CARRIE NATION
 ROTTEN EGGED
Her Appearance at London Music Hall
 Very Brief Last Night.

London. Jan. 2e.-"They stoned the prophets of old and I guess ought not to object to a few eggs" was Car rie Nations comment to-day on the sudden ending of her advertised meet ing at Canterbury Music Hall last night She had scarcely begun her harangue when 9 shower of eggs fell around and on her. The curtain was rung down Immediately. Earlier in the evening Carrie was jeered off the stage at the Paragon Music Hall on the East Side.
 ssWhen I agreed to appear in London music halls" Mrs. Nation said to-day "the managers said they would see that I got protection. That is the pro- lection I got. It would be far better to be in a cannihal island. London Is mad because I say it is the worst place on earth The attacks on me prove 1t. '
 Mrs. Nation has put the London po- lice in a quandary. She is such curiosity that her every public appear ance causes trouble and it is probable that she will be prohibited from con- tinuing her music hall engagements.

BRIDGEPORT BOAT SENT TO BOMBAY Motor Launch to be Used in Light lew.
 ing and Oil Transfers in India.

Bridgeport will be represented at Bombay. India, by a 25 foot motor boat shipped yesterday by the Bridge port Motor Go. The boat is probably the best ever turned out by the com pany and is similar to the launch of the Bridgeport Yacht club. It is seven foot beam and is equipped with seven horse power Bridgeport motor with all the latest devices in reversing gear, underwater exhaust, and side steering wheel. The boat went to New York on the Naugatuck last night and will reach it's destination by way of the Suez canal taking about two months to make the journey.
 The boat. which was ordered by New York agent. is the first to be sent to Bombay by the company. Last year about 25 boats were shipped to Bur- nah. The boat will be used as an oil carrier and for light towing purposes. The company expects to receive more orders for the same kind of craft after this one has been tried out. The crate in which the boat was packed bore legends which will make Bridgeport known as manufacturing centre wherever 1t is seen.

 A gentleman held an interesting con- versation with a man in Texas whc was enthusiastic upon opportunities te make money quick in his region. He spoke of using little children in the cotton field.

 This child labor problem is national in its proportions. We may join in earnest efforts to save the child by legislation, such as is now adopted in almost all the States of the Union; we may become members supporting the child labor committee in their agita- tion, and we may belong to the Con- sumers' League for any one of three reasons or motives:

 MT. Packard had much to say on this topic and then looked over the field in America where the tendency is in the same direction. He gave summary of the forces which are at work to give the poorest child in America his right to life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The TaIkino Pots.

'Yes, these pots of mine are all right" said the potter. '"rhey don't talk, though"
 "No pots do."
 Don't they? Look here."
 He took from the shelf a strange crude pot daubed yellow and blue that had the shape of duck. He filled it with water; then he poured the water out again. "Quack, quack, quacky' said the pot distinctly. Every gurgle was distinct quack. There's art for you" said the potter. Every gurgle of that duck pot is quack. Wonder full Aztec art! And have an Aztec pig pot that grunts like a pig and dog pot that barks like a dog. Won derful chaps. those Aztec potter fel- lows! I wish I knew their secret.

Carving scissors.


 "I thought l knew all about scis- sors," said the man. "I had seen tail- ors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth, dressmakers' scissors for cutting fimsy fabrics and lace and still other scissors for cutting paper, finger nails. grape vines, all kinds of metals and even for shearing sheep, but in spite of that wide knowledge of scissors was pug zled when saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lying in the showcase.
 "'What are these scissors forr I asked the clerk.
 "'Carving meat he said. With scissors of this kind carving becomes mere child's play
 never saw anybody use them,' said I.
 Nobody does use them,'. said the clerk-'that is, only very few. In Europe carving scissors are popular because they cut right through meat, gristle, bone and all, but it takes little practice to learn to manipulate the things, and nobody in this country has patience enough for that.'

MANY LEGISLATORS
REMAIN IN MONTGOMERY

While many of the Legislators left for
their homes yesterday afternoon and
last night to spend Saturday and Sun
day with their families. q large per
cent of the States solons remained In
Montgomery and win remain until the
meeting of the Legislature Monday at
IL O'clock.
Those who remained in Montgomery
last night left the hotel Hobbies and
sought relief from the intense humidity
of the day with trolley rides about the
city and on the Nettie Quilts excursion
down the Alabama River. Several par.
ties for the river trip were organized,
but many of the Representative and
Senators did not hear of the steamer
trip. and late at night when the re-
turning Representatives appeared In
the almost deserted hotel lobbies. de-
clared that they would not be left Out
on the proposition next week.
Yesterday afternoon saw those OF the

the bill would be amended materially.
thus striking, out the objection. which
has been voiced by many representa-
tiyes at the extra session against Its
passage.
Section 16 Of the bill provides that
candidates to be voted for at all cleo
lions at which a Mayor and commits
sioners, or a commissioner are to be
elected, under the provisions of the
act shall not be nominated by any
primary election or any convention OF
any political party, providing PEN
atty for q violation of the provisions
of the section.
Since the introduction of the bfil. 1t
has been rumored that the bill would
meet with serious objection on the
part of many Legislators on account
Of the elimination of party primaries.
1t was claimed that the elimination OF
the primary elections would again
place power in the hands of the negro,
especially in the smaller cities adopt
ing the commission form of govern
ment. The objection was not urged 90
much by representatives from the iarg-
er cities, except, so II Is UNDERSTOOD
from sympathy for the smaller towns

been referred will, therefore, report
favorably on the bill with an amend

NAVAL STORES BILL
SENATOR HAMBURGER PROVIDES
FOR ITS INSPECTION.
Duties Of Inspector Would BE To
Gauge TurpentiYe, Grade And

Providing for state inspector of
naval stores, which embodies turpen-
tine and rosin, q bill was offered by
Senator Hamburger Of Mobile yester-
day in the Senate.
The naval stores business forms
probably the most important portion
Of commercial life Of south Alabama,
and the state supervision Of the pro-
ducts is significant. to that portion of
the state. of q new step in the impor-
ant industry.
The inspectors. by the provisions of
the bill. are to be named by the gov
ernor, and to be appointed as many
as he sees fit. for q period of four
years. His duties are to guage tur-
pentine. to grade and weigh rosin. not
Ing the quality and amount of both
substances. The naval stores are to
be branded after being sinspectedA with
certificate of inspection attached.
II the turpentine and rosin Is found
deficient, It must be condemned

ship products which have not been in
spected. and marked, or to tamper with
the marks or products after inspec-
ton.
The marks are to be. for virgin pro-
ducts, "V." for yellow dip 49," for
hard, "H."
The inspector is to be paid by fees
of six cents for each rosin inspection.
and nine cents for each turpentine In
spection.
The law is fashioned after one long

yesterday by the Legislature, becomes

the Senate without much trouble.
It Is House Bill No. ~. which calls
for the deposit in the State Treasury
of 5000 worth of securities of Alabama
state, County or Municipal ponds, upon
the organization OF an insurance CON-
pany, and the additional deposit OF

Montgomery Senator Wants Money

Probably Made His Last Motion As q
state senator when He Asked

notice that IL would be moved that
Senate bill number 60 be taken from

which had been collected for a speci-
fled purpose for any other purpose.

Of such offense at fine of not less
than twice the amount used, or i'm

aimed at the state administration.
which has been charged. time and
again since the last legislative ses-
sion. with using special state funds
for a purpose other than for which
they were collected. thereby covering.

prevents any citizen of Alabama from

Inasmuch as there will be no ses-
sion of the Senate today, yesterday
was the last day of Senator Teasley's
service, and Montgomery county Is
without representation in the State
