 The receivers of the Southern Steel Company are: II O. Bush, Edgar L.. Adler. Joseph O. Thompson and c. C.. Chandler.
 The action of the reorganization committee of the Southern Steel. con- sisting of James T. Woodward. w, F. e.

WASHINGT0N'S BIRTHDAY
 TO BE GENERALLY OBSERVED
seaeels ef State Have Arranged Ap- propEiate Exexeises Fer Hhe
 Oeonsf0ms

The public schools of Alabama will observe the celebration of Washing toms Birthday this year more univer. sally than they have ever done. This Is the opinion of state Superintendent of EdncatioA Harry c. Gunnels.
 The basis of Superintendent Gunneiss opinion is the communications he has received from teachers In every part of the State. From all countieq tn- quirIes have come to the Department of Education for copies of suggestive programs which have been carefully arranged by the Department ap- propriate for the occasion.
 It is estimated that the Department has mailed no fewer than fifteen hundred Of these pamphlets to the pub Iic school teachers Of Alabama This. indicates a pretty general observation of the birthday of the first President. It has been the custom of the Superin- tendent of Education of Alabama to Issue uniform suggestions to be Roi- lowed on the occasion of February zx.
 According to the official program the celebrations in the various schools to- day will consist of recitations, patric- tio songs, flag exercises and addresses of prominent speakers in the Iocait- ties where the exercises take place
 On account of the anniversary of Washington's birthday falling, this year on Saturday, the schools wNl gem orally observe Friday, February 3l, or today. as the holiday. This Is . part of the suggestions of the state Eduea- ton Department. Then Saturday will in some parts be observed as Arbor Day. Elaborate propositions have been made in many sections os Alabama to commemorata Arbor Day.

PETITION PRESENTED
WABASH RAILROAD WANTS AN Ex- TENSION or TIME.
if the Nine-Hour Law is Put Int Effect hmmediateiy, ft Would Mean Closing of Many Small
 Sfationa

WsshfnEfon. Feb. ae---A proposition very serious to many thousands of peo- pie residing at and in the vicinity of small railroad stations throughout the country, fs presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission in an informal petition in which the Wabash Railroad company asks for an extension of the time of the going Into effect of the nine-hour law. which applies to raii- way employees who have the direction Of movements of trains.
 It Is declared in the petition that unless the order of extension is made. either by the Commission or by the Congress. the only alternative will be the closing of a large number of sta lions on the Wabash Railroad. This action, 1t is recognized, win impair the en1ofeney of the service and result in public inconvenience and interfere with prompt movement of trains, but the Wabash officials assert that they see no way out of the difacuity into which they will be plunged by the op- eration of the law.
 It Is pointed out in the petition that in order to comply with the provisions of the law, the company would have to employ an additional telegraph opera tor at each of 245 stations on it's fines. Thus far, the company says that 1t has not been able to secure the services of efficient and competent operators fin such numbers as will enable 1t to com ply with the act. The Wabash on. cials maintain that the application of the law to their line would result in great hardship and expense to the conn

RUssIA's NATIONAL DEFENsE.
The FInancssi oufiins of Naval Project is Submitted.


 St. Petersburg. Feb. 2G.---Repressnta- tives of the Russian Admiralty submit ted today to the Committee of National Defense of the Duna, the financfal out line of the much discussed naval prof ect. The matter was discussed with open doors instead of In private, as had been expected.
 The program is to be completed in 1917, and includes not only the con- struction of . fleet of battleships. but also certain amount of hydrographic work at several of the ports of Russia. The expenditures involved amount to SLOTS, 900, 900. and increases yearly from s4a.s00.000. already included in the budget of 1908 for the laying down of four new battlesh:ps to a maximum of t12s,0o0.o00 in the year i9i4 The expenditure then decreases to ss5.000,- 900 In 1918. and the sub sequent expen- ditures are to be maintained at this figure. One of the features of the pro- gram Is a duplicate complement of guns for every ship to bs constructed.
 In reply to a question, Admiral Wire nius. chief of the general stan of the navy declared that the Russian yards would be able to handle and complete the entire program, including the in- stallation Of turbine machinery and other late developments in naval con- struction. The first ships called for are to be completed in four years. and the others in three years after they are laid down.
 An alternative minor program also was submitted. This privides for the construction of only Tour battleshsps and fleet of smaller vessels. The es- timated expenditure under this sched- ule is e225. 0.0oc. The commission took no action and several members advocated that the matter be discussed at length before the Duma.

 Pink Pills Cured Him.

pr. wiliiams' Pink Pills have proved in hundreds of cases that they are ad- mirably suited to correct the disorders that follow an attack of grip and to restore the debilitated and depressed patient to health and spirits. They are
 also invaluable in the treatment Of stomach trouble. acidity and flatulence
 or gas on the stomach. It follows that when the after-effect of grip takes the form of stomach trouble, pr. Wil- Hams Pink Pills are particularly adapted to effect a cure
 MT. Robert Brown. whose address is R. F. D. No. 8. Cass City, Mich, and who Is q prominent farmer and super visor of the town of Novesta. and member of the Ancient order of Clean CTS. says:
 ''one Sunday night little over two years ago, I was taken suddenly with vomiting and terrible pains in my stomach and bowels. I was completely run down at the time through overs work and the effects of an attack Of the grip. My wife thought I was go- ing to die and sent for a doctor. He gave me some medicine and advised a liquid diet. On the following Wed nesday I had another attack and was in such agony that the doctor gave
 me something to deaden the pain.
 T suffered a great deal for the next two years and was under the care of two doctors for the greater part Of the time. One called my trouble acute indigestion. the other liver troubles I was so weak that I was often in bed for several days at time. Some times felt strong enough to get up. but not to work.
 sThe doctors medicine didn't help me. I was Respondent and had about given up hope of a cure. Some of my friends kept urging me ao strongly to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I finally consented
 The first box made me more hope ful than had been since I was taken sick. ! began to sleep better, emr hearty and was able to work in few weeks. I was cured and have felt well and strong ever since"

Lgthmlan Canal Commission to Cut
 Down Construction Labor.
 Washington, Feb. 20.--Reductions in force are being made by the Isthmian Canal Commission in the diyieinns of building construction and that of me- chanics. also in the clerical force on the Isthmus.
 Notwithstanding these facts there has been a considerable number of unem- ployed mechanics and clerks migrating to the Isthmus recently as a result of the commercial depression in the Uni- ted States. but their chances of secur- ing employment are very remote. The Commission ia anxious that prominence be given these facts as any vacancies that may hSve to be filled are given to former employees who have not left the Isthmus.
 Americans who do come. however, and fail to secure work with the Com mission, can seldom find other employ ment as the volume of other business is not large and the local supply of skill Q ed labor is amply sufficient to meet all demands.
