TURNER HARTWELL DOCKS CO.
MAKES Reply TO THE RECENT
LETTER OF COL. {. |. RUSSELL

purely selfish standpoint, we are just as
we'll off II the Mobile and Ohio and South
ern can succeed In stopping further dock
Development Our docks are completed
and, as Mobile has never been able In the
past to properly care for her export
trade, what business that comes to Mo-
bile In the future must be divided be-
tween the pesentt docks, and we think
we will get our share. The writer Is an
exporter of lumber, thus able to make
business for the dock. Further, those in
terested in the Docks company are now
operating a steamship service, started
for the express purpose of creating com
petition and making business for the
DOCKS so we feel that we can operate our
dock IL necessary simply as the terminal
fo-, our own business. But what are the
prospects for Mobile, and what is to be-
come of the other river front owners,
those not exporters or In position to oper-
ate steamship lines? WIN they invest
their money (and in investing In docks
they are the greatest benefactors to the
port and to the state) II their investment
is Disseminated against? We think not,
and the entire state, depending upon hef
only seaport, must suffer.
1t is not very difficult to guess where
Mobile will be In the next five or ten
years In this export race, unless quick
remedy can be found for this evil of rail-
road discrimination. Mobile must develop
her river front, she must build ample
docks and warehouses, she must be In po-
sition to give quick dispatch to export
and import trade, as both New Orleans
and Galveston now do, otherwise the
trade will go to these river ports. All
the traffic of our rivers is dependent
upon Mobile and her dock facilities, and
this very traffic has suffered in the past,
as all Alabama is aware. Will the state
permit this condition of AFFAIRS to con-
tinue and is Mobile content to stop her
: dock development and drop out Of the ex-
port race, OF will some action be taken
to protect our docks and place them upon
the same basis as those of other ports?
That your readers may understand the
questions previously asked the Mobile and
Ohio and Southern, which have remained
unanswered for a month, we attach clip
ping from Mobile Register of August II,
which we ask be reprinted.

of the time" Mobilians are no longer to
be fooled. Either come out and say you
will make shipsde delivery at Mobile or
that you will not, and If you will not, tell
the people the real reason why you don't.
There are two other towing companies
at Mobile beside the Mobile Towing and
Wrecking company. They are the Lap
wing Towing and Wrecking company and
the Home Dredging company, both or
which compa MES do a regular towing and

connected with or controlled by the MO-

conditions existing there is hardly a pos
sibility of the Mobile Towing and Wreck
ing company being tBhe "Hartwell tow
boat trust" as Colonel Russell expressed
1t. 1t is true that the interstate COM
merce commission has no power over the
towing interests at the different ports,
but this Is not at all necessary. me
rivers, bays, lakes and oceans of this
great country are free insofar as the
towing interests are concerned. Colonel
Russell can tomorrow start a towing COM
pany at this port If he so desires, and
will be on the same footing as any OF the
other towing companies now operating
here If the Mobile and Ohio and the
Southern succeed in changing their chip
side tariff they are the ones who will
control the shipping interests at this port.

company can only tow such vessels as

the idea that it would promote the in

WHEN COMET PASSES EARTH
Oklahoma VIII Bring Suit on tho.
Ground That Higher Rates Are.
Charged There.

Guthrie, oma.-Attorney Cen
eral West left for Washington TO file
suit in the United States supreme
court against the Santa Fe railroad to
cancel the titles of all land contracts
held by the company in the state.
When Oklahoma granted the rights
to the Santa F'e a clause was inserted
in the contract providing the road
could not charge higher rates on
freight than in any other state or ter
ritory.
1t is asserted now that higher rates
on lumber, salt and cement are being
charged and on this basis the attorney
general contends the contracts should
be cancelled.
The attorney general will also insti-
tute proceedings asking that all rail-
roads and express companies in the
state be permanently enjoined from
accepting interstate shipments or
liquor.

Benefit in outd COR Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Far
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
such institutions for all delicate, So
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones. who are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty to forty per cent. of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. By the use of tu-
culin, it was ascertained that 70 per
cent. of the children from tuberculous
homes were infected as against only 26
per cent of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
so per cent of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease, but that only 10 per cent. Of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER
Pleasant Recreation Provided for Peo-

Fellow ToWnsman.

Tarrytown, N. Y-To take a drive
with John d. Rockefeller has become
a regular recreation this spring for
a great many of the friends and neigh
bors of that famous resident of larry
town, and he has increased thereby
his popularity among the people OF
the little city. Not a pleasant day
goes by without the oil king inviting
some of them, men, women and chill
.dren, to ride with him in automobile
or carriage, and it is safe to say that
the invitations are seldom declined, for
his vehicles are the best to be had,
and the drives around Tarrytown are
beautiful
Mr. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons paper vest, de-
claring it to be a great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found a paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.

CAUCUS ON POSTAL BANK BILL
The Insurgent Republicans Will Insist
Upon Free and Open Discussion
If They Consent.

Washington, D. C.-If the presi-
dents persistent demand for the pas
sage of postal savings bank bill at
this session is to be compiled with
that will only be done by means of
Republican house caucus which the
insurgents will consent to attend and
whose decision they may agree to
abide by. The prospect now is that
such a caucus will be held within the
next two weeks and it will be long
drawn out affair extending perhaps
over three nights.
The insurgents, who are nearly all
strongly in favor of the enactment of
a postal savings bank law, are dis
posed to go into such caucus with
the assurance that no attempt at gag
ging will be made and that the import
ant details of the proposed postal bank
scheme will there be discussed freely
submitted to votes and only incor-
porated in the bill on the approval OF
majority of the Republican house
membership.

THE LONG and SHORT HAUL IN
THE MODIFIED FORM OF DIXON
AMENDMENT PASSED SENATE.
Change in Railroad Bill Supported by
Both Factions of Republicans and
Some Democrats.

Washington, d. C.-By a vote of
81 to 10, the senate adopted modi-
fled form of the Dixon long and short
haul amendment to the railroad bill.
The amendment represents the COM
bined efforts of Republican, Demo
cratic and insurgent leaders, and it is
significant that Senator Nelson w.
Aldrich defended it on the floor and
cast his vote in its favor The con-
census of opinion is that the amend
ment is contradictory in its terms and
defeats its. own purpose, or If this Is
not so, that it burdens the interstate
commerce commission with an i'm
possible task. Senator Aldrich gave
practical assurance he would not seek
the amendments defeat in conference.
Twitted after the vote by Senator
Bacon for having surrendered to the
demand for long and short haul
clause the ERODE Islander declared
impressively:
"He laughs best who laughs last"
In the circumstances, there is war
rant for the assertion that President
Taft will not object to the amendment
as framed.
