1eOSLMr. Edward Rosenberg, As

quest from Mr.. Hylen, / am giving
you my opinion as to certain matters
connected with the salmon fishing In

opinion in this time as to these mat

ID The fish whel and the sta
tionary trap in the Columbia river
should be abolished. 1t wonld be well
for the fishing interests of the coun-
try II the stationary trap in all of its
various forms was evrywhere elm
mated, for this is the most destrue-
tive and undiscriminating kind of
fishing. On the Columbia, where the
river - narrow and swift, the Ash

but has the additional evil or (a)
taking work from the fisherman, and

not in the best condition. for FISH for
canning ought to be taken in tide
water.
CD It would be we'll II all fishing
on large scale above tide-water in
the Columbia should be prohibited.
CD would also recommend that
a careful study OF gill-net and simi.
lar methods OF fishing be made. with
n view OF the ultimate interest OF the
fishing industry. as even II worse
forms of flshing were eliminated
there are still perhapsstoo many gil
nets for the size of the river.
To prohibit gIll-net fishing after

A MISSING HUSBAND
YOUNG WIFE APPEALS TO MOBILE
 POLICE.
Mrs. 0sberne Says He Disappeared From Royal Hotel With Man Who Has Influence
 Over Him.


 Mobile. June is.--(special.) )--Mrs. John Osborne. who gives her age at 17 years. and her home Philadelphia, visited Chief of Police Rondeau today and unfolded a pitiful story.
 She said her husband. John Osborne. was 21 years of age and had recently been discharged from service of the United States army at Fort Morgan. She said that on the night of June 5, while they were staying at the Royal Hotel partner of her husband, Carr by name, came to. their room shortly hefore midnight and called him out and that he has not returned since.
 She says her husband had $24o on his person when he left and she fears that Carr, whom it is claimed has ex- erted strong influence over Osborne, has lured him away. After investigat- ing his disappearance for two weeks. going to Fort Morgan with her trouble. she was told that Carr had deserted and was being looked for by the gov ernment authorities.
 Mrs Osborne has been cared for by the proprietor of the Royal Hotel. She gives her husbands home as Melvin. Ky.
 Authorities and friends here have sent several kilograms today with a hope of locating the missing husband, in whom the wife still has implicit con- fdence and says he will return to her support if possible.

RELATIVES OF 'eBLIND TOM"

Columbus. Ga. June 15.-(special)-- The surviving relatives of Blind Tom the world famous negro musical prodigy desired that his funeral take place in Columbus. the city of his birth and his burial in New Jersey Is a keen disappointment to them.
 He was one of twenty-three children of whom only four are now living, Frank and Dan Wiggins and Emily Carter and Antoniette Ligress of Bir- mingham.
 His aged mother died in Birmingham a year or two ago. None of Blind Toms" brothers and sisters are en- dowed with musical talent and all of them have filled ordinary meniaI posi- tions.
 His relatives feel bitterly towards the northern woman who took him away from Columbus some fifteen years ago and managed" the prodigy for the remainder of his life.
 "Blinm Tom" has not been in the city of his birth for the last fifteen years having resided continually In the north.

A PAIR OF TROUSERS
 FOR SECRETARY TAFT

Chicago. June 15.--A remarkable pair of trousers to be presented to Secre- tary Taft in the name of the State of Texas. when he shall have become the Republican candidate for President, are on their way to Chicago and at- tracted the attention of the politicians.
 Incidentally it is said the trousers are intended to focus eyes on Texas and the Angora goat industry of the State, for the pants are made of mo- hair, the product of clippings from famous Texas Angora goat. and they are intended to be worn by the Re- publican nominee for President if 1t be Taft. If the nominee should be Cannon, or Hughes, or Knox or Fair banks, the advertising will be lost to Texas, for the mohair already has been made up in pair of trousers accord- ing to Secretary Taft's measurement.
 The idea Is that of Jno. B. Caring ton, secretary of the Business Mems Club of San Antonio. He has written to Cecil A. Lyon, member of the Na- tional Committee of Texas. that ten pounds of wool had been sent to him by Frank c. Landrum, a goat breeder. the wool being six months' clippings from Admiral Togo" whose sire was imported from South Africa. The bus mess men of Philadelphia sent the wool to Philadelphia and had 1t made into r1ehair, which in turn was sent to MT. 1~~s's tailor in Washington and made into a pair of trousers. The Texas men expected that Mir. Taft would be in Chicago during the convention and ordered the trousers sent to Colonel Lyon for presentation to the Secre- tary. They are now enroute here. 4 telegram announcing the fact that the trousers had been expressed from Washington was received by. Colonel Lyon today and he imm mediately began the preparation of a proper reception. The program Is yet imperfect but 1t will include the exhibition of the trous- CTS at the coliseum If Taft is noninat- ed. The Texas delegation will seek to lead the column through the aisles In the usual procession of enthusiastic delegates which aB nomination is in- variably the signal for. Colonel Lyons expects to have the trousers hoisted upon the Texas standard.

ESCAPES FROM JAIL.
Two Negroes Leave the Jefferson Conn.
 ty Prison.

ty Prison.
 Birmingham, June l5.--(Special l. Two more daring escapes were made from the county jail Sunday if has iust come to light, when Milton shefieiS and Arthur Cole, negroes. charged with grand larceny, succeeded in getting over the jail yard walls.
 Although the Sheriff has hopes of re- capturing the men, nothing has been heard of them.
 Shefield was indicted by the April grand jury and his case was set for trial Monday in the first lewiston of the Criminal Court
 With view of trying to get the ne- groes back into jail Sunday the escapes were kept quiet but Monday morning 1t became generally known around the court house that two more prisoners had outwitted the authorities ana gain. ed their freedom. one just before the day fixed for his trial.
 The men got away Sunday morning inst after they were turned out to as- sist in getting breakfast. The sides of a cot were used to aid them in reach ing the top of the wall running along Fourth Avenue and everything indi- cates that the plan was we'll laid. Only the timely discovery of the absence of the negroes prevented other trusties who may have been prompted to get away from taking French leave.
 In the rear of the jail is a scaffold. which stands about six feet from the jail wall The sides of the cot. which just reach from the edge of the scaf- fold to the jail wall. were used and the negroes crawled over these to the top of the wall and then jumped to the sidewalk. a distance of sixteen feet
 Owing to the early hour no one was on the street at the time and the ne- groes had ample time to cover up their tracks before their absence was discov- cred.

HIS GIRL WAS "OVER 6O'
 AND HE GOT THE LICENSE

An old negro, apparently SO years old. walked into the Judge of Pro- bates office yesterday afternoon about 2:s0 o'clock and asked Clerk McDade for a marriage license.
 'For yourself?" inquired MT. Me- Dada
 "Yessir."
 well. will you swear that you are 21 years of age?" asked MT. McDade as he drew the application book to- ward him.
 ''Yesir. you kin see dat rze bout free times twenty-one," replied the ne- gro. "En my gal. she is bout free times twenty-one, too"
 Well. why haven't you been mar ried to her befors?" inquired MT. Mo- Dada
 Boss. didn't wan to be mar'd to two gals at de sam time." said the negro.
 q think that can swear that your girl Is all of twenty-one, even though I haven't seen her." said MT. McDade. Now give me dollar and a half. and I'll give you the license"
 The negro handed over the money with a chuckle and departed with a happy air. It is probable that the two A J. Johnson and Elizabeth Hall, were married just as soon as Johnson could reach the home of his girl on Madi- son Avenue just above Ripley Street

EUFAULA TEACHERS.
Board of Education Announces Its
 Selections.

Selections.
 Eufaula, June 15-(Special)-At a regular meeting of the Board of Edu- cation this morning the following teachers were chosen who will serve the city school the coming year: Prof. F. L. Mccoy. Principal and 'superinten- dent: Prof H. L. UpshAw. Of Alexander City, Principal of the High School: Miss EmuaY Pruett,' of Midway, As sistant Grammar School.) Mrs. Ida Pitts, City, seventh grade; Miss Marie FeaEin, Clayton. sixth grade: Miss Mary F. Clayton,- City, fifth grade Miss Lula Flewellen, city, fourth: grade; Miss Louie Htghtower. City, third grade; Miss Bessie Hayles, city, second grade: Miss Annie Walker. Union Springs, first grade.
 Professor Upshaw. principal of the High School is a graduate of the Columbia University of New York and the Normal School at Troy and comes highly recommended.
 He was visitor here during the re- cent Chautauqua when he was the guest or Professor Mccoy and made many warm friends in the city who will gladly welcome him in their midst. The matriculation of the school has grown so much within the last few years that an addition to the already large building will be necessary, and 1t Is highly probable that the matter will be brought up for consideration at the next meeting of the council.
 Professor Mccoy thinks that by add ing two wings to the present structure it would meet the requirements and would greatly improve the appearance of the building. and this course will be perhaps adopted.
 The series of religious meetings which have been in progress at the South Side Baptist Church for the past week will be continued throughout this week and much good will no doubt be accomplished.
