THE MOBILE COUNCIL
BODY HAS MEETING AND PASSES
 RESOLUTIONS.
Proposed to pay Representative Hoff- man $500 Causes Discussion- ME. Craft Takes Promi-
 nent Part.

Mobile, Jan. f5.--(Special by Long
 Distance Telephone1--At the meeting
 of the City Council of Mobile tonight.
 John Craft was elected chairman pro
 tenn to take place of Chairman A.
 S r. Lyons, absent as a member of the Legislature.
 The Council adoptetd a report of the
 lighting committee ordering the plac-
 ing of sixty-three lights at various
 points throughout the city. It is pos
 sible under the terms of the new light
 ing contract, which permits the use
 of ninety three lights for the same
 amount of annual cost as the city now
 nays under the old contract and the
 lights will be placed in use under the
 agreement of cancelltng the oid con
 tract ahead of time and to allow the
 new contract to go into effect imme- diately.
 The Mobile. Jackson and Kansas
 City Railroad petitfoned the council TOT
 A reduction in it's lighting account rom
 s75o to s250 which 1t claims to be the legal right according to It's inter pretation of the recently enacted H. cense law. The council on motion of MT. Cratt reduced the license to $500.
 MT. Craft took leading part in the meeting. On his motion the council de- cided to petition the Legislature to amend the law of 1888 and 1889 fixing the fire insurance business license al S250. Under this law the fire insu- rance concerns pay about $s,0o0 year. On motion of MT. Craft the council introduced the Hartwell resolution adopted last Saturday night by the Commercial Club, looking to the intro duction of a bill by Mir. Norvflle to authorize and direct Mobile county to | appropriate $25,000 year for four | years for Mobile harbor improvements
 The Council, on Mr. Crafts motion, adopted 8 resolution notifying the leg lislature of the Councils endorsement of the bill to be introduced at the initia- tive of Councilman Forney of Birming- ham granting that city, permission to tax all franchise granted by 1t. Dr. Harry Inge offered a resolution appropriating $500 to compensate Rep resentative Hoffman for services to the City and to the Finance Committee in framing the refunding bill. There was some discussion as to whether the city had the right to mako such propost- tion especially as Mir Hoffman had act ed voluntarily and was in no way con- nected with the Council in his fath- ering of the bill
 The question of legality, however, seemed to be secondary considera- tion by a direct vote, killed motion to refer the matter to the Finance Committee, and the Mayor, then voted down a motion to table the motion to refer. That left the original motion before the Council, and the Council adjourned with the Original motion
 pending.

DEATH TO SUBSIDY
SENATE MEASURE TURNED DOWN
 BY COMMITTEE.
stormy Session of House Body on Mer- chant Marine--Point of 0r- der Prevents Further Dis-
 cussiOn of Act.

Washington, Jan. 15.--The struggle in the House Committee on Merchant Marine between the advocates ana op- ponents of ship subsidy reached cli- max today. After two hours ot an ln- tense committee session, which began at 10 o'clock, the result recorded was tho defeat of the Senate suosloy plil by vote of to '.
 The Democratic members of the com mittee generally voted for the Senate bill and It's defeat was accomplished by Republican members.
 It was the intention of the Republi- cans to follow the defeat of the Senate bill by a vote in support of the Gros- venor substitute. providing for subsi- dized mail lines to South American ports and for more assistance to the ns-Pacific lines. Before this vote could be taken, however, the hour of noon arrived, and the point of order was raised that the committee was without authority to sit during the ses- sions of the House and that conse- quently any action it might take after F o'clock would be invalid.
 Representative Watson left the conn mittee room immediately and went to the floor of the House, where he was recognized by the Speaker to ask unan- imous consent that the committee might continue it's slttings.
 Representative Patterson (Tenn.) left the room simultaneously with Mir. Wat son and before the latter could secure recognition from the Speaker commit nicated with the minority floor leader. MT Williams, who prevented the unan- imous consent requested by Mir. Wat son. In expressing his opposition. Mir. williams said that If allowed to sit the committee would report a ship sub sidy bill, to which he was opposed. The committee then adjourned until 4 o'clock today. Every member of the committee was present at the meeting except Messrs. McDermott of New Jer- sey and Spight of Mississippi. the for mer on account of illness. and the lat ter because of a business engagement

 INTRODUCED Administration Measures
 Brought Out. PRESENTED BY SEN. 0vERToN Propose Laws Show Great Labor
 in Preparation. Provide for CIassincation of Raiiroads Rate Schedules, Appeals and from Commission--Bewflde
 Array of Tables.

The railroad measures of the new administration. and which were drawn up to embrace the issues of the last campaign, are now before the Legisla- ture.
 The railroad bills endorsed by the administration were yesterday started through the Legislature by way of the Senate.
 They were introduced by Senator John W. Overton. Senator Overton is chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers These bills were drawn up by MT. Conner and his confidential advisers on the rate question. They evidence deep care and thought and a great amount of labor.
 There are four of them, each relat- ing to the rate question. In one. the railroads of Alabama are classified. the classification running from "A to 'H." The Justification Is similar to that of the Georgia law.
 One of the bills goes further and provides the rate schedule which may he enforced on each of the classified railroads. This bill has a bewildering array of tables, fnasmuch as 1t pro- vides the rate for the various hauls and on various classes of railroads. The mere act of copying these tables is a taSh IOT the B6CTctTfdl IOFCo OF tO any other force, for that matter. The bill comes very near accomplishing what was an issue of the campaign, the making of a law made rate.
 One of the measures defines the terms and conditions under which appeals are to be taken from rulings of the Com- mission. This particular bill Is sup posed to prevent court delays in the enforcement of rates made by the Com mission. or rates made by law and op- posed by the railroads.
 |. While there was no bill in the lot providing for reciprocal demurrage, the four measures very nearly epitomize the knowledge of Mir. Conner and his associates on the rate question.
