WHO BEAT
THE BATTLESHlPS

bD- w ] 11ob ~ -
REPUBLICAN paper, with no
~ sense of humor, headlines It's
Il 4 Washington report with the
declaration that the Democrats beat
the Presidents desire for four battle
ships instead of two The humor OF
the headlines is in the fact that the
Republicans have majority of both
houses of Congress, while the Demo-
Gratis are in a hopeless minority and
carry about as much weight in a de-
cisive party vote as kindergarten
teacher in prize ring.
Before the battleship question came
to vote in the house, Mr.. Hale. in
the Senate, had given notice Il,
bill for four battleships could not
carry, personally he wanted to limit
new construction to one battleShlp
but compromised on two to avert dlf-
fculty. In the House with the lead
ers yowling about probable deficits
and certain need OF economy, the
members had to choose between
money for the public buildings bill and
money for battleships, naturally pre-
ferred public buildings as having
more campaign influence. So strenu-
Gus was the struggle between the Pres
ident and his party in Congress that
the President threatened to veto the
public buildings bill-the great PIE
distribution unless he got his war
ships The threat was answered by
a frosty vote and the defeat OF one OF
his pet measures.
That is al there is to the talk about
Democratic defeat of the battleship
proposal Less than a hundred Re
publicans voted for the President S
bill, which shows about the measure
of his strength with his own party
in the house when it comes to show
down, and the picturesque feature OF
it was the fact that the President had
to depend upon Hobson, a Southern
Democrat to do the talking for his
ships-Salt Lake Herald.

TOO MUCH RED FIRE
 BY REPUBLICANS

Rome, N. r., October 29-"They are talking prosperity. and the papers tell us that they are going to have great big parade in New York city next Sat- urday night.
 ''They are going to have red fire. They are going to have iIluminations; they are going to have bands, and when was in New York, I saw them building grandstands along the route for the peo- pie who will watch the parade. Why don't they take the money and furnish lodgings at night for the hundreds of men whom I saw sleeping on the benches in the park? I had occasion to ride down Broadway two nights, one time at 2 o'clock and another time at o'clock in the morning, and there were not less than 300 men sleeping in one park on benches and they were protecting them selves from the cold by tying newspapers around their limbs, and while those men have not the money with which to buy lodging,sthe republican party is pouring out its dollars from it's campaign fund on red fire, in order to prove it's boast of prosperity"

Taft for threatening panic in case of his (Bryan's) election and in order to show that the panic was now on the country. The meeting was held at the opera house and MT, Bryan was introduced to his audience by Rev Peabody of the First Baptist church. MT. Bryans theme was "Jusflce' and he said that the democratic party presented a larger hope of justice in government than did the republican party. For this reason, he said, he had a right to expect majority of the votes of the American people.
 The crowd filled the hall to its fullest capacity and after his speech MT. Bryan was compelled to make short address at an overflow meeting outside.

HE HAD BEEN AROUND THE TER MINAL STATION AND, OFFICERS STARTED HIM TO CITY JAIL. THE. BODY AT GAUDINs.

An unknown man, about 50 or 55 years old, fairly well-dressed and apparently a mechanic, died in the patrol wagon yesterday afternoon while en route from the Terminal station to the city jail.
 Shortly after 5:8O o'clock yesterday aft ernoon Capt. J. B. Donelson, the police officer on duty at the Terminal station, noticed the man sitting about the sta- tion. The man finally went out onto the street and sat down on the curbstone. The police officer went out and tried to arouse him but he was in semi-con- seious condition and Captain Donelson was unable to get anything out of him. He sent for the patrol wagon and had the man taken to the city jail.
 Between the Terminal station and the jail the man died. When the jailor opened the wagon to remove the man to the lock up he found him dead. An ambulance was summoned and the remains were carried to the establishment of the Gau- din Undertaking company

UNKNOWN MAN IS FOUND
 DEAD IN PATROL VA CON

Neither at police headquarters nor at the undertaking establishment was there found among the personal effects of the deceased man any papers by which he could be identified. Every effort to identify him proved futile. It is thought, possibly. that the man came to Birming- ham on one of the afternoon trains.
 An examination of the body showed nothing to indicate that the man was drinking, and it is the opinion of the un- dertaker in charge of the remains that he died of apoplexy
 The deceased is foot and inches in height, in weight about 15o pounds, and wears a heavy, sandy mustaohe. His upper teeth are long and separated, with enc missing. He has light blue eyes and light brown hair. He wore a black derby hat, manufactured by Howard, New York; black, light weight wooden suit bought of T. c. King; light colored check shirt, cellulod color, black neektie and black, low cut. plain top shoes.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
 PROF. J.C. WEISNER

Telegrams received from Montgomery at a late hour last night contained the news of the death of Prof. J. c. Weisner.
 From the meager information received 1t is understood that Professor Weisner died very suddenly at hotel from hemorrhage about 10 o'clock last night.
 No definite funeral arrangements were made last night but 1t is understood that the preliminary arrangements will be in charge of the local order of Elks, of which the deceased was member. The remains will probably be brought to Birmingham and then be sent to St. Louis, where rel atives of the deceased reside.
 Professor Weisner was well known here. having resided in Birmingham for num- Der of years. He had gained quite rep utation as a teacher of dancing, and in that capacity had quite a large number of acquaintances here. He was about S5 years old.
 The deceased man resided at the home of Eugene Fies, 17O0 Twelfth avenue. south.

Duties of Bank Receivers.

Washington, October 29.-Purposely re- training from recommending any hard and fast rules for the guidance of receivers because of the need of individual discre- ton as complications arise, the report of the national bank receivers who met in convention here some time ago, as given out by Comptroller of the Currency Mur- ray today, makes general suggestions as to the duties of the receivers on taking charge of failed banks. The report lays great stress upon the need for economy and judgment. The receivers course, the report points out, must be largely gov erned ''by careful and conservative con- alteration of the interest of the real own CTS of the trust which the receivership involves.

Miss Matte Davis and Frank Cullom were struck by an Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic train at Hardwood yester- day about noon, and both sustained in- juries from which physicians state they cannot recover.
 The accident occurred just as the noon whistles of the mines and shops at Park wood were blowing, which drowned the noise of the train. Miss Davis and MT. Cullom were walking together, and were just crossing the railroad tracks when the regular passenger Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic train bound for Birming- ham, came along. The engineer made an effort to stop his train and states that he blew the whistle of his locomotive, but the noise of the other whistles prevented the young couple hearing 1t.
 Internal injuries were sustained by
