AN ADVANCE IS MADE
WORK DONE FOR SUCCESS OF THE
 CONGRESS.
Commercial Secretaries Of The south VIII Meet saturday In New 0r- leans To Map Out Pro-
 gram.

Many definite steps were accom- plished by the meeting Saturday or J. A. Betjamen, of Albany. Ga' and Secretary Dave. of the Montgomery Commercial Club. in discussing and planning for the Southern Commercial Congress that Is to be held in Wash ington December and 8.
 One of the first results of the meet ing was arranging for meeting or the commercial secretaries Of Louis jana. Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. to meet in New Orleans next Saturday to formulate plans for their share Of the great work and select represen- tative of that section of the south as one of the committee of three who will interview President Roosevelt October 1 in regard to certain matters per- taining to the congress in which. If he so wills. he can lend great help. The arrangement committee is not abso- lutely dependent on MT. Roosevelt for the help needed. but his granting their request. that maps. statistics, speei- mems and other matter pertaining to Southern natural wealth. now in the possession of the government, be used at the congress. These things can be reproduced, but 1t will require much time labor and money, and the grant ing of the exhibits for use two days, will be of great help. Of course the committee of three that will talk to the President will have other matters to discuss but the matter of the ex- hibits is the chief item.
 In reply to a letter from Mir. Roose velts' secretary William Loeb. asking when the committee wishes to see the President. MT. Dave named October l, and forwarded a letter to this ef- feet. The letter sent Secretary Loeb fully explains the congress and its scope.
 The most important part of the con- ference between MT. Dave and MT. Betjamen was the formulation of tentative program for the exposition. The program is arranged in such way as to form a natural sequence in a summing up of the potential great ness of the Southern States" MT. Dave said yesterday. Health is taken as the first number of the program. for the reason that many persons. not well

posted, when the South is mentioned have visions of snakes and other of- fensive reptiles. Some even think of 1t as a region of disease and discom- fort and therefore the first subject on the program will lead to an authori- tative statement that shall dissapate a false prejudice at present strongly in- trench ed against the region.
 The business men of Alabama and contiguous States who will look over the list of topics will realize the topics, carefully worked out, mean an expla- nation of tremendous opportunity for the men of the South themselves and all other men of good will who will help the south.
 "In addition to the investment pos abilities there will be a great series at the time of the congress will show what possibilities have or have not been developed"
 The tentative program worked out by Mir. Dave and Mir. Betjamen, and which is of course subject to minor changes. is as follows:
 l. Health conditions. climate and temperature.
 2. The influence of the Panama Canal in producing a seuthward swing in manufactures.
 8. Ports of the South and foreign  trade.
 {. Water courses of the South.
 5. Railroad mileage and needs.
 6. Water power--Appalachian re- serve.
 [. Coal resources.
 S. Iron resources and limestone.
 g. General mineral wealth.
 10. Cotton monopoly and cotton manufacturing.
 II. Building materials. including cement. marble, clays. granite and lumber.
 l2. Reclamation and agriculture.
 13. Present and prospective edu- cational progress.
 The following charts will be on ex- hibition at the congress:
 Total area, total cultivation, forests, swamps. agricultural development. live stock, poultry and dairying, horticul- ture. tobacco culture and manufactur- ing. lumber. fisheries and oysters, su- gar rice, various minerals.
 It Is expected these matters will all be ready for presentation and dis cussion at the next meeting of the committee on arrangements. not the charts and maps that will be presented later at the congress. but full lines of suggestion ad details of the work.

TO FACE TRIAL.

Birmingham, Sept. 21--A special from Purvis, Miss. says John Brook. the youthful slayer of Louis Kohler, has been transferred from the Jackson jail to Purvis to be placed on trial for the second time Tuesday morning
 Brook Is mere youth. hardly out of his teens and the crime for which he was sentenced to death about one year ago was an unusually atrocious mur. der Technical errors were committed by the lower court during his trial and a reversal was ordered by the Su- preme Court The appeal was handled by Captain Frank Johnston of Jack son. former attorney general and Brook enjoyed the unusual but constitutional privilege of being in the court room when his case was argued.
 The principal plea of the defenda nt at the second trial will be insanity at the time of the killing.

AmuSenents
At the Majestic.


 Vaudeville that would do cred.t to the best and highest priced houses Of the East a bill containing acts that do not jar. with every turn good, not disappointment in the whole hour and half of fun, is to be seen at the Ma jestic Theatre this week. Every act is smoothly put on and deserves every night of the week the full house that greeted the nrst night performance
 There is no headliner. It begins and ends, and every act seems better thar the one just precedind. The audience must have felt that way about 1t last night, for every act was encored to its limit. change of number and the lift ing of the scene being necessary to give the performers rest.
 Reed and St. John led on with a beautifully costumed act. They are styled the colonial musical duo" and while the airs they play are not all colonial, the music rendered is soft and pleasing. Everything giitters with just the right sparkle. and for once cor net player does not make the audience put hands over its ears.
 Stewart and KeelY. presenting the dancer and the maid. have a bit of comedy and some dancing that ia ex- cellent. Here, too. the bill is good While the comedy consists of a so. ries of jokes not one of them is stale anu Judglng rom the laughs every, one was new to Montgomerians Leonard and Louie have about the finest acrobatic turn on the vaudeville stage There are no hair raisiny stunts. but each trick Is done seemins- ly as easy as breathing. Did you evsr have yourself picked up by the hairs Did you ever see 1t done? No? The sight awaits one at the Majestic. The joke or it Is that both people do- ing the stunt enjoy it; they say that it's fine for the hair. But the rest of the turn shows how modern athletics ought to be done.
 Ida Russell and Grace Eloiso Church have a skit entitled From So- ciety to the Bowery." dance of the nations Is done by one ot them, while the descent from society' to the Bowery" is excellently done by the other.
 Tom and Edith Almond have an orig inal turn to complete the bill. Danc- ing on skates. roller and ice, danc ing on top of long pointed shoes, play ing bells for the dance. makes their turn fitting climax to the rest Of the bill 'How-evah," in any light you see the flashing skates you are de lighted. and wonder what new aim possibility" will be done next.

SEATTLE. December 2I-A spec
tacular naval fight, one as vicious as
it was novel and amusing took plasce
i'm the harbor Of Seattle today between
a gasoline launch manned by Captain
Roy Liliico and al attacking force Of
5000 seagulls LillicO had as cargo a
lot Of Christmas dainties, such as can
dies, oranges, figs, cakes, etc. which he
sought to deliver aboard the French
bark DesaiX for Captain and Madame
ChauteauvieuX, the master and his
bride, who are on their honeymoon
The launch had proceeded a third Of
the way out across the bay when the
gulls swooped down upon it. Lillico
equipped with pike, fought bravely
but despite his efforts the hunger
maddened gulls tore open several
sacks of fruit and candy and all but
stampeded the commander overheard
Almost blinded ty the cloud of flap
ping wings, scnapping beaks and tear
ing claws, Lillico fought franctically at
first to save his cargo, and then to
save himself.
Perceiving that he could make no
Roadway with his pike blows and real
izing that his eyes and clothing were
liable to be torn from him if he con-
tnued on deck, the captain beat a
ha ty retreat inside the launch. He
took a hose, attached it to a steam
tan and turning it on full head shot
the scalding steam and water into the
midst of the fighting flock.
The gulls, sickened by the steam,
ceased their attack and Lillico pro-
ceeded to the bark

NEW YORK December 1.-THE
name of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw figura-
lively is written across the voluntary
petition in bankruptcy fired in the
United States Circuit Court this morn
ing by Mrs Mathilda Beatrice de Mile
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of the saint
like face. who became chief figure of
the Thaw tragedy, is the blight that
has after a two years struggle, forced
the widow of the brilliant collaboration
of Belasco two decades ago, and the
mother of two successful playwrights
of today, to plead before a court of
law to be released from the obliga-
tion of her debts, that she may make a
fresh effort
For it was the story of Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw as heard from her own lips
on the witness stand during the trial
of Harry K. Thaw that brought noto-
riety to the fashionable school.
Three months after the ending of the
first Thaw trial, Mrs. de Mile closed
her school. She saw the struggle
against the notoriety gained through
the Thaw trial would be in vain.
Mrs de Mile hoped to win back a
fortune by coming to this city and
starting a play brokerage business
with offices in the Astor Theatre
building. 1t is in these offices that
she has been toflisg for many months
striving in vain against competition
and the expected climax came today
