 One night while walking on the street a man came up to me and, say ing T want you" slipped handcuffs on my wrists. He was joined by another man, and the two took me to the city jail and locked me up in cell. I learned later that they had made a charge of burglary against me, Of course told them that was no crim. final, but what good did it do?

Some time after this one of these men came to me one day and stared at me for some time, Then l was told that one of the pris- oners had been mistaken for me. This prisoner was pointed out to me, and though l had several times seen him he was a new convict-the likeness be tween us had not occurred to me. It's singular how other people see like nesses which we don't see ourselves. But after awhile noted that the man was exactly my height and build, and his face was shaped much like mine

The fact that this man looked like me didn't seem to stand for much with them against the fact that we were both convicts under the law. It would have required some one to de- vote q great deal of attention to the case to work out my freedom. And who would do that except for pay? It would have required many hundreds of dollars to hire such a person, and I hadn't cent. got chance to speak to my double one day and told him my story, asking him to help me I saw by his manner that he had been one of the gang who had committed the rob- bery for which I was convicted He asked me what there would be in it for him, and I saw at once that, though tine means of my liberation were at hand, they would not be of any use to me-

 And now. after years in prison, q broken down man. must begin anew my search for work.

 Of Birmingham Baseball Association

R. s. Douglas. manager of the Jefferson theater, at meeting of the directors of the Birmingham Baseball association, held last night. was elected secretary and treasurer.
 R. H. Baugh and Carlton Molesworth were reelected president and manager respectively. All of the members of the board of directors were present.
 When it became known in baseball cir cles yesterday morning that Mr. Douglas would be elected secretary and treasurer there was considerable interest displayed among the fans. MT. Douglas has shown an interest in sporting matters for a long time, and it Is believed generally that he will fulfill the duties of his new position aeceptably.
 In referring to the meeting of directors directors in electing MT. Douglas secre- tary-treasurer relieved me of many of the duties of detail that 1 have borne for sev- eral succeeding seasons Mir. Douglas will have charge of the gates, all money mat ters, and all business transactions. lie will have nothing at all to do with the players. He will have nothing at all to do with Manager Molesworth. Fhe two de- partments will be as separate and distinct as they possibly can be.
 MT. Douglas will travel with the team, will attend to the advertising, and will at tempt the roles so successfully played by Tom Mccullough, late of Memphis, and veteran Bill Stickney of Montgomery"
 MT. Douglas will asume his duties, it is understood at once It Is understood that he will arrange to have his office at the Jefferson theater, and that hereafter thJs place and not the Birmingham Arms company. will be baseball headquarters, All mail addressed to the players will be- delivered to the Jefferson theater instead of the Birmingham Arms company.
 The election of a new secretary-treas- urer was made necessary in view of the recent death of R. M. Brown.

Revision By the
 Senate May Be Upward
Heavy onsaughs Are Made Upon the Senate Finance Com mittee By Persons Interested In Manufacturing Who Do Not Want Certain Rates in the Present
 Tariff Law Lowered

Washington, April 7.-Onslaughts upon the Senate committee on finance by prom inent members of Congress have become so vigorous since it became known that the work of inserting rates in the bill soon to be reported has actually begun. that there is danger of revision being decidedly of an upward trend, it is said, unless deaf ears are turned to impor- tunate interests.
 The only persons now seen by the com mittee are senators and delegations in- trodueed by senators in the forenoon. Many other delegations wait about the corridors all day, seeking the ears of individual committeeman during the re- cesses.
 In spite of these conditions good prog ress is being made and Senator Aldrich, the chairman, said today he could pre- dict that, when the bill is reported it will be seen that the revision has been down. ward, especially upon the necessaries of life.
 It is probable the Senate will be in ses- sion on Saturday in order to receive the Payne bill from the House. A session of the finance committee then will be held in order to make up the amendments that have been decided upon and send the bill to the printer. The democratic members of the committee will be called in and an effort made to obtain an agree ment with them that will permit the re- porting of the bill by Tuesday.
 There are many schedules that will lead to much debate in the Senate.
 Many demands upon the finance com

mittee for changes in the Payne rates or for revision of certain paragraphs of the Di1gley law were made today
 Senators Dick and Burton introduced a delegation of coal producers from east ern Ohio, who ship their products to on- tario and other Canadian provinces, who desire to retain the reciprocity clause in the Payne bill
 A number of firms manufacturing gaa in New England states oppose the pro- vision which includes slack coal in the same paragraph with bitumlnous coal making both dutiable at 67 cents.
 The pottery and fine china schedules pere considered today. Representatives of the National Association of Wholesale Dealers fin Pottery contended that the actual protection to American pottery manufacturers is much greater than rep resented by the specific rates of 58 and 60 per cent because the packages in which the goods are imported are dutiable and 1t is claimed that the actual protec- tion amounts to 80 per cent on decorative and 90 per cent on white china. They ask reduction to 40 per cent ad valorem on white and 45 per cent on decorative china. The delegation hau talked to the President about speeches delivered by him in the recent campaign, in which the President declared that the pottery indus try needed greater protection. The dele- gation gained the impression from MT. Taft that he was speaking generally of the pottery industry and had no special reference to the manufacturers of fine china.
 Gordon Dobson of Maine asked the committee to again take up the subject of carded woolens and provide for such notifications of the duties as would give protection on heavy shrinkage woolens.
