Hearing on Projected COnstitu-

This Week.
tFrom a STAFF Correspondent.

TRENTON, March 22.-The long
delayed caucus on the constitutional
amendments will take place some time
this week. The meeting was to have
been held last Tuesday, when the ma
jority was to have decided just what it
intended to do about them, but circum-
stances arose which made 1t advisable
TO put it off until Wednesday, and
when Wednesday came there just was
no Caucus.
The principal of the amendments
which will occupy the attention of the
Legislators is that concerning the judi
ciary. There are some radical changes
involved, so radical hat a story got
afloat hat corporate interests We're be-
hind them. In regard to the rumos
Charles III. Hartshorn, of Jersey City, a
member of the commission appointed
by Governor Stokes to draw up the
amendments, made a complete denial
this morning.
Amy statements that any special in
~terests. corporate interests, that Is, had
a hand in the drafting Of these
amendments Is absolutely untrue he
said. II have been acquainted with
every move that has been made in the
work, and 1 don't think any one would
accuse me of being mixed up with Wall
Street.
Many Years Agitation.
1T is hard to say Just where the
idea of the amendments originated.
There was agitation in behalf of some
such for several years before
anything was done. TIT New Jersey
Bar Association appointed a commit
tee. of which 1 was a member, to wait
on the governor and ask tina he appoint
q commission to draw up amendments
to govern the judiciary system. He
did so and the commission received sug-
gestions from all members of the bar.
AT a special meeting of the associa-
ton the amendments were approved
in general and a committee was APP
pointed to get them before the LeEisla-
ture. | was one of hat committee.
"There were many opinions as to the
value of the amendments. Some of the

Death of l.. w. Meyers, Pioneer

ton in tre scheme OF advance
ment which, for the past so years,
has made for good in the estab-
lishment and uplift of an empire.
Two weeks before his demise, in
talking to a pioneer friend, who
asked him the question as to how
it was with his soul, he answered:
81 feel that have lived about to
the end of my time, my work is
finished here, and while my chief
regret is to leave my lifelong
friends and members of my
family, I can say with perfect
confidence that | am ready to go
to my reward"
L. w. Meyers was born at
Belleville, county of Hastings,
Ontario, Canada, April %, 1888,
and was of Revolutionary stock.
His parents were William Henry

and Jane (Meyers) Meyers, also
natives of Ontario. Although a
native of a foreign land, his
grandfather and seven uncles
fought for independence in the
Revolutionary war. He was
Joined in marriage in 1854 at
Hudson, New York, with Mary
E., daughter of Noah and Mar
garet (McIlwain) Spaulding, ma
tives of Massachusetts and New
York, respectively, being a men,
ber of the we'll known Spaulding
family which gave up the Rev.
Mr.. Spaulding to the missionary
cause of the great northwest. Of
this union, two sons and one
daughter were born, Jacob A.
Meyers, George E. Meyers and
Elizabeth V. eagle, all residing
in Meyers Falls.
Mr.. Meyers with two brothers,
Tobias and Jacob Meyers, a half
brother, George B. Wanacott,
Frank Mcconnell, George F. G..
McCrea, Adam Arnold, Louis
Perras, and Antoine Paradis, all
young men, met at Fort Garry,
now Winnipeg, in June, 1862, and
with their young hearts full of
hope, equipped with small arms
and with their only clothes up
on their backs, decided to take
their course toward the setting
sun and try their fortunes in the
unknown west. For nearly four
months they followed the Indian
trails over an otherwise trackless
waste of country, inhabited by
Indians and occasionally a Hud-
son Bay post, crossed the Rocky
mountains by way of the Kootenai
pass, and, after enduring the
most distressing hardships, Sleep
ing only with the open sky for a
cover and the earth for a pillow,
and gathering subsistence from
the fields and forests Of the wild
country through which they
passed, on October % of the
same year they found a haven of
rest at the old Hudson Bay post
of Fort Colville, near the present
town of Marcus. They were in
dustrious and found employment
at once in this new country.
Having learned the cabinet MAX
ers' trade, Mr.. Meyers soon be-
came a valuable help to the great
fur trading company, and with
his own hands helped to build
the new fort at Marcus. In 1866
he engaged in mining and pros

Ihe funeral or the late LOuther
w. Meyers, who departed from
this life at his home at Meyers
Falls last Saturday morning, after
an illness of several weeks, the
result Of blood poison arising
from a surgical operation, took
place from the Congregational
church at that place last Monday
afternoon, interment being made
at the Meyers Falls cemetery,
Immediately west of town. Rev.
G. H. Wilbur, pastor of the Con-
gregatonal church of Colville,
preached the impressive sermon.
Appropriate selections of sacred
music were rendered by Mrs.
J. M. Williams, Mrs. G. H. Will
bur, Miss Jessie Kinsey and Mrs.
Macallan and Miss Macallan.
The pallbearers were R. Lee,
C. w. Winter, Donald Bradford,
M. w. Teeple, John B. Slater
and T. A. Winter.
The funeral was conducted un-
der the auspices of the Stevens
County Pioneer Association, of
which the deceased was presi-
dent, and many of the beautiful
floral tributes of love which en-
veloped the casket were placed
there by hands prompted by the
tender hearts of companions of
the early days of his life. From
remote parts of the county came
the pioneers of half a century to
pay their last loving tribute of
respect to him who had been a
father to every youth and a
brother to every citizen for so
many years of his residence in
this state, and more than a thou
sand people followed the funeral
cortege to the final resting place.
During his lifetime Mr.. Meyers
had made every reasonable prep
aration for his demise, and he
wrote a short note to be read at
his funeral in which he requested
that no one should mourn over
his departure. This brief request
was read at the opening of the
service.
At the close of the service in
the church Rev. Wilbur read the
following eulogy upon the life
and character of Mr.. Meyers,
written by John B. Slater, histo-
rian for the pioneer society:
In the death of Louther w.
Meyers, which occurred at his
home at Meyers Falls on Satur-
day morning, March 27, 1909,
the state of Washington has suf-
fered the loss of one of it's best
citizens, Stevens county SUBJ
stantial resident, the people and
community a staunch friend, and
the family a husband and father,
and whose sympathy, friendship
and loyalty have been deep
rooted, abiding in strength of
character and honesty of purpose
so grand in scope Of usefulness
that his life has been an inspira-

WELL KNOWN RAILROAD MAN WILL REPRESENT EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT OF SOUTHERN AND A. G. S. IN BIRMINGHAM.

He will re- port direct to w. W. Finley, who is president of both roads.
 While the official circulars announcing Mir. Sevier's appointment have not been promulgated 1t is understood that his new position is to become effective January i.

in a sled than an automobile, and if any thing should have happened to be across the path of the car there would have been nothing to do but for the car to hit it or make a desperate attempt to skid around.
 The manner in which a great many of the machines went up this hill, however. was an eloquent testimonial of the quail ity of most of the machines being manu- factured now. The old saying that one machine was the best is out of date, for there are so many good ones now that the class of best couldn't be held to a couple of dozen makes.
 Snow flakes as big as a quarter didn't seem to feeze the man who owned an auto, for apparently every machine in Birmingham was cavorting about on the business streets during the day Alto gether it was an inspiring sight, illustrat- ing as It did the real practicability of the automobile.
 A new plant has been opened in Bir- mingham during the past few days which should be gladly welcomed by automo- bilists. This Is the Southern Welding and Reclaiming company, at 510 North Twenty-sixth street, the welding method used in the shop being a process invented in France several months ago.
 By this process the Iightest aluminium part on up to the toughest steel may be welded and returned to it's original ef- iciency within the space of a few mo- meats. Aluminium gear cases and engine cylinders can be repaired by it in won- derful style, this process even welding cast iron nicely No Aux or wax is used but the process Is actually one of wold-. ing the flame from high pressure gas which is used being no larger than a pen cil point.

The sleet and snow which fell yester- day proved quite a test for automobiles and owners learned just how good or just how bad their machines were. A thick slush was formed by the snow and for glxidding purposes nothing better could have been found than this particular slush- It was extremely noticeable on Twentieth street hill and the dismal fail- ure Of some machines to make it up this sudden ascent was indeed laughable.
 While s5 per cent of the machines which tackled the hill managed to reach the apex with but little trouble, there were some % or 30 who had to back off and try another way to the crest of South Highlands. Coming down this hill. how ever, proved to be the nerve-w -wrecking problem. It was more like coming down

are the men who are making this new venture, which so far has met with suc- cess, One neat job done by them has been the welding together of number of cracked brass gongs used on the fire de- partment wagons. The result of the work showed the gongs to still have the full sound they originally had and not dead ened in the least.
 For the quick repairing of automobile parts the shop offers great advantages. In many instances 1t has often been nee essar yto order new parts from the fac tory, which caused long delays. but with this process of welding not only time Is saved but the cost of the new part.
 Automobile truck and delivery wagons have won sudden popularity in Birming- ham during the past two months Up to October 1 there have been but three or four auto wagons used here, but the ad- vantages to be derived from their use have been learned by the business peo- pie here. The Ferd Marx store has put in a line of light automobile delivery wagons and have experienced great re- suits with them already. The Coco-Cola Bottlfng works have been using large auto wagons for several weeks with ex- tremely satisfactory results.
 The time saved by the use of the auto wagon is a. great item. One light auto wagon, from accounts of those actually operating, can handle between two and three times the amount of business which a light wagon with horse would do. The ultimate outcome, it Is stated. Is a cheap CT mode of handling the delivery busi- ness and also a faster system.
 One auto company has placed an order for a number of these auto trucks. and they are due to arrive within the next few days. Many of them have already been sold.
 Reports from the Aurora Borealis are to the effect that Santa Claus Is going to stuff some nice autos in great many stockings this Christmas, and it is not believed a more appropriate gift could be presented. A few such gifts will be handed out in Birmingham next Satur- day.
