REVIVAL OF MARBLE TALK .Quarries Twelve Miles
 From Coosa. CAPT. FERGUSoWS SURVEY Drop in River Between Montgomery
 and Wetumpka Only .333. Believed That Lock Once Thought Necessary. Will Not Be Essential
 to ship Marbie to Salt
 

Increased interest In the develop ment of the efficiency of the Alabama River and tributaries has reawakened interest in the marble deposits fin Tal- ladega County. one of the richest mar ble / deposits in America. Lying but twelve miles from the Coosa River. the deepening of the channel of that stream and a maintenance of the chan mel for navigation the year-round. will make the development of this indus try not only practicable, but more than profitable.
 It has been thought for some time that an outlay of $400000 would be needed for a lock in the river between Montgomery and Wetumpka. because of the supposed .46s drop in the river per mile, making the current too swift for practicable navigation. A recent survey by Captain Ferguson. who Is in charge of the local engineering de- pertinent of the Government, has shown that the drop in the river is but .333, and the lock will be unnecessary.
 The quarry. or quarries in Talla- dega County are practically tnexhaustil ble and the marble Is of the finest quality and pure white. This class of stone Is In great demand the world over, and if 1t can be shipped from the diggings straight to salt water, 1t can be taken out for market at Q cost that will warrnt the working of the de- posits.

A. J. ST0FER IS
 GIVEN A TIP Alabamian Sends An AnonymousLetter. OPPOSITION TO HUNDLEY Something About the Appointment of Youngblood. The Letter States That Judge Taft Has Promised To Appoint Hundley
 If Elected To The
 Presidency.
BY ALFRED J. STOPPER.

Washington, Oct. 7.-(special.)- Your correspondent is in receipt of an anonymous letter which is given be- low. and Q perusal of 1t will show the reason why the writer was shy about signing his name.
 He lives in Alabama, as will be in ferred. but the city or town will have to be kept secret because the writer seems to be dreadfully afraid that Ref cree and Collector of Internal Rev. enue Joe Thompson might find him out. And if he dids who knows what might happen to this poor Republican who stands in such awe of the mighty Thompson?
 The tip" sent The Advertiser cor respondent, as will be seen, has much bad spelling in it. but that may be the fault of the typewriter on which the points were dashed of. President Roosevelt himself, if he has never acquired the art of manipulating one of these machines, would not be able to do any better with the first two or three letters he tried to get off If he found himself somewhere with no ste- nographer handy. was without pen or pencil and had to depend upon the typewriter. So 1t should not be in- ferred that the writer of the points which are aimed at certain Alabama Republicans, is really ignorant. The presumption Is from the wording of the letter that he is a negro in the government service, and he appears 10 be wise in withholding his name if he

BISHOP GALLOWAY HURT IN
 ACCIDENT IN MISSISSIPPI

Birmingham. Oct. "A special from Jackson Miss. says:
 Bishop Charles B. Galloway of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who was among the number who were hurt in the panic which followed the falling of a gallery at the Coliseum building in Jackson Tuesday evening. at the conclusion of Booker T. Wash ington's address, only received bruised elbow.
 Fully eight thousand persons. about 600 being whites. had crowded into the building to hear the address of the noted negro educator and at the close of the speech there was a rush for the exits. The only two white per sons who sustained serious injuries were Thomas Helm of this city who had an arm broken and Rev. James SmyIie, a Methodist clergyman from Flora, who received O number of pain full bruises Eight negro men and women received broken arms and legs while others were slightly injured.
 The Coliseum building Is frame structure, constructed for state fair exhibit purposes and was never in- tended for use in holding immense throngs as that which gathered to hear Booker T. washingtons ad- dress.
 It will be remembered that a few years ago following an address by Booker Washington. at negro church in Birmingham a panic took place in which 109 negroes lost their lives in the scramble to get out.

 Spasm of Reform. Birmingham, Oct. 7-(Special.)-At A meeting of the Law and Order I,yaReu today, it was decided that war rants would be sworn out Sunday or Monday against soft drink establish ments thLt keep open Sunday. and whose employees or proprietors have been arrested on charges of violating inc prohibition law or where there Is suspicion that other than soft drinks are being sold.
 Sheriff Hlgdon notified all soft drink places today that there would be ar rests Sunday if the places were kept open. What will follow remains to be seen.
 At the meeting of the Law and Or der League 1t was announced that there would be a determined fight for the strict enforcement of the pro hibition law.
 The recent receipt by several prom iuent citizens Of Black Hand letters. offering threats that If there is per- sistency in enforcing the prohibition law some killing would follow, has brought about much activity on the part of the Law and Order League and the decision today to close up the soft drink places Sunday is part of gener- al scheme.

 The Letter.
 Here is the letter just as 1t was constructed on the typewriter:
 Let me give you a tip anent Young bloods' appointment He is used to undo what he did organizing negroes against Tafts nomination The trump card they played thenwas Hundley's nomi- nation with his amendment and negro hatred record
 'They said 1t showed worse than Brownsvil1e. Negroes here wrote bushels of, letters about it in all the close states After taf's nomination, the thing stopt. It started up again when Hundleygaye out Taft had prom isedto appoint him again if he didn get through at short session They said that showed wors spirit to negro than BBrwonsvilli Negro BishoPs And teachers have sent thousands of these lettsr to all the close states and dis tricts They are badly scared xzficmfa peoshresh eahr things They tell themT Taft Never favored Hundley and 1t is all a lie This man said he didn't be- lieve thousand of negro votes could be saved unless tafts managers said so openly Youngblood knows these n negroes and statr ted the mmuss He

 As to Acting Judge Oscar R. Hund- ley. who is referred to in the above things are going to be much worse for him here next winter than we folks up this way had even dreamed of. If my Alabama informant has his facts straight. If this writer has the cor rect twist on things, the acting judge. realizing that his path Is so stormy, is looking to possible President Taft to appoint him If he don't get through at the next short session"
 4 Poor Prospect.
 Well. there surely is a mighty poor prospect of his getting through at the coming session, and even if Taft be- comes President the eminent lawyers of the Senate Judiciary Committee all know and contend that If this nomi- nation is not confirmed by the expira- ton of the present Congress the Presi- dent has no constitutional right to ap- point him again. That ends Hundley, and the Senate would not stand for anything like that if President were to insist that he had the right to make the appointment.
 Alabama Republicans who have been snorting so because Colonel Young blood received an appointment will have something to reflect over by reading the communication given above. Now they have some sidelights that may let them into things they did not know before. At any rate the as- sertions of the government employe in- dicates that he can account for "the

STRIKE COST $6O.OOO
EXPENSE TO STATE or THE LABOR
 STRUGGLE.
Examiner Brooke Is Said To Have Put The Amount Spent on the Sol- diern In Birmingham
 That High.

Birmingham, Oct. 7-(Special) IA sptatement credited 10 H. Y. Brooke examiner of public accounts. gives the cost to the State of the coal miners strike during the months of July and August and part of September at $6O,- 900.
 Of this amount. bills have been paid aggregating nearly $5s,000 and there remains something like $2,000 or $3,000 to be paid out yet.
 The examiner cut out lumber of minor items in the bills, but in the main the accounts were found correct. The military brought to the district caused an expenditure of no less than $45,0o0. a regiment or more of the State soldiery being on the scene from about July IT to September 16.
 Efforts are making to get in all bills as quickly as possible and pay them off so that all debts incurred during the labor troubles can be wiped off.

UNDERGROUND WIRE
IS URGED BY CITY ELECTRICIAN
 BLAkEY.
Police and Fire Alarm System should Be Placed In COnduits at Once Reports Street Cars Inc
 npecfed,

In his annual report. filed Wednes- day with the mayor. City Electrician B. A. Blakey lays especial stress on the necessity for conduits for running the electric wiring of the city under ground. Mayor Teague plead with the council to take this matter in hand last year. and in speaking of It We'd nesday said he had talked on the sub- Ject until he was hoarse.
 The city engineer goes into detail In his report on the subject, and says that at least the wires of the city and fire alarm systems should be un- derground In the downtown district as soon as possible. because at present they are in constant danger of being damaged or destroyed by the wires be- coming crossed with other wires In the city. thus gravely handlcapping the efficiency of the police and fire departments. In reference to these two wire systems. he recommends more alarm boxes for each. The sys- tems. he says. have been rendering good service all year, but as long as they are exposed they are liable to damage from sleet storms, high winds and becoming crossed with others.
 During the year Mir. Blakey, in his
 
 cars. has sent in seventy-slx cars to the repair shops because they were too noisy, fifty-three more were sent In because of fiat wheels, and in all 390 cars were inspected by him. How ever, he says the car company has improved its service, and materials by the addition of eight large con Yertible cars.
 The report comments the service rendered by the telegraph and teie- phone companies but says It is im- perative to the city's welfare that all wires should be run underground, and cites the fact that in most cities of the size of Montgomery and many smaller towns this method has been adopted and Is being installed. The fact Is also noted that additional overhead wires are being run and the matter should be taken up and brought to conclusion as soon as possible.

NEW HOSPITAL
Denver Headquarters For the National Labor Hospital
 Association.

Denver, March 30.-Within 90 days Denver will have a union labor hospital, accommodating $50 to 400 in actual operation and furthermore this city is now the headquarters for the national union labor hospi- tai association which will proceed with the building of hospitals for members of labor unions in all large cities of the country.
 Delegates from 27 unions attended the meeting called by Dr L. Slomin- ski of Chicago here yesterday.
 Dr Slominski is the originator of the idea and explained the plan fully. As superintendent of the na- tional association he has chosen Denver as the headquarters although he has previously established two union hospitals, one in Joliet, Ill and the other at Belleville, in the same state. The Denver hospital will cost $200,000 and will be the larg- est in the city. Construction will be commenced in a few months ,and in the meantime temporary hospi- tai will be opened immediately.
