SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

The rebellion at Hayti has about
reached it's climax. The president s
palace has been seized by the rebels and
the president, NOrd Alexis, made to
take refuge on board a French warship.
The president was compelled to leave
his palace after all his friends and of
ficials had deserted him and the presi-
dency was forced on General Legitime
who led the successful rebels against
the president.
The people of Hayti seem to think
that a certain foreign country is try
ing to annex their country. A bulletin
was published stating that the presi-
dent would have given up before he did
had it not been for foreign diplomat
who was working for the benefit of his
own country.
The revolution being an internal af-
fair other countries should not interfere
unless necessary for the protection OF
their citizens and property. At present
the United States, France, Germany,
and England have warships in the har-
Dor of Port Au Prince, to protect their
interests.

Moore. of Philadelphia, says: AT the
first blush it might seem as though the
speaker had too much power under the
rules. but when it is remembered that
there are nearly four hundred members
of the House, who introduced at the
last session about $1,000 separate bills,
it can be seen that the line must be
drawn somewhere. 1t would be phys

stances for Congress to act upon all
matter presented. With a majority of
lawyers in the House. many of them

constitution and Supreme Court decis-
ions. it would be out of the question

MIR. Cannon has only followed the GUS
toms of the speakers before him in his
rule with an iron hand over the repre-
sentatives. but as this is an age of
development it may not be a bad idea
to try a new system of rules for the
speaker to abide by.

WeH BeI0bed Chaplain
 Leabes For His WeD Work
BY BURR BLACKBURN.

The "best beloved man in the Birming- ham district" has been called away to new home. While it might be hard to choose the best loved woman in Bir- mingham, there are few who do not rec-- ognize the title as that belonging to the Rev. J. J. D. Hall.
 The man shines through his counten- ance in such volume that strength and hope seem to fill the very air as he passes by. To see Dr. Hall go through a street of Birmingham is to see highway trans formed. Always in big hurry, full of life and energy, yet he is ever ready to shake the hand and bubble over some of his spirit into the empty heart of his fellow.
 Everybody knows him. Everybody speaks to him. Some men speak, shake hands and make comments on the weather, but in moment Dr. Halls says something that counts His listener joins in and says something, too, and moment later they are going their separate ways, the one wearing smile and pr.

MYSTERIOUS TEN
 GIVING MATINEES
Negro Secret Organizations Are In Court Trying To Make
 Officer Disgorge.

The United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten have been giving splendid matinees during the last two or three days in Judge Benners' division of the inferior court. The cause of all the trouble appears to be c. A. Howze.
 Jennie Houston, a member of the feminine side of these two negro or ganizations, has charged dat Brudder Howe have collected but failed to re- init" Howze, it appears has been grand master of these two orga niza- tions, which are connected in some mysterious way. for the past nine years. Jennie charges that he has failed to allow the organization any credit for charter fees and the like which he has collected during the past five wears, and wants him put in jail for it.
 These organizations have been in- creasing at the rate of 10 to 25 new lodges every year. The charter fee is $1O and other fees greatly increase this amount, making the amount derived from them during the past five years reach to several thousand dollars.
 Judge Benners' courtroom has had the appearance of being the gathering place of all of Birmingham's Ethiopian population during the last few days. Several witnesses have been placed on the stand, a large number are still t' be examined, and the case will probably last for several days yet.

YIELDING IS OUT
 FOR COMMISSIONER
ISSUE SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY WELL DEFINED IN POLICE DEPART MENT RAcE-REGIsTRATIoN BE- GINS TOMORROW.
HARRY JONES,

The announcement of F. B. Yielding for police commissioner yesterday prac- tically closed the entries in what promises to be real battle. It is a hand-down fight between Wier Seals and Yielding on the one side and Bodeker, Copeland and Parker on the other. The issue is in the men and their previous records. MT. Yielding, who announced yesterday, is the man who fought the typewriter" dis missal of Wier, and insisted that Wier should be retained in the office to which he was elected by the people.
 MT. Yielding stated that he is for the enforcement of every law the statute books, and that If elected he will give the people d good police force, made up of men eager to enforce the law. He is one of the most popular men in the city.
 There will be few other announcements. Candidates are now getting headquarters and proceeding systematically with their campaigns.
 The registration books are now open every day unHl Saturday from a. m. to ' D. m., and on Saturday they will re- main open until 10 o'clock. Every man in Birmingham will have to register. They will have to show life certificates or county registration certificates and. poll tax receipts, otherwise take certain oaths showing that they are qualified electors. The lists will be examined every night The registrars met yesterday at noon and received instructions. The sub committee has definitely settled that the registration for the Second ward shall be taken at 1726 Fourth avenue, vacant building, the third from the corner. The Fourth ward will be in the Northside Pressing club, and the Eleventh at Ellis drug store.

TWO COMPANIES
 SIGN THE SCALE
Majority of Commercial Operators Will Resume Tomorrow On Open
 Shop Basis.

It was stated yesterday at the head quarters of Alabama district No. 20. United Mine Workers of America, that two commercial coal companies had signed the union scale, but the officials in charge decline to disclose the names of the com- panies. It is understood, however, that the Palos Coal and Coke company and the Braehead Coal company are the con cerns that have entered into new con- tract for the F months dating from July l.
 The old wage scale called for 571s cents ton for cutting coal and the new scale is for 50 cents.
 A notice is said to have been posted by the United Mine Workers yesterday call ing a strike Monday against the commer cial operators who refuse to sign the scale Several of the large commercial companies which shut down on July will resume tomorrow on the "open shop" plan. Others will remain shut down for needed repairs until the middle or end of the month.
 All the furnace companies are operating ''open shop mines, and the officials of those companies report that they are well satisfied with results. The Corona Coal and Iron company and other large com mercal companies in Walker county have for a long time operated independent of the union. Officials of such of the com mercial companies as signed with the United Mine Workers a year ago but which are about to resume on the open shop basis report that they have assur- ances from a sufficient number of miners to work at full capacity.
 The commercial operators who refused to sign the new scale said they were sim ply unwilling to pay more than the fur mace companies were paying, namely 471a cents

school at Troy, and from there he went to Noble Institute, Anniston, as principal of the grammar school, where he re- mained until 1892. He then entered the Theological Seminary of Virginia at Alexandria, and during his senior year was president of the Missionary society, the highest honor in the fight of the stu dents. He was twice offered Pohick church, the parish church of Mt. Vernon, but did not accept.
 His first charge was the Episcopal churches at Troy and Union Springs, Ala. and after five years ministry he was ap- pointed state evangelist, but illness com pelled him to resign the post soon after its beginning.
 Dr. Hall came to Ensley in February, 1902, as rector of St. Johns church. In the more than six years that have inter- vened he has wrapt himself in the affec- tions of the people of Ensley so com- pletely that it will be sad rending when he leaves. But last Sunday every congregation in the city united in fare we'll service, but they could not express to him their sorrow at his leaving.
 Miss Julia Tutwiler is responsible for his greatest work. She urged him to visit Pratt Mines, and he immediately saw that field open to his talent On March l, 1904, he was appointed by Governor Jelks local chaplain for Pratt and Flat Top.
 People have wondered how it is that Birmingham should remain as good as she is, with the dumping ground of all Ala bama's criminal life at her very door. Marvel that she has not been reeking with 10 times more blood than she has known, but not so, when it is known that Dr. Hall has saved murderers to straight lives.
 He will leave one day this week to as- sume the work in the Philadelphia Gallee Rescue Mission, one of the largest and best equipped in America, located in the darkest district of the great city. Here he will have an even better opportunity 10 reach the down and out flock and to give them help and cheer.

oreds of converts, the scores who have left the mines and begun right lives, as well as the clear conscienees and Chris tan faces which can be found at the hines are sufficient testimony to the man. ner in which he has carried 1t out. He has always proceeded on the ground that the men in prison are the weak, sick chill dren of the state, that character rather than revenue should be the thing sought after in dealing with them.
 James Jefferson Davis Hall, reared in the country, in the furrow with an OK, by faithful parents, was early filled with 6 restless, hungry spirit. He was born IF Greenville, Ala, on October IS, 1864, and removed to Geneva when five years of age.
 Here he was 60 miles from the nearest railroad, and without any of the harmful effects of city life he grew to be IS years of age, and much of the time was spent in following an OK. He only attended school q few months Tn the summer, but learned rapidly, and at 19 was able to teach country school. In 1887 he attended one term of five months at the State Normal

BOYS STILL HAVING
 BIG TIME IN CAMP
SWIMMING HOLE IS ONE OF THE CHIEF ATTRACTIONS FOR THE YouNGsTERs-MoRE THAN 500 MEALS HAVE BEEN SERVED.

An average of 30 boys have had the time of their lives during the past two weeks at the Boys club camp, located at the artesian wells near Gate City. Under the watchful eyes of Secretary Maurice Willows and Assistant Secretary J. M. Graham the boys have gone in swim ming played ball and enjoyed life in healthy way.
 Three big sleeping tents and a cook tent have been erected near the wells, and here the boys sleep with sound- ness which only healthy exercise and re- taxation can produce. The wells form an ever-fowing stream and few hundred yards from the camp is located one of the best swimming holes in Jefferson county.
 All sorts of games have been arranged for the boys, but baseball has eclipsed all others. And even then the youngsters can hardly wait to finish a game be- fore they take plunge into the swim ming hole. With it all the boys have shown that they were perfect little men, and wanton conduct has been unknown.
 Over 800 meals have been served in the camp during the two weeks it has been in existence While practically all of the boys remain in the camp there are many who run out from the city to spend the day A charge of S1.5O per week is assessed against each boy, which is hardly more than half of the actual expense incurred
 The ladies who have labored so hard to make the Boys club a. success are taking great interest in the camp, and are constantly visiting it. A number of Birmingham people have spent the day at the camp. and several picnics have also been held there.
 Among the visitors was Judge Feagn, who spent last Sunday at the camp. This great friend of Brmingham's coming generation is greatly interested in the Boys club, and at the camp made fast friends with all the boys.
 The boys have proven themselves gall 1ants of the first water. One day last week a beautiful young lady visited the camp and found the boys with such generally neat appearance that she couldn't resist kissing the youngest ones. The larger boys were not to be cheated, however and 1t was absolutely neces- sary for the young lady to kiss every body on the place before she could get away.
 A number of the picnics held in the vicinity have carried groups of little girls, and according to all reports, the boys developed nothing less than heroes in these little girls eyes.
 A Peoples phone has been placed at the camp, the number of which is POI, Wood lawn

On account of the absence of the military boys just at that time several hundreds votes will be lacking.

 To know him Is to love him, and it is the big heart of Greater Birmingham that he is taking with him to Philadelphia.
 Dr. Hall numbers his friends among all classes. Not only the ladies who are as- sociated with him in his labors, but the women in the shops, the stores and the homes of the district know and hate to see him go
 Hardly street car man but knows and loves him, while he numbers among his both in Ensley and Birmingham. How ever, it is among the criminal classes that his greatest work has been done.
 'The good chaplain has sought to lift up the men who come from the dark mines each day, to give them part of that new power and inspiration which seems born anew in him each day.
 For four years he has been the friend and counselor of every prisoner that re- ceived the sentence of hard labor, and was turned over to the Tennessee com pany. At his call they gather each day and with song and praise begin the day s labor. He is the comfort of the sick in the hospital and the help of the maimed who are crippled while under the earth.
 q consider it one of the greatest priv ileges of my life to have been assigned by Providence to the duty of ministering to so many of Gods wayward,'' he said one day when questioned about the pleas ure of his work. 'I never think of or speak of them as conyicts. They are Gods wandering children. for whom Christ died waiting and longing for the touch of a heart full of love to bring them back to peace and honor"
 Such has been his mission, and the hum
