THE CALHOUN TRIAL
MOBILE WOMAN TO FACE A JURY
 TO-DAY.
she is Charged With the Poisoning of Her Husband, Joseph Cal- houn, Driver of . Laun-
 dry Wagon.

Mobile. Nov. 22.-(Speciai )--By far the most important trial that has been brought to the bar In the City Court for some years. will open tomorrow when Mrs Alice Calhoun will face q Jury in the City Court on trial for her life, charged with the murder by pois- onlng of her husband, Joseph Calhoun.
 A lengthy array of witnesses have been summoned ana their testimony will be. taken. A special venire> of two hundred jurors has been drawn from which to select jury but 1t Is thought this will be exhausted and another venIre drawn before the twelve jurors who will try the woman are secured
 It will be remembered that Calhou who was a laundry wagon driver, was taken suddenly Ill while on his route one day and was forced to leave his wagon. He made his way to the of- fee of physician where he sat down to await the return of the physician who was out. Seated only a few min utes. he was seized with convuIsions and died before medical atd could reach him.
 The Coroner sent the stomach of Calhoun to the State Chemist and he returned 1t with the result of his ex- animation a report that arsenic poison had been found. The Coroner then held hearing and the jury found. a verdict that he came to his death from poisoning at the hands of people un- known. Shortly after the grand jury went to work and among the cases ina vestigated. was that of Mrs. Calhoun with the result that true bill was re- turned against her and she was ar. rested and denied bali.
 Mrs Calhoun. a middle-aged woman has remained In jail several months awaiting trial but the result will be known tomorrow whether she will be free or whether q verdict of guilty will be found. John W. McAlpine. of the firm of Webb and McAlplDe will defend Mrs Calhoun. while Solicitor Francis J. Inge will represent the State. While not definite, 1t is rumored that the defense has one witness whose testimony will upset the States prose- cution as this witness Is prepared to testify that Mir. Calhoun bought arsenic just before he died so suddenly.

 Appropriation for the Town.
 Gulfport, Miss, Nov 22--.Special.)- )- Congressman Eaton J. Bowers, in an address before the Gulfport Commercial Union, stated that he believed there would be no difficulty in. getting imme- diately through Congress the bill rec commended by the Rivers and Harbors Commission at the last session. giving Gulfport an appropriation of $200,000 with a dredge boat for this harbor and Ship Island Pass alone.
 The revised freight rate on cotton and other products, which puts GuIfport in competition with Mobile and New Or leans. would. he said, be \ powerful factor in securing this appropriation. and he spoke tn. glowing terms of Gulf ports future as one of the leading Southern export points. The work of immediately pushing this appropriation through will pc taken up by Mir. Bow CTS as soon as he returns to Washing ton.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Nov. 22.--Dealings in Stocks last week contracted to daily average of but little more than a million shares at the New York Stock Exchange, compared with the aver age of upwards of a million and a half shares day for the week pre- cedlng.
 There was much uncertainty in the price movement in contrast with the uniformly strong upward movement following the Presidential election. The conviction remains unaItered that the situation is adjusted to a steady resumption of business and industrial actiyty in all lines. The restoration of general confidence, which followed the elections brought into the market a miscellaneous demand which af- forded a medium for distribution of these accumulations at large profits. The process was pursued with skill and caution. and undoubtedly with manipulative accompaniment in the stock market. s
 An incentive to conversion of stock holdings into cash Is the preparation for large Issues of new capital, which are coming out, like the Panama ca nal bond issue of the United States government. the New York City bond issue. a Korean-Japanese loan and an Indian loan in London. The Illinois Central bond issue and Philippine railroad issue in New York are the prelimfnaries to a long line of impor- tant applications for new capital from railroads which are looked for in the

REICHSTAG DEBATE
AND RADICALS INTRO
 DUCB MOTIONS.
They Demand Changes in the C0msti- tuition. Giving the Sole Power
 to the Reachstag to Declare War.

Berlin. Nov. 22.-The debate in the Reichstag on the motions introduced hy the Socialists and Radicals, demanding changes in the Constitution, with the object of making the Chancellor and Ministers responsible to Parliament and giving the sole power to the Reichstag to declare war, will prob- ably begin on December'2. The debate is expected to last one day. or two at the most.
 The Advanced Liberals. whose aim is to convert the German Parliament system into a Government responsi- ble to Parliament, do not anticipate cause in the days when feeling ran the highest, the party leaders would not agree to urge even the simplest resolution of censure or inquiry. The Radicals and Socialists count upon making their first great campaign in the elections of 1912. unless the House Is dissolved sooner.
 The power of the associated mouar- chies, forming the German Empire, is entrenched in. two principal ways-in the Bundesrath, which has equal leg islative powers with the Reichstag, and in the Conservative and Clerical parties, which have, under the ancient system of the Reichstag electoral dis tricts, the means for holding the ma yOTILy Tn tudL DOuy Oy dOOuI ouc-tAlto the votes cast.
 The Bundesrath which consists of Afty-eight members appointed by the Sovereigns of the States of Germany, except one each from Hamburg. Ere. men and Luheck, stands directly across the path of a government responsible to the elected representatives of the people.
 The kings. grand dukes. dukes and princes, who rule the federate states, also through the ministers responsible to them alone. while willing to unite in limiting the freedom of initiative and speech on the part of the King of Prussia, as Emperor, are one with him in their determination to resist repre- sentative government. Fourteen votes in the Bundesrath against any amend ments to the Constitutlon will suffice for it's rejection. The Emperor as King of Prussia, nominates seventeen of the members and. as a consequence, there is no possible chance for the adoption of an amendment without his Tine Radicals and Socialists do not doubt that by cutting off the money appropriations of the Reichstag they could in the end compel the united monarchs to grant full rep
