MIR. CRUMPTON WRITES LETTER
 AS TO CONTROVERSY.
Members of Board of Control Declares Requests for Designations Came
 From Patrons Whose Child
 rem Were Disciplined.

The following letter was received yesterday by The Advertiser: "Editor The Advertiser:
 The columns of newspaper is not the forum in which to try the merits of a school controversey. Your corre- spondent in giving some news items as to the affairs of the Southwest Ala bama Agricultural School on yesterday, neglected to state that the three gen. t1emen who demanded the designation of President Hall and myself, each had a child in this school who had been the subject of discipline, and if he wishes additional information he might have added that prior to the effort of the school authorities to administer such discipline not one of these gentlemen or their sympathizers made any com platnt to the local member of the School Board as to the school or its administration.
 Please do methe kindness to give this card the same prominence in your columns given by you to the news item from here on yesterday. regarding the Southwest Alabama Agricultural School and it's administration.

tions of clash between city Socialists and farm Socialists. The issue. accord ing to several spirited addresses oy men and women delegates. Is whether the Socialist party shall make special appeal to farmers to join the Socialist party. When the convention conclud- ed its days work, the question was still under discussion.
 Morris Hilquist of New York, was elected temporary chairman.
 As to the temper of the delegates concerning the Presidential nomina- ton, Eugene V. Debs and William D. Haywood, formerly Secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, seem- ingly are the leading aspirants. and the contest between them promises to be close. The net results of today's session were: A refusal to permit women delegates to control a majority of the committee on the rights of wo- men with regard to the Socialist move ment; refusal to name a committee to discuss immigration; and fight.

 An important factor in furtherlhs this view was the action Of rallrosu officials to bring about an advance III the rates for freight transportalloh' Extended conferences were held u this end and the project was adVocateu as a necessary step in view or the shrinkaRe in traffic and the obstacle to an adequate reduction In operating cost to meet this shrinkage.
 The policy of the rate advances came in for criticism and opposition not on- Iy among shippers. but from some or the railroad officials themselves max ing 1t problematical whether the plan would be carried out. This doubt had some effect in checking the rise Tn stocks and causing hesitation in the movement The same criticism has been heard of the policy of the prin- cipaI iron producers to hold prices where the stagnation in demand and general course of prices of other com modities Is pointed to as calling for reduction in prices to revive the do- mend.
 The money market has continued easy and reserves still accumulate in hanks in spite of the withdrawals Of government deposits by treasury de- nartment The continued overflow | from the treasury by reason of tho current deficit neutralized this section.

 St. Petersburg, May 1o.-M. Khomya- kohr's sacrifice Of his personal pride in order to safeguard the douma, has won unstinted praise in all quarters.
 Yesterday on the demand of Prem fer Stolypin he. withdrew the presiden- tial strictures on the statement made & few days previously in the douma by the Minister of Finance M. Ko- koysoff who during the course Of debate exclaimed:
 Thank God, we haven't parha- ment in Russia yet"
 NJ Khomyakoff from the chair re- ferred to the minister's recent unror- tunate expression. but later he was notified by the premier that he must withdraw his stricture, failing which the premier threatened to resign. Tn consideration of the fact that Prem fer Stolvpin had been the douma tru- est friend. M. Khomyakoff decided to accede to his request. M. Kokovsoffs phrase is relished only by the extreme reactionaries everywhere. Elsewhere it is regretted as inauspicious. The finance minis ter yesterday personally confessed to M. Khomyakoff that 1t was slip Of the tongue and that he had not meant to offend the douma so brusquely. lie was eager to retrieve the wrong and made haste to attend the minor douma commission last evening, showing spe- cial geniality to the members pre- sent. l.
