.FORAKER MEN HIT
 TAFT FOLLOWERS
Mass Meeting is Called to DiS-
 place Committee
AGAINST ONE MAN POWER
Third Element In the Situation In Cleveland Is the So-caIled Roose- welt Committee Which Has
 Become Active.

Cleveland, O., January 1.-The first stroke of the Foraker followers here was made today, when in a mass meeting a committee was selected to displace the regular" republican county executive committed
 The question of the legality of the com mittee selected as against the regular committee said by the Foraker support CTS to be a Taft organization, will now be placed in the hands of the county boards of elections. The claims of the so- called Roosevelt committee, a third ele- ment in the local situation, also rests in the same situation. It will be the duty Of the board to determine which committee has authority to act for the party in this county. To place the issue squ@rely be- fore the board each committee has issued a call for the republican primaries ,all on the same date. February Il.
 The regular committee, held by the Foraker element to be without authority, precipitated the crisis by filing call for the primary with the board of elections yesterday. Immediately the Foraker fac- ton protested the rights of the committee and issued a call for a convention to se- lect committee. Last evening the Roose- welt organization named a committee. To- day the Foraker committee was named. The board has until next Wednesday to decide upon the merits of each of the three claimants.
 Many policemen were on duty today in the convention hall in anticipation of an encounter between the Foraker side and the followers of Taft, but everything went through unanimously and without hitch.
 Resolutions condemning the regular committee and one-man power in the party were adopted
 At the proposed primaries delegates to the state and national convention will be chosen.

AUTHORITIES AT WAR.
State Officers Want To Compel Federal
 Employees To Work.

Washington, January 11.--A proceed ing regarded as a local interference with the operations of the federal goY- ernment is. reported from Georgia where the authorities of the county ir which St. Oglethorpe is located have arrested five civilion teamsters en- ployed tn ere and living on the reserva- tion in quarters provided by the gov ernment. Tine men have received notice from the court officials that they must work on the country roads for four days in accordance with the law, or pay a certain communication. The men refused to respond to this demand and the hinery of the department of justice has been invoked with view to resisting the requirements on the ground that it would materially inter- fere with the work upon which the men are engaged.

ADJUSTMENT OF
 PASSENGER RATES
important Accomplishment by
 Governor Smith.
SOUTHERN RATESACCEPTED
President Finley Will Put In Low Rates In pril Which Will Affect Whole State of Georgia and
 Be interchangeable.

Atlanta, January 11.-(Speeial 1.-The most important accomplishment of Gov Hoke Smiths administration was an- nouneed this afternoon when the agree ment between the Southern Railway and the Georgia railroad commission for an adjustment of passenger rates in the state upon a basis satisfactory alike to the state and the railroad was made public.
 This agreement, due to the negotiations of Governor Smith, extending oyer a peri od of several months, comes in the shape of an acceptance by the railroad commission through it's chairman. Hon. L. G. McLendon of a definite proposi- tion on the part of President w. w.. Finley of the Southern Railway to put in- to effect in April, the following rates: A flat 21a-cent rate on al the lines of the Southern railroad for intrastate travel. provided that no charge shall be required to be less than 10 cents.
 Two thousand-mile books, intrastate, in terchangable with such of the solvent roads of the state as will consent, at ? cents per mile, good for heads of firms and employees not exceeding a total num-
 
 the time of the purchase of the mileage book and entered thereon
 One thousand-mile books, intrastate and interchangeable at cents per mile limited to one individual and good only in the hands of the purchaser.
 Five hundred-mile books at 2A cents per mile good for heads of families and dependent members thereof, intrastate and noninterchangeab bie., the names of the families to be furnished at the time of purchase and entered thereon
 Mir. Finley further proposed that these rates should be kept in effect for a period Of l2 months so as to give a fair trial with the understanding that the railroad by such trial valves no right to relief should the rates prove to be unjust or confisca- tory. This proposal also meets with the approval of the commission.
 MT. Finley also adds in his proposal to Governor Smith, which has been &C., cepted by the railroad commission, that the Southern Railway company will as soon as practicable after reaching such relatively uniform adjustment of passen- ger rates in the various states proceed to adjust it's interstate rates to points on its own lines in such adjacent states and to other lines as will consent tlSere- to in these other states on the same basis and for a like period of trial, including in this proposed adjustment of inter- state rates the proposed 2-cent mileage books which will be made interstate and interchangeable.
 Chairman McLendons letter to Pres- dent Finley was written today and ac- cepts all the propositions made by the Southern Railway to Governor Smith. This acceptance, as stated in the let ter, will be embodied at the proper time in such order or orders as may be re- quired in the premises.

RECEIPTS FALLING OFF.
Clerk of Police Court Turned In $6
 Yesterday and Warden $1.

The clerk of the police court turned over $6 to City Treasurer EustiS yesterday. Mir Eustis remarked that this was the smallest amount collected by him in years. What was his surprise, however, when the warden of the city jail ap- peared with only s1!
 Last year the court collected over $40,- GOO in fines, or about $4000 per month. Prohibition seems to be working wonders. The fall-off in the assessment of fines since the first has been enormous. By July, when the budget will be made, more than likely the estimate from the police court will have to be cut down to one third

Naval Recruiting Headquarters For
 New Orleans.

Washington, January 11.-A central naval recruiting station is to be opened at New Orleans. That at Memphis, Tenn, and the recruiting office at Lit tie Rock, Ark, are to be closed. The result of the operation of the station at Memphis was not as satisfactory as had been expected. The office at Nashville, Tenn, is to be placed under the recruiting station at Chattanooga The naval recruiting officers reported satisfactory results at various places, notwithstanding the restriction which is imposed by law requiring certificates of birth or something else equally au- thentic concerning the age of the ap- plicants. This has been serious handicap in naval recruiting.

"BrewsteSs Millions" Tonioht
NORTON

6reWsteFS Millions" Toniqht. No one but person with vinegar in his veins could have seen "Brewster's Millions" and not laughed until his sides ached. The strenuous efforts of Monty Brewster to spend every cent of s1.OOO,O00 within one year caused a wave of gen. uine laughter to pass every minute over two large audiences yesterday
 While the company which presented this most exciting drama, comedy, or what ever it is, here yesterday is not the orig ina company, it is hard to believe that the work of Robert ober in the role of Monty" Brewster could be excelled As the trim, up-to-date young American. he was all that could be wished for, while his facial expressions told a story in themselves. He has a pleasant appear ance and was\ so natural and unstagy, that it was hard to realize he was play ing a part.
 Brewster is left s1,OOoOOo by his grand father and shortly after a wealthy uncle dies. This uncle was worth S7.00000o and leaves this money to his nephew with the proviso that he spends every cent of the other million dollars within one year and shows receipt for it. and that he keeps the matter secret. This necessitates an expenditure of over 5000 day, and Brew ster is not allowed to throw the money away.
 He buys an office building, employs all his friends on fabulous salaries, bets on 10 to 1 shots in races, buys stocks that are worthless; stars an actress and opera writer that have always made miserable failures deposits S250,000 in busted bank, and does all sorts of outlandish things, but he can't lose. Everything he does nets him profit.
 Then he buys the yacht Filter and goes for cruise around the world with all his friends. The third act shows the yacht in the Mediterranean sea. The art of the scene maker is well exempli- fled in this act, the full-rgged yacht. the running seas, lighthouses with lights first white then red, and finishing the act with a terrific storm. the white capped flying clouds making one of the most thrilling and beautiful scenes imaginable
 The play is one of those which demands ability on the part of everyone in the company, which is extremely large. Prac- tically every person in it has good speaking part June Mathis as Peggy Grey was very sweet, while the young men who took the part of Brewster's friends were every one good.
 Ober was especially good in the last act which shows him in his house dead broke just after everything about the place has been auctioned off. He appears with "a million dollars worth of receipts and is about to come into his other for- tune when man rushes in and pays him S35 900 two minutes before time is up. He makes his lawyer take it for fec. however, and Is saved.

SUBURBS INTENT ON
 COMING IN AT ONCE

However, judging from the present sentiment, nearly all the outside terri tory will have voted itself into Bir mingham before the primary, as elec- tions are preparing in several of them, and when the race begins, it is likely to be unanimous. In that case the regular democratic primary would be sufficient.
 Alderman Eggleston has written to the mayor of Avondale that he is ready to introduce all the necessary ord1- nances for any of the suburbs As only contiguous territory can be annexed under tn municipal code, the time will necessarily be stretched out over seV- eral months.

cuardina Tobacco Warehouses.

The suburbs are intent upon voting in the next Birmingham primary. Two plans have been suggested to gain sucn an end It is understood that a county judge has rendered an opinion that should the primary be an open one. with out any democratic lines. the law referring to qualified electors would not be affected.
 In other words, the city committees of all the towns could agree on certain rules regulating a Greater Birmingham primary leaving out the party lines, and each candidate entering the pri- mary would have to swear to abide by the results. The rule could include section limiting the candidates to resi- dents of the present Birmingham

Orposed To AIdrich Bill.

Washington, January H.-Thte demo- cratic members of the House committee on banking and currency held a meet ing today for the discussion of the Fow Ter and Aldrich currency bills and voted unanimously to support any motion for hearings on both bills before the full committee It was developed that all of the minority members are opposed to the Aldrich bill because it enlarges the policy of securing currency by the deposit of bonds. Some of them also look with disfavor on the Fowler bill as too revo- lutionary in it's proposal of a complete retirement of all outstanding currency and the substitution of currency se- cured by national bank assets.
