is opened build another double-track line to that riveB The Warrior will be opened to the mouth of Valley creek in about six years, or about the time the Panama canal IS filled with water, and by an expendi- ture of about $1,5O0,000 this district and city can in that critical and pivotal period procure water rates as good as Memphis enjoys today Whereas, 1T we wait until millions more are ex- pended in the canalization of Valley creek to Bessemer we will wait at least five years longer, and at the end of that time we will not have materially better water transportation rates.
 It should be remembered that it will cost $4, 800, 900 to canalize Valley creek to Bessemer, and $4,000000 more to carry the canal to Birmingham, and when s8,500,000 has been expended every plant will still have to load it's products on cars in order to reach the canal. An additional appropriation of $500 ,000 is all we need in order to open the Warrior to the mouth of Valley creek, and then 20 miles of independ- ent rails will give us water rates.

Weston's Arrival In Chicago

Edward Payson Weston, the pedes- trian, who is over 60 years old, com pleted yesterday a walk of 1235 miles. He did the task over muddy roads, through rain and sleet and against keen headwinds. He faced all, includ- ing illness, and he reached Chicago ahead of his own record made 40 years ago. He was warmly welcomed in Chicago, and he well deserved this re- ward.
 For he has shown the country what g temperate life and physical training / enable one to accomplish after the age of three score. On Monday last he walked SS miles. Who else at his age could cover so many miles in single day? He is plucliy, and he has sue ceeded in maintaining vigor and strength in remarkable manner and to an extent perhaps unapproached.
 His long tramp and the example of his life and endurance should bring to the attention of the country the value of walking as method of exercise. It easily outranks rowing, horseback rid ing, golf or any other known form of exercise, for it means outdoor air, mod crate employment of all parts of the body and it can be organized to af- ford daily change of scene and en- vironment. MT. Weston walked from Portland, Me, to Chicago largely be- cause he hopes to revive interest in his favorite exercise, with perhaps some incidental lecture fees to go into = Is own pocket

FINANCIAL RELIEF
 IS NOW DISCUSSED

Washington, November 26.-There were several important developments today in the plans of the treasury department for affording relief to the money market by the issue of new securities. Secretary Cortelyou stated that of the amount paid for the Panama bonds 90 per cent would be deposited with national banks purchas- ing such bonds. All the indications point to a large over-subscription of bonds The belief was confidently expressed at the cabinet meeting today that the loan would be taken several times over and that the announcement of this fact would have a most stimulating effect in restor- ing confidence.
 The bids for the bonds will be received up to 4:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. An important fact relating to the one year treasury certificates is that already the amount allotted approximates S25, 5,0O0,- 000 Of this sum only about $3,500000 has yet been pledged as security for circula- tion, but the certificates are being trans ferred to the custody of the United States treasury almost as rapidly as the banks are notified of their allotments. Already the amount of new bank note circula- tion taken out during November slight ly exceeds s4O.OOO,OOO, which is beyond the estimates of the treasury department three weeks ago.

Diversified Industry.

During the last five years the Bir- mingham district has gained very ma- terially in diversified industries re- marked a man whose business takes him to every part of Jefferson
 Tn the nineties there was little manu- featuring outside of the iron trade. Now we have numerous woodworking indus tries, many manufacturers of brick, and q variety of small concerns, all combining to create large pay rolls. North Birmng- ham is a scene of industrial activity, and inside the limits of the city of Birming- ham are scores of little factories, each employing from dozen to half hundred men. Diversified industry will increase steadily. Birmingham presents an ex- ceptionally fine field for nearly every line of manufacturing enterprise. Nearly everything that is used in the south could be produced here at profit

Distrust Is Dying Out

The merchants association in New York has formally requested the banks of that city to return to cash basis. They seem to think that hoarding on inc part of the banks is as reprehensi- ble as hoarding on the part of indt- viduals, and now that confidence is re- stored and all distrust removed they flo not see why their banks do not accept the Chicago challenge by giving the cue for resumption. Already the premium on currency has fallen so low that gold imports are no longer profit able. and there is really no reason why resumption of cash payments should not simultaneously occur in all the financial centers of the land.
 Resumption is desirable, and it should not be postponed in New York one day longer than is necessary. The big banks should not unduly hesitate. Distrust is wholly dead, and it cannot be revived. All see how foolish the spasm in October was, and no prob able event can bring it back. It has gone to stay gone, and the northern banks should have the courage to get back to cash basis, and that, too, sneedilY

POINTS FOR WALSH.
Judqe Anderson Again Rules Favor
 ably to the Banker.

Chicago, November 26.-An attempt on the part of the prosecution to force the presentation in court of the private books of John R. Walsh, on trial for alleged misapplication of the funds of the Chi cago National bank. was frustrated by ar adverse decision by Judge Anderson to- day. The court held that an order re- quiring that the books be produced would amount to forcing the defendant to tes' tify against himself. The points were raised in today's proceedings when B. B Mckay, former private secretary to the banker, was told by Attorney Dobyns acting for the government. to turn to certain records said to be copies of Walshs private accounts.
 Attorney John s. Miller, chief counsel for the defense, at once objected and the argument and decision followed.

THE BRYAN MOVEMENT.

From the Mobile Register
 The movement starred in Birmingham to forward the nomination of MT. Bryan at the national convention bears out what was said when the Bryan announce ment was made that a majority of dem- ocrats believe in the Nebraskan, and will vote for him again if given the op. portunity. Alabama, as the first state in the list, will be watched with interest and the position taken by Birmingham democrats, believing that Mir. Bryan can get more votes than any other man coupled with knowledge of the extent ol the Bryan sentiment throughout the state leads to the opinion that when the first state name is called before the conven- tion Alabama will place in nodnination the man who can get the votes.

WESTON WILL BEAT
 FORTY YEAR RECORD

Chicago, November 26.-Edward Pay son Weston crossed the south ern city limits of Chicago shortly before II o'clock tonight. He was then nearly 12 miles from the Chicago Beach hotel, where he will rest before completing the final lap of his record d-breaking walk from Portland, Me-, to Chicago. Sandy roads and misdirections from the sand wastes south of Hammond, Ind, delayed the aged pedestrian and prevented him from completing his days jaunt at midnight as he had planned.
 It is now thought that Weston will reach the Chicago Beach hotel, which is nearly seven miles from the post office, about 2 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. His intention is to rest and ob- tain long sleep so that he may reach the postoffice about noon tomorrow. By doing this he will lower his record of 40 years ago by "A hours.

Water Rates for Bjrminuham

Through the kindness of Congress- man Underwood The Age-Herald has received a copy of the famous Ripley report made in 1S9S,' and now we'll nigh out of print and inaccessible. The report covers AS closely printed pages besides map showing every lock and every feature of the proposed channel feet deep and 50 feet wide from the Warrior river to Ressemer by the way of Valley river, and thence up 'Possum valley past Birmingham to reservoir site on Five-Mile creek. It is full of facts and figures, and Engineer Rip, ley's conclusion is that the proposed waterway channel is feasible; that the water supply to Bessemer is sufficient, and that an expenditure of $3,750. 900 for canalizingf Valley creek to Besse- mer lis fully warranted by the assured and prospective shipments from the , district. The betterment of these facilities will be far-reaching in the economies of the United States" MT. Ripley did not report in favor of any extension beyond Bessemer, the water supply being insufficient and the pro- posed expenditure unwarranted.
 But the report of District Engineer Ripley was not confirmed by Division Engineer Hains, who held that the Warrior should be improved and opened before any money was ex- pended on Valley river, tributary. Major Rossell considers the canaliza- tion of Valley river to Bessemer fea.
