ALFONSO GOES
SAFELY HOME
ENDS VISIT IN BARCELONA WITH
OUT ANY UNToWARD AccI-
DENT OR BOMB.

BARCELONA, March 1l.-After
two days visit to this city, King Al
fonso left for Madrid shortly before 8
o'clock this evening. Great crowds
gathered on the streets and at the sta
ton to bid him farewell. The royal
train moved away to the cheering OF
the multitude.
Before his departure the King ex-
pressed his gratitude for the splendid
reception which was given him and
for the manifestation of loyalty the
Catalonians showed during his entire
visit.
No untoward incident marked the
Kings stay in Barcelona, but early
this morning the police had something
of a scare on account of the explosion
of a small bomb which had been
placed in a water pipe at Atarazannas
Quay, a very lonely spot. The pipe
was shattered and the sidewalk dam
aged. but no one was injured so far
as known.
The authorities, who were imme-
diately apprised of the explosion,
cleared up all traces Of it before day
break. Every EFFORT was made to keep
the affair secret and il was not until
this morning that it became generally
known. The ofHcials here are very
reticent on the subject, merely stating
that the explosion was insignificant.
The day was occupied by King Al
fonso in visiting several institutions,
in paying his respects to the naval
representative of Austria on board the
Austrian flagship and inspecting a
detachment of troops and the Atara-
zanas barracks.

PURE FOODLAW
IS VERY DRASTIC
CONTAINS A PROVISION WHICH
STRICTLY FOR1lDS THE USE
OF CoLORS IN VINEGAR.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March IL
The pure food law OF Tennessee, when
recently became operative, contains
many clauses and provisions, which
while apparently drastic are for the
benefit of the consumer and the law
tends to protect humanity from the
use of impure articles, or articles
which are detrimental TO health. The
retail grocers and dealers in food
stuffs, are vitality interested in the
provision of the act, realizing that IT
behooves them to be thoroughly post
ed upon what they may and what they
may not offer for sale.
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the clause relating to vine-
CARS. The average housewife is ac-
customed to the use, or at least the
sight OF vinegar Of RICH golden color.
This color has been impaired to the
vinegar usually by the addition OK
such harmless coloring matter as
burnt sugar. Apple vinegar mas naO
urally light yellow cast Probably
nine-tenths OF the vinegar manufac-
turers of the country employ harmless
coloring and the trade has been sur
prised TO learn that the law unmis-
takably prohibits the use Of such col
oring matter The law provides:
Chapter 297, Acts of 1907, Section 8.
Article 4, If It tfood) be mixed col
ored. powdered, coated or stained In
a manner whereby damage or inferi-
GRITTY is conceded; provided, that
burned sugar. or any other coloring
matter whatever, used in the manufac-
ture of vinegar or cider shall be
deemed an adulteration"

the dance Charles Nichols went home,
accompanied by young man of the
|neighborhood, who was to have spent
the night at the Nichols home.
Some time after retiring Nichols and
his chum we're aroused by someone
entering the room. They seized their
guns and opened fire, the shots being
returned Thomas Nichols, father OF

INSURANCE MEN
ARE In A QUANDARY
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT Is CO.
ING TO HAPPEN IN
ALABAMA.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March o.
Insurance agents representing all
companies doing all kinds of business
in Montgomery county are still In a
quandary as to what to do about the
citation which has been served on
them by County Tax Commissioners
w. NJ. Blakely of Montgomery coun-
ty. who wants to know why the com
panies have not paid a certain fran
chise tax imposed on foreign corpor-
ations doing business in Alabama.
Until the receipt of this notice from
the commissioner no agent believed
his company was liable for this tax
as in its nature 1t has been declared
even by the attorney general Of the
state, to be inapplicable to insurance
companies.
The franchise tax in question is
specified amount on the capital OF for
eign corporations, based on the per
centage Of capital employed in the
state. The attorney general has rul-
ed that such a law exempts insur'
ance companies, for the reason that
the premiums they collect for carry
ing on their business in this state.
and all other regular assets belong.
ing TO the insurance companies, were
not contemplated when the law was
passed at the last session Of the leg
islature. The law In question Is the
same that certain railroads are liable
TO resist.

SOCIAL CLUBS
NO EXCEPTION
MANAGERS OF ONE At HUNTS
WILLIE INDICTED FOR SELLING
LIQUOR. QUITS BUSINESS.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, March IL
The Oriental Club, which has been
doing business here since the hrst
of January with a membership Of
something over 300. went out of bus
mess today. John Warm, manager Of
the club, was indicted on ten charges
Of selling liquor In violation Of the
State and county laws, and when az
raigned in court this morning he
plead guilty in two cases. Judge
Belts assessed fines of $500 in, each
case. nolle pressed ave cases, and
Asld three on the dockets as a guar
antee Of future good behavior.
In passing sentence on the defend
ants, Judge Belts informed him that
he was Of the opinion that the purpose
Of the law would be served by the 81
sessing Of the fine and without hard
labor sentence. He said he was DO
ing this because there is some mis-
conception as to the privileges and
rights Of the clubs under the prohiol
ton and dispensary laws.
Judge Belts said that the high and
low alike may as we'll come TO an I'M
Outstanding now and be convinced
that prohibition is going TO prohibit IN
this county, so far as the law and
equity court is concerned. The limit
Of fine and a hard labor sentence
will be imposed on the next man, club
man or bootlegger, who is convicted
Of violating the liquor laws.

The President anticipated the &C
ton Of Senator Foraker in bringing
the matter up today in connection
with the report Of the committee on
military affairs, sustaining him in dis
missing the men from the army. Mr..
Latta, the secretary TO the President,
who delivers the messages OF the
President 10 congress. was waiting at
the main entrance to the senate cham
Der before the senate convened. The
moment Chaplain Hale finished the
prayer and before Vice President Fair
banks reached his chair, Mr.. Latta
was in the senate chamber ana pre-
scented the message.
Senator Foraker came in while 1t
was being read with his minority re-
port attacking the President and a
mass Of documents under his arm.
He smiled grimly when he discovered
that the President had outtianked him
and is now advocating a bill allowing
the negroes the right to re-enlist.

PREME BENCH

Judge Lansden OF Cookeyille. who
is in Memphis in the interest Of his
andidacy for the Supreme bench, has
been received warmly by Carmack
supporters, who glory in his spunk
in denouncink the action Of the Pat
terson machine and its primary ac-
ton.
Judge Lansden now Is 80 years old,
and was elected Chancellor Of the
Fourth district at the age Of 3S. being
at that time the youngest Chancellor
in Tennessee. He has fifteen counties
in his district, where there is a va
riety Of litigation, especially suits
over land. He has been unusually
well-sustained by the Supreme Court
The friends Of Chancellor Lansden
claim that he will not lose county In
East Tennessee, and assert that he
will carry his own large division, In
addition to Warren, Coffee, Grundy,
Franklin. Cannon and Davidson, with
strog support in Bedford, Sumner,
Wilson, Robertson, Marshall and
Lewis.
This they feel, will give him East
and Middle Tennessee. He has many
friends in the Western division, but
is not so well acquainted here, and
that is the reason that he is now can
vassing in Memphis. He and his
friends seem sure, however, that he
