Mobile Citisens Oppose Agreement
 With Teasley and Gunter.
 Mobile, April 11.-(Special. )--Robert O. Harirs. William D. Woodruff, Thom- as D. Kettles and John W. Phillips to- day filed a Bill of complaint in the Chancery Court against W. A. Gunter, Jr. and Charles A. Teasley, the BoaEd of Revenue and Road Commissioner, John T. Bauer, President, and the mem bers, who as members of this board, have sold to Gunter and Teasiey the right to collect escaped taxes.
 The petitioners pray that the alleged act that allowed the Board of Reve- nue to enter such an agreement be de- clared invalid. The petitioners claim that Teasley and Gunter are private citizens and are without data to even form an approximately reliable con ception of what such escape taxes are and therefore with such bare informa- tion 1t Is highly probable that such escaped taxes would be greatly in ex- cess of a fair or reasonable compensa- tion for the work done by Teasley and Gunter.
 In the prayer the orators ask that the alleged contract be declared null and void and that the orators, one and all be exempted from any action hereunder; also that the act of the General Assembly be declared void also the Board of Revenue and Road Commissioners be forever prevented or snjoined from making with Teasley and Gunter any contract whereby they are to receive or collect any escaped taxes

WOMEN COMPLETE THEIR WORK IN
 OZARK

 ports--Bishop Hoss wiIt Speak Today.

Ozark. April 1I-(Speciai )-The morning session of the woman's For eign Missionary Society conference met promptly at o'clock this morning with Mrs. E. c. Dowdell. its president. in the chair.
 The devotional exercises were con- ducted by Mrs. W. R. Snead taking her lesson from the Seventh Chapter of Second Kings. and announcing the familiar hymn, Pass Me Not" which was sung with a fervent spirit. Mrs. Lasath lead the prayer.
 After reading and approval of the minutes the conference preceded to take up the order of bushes for the day, which was the reading and refer. ring of the reports of District Secrs taries.
 The call for reports of auxiliariss was made and these papers consumed most of the morning session. The Work and Workers, a drill for practical application in the every day enterprises of the Society, was beauti- fully exempiified by Mrs. K. D. Idps- comb, and proved to be one of the most interesting features of the morning session.
 The Conference Pledge was ably pre- sented by Mrs. Rush and the confer ence and spectators gave to its discua- sion the closest attention. This looks to the pledge of the conference to maintain missions in the foreign fields
 The conference then adjourned the morning session.
 The p, m. session was opened with scripture lesson by Miss Mary Dug gar and prayer by Mrs. c. M Baker
 Unfinished business was taken ur and the secretaries of the remaining districts made their reports. The com mittees appointed on extension of the work. finance. young people. juvenile work, and publication rendered their reports. which were adopted.

 The selection of a place for the next meeting caused considerable de- bate, but Pensacola won and the time was fixed to embrace the second Sum- day in April, 1909.
 This closed the business of the con- ference. but Bishop E. E. Hoss will preach tomorrow and make an address on missions in the evening.

ERROR IS DISCOVERED
AUDITORS WORKING ON MOBILE
 CITY BOOKS.
Report is so Re Made to City Council Monday Night snd Much Inter- est ts Felt.

Mobile. April 1i.--tSpecial )--While an error is apparent as result or the audit of the city's books by Accountants Lyons. Bruce and vidmer. nothing den- mite will be known until Monday night. when the General Council will meet in special session to hear the report of the accountants. who will finish the.r labors between now and then. Rumors of shortage discovered by the accountants few thick and last about places where men gathered. but no officiai vertifcat.on could be had of the manner of the shortage or how much.
 Mayor Lyons. when seen in his office, said. that the amount of the apparent discrepancy was not known by him or by anyone as the auditors have not made complete report. and the exact manner and amount of shortage will not be known until the report of the accountants to the General Council Monday night when the result Of their entire investigation will be made known
 The auditors refuse to give out any thing whatever for publication or to anyone and will not divulge the result of their examination until their fuli report is made.
 Mayor Lyons says that as the report audited covers only the two years rom March, lSU6, to the same Hhohth ii teoo --the years accounted in the DOCKS recently stolen from the city. clerks office--it will be necessary to have an investigation covering the years 1903 to 1906, before any positive statement can be made that the apparent error was other than a technical one.
 When the report of the auditors fs made to the General Council Monday night. and If an apparent discrepancy is charged. an investigation will then in all probability. be ordered. to ascer- tain the exact status of accounts.
 All the books necessary for the in vestigation covering the years 1903 to 1908 are complete, according to the auditors. and if ordered the investiga- ton can proceed with great rapidity. As different accountants have at dif- ferent times during the years in aues- ton gone over the books of the city without discovering any irregularity. 1t Is thought that an investigation into the years from 1908 will prove the er- TOT now discovered to be technical one and easily cleared.

MOBILE WILL ENFORCE
 NINE O'CLOCK LAW

Mobile April I1.-(Special)-with the decision of the State Supreme Court that the prohibition law and 8 o'clock saloon closing laws are con- stitutlonal. Mayor Pat J. Lyons has is- sued orders to the chief of police to strictly enforce the latter, with the re- suit that many men operating grocery stores with a saloon adjoining or in the same room will be forced to erect 6 partition between their saloons and the grocery store to keep within the confines of the law.
 Mayor Lyons received a telephone message from a grocery and saloon man of the city asking what he must do to keep within the bounds of the law, explaining to the Mayor that his saloon and grocery were both in the same room. Mayor Lyons advised him that the law stated specifically that places where liquors are dispensed could not be kept open. even though not In use. and advised that a parti- ton between the two places be erected which will be done
 This will effect many persons in the city. especially those with business places on the outskirts as these, almost without a single exception, operate the saloon and grocery in the same room. Some down town places will also come under the ruling as they operate res taurants and saloons in the same room, and even if a door is the only entrance from one to the other. Mayor Lyons states, according to his understanding of the law, must also be closed and no entrance of any kind kept open af- ter g o'clock at night.
 Chief of Police Rondeau has received both verbal and written instructions from the Mayor to enforce the law and he in turn has instructed his men to arrest all persons with saloons or places where liquors are dispensed af- ter o'clock at night, the off1cers hay ing been advised of the exact demands of the law.

CONGRESS
Summary of House.


 washington. April 11.--pebate on the naval appropriation bin in the House of Representatives today resolved it. self in the main into the discussion of tho possibilities of q war between the United States and Japan.
 In line with his well known views on the subject, Mir. Hobson (Ala.) pleaded for four battleships instead of two for the next fiscal year and point cd out that from now on the United States should have a fixed policy with regard to naval construction. A war between the yellow and white races he regarded as inevitable, and he as- serted that Japan's present military activity was with a view to the su- premacy of the Pacific and as a nat ural consequence there would be 6 clash at arms with the United States. On the other hand Messrs Burton lO.), and W. W. Kitchin (N. C.), disputed the contention, each of them avowing that the clash not only would not come but that the United States should re- main in the forefront of modern civ ilization as the exponent of peace.
 Others who spoke were Messrs. Lil- ley (conn. who criticised the Navy Department for maintaining several useless navy yards; Gill (Md.), who denounced the President for his treat ment of Rear Admiral Brownson; Daw- son (Ia.). who advocated the consol- idation of several bureaus of the Navy Department; Loud (Sdich.). who fa- vored a naval program of two battle ships a year for ten years: Smith (Texas). who made a general assault on the Republican Party; o'Connell (Mass.) who declared himself in fa- vor of four battleships, and Ferrtss | (Ok.) who condemned the dealings in futures in bucket shops and elsewhere in farm products.

STOLE POLICE BOOK
MOBILE YOUNG MAN PLAYS PRAc-
 TICAL JOKE.
William Martin Took Docket from Ser seant's Desk and Hid It---says
 He Was Drunk

Mobile, April 1f.--fSpeciaf. )--Many bold thefts have been committed in the city within the past three months sev- eral having been pulled off within a stones throw of police headquarters but William Martin. a young white man. who stole the docket of police headquarters early Saturday morning achieved for himself the distinction oi being bolder than the rest.
 While there was no one in the back part of the station Friday night Mar tin entered, took the sergeant's docket carried it to the front of the patrol house, pitched it among the flowers planted there. and made his way of up the street.
 The theft was discovered almost inn mediately after it was committed and several officers started in pursuit of Martin. He dodged into an alley on Conti Street between St. Emmanuel and Conception. but was found by the of- ficers. He was taken to headquarters where a charge of grand larceny was placed against him. The case was called in Recorders Court but was con- tinued at the request of Chief Ron- deau.
 Rondeau. who Is a timberman. freely admitted having gotten the docket. He took it, he claims. for the purpose of playing a joke on the members of the night force on duty at the station, all of whom he knows. He says he had been drinking and was standing on the front steps of the police station. when he saw Night Turnkey Sheridan leave the rear of the station and go into the sergeant's office. It was then. Martin says, that the idea of stealing the docket came to him. He went to the rear of the station. entered, and before Sheridan had returned took the docket. He passed out through the ambulance house and pitched the heavy book in the small flower garden in front of the ambulance house.
 As he was leaving the station the attention of some of the officers was attracted to him and they immediately gave chase. Martin lodged into an al- ley running on Cont Street only a short distance from the station. but he was soon located by the ofiicers who were searching for him. He told them where he had pitched the book.
 It Is understood that in view of the fact that the young man was drinking an effort will be made by his friends to have the charge against him chang ed to a plain drunk.
