DR.. Cochran who Is from Philadel'

port Of the board Of education which
deplored in unmistakable terms the
lack Of recruits for the MINISTRY. The
report was read by Dr. Edgar T. Hill
Of Chicago, who stirred the assembly
to a high pitch by his word picture OF
the ignorance among immigrants due,
he said. to the fact that no protestant
denomination and surely not the Pres'

numerous occasions the President mao
called attention to the need for revis'

that to place the views Of the presi'

One OF the speeches Of Mr. Tail

NO TEsTmoEY WAS HEARD

For the frst time in the history of Alabama, tsheri6 of one of the coun- ties of the State stands for impcach- ment before the Supreme Court. The charges against sheriff Frank cssaias Of Mobile were heard by the court which assemmbied yesterday. and the answer of the> accused oficer. who Is charged with negligence. inoompe- tency, and wfiful neglect of duty. Ca- zalas was not present. but was repre- sented by attorneys. who entered the request that the testimony be taken by depositions, and that commissioner be appointed by agreement to take the testimony.
 Throughout the morning and after noon the attorneys conferred, after the decision to take the testimony through commissioner was reached. H. q. Inge. for Caxaias. and H. T. Piiians and Attorney General Garber for the State. held the conference. though no disposition as to the final details was mades
 The commissioned. when named. will take the testimony and report to the Supreme Court on May 24.
 The authority for the impeachment of the sheriff is gained from Section 174 of the Constitution of 1901 Be- fore the adoption of the Constftution. impeachment proceedings were entered in the Circuit Court.
 The attempt at impeachment is made at the request of Governor Conner. who acted. in calling for the charges in compliance with the complaints of Mo- bilians. who declared that the lynch ing of the negro. Frank Robertson. in Mobile. after the, murder of Deputy Sherin Philip Patch, was due to neglect on the part of the shsriff.
 Rumors that the assault on the sheriff is the result of factional strife are heard from Mobile. It Is known that petition to Governor Conner calling for the institution of the Impeachment l was signed. by citizens of I an apparent political leaning. and that | counter petitions were subsiquentiy re- | ceived by Mobiiians whose interests, to a large degree lay opposite to those | of the original petitioners. |

 something must be done tc stop those who have shown 30 little regard, during the past four years. for the trust reposed in them by the people of the State. It seems like that all that these trustees have done has been to meet and approve claims for fees made by ex-Governor JenninRs."
 For over an hour Senator Beard spoke, charging that Jennings had ob- tained over 3S0,00o of the peoples money and. that some action should be taken whereby Q suit could be insti- tuted.
 Senator Johnson's resolution was also adopted, requiring State officials to make reports to the Senate of the ex- penditures of 1907 appropriation with the names of employees, duties and sal- aries with the object of cutting down extrava ganoes. Johnson stated he had heard that some offices were the prop ertv of certain families and that em- ployes absented themselves half of the time.
