Counsel Alfred Tunstall. appeared in behalf of the petition to allow the train to be removed.
 The citizens said that the canceiia- ton of this train. meant harking back to the old conditions on the Southern Railway between Selma and Akron when, they claimed. the conyeniences of travel for Greensboro. Marion and all the other intermediate points were recognized to be among the worst in the State They alleged that the train gave needed advantages in traveiing between their respective towns and Birmingham, Mobile. Meri- dian, Miss, and Montgomery.
 Mir. Thompson. of the Southern Rail- way spoke briefly of the heavy bur dens that have recently come upon the carrier by vfrture of depression in business told Of how the railroad is losing. money by the operation of the train in question andl declared that the so-calIed inconveniences that would re- suit of the discontinuance of this eervice had been exaggerated by coun- sel, for the citizens. and by the pett- lions of the citizens themselves. He argued that the service between the points and Selma and Montgomery would not be impaired. On tn econ trary, by a encouragement of the schedule of the. other trains. travel to the latter points would be bettered. X Figures were submitted to show that the operation of the train has been at a loss. Promise was made. to restore the service as soon as business war ranted 1t. A9
 The petition of the Southern Rail way to close down the station at Pat ton on their line in Alabama was also heard yesterday by the Commission.

PUBLICITY OF NAVY
ADMIRAL THOMAS MAKES UNUs-
 UAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Believes Tint Public 1s Entitled tC Know Everything Concerning Navy That is Consistent
 With its Welfare.

Magdalena Bay. April 2, via San Di ego, April 7.-Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas. temporarily in command of the Atlantic fleet since the deoarture of Admiral Evans. is busily engaged in getting the multitudinous affairs of the fleet in hand.
 T shall not remove permanently to the Connecticut" said Admiral Thomas 'I shall take with me only what I require for a few weeks. maintaining my quarters on the Minnesota in case I should wish to come back to them, It is Admiral Evans's intention to re- join the fleet as soon as he Is able to do so."
 Admiral Thomas made rather an un- usual pronouncement regarding pub licity affecting the fleet.
 Tt always has been my belief he said, that the public is entitled to know everything concerning the navy that Is consistent with its welfare There are, of course, many matters of a technical nature which must be kept a secret from foreign powers but these are usually of a kind in which the country would not be interested par ticularly any way,
 Tt is the peoples navy. This Is the peoples fleet. There Is no reason why we should conceal from them what we are doing so long as essential mih- tary secrets are kept intact. I think 1t would be better for the people of the United States and better for thH

sENATE'S PROGRAM
NO MORE SESSIONS UNTIL NEXT
 WEEK.
There Are No Measures on Calendar That are Regarded as of Pressing Charscter-An
 Early Adtournmenf.

Washington, April 1.-The Senate to- day adjourned until Thursday and on that day will take another. adjourn ment until Monday,of next week. This program was arranged today by the Republican leaders for the req son that there are not now on the cal- endar any measures that are regarded as of a pressing character and which are likely to be enacted this session.
 The unfinished business is bill by Mr. Gamble to regulate the settlement of the accounts between the United States and several States relative to the disposition of the public lands. It fs understood that this bill will not be passed at this session and that the oth- CT public land bills on the calendar. such as the one to provide an enlarged homestead, will also go over until next session at least. The Gamble bill, it is declared, would cost the Government millions of dollars. the exact amount being indeterminable. The indications are that there will be little legislation from now on except the appropriation bills, and it is not impossible that Congress will be ready to adjourn at some time between May IS and May 30. The slegislation- urged by the President, including the bill amending the Sherman anti-trust laws which is before Congress as the Nation al Civic Federation bill is believed by the leaders to be doomed. The fact that organized labor does not appear to be satisfied with the measure is the reason given for the lukewarm attitude of Republican members of Congress to- ward the proposed legislation. The majority leaders do not disguise the fact that debate solely for the purpose of making political capital is thing to be. avoided.
 An employers liability bill is one of the measures that stands a good chance for enactment it is believed. although the bill passed by the House Is not sat isfactory to the Senate. It is thought likely that this measure will be ma teriaiiy amended and conference Is depended upon to harmonize the differ ence of the two bodies
 Many members of the House have designs on the Aldrich currency bill and plan to load it down with amend- ments. Such a course would result in throwing that bill immediately into conference and if no agreement could there be reached along the lines of the bill as 1t was when 1t left the Senate, 1t would be permitted to die in con- ference. There is no doubt that the temper of the Senate Is such that if a financial bill is to be passed. 1t must practically be in the form agreed upon by that body. It Is clear that no bill would be accepted from the House which attempts to go beyond the ener- gency needs and to revise the entire currency system.

MIXED TRAIN
 IS ORDERED West AlabanianS Make the Protest. ON SELMA AND AKRON BRANCH Railroad Officials Say Trains Arc. Run atLoss. Rsiiroad Commission Heard Through Discussion of Southern Request For Discontinuance of Losing Trains--selma Was Earnest In Protest.
 
ON SELMA AND AKRON BRANCH

The petition of the Southern Rail- way to discontinue the double daily passenger train running between Sel- ma and Akron was denied in part yes- terday afternoon by the Alabama Rail- road Commission. Instead of -be.ng al- lowed to remove the trains completely. the Commission hit upon a compromise between the road patrons and the car- rier. Instead of running daily, the passenger trains the order of the Com mission is to- operate mixed train daily.
 It is figured that this passenger and freight service will be satisfactory to the shippers along the Selma Akron line. The reduction of the passenger service, it is believed, will not be nearly so bad as if the trains were cancelled altogether. and at the same time the operating expenses of the railroad are materially reduced by the order.
 Urgent protests were filed with the Commission against the removal of tn e passenger daily trains between Selma and Akron. The Commission set aside yesterday especially to hear the argu- ments of both sides of the petition.
 The leading protests have come from the citizens and officials of Greensboro and Marion. The delegation which came to Montgomery yesterday to ap- pear before the.; Commission in behalf of their cause consisted of John A Ansley, Mayor of Greensboro, Mir. Howzes of Marion and J. B. Ellis, of Selma. These gentlemen were before the Commission to testify that the dis continuance of the train running be- tween Selma and Akron would work hardships upon the citizens of each city which he represented. ..

FIXES IN LIMESTONE.
Road Commission is Pleased With Progress.

Progress.
 Athens. April 7.-Special) 1.-The road commission reports the progress on the new bikes being built under its direc- tion. as progressing finely. Several miles of finely graded road has been made, and is ready for the gravel. The roadbed constructed meets the appro- val of all who have passed over 1t, and if nothing more was done to 1t. the money would have been wisely spent.
 It Is the purpose of the commission to build each of the ten roads leading into Athens five miles each from the Court Square. and then to go as much further as the money will allow, but each is to be built five miles before any further extension is made. This would mean fifty miles of frst-class pike roads for the county if nothing more would result
