Trains.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81
II know that when you come here
you sheepmen think you are coming
into lions den; but, however that
may be, hope you haven't got your
guns with you"
An Idaho delegation of sheepmen,
Fred Gooding, L. L. Ormsley and
John c. Johnson, had called at the
White House with Senator Borah to
urge President Roosevelt to support
Representative French's bill COM
polling railroads to run live stock
trains at speed of at least 16 miles
an hour The president said he IA
vored the bill heartily and would do
all he could to push it. The Idaho
ans assured him that although from
the wild and woolly west" he need
fear no violence from them, that
secret service men at the White
House had done their full duty, not
allowing callers to slip past them
armed with guns.
The Idahoans made no reference
to the reported complaint they were
to register against the administra-
TONS forest bureau So far as
known they have inaugurated no
movement to force a change in the
rules, although from an absolutely
reliable source it is known they had
determined to do so.
The senate passed the bill creating
Occur d'Alene National park, with
provisions for leases of parcels OF
ground for needed buildings for
terms of 10 years. The tract COM
prises approximately 10000 acres,
situate south and east of the st. Joe
river and SCUM and west of the st.
Joe river.
Senator Hepburn introduced a bill
today to appropriate $85, 900 for a
public building for Lewiston, Idaho.
Senator Dixon's bill to appropriate
$130,000 for a public building at
Missoula, Mont. was favorably re-
ported today.

II Is rumored that the interstate
commerce commission is about to
render decision In the Spokane
rate case which will be favorable to
that city and give 1t the same rates
as those charged by the railroad
companies to coast cities. Such a
decision would be OF vast benefit to
this whole section of country. be-
cause the same rates given to Spo-
kane will prevail to all surrounding
towns. 1t means a greater increase
In business to this part of the coun-
try and will make Spokane the job
bling center for a much larger ter
ritory than 1t now covers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81
President Roosevelt, in transmitting
to congress a report of the inland
waterways commission, calls atten-
ton to the failure of the nation to
seize opportunities now dormant of
inland navigation and cheaper trans
portation, of irrigation and reclama-
ton of thousands of acres of lands
which can be made fertile, and de-
velopment of power by means of har-
Messing the rapids that will make
possible improvements in other ways.
He considers the subject one of the
most important now before the peo-
pie, and warns congress that the OPP
portunities the government is missing
are fast being embraced by private
concerns, and there is danger of
monopolies controlling resources that
should be enjoyed by the whole peo-
pie.

The Asiatic Exclusion league is
becoming active and preparations
are being made to open a campaign
in the country west OF the Rocky
mountains against the admission of
the yellow race to this country or
British Columbia. While It Is I'M
derstoOd that the emperor OF Japan
is about to issue a proclamation for
bidding the emigration of Japanese
laborers to this country. the activity
of the exclusion league Ia undoubt-
eddy due to the strenuous efforts of
President Roosevelt to do nothing
which might displease the Japanese
government and his unwarranted In
reference In the San Francisco
school troubles involving the attend
ance Of Japanese pupils In the public
schools of that city. So far as the
coast states are concerned the ques-
tion will very probably become a POI
litieal Issue.

CLUB ORGANIZED
 BY HUNTSVILLE VOTERS

Colonel Tomlinson delivered an address previous to the organization of the club. He said the democrats with Bryan as the leader would win in the approach ing campaign, the prospects for demo- cratic success being brighter now than for many years past. He ascribed sev- eral reasons for this, namely, the money panic and the resulting hard times; the fact that the use of the big corporation corruption fund of the republican party has been outlawed by public opinion and because the democrats of the nation are standing closer together and are organ izing to make a hard fight.
 The party is not divided in this cam paign, he said, as it has been in preced- ing campaigns. ana the visit of MT. Bry- an in the east and north and his en- thusiastic reception by the democrats of those sections was cited as an illustration to prove this.

SENSATIONS IN TRIAL F0R LUNACY Mrs. Sidonia Baum TeStifieS In
 Her Own Case BROTHERS ARE ACCUSED Witness Says She Had Been Almost Prisoner For Four Years Until
 She Took Refuge With
 Her Neighbor

Meridian, Miss, March 4.-(Special.)- Mrs. Sidonia Baum, connected with the wealthy Meyer and Greenwald families of this city, who has been on trial several weeks for lunacy, took the stand today, and from the opening of the court until tonight she gave testimony that was succession of sensations concerning the prison-like life she has led since 1904 and the repeated efforts that have been made by her brothers and sisters to get her to sign a will and others papers conveying her estate to other interests.
 Mrs. Baum was perfcely collected throughout the trying day and ridiculed the idea of her insanity. Her heart story was the most graphic ever heard on the witness stand in this city. Mrs. Baum was married to the late Sol Baum, who a number of years ago was connected
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-03-05

with the large dry goods house of Joseph Baum &, Co.,, one of the best known of the large supply stores in East Mississippi. She left here with her husband for Phila- delphia, where they resided for l5 years, before going to New York, where MT. Baum was taken sick and later died.
 In telling her story today in all its de- tails Mrs. Baum said that just previous to her husbands death in New York she was hustled off to a hospital by Sam Greenwald, where she was kept in close confinement until brought 10 Meridian. She says she was not advised that her husband had died until after his funeral; she was never permitted after her arrival IT, Meridian to be without a guard, night and day, and that on numerous occasions force was used in trying to get her to sign papers.
 She accuses her brothers Joe and Sam Greenwald, and Joe Meyer of drawing her insurance money and using her jewels and remittances from her mother in Phila- delphia. She claims never to have been away from the house without guard. She says she was knocked down by her brother when she refused to do his bid ding.
 One night two months ago she escaped and went to the home of M. Winner, one of the wealthiest business men in Me ridian and applied for protection. She was domiciled at the home of his daugh- ter, and since that time has been care fully protected. Mir Winner has resisted efforts to get possession of Mrs Baum and is taking an active interest in her trial Mrs. Baum is heir to a part of the l.ft +, lata loo step-father to the Greenwalds and father of the Meyers.

STATE BANKS ARE IN FINE CONDITION Treasurer Seed Makes An En- couraging Report UNCLE SAM IN DEFAULT Refuses To Pay Water Rent For Gov ernment Building at Montgomery
 According To Local ~
 City Law.
 

Montgomery, March 2.-(Special) )-Re- ports to the state treasurer show that the 191 state banks are in the best shape In their history. This statement was made by Treasurer Seed, who is wonder fully pleased with the conditions that the call for showing of business to February IS recently made, has developed. He will offer his congratulations to the banks for the splendid way in which reports show them to be looking after their customers.
 Treasurer Seed made the surprising an- nouncement that many of the state banks nave enough money in vault at this time to pay every depositor if demand should be made upon them. They have also as a whole, the highest per cent of quick re- alizing assets and the highest per cent of cash in vault to deposits.
 At present the balance in favor of the state treasurer is s2,O27,oO of which amount less that one thousand dollars Is in the state vaults. This is due to the law allowing money to be distributed 10 state depositaries. It obviates the dan ger that existed for many years of the
 
 which many feared in the old day, when the balance of over two millions in actual cash would have been in the safes.
 This banking law has been a big sav- ing to the state. It saves $10,0O0 to s2oQ0O year on shipping charges and exchange. Under the old law the state paid all the exchange and express fees Now the banks in each county pay these. Every bank is allowed to have so much, by con- tract. When the balance for the state goes over that 1t must be sent to the state treasurer, the bank paying the freight. In this way the shipping falls on the banks instead of the state
 MT. Seed also finds that the bankers have lost money by the law, though they are willing to stand by it. They had to buy bonds and because they did, the bonds went up As soon as the demand was satisfied the bonds dropped leaving considerable margin between cost and price. Then, when the depression came they would have been very glad to have had the money they put in the bonds. II would have been worth more to them than the accounts of the state. However in normal times the banks will make the fact that they are depositaries of the state good advertising and the state save money in shipping and exchange, so thai 1 everybody will be ihappy
