TURNER'S BY TRAINLOAD / !
 ARRIVE IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, June 21.-Every train ar irving in this city brings it's consign- ment of turner's and others attracted here, by the thirtieth feast of the North American GymnaStic Union as 1t is of fieially known, or the National Turn erbund which it is in fact, the princi- pal crowd of visitors to that event is expected to be received here tomorrow
 The plans for the fest inaugurated on Saturday have so far succeeded to the point of the most sanguine ex- pectations, nearly every large city in the country being represented by the official turner teams already here, while those that have competing teams pre- sent are nevertheless represented among the thousands of visitors here. Today will be largely given over to the Carthage grounds to athletic events in which the many local schools and turnvereins and some of the visitors will compete.
 The St Joseph, Mo, turner's arrived last night. Among those yet to arrive are the North western turner organiza- ton of Chicago, 150 strong, the Mil waukee turner's, who will be headed by William Broseus and the IndianaJo- lis team. all of whom are expected to arrive early tomorrow.
 Kentucky, up to this time, holds the second largest representation among turner's and visitors at the fest, the turner teams and the large German population of Cincinnstis suburbs, Covington and Newport and Dayton and Bellevue, Ky, turning out a rep resentation which rivaled the crowd from this city.
 The local executive committee of the fest announced last night that 1t had disposed of 12,O0O official badges which is said to exceed the number sold at any previous turn fest py several thou sand.

SENATE INSULTED
SENATOR WARREN so TERMS PROP
 osITION OF FREE HIDES.
Says Time Must Come To End When Oifgarchy Manufacturers Shall Say When ThinGs Shall
 Be Taxed.

Washington, June 21-Continuing his advocacy of tariff on hides when the tariff bill was taken up at the begin ming of today's session of the Senate. Senator Warren. ewyo.). declared the Senate had been injured and insult ed" by the man who. in seeking free hides had declared that the duty on hides had been put in the Dlngley bill, by some midnight" process. He pro- ceeded to present facts intended to show the value of the hide and to prove that duty on that part of the bovine carcass would be of material bensfit to the farmer.
 "'The time must come to an end" de- clared Mr. Warren, when an oligarchy of manufacturers shall say the finished products of the farmer shall be free and the finished product of the, manu- acturers shall be taxed"
 Free raw material, he said, would be the deathknell to protection until there had been a new alignment of the pro- tective forces.
 Senator Dick, (ohio), today made public a letter he had written in re- ply to communications from manufact- urers and others interested in secur- ing a removal of the duty on hidess declaring himself opposed to a removal of that dutyI As a protectionist, the. Senator said, he strove for consistency and believed in protecting all American industries-those of the farm, as wall as those of the factory, the shop and the mine. As to hides, he contended that to call them raw material as an argument for admitting them from duty, was silly. The argument that the packers were the chief beneficiaries on hide duty he combatted by quoting sta- tistics showing that of 13.000,000 grown cattle consumed for the last year, only about 5,544,O00. were slaughtered in all the big packing houses of the West, the remainder being killed in thousands Of places all over the country.
 Senator Dick indicated his belief thae A removal of the duty on hides would invite reprisals by the farmers and cat- tIe raisers, which would be likely to in1ure American shoe and leather man" ufacturers. American machinery up- on which the, supremacy of our trade in leather products largely rely, he said, was being fast introduced aDroao'
 Tt will be an evil day for our Amer foam industries" concluded the Sen3@ tor. ''when cheap labor of foreign countries shall become skilled in the use-or machinery for manufacture. # there shall be free trade in shoe ana leather products. For one, I shall eess no vote that may add in histening thaS -evil."

RAIN PREVENTS BIG SCORE
y-five Men Eneamped at
 Range.

Firing desultori1y, throughout most of
 the day, the majority ot the rifiemen
 of the Alabama National Guard. who
 arrived in the city Sunday and Sun
 day night, started their annual practice yesterday at the local range on the Pickett Springs street car line. The
 men will begin their competition in earnest this morning at gao o'clock, according to order issued last week. 1 Rain. if it continues. will cut down Ixhe scores of the men. as the dark skies Interfere with the proper vision or nhe soldiers. But the hope is that khinsg will clear up today or soon. and after all it win be the most successful practice ever held lRegiment oE Infantry. originally de- tailed to command the shoot, was on hand yesterday and took immediate charge of the men. The sfirst days shoot is not counted. But every shot beginning with this morning will be lentered in the score book to determine who shall be selected for the finals be- ginning after Thursday afternoons practice. Friday morning there will have been selected for the finals to- aaI of forty men. who, together with eight rifiemen selected by the ofncers xor their ability, will shoot in the hn- hls. From this number will be selected Saturday the team of twelve men Wno are to represent the State troops in the hnternatiana1 shoot at Camp Perry, O. It is estimated that about seveny-five unen were on the grounds yesterday. This is only half of the list expected, khere being two men detailed by every company Tn the Alabama National Guard The remainder came last night Or the expected today. It is strictly lprovfded that when a soldier Is not ready with his rife and rounds when his name is called of. he Is scored zero for every such absence. There ds much enthusiasm in spite of the weather The range is almost totally under water in spots and renders things quite uncomfortable for the partici- pants.
 The soldiers are in camp near the range. They are equipped with rifeso beIts.s cartridges and other 'accountre- fnents necessary to warfare proper.

CITIZENS WARNED
MANY DO BUSINESS WITH OUTLAW
 INSURANCE CORPORATIONS.
Insurance Commissioner Julian Seeks to Stop the Illegal Underwrit- ing in the State and Pe0-
 ple Should be on Guard.

Tn answering an inquiry yesterday as to whether the Great Southern Agen- cy Company, said to be organized fin Chattanooga and Memphis. is author ized to do business in Alabama. Hon. Frank N. Julian, Commissioner of h. surance, took occasion to warn again the citizens of this State against hav- ing dealings with any insurance or- ganization without first ascertaining whether 1t has qualified to operate here.
 It is an offense against the State of Alabama for an agent of a company or corporation selling insurance, to do business in Alabama without license. Both the company and the agent must be authorized to do business. It is violative of the same Code section to adjust a loss Or to make maps Of in- surable property for an unauthorized company and punishable by fine or Imprisonment or both.
 Yet with the attention of the public repeatedly called to this law and to the possible frauds in the wake of its violations, there are people almost daily who patronize the outlaw corporations This is the information given by the Department of Insurance and while the Department officials, cooperating with the solicitors in all circuits, essay to stop the illegal underwriting, it goes on just the same, and it is up to the people themselves to be on their con- stant guard
 Commissioner Julian said also that there are certain irresponsible con cerns that have agents seeking busi- ness in Alabama who, in calling the names of their employers, use only fraction thereof or some slight distor tion which seems only an lnadvert- ence yet Is misleading the buyer or insurer, making him believe he is do- ing business with sound company. These frauds, too, are the subject of warning by the Insurance Department
 It is the hope of the Department of- fieials to make these violators easier to reach with the executive arms of the law than they are under the pres- ent statutes. Proposed legislation will probably be asked for at the extra ses- sion.

NOW READY
 FOR TRIALS Wright Brothers Arrive - in Washington. COURSE NOW DANGEROUS The Official Trials Must Be Com
 pleted by Monday. orviIIe wright VIII Renew His Fhsht. at the Place Where He suf-
 fered InJury--Conadent
 of Success.

Washington, June 21.-Promptly to- day the Wright brothers who arrived from Dayton yesterday went to Fort Meyer and proceeded to complete the assembling of the flying machine, or- vile Wright will resume the trial brought to an end by an accident last September.
 The two aviators, fresh from the honors accorded them by their home city. took on their coats and assisted by their chief mechanic, Chas. E. Taylor, lost no time in getting to work. It is possible that the areo- plane will be ready for the first pre- iiminary flight tomorrow.
 The WriBhts must complete their of-. ficial trials by Monday and 1t is evil dent from the fact that they have not applied for an extension of time that it is their belief they can make the speed and endurance trial by that time.
 Since the night last year the Fort Meyer drill grounds have been entire- ly enclosed by trolley tracks. This makes it dangerous for a machine fly ing low. The speed trial of the aero plane, which must be made in flight over a course five miles from the fort and return, will be the first cross coun- try run ever made by heavier than air machine over r0ugh- and hiliy coun- try. The endurance trial will require the Wrights to remain aloft for two hours. the machine carrying two men and sufficient fuel for trip of 200 miles.
 Today the wrights informed General Allen, the Chief Signal Officer of the course which they will take in the speed trial. Orville Wright has al- ready expressed his belief that the course running from Fort Meyer in a southerly direction 70 Alexandria. Va, Is the least dangerous He objects, however, to the method proposed by the signal officers, for determining the speed of the machine. It is Mir. Wright's contention that the machine, flying over a rough country where the ground varies from a distance of 1,4O0. to 1900 feet below the machine is dif- Acult to keep the same level. He says that the time lost through inadvert-- ently following the level of the earth is very great. This morning Orville Wright expressed the belief that the new machine will make an average speed of forty miles an hour.

FIGHTS ORDINANCE ON
 PAYING HACK FARE

In the appeal of the case Of E. G. Clements from the Police Court to the City Court. there is started a fight on the validity of the city ordinance pro- viding fine or Imprisonment for failure to pay hack fare.
 MT. Clements was arrested at the in- stance of negro hackman, Mack Rob inson, and fined S2 and costs by Re- corded Raber, for failure to pay his fare.
 That the ordinance entails class leg tsiatfon, tnasmuch as delinquency in no other debt constitutes a like mis- demeanor, will be the contention of the attorney for Mir. Clements.
