FIGHTERS BATTLE ON
 DEXTER AVE; ARRESTED

With his head swathed in bandages, J. F. Partin walked into police head quarters shortly after II o'clock Tues day night to give himself up to the police on charge of fighting. He had just come from a doctors office. where he had agreed to go home and present himself to the police in the morning.
 Prior to his arrival, J. M McCool had surrendered on the same charge, and at the same time Partin entered, he being released on bail.
 When Partin entered, McCool was standing with his back to him, and Partin said, "MeCool, you took me at a disadvantage. but my time will come 7"
 While he was saying this, he was edg1ng toward McCooI. Noticing tnIs. Captain Miles Smith quickly signalled to one of his officers. and as quickly that officer came from behind the pe- tItion and got between the men. thus avertlng what looked for moment like a fight right there.
 All of this was a sequel to an en- counter between the two men at Dex- ter Avenue and Lawrence Street an hour before. Both men give different versions as to now the fight started, McCool claiming that Partin declared he was an officer and that he was go- Ing to arrest him.
 Both men will have chance to eX- plain to the recorder just who caused the fight on Friday next.

ROOT CREATES SENSATION
NEW YORK SENATOR RELEA SEES
 TREASURY REPORT
While Acting for vice-President Sher- man. Former Secretary of state Unwittingly Presents an @
 Annual Report.

Washington. Dec. 7.-Senator Root of New York, presiding in the Senate to- day in the temporary absence of Vice. President Sherman, created, all un- known to him at the time, a sensa- ton among the newspaper men, whose effects were even international. Copies of the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury were in the hands of the newspare throughout this country and Europe. to be held in confidence for publication tomorrow afternoon. The report Itself was still unsigned on the desk of Secretary Mdcveagh in the treasury building.
 By some means as yet undeciphered, two printed copies of the report found their way to the desk of the Presi- dent of the Senate Mir. Root is a past master in the art of despatching routine business in the Senate. and he deftly handled the treasury report over the desk. with the routine announce ment customary in such cases. In- stantiy the keen-eared reporters of the Senate flashed to the wires the public document and the "release' clicked off to Chicago. San Francisco New York and to Europe
 It was we'll nigh two hours before the fact that blunder had been made was realized. Upon the Secretarys in- stance an effort was made to recall the release, but he soon came to appre- ciate that the mischief was in fact ir- reparable and consented to waive the teehnicality and the release was con- firmed.
 An amusing feature of the mix-up was in the fact that the report should

 Representatives Dent, Clayton, lief lin and a number of other Congress men from the South attended the after noon session of the Southern Commer- ,'lal Congress. There were many addi- tional delegates present today.
 The President sent a big batch of nominations to the Senate today but they were all recess appointments. The list includes H. Gordon Ashley, collec- tor of the port of Mobile. the census supervisors for Alabama and a few postmasters.
 Advocates of river and harbor i'm provements among Congressmen are much gratihed to hear that President Taft will later send tn a special mes sage on that subject.
 The opinion Is strong among the lawmakers that a general river and harbor bill will be passed this session and that 1t will carry more liberal ap- propriations than have been made for several years.

The functions of the Democratic State Executive Committee have as- sumed . peculiar and unusual impor- tance In view of the. present political conditions in Alabama. The commit tee can if 1t sees fit. call a Demo- cratic convention instead of the primary and at that convention either candidates be nominated for state of- ftces or platform of party principles enunciated-
 Nobody expects the committee to do away with primaries, but it is not Impossible that the committee may call a convention to declare the posi- ton of the party on issues of the next campaign. The committee has it in It's power to call a primary early next spring or to have the primary next August It Is therefore seen that the committee has the key to the present situation. although the committee has been but lightly considered in the talk of candidates and the coming cam paign.
 The committee when it was made up was controlled by the friends of Gov ernor Conner. The Governor saw to that when he was at the height of his power. at the time he began his ad- mfnistration. In order to get two Aae4nDefS or the old executive commit tee off the committee and have the covernor's friends named, the last state convention at the direction of his iieutenants changed the way of selecting the committeeman. Before that convntion the delegates from each congressional district selected their members. The delegations from the Second District wanted George w Jones of Montgomery and the delega- lions from the Fourth District wanted Carson Whitson of Talladega. To eliminate these gentlemen who had opposed him. the Governor in the primary. the system was so changed mat the convention as whole named tne committeeman from the floor of she convention.

 Mallory . Factor.
 Hon. H. s. D. Mallory, who has been attending the sessions of the Grand Lodge of Masons has met many friends and supporters in Montgomery among the visitors He is recognized as a strong factor in the race and all pros pective candidates take his strength into consideration. As to his opinion on prospective issues in the cam paign MT Mallory points to his state ment published last Sunday In which he says:
 .As I have heretofore said, and do now say. that I do not believe in the open saloon in Alabama. and I do not believe the vote of the people on November 29 means that our people want saloons. above all. However, I have always been and am now a Democrat. and I will stand unon and endeavor to carry out any platform that may be adopted by the Demo- cratic party.
 My training as a Democrat teaches me to submit to the voice of the majority of the people as expressed at the polls on November 29. and all though I have no retraction for a word uttered by me in my advocacy of the amendment, yet I have no criticism of any person for his posi- ton on the proposed amendment. and the peoples desire as so expressed will be my guide. However. I hope that the people may not be misled by the result of the election. With me. it was not a political question and my candidacy for governor was not involved there in. If I am elected governor of Ala bama. it wilfAhave no effect upon my conduct as democrat under demo- cratic platform in the administration of the office.
 This is a government of, for and by the people. They alone should rule. I think the question has been settled Yet I reassert that the repeal of the present law should not be con- sidered until 1t Is given a fair, con- scientious trial, and If the necessity arises it can be so amended as not to bear unjustly upon the masses. of the people,"

His splendid courage in standing out against radicalism in every form in the Senate, his honesty in demanding the keeping of campaign pledges. the ability and backbone he showed in the Senate, give him exceptional claims for the nomination.

SHELDON SERIOUSLY ILL
BUT INvHsTrGATTON OF INSURANCE
 COMPANY CONTINUES.
Charge That Company Made False Re ports May Involve Other Om- cerp--Grand Jury Begins
 It's Inquiry.

New York, Dec. 7.-The fact that George P. Sheldon is so Ill at his home in Connecticut .that he is expected to die will not cause an abandonment oi the commercial investigation and prose cution in the matters of the Phoenix Insurance Company. of Brooklyn. fro.r the presidency of which Sheldon was removed at the instigation of the insu- rance department
 W. H. Hotchkiss,. superintendent ot the insurance department declared tha, the Phoenix Insurance Company through its president had been in the habit of lending considerable sums to state insurance officials. and that for twenty-two years the company had not been investixa xated by the depart ment.
 Although the investigation thus far shows that Sheldon managed the af- fairs of the company alone and without consulting the board of directors, MT Hotchkiss declares that each of the di- rectors is responsible under the law.
 The charge that the company has consistently made false reports of its transactions and condition to the insu- rance department may involve other officers than Mir. Sheldon.
 investigation into the affairs of the company was begun today by the grand jury.
 The witnesses summoned included a number of insurance men and repre- sentatives from the office of Superin- tendent of Insurance Hotchkiss and banking and brokerage houses.
 Henry Evans. who in this crisis has been called by prominent stockholders to assume the chairmanship of the executive committee of the Phoenix In- surance Company. issued an official statement this afternoon declaring his belief that the companys capital of sl.500.000 Is intact and that there will be net surplus of about .$500.000.
 Lawyers who are following the case, point out that the first matter to be inc ,estigated will be in connection with the alleged specific irregular acts in use Of the company's funds by it's for mer President: and If any indictment Is found, 1t Is said, 1t will be upon a charge of larceny.
 Edwin H. Carter, connected with a brokerage firm of this city, with which Sheldon is said to have dealt. was one of the witnesses before the grand jury today. R. T.

THE CAREFUL SHOPPER
 THINKS OF TIRED WORKERS

Just now when the Montgomery stores and shops are dressed in holi- day attire and clerks and employees are waiting eagerly for the Chris mas rush is the proper time to shop. Later clerks will become tried and, perhaps, listless. because. of overtime hours and rushing business and may not be able to give everyone as care- full or prompt attention as is de- sired.
 But the remedy is easily applied. Do your Christmas shopping early. That Is, do 1t now. There's less sat- isfaction for yourself and the tired clerk. overwrought and nervous, if the shopping Is delayed until a few days before Christmas. And there's a vast amount of personal and re- lative satisfaction to be had If you shop early and do your Christmas shopping now.
