in Montgomery. It is known that this is true by the fact that every person who has some of the script puts it in circulation before spending any other money that he might have.
 It has not yet been determined what will be done with the script when all of 1t has been turned in. It Is proba- bie. however, that 1t win be burned. q big bonfire being made of 1t. This will be several weeks yet. however. as there will always be a balance out- standing. due to the loss or tearing up of the money pieces. The outstanding money will probably be divided equally between the banks. or apportioned ac- cording to the amount that each bank issued. There will be a small profit for all of the banks through the loss of the money.

PHYSICIANS DISCUSS
 NEW THEORY
Cooper's Views of Human Stomach
 Noted by Medical Men.

of the facts recently brought to my attention concerning this Cooper medi- cine have gone far toward removing the prejudice I had formed against new ideas and medicines.
 |" Numbers of my patients whom have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stomach troubles have met me and stated that Cooper's menicine has ac- compllshed wonderful results for them. I notice particularly fin cases of stom- ach trouble that the man has relieved several cases that were Of years stand Ing and proved very obstinate to treat ment.
 "T do not wish to stand in the way of something that may be for the pub lie good, simply through professional prejudice, and am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded them in this city"

PRACTICALLY NO SCRIPT
 IN CIRCULATION NOW
Clearing House Association Has Not Yet Decided What VIII Be
 Done With Money.

If there is any script that has not been turned into the banks 1t is in very email quantities, according to state ment made by M. A. Baldwin. Presi- dent of the Montgomery Clearing House Association, yesterday.
 Following the announcement of the clearing house that all banks of the city would redeem the clearing house certificates. no matter which bank had issued them, there was no rush to turn them in for United States currency. This was largely due to the fact that the banks had already commenced re- tiring the script, and larger portion of 1t had already been redeemed.
 Merchants generally report that a piece of script is now very scarce article, and it is probable that days hunt would discover less than $50 of 1t

A recent article in The New orleans Item gives an account of the effect upon fine medical profession of that city with regard to L. T. Cooper's theory that the human stomach is responsible for most III health. The article is as fol- lows:
 'The astonishing sale of Cooper's preparation in this city has now reach d such immense figures that the med teal fraternity have been forced into open discussion of the mans theories and medicines.
 with regard to the young mans sue cess in New orleans-some being will inE to credit h.m for what he has ac- cofnplished. while others assert that the interest lie has aroused Is but a passing fad that will die out as quickly as 1t has sprung up.

MEMBER OF RUSSIAN DoUMA SAILS
 FOR HIS HOME.
stay in America Was Very shert--Pres- ident Roosevelt Refused te Re- ceive Him Because Russaan
 Ambassador Objected.

New York, Jan. 1es-After visit of but five days in America. Prof. Paul MiIyukoff. leader of the Constitution- al Democrats in the Russian Douma, sailed for home on the French liner La Torraine today. His stay in this country was short for the reason that it Is necessary for him to be on hand at the reopening of the Douma, which suspended for three weeks for the Rus sian Christmas holidays.
 Prof. Milyukoff. who attended q dim ner In Washington last night, reach cd New York this morning barely In time to catch the La Lorraine.
 After the steamship had left her dock. a cablegram addressed to Prof. Milyukoff was received from . friend in Russia. It read:
 Imperative you bring full report of your nttarances in America"
 The message was regarded by Muy- ukoff's friends here as a warning that he must be prepared to descud himself.
 A typewritten statement bearing up- on the fact that Prof. Miiyukoff was not received by President Roosevelt when he visited Washington was giv- en to the newspapers shortly after the steamer sailed It states that he President did not receive Milyukon because of objection by the Russian ambassador.
 The statement followa:
 "An effort has been made to discred- 1t Prof Milyukoff and to misrepreaent the success of his mission to the Unit ed States by the sending to St. Peters, burg of a report that President Roose- welt had refused to receive Prof Miiy- ukoff and the visit of the latter to this country was therefore partial failure. This report evidently was sent by representatives in New York of the Conservative element in Russia oppos- >ad to Prof. Milyukoff's party. His Friends in St. Petersburg cabled yes- terday to the director of the Civic Fo- rum, Mir. Ely. asking that a true etate- ment of this Incident be cabled back to Russia immediately.
 "rhe following cable was sent in re- ply:
 Iy to Milyukoff. but unable to receive him because the Russian amhassador objected Dinner and reception in Washington in honor of Mityukoff at- tended by Speaker Cannon of House of Representatives Secretary of War William H. Taft and two other mem bers of Presidents cabinet; Mr. Loeb, Secretary to President Roosevelt; As- sistant Secretary Of state Bacon and over. one. hunirsd membsrs of both houses of Congress. N
 Prof. Milyukoff said that in his judgment President Roosevelt could take no other action than he did, and that if he himself were in the Presi- dents place he would take the same couFsA
 President Roosevelt expressed great regret that he was unable to meet so eminent and dislnterested a statesman and so great Q scholar As Prof. Mily- ukoff."

Car Load from East Being Held for
 Call from Pensacola.
 When train 35 of the Western Rail- road reached Montgomery from Att lanta yesterday morning! there was a special coach attached containing what was said to be fifty secret service men.
 The greatest secrecy covered the movements of the party, and at first it was just case of guess as to wh eth- CT they were railroad special agents. government secret service men or Pin kertan men.
 It developed, however. that the party was made up of fifty men in charge of some detectives. ordered to Pensacola as strike-breakers to be used in the car strike in that city. They were stopped in Montgomery and held here subject to emergency orders from Pensacola. It is probable that they will be sent on to Pensacola this morning. They are from New York and other points in the East, the leaders being professional strike-breakers.

Washington. Jan. l6---A complete change of front was exhibited by the majority in the House of Representa- tives today in 4he consideration of the bill to codify or revise the penal laws of the United States.
 The pacific spirit displayed by the Committee on Revision of the Laws to- wards the close of yesterdays session when it appeared as though the several amendments strength ening certain pros visions of the bill regarding corrup- tion in the appointment of persons to public offices would be adopted had vanished today and instead every inch of ground was fought over to keep amendments out of the bill.
 When adjournment was taken at 4:0e o'clock only six additional pages had been disposed of and but one or two verbal amendments by the Committee had been inserted.

NORMAN III TO
WIN NEXT DERBY

London, May 31.-With the Derby
only half a week off, interest in the
great race is at fever heat Peculiar In
terest is added to the running of the
Derby this year from the fact that 1t
is considered at least possible, If not
probable, that an American horse Will
take the blue ribbon. Norman III IS
by many judges regarded as the most
likely winner, while another Ameri-
can-owned racer, Sea Sick II, owned
by w. K. Vanderbilt, is thought to have
a chance of coming in first. other
horses more or less fancied are Lesbia,
Mounted Apple, Perrier, White Eagle
Vamose, Sir Archibald, Royal, Sea
King and Rushcutter. 1t is from among
these that the experts expect to see the
winner chosen.
1t was not thought up to within
few days ago that Mr.. Vanderbilt
would send Sea Sick II over, but the
overthrow of the favorites In the
Guineas decided the American horse
man to make the try Sea Sick ii Will
not run in the French Derby, in which
race the stable will be represented by
Schuyler.
