PRINCE HELlE DE SAGAN
 ANGRY WITH REPORTERS

Naples. April 23.=-DeclarinE that he had been driven almost to desperation. Prince Helie de Sagan tonight left the h otel at which he had been staying and took an apartment on the Corso Vittorio Emmanuel, under the name of Louis Perigord.
 He expressed regret at the delay of the steamer Friedrich der Crosse, on which Madame Anna Gould Is a pas senger and which,. alth ough due to ar rive today. will not arrive here until 2 o'clock tomorrow morning. Its arri- val, it is said. would mean protection from being victimized by damned re- porters of two hemisph eres."
 Tn trwing to escape the close watch the newspaper men have placed on him, the Prince drove along the Toledo sea front but soon discovered that his driver was In league with the cab drivers of his prosecutors. animated signals passing between them by means of their whips.
 The Prince went to the theatre in the evening but soon realized that all the convenient places near him were oceu- pied by reporters. He left in disgust; exclaiming: lea
 "I thought 1t impossible to be treat ed worse than in America. The Prince has engaged a magnifi- cent apartment, d&tfng from Friday. at Bartholinis Palace Hotel. Ii is presumed that the apartment has been engaged for Mime. Gould.

ALUMNI OF PHI CHI
THEY MET AND ORGANIZED IN
 MONTGOMERY YESTERDAY.
One of the Features of Convention ef Doctors Was the Meeting and Luncheon of Phi Chi
 Alumni.

One of the most important events in connection with the meeting of the State Medical Association this year was the organization of the alumni of the Phi Chi Fraternity in Alabama. The organization is to be known as the Phi Chi Alumni Association.
 The initial busness' session of the Association was held yesterday after noon after the big barbecue at Elec- tric Park. In. numbers and enthusi- asm these alumni surprised even them- selves, and it is the intention of the members to make the organization felt throughout the State for the promo tion of fellowship among the "Meds. :"
 The business meeting came to an end by the election of the following officers: pr. Wilbur A. Sellers. of Montgomery. President; pr. T.. F. Tay- Tor of Tuskegee, Vice. President. and pr. J. A.. Lanford. of Tuscaloosa, .Ser- ary-Treasurer A committee was named by President Sellers to draft a constitution and set of by-laws which are to be reported at the next annual meeting of the Association.
 The abiding fraternity of the Phi Chfs was beautifully demonstrated at the inaugural banquet given last night by the Association in the dining hall of Yung's. The alumni expect to make this an annual event with their mem- bers and it is very likely that the meetings will be held at the same time that the State Medical Association as- semRles. --~zaf
 The guests of the Phi Chis last night were pr. l.. l.. Watkins of Montgom. cry, pr. H. B wilkinson of Montgom. cry, Dr. B, A. Taylor of Montgomery City Bacteriologfst: Dr. H. P. Cole of Mobile. c. l.. Harold of Montgoms. cry and pr. J. H. Somer of Pickens County. e~,a 2r
 The best of fraternal sentiments were expressed at the luncheon. which proved more than two hours delight to the score or. more persons present Tn a happy, versatile way. Dr. Thos. F. Taylor. of Tuskegee, acted toast master. He introduced the numerous speakers of the occasion with a varied wit that excited laughter all through the evening.
 One of the most serious addresses to the Phi Chis was one by Dr. Watkins. who was pointed to by the young men on this occasion as a man who has achieved marked success in the pro- fession and one who Is worthy of em- ulation. The keynote of Dr. Watkins's s monition was, Work, work. work. ' He would first ask of any young man beginning in the profession of medi- cine. Let him get early the idea that

2 MR. RIRSCHER'S MUSIC
 ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The publication of a mazurka by S. F. Hirscher of Montgomery. who though an amateur musician. is known through his performances as well as because of his compositions, Is already attracting general notice in the musi cal world.
 Mir. Hlrscher has called the piece "LaSavoy." At the several informal recitals at which 1t has been played it has won the admiration of musicians of the city. It's characteristic qualities are the delicacy and the daintiness of It's fancifulness and the exqulsiteness of it's expression.
 MT. Hirscher, who with his brother. Is well known as one of the managers of the Grand Theatre. is among the most popular men of the town. Du- ring his residence in the city he has done mdch to advance musical art in Montgomery and the publication of a piece that Is expected to win general recognition has the interest of almost innumerable friends in Montgomery.

DEPUTY SHERIFFS TELL
 OF LONG CEASES RESULT I

Deputies Tomlinson, McCord and Jones are sore today--ph ys.cally. They are displea eased--the statement is given on the authority of others. for not every one can outrun the deputies-the reason being that sundry tales are be- ing circulated about the jail in con nection with the long sprint in which the deputies were d;stanced by negro Wednesday.
 One of the reports is that Deputy Jones lacerated the side of a magnifi- cent Jersey COW with bullet aimed at, the neeting negro. Now. Deputy Jones does not admit this: he does not believe 1t. but. said Jailer Pettus yes terday, the deputy is very much inter ested in the price of Jersey beef. and has made inquiries as to whether pedi- greed Jersey cows have ever been seen in the locality wherein the shooting occurred.
 The reason that the deputies are sore. mentally-on the authority of others Is because of the irrefutable statement which has been made. to the effect that the negro actually ran rings around them, while panting. perspiring. and exhausted, they lay helpless upon the green sward. At a distance he ob- served his one-tiae pursuers curiously on every side. circiing them in the manner. perhaps, adopted in approach. ing a roost and in ascertaining the vulnerable point of attack.
 While these evolutions were being performed. a negress, an interested spectator of the scene, inquired Of the negro. "Whut's dem white mems doin' a-Iaying on de grass?' and the negro replied with a watermelon smile. 'I.ookin' fer a job. guess" It Is said ] that the negro. in giving vent to th:S 1 utterance assumed an air of superior | fty most exasperating.
 It is when the Jailer tells of this incident that the deputies have to go down the street to see friend. Meanwhile the Sheriff :s refiecting on the advisabillty of equipping his dep- uties with megaphones. They claim | that after the chase of Wednesday had | lasted few minutes they could not 1 get near enough to the negro to tell | him that they wanted him to stop. The outcome of this experiment, if tried, will be awaited with great interest. 1 At present, the Sheriff is furnishing lin- inent and consolation.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
House Amendments offered in Senate
 by Senator Gore.

House Amendmenta Offered in Senate
 by Senator Gore.
 Washington. April 23-The House amendments to the naval appropriation bill were offered :n the Senate today by Senator Gore of Oklahoma. to allow the building of the new battleships, submarine boats. etc. authorized by the bill at any shipyard in the world, and taking away the restrictions in favor of domestic steel. Mir. Gore had no support in his first motion to per- init the building of the ships abroad, and sixty-two votes were registered against him.
 His section motion was to strike out the provision that all. the parts of these Bps and the steel material used in them shall be of domestic manufacture. On motion of MT. Hale, that amend ment was laid on the table by a vote of AS to g, Mir. Gore securing the sup port of Senators Bacon. Culberson, Da- wis, McCreary. Milton. Money and Sim mons, all Democrats.
 Tn offering these amendments, Mir. Gore delivered a. passionate appeal to the Senate to strike blow st the steel trust.
 MT. Gore offered the amendments, he said, "to rescue this country from the tolls of the steel trust" which he re- garded as "the tapeworn1 of the treas- ury." The steel trust. he said. not only held up the country, but ;t held up the American merchant marine.
 MT. Bacon also spoke in favor of eliminating the provision requiring ma terials of domestic manufacture. as he said. it would by law force the Govern ment to buy of the trust at extortion- ate prices He remembered. he said hearing the Senator from Maine (Mr Halel, on a former occasion say the steel trust had the opportunity to put the knife into us,'' He said the armoI plata could be made by only two or three concerns in the United States and when the time came to bid thes would have q combination and ths country by law would be at the mercy of the trust.
