WILL RISK
INDICTMENT
Montgomery R e a u Mt
Men Determined Not to
Close Up at 9 O'Clock All
of Buildings in Parts of
Which Liquor is Sold
Prior to That Hour.
Special to The journal.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 13.-The
saloon men who have restaurants at
tached are not going to close up whole
shop at O'Clock, even if 1t is evil
dent that they are to be indicted for
violation of the early-closing law.
This much was indicated by number
of them this morning. 1t is generally
conceded that hotels are not touched
by the ruling that places where Ii
auors are stored must be closed with
the coming of the first quarter watch
of the night
John Young, whose place is an apt
illustration of the case in point, said
this morning that he would continue
to keep his restaurant open and his
barroom screened off after 9 o'clock at
night. He did not care to say what
course he would pursue if he is in
dfcted, though he intimated that if
pushed to the wall he would find a
way to protect himself. 1t is his de-
sire, he said. to fully obey the laws
His record in the business indicates
as much, but he did not think he
ought to be forced out of business.
1t is understood that the local sa-
loon men will join in the fight being
made by Mobile and other places to
break down the act, believing that 1t
is so dangerous to the restaurant
business as to almost kill it. There
is a case pending in the supreme
court. in which the law is attacked,
and the belief is that it can be broken
down when il is shown that II works
to the detriment of the men who are
trying to keep the spirit of the law as
regards liquor.

RETENTIO
Of NORTHUP
IN PENSACOLA
Meyer Replies to the Talia-
ferro Resolution of Inquiry
and Surprises the Senate
by Saying that Northup's
Continuance in Office Was,
and Is, According to Law.
BY Associated Press.


Washington, Feb. 13.-POStmaster
General Meyers reply to the senate
inquiry as to why Postmaster Northup
of Pensacola, Fla, was retained in
Office after the senate had not only
withheld its advice and consent,
but absolutely refused to confirm the
appointment, has caused something
like shock in the august upper body
of congress.
Just before the end of the last con-
NorthTp's nomination. He was given
a recess appointment after adjourn
ment, and is still holding the Office.
Some three weeks ago the senate, at
the suggestion OF Senator Taliaferro,
of Florida, adopted resolution call
ing upon the postmaster general for
Information as to why NOrthup was
still in office after his nomination had
been rejected, and in defiance of the
law
The long-delayed reply contained
tho information that the action taken
in Northup'S case was according to
law"
The senators are now wondering
what authority of law there is for the
action of the department and the
president in commissioning a re-
jected nominee and if there is such
authority, of what use Is it for the
senate to reject nominee if the per-
son can go right on holding Office
They look at it as a plain case of
usurpation by the executive in their
prerogatives, and will resent it
strongly.

The bond buyers who contracted Tor
the entire issue of s350,000 worth of
Pensacola improvement bonds. and
who have failed to take the issue when
it was forwarded to New York, where
the transfer was to be made, Will
probably lose $1,000 as a result OF this
action. as this amount was deposited
as a guarantee that the issue would
be taken if presented before Jan. 1.
The purchasers of the bonds reside
in Cleveland. but the bonds, after be-
ing signed by the Pensacola officials,
were forwarded to New York. where
the money was to be paid over when
ever the bonds were presented.
The bonds reached New York at a
time when the money stringency was
at its worst, and it Is assumed that
this is the reason why the buyers
were unable to take up the issue at
the time agreed upon. Since that
time, the bond trustees have been in
communication with Dillon & Hub
bird, the New York attorneys for the
city, and finally being unable TO get
the purchasers to take the issue. they
entered negotiations with other bond
buyers, and notified the city council
of the action.
Suit will now be Instituted for the
81 900 forfeit deposited by the bidders,
and it is believed that the money viii

While Investigation Was in
Progress, the Child Was
Taken Away.
THE WOMAN, MARY RICHARDSON,
ALIAS MARY LUCAS, CLAIMED
SHE DID NOT KNOW THE
MOTHER OF THE INFANT AND
DELIVERED 1T WHEN PARTY
CALLED.

The discovery of a white infant
about two months of age at the home
of a negress, the disappearance of the
child while Marshal Sanders was max
ing an investigation, and the claim OF
the woman that she did not know who
was the mother of the infant, caused
considerable comment in police cir
cleS last night and also among those
who became aware of the matter.
The woman who had the child in
custody yesterday afternoon is Mary
Richardson, alias Mary Lucas. Marshal
Sanders located the woman and child
on North AlcaniZ street, and was told
by the woman that it had been put ia
her care by local physician. The
woman Also stated that her homo was
on Coyle street, and not Alcaniz
street
After seeing the child, Marshal San
ders returned to the city and consult
ed with Mayor Goodman, and the two
reached a decision to take the child
from the custody of the woman and
place it in some place to be cared for
until some steps could be taken to-
wards placing it in a home.
Child Disappears.
Marshal Sanders then went to the
home of the negress on Coyle street
to get the child When he arrived
there he was met by the Lucas woman,
Who stated that the child had been
- N away by a woman who claimed
!, re its mother, and she did not
how where it had been carried. She
again stated that she had nothing
whatever to do with the infant, ex-
cepting that she was being paid to
care for it, and therefore made no
inquiry when il was called for shortly
after the marshal had left her on
North AlcaniZ street.
Marshal Sanders then called up the
physician in the case, who informed
the marshal, Mr.. Sanders says, that
the child was the infant of stranger
who gave birth TO it while in hotel
near the union depot. and that she
had placed it in custody of the woman
until such time as she might call for
it, The doctor did not know the name
of the mother of the child, as she was
a stranger in Pensacola, arriving here
one night and giving birth to the in
FAINT within a short time
Still Investigating.
Marshal Sanders continued the in
vestigation last night, and will endeav-
Or to locate the mother and the in
FAINT if they are in the city.

New Orleans and Mobile are

Soon to Act.

New Orleans, Feb. 1S-The New
Orleans Cotton Exchange today or
dered a meeting for the purpose of
passing resolutions opposing the pas
sage of the Frye BILL, introduced in
the United States senate. 1t seeks to
drive all foreign ships from trade be-
tween the United States and the 18TH
mus of Panama, and as that foreign
ships are practically the only ones
in the trade between the iSthmus and
southern ports, il works a great hard
ship to this section of country, as well
as to the entire Mississippi Valley
and contiguous territory.
All the other commercial bodies in
New Orleans have declared against
the Frye bill, and Invitations will be
extended to other commercial bodies
in other southern and western cities
to join in the movement.

Washington. Feb. 13-It develops
that the railroads of the south par
ticularly the Southern Railway, will
resist vigorously the amendment :
ator Clay proposes TO offer to the
nostaI appropriation bill, providing
for the forfeiture of all pay when a
mail train fails to keep its schedule
and its unable to excuse the delay by
reasons. Under the pres
ent law, the carriers are subject 10
fines in the discretion or the pOStOr-
fee department, but experience has
shown that the fines have been rldlc-
ulously small, and in many instances
RENTED entirely.
Senator Clay. who inaugurated the
for better mail service on
the part of the railroads, has formal
" given notice that he will amend the
postal appropriation bill to provide for
the forfeiture of all pay for trip
unless the trip be made on schedule
time. He thinks such an amendment
will have the desired effect and that
late trains in the south would soon be
a memory.
Following the publication of Clay's
purpose. Major Andrews. vice-presi-
dent. and Hamilton McWhorter, as
sistant general counsel, of the South
ern Railway. and number of other
railroad men from the
south appeared in Washington last
week. They learned with sorrow
that the Georgia senator is in earn
est about his amendment, and further
than indications point to its passage
in the senate. 1t has been learned
from reliable sources that the rail-
road men determined to oppose the
amendment vigorously, and it is said
that their activities will be devoted
largely to members of the house.

The progress at the tunnel for the
month Of April was 22l feet in the
west end and l39 feet in the east
end. A strong flow Of water at the
heading on the east end on April
24th compelled the workmen to quit
work at the heading and the gang
mas since been working on the ap-
proach IN the tunnel on the east
end. Hence fifteen f ct Of the l39
feet were. in the direction Of the
headgs,e aud not VI the heading in
the Htgfef. On the 9Th Of May.
626 ,0O0 gallons of water were pump
ed out Of the east end and the pres
sure OF the water was so great as to
force a stream out Of the air pipe at
rate of ninety gallons minute,
which gives an idea Of the obstacle
from that source in the river end.
Since the flow was first struck the
amount Eelng forced out by its own
pressure has fallen from 100 to
ninety gallons a minute, which lndl-
Gates that 1t is slowly being drained
out.
For the first six days in May the
progress in the west end was fifty
nine feet and on the east end toward
the headeate thirty-nine feet. This
leaves a distance of SAB feet be-
tween headings.
