TAFT'S EXPENSES
 ARE CRITICISED

Washington, January 4-Had the Pres and Robert Taft, remained in the House gallery a few minutes longer today they would have heard their father roundly criticised by Representative Adair of Indiana for alleged extravaganza in the executive department. MT. Adair said the Presidents salary should not have been increased to s75,OO0 adding that a who could not save from an income of $50,0O0 year a sufficient sum to live in ease the balance of his life, in my judg- ment, does not have sufficient business capacity to direct the affairs of this great nation.''
 Attacking the allowance of $35,000 for vehicles, stables, etc, MT. Adair argued that this was s3o,o00 too much and he also asserted that one-third of the 5000 allowed for care of the White House greenhouses would furnish the President with all the flowers he can possibly use."
 Without depriving the President of any of the comforts or luxuries which prop erly belong to the White House, MT. Adair said the appropriations of the ex- ecutive department, which were $329. 40 last year could be reduced to at least $250, 900.
 Mir Adair said that appropriations for all purposes could be reduced at least $10o, 600, 600 year without impairing any part of the government service.
 ..Extravagance and waste permeate everything through the federal service" he said amid democratic applause, and Congress has been voting away the peo- ples money until we nave reached a. point where the revenues are not suf- fcient to meet our expenditures"
 Opposing the proposition to pension government employees MT. Adair said the departments in Washington were crowd ed with incompetents and if they had failed to lay aside part of their earn ings for a rainy day the failure was due to no fault of the government.
 Characterizing the government detec- tive service as the Humping ground for those who had rendered political service, ' MT Adair said that outside of the benefits derived from the work of the meat and pure food inspectors the s7,126,0oo appro- priated for that service last year had been wasted.

SIX-CLUB CIRCUIT
 IS NOW PROPOSED Anniston Pushing Organization
 of Baseball League WAREHOUSE TOO SMALL Farmers Need More Room in Which To Store cotton-One Hundred
 Bushels of Potatoes Raised
 on One Acre.
WAREHOUSE TOO SMALL

Anniston, January Special. At meeting of the board of directors and officers of the recently organized Anniston Baseball association. held ill the offices of H. D. McCarty last night, It was decided to drop the idea of en- tering the four-state league and de- vote all time and energy to the organ ization of the six-club circuit, as or iginally proposed
 The six-club circuit is to be com posed of Anniston, Gadsden, Talladega, Oxford, Alabama City. Rome and Cedar town, and the feasibility of the plln Is best demonstrated by the snall lumps any of the teams would be compelled to make, a big saving in the most im- portant item of expense being thus made. 1t is reported that each of the towns included in the circuit are good baseball towns and it is believed will give their respective teams sp4endS support.
 A unique plan for the raising of funds to meet the initial expense has been started here and is meeting with good success. The most arden. fans are asked 10 sign an agreement to con- tflpute Sl each month for d certain number of months, and something over 100 signatures are expected.
 Anniston has always given splendid support to even amateur teams, base ball fever being very much in evidence al all seasons of the year. A move has already been made in Talladega, and the dollar-a-month plan adopted for raising funds, and seven players al- ready signed up in Oxford The other towns will no doubt be heard from at all early date.

Fine Potato Crop.

The agitation for diversified farming in Calhoun county was given a good boost yesterday in the shape of sweet pota. toes raised by E. c. Simpson of near Ohatchie, and if the farmers who per- sist in raising one crop year after year need anything better to convince them of their mistake they are uncomfortable MT. Simpson brought to Annston 100 bushels of sweet potatoes raised on one acre of ground on his place, and the crop brought S100 He says the fertiliz- ing and tilling expenses for this one acre were less than for any acre on the farm, and outside of the preparation of the land and planting the slips the labor was small.
 The land was plowed twice and hood once in cultiyating the crop, and there was not an acre planted in cotton on the place that did not involve more expense with less than half the return.
 MT. Simpson Is a strong advocate of county fairs and believes that much knowledge can be gained from them by the farmer. He says that Calhoun coun- ty cannot afford to neglect to begin prep arations at once for a fair to be held next year.
 This practical Illustration of the value of diversified farming serves as a splen- did argument in favor of every farmer in the county attending the farmers meeting to be held here on January 16, at which time they will have the opportuni- ty to benefit by the advice of some of the best agriculturists in the country

New York, January 4.-J. P. Morgan further trust company mergers in New York under consideration, the enor- nous sum of s210,OG0,000 in deposits alone. This is approximately s25, ,00O,- 900 more than the deposits of the Ma : tional City bank of this city, tirs largest financial institution in the United States.
 Reports of additional trust company consultations are given credence in view of yesterdays announcement of the merger by J. P. Morgan & Co., of the Guaranty Trust, Morton Trust and Fifth Avenue Trust companies witt combined deposits of about $15O,OOO. 900. This brought a revival in the financial district of rumors embra cin 2 the Bankers Trust and the Manhattan Trust companies in the same combina- tion. There were definite rumors that the Mercantile Trust company and The Equitable Trust company eventuallv- will be taken into some sort of a powerful alliance.
 Relations between the Morgan inter- ests and the Manhattan Trust company have always been intimate, though the latter is not regarded as a Morgan az bondage.
 Deposits of the Bankers Trust az gregate $46,5G0,000 and those or tE, Manhattan Trust $13, 100000, so thai the two companies if combined with those now known to be In process of absorption by "J P. Morgan and as- sociates' would total in deposits more than $200,0OO,000.

PROTEST AGAINST
 LABOR LEADERS

New York, January 4.-"With Sam uel Gompers and John Mitchell not only participants, but moving spirits in the movement as well as officers in good standing in the civic federation, I cannot reconcile my own mind with what seems to me to be such an ex- tremely inconsistent proposition, nor can I find it in my best conscience to wink at the great danger to the best interests of our common country that lies hidden in the indorsement by your organization of those men and the doc trines they preach ana which, insofar as they can, they execute in the name of the civic federation and for which that organization will some day have to recognize it's responsibility"
 John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, O.. presi- dent of the National Association of Manufacturers, in letter to Seth Low, president of the National Civic Feder-. ation, thus frankly expresses his opin- ion that the manufacturers association should not accept the invitation to par ticipate in the coming civic federation conference at Washington.
 And Mir. Kirby added: While our association would naturally wish to CO., operate in the proposed conference, yet any earnest movement looking to the promotion of uniform state laws should be conducted by men who will obey our laws and respect the decisions oi our courts. Men who openly declare that they will do neither of these things, except at their pleasure, should have no voice in Legislation intended to apply to all citizens"
 But notwithstanding his personal views. MT. Kirby says that he will sub :

A number of the proimnent manufacturers and com- mission men present addressed the meet ing and it was the consensus of opinion after the meeting that never before have southern spinners been so thoroughly in sympathy and so fully in accord in @ movement to better existing conditions. The meeting was the most largely at- tended conference of the mill men ever before held in the south. Nearly 200 spin ners representing nearly million and a half spindles in addition to scores of commission men from Boston. New York and Philadelphia. being present on in- vitation of the manufacturers, composed the conference.

To Enlarge Warehouse.

By the time the gathering of am other cotton crop has been done It is more than probable that the warehouse of the Farmers Union Warehouse com pany will be enlarged and otherwise arranged to meet the demands upon il. At a meeting of the stockho holders of this institution at the court. ouse to- day 1t was shown conclusiyely that the business this season has been entirely too great for the capacity and the en- largement of the warehouse is a nec- essity. A total of 633S bales have been stored there the past few months and that amount exceeds the capacity by about 800 bales. This warehouse is one of the best paying propositions in the county, profit of more than L25a cents on the investment being realized during the last four months.

INQUIRY INTO THE
 COST OF LIVING

Washington, January 4.-Increased cost resolution offered in the House by Repre- sentative Hull of Tennessee. It provides for joint committee of seven members of the House and five of the Senate to in- vestigate conditions and report what rem edies might be expected through legisla- ton.
 The resolution says that during the past l2 months there has been an advance in the prices of commodities from Il to 30 per cent. and during the past 13 years of more than b6 per cent, which is entirely disproportionate to the increase in wages making it difficult for millions of people to procure food, clothes and shelter con sistent with their needs. The resolution charges the Payne tariff bill with being large factor in the rise of prices of ne cessities through permitting trusts to monopolize products and raise prices.
 The investigation committee is author ized to sit anywhere and administer oaths to witnesses.
 In consonance with the resolution intro- duced today by Representative Hull Sec retary Wilson of the department of az ricalture has ordered sweeping inquiry into the cost of living in the United States.
 T realize" said Secretary Wilson, that we have undertaken big contract but we can carry 1t out. We have the men and we have the money. to paraphrase a famous statement. and the work will be done thoroughly.
 The question of food supply is most complicated. In Investigating it with re- gard to any particular locality three facts are to be considered-frst, the price paid yUb ducer; second, the cost of transportation from the place of production, and third the difference between the wholesale and retail prices'

 Manager Douglas announced last night that in response to his telegram sent Manager Brady in New York ask ing for a return engagement, that he had received a wire saying the com pany had open dates on Monday and Tuesday, February 21 and 22.
