Ensley, January 26.-(special.)-T meeting of the Ensley District Sunday School association held this afternoon at the First Presbyterian church was most successful one. The programme was fully carried out, the music rendered by the choir being especially flne w. R. Stewart presided. After prayer by Rev. B. B. Glasgow, he introduced Judge Jo seph Cartel of Montgomery who made fine address on Sunday school work. Judge Cartel explained at length the methods of taking the Sunday school census and the benefits derived from it. Miss Annie Williams spoke on primary work in the Sunday school and made a most interesting and instructive address. J. s. Bridges also addressed the meeting on the work of young people in the Sun day school and his address was able and forceful. All the schools in the Ensley district were represented by the several superintendents.
 It Is the intention to have the census of all the schools in the county taken the same day. A meeting will be called next week of the local superintendents and Sunday school workers to formulate the plans and arrange the details of the work. Time and place of meeting will be announced later.

TIGERS TO
 BE TRIED TODAY
Much Interest Centers in Hearing of Girard Cases at Seale-Law and
 Order League Dynamited.

Girard, January 26.-(Special. )-Tomor- row Is the time set for the preliminary trial of the seven persons who were ar rested here three or four days ago charged with running blind tigers in this city. The trials will take place before Probate Judge IT. T. Benton at Scale, and a good many people will attend from Girard, including large delegation from the Law and Order league of this city. be represented by able attorneys, and as the Law and Order league has employed good lawyers as counsel, quite a legal battle Is anticipated.
 One or two of the warrants have not yet been served, owing to the disappear ance of the defendants
 Interest in the outcome of the trials is intense, and the matter is the one topic. There has been no further excitement since the bomb explosions of Friday night when prominent members of the Law and Order league were given such a deafen ing serenade. The exact facts about these dynamite outrages have not yet leaked out. The fact that they occurred when they did and where they did is, of couse, regarded as significant, but on the other hand many believe that the explosions were simply the work of mischievous boys, who took advantage of the condi- tions to touch off dynamite at points where it would produce the greatest sen- sation. This theory is heightened by the fact that year or two ago similar bomb explosions occurred here.

BRYAN DOES NOT
 DISCUSS POLITICS
CLAIMS THAT IT IS HIS RULE TO ESCHEW POLITICAL DISCUS SONS ON SUNDAY-WILL CON- FER WITH MEMBERS TODAY.

Washington, January 26-Contrary to ex- pectation, w. J. Bryan did not, accord ing to his statement, discuss the subject of politics with democratic party leaders today. It had been understood that MT. Bryan would confer with his supporters in both houses of Congress, at which time his position as to the presidential nomi- nation would be discussed and definite decision reached. MT. Bryan did how ever, see a number of prominent demo- crats during the day but he said that they were social calls. and that he did not talk presidential politics with any body, and moreover that he did not come here for that purpose. MT. Bryan de- clined also to discuss politics with news paper men, replying to all inquiries for his views that it is his inevitable rule to eschew politics on Sunday.
 MT. Bryan delivered an address at the First Presbyterian church this morning and took luncheon with the pastor, the Rev. Donald c. Mcleod This afternoon he called at Providence hospital to see District Commissioner West. an old friend, who is convalescing from a recent operation. Tonight he spoke on "Mis- sons" at the Mount Pleasant Congrega- tional church.
 MT. Bryan will go to the capitol to- morrow, and will hold informal confer ences with democratic senators and rep resentatiyes.

Through Death Valley"

A Mormon elder with many wives, the elders nefarious son, manly young miner who declines to eat out of the Mormon hand, a spirited American girl who objects to entering one of the Utah domestic harems, and good and a bad Indian, are leading characters in Through Death Valley" melodrama which will be seen at the Bijou this week. This piece has created something of a furore all along the popular-price line. It has one climax which even the hard shell New York dramatic critics lauded and recommended to their readers. The piece, while dealing with the Mormon sit- uation in a most vigorous fashion, smacks strongly of the flavor of the mountains and plains. Adventure follows adventure until finally virtue attains it's usual melo- dramatic reward and the villains go down to death and destruction.
 The usual matinees will be given.
