ALL WANT A
 HIGH SCHOOL Commission Hears Scores <, of Delegates. NO SITES HAVE BEEN SELECTED Competition for Institutions Spirited Yesterday. Audienee of Representatives of RfvsI Towns Continue -- Some Announce- meat Possible Today--Jocul-
 larfty Outside.
NO SHE'S HAVE BEEN SELECTED

Tn a session that lasted all of yester- day and into the night the members of the State High School Commission sit- ting in the Governors ofice at the Capitol heard delegations from towns in several counties in which high schools are to be constructed by the State. No selections of sites were made.
 The commission, consisting of Gov ernor Conner. who Is ex-oficio Chair man, Hon. Harry c! yGunnels, Superin- tendent of Education, and Hon. W. w. Brandon, State Auditor, began to give audience to representatives of towns early yesterday morning and almost without intermission they were in ses. sion until after nightfall.
 The delegation comprising more than a hundred men, come into the Capital to argue and crate on behalf of their constituencies. They were some of the most prominent and infiuencial men of their communities, selected to do their best for their towns. But what suc- cess they had in persuading the Conn mission they do not yet know.
 The hearing yesterday were of Tus- kegee and Notasulga in Macon county, comprising a party aggregating about fifty. the largest single delegationi Center and Round Mountain in Chero- kee county; Attalla, Altoona and Hoke's Bluff in Etowah: Fort Payne and Col linsville in DeKald; Elba and Enter prise in Coffee; Section. Bridgeport and Scottsboro in Jackson.
 If any selections are made today, 1t is understood. they will probably be in those counties where there is least competition.
 There are in all forty eight schools to be located by the Commission and 1t is not known how long the work will require for accomplishment.
 Amusement and Anxiety.
 It was a pretty ttring sort of busi- ness; arduous for the Commissioners, who sat through long hours, question ing and listening and weighing the an- swers given; a source of ver-increas- ing anxiety for those granted audience, and mercilessly tiring the more or less patient delegations that stood without the, door.
 Of the proceedings within it was im- possible, of course, to gain much in- formation; 1t was a star chamber af- fair But on the outside, there was
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-04-30

more or less talk, and some of 1t. as might be expected, was amusing. There were scores of men present to see the commission, and scores of men can't get together without saying something funny.
 They took it as easily as they could. Some ot them stood in the corridors until their feet felt as broad as a modern churchman, and they said so in rather picturesque language.
 I'm not going to work these poor feet any more; they have done their duty l am going to walk on my hands Tor the rest of my natural life" said 2 poor fellow who had been one of the irst corners in the morning and had. so to speak. held his ticket in his hand. and awaited his turn at the main en- trance with no success. because he had the wrong coupon and would probably have to walt for the concert.
 Immediately half a dozeh men reach ed out their hands to him; they could deeply sympathize with him who did only stand and wait.
 There was a quite a crowd of more patient walters who stretched them selves fin the shade of the trees on the Capitol grounds where the fruit trees grow. One of them proposed a barbe- cue for the next day and named a com mittee to dig the trenches If Herr Diet rich would lend them the needed i'm plements. The committee agreed to dig it if its members didn't have to stand up.
 Give us, camp-stools ans we'll dig her." they remarked in a tired sort of way. It was suggested then that the committee on trenches Flight be sup plenented with a committee on trans portation which would make a work train of wheel barrows and slowly hn al tA totRk sNR way.
 Discussion of rates resulted in appli- cation for a restraining order. and the cue will not be given. A log-roIling. to be conducted under the rules and regulations of the Easter Egg Rolling Association. will be given instead of the cue.
 The Hearings Today.
 The program of today. 1t Is under stood. will be similar to the proceed ings of yesterday. the delegations be- ing received in as due order and as rapidly as possible. The large nWm- Der to be heard and the nature of the investigations make it difiicult for even the commission to prophecy ac- curately how many will be heard.
 Among those scheduled for today are receptions of delegates from St. Clair county. in which the competing towns are Odenville, PelI City and Spring. vile; Chiffon. county. where Clanton and Jemison are rivals; Crenshaw county. with representatives from Brantley and Luverne; Cullman county, where the competing towns are Gull man and Hanceville, Such delegations as were appointed to appear yesterday and were unable to obtain audience will be heard today.
 The team spent the day resting for tomorrow's battle.

Oil TRUST MUST
PRODUCE LETTERS
Documents Alleged to Show
Methods of Octopus Ordered
Brought Into Court

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o-Frank B,
Kellogg, special deputy attorney gen.
eral, who is prosecuting the govern
ment's suit against the Standard oil
company Of New Jersey. resorted to the
United States circuit court today to
force the production of letters he had
previously demanded from c. I. Col
lings, second vice president of the
Standard oil company of Kentucky. The
government lawyer obtained from
Judge Ward a subpoena ordering Col
lings to produce the missing letters.
This was served on the Standard off,
cial as he left the witness stand, where
he had been testifying before Special
Examiner Franklin Ferriss.
The letters demanded by the govern
ment are about 40 in number and were
written by NJ. Maxon. a Standard agent,
to the late w. G. Elliott, formerly a
stenographer in Ceilings Cincinnati Of
fee.
They dealt with alleged sums which
the government charged were paid by
the Standard oil company of Kentucky
to its agents for the purpose of buying
information as to competitors ship
ments. This information in some cases,
the government alleges, was bought
from railroad employees, oil inspectors
and others. This. however. is denied
by the Standard oil company.
On being served with the subpoena
Ceilings said he would not say whether
the letters. would be produced or not
until he had chance to confer with
counsel. The court order states that
the letters must be produced in court
on Monday morning.

jAPAN'S FINANCES
ARE IN NEW HANDS
Katsura Takes Hold as Premier
and Outlines a Policy
of Economy

TOKYO, Sept. 10.-Marquis Katsura,
the new premier, outlined a policy of
rigid economy for Japan in an address
tonight before the Bankers club.
He declared that the patriotism Of
the people of Japan was as necessary
now when economy was necessary to
restore credit and confidence as it had
been during the Russian Japanese war.
The marquis declared he had found the
economic and financial conditions of the
government and the people as yet un-
restored and it was therefore absolutely
necessary that the government and the
people unite in common effort in the
national interest. He said:
Existing conditions show that the
permanent revenues are less than the
permanent expenditures and therefore
national loans have been floated to meet
the deficiencies, but the time has been
reached when the government finds diff
fculty in borrowing the sums neces-
sary for this purpose. Consequently it
is time for the nation to call a halt in
order TO restore confidence. A COM
plete balance between the national in
come and the national expenditure must
be effected.
Since receiving my appointment l
have investigated the situation thor
oughly and have determined, with the
help of the entire country, to place it's
finances on sound basis by efYecting
complete readjustment of expendi-
lures"
In conclusion, he said that the policy
or the government, now absolutely
flNed, would place the worlds hope of
peace on surer foundation. and he
asked the cooperation of the country's
united business interests and the con-
fidence of the outside world.
