nRADsTREBT's REPORT.

Review of Week shows Considerable
 Improvement in Trade.
 New York, March 1s-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 provernent in both the tone of general distributive trade and in the volume of business actually booked by job bers. Withal, however. there Is little change to be seen in the character of the buying. which is still along very conservative lines, and while the vol tune of business doing is larger now than at any time since last fall the shrfnkage from a year ago is distinct and enthusiastically large. Collections are still very backward; prices of sta pies tend lower, as for a long time past the earning power Of employees in tailed by short time or wage reduc- ttons, and the threat is made that re . fusal to accept lower wages may re- ivity in the coal trade. The demand for iron and steel shows little real expansion aside from some lines like wire and similar goods. Old material plants are running on short time.
 The long standing scurtaflment of eot- ton goods production shows no signs of ending: In fact. continued heavy cut in production is indicated, and notice has been given in addition of ten per cent reduction in wages at some Eastern mills.
 One or the De8t eituAleu tfuSS OI tFauo in the country. so far as current de- mand is concerned. is millinery which seems to be in fairly brisk sale by Jobbers. Dry goods of various kinds. Eroceries, hardware, implements and paints are also moving fairly well. Ex uort trade in cotton goods does not gain much, and the outgo of farm pro ducts Is not so large as in recently pre- ceding months.
 Mems wear orders for fall have beer disappointing. and old wool stocks ArV being celaned up at concessions.

NO ACTION TAKEN.

New York. March 1s.-No action was taken by the directors of the South ern Railway Company at the meeting today on the preferred stock dividend. which Is usually acted on at this time of the year. and 1t was stated after the meeting that the dividend question had not come up foF consideration. No official explanation was made why no action was taken. The directors did not make public the earnings for the last six months.
 The directors last October reduced the semi-annuaI disbursement from 21-2 to 11-2 per cent. Previous to that time, the company had been pay ing per cent. annually on its ESQ., O00, 900 preferred stock. The financial community had fully anticipated tae acc tfon of the directors today as. 1t was generally understood that the Southern Railway Company had been forced tc meet new conditions growing out of Legislative rate enactments, and that the ability of the company to handle economically ali the business offered several months ago, because of inade- quate facilities. had lessened the conn pany,s earnings.

sTACKPOLE ARRIVES TO HEAR CONTESTS
CHAIRMAN NEW MAKES AN I'M.
 FORTANT STATEMENT.
All Contests Over Delegates, Seats n4 the Republican National Con. vention WfIl Be Decided on
 Their Merits.

Washington. March 13.--"As nem- Der of the National Committee. can say that the committee will hear all contests and will decide each case on its merits, sustaining justice and party regularity with no thought as to the candidate or candidates"
 This in part Is the answer that liar. ry s. New. chairman of the Republican National Committee. makes to recently published assertions that the committee will be "controlled" by one candidate or combination of candidates and thai therefore. the Presidential choice to be made at Chicago will be determined practically by the National Committee.
 When Chairman New visited Wash ington 6 short time ago he had con- ferences with members of the National Committee at which the participants pledged themselves not to permit thelr personal preferences as to candidates to enter into the consideration of the claims of any man to seat in. the con- vention as a delegate. In enforcing this agreement they stated frankly that they were looking beyond the nomina- ton in June to the election in Mo- vember Tn an authorized statement given to the Associated Press Chair man New outlines the definite position of the National Committee.
 From time to time in the last few weeks, the statement has been made In private conversation and in print that this or that candidate or combina- ton of candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency is in control of the National Committee, the inference evidently intended to be drawn being that the committee through such control will act only in the interest of the candidate or candf- dates with reference only to the per- sona1 preferences of it's members and without impartial regard for the inter- ests of the Republican Party and the people.
 "As a member of the National Com mittee, can say that the committee will hear all contests and will decide each case on it's merits, sustaining jus tice and party regularity with no thought as to the preference of the con- testants for any candidate or candi- dates. I speak not alone for myself, but for members of the committee who have expressed themselves to me on the subject. I have no hesitancy in de- claring that the spirit have indicated will constitute the only control in the committee.

ficer followed, calling upon the fugitive to stop and sent three bullets to en- force his command.
 The shots brought to the chase aev- eral detectives who had been specially assigned to that section of the city because of the many recent burslaries. When the fugitive realized that his pursuer had been reinforced and that his chance of escape by a straighf- away run was extremely slight, he darted to one of the tunnel openings in Park Avenue and plunged through to the tracks thirty feet below. In the tunnel the darkness was intense and for a time the pursuers feared their man had escaped. Just at that moment an auto with a powerful search light came up the avenue. 1t was halted by the policeman, the search light vas turned down through the opening and the body of the fugitive was seen iy- Ing across the tracks at the bottom of the pit.
 The auto rope was lowered through the opening and a policeman climbed down just In time to drag the man from the track before train had pass ed. The man unconscious was hoisted out of the tunnel and taken Go a hos- pital where 1t was said he was not dangerously injured. In the area way. where the man was first seen, the po- lice found a shopping bag containing eighty-five pieces of silver which had been taken from one of the apartments in the house.

Capt. Odom and SalUation
 Army Take Cleaning Contract

At this stage of the proceedings. however. he received a tip. with the result that he applied to Capt. A. L. odom of the Salvation Army for as- sistanee in the dilemma that confront ed him. Captain 0dom agreed to un- dertake the job of satisfactorily clean ing the floors, and the glowing smile upon Mir Danziger's face bears witness to the success of his efforts.
 Captain Odom states that one of the first things taught in the training school of the Salvation Army at Chicago is the art of securing. A peculiar motion giv- en to the rag or brush used seems to greatly facilitate the process of clean ing. It is from his experience in the training school, Captain Odom states, that he has had such lunqualifed suc- cess in his work at the Fair. And with Captain Odom in charge of white labor the job was neatly, quickly and satisfactorily done.

Members of the local Salvation Army yesterday appeared in . new role, at least one with which the Montgomery public would never think of associat- ing them. In explanation of this state ment, the circumstances leading up to the discovery of their unexpected tal- enf are related.
 Harry Danziger, cashier of the Mont gomery Fair. has been vainly endeavor- ing. since the completion of the New Fair building. to have the floors of the new stsucture cleaned. But he found to his dismay that the dirt and grfme ground into the floor in the course of construction rendered this task almost inconceivably dif1cuit. At least ne- groes could not clean 1t. Tn fact. after sundry securing and ,scraping with ne- gro labor, Mir. Danziger was SO dis- heartened with the results aceomp- lished that he entertained the idea of abandoning all further attempts in that direction.
