THEIR COMMITTEES
General Feeling in Congress That In
sursents Are to Be Disciplined
State Situations Affected.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-Speaker
Cannon is expected to announce his
decision with regard to committee as
signments today. That they will not
be altogether satisfactory is already
indicated by gossip heard about the
house chamber
The selection which is expected 70
cause a great deal Of comment and in
cidently considerable concern, is the
designation of Representative Weeks
of Massachusetts to be chairman Of
the committee on post offices and post
roads.
1t is understood that Mr.. Weeks does
not favor the postal savings bank
proposition, and that his attitude with
regard to that legislation, which was
proposed and recommended by George
Won L. Meyer of Massachusetts. for
merly postmaster general, has had
some influence with Mr.. Cannon in Sc
lecting Mr. Weeks for the head of the
postof1lce committee
Several of the Massachusetts con
gressional delegation look upon a plan
to appoint Mr. Weeks to the head Of
the committee as clever coup on
the part of Senator Cranes followers
to endanger the chances of the op-
posing factions in the coming senator

Representative Gardner of Massa-

be affected by the appointment Of Mr..
Weeks because of his afiiliation with
the Lodge forces, is to lose his chair

STEINHEIL CASE
 PUT IN THE SHADE

Paris, February 5-Interset in the fam ous Steinheil murder mystery has been temporarily eclipsed by the trial for mur- der of Renard, a steward, and Couters, a footman, employed by the late August Remy, a wealthy retired banker, who was stabbed to death in his room in the Rue de la Pepiniere last June. The killing was done with dessert knife and a duan- tity of money and jewels of great value were taken. Some time after Couters and Renard were arrested, accused of the crime, and the former confessed, saying that Renard stabbed the banker while he held him on the bed. The newspapers are devoting pages to the trial and large crowd, half of which is composed of women, struggles daily to enter the court room.
 The warning of the presiding justice that much of the testimony is unfit to be heard seems only to have added to the eagerness of the public to follow the de- tails. Couters explained how Renard and himself, entirely nude, crept into their victims room, and holding their victim on his pillow and repeatedly stabbing him with a knife. Renard dramatically in- sisted that he is the victim of cold blooded plot and a fiendish crime which Couters alone committed.
 The testimony today was so disgusting that the justice several times ordered the courtroom cleared of auditors.

 Their Filing Cabinets and Moving Shelv- ing will take 3S 1-3 per cent more gools in the same floor space and is practically dust proof. Each section or cabinet has an index, and the attendant or clerk only moves a lever to bring the desired goods or books to them. It is decidedly the most novel useful and time saving de- vice your reporter ever saw.
 MT. H. J. Davis is the president and general manager. His long experience in the machinery business, together with his being practical mechanic and sales man makes him well qualified to take charge of this enterprise.
 MT.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN

Although there was no news of an un-
 usual nature in railroad circles yesterday,
 much activity among officials local and
 visiting, gave the situation a most business-like aspect Alex Bonnyman, general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, spent the day in the city and spoke con- corning the future of the Atlanta, Br-
 mingham and Atlantic with confidence. He did not comment, however, on the fact that the Birmingham Coal and Iron com
 pany had gone into hands of receivers. D. D. Curran, the well-known president of the New Orleans and Northeastern, was a prominent visitor to Birmingham yesterday. Mir Curran, who was accom-
 panied by Mrs. Curran, spent the day with Maj. F. Y. Anderson, who is land

There was a clash at the depot today when the police accompanied one of the detectives to get a barrel of pints that had been shipped from Louisville to one of the detectives under an assumed name, private citizen opposing the objection that no man had a right to get such goods shipped under an assumed name. The arrival of other policemen on the scene prevented shoot ing scrape.

AC TON DELAYED UPON
 JAPANESE SCHOOL BILL

 favored nations. This claim our govern ment recognizes and stands ready to en- force. If the treaty as claimed, guar antees to Japanese children the rights and privileges accorded to the children of oth- CT nations, then those rights and privi- leges, so long as the treaty remains, should be observed; and if our morals and citizenship are to be endangered thereby, then the treaty so far as it guarantees that right, should be annulled by the general legislative body.
 Why the treaty could not and does not require state to maintain a system of public schools or to admit all citizens resident therein, yet it is contended by the authorities in Washington that the United States can by treaty assure to the resident citizens of that nation a treat ment and enjoyment of rights and priv ileges equal to those afforded to the citi- zens of any other foreign nation, and if a state could see fit to extend privileges to alien residents as well as to citizen residents, the state would not be allowed to discriminate against the citizens of that country with which the treaty has been made. If the state grants certain privileges to the citizens of one foreign country ti cannot deny them to the cti- zens of another, having the same rights by treaty.
 Exclusion From Schools.
 Tt is further contended that if a state chooses to supply education as a govern mental function it cannot discriminate by excluding from it's public schools the alien children of any particular na- tion enjoying treaty rights
 Tn speaking of the action of the school board of San Francisco, Secretary Root said: No state can set up it's laws as against the grant of any particular rights, privilege or immunity, any more than against the form of another right, priv ilege or immunity. No state can say a

LONG PISTOL LAW
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL Suffers Same Fate As the King
 Greater Birmingham Bill RECORD IS DEFECTIVE
Supreme Court Also Passes on Feature of East Birmingham Case, Refus- ing to Grant a Rehearing.
 Other Cases.

Montgomery, February 5.-(Special.)- The long pistol law of the last legisla- ture is unconstitutional. It falls down under section 62 of the state constitution. wherein it is stipulated that every bill properly passed must show on the journal to have been referred to a committee and acted upon and reported in regular way This bill was taken from the adverse calender of the senate and there is noth- ing to show it was ever reported from the senate committee.
 The bill suffers the same fate as the King Greater Birmingham act, and goes out for the same reason. This question was. not raised in the lower court of Bes- semer, when Lon Tyler was tried and fined $25, and the case was affirmed a few days ago by the supreme court How ever, on application for rehearing the question was raised and as the indictment operated to deprive the accused of his lb- ertv the court decided that it was no good At the same time. in case from Birmingham the court refused to con- sider a point raised after appeal from the lower court, holding that the lower court was the place for it.
 Case of Sigsbee.
 In the case of J. N. Sigsbee, from Bir- mingham. the court refused to heed an application for rehearing on the ground that while there is a new question in the application, it is such that was not raised in the lower court, and the lower court ought to be allowed to pass on it.
 The question of what will be done with the cases of those men convicted under the pistol law is very nice one, though there is no recourse. The prisoners will have to get released by habeas corpus. Lawyers asked about the situation say that the question ought to have been raised at once whenever an accused was brought to trial, and if that had been done the bill would have been knocked out long ago.
 The pistol bill knocked out is known as
