AN IMPUDENT CHAUFFEUR

Washington, August 4.-(Special. AL
bert johnson, a local automobilist, as
saulted Representative He1in of Alabama
in the Riggs House this afternoon and
but for the timely interference of Rep
resentative Ollie James, the big Ken
lucky congressman, the result of the en-
counter would have been serious one
for Johnson.
While walking from the capitol after
adjournment of the House an automo-
bile just grazed the congressman. Ac-
cording to them it was going at the rate
of rs miles on hour and another step
would have meant instant death to the
pedestrians.
The machine stopped several yards
down the street and the two congress-
men walked to 1t to take the number In
order to report them for violating the
speed law.
Having made a note of the machine
number they proceeded on the way to
their hotel. Johnson followed them In
the machine and after going couple of
blocks hailed them demanding to know
why they had taken his number Accord

Washington, August 4.-(Special )-Ow-
ing to the maximum and minimum pro-
visions of the new tariff law, the free
breakfast table, will become a thing of
the past. at least so far as coffee is
concerned.
After March 81, next, the maximum and
minimum provision goes into effect a
duty of 25 per cent ad valorem will be
collected upon coffee from Brazil, which
furnishes over four-f1fths of the coffee
consumed in the United States. Brazil.
It Is declared, is not in position to meet
the demands for revocation of their bounty
system and accordingly the Aldrich tariff
bill will automatically place a duty upon
coffee of one-fourth of its value.
In discussing the matter today Repre-
sentative Clayton of Alabama said:
1.-THE imports of coffee into the United
States in 1900 amounted to 100000 bags.
SO per cent of which came from Brazil,
two-thirds of which was Santos and one
third Rio.
'The Brazilian coffee is subject to an
export duty and will, therefore, be sub
ject to the maximum tariff feature OF

IRON PRODUCTION
is INCREASING

Cleveland, August 4-The Iron Trade
Review tomorrow will say:
Pig iron reduction during July. a 81
day month, was at the rate of 25, 900, ,0OC
tons per annum. Coke and anthracite
furnaces produced 2,0SS,620 tons as COM
pared with 1,929,929 tons in June and for
the first time since October. 1907 has
the monthly pig iron output equaled
100000 tons.
The daily melt In July was 67,375 tons,
against 64,331 tons in June, and the num-
Der of furnaces in blast was increased
from 240 to 259. The scarcity of scrap
is resulting in the use of an extremely
heavy proportion of iron in open hearth
furnaces hence the output of steel is not
correspondipgly large.
The production of pig iron by Steel
corporation furnaces during July was
approximately 100000 TONS breaking by
a considerable margin the record estab-
hshed In October, 1906, of COS, ,431 tons.
Taking the Ensley and Gary plants into
consideration the corporation furnaces
are now operating at a trifle over 92
per cent of maximum capacity.
Orders for structural steel placed dur
ing July approximate 600 tons.

up fight to keep out. the King Great
er Birmingham bill is likely to pass
both the house and the senate with
ease. The house committee voted to

Men not altogether in sympathy with
prohibition as a part of the organic

stitutional prohibition bill set for to-

is safe not only in the house but in
the senate
Speaker Carmichael stated his belief
in the potency of the bill. but held a
long conference with Brooks Lawrence,
the Anti-Saloon league leader late in

county. has presented new amend
ment, out of which 1t hopes to secure
permission to cut off 450 miles of the
lower end of Jefferson for a county of
its own. Friends of Bessemer argue
that with the objection of Bibb, Shelby
and Tuscaloosa eliminated and with a
plea for settling the agitation for all
time the bill may be passed. Chairman
Jenkins of the constitutional committee
is in sympathy with this newest move
for dividing the big mineral section

Mr.. Hammer said he had as good right
to deviate from the platform as his
prohibition friends. 1t had been found
that only rich men can run for gov
ernor. under the primary system and
the outlook is that If the same plans

gument would prevail. He did not
seem greatly in love with the primary
system, as 1t now works out the cost
of office being enormously high. He
was in no hurry to rush into passage
of the resolution even though he might
be for it.
Mr.. Strother was for the resolution

Bar Dawgs Not to Lend.

An Arkansas man who was In
Chicago a few weeks ago said
when President Roosevelt was In
the Southwest on one of his bear
hunting trips it was found that
the dog, which had become sick
on the train going down, would
not hunt. The president and
the members of his party were
greatly put out and a search for
good bear dogs was inaugurated.
After the party had suffered a
good deal of Encouragement, a
native of the country brought Id
word that a negro who lived at
the edge of a nearby clearing,
haG some fine bear dogs, but it
was said that there was no pos
sibility of persuading him to
loan them to anybody.
HE will lend them to me, ."
said the president in his we'll
known decisive manner, and he
mounted his horse and started fol-
the clearing.

Roosevelt when he was met by
the old colored man in front of
his cabin, you have some fine
