 san," retorted Mir. Carter, who then added, amid general laughter, that ''all presidential candidates would acquit him of being partisan"
 MT. Tillman then declared that the printed part of the secretary's report was merely filled with assertions.
 MT. Lodge said he was surprised at the senator from South Carolina.
 q know no one" said MT. Lodge, "who has pleaded so much for light and shows so much anxiety to have 1t shine in dark places as he, and yet when we begin to shed light he re- sists because of the partial illumina- tion. I think it is a great convenience to have in printed form this reply sum- marking the exhibits, all of which will be here tomorrow.
 TiIIman Wants Light.
 Docs the senator assert there is any light in this pamphlet?" interrupted MT. Tillman, in high pitched tones, and then adding in falsetto tones: T saI light light, light Don't go off on anything else--light, light, light"
 q think" replied MT. Lodge, there senator from South Carolina will bs able to see I don't know"
 Mr. Culberson then took up the re- port and said that upon a cursory ex- animation he discerned that the secre- tary admitted that he had not replied to the specific inquiries of the Senate resolution. He stated that his main objection was concerning the piecc- meal method used by the secretary in giving the report to the Senate. He had no objection to the report being printed, but he did object to having tn e argument given out to the country In brief before the Senate had ordered the facts printed.
 Senator A1drich suggested that the senator from Texas, as we'll as the sen ator from South Carolina, instead of being seriously engaged in an endeavor to obtain light on the financial ques tion were taking part in a comedy.
 Senator Carter brought the debate on the report to close by reiterating his statement that the secretary had simp- Iy put the whole statement in con-

OWENTON TACKLES
 THE ATHLETIC CLUB

A game of basketball that is exciting great deal of interest is that to be played at the Birmingham Athletic club Friday night between the club team and the team from the Birmingham college, (Owenton)'
 The Owenton team, though young at the game. is d very strong aggregation. It won the junior league pennant last year over the junior teams of the Athletic cluo and the Y. M. C. A. and the Birmingham High school. It recently defeated the Gadsden Y. M. c. A. at Gadsden and mas proved itself a good match for any team.
 The team is composed of the following men, who have been playing for numper of years on the school teams around town and are well instructed in the me points of the game: Hanna and Garner. forwards: Lambert, center; Balsam ana Baumgartner, guards. They promise to make the club team hustle and good game is assured
 The regular dance will follow the games.

Speaking of the pitchers, believe Mullin will have a mighty good season this year.
 "But really, I'm having such a great time these days I haven't thought of base ball at all. It seems as if the season had just closed, the winter has gone so fast The world series does not seem more than a few weeks old. I haven't thought of baseball since then, and I hope I never do think of it as seriously as I did last summer.
 T have a good thing offered me to coach at the University of Georgia, and if I can get Jennings consent I would like to stay and handle the school squad. l could get in shape down here doing that. I do not care about going to Hot Springs, anyway. I'm writing Jennings now to get his consent I'm practically in shape right now. I've been playing the indoor game, and while I'm more or less of dub at it, guess, it's lots of fun
 Business directly dealing with the con- troversy betwen the club and himself the Georgian feels is matter only the two of them should be interested in.
 ''The goods l have been lucky enough to show I feel would warrant my de- mands," he concludes. 'I hope it will cause no trouble, and feel sure that they will treat me right
 Tyrus, with his usual modesty discusses other matters. The tone of his letter would lead one to believe that there is not any ill-feeling between himself and the club.

 It is expected that he will have some interesting information to give out, in- asmuch as there were a number of rumors and reports at baseball head quarters yesterday which were given out with the understanding that noth- ing be said concerning them.
 Judge Kavanaugh wired President Baugh that Mobile had asked for waivers on several men, one of whom was Graffius, the old catcher of the Shreveport aggregation New Orleans asked waivers on several, among the number being "Silver Bill" Phillips.

 CorteIyou's Report.
 In response to a resolution agreed to by the Senate on December 12, 1907, the Secre- tary of the Treasury touaY transmitted to that body detailed statements concerning the award of Panama bonds and per cent certificates, together with recent financial transactions of the government, and also embodyng information as to the general state of the nations finances during the closing months of 1907-the period over which the recent financial panic extended.
 The report, which is accompanied by long letter from Secretary Cortelyou to the president of the Senate embraces a list of Repositories and the amount of money placed on deposit therein at va rious dates; list of other banks with the amount of national deposits. and the se- curities held therefor statements showing the condition of banks on August 22, 1907, and December 3, 1907, and the amount of bank notes outstanding at various periods. lists of banks and individuals who re- ceived Panama canal bonds and list of those who bid for the bonds without re- ceving allotments and subscriptions of 3 per cent certificates of indebtedness data concerning clearing house certificates is- sued during the panic and budget of cir ularS, press announcements and corre- spondence relating to government finan- cial transactions that took place during the period mentioned in the resolution.
 Unsettled Conditions.
 Secretary Cortelyou states that business conditions were becoming unsettled when he became financial member of the cab met in March 1907. Various stringencies occurred prior to August, which were promptly relieved. A plan of weekly de- posits of government funds in various banks was begun on August 2S By De- tober IA these deposits had reached total of BPS 000,000 In October occurred the stir ring events in New York which cul- minated in the closing of the Knicker- booker Trust company and the decision of New York banks to issue clearing house certificates. The treasury transferred to national banks within a few days $35.000.- 900, and transmitted to New York within three days about $360O0,000 in small bills. In New York city alone, the report shows. clearing house certificates were issued in excess of $1O0, 100000. By the middle of November the treasury had met the de- mand for relief to the extent that the working balance was reduced to approxi- mately $5,000,000. It being apparent that no further deposits could safely be made, banks were permitted to substitute bonds

Dividend Among Banks.

Details of the distribution appended to the report show that the present deposits are divided among 1421 banks. Consider able space is devoted to showing that great care has been taken in distributing the deposits and much, consideration is shown to communities where particular trade moverp ents involve a special de- mand for currency at certain intervals.
 After discussing ct length the policy the government should adopt in regard to the paying off of its obligations, the report hints in general way at a possible treasury deficit at the close cf the current year, the internal rsv- enue collections for the six months ending December 31, 1907 showing decrease in custom receipts of $8,S38.- 900, and in internal revenue receipts of s6,220 ,O00, with the probability that the rate of decrease during the remaining half of the year will still further de- cline.
 Cortelyou Wants Relief.
 Anticipating the financial wants of the immediate future, Secretary Cortei- you intimates that if new Legislation does not relieve him from the guardian ship over the money market that has tacitly arisen, he must make provis- ion for relieving it by making deposits in the autumn the season when the de- mand for money is usually the greatest. For this purpose alone, under the pres

In con- nection with this statement the report says: ''While the banks of the state of New York appear as holders of public money to the amount of 26.8 per cent of their capital and surplus, the banks of the New England, eastern and middle western states, taken a whole and in- cluding New York, show a percentage of deposits to capital and surplus of only a little more than 15 per cent. The banks of the southern, western and Pacific states on the other hand show proportion of nearly IS per cent"

Right Reserved.

The department also reserves the right to reject any or all bids, if deemed to be the interest of the United States so to do.'
 obviously so far as the offer of securi- ties was influenced by the desire to pre- vent distress in the money market it would have failed to this purpose If awards had been made even to bona fide bidders, which would have resulted in large drafts upon the reserve money of the banks and would not have aided in drawing money from private banks. It was, therefore, decided in the case of the Panama bonds to make no awards to individuals in excess of $10,O00. It was also decided to accept the highest bids of national banks for the remainder Of the issue after these minimum allotments to individuals"
 The total bids for the Panama canal bonds, continues the secretary, amount ed to s2,220, 604,5S0 or more than A times the amount offered. This fact, not here tofore made public, would have stamped the loan as an even more remark able success than it was, if all these bids could have been regarded as having been made in good faith by responsible parties. Examination of the bids showed, how ever, that many of them were not only speculative in character, but that they were made in many cases for very large amounts by those who were personally irresponsible and incapable of having made even the smallest preliminary pay ment, if such payment had been required. When the awards were made, therefore. the bonds were awarded without hesita- tion to national banks in those cases where the prices offered were 1021s or higher and where the bid appeared in other respects to be made in good faith and with full capacity on the part of the bidder to execute his contract. The amount thus awarded to national banks was SPA, ,99S 040.

No Speculation.
 There was less margin for speculation in the case of the percent certificates because, as the report says their term of one year did not allow for any con- siderable premiums without extngush- ing the amount of interest. They were issued at par, and this made them im- mediately available. as it was not neces- sary to secure bids as in the case of the Panama bonds. They, therefore, af- forded convenient means to the banks at once to increase their circulation. For this reason the Secretary of the Treasury thought proper to announce at an early date that offers from individuals would no longer be received, and it was ulti- mately decided to make no allotments except to national banks. This decision was dictated by two eonsiderations-first, the desire to stimulate the issue of bank note circulation for a period which would relieve the crisis; and, second, the fact that the announcement of the issue of the new securities had already, to a large extent, accomplished its intended purpose and had made it unnecessary to issue more than fraction of the full amount. The issue of these securities was sus- pended therefore, the date first named for closing the receipt of subscriptions, the total amount of the subscriptions hay ing reached $63.959500.

SCTliiiSdlCS Iso(C6s
 The amount issued was only Sl5,436,oO0. As all of these were registered and is- sued to national banks with the under standing that they should be used as a basis for increasing their circulation, pr secure public deposits, they are all on deposit with the treasurer of the United States for these purposes
 While the awards of 2 per cent bonds were made primarily to highest bidders among national banks the effect of the awards was to distribute the bonds among banks in 40 of the 46 states of the union. The one-year certificates were distributed less widely, but were taken, however by institutions in at least jS states.
 The issue of the Panama bonds would have been required in any case within a short time to meet the expenses of con structing the canal and the Secretary of the Treasury it is urged could hardly be held responsible for the effect of such issues upon the volume of bank notes circulation, whatever might be his opin- ion as to the deslrability of the imitation which might result. Practically, there fore, the responsibility resting upon him relates only to the s15, ,436, 300 in the one year certificates and will terminate with their maturity and redemption on No- yember 90 of the present year.

Fair and Impartial.
