athletic authorities, and they unanimous ly declined to accede to the terms of the proposed contract.
 As I have stated a number -e~ times before, we are compelled to carry at least p men in order to have enough men on hand to properly look after the gates at the park. You would have had the privilege Of taking an equal number of men, and you did not wish to carry this number, you would be allowed ex- penses for that number. nevertheless. With regard to the s. 50 hotel rate, would say that the Birmingham hotels are very expensive, as they are all on the European plan, and we did not get out last fall even at the $3.5O rate. As told you in Tuscaloosa, we would have been willing to make $3.50 the maximum rate, and if your actual hotel bill was less than this we would only charge actual amount of hotel bill on our ex- pense account.
 With regard to the matter of an um- pire, we have discussed the names of several southern officials without coming to any agreement. I would further call attention to the fact that several south ern colleges within the past year or two have been using eastern officials at their games. Yours very truly,

 Bragss Concludes.
 It will be seen from my letter that Coach Pollard and myself had discussed the subject of a southern official as an umpire without reaching any satisfac- tory conclusion in the matter, and he himself has only suggested the names of one or two men as umpirss for the game referred to.
 I would call attention to the fact that the above correspondence shows that the meeting of the Alabama Athletic assocla- ton was held prior to the conference with the Auburn representatives, of which the Alabama committee speaks, and it will be further noted that the resolutions sent to the Auburn management were in the nature of an ultimatum, dctating the only terms upon which the Alabama au- thorities would sign a contract for next season, and using as a threat the state ment that negotiations were being opened with other colleges for game on No- vember IA before the Auburn authorities had had an opportunity to finally pass upon the matter
 The Auburn athletic authorities very naturally declined to be coerced in this way into receding from their original position, and so the above communica- tion, advising Coach Pollard of this 1act, was addressed to that gentleman
 With this statement of our case, we leave it to the public to pass upon the merits of the issue that has been raised.

With regard to the committees asser- ton that MT. Donohue and myself stated capable of umpiring an intercollegiate contest, I would emphatically deny that we made any such statement. We sim ply stated that we did not know of a satisfactory available man to officiate as umpire in the Alabama-Ahburn game, and we asked Dr. Pollard to suggest some men for our consideration, though he failed to do so. As a matter of fact, the number of good men who are available for umpires in football games is extreme

or in any church affairs as he was to the
interference of the church in state af-
fairs.
VIII G. Farrell then spoke earnestly
against the resolution. Mr.. Farrell said
that it is an assured fact that the attack
on the church would ALLEVIATE votes and
that the matter was dead issue, and II
was unwise TO reopen old wounds.
Mr.. Farrell contended that the platform
as presented by the committee contained
ample mention of the matter, and that
it outlined the position of the party with
out antagoniZing the church
B. J. Stewart heartily supported Mr..
Kings motion and said that there was
nothing in the resolution winch coulu
ALLEVIATE votes.
d. W. Moffatt stated that he was tired
of thrashing out the old questions and
that the position of the Democratic party
was perfectly clear on the opposition to
church interference in politics, and that
it was needless to antagonize the Mormons
unnecessarily. He stated that there was
a disintegration now going on in the
church which was doing the church more
harm than all the political efforts against

resolution. On the motion of Mr.; Alder

rors We're in the city awaiting examina-
ton as to their competency as jurors at
this term by the attorneys who are here
particularly interested in the case of the

II is expected that it will take consider
able time before a jury is completed.
Burns, the defendant, was in the court
room yesterday during the examination Of
jurors. At times his cOuntenance showed
deep thought and his face showed reali-
cation of the deed he is charged with.
He feels pretty confident, however, Of
gaining his liberty again on the ground
Of self-defense, which is expected TO be
the line of evidence his attorneys will
follow.
Reports came here from Mayfield on
Sunday last of a fire at that place, a
town twelve miles south of this city. The

appreciation of the bigness of the fu-
ture of the west through the reclama-
ton of arid lands and the development

the attack was answered by George n.
Maxwell of California in a spirit of toll

FOR PIMPLES, TOO.
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Overnight.

A few months ago the dispensers OF
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
vious to that time il could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in. the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
introduced to the drug trade in the last
thirty years. All leading druggists, in
Guiding the F. J. Hill Drug Co., in Salt
Lake City, are now carrying the spe-
cial 50-cent size recently adopted, also
the 81 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately, and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles.
such as pimples, blackheads, acne.
herpes, blotches, rash, etc, results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge,
