 General News.

Bessemer, February 5.-(Speeial. .)-But for the timely arrival of Deputy Sheriff George W. Jones and the rushing to Bessemer with Jim Brown negro charged with assaulting Mrs. Robinson, a young married woman. near the United State Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry com pany, it is very probable that the en- ragged people near where the crime was committed would have visited vengeance on the negro. From what can be learned the negro choked Mrs. Robinson and still had hold of her when her father arrived and caught him. holding him until the officers arrived. In the mean time the employees of the pipe shop had been dismissed for the noon hour and soon the crowd began to mutter and when Sheriff Jones arrived he saw that he must get away with his prisoner at once. Jones jumped into a vehicle near by and drove hurriedly to Bessemer and caught the next car to Birmingham, where the negro was safely jailed. It has been stated this afternoon that Brown was a crazy negro and was not responsible for what he did. but this did not calm the excited people. Brown is said to be about 30 years of age, but whether he lives here or not has not been learned. Mrs Robinson, beyond the scare and the choking, was uninjured.

 calfornia's Welcome.
 After Magdalena came the excursion of the fleet to the California resorts and there was apparently a never-ending pro- gramme of merrymaking. At San Diego Coronado Beach), at the ports of Los Angeles, at Santa Barbara at Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Francisco, the peo- pie of California received the fleet with wild acclaim. It was the first time that such an array of fighting vessels had been seen on the Pacific coast ana Cali fornia celebrated with a hospitality for which the people of the state are noted. A trip to Puget Sound took the fleet to Seattle, Tacoma and Bellinghdm and these cities offered an entertainment which ranked with the very best of the entire trip.
 When the ships set sail out of San Francisco for the return trip there were many predictions that they would be left in the Pacific and that events might make such a course desirable Invitations had been accepted for visits to Australia, to China and Japan and there was never a deviation from the outlined plans. The fleet had done exactly what the author ities at Washington said it would, but in a manner which surprised and gratified them to the fullest extent.
 South Pacific Trip.
 The story or the heets visit to Hono- lulu, to Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne an1 Albany in Australia, to Yokohama, to Annoy to Manila and to the ports of call on the way home through the Suez are tn rppal welcomes extended in Australia and Japan left nothing to be asked either in lavishness of entertainment or in sincerity of pur- pose.
 The batteships had their schedule brought them sooner to the eastern end of the Suez might have played d notable part in succoring the stricken people of Messina. As it was the services of the ships were offered, but the relief plans had already developed so as not to re- quire them. In a way the battleship fleet, however, accomplished much. Store ships ladea with supplies for the fighting ves- sels were dispatched by the home gov ernnient and officers and men were glad to give up the solid foodstuffs and deli cacies from the fleet and the hrst division of four vessels under Admiral Sperry called at Naples to express sympathy and sorrow The battleship Illinois was the only one of the American fighting vessels to really enter the earthquake zone This ship went to Messina and 400 American sailors searched the ruins

 In the Mediterranean.
 After visits to various Mediterranean ports and accepting the Inequalities of half a dozen nations, the sixteen ships gathered again at Gibraltar and sailed for home Saturday, February G. They will be met at sea, about 1000 miles from shore. by the third or home" squad ron of the Atlantic fleet, consisting of four battleships and five cruisers. Even the last leg of the famous journey is to be given over to work. There will be daily drills and maneuyers and inspection by the commander-in-chief of every ves- sel on the way over. President Roose- velt will greet the fleet on February 2, from the bridge of the Mayhower, at the point from which he bade farewell fourteen months ago.
 There will be two strangers in the fleet when it reaches here-the Nebraska and the Wisconsin, boths Pacific built, which replaced the Maine and Alabama, de- tached at San Francisco, and sent home in advance. The Maine will be- the flag ship of the welcoming squadron
 At Manila Bay.
 At Manila bay the ships spent three weeks at the target, engaged in full bat tie practice Battle practice is at much longer range than record practice and is really a test of what the gun pointers developed at record practice can do when the ships are firing under battle condi- tions and at battle distance The battle practice at Manila, held under the new fire control system, showed an improve ment in many instances of 1G0 per cent oyer the gunnery records of a year ago. Composition of Fleet. The composition of the fleet as it re- turns is as follows:
 First squadron, first division, Rear Ad- miral Charles s. Sperry, commander-in- chief: Connecticut, flagship, Capt. Hugo Osterhaus Kansas, Capt. Charles E. Vree- land; Minnesota, Capt. John Hubbard lAVermont. Capt. Frank F. Fletcher.

CONTRACTS LET
 FOR NEW SEWERS
UPON RECOMMENDATION OF KEN- DRIck CITY COMMITTEE GIVES OUT WORK WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $24o,ooo. fa

In pursuance to call issued Saturday the street committee met yesterday at noon and awarded contracts for the con struction of the sanitary sewerage sys- tenn for the southsde, the sale of bonds for which had been authorized by aa election of the people.
 Contractors Turner, Dunn &s Lalande, and Burkhalter were awarded the con tracts, and each of the contractors will do complete sections. These three firms submitted the lowest bids on the respec- tive sections. The cost of the sewerage system will amount to about $240 GOO.
 The reason for the meeting yesterday at noon was the fact that Julian Ken drick, consulting engineer of the. city, was compelled to leave Birmingham for Chicago last nigh.
 The importance of the matter rendered the aldermen exceptionally cautious in awarding the contracts, and much time has been spent in the consideration of the deal. Engineer Kendrick has gone over the entire situation in detail and it was on his advice that the contracts were let. Prior to the action of the com mittee, Harry Jones asked the advice of the engineer, and MT. Kendrick advised letting the bids to the three contractors making the three lowest bids
 There was practically a full attend ance of the members of the committee. Alderman Burnett was absent but put in an appearance immediately after ad- journment. The members of the com mittee do not anticipate any attempt on the part of the council as a whole to | oppose the action taken.

Lamar, charged with violating the prohibition law, brought in a verdict of not guilty The jury was out only three minutes.

Five Years
 of Heart Trouble Cured by Dr. Miles Heart Remedy

Before I began taking pr. Miles Heart Remedy I had been suffering from heart trouble for over five years. 1 had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distress ing palpitation. 1 had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before l could see a marked change in my condition. When I had taken six bottles I was cured"
 MRS. C. C. GORKEY, Northfeld, Va.
 If there is fluttering or palpi- .tation it is an indication of a weakness of the nerves and mus cles of the heart. It is not neces- sarily diseased-just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles Heart Rem edy. Get a bottle from your druggist, take it according to di- rections, and if it does not bene- lit he will return your money.

To PREVENT FRAUD
IN CUSTOMS PORTS

New York, May 15.-Self registering
scales are to be installed by the treas
ury department as an additional pre-
caution to properly protect the gov
eminent in collecting duty on imports.
Several years ago, General James
Clarkson, surveyor of the port, recon-
mended that automatic scales be used,
and now following the many recent
disclosures concerning false weighing,
the system is to be installed at once.
The scales were constructed under
government supervision at the Phil
adelphia mint. IN the new system, all
the mechanism will be above, instead
of beneath. the platform, and the
weight of every load will be registered
automatically On a tape in a locked
compartment, and will also be shown
on a dial, from which the we1gher
will take his figures for the assess
ment of duty. The figures on the
tape and on the weigher's tally sheets
may later be compared.

STRIKE SITUATION
SOMEWHAT BETTER

Paris, May 15.-Striking postal en-
ployes, at a meeting yesterday after
noon, adopted a resolution appealing
to the worlxmen's organizations to
make common cause with them. The
meeting was attended by represent
atives of other workmen's organiza-
tions, who delivered inflammatory
speeches, promised the postal employ
es immediate support and threatened,
if necessary, to place themselves I'M
der the direction of the revolutionary
general federation of labor.
The strike of the postmen itself, ap-
parently has lost ground. The rank
and file of the men seemingly are
convinced that the agitators are act
ing for their personal end and as tools
of the revolutionary proletariat or
CARNATIONS, and they hesitate to risk
losing their permanent situations and
pensions.
At CHARTERS and DIXON yesterday,
employees, in view of the attitude TAX
en- by parliament in connection with
the strike, voted to return to work.
Ii was reported last night that the
strikers in their desperation, again
are cutting telegraph wires in Paris
and the provinces.

EP|SCOPAL|ANS
DISCUSS TENETS
LEADING DlVlNES STRIVE FOR
VISIBLE CHURCH UNITY, IN
NATIONAL CONGRESS.

Boston, May 15.-The outlook for a
visible church unity was the topic
which greatly interested a large audi
ence yesterday at the Episcopal
church congress, which concluded it's
sessions after a number of eminent
men had spoken. The conclusion
REACHED was that there would be no
visible church unity without full rec
ognition of the validity of priesthood
and the sacramento system. One of
the speakers expressed the opinion
that no help toward the desired end
can be expected from the Roman
Catholic church until the era of the
primary at Rome supplants that Of
the papacy. Bishop William Cros-
well Doane of Albany, N. Y, thought
that the possibility of visible church
unity is not likely to be realized in
this world.
The Episcopal church was ar
raigned by Rev. DR.. William F. Faber,
ID. D., Detroit. Mich, for what he
classed as lack of unity within it's
own ranks.

TO ALL HIGH SCHOOLS.
Madison. May Is.

Madison, May 10.
A substitute bill for S14a, legalizing
boxing, was reported in to the assem-
bly, at the adjourned session yester-
day afternoon by the committee on
judiciary.
The bill, which was drafted by Mr..
Brew, places boxing exhibitions in
cities of the first, second and third
class, under the control of the com
mon council. Any club, society or as
ISOLATION may obtain a license upon
payment of $25 and posting bond of
$1,000 to assure the conduct of the
exhibition under the restrictions inn
posed by the law. No boy under IS
will be permitted to don the gloves
act and no contests will be allowed on
Sundays or legal holidays. A proviso
is attached requiring reputable ply
stefan TO be present during an exhi-
bition A limit on the time of the
contest is fixed at thirty minutes. Any
violation of the law is made a Grim
inal Alfonso punishable by severe
fine or imprisonment, or both.
Mr.. Viebahn made another effort to
prevent the advancement of the Wehr-
vein bill opening the doors of the
state university to the graduates of
any high school in the state, and the
measure was also opposed by Mr..
Dorner. The bill was read third
time and passed by an overwhelming
vote, the house thus sustaining the
stand in favor of the bill taken few
days ago by Speaker Bancroft.
The transportation committee bill
requiring street car conductors to ask
passengers if they desire transfers
was passed without debate.
The judiciary committee bill in
creasing the penalty for kidnapping
to life Imprisonment was advanced to
third reading.

COMMITTEE AS AGAINST CUM
MINIS PROPOSAL.
BEvERIDGE PROPOSES INCREASE
ON TOBACCO DUTY-MoNEY
TILTS WITH ROOT.

Washington, May 15.-The commit
tee on finance was upheld when the
senate yesterday voted down an
amendment, by Senator Cummins, to
lower the duty on round iron, etc., by
a. vote of 80 to AZ, and upheld the
house rate which was recommended
by the senate committee Almost the
entire session was given up to debate
on the profits of the United States
steel corporation and toward the end
of the day personalities were freely in
dulged in by the senators. This oc-
Cured after Senator Root had spoken
in defense of the finance committee
and in criticism of those senators who
had complained of the failure of that
committee to provide more ample in
formation concerning the various
schedules. Senator Money, addressing
himself directly to the senator from
New York, resented what he charac-
terized as a lecture to the senate, and
said that if the senator from New
York desired less speaking in the
body, he should do less of it him.
self Senator Beveridge proposed an
amendment to the tariff bill, increas-
ing the tax on tobacco and its prod
ucts. and charged that by continuing
the short weight packages of the
Spanish war period, the tobacco trust
was reaping a harvest of S21 ,000, 600
a year.
