 The news from Washington fully con- firms the preconceived theories of the men who represent the interests" From the beginning they have been frank to say that they had lo fears that Congress would do anything really to injure the business interests of the country. They fully realized that tariff revision was in the hands of it's friends, and the latest analysis of the Senate bill proves that in the main what revision is going on is up- ward rather than downward.
 Os some accounts this outcome is re- gretted by the longer headed representa- lives of the great interests. They feel that unless there is real revision down. ward, agitation will continue until the party in power is changed and something drastic put through. As insurance against this calamity, however it is noted that the leaven of protection is working al- most as strongly in the democratic party as in the republican ranks.
 This is held to be a guarantee against anything actually harmful being done in Washington now or at any time for many years to come injurious to the protected industries and allied businesses.

CHILDREN MAY
 BE DISAPPOINTED
SALVATION ARMY REPORTS THAT STOCKINGS FOR CHRISTMAS TREE TOMORROW HAVE BEEN COMING IN SLOWLY.

Capt. J. A. Harvey of the Salvation Army states that the Christmas stockings which they had been depending upon for their Chriistmas tree tomorrow afternoon have been very slow in coming in. The Salvation Army proposes to have Christ mas tree at 8 O clock tomorrow at the hall for the poor children of the city and Captain Harvey states that the Sal vation Army workers have given away about 300 tickets, after careful investiga- ton of destitute cases in this city. and these tickets entitle the holder to one of the stockings from the tree. Thus far the Army has not anything like enough stockings to go around.
 The plan originally suggested by Captain Harvey for the stockings was that those who wished to assist should place one chiid's stocking inside another and fill it with anything which child would liks. but preferably things which would be of practical service. He requested that these stockings be sent to the hall or that headquarters be notified and some one would be sent to get them. He stated last night that unless there is a general response to the appeal a large number of children will have to be disappointed tomorrow afternoon

]. w. PRICE KNOCKED DOWN AND
 BADLY INJURED ON SECOND Av- ENuE-WlTNEssEs UNABLE TO
 IDENTIFY OCCUPANTS OF CAR.


 Two automobile accidents, one of q quite serious nature in which insult was heaped upon injury, occurred in Birmingham yesterday. The victims were J. W. Price of Mt. Pinson, who conducts a small business on Second avenue and Twenty fifth street, and the son of T. c. Bosworth, who re- sides at 2229 Second avenue.
 The accident which befell MT. Price was apparently due entirely to the recklessness of the driver, who coulr not be identified, and the indifference which he displayed by speeding up his machine after striking the man was pronounced by spectators as little less than outrageous.
 MT Price, 1t seems, was standing on Second avenue and Twenty second street talking to a friend last night about 10 o'clock, when the automobile struck him. Witnesses state that the machine was running at such a rate of speed that 1t knocked the victim fully 20 feet and then ran over the pros trate form.

 There were two white men in the machine and instead of stopping to as- sIst their victim it is stated that they set the machine to running at more rapid pace and disappeared. Those who witnessed the accident were un- able to distinguish the number on the back of the car and the police have not been able to locate the reckless speeders.
 MT. Price was picked up and carried to the Copeland Solomon Turner in- firmary in Lige Loy's ambulance. It is believed that the mans injuries are not of a dangerous nature, although it Is considered little less than miracu- lous that he escaped death. A long gash was cut through his scalp to the skull His legs and one hip are very badly bruised and one arm was badly injured. While no bones were broken the injuries inflicted are of very painful nature and MT. Price will be confined for several days.

Young Bosworth was riding a bicycle and was struck very lightly. His wheel was somewhat broken up but the machine was stopped before the boy was hurt.
