 Diseusslon--Text of Lett
 ter of Acceptance.
wRITEs> LETTER ON SUBJECT

Tn making reply to the letter received from the Ladies' Memorial Association. President 4. c. Forbes of the Mont gomery Commercial Club, yesterday ac- cepted the challenge to discuss the much -mooted question of removing the Court Street fountain.
 The letter of Captain Forbes was In reply to one written to him several days ago by the Association, chai- lenging him for joint debate on the question. In accepting, Captain Forbes put the matter on a broad basis. rather including the removal of the Fountain among plans to be pursued In a gen. eral Identification of Montgomery. While the Commercial Club has not taken up the matter of removing the Fountain, some of the members favor its removal, while others oppose it.
 It is understood that request will be made of members of Council to defer any action that they may contemplate until after the debate. at which it Is proposed to assemble every one In Montgomery who is interested in the matter.
 As soon as President Forbes receives a reply to his letter. he will select some one to champion the cause of beautify- ing Montgomery, and incidentally sto discuss the removal of the Fountain and the substitution of something that memorsalizes the spot in Court Square.
 It is believed that the question. which is agitated nearly every year, will be materially affected by the debate which now seems imminent. It is one which has occupied the attention of nearly every Council for the last ten years. That a determined fight is to be made by those favoring the retention of the Fountain is vouched for in the inves- tiRation that Is being made of the tttle unsser which the spot is now held by the city.

nlr. Kent Id aRaffles.,,

At both matinee and night per formances at the Grand yesterday MT. Rents stage version of ''rhe Amateur cracksman.' in "RaffIes' had more, il possible, of the force which he threw into this detective drama on his for mer visit to Montgomery.
 Nor did Mir. Joseph M. Gaites cheapen the play by putting 1t in the popular price class Mir. Rents interpretation of the sinister character made famous by the English artist, kyrle Bellew' always had a distinction among Mont gomery audiences. It evidently had an engaging quality of some kind as at both the performances of this last visit he was drawn to the curtain for a speech To these calls he respond- cd happily and told his hearers or his appreciation of their tribute and that he would be back again in, he hoped a new play.
 The faulty balance lay chiefly with two parts. that of the part of Captain Bedford and that of Mrs. Vidal. Tne absence of a cleverness of action in the one and of versatility of emotional dis- play in the other somewhat detracted from the life and color of the play Yet the constant presence Of the very busy Mr. Rallies necessarily saves the evening in this story if there Is no weakening in this one role.
 That Mir. Kent showed strength in his art, that he displayed an energetic nervousness fit for the part, cannot be gainsatd. and the story went or without Interruption. So, if we say this. we cannot deny the company the praise of success.
 The emotional art of Rallies fell upon the shoulders of Jane Fearnley who undertook the role of Gwendolyr Conron. To the requirements of thii part Miss Fearnley was well cast, wttf her personal figure of grace. and hei delicate treatment of the climax fl the fourth act, when the violent revela tion of Raffles' identity strikes hel with tempestuous cruelty.
 By the sprightliness she lends thu part of Lady Ethel. no less than by hel natural pulchritude. Florence Willard' won a decided recognition from th' | audiences of yesterday.
 Hardly too much can be said eithel of the work of Jack Bennett as Craws hay, the typical yeggmen of the crowt that gets caught" and who does no move in high society. His portraya was especially credltable in view o the restraint which he puts on th' action that is most of the part h. undertakes.

score Montgomery. 20. Nashville. 14.
 The second half was started by Da- wis of the locals by a very brilliant and difficult goal. The Montgomery combination was working wen, ana the lead of six points was gradually increased to double and over. Nash vile took e spurt about this time, and for about ten minutes before the last five minutes of play looked as if they might bring the score to tie. Tn the midst of this, however, Lockhart. who had been warned by Umpire Fry before. roughed the playing to such an extent that he was disqualified, Regen taking his place.
 About the time that Lockhart was disaualified, Hall of Montgomery ieft the game and was replaced by Wash burn.

small Crowd or Spectators Saw Most Spirited Contest Of Season Easily Takea By Local Y. M.
 O. A,

Another would-be champiorls' scalp is hanging in the trophy room of the local Y. M. c. A. The new addition 10 the already large bunch is that of the Nashville Athletic Club on whose trip south have last no game with the exception of that to Mobile a couple Of nights ago and to Montgomery last night. 7f 4. G7
 The Nashville team was late In ar rivhe, but the few spectators who witnessed the game were more than repaid. It was without doubt the hardest fought game seen on the local floor. the team work of both teams being exceptionally fine.
 The game started with overzeaious- ness on both sides. but Montgomery soon settled down to real business ana team work with Patterson throwing a spectacular goal from the middle of the floor. For the few seconds following Patterson's brilliant play Montgomery played circles around the Nashville bunch, throwing goals al- most at will.
 In the second half Davis started the play with another goal of the sem sational kind. but after few goals by Montgomery. Nashville made a squirt in their efforts to redeem their lost laureis. Tn the midst of this some i of the players rather lost their tenn pers and one of them was disqualified by Umpire Fry. With the disquaIifi- cation of the player the Nashville bunch lost their team work, and the game ended with the score 3I to 23 in favor of the local team.
 On account of the inclemency of the weather there were not as many of the followers of the game ouy 70 see the contest. and they lost seeing prob- ably the best games which will be played on the local floor in many days.
 Weather could not deter the spon- sors for either side. Montgomery's being Miss Mary Metcalf and those for Nashville Miss Claire Hertz and Miss Rita Anent. Before the game the sponsors were the centre of attraction, and during the contest they led the cheering for their team.
 The game was really won by super for team work on the part of the local team. Nashville has some very excep- tionaI players. and Womack. captain of the Nashville squad, was about the keenest player seen on an opposing team with the exception of Captain Poppenfuss, of Illinois. In the accu- racy of shooting goals and getting a combination started. Captain Womack Is excellent.
 Nashville started things on the open ing by blocking a player and on the attempt to throw goal Susong failed Montgomery was the offender in quick succession, and Nashville took the lead by throwing the goal. Patterson's spectacular goal then started the To- calls going and the half ended with the playing all Montgomery and the

AFTER THEIR SCALPS
CHARGES MADE AGAINST DIMMICEs
 AND BOOTH.
National Committeeman ecott Is Said to Have Accused Postmaster And Revenue Agent With
 Political Activity.

A we'll known Alabama Republican. who returned to Montgomery last night from Washington, brought the news that charges of political activity have been preferred against Postmas- ter J. P. Dimmick of Montgomery and Revenue Agent Knox Booth.
 According to this Republican, who asked that his name should be with held for obvious reasons. the charges were preferred by Captain Charles H. Scott. of Montgomery, Alabama's Re- publican National Committeeman. None of the specifications against Messrs. Dimmick and Booth could be learned but the Republican who gave the information. declared that the charges hadNbeen filed by Captain Scott and that they would be pressed.
 Postmaster Dimmick, 1t will be re- called, was not supported by Captain Scott for the postmastership of Mont gomery. He is perhaps the youngest postmaster at an office of this tmpor- tance in the country. MT. Dimmick Is an alumnus of Harvard and at the time of his appointment it was said that he secured the plum because President Roosevelt was much impress ed with his personality
 Mir. Booth was recently made a special agent of the Internal Revenue Department having been associated with Internal Revenue Collector J. O Thompson several years in the govern ment service. It may be that the charges against Mir. Booth reflect the reported disagreement between Messrs Thompson and Scott, who for some time represented President Roosevelt in Alabama mattera
 It has been understood that both Postmaster Dimmick and Mr. Booth were warm, political supporters oi President Roosevelt. his policies and his friends. Captain Scott Is an ardent supporter of Secretary Taft and al least some of the Republicans of the State will feel a sting of surprise that Captain Scott should make charges of this sort against the Presidents friends.
