SHIPPERS SEEM SATISFIED
And Railroad Attorneys Displeased b.
the New Line-Up of the Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington. d. c., Dec. 16.-The ac-
ton of President Taft in nsferrin e
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and falling to
reappont Commissioner Bockrill has
pleased the shippers and apparently
has not gratified the attorneys repre-
senting the railroads. Chairman Knapp
in the recent taking of testimony in
the rate advance cases, aroused the
criticism Of the shippers by making a
speech in New York which they con-
strued as favoring the proposed in
creases. Commissioner Cockrill has
always been considered extreme
ly conservative commissioner
The appointment of r. H. Meyer,
now chairman Of the railroad commits
sion of Wisconsin. to succeed Chair
man Knapp has been received with ac-
claim by the progressive republicans.
The naming of c. G. McCord of Ken
lucky. at one time member of the
Kentucky railroad commission. to sue
ceed Commissioner Cockrill, also is
hailed by the shipping interests with
considerable satisfaction. Professor
Meyer was appointed to the Wisconsin
state railroad commission by LaFol-
lette, when he was governor of that
state.
| Insurgents in the Senate are pleased
at the prospect of the new lineup OF
| the commission. They say the new
commission will be progressive.

TEDDY RESUMES TALKING
Speech to New Haven Chamber Of
Ommerce-SiSnificant Absence of
GOvernOr-Eiect Baldwin

New Haven. Conn. Dee. 16.-Col
Theodore Roosevelt. as the guest of
the chamber of commerce at its an
nual banquet last night made his first
public address since the recent cleo
tions. He was cordially greeted by a
gathering representative OF the buSi-
ness and commercial interests and the
professions Of the state
The banquet had more than ordi-
nary significance through the presence
of the chief guest, who so recently
was in controversy with the former
chief Justice of the supreme court of
errors. Judge Simeon Baldwin, who as
the democratic nominee for governor
overturned the political complexion of
the state and as governor-elect had
been invited to attend. Judge Baldwin
was not present and the place assign
ed to him at the guests table bore
mute evidence of his absence.
Col. Roosevelt was greeted with
/ cheers which lasted fully minute
when he rose to speak
1T seems to me that nothing could
; be d better augury for the future of
this country" he said, than that a re-
publican president should appoint an
/ eX-Confederate of the opposite polit-
! ical faith chief justice of the United
States supreme court and receive the
unanimous applause of his cOuntrymen
With the permission of your president
l shall propose two toastS. first tC
| President Taft and second, to tina,
learned jurist. Chief Justice White"
The remainder of Mr.. Roosevelt's
talk was along his usual line The No
vember elections have evidently no,

PLAN FUND TO AID
BAPTIST CHURCHES
LOCAL PASTORS CONFERENCE WILL
ALSO UNDERTAKE TO ORGANIZE
STATE INSTITUTE FOR EDUCA-
TION OF BAPTIST MINISTER'S

The raising of large building and loan
fund for the benefit of needy congrega-
tions in building churches was discussed
at the regular weekly meeting of the Bir-
mingham Baptist Pastors conference,
held yesterday morning at the First Bap-
fist church. The report of the Rev. j. B.
Stodghil, Baptist superintendent of mis-
sions. showed that considerable progress
had been made in the assembling of the
fund, which Is to exceed $4,000
The fund will be mainly for the benefit
of Baptist churches which are in need
of pecuniary aid. 1t is pointed out that
with the fund available it will be unnec-
essary for congregations with modest
means to grant mortgages on their church
property in order to secure indebtedness,
and it is expected that much good may
be accomplished The money is being
raised by the Baptist mission board, and
the Pastors, conference is cooperating.
Another matter brought up at yester-
day mornings meeting was in regard to
the organization of a state institute for
the education of Baptist ministers. The
institute will consist of a series of lee
lures given at various points In the state
by Baptist ministers. a regular course of
study on questions of importance being
followed.
BY special motion prayers were offered
for Miss Myrtle Solly. daughter of the
Rev. J. H. Solly. who is still In critical
condition from fall down the elevator
shaft of the Hiilman hospital, and the

Well Known Aldbdnidns
In Birmingham Yesterday
BY WALTER HARPER.

For % years after the war / made
money on the farm and could do 1t
again., said Reuben F. Kolb, nominee
for state commissioner of agriculture,
yesterday ,1 -
Il operated three big farms in Barbour
county and raised corn, cotton, hogs and
other farm products With the exception
of one year during all that time was on
the farm 1 produced all the meat and
corn that was consumed by the large
force of hands and stock on the planta-
tions
THE lands are as good or better today
than they were at that time. Improved
methods of cultivation make 1t easier to
make profits on the farm and the farmer
today could do just as the big planters
did just after the war.
During my term of office as state COM
missioner of agriculture 1t is my intention
to try to inspire the people of Alabama
with the power and possibilities of agri-
culture The greatest mistake of my life
was In leaving the farm for politics, but
once in politics it is almost impossible to
