 Mir. Hall came we'll recommended TOT the office, it is understood. He Will simply fill the unexpired term or ex- Coliector Cooper which terminates next January, the successor having to be elected at the general election next November.
 The apparent cause of former Col iector Cooper's resignation was the fact that he was reported to be due the State of Alabama the sum of s3.- k77o.53 for taxes collected last year. or rather at the beginning of the cur recent fiscal year. Mir. Cooper, accord ing to the first report of the State Examiner of Public Accounts, was found to be in debt to the State more than $6.000, but he settled for the difference between the amounts leav- ing balance of the sum named.
 While no action on, the part of the State has been announced, it Is un- defstood that the sureties on Mir. Coop CTS bond will be called upon for the amount due from him. Mir. Cooper claims. 1t will be recalled, that the vaults of his ofiice were blown open last December and that robbers car ried- away, the amount said to be due the State.
 The following announcement of no- taries public appointed yesterday was also made: Miss Lucia B. Mcqueen, of Montgomery. and J. P. Day, of Selma.

WILEY STILL IN BED
ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN CON-
 TINUEs TO IMPROVE.
CON-
Tt Is DoubtfuI, However, if He wtil Be fn the House for Some
 Time Has Arranged

Washington. April 25.---(special)--It has been almost three weeks since Rep resentatiye. Wiley was laid flat of his back with severe attack of rheuna- tfsm and he Is still in bed.
 As he has had so little sickness in his life it goes pretty hard with the member from the Montgomery district to feel that in the closing. days of the session of Congress- he Is compelled to absent himself from the House. or course, 1t has been impossible for him to vote upon any, of the important measures that have been disposed of during his illness. but Ines has taken care to have pairs arranged on all questions go that his vote Is not really lost.
 In aiighting from street car about six weeks ago the car got in motion before Colonel wiley's feet had touch ed the ground and he was thrown rather hard upon his backbone of those sudden accidents that a man is not prepared for. and hardly knows how it could have happened. He got severe strain that evening. and as the weather was then raw and dis agreeable here the congressman was full of aches and pains some days
 Then just as he thought he was in good shape again the swelling in the hands and legs commenced. and before he knew 1t he was flat of his back with, infiammatory rheumatism
 On hearing of Colonel wiley's Illness President Roosevelt wrote him the kindest sort of note in which he ex- pressed his deep regret and closed by wishing him a speedy recovery. This note of sympathy was highly appre- ciated by sthe congressman
 Representative Wiley. considering the severity of the case. is getting along as we'll as could be expected. Mrs Wiley is with her husband com stantly, and he also has a trained nurse. and friends call daily to cheer him up.
 His heart action continues perfect and his physician is certain that he will within a few weeks be up and about, but he may not be we'll enough to attend sthe meetings of the House any more this session. Alfred J. Stofer.

BUILDING ACTIVITY LEAVES
NO ROOM FOR THE GRUMBLEE

mo candid observer of the progress and
prosperity of Los Angeles and vicinity has
any reason for grumbling over the progress
of the past year" said C. B. Guenthart,
president OF the Security Building company,
yesterday. Take the record of the build
ing operations and you will find that neariy
or quite a million dollars a month upon an
average has been put into new buildings in
the city alone while operations have by nc
means been at a standstill in adjacent ter
ritory.
For a year of depression that is GER
tainly a remarkable showing. OF course II
has been exceeded in the past but only
when conditions were of the best. There
Is not another city of the size Of Los An
geles that has grown as 1t has grown dur
Ing 1908 Home building has gone steadily
forward here, though many lines of bust
ness and industry have Jared unpleasantly
There could not be better augury of the
future.
considering that it is the holiday sea
son building operations are unusually brisl
just now. There is every prospect that tbs
advent of the new year will stimulate then
to an extent that will recall the most active
period in the city's history.
