 Mr. sheehan objected to the motion which would fix the date for an early primary and postpone action on the features of the report. If this was done the Committee would have to meet inc charge that 1t was attempting snap Judgment in it's hurry to fix the pri- mary. If any part was postponed that part which fixed the date should also be postponed.

 Mir. Hughes said that if the report needed any changing or correcting there would be ample time before the primdry. He moved that the Farley motion be tabled and this was done. The report on motion of MT. Hughes was concurred in and adopted.

George Broadhurst, Fdn,ous Play
 Writer, q Guest in Montgomery

Mr. Broadhufs< won suit os clothes from Sam Hirscher last night on aA wager pade just before the cur tain went up. 'sThe Man of theN Hour was under discussion. Mir. Hirscher in- sisted that It had been given two pres entatfons here.
 Mir. Broadhurst was not certain. but was rather inclined to the belief that season. Mir. Hirscher proposed to wager suit of clothes, and on examining his bookings found that he had confused "The Man of the Hour. with "The Lion and the Mouse" Mir. Broadhuret said he wouldn't insist upon sthe suit. but that he did want the vest and he will carry one of Mfr. Hirscher's prize vests away with him. The avordupoise of the two Is of such difference that Mir. Broadhurst will be able to use the vest as an oyercoat.
 It was a striking coincidence that while submitting quietly to an inter- view, without Illustrations, Mir. Broad hurst stood beneath pictures of Rose Stahl and Robert Edeson. He was tells fne of the work that he has just com pieted and the work that he Is about 10 take up. He has just completed a new play for Robert Edeson and has . contract to hnish another piece for Rose Stahl by January 1, 1909. He is very enthusiastic over the prospect of having these two popular players starring in plays specially written for them by him. He will leave this mora ifg for New York.

Says That Story of Attack on Todd Was
 fneOrreet.

Says That story of Attack on Todd Was
 D. l.. Mcqueen, arrested on the charge that he had assaulted Capt. George Todd of the Montgomery Field Artillery, said yesterday that the im- pression prevailing that he had att tackled Captain Todd without provoca- tion and .n cowardly and concealed manner was entirely incorrect.
 Mir. Mcqueen said that he cut Cap tain Todd with knife and that Cap tain Todd. despite his protestations at the time, knew that he (McQueen) had cut him. Mir. Mcqueen said that he cut Mir. Todd because he was first threatened with heinz run down and was afterwards struck on the head by the officer, who used his bridle reins.
 In statement to The Advertiser, MT. Mcqueen declared that it was only af- ter he was attacked that he used a knife, and that he then cut Captain Todd. He said that an officer of the police department. Mir. Fucker, was near enough to gee the affair, and that Officer Fucker did nothing except to tell Captain Todd to ride away.
 Mir. Mcqueen denies that he has tried to conceal his part of the affair. He Is now at liberty in bond of $2O0 to await the action of the grand jury. One grand jury. he said last night. had al- ready passed his case.
 He expects that on trial he will be discharged. Mir. Mcqueen resides at 131 Lee Street.

George Broadhurst. "The Man of the Hour" in the play-writing world since his splendid political play. spent yes terday and last night in Montgomery, viewing. for the first time since it has been perfected in detail. his latest work, The Easterner," as produced by Nat Goodwin and company. MT. Broadhurst was gratifed at the very warm reception given his piece. as well as the plaudits won by Ms. Goodwin and his company
 Mir. Broadhurst until two years ago. was recognized as a producer OR strict ly farce comedy, and when 1t was am nounced that he had essayed things more serious. a general litter pervaded the play-produclng world. But George Broadhurst demonstrated. with this first serious effort, that he Is master of situations, a genius in the art Of creating novel. yet life true stage pict- ures and incidents. The Man of the Hour." has proven one of the best pay ing plays of recent years.
 Mir. Broadhurst is yet on the sunny side of thirty-ive. He Is small in statue, spectacled and serious, rather than with the air of levfty expected in producers of comedy and farce. He loves wholesome humor, good joke and a good fellow. But uppermost Tn his nature is the business instinct, the keen. Yankee faculty for the eommer- cial side. That's why he has catered to the American public in producing plays that appeal to all classes aiike.
