SUBSIDIARY COAL COMPANY TO

Gadsden. April 5.-(special )-Persistent
rumors have been abroad for the past
few days to the effect that President
Joseph H. Hoadley of the Alabama Con-
solidated Coal and Iron company would
resign as its head or be forced out. A
wire from Mr.. Hoadley this morning
denies this and says that he is arrang-
ing his associates to hasten developments
of the company's holdings. He states
most emphatically that he has no inten-
ton whatever of disposing of any of
his interests in the company, and as he
now holds ma jority of the stock, his
resignation could not, be very easily
forced. His telegram is as follows:
II have no intention of parting with
any of my interests in Alabama. I am
arranging for such associations as will
hasten developments. but any announce
ments now are premature

have been completely broken off. The
telephone people, whose poles are new
and sound offered to allow the street
railway to use them for nominal rental,
but this offer was refused on the ground
that 1t might cut the railway out of
some of its rights under the franchise
granted by the city if it took down its
poles The matter stands, therefore, just
as it stood in the beginning, and some
other action by the council will be neces-
sary before the trouble will be finally adj
justed 1t is probable that the city will
yet put UP poles and rent space on them
to the companies. and make them take
down all the poles that are at present
encumbing the city streets.

 battles One afternoon. early fin the past winter. he and three other gentle men settled down to d quiet game of auction. The stakes were 5-cent points. None of the players had had much experience with the game They were all warm and close friends and the pleasantest spirit of good fellowship prevaled-at the beginning Soon. however. the banker and one of his Op pOnents locked horns and commenced a trightful encounter in bidding to de termine as to which of them should play the hand. The banker finally won it with bid of four diamonds. which was cheerfully doubled by the leader The banker was clearly a little nettled. but refused to redOuble. The hand was then played. and the banker lost the odd trick. a matter that involved a loss of something a little over S4. The rubber was finished on the next deal. and totaled exactly S6 against the now visbly irate banker. He was evidently very much vexed and put out. and he paid out this vast sum to the winners with evident disrelish

 As he was about to leave the card room. his adversary sat him down on a sofa and began to dilate to him up on the need of New York for a large state park on the Hudson.

OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA.

 question seriously. The far eastern situation already has modified our re- lations with Japan and it appears from

 possession. by England of her present naval superiority over us is compatible
 V,th our legitimate national aspira tions and growth We now safely may conclude that international assurances concerning the integrity of China and the open door are. in the case of sev- eral powers, purely perfunctory eX- pressions; indeed. mention of the Portsmouth treaty in this connection causes diplomats in Peking and Tokio to smile and make allusions to anna teur diplomacy" In respect to the railway negotiations a deadlock has been reached with the next move up to the United States.

SCHOOL GARDENS SUMMER
 WORK.
Children Are Enthusiastic Over the Vegetables and Flowers They
 Raise.

The voluntary gardening courses for the several hundred public school chill dren who have elected to devote q portion of their time to the intricacies of horticulture during the spring and summer months is now in full swing. The work is under the direction of Miss Susan Sipe The object of the pupils will be to compete for the prizes Nshich vii be awarded at the beginning of the fall term.
 For several years past gardening has been a regular feature of the summer program of educational work. It began in a small way with the planting of flowers about the public school build ings, where there was sufficient space to make flower beds, and gradually in creased until large plots of school property were converted into trucking establishments or blossoming flower gardens. The natural inclination of the children, in the majority of cases. appears tO he the production of vege- tables.

China is helpless. She has had ample experience of what Russia and Japan vii do to enforce their policies in Asia, and she is very uncertain about how far the United States will go to promote hers. War can be averted; but for this we must put dependence in a cOunter-play of opposing selfish interests rather than in just principles and moral suasiOn. This is an ugly fact. but it should be squarely recOg nized. It often is said that there can be no peace without justice. There can be no secure peace in the far east without justice to China-Thomas F. Willard in the Forum.

MAKING THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
David Lubin and the International In.
 stitute of Agriculture.

David Lubin, one of California s great merchants and philanthropists was brought to America when a child by widowed mother. He sold papers. learned trade in the Ghetto of New York. and at length went to California.
 There in time he established a great merchandising business and also founded the California Fruit Growers association. which made it possible, through cooperation of the fruit rais- CTS and the railroads to place Cali fornia fruits in every market of the country.
 Then Lubin became interested in wheat, says Hampton's. When he had produced crop he went to the San Francisco buyers and got their price.
 If I sell for that lose money" he said Who decides that price for me?"
 The dealers shrugged their shoulders. but they could not answer his question. They knew that was the days price, based or quotations from the Chicago board of trade.
 Lubin went to Chicago and was told that the board of trade received it's quotations from New York He went to New York and learned that it's prices came from Liverpool. He went to Liverpool and there found out who makes the worlds wheat market
 He learned that small group of rich Liverpool grain dealers controlled private systems for gathering crop in- formation from the whole world and by so doing they controlled prices They got the information about the worlds crops, kept it to themselves, made theil prices accordingly, and speculated on a sure thing
 Lubin decided that what those men
