F.. sTebbetts that a suitable celebration of the founding of Mobile be held by the citizens of Mobile. was adopted after being amended as follows:
 ''That suitable celebration of the event be held as suggested by the Ib- erville Society. by the citizens of the city and county of Mobile"

The chairman was au- thorized to appoint a committee of seven to devise plan of celebration of which he is to be a member. The matter of permanent officers on the suggestion of L. c. Irvine was post poned.

 st Dent.
 Pensacola. Fla. Jan. 7.--(speciaL)-- A special from Marianna this morning tells of another bad accident at that place. when Frank Sims. a prominent young man, was thrown from buggy and so badly injured that he lies in a critical condition. An error in mar rfage license and the haste of the young man to reach the point where the marriage was scheduled to be per- formed, were the causes of the acci- dent: for in going down a steep hill the buggy touched the horse, a wild one. and it made dash down the in- cline. Before the team reached the bottom of the hill the buggy had over turned and the young man was thrown out with great force. suffering a frac- ture of the skull, broken leg and dis location of both jawbones'

 am we'll satisfied that the said records reveal the status represented oy the attorneys for the applicant. and several of the propositions advanced appear plausible and seem to be sup ported by authority. However. in this matter I am acting merely in a min isterial capacity and do not think that l can. with propriety, undertake to determine that the Legislature Tailed to make or keep the records required by the Constitution.

Mobile, Jan. 7-(Special)-Hearin the arguments yesterday of Attorneys for J. B. Webster. a local saloon man applying for a liquor license. Probate Judge Price Williams. IT,. today hand ed down his decision refusing to issue the license.
 Judge Williams states that he gave the matter great study and considera- ton and weighed well the arguments advanced by the attorneys. He an- swers their contentious and as to the ecEtent.on that the law conflicts with local laws, the judge states that the case of the State against Skeggs 1t Is clearly defined that the law is gem eral and in view of the ruling of the Supreme Court he can do nothing but refuse the petition.
 It is not bought that a nandamus suit will be brought but the local liquor men win rest until after the Supreme Court decides on the case going up from Selma
 In view of the arguments of Attor- neys Well and Troy of Montgomery yesterday, local saloon men were hopeful but today they are blue and disappointed.
 Text of Deei.ion.
 The decision in full follows:
 'sThe applicant has presented to me as Judge of Probate an application for A county, Alabama, during the year 1909, which application Is in proper form and Is accompanied by a legal tender of the necessary amount of money.
 'It is evident, and I so announce, that the applicant has done every thing necessary to entitle him to the issuance of such license were not such issuance. in my opinion, prohibited and precluded by the act of the Leg f~Ya ha hibition law.
 "The learned attorneys for the ap- plicant have presented able and elab- crate arguments and briefs in sup port of their contention that the law mentioned is unconstitutional. They contend first, that the law is in fact local and not a general law, and that the constitutional requirements for the passage of local law were not complied with, and. second, that there were several distinct failures to comply with Section 64 of the Con- stitution which regulates the adoption of amendments to bills pending before the Legislature.
 'T am of the opinion that the first of said propositions stands clearly ad- indicated adversely to the contention of the applicant by the Supreme Court in the case of the State vs. Skeggs, 4s Sou. Rep. 2ss It Is true that do not see discussed In the case some of the questions now presented, but the decision embraces a direct and positive holding that the identical statute in question Is a general and not 6 local. law.

CONGRESS
House Summary.

Washington Jan. 7.-Although tech- nically under consideration in the House of Representatives today. the District of Columbia appropriation bill was sidetracked while the members in- dulged in general debate.
 This took a wide range. the pro- ceedings opening with a defense of the rules of the House by MT. olmstead (Pa.) His remarks stirred up the sub ject in all its phases and gave the so- called insurgents under the leadership of MT. Gardner (Mass) an opportun- ity to air their grievances. Mir. Cock ran (N. Y.) occupied middle ground on the proposition.
 Mir Taft's reported intention to break the solid South was incidentally brought into discussion in the course of a speech on the tariff by Mir. Shep- pard (Texas) who remarked in that connection that the President-elect had made himself ridiculous.
 The only other speaker was Mir. Rus sell (Mo.) who made a strong plea for rivers and harbors improvement.

Denver, Colo, March 17.-Invad-
ing the heart of the country which
has been opposed to the policy of the
governments forestry service, Clifford
Pinchot, government forester, in an
address today before the legislature
of Colorado, vigorously defended his
administration from the assaults
made against it. After declaring that
he had no apologies to make for the
policy of the forest service, Mr.. Pin

would be taken in any salutary policy
adopted.

chot said that the forest service is
anxious for cooperation with every
interest not antagonistic to the pub

national forests. He had come out

principles but to state also that he
proposed to stand by them. He said
that he would treat every complaint
made with a view to avoiding misun-
derstandings, prevent injustice, pro-
mote development and carry forward
in cooperation with the people OF
Colorado a policy which means sc

be changed, and If the law is unjust ii
should be amended, but until it is

to execute it in the best way it can. %

SELL NOTED. GAM
INC HOUSE TODAY
PHIL DALY'S FAMOUS PENNSYL-
VANIA CLUB AT LONG BRANCH
is PUT UP AT PUBLIC AUCTION
IN NEW YORK.

New York, March 17.-One of the
best known and by all odds the most
popular of the four old time gam
bling houses in Long Branch when
the Goddess of Chance held sway at
that famous resort decade ago, Phil
Days Pennsylvania Club, was put
up for sale at auction in this city to-
day.
Everybody who has ever been to
Long Branch knows where Phil Days
club house was. In the old days a
white flag with the words "Pennsyl-
vania Club" floated day and night
from the cupola. The house is
large frame building painted white,
and surrounded by magnificent and
well kept grounds.
Evidences of most lavish expendi-
lures in decoration exist on every
hand in the old club house, one of
the rooms comparing favorably with
the handsomest rooms in the Monte
Carlo casino, the ceiling being traced
with flowers and dancing maids, and
pink Cupids sport over the gold
trimmed mirrors. The entrance hall
is of solid quartered oak and cost
$4,000. Most of the gambling was
done in the large parlor in the rear
which on one side looks out on the
south end of the big West End hotel
and on the other upon the great
stretch of magnificent cottages which
form the fashionable Elberon colony.

finally fixed and that the general lines
of policy for which the forest service
stands are endorsed and will be sup
ported by President Taft.
What have come here to do is
to establish such relations with the
people Of Colorado who use the ma
tional forests and who are affected by
them, as will be for the best inter-
ests of the state and the nation.
"The forest service exists not only
to protect the national forests 1t
exists just as much to develop the
national forests and the states in
which they lie, and it has no stronger
desire than to promote and foster the
development of Colorado and every
other western state. No more COM
plete mistake about, the national for
ests has ever been spread abroad than
that they are shut against develop
ment and use. During the last fiscal
year, 1854 mining claims and S,739
agricultural and miscellaneous claims
were investigated; 392,7S9 NJ B. F.
of timber was cut; 386,3S4 M. B. F.
of timber sold; 24,127 grazing per-
mits, 3,141 special use permits, and
3O,377 free use permits were issued.
The total number of permits issued
to June 80, 1908, was 163,06S.
I'm the immense amount of bust
ness transacted over so large an
area, it was inevitable that mistakes
should be made. I do not doubt that
in isolated eases injustice has been
done, and wherever such injustice
has been brought to my attention, 1t
/ has been corrected The mistakes
made are insignificant in amount and
Importance compared to the good &C
complished 1t must be remembered
that injustice must be avoided as
much to the government as to the
users of the national forests, and that
if there were no attempt on the part
of dishonest men to get possession OF
the property of the people in ways
contrary to law, the men who are re-
sponsible for taking care of that
property would not be obliged to take
the precautions to protect it which
are now absolutely necessary.
