HERVEY WANTS IT
MOBILE MAN AFTER GAY-TEAGUE
 HOSTLERY.
Controls Several Hotels in South and is Destroys of Obtaining Lease
 on Montgomery's Ne~ Homae.

Charles B. Hervey. the expert hotel man of Mobile. who manages the sumptuous Cawthon and the Bienvilie hotels in the Gulf City. was In Mont- gomery yesterday looking to secure lease on the handsome ten-story mo- tel to be erected by the Gay-Teague Realty Company, corner or Coihherce and l3ibb Streets.
 MT. Hervey was in conference wlC' Mayor Teague but no definite arrange ments were made. The hotel manager admitted the purpose of his visit to Montgomery. He was accompanied by H, c. Oury. manager of the Hammel Dry Goods Company, of Mobile, which firm fitted up the Cawthon.
 "Tbere is no secret that I am here endeavoring to secure the lease on the new hotel" Said Mir. Hervey, T will say that as yet we have reached no definite agreement and no final ar- rAngements have been made"
 The fact that the Mobile hotel man is figuring on leasing the new hotei means that the Gay-Teague hostlery may be under the control or one or the best managers in the South. He Is Vice President of the Hervey Ho- tel Company. which manages hostelries in Mobile, Houston. Texas. and waco Texas.
 If would like to have Montgomery in my chain of hotels" continued MT. Hervey, as he grew more talkative' "and I hope to agree on terms with MT. Teague.
 MT. Oury wanted to see Montgom- cry, so I brought him over here 10 show 1t to him."
 The Gay-Teague hotel will be one n Ei the most modern in the State. It VIII be constructed of red brick with terra cotta trimmings. appropriately orna- nented and with ell the conveniences and accessories of modern times. II will be fire proof and of steel construc- tion.

 Nashville, Tenn, August 9-Governor Patterson has issued a call for a con ference of textile manufacturers and labor representatives to be held oc- tober 14. The call Is as follows:
 By virtue of the authority in me vested by a. joint resolution of the Tennessee Legislature. aT@,roved and signed by me March II. 1907. hereby call a meeting and conference of the representatives of all textile manufac- turing interests and the representa-
 tives of all lab organizations and others interested in this movement
 States, to meet in the city of Nashville on October IA. 1907. there to consider the question of child and female labor in shops and factories, with view of adopting uniform laws that will be agreeable and just to the respective parties in interest
 'The importance of this meeting is self evident. In the uplift and eleva- i tion of civilized nations, the care and i protection of women and children are questions that have been paramount.
 The abIest statemen, publicists, philan- thropists. and thinking people general ly are addressing themselves assidu- ously to an adjustment of these mat
 ters, and ] urge upon all textile in- terests, and especially. upon an labor organizations, to choose and send dele gates of conservatism. probity ability and discretion, who will meet and give serious thought to the questions mem | tioned, and take such actions as may commend itself to their good judg- ment"

banquet were not present at the after- noon session, but enough were there to convert the session into the likeness of a mob. The Speaker lost control ana all of the time was spent in glins about matters which no one seemed to understand. Time after time. the members were cautioned by the Spes k- CT and forced to their seats only to remain until some motion was before the House. when nearly every one would apparently try to take charge of the clerks desk. and indulge Tn cat calls and cries to standing members to take their seats. It was no uncommon occurrence for a member to term the body by such names as a orunkeh mob" "howlinG idiots, and the nne;
 The result was that only two Diils were put through at the afternoon ses- sion when many measures were wat ing a last chance upon the caienoar :. Many of the sober members lelt tne House in disgust when they found that the temper of many others was such IS to pay little attention to decorum Mir Hoffmans resolution endorsing g the Governor and the action of the Legislature were read at the atterhooh session.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-08-10

The city department of The Adver- tiser on Wednesday night decided to handle with care and conservatism the unusual and boisterous scenes of We'd nesday afternoon in the House. The scenes. were so remarkable that those who witnessed them will not soon for get them, but in view of The Adver- tiser's well known opposition to many of the policies of the Legislature, 1t was decided In conference to treat the members more fairly in the report of the day than If they had been po- litical friends of The Advertiser.
 So in the report of the scenes which followed the banquet at the Exchange Hotel and the closing sessions of the Legislature, only what was said on the floor was quoted and the legislative reporters purposely refrained from de- scribing those scenes and incidents which formed the chief subject of dis cussion in Montgomery during the closing hours of the Legislature.
 The special correspondent of The Mobilt Register, however. wrote ex- actly what he saw. and here Is what one out of town paper, The Register. through its legislative correspondent. a member of Its home staff. had to say of the last afternoon of the ses- sion of 1907:
 The good record that this Legislature has made as a temperance body was lost this afternoon. when the session of the lower House was so boisterous and hilarious as to cause number of the more sober members to designate 1t as "howling. drunken body"
 Whether the designation of these members be too strong or not. 1t Is sure that no other session of any Leg islature within the last quarter of 8 ho marked hV SuCh dis graceful scenes of disorder, and this upon the last day of the session when many matters of great importance must be disposed of or die upon the calendars The trouble all came from the banquet that was rendered the Leg islature by Senator Joseph F. John ston.
 Early in the morning session sn- nouncement was made that the Sena- tor would give a banquet to members of the Legislature at o'clock, and in accepting this invitation, the Legisla- ture decided to recess from 1 o'clock until 4 The banquet was restricted to members of the Legislature, Gov ernor Conner, Senator Bankhead and Col. E.. L. Russell.
 An invitation to the press was over looked until the banqueters had been seated, and the newspaper men then politely declined to attend.
 It is pronounced by persons who at tended that the banquet was most successful affair, and that Senator John ston and Colonel Russell were particu- larly happy in their remarks Ger tainIy they were the toasts of the members after the adjournment of the banquet when all of those in attend ance seemed in exceeding good humor. There were gentle hints that cold water" was permitted on the banquet table and scenes following adjourn ment are best left unpictured.

DEATH OF MRS. CRUTCHER.

Aged Mother of Thomas Cruteher
 Passes Away I'm Kentucky.
 The friends of Mir. Thomas Crutcher, who for many years was connected with the Atlantic Coast Line freight of6ce in this city, will be pained to hear of the death of his aged mother, Mrs. David Crutcher which occurred aft the home of her son in Rowletts' Ky, on the 9th inst.
 Mrs. Crutcher resided in Montgom- cry for a number of years and by her gentle and refined nature gathered about her many friends who cherish her memory with the fondest recollection.
 About eighteen months ago her health began to fail her and she re- turned to her old home in Kentucky where she passed away yesterday. sur rounded by her loved ones.

Int failure of the House of Repre-
 sentatives to pass the Senate bill for an
 appropriation of $15,0oO for a suitable statue of the late Senator Morgan, to be placed in Statuary Hall, Washing ton. D. C., IS a keen disappointment to all friends and admirers of the distin- guished statesman. The bill passed the senate with enthusiasm and unanimity. It was expected that, no matter what other appropriations might fail to carry, this particular measure would receive the undivided support of the Appropriations Commit tee. When the bill was adversed, II came as a sort of shock to those inter- ested in the matter.
 However, 1t is possible that favorable action would have been had, if rumor had not obtained that such a step was contrary to the wish of the Senator close friend is authority for the state ment that. soon after the funeral in Selma, one in position to know, gave

No Statue of Senator Morgan
 for Statuary Hall at Present.

1t out that Senator Morgan had stated sometime before his death that if an effort were made to have his statue placed in Statuary Hall 1t should be discountenanced. This being true, the Appropriations Committee doubtless acted in a becoming way in respecting his wishes.
 For myself" said another friend. notwithstanding the feelings of the distinguished dead on this subject, I am quite sure that the Legislature should have insisted on placing his statue in Wilmington. For more than thirty years he had been honored by the State, and the question as to what further honor should be bestowed upon him after his death, is not one in which he was properly concerned. In sen timental and patriotic sense. the State has certain rights. which in this case should outweigh the delicate feelings of the individual Let us hope that some future Legislature will still put the matter right"
