KEYEs IS SUBSTITUTED.

Boston. Jan 14.-Bert Reyes of New York will face Packy McFar- land of Chicago tonight at the new Armory A. A. in the feature bout of twelve rounds, taking the place. of Tommy Murphy, who was injured while training.
 Young Loughrey of Philadelphia was first slated to take Murphy's place, but his hard bout with Young Erne in the Quaker city caused a hitch and Reyes was secured in- stead.
 With the cancelling of Murphy the club was hard pressed to get a strong card, and an effort was made to have Bill Papke go on with Stanton on Tuesday night instead Of January 2I, but this could not be arranged.

ROAR OF BLIND
 TIGER IS HEARD
POLICE CAUGHT SIX NEGROES YESTERDAY CHARGED WITH VIOLATING PROHIBITION LAWS AND LODGED THEM IN JAIL.

The roar of the blind tiger thundered through the streets of Birmingham yes- terday. Dozens of keepers tried to quiet him, but everyone staggered limp and dazed from the cage.
 Six of them fell into the arms of jolly blue coats who revived their faith with bottle of beerine and led them trembling to jail. Still the blind tiger roared
 Hewas too much for an old negro wom- an and a white man placed his paw on their diaphranns and some hours later the two were picked up out of the gutter and showed head first into the Black Maria
 The six blind tigers caught yesterday were also black. Bell Brooks was found in a negro cabin with agents running around the streets, leaving their custom CTS a block away, while they went to her house on the southside and purchased it at 40 cents. She, as well as Bob Smith, CTS, were captured by Policemen Street and Parker.
 Officers Burge and Tully caught George bottles with more in the hip pocket of the former Larue and Moore ran in Lewis Jones and Dan Causley on the charge of violating the prohibition laws. And so the tale endeth without any white bunnies to talk about

STATEHOOD NEAR
 FOR NEW MEXICO
RuMoR IS IN CIRCULATION THAT GOVERNOR CURRY HAS BEEN PROMISED A BILL TO CREATE NEW STATE.

Washington, January 25.-A general ru- nor was in circulation about the Senate end of the capitol today that what amounts to practically an assurance has been given to Governor Curry, National Committeeman Solomon Luna and their citizens of New Mexico. in Washington, that a bill granting statehood to New Mexico will be allowed to pass during the short session of the Sixtieth Congress.
 This, according to the rumor, is in ac- cordance of the agreement of New Mexico to let the statehood agitation drop for this session and until after the presiden- tial election. It was reported that some thing like 100 New Mexicans have been gettingfeady for trip to Washington to importune Congress for a statehood bill this winter It is asserted that Governor Curry and MT. Luna have agreed to rec ommend that the movement be held in check. There have been informal confer ences between Senator Beveridge, chair man of the Senate territories committee; Speaker Cannon and leaders in the Sen ate. While it is stated that no definite assurance has been given to the New MeNicans IS to 8 statehood bill in the, next session of Congress, it is admitted that there has been determination that no statehood legislation will take place at this session. Tine House committee on territories will begin hearings next Tues- day on the Statehood bill, and members of the New Mexico Statehood league, now in Washington, will appear.
 It is reported that Governor Curry was informed by Speaker Cannon that in the speakers opinion it would not be wise to press the statehood question too vigor- ously on the eve of presidential cam paign.

CHICAGO STREET
 RAILWAYS SOLD
ONLY ONE BID IS RECEIVED ON THE PROPERTIES WHEN BIDS ARE ASKED FOR ON THE COURT HOUSE STEPS.

Chicago, January 25.-(Special.) 1.-The Chicago Union Traction company, to- gether with all the underlying street rail way companies on the north and west sides, were offered for sale under fore closure at the Washington street entrance of the new court house twice today as if they were suburban corner lots instead of traction properties involving many mill lions of dollars.
 The Chicago Railways company in all probability will be the successful bidder, it having been the only qualified bidder on the property A purchasing committee, composed of L. c. Krauthoff, George Wyckersham and John c. Hateiy, clinched a bid made by depositing a cer- tifed check for Sl5Oo00 on the Corn Ex- change National bank. There were sev- eral separate bids made on parts of the underlying companies property because of a demand made by the Merchants Loan and Trust company.
 Master in Chancery Bishop, who con- ducted the sale plans to have his report laid before Judge Grosscup Monday, and the court will then decide whether de- cree of sale shall be entered to the Chi cago Railways company.

AWAITING THE CALL
 OF STATE PRIMARY
FOLLOWING MEETING OF STATE COMMITTEE, FEBRUARY 2, POLL TlclANS WILL. BE MucH-IN EVI- DENcE-PERsoNNEL.

After the meeting of the state dem ocratic executive committee, Febru- ary ', in Montgomery. the political pot will begin boiling openly and vio- lently.
 The committee sets a date for the | nomination of state officials. and this date is generally the accepted date on which the county officials are chosen. This will be the case in Jefferson. Aft CT the meeting, therefore, J. B. Aird, chairman of the Jefferson county demo- cratic committee. will call that body together for the purpose of promul- gating plans for the nomination of county officers.
 Because the date of the county pri- maries Is generally the date on which state officials are elected, all eyes are now turned to the meeting of the state committee.
 In addition to setting the date for the Nomination of state officials. the committee will probably set date for the holding of a convention for the election of delegates to the national democratic convention The members of this state convention will be nomi- mated in the various county primaries.
 While this is an off year in state politics, a president of the railroad commission and two judges of the su- preme court will be nominated. There have been no announcements made for either of the positions. It is generally conceded that Charles M. Henderson of Troy will ask for another term as pres ident of the railroad commission. The two vacancies to be filled on the su- preme court bench will be occasioned by the expiration of the terms of As sociate Justices Haralson and Simp- son.
 The membership of the committee is as follows:
 Chairman, Hugh S. D. Mallory of Selma; secretary, E. ". Pettus, Jr., of Selma.
 From the state at large-W. A. Car ter, First district; Bibb Graves, Sec ond district J. E. Foy, Third district; T. U. Crumpton, Fourth district; A. J. Driver, Fifth district " c. Davis, Sixth district T R. Williams, Seventh distirct; Virgil Bouldin Eighth district; w. D. Nesbitt. Ninth district.
 From the First district-J. N. Gren- ade, c. L. Hybart, Charles H. Miller, R. T. Erwin.

BY S. HEcHINeER.

the state and all because forsoothi some industries have from time to time im- ported a lot of undesirable laborers and had trouble with them and could not hold them and again behold, because the United States prohibits now to pay trans portation for more of that kind of labor! E The state of South Carolina has found out it's mistake. After establishing a bureau of immigration, its officials went to Europe and chartered a steamer to bring over a shipload of laborers to work
 on the farms and in the mills of South
 Carolina, with the usual results. Before long most of the immigrants left the state 5 again and returned to Europe or went to other states leaving in their trail throughQdt the state lot of disappoint- ment and dissatisfaction with immgra- tion in general. The causes for this are manifold, and are the same as in every other southern state and can be summed up in saying that conditions in the south today make it well nigh impossible to im- port pell-mell great number of laborers for any permanent good. The state of South Ca0lina has realized at last that it has been working in a wrong direc- tion; that to get immigration means to get settlers, not laborers, and that after the south remaining inactive in this mat ter for so many years, this can not be accomplished in rush, and that even the establishment of a southern port for im- migration by a steamship line would not do any immediate good.
 We have to create a desire first among the people in Europe to come south by impressing upon them the great agricul- tural and industrial opportunities awaiting them, unsurpassed anywhere In the world and after such desire is once created, the steamship lines and railroads will be willing enough to cooperate with us. But they will not do the work for us. The suc- cess of the immigration movement to the south from European countries depends more largely upon the people of the south than it does upon the immigrants, and I would add to that that it depends moro largely upon the people of the south than it does upon any discriminative laws or northern competition, or anything which might be done hurtful to southern inter ests. It only takes a realization by the people of the south, of this state, of the great benefits which would be derived from an influx of settlers, from the change of 100000 acres of fertile lands lying idle and more of it ruined and washed and at best indifferently culti- vated by a shiftless ignorant class of tenants being transformed into a great

 In his message to the special session of the North Carolina legislature Gov ernor Glenn stated there had been no agreement in this state on railroad rates, but the railroad had voluntarily decided to put the reduced rates into effect.
