NEw MARRIAGE LAWS.
Cardinal Gibbons Says Church Is Safe
 guarding WedIock.

Baltimore, January 13.-Cardinal Gibbons said today that the new laws relating to marriage in the Catholic church, which have recently been issued by the Holy See, will not change in any important particular the ex- istfng laws in the church in this coun- try. The new laws are aimed to pre- vent hasfy and ill-advised marriages. "The legislation,'' said the cardinal, twill not materially affect the present laws of the church in this country. As you are no doubt aware the publication of the banns has always been required in this country, except in cases in which a special dispensation is pro- cured. This rule will not be altered by the new Legislation"
 The new regulations will, it is said, be announced after Easter. The decree was issued chiefly on account of the inconveniences arising In Europe from what are called "sponsalia," that is mutual promises of marriages private ly entered upon. These "sponsalia,' it was found, caused the deception of ih- experienced girls and gave rise to dis sensions and disputes. It was ordered that the marriage should take place before the parish priest or the bishop of the place and that there should be two witnesses. Tn ere were some other conditions attached but these regula- tions did not apply to this country.

Roosevelt Sends Letter To President
 of Appalachian Association.

Atlanta, January 13-President Ligon Johnson, of the Appalachian National Forest association, today received letter from President Roosevelt. warmly in- dorsing the work of the association rela- tive to the preservation of the Appalach- ian forests. The Presidents S letter quotes a speech he delivered at Raleigh, N. C., in October 1905. and then says:
 we know also that these forests are of the utmost importance to navigation on the streams to which they give rise. All the water which falls in the southern Appalachians goes to the sea through navigable channels which it has cost the government over s30,00000O to keep clear from sand, silt and gravel. This detritus Is increasing every year as the moun- tains ares denuded of their cover. The task of cleaning out the southern streams and harbors grows heavier each year. Until we remove the cause by protecting these mountain forests from fire and reckless cutting we shall inevitably ex- pend increasing sums without permanent results.
 Flight years ago the movement for the purchase of these forests took definite shape While it has grown and is strong CT now than ever, it's merits should make it far stronger than it is. Therefore. I am pleased at the organization of your association with the definite purpose of getting these forests Established As [ said in my last message to Congress, we should acquire in the Appalachian and White mountain region all the forest lands that it is possible to acquire for the use of the nation"

At the Biiou.

The company presenting George Ade's satirical comedy drama, 'The County Chairman" which began a weeks en- gagement at the Bijou theater last night. is a surprisingly good one. In fact, it would be drawing a nice distinction to say that the present organization is mo- ticeably inferior to the first company which presented this play at the Jefferson theater two years ago. William T. Chat terton as Jim Hacker gives a fine inter- pretation of the character. and he is well suited to the part. It does not require much makeup for him to look like the original county chairman evolved in the brain of George Ade from characters he had known in real life. MT. Chatterton is capable in all parts of the play and those who have seen previous stars in tlfis role will find nothing to criticize in MT. Chatterton's art. He is fine county chairman.
 The supporting company composed as it is of many characters. some of them hardly secondary in importance to that of the star. makes an excellent showing. Harry Haden is all that could be desired as Tiford Wheeler, the candidate for county prosecutor and in love with Lucy, Judge Rigby's daughter. Wilbur Atkin- son as the parsimonious judge is realistic, while Ed German as Jefferson Briscoe does very well in bit of comic character ization. Clint G. Ford makes Sassafras Livingston entertaining, and several other minor characters are in capable hands May Bretonne as Lucy Rigby, the girl in the case is winsome and therefore most charming. Nelle Blanchard as Mrs. Rig by. Josephine Clairmont as Chick FL zey and Nanette kress as the milliner deserve praise.
 ''The County Chairman" is a wholesome play and thoroughly American, fact which accounts for it's lasting popularity. The story is familiar to most theatre goers, dealing as it does with hot po- litical battle for the office of prosecuting attorney of Jefferson county, Ind, and the pretty love affair of two young peo- pie who are cast by circumstances on op- posing sides. Lucy Rigby is the daughter

RUFF TALKS WITH COUNSEL.
IT portant Action Is Expected In Rela-
 ton To Bribery Cases.

San Francisco. January 13.-What is re- garded as the most important conference affecting the prosecution of the San Fran cisco bribery graft cases since the Al indictments were returned was held this afternoon in the office of the district attorney by District Attorney William H. Langdon, Special Agent William J. Burns, and Abraham Ruef, the latter a political boss. It lasted two hours, and was continuation of a conference held last Sunday Not only the successful or the unsuccessful prosecution of the indicted persons for bribery. it was generally be- lieved but the fate of each as well hinged on the outcome of the conference When Ruef emerged from the district attornys office at 5:15 o'clock he declared that he had promised to say nothing of what took place. He appeared to have passed through a severe ordeal.

SMALL CHANCE FOR
 THE SUFFRAG|STS
German Government Stands On
 Firm Platform
LIBERALS RETAIN POWER
Demand of the People For Free and General Exercise of the Ballot Will Receive No Attention
 From the Government.

Berlin. January 13.-The Associated Press is enabled, by the courtesy of parsonage who is in close relations with Prime Minister Von Buelow, to set forth the views of the government concerning the street demonstrations of last Friday and yesterday, which resulted from the demand in the Prussian landtag for the abolition of the present plutocratic sys- tenn of suffrage and the substitution therefor of manhood suffrage.
 .'The socialist disturbances will result in the liberals drawing closer to the sup port of the government" this official said.
 "The liberals in Germany are composed largely of manufacturers. bankers, mer- chants, and other property owning inter- ests. These interests perceive that if they are to avoid being devoured by the socialists they must stand together for d strong government. Prince Von Bue- lows declaration was no more than the simple truth. The government will con sent to no electoral changes which in- crease the power of the socialists to agi- tate against the existing organization of society and all political parties, excepting The socialists. will make common cause with it."
 Both sides are disposed to minimize the character of the demonstrations of yes terday, and each affirms that the mani- festants were composed in part of row dies who made use of this opportunity to endeavor to create mischief Herr Von Borries, the chief commissioner of police, says the demonstration was carefully planned and that the police took decisive action only when they knew that the socialists were determined upon unlawful public demonstrations. The socialists quite agree that the demonstrations were prepared in advance, but they declare that they would have passed off in an orr derly manner if the police had not bru- tally charged inoffensive paraders.
 Detached observers regard the events of the last four days as embittering the masses and as making the government more determined than ever to keep the franchise on a limited basis. Nothing further is expected to happen in the imme- diate future except that the socialists, seeking fresh weapon, probably will stir up the passions of those who believe themselves to be denied adequate repre- Sentation.

At the Gayety.

A sour visaged man was sitting way Gayety went up yesterday. In a few seconds he was sitting straight up, the expression on his face began to soften, gradually the lines began to curve, then his whole face wrinkled as his mouth opened wide and his anatomy doubled up in a roar of laughter.
 One of the funniest and at the same time one of the cleanest shows that has ever appeared at any theatre in Birming- ham is the Behman show. The come dians are far above any the Gayety has had, and are endowed with ability enough to appear with the very best organization. They also have splendid support.
 The entire performance was the defni- tion of merriment. Good. clean merri- ment The kind that makes one laugh heartily and then feel better for having laughed. ''The Passing Review and Hey Diddle- Diddle'' are the names of the two acts, but the hodge-podge of hi- larity turned loose makes it impossible to tell why they were given such sober names.
 The organization is extremely strong, there being male chorus of nearly twen- ty in addition to an extremely large and shapely bevy of girls. who sing and dance

FRENCH AERONAUT
 WINS RICH PRIZE
AeropIane Is SucceSSfulIyDriven
 In a Circle
MONEY AND MEDAL GIVEN
All the Leading Foreign Aeronauts Are Present at the Flight-Banquet Will Be Rendered Winner
 By the Aero Club.

Paris, January 13.-Henry Farman, the French aeronaut, today won the Deutsche- Archdeacon prize of Sl0OO0, by making a circular kilometre in an airship heavier than air. The successful flight was made in the presence of an official committee of the Aero club. The flight was one min ute and twenty-eight seconds.
 Farman's feat was accomplished in brilliant and impressive manner. The flight took place over a field at Plassy five miles southwest of Paris, in the presence of NJ Archdeacon, M. Santos Dumont. Count De Lavaulx, Captain Fer Der. NJ. Bleeriot and d score of other en- thusiastic aeronauts and about 300 spec tators
 With the preliminary run of 100 yards over the ground. the aeroplane had risen to d height of r or 15 feet before it reached the starting pole. Then, with outstretched wings. il sailed away across the field at a height of from 25 to 50 feet. going at the rate of 24 miles an hour. As it approached the outer mark, it de- scribed a graceful curve, descending slightly the while. The turn was com pleleu SLUGGISH uliN, Ailc NiAiA AAShtSo hi'- machine and the aeroplane came sailing home on an even keel As il passed the finish mark, Farmaa cut off the power ard the machine descended lightly to the earth, winner of the Deutsche-Archdeaco prize. amid the cheers of the spectators.
 The motor used has eight cylinders and developed 5O-horsepower Il weighs l7G pounds. The manufacturers of the motor also win a medal.
 The Aero club will give a banquet next Thursday evening, when Farman will ne presented with the prize he won today and the gold medal of the club.
 As the outer mark is 512 metres from the start. it is estimated that with the curve described by Farman, the aero plane covered distance of 1900 metres. Aeronauts consider this exploit tie greatest since NJ Santos Dumont cir cumnavigated the Eiffel tower in dirigi- ble balloon, and as being of far more prospective value.

New York, Jar rary 1S.-The suspension pany was announced today on the Stock Exchange. The firm consists of Robert Maelay and Alfred B.
