By pERRyMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, February 2S-(SpeciaD.- It was the general belief tonight that Judge A. o. Lane cannot be one of the Birmingham commissioners, as 1t Is coli- | eded by practically all who have studied the situation that he will be barred from office under Section 15o of the constitu- ton of Alabama. The question as to Judge Lanes eligi- bility for office has created a consider
 able stir among the Birmingham delega
 tion in this city. all agreeing that Lane,
 although the choice of practically every citizen in Birmingham, will probably not be able to serve on the commission. The governor has not yet signed the
 Birmingham commission government bill. It is stated that he may return the
 measure to the legislature tomorrow for several amendments, though he may de- lay further action for several days. A large Birmingham delegation, com
 posed of from 100 to 160 prominent busi- ness men of that city, are expected in Montgomery on the Il o'clock train to-
 morrow morning in the interest of Harry
 Jones, whom they will ask the governor to name as one of the Birmingham com missioners.

The Day in Congress

Washington. February 2S.-After having been in session since yesterday at noon, but with three hours intermission this morning the Senate at G:e7 o'clock ad- journed until tomorrow at II o'clock Be- fore adjourning. however. two notewor- thy moves were made The first was an agreement that vote be taken to- morrow at 12:s0 o'clock on the Lorimer case. The second by vote of 53 to 2l made the bill to establish a permanent tariff board the unfinished business of the Senate to succeed the Lorimer reso- lutons.
 It was until almost an hour had been expended in sharp controversial discus sion of this method of procedure that the agreements were reached. During the early morning session of the Senate, Sen- aior Bristow, following Senator Craw- ford on that subject. spoke for several hours on the Lori.ner case. Recess was taken shortly after o'clock until Il and alter convening at that hour the Senate defeated 54 to B the resolution looking 10 the popular election of senators.
 A number of speeches then were made. Senator stone spoke on the Lorlmer case. Senator Young and Senator Gronna on reciprocity. Following Mir Gronna' s speech came the agreements on the Lori mer case and thc tariff board bill.
 The House spent the day on the general deficiency bill and extended it's session into the night.

New York. February 2s.-"I shall re- main as my party's candidate for United States senator as long as the party de- sires me to do so. no matter what the personal consequences to me may be. IT, however. the majority Of all the elected democratic senators and assemblymen shall sign call requesting that the dem ocratic caucus be reassamhled and shall decide that another than myself shall be chosen to carry the party standard l will give to such candidate my unqualified and whole hearted support.
 This is William F. sheehan's untima- pressed tonight in a long letter addressed to the democratic members of the legis- lature He devotes his statement in the main to a plea for the principles of ma jorlty rule and defends the regularity of the caucus which nominated him and says that before the caucus he offered to retire if Edward NJ.

BAL[|NGER CASE
 ID BE REVIVED

Washington. February S.-(SpeciaL) )-The the report of its special committee in the Ballinger case will lead to the depart ment of the interior being one of the first investigated by the democratic House.
 Representative Graham of Illinois is slated for chairman of the committee on the department of the interior In re- cent speech on the floor of the House he discussed the evidence taken in this case ana declared that 1t demonstrated Secre- tary Raliinger's unhtness 10 continue a rns naoef oi ,t.Q cabinet.
 Under committee headed by MT. Gra- ham there is no uncertainty as 10 the character of the investigation that would be held. It would be as thorough as pos- sible and distinctly hostile to the secre- tary.
 There have been rumors that. following this inquiry. a move would be made to impeach Secretary Balilnger, If can be stated on the highest democratic author ity that no such step is contemplated.
 "An impeachment proceeding" said a prominent democrat who han given close thought to the question. Ifs practically impossible. The House serves as a sort of grand jury, the Senate as trial court If the House should impeach tf Senate would be almost certain to ac quit The affair would ruin whole ses- sion of Congress. taking up so much time which is needed for affairs more likely to get results
 The case of Secretary Ballinger, hcw- ever. Is not to be dropped by any means. Early in the extra session. if one comes, resolution will be introduced in the House, based on t.e Madison and Gra- ham reports on the Ballinger-Pinchot in- vestigation, summarizing the inquiry and declaring opinion that Mir. Ballinger should not be retained. It will be advisory in character. That 1t will pass is not se- riously doubted.
 "Secretary Balinger Is good asset for democrats right where he is. said House leader. "Of course, the President would refuse to comply with such a rec ommendation and Balllnger would refuse to resign in face Of 1t. So he would re- main in the cabinet heavy liability 10 the party during the presidential cam paign."

 away at any time. Then Canada would find that some other country had usurped control of the British market, he said. The pulp and paper provision in the agreement. MT. Sifton affirmed, was an adroit bonus to the provinces to aban-
 don the regulations they had made to prevent the exportation of pulp wood. Last spring Canada was being menaced by the United States with club. Now there was good feeling.

Cease Gold Coinage

Washington. February 2s.-The hints win stop clerking off gold coins as soon as President Taft signs the bill which Congress has passed permitting the Secretary of the Treasury to is- sue gold certificates against gold bull lion and foreign gold coin.
 Although no more gold will be coined for about three years there will be plenty on hand in the treasury vaults for all who want 1t and in the mean time treasury officials estimate the gov ernment will save about $30O,00O year.
 Some readjustment of the forces of the hints will be necessary but there will be no wholesale reduction of forces. as the demand for silver coins, certificates and pennies Is heavy and shows no sign of abatement.

TRAIN BANDITS
 ROB EXPRESS GAR

St. Louis, February 2s.--Two ma sked and heavily armed robbers held up an express car on an Iron Mountain train within the city limits tonight. es- caping with several packages and the money box, which they removed from the safe after binding and gagging the messenger. M. NJ. McRobbins.
 That the train robbers obtained a large amount of money is believed. though no approximation of the sum has been obtained.
 The bandits boarded the train at Ivory station in the southern part or the city, and leaped of when the train slowed down at Tower Grove station.
 All available patrolmen and detec- tives have been hurried to the Tower Grove district in hopes of surround ing and capturing the pair of desper- adoes.
 Ivory and Tower Grove stations are two stops made by the Iron Mountain trains before arriving in the Union station. The train had just left Ivory station when the messenger. feeling an thrush of cold air in his car, went to the rear of 1t and found the door open. Closing 1t, he turned and found himself gazing into the muzzles of two revolvers held by one of the masked intruders.
 Hands up, and be sure you keep them there" the robber comma nded.
 McRobbins elevated his arms and in a twinkling the second masked man walked behind him.
 Now you can lower your hands and put them behind you" the first man remarked.
 McRob5ins obeyed and an instant later the second robber tied his wrists recurely together. Not content with this, they tied his feet at the ankles stuck a handkerchief into his mouth.
 McRobbins. in the position he was lying. could see their movements
 The pair worked with anna zing swift ness as if familiar with their task, and in a few moments had opened the safe or iron strong box and selected therefrom several packages and the money box
 Other packages they left about the floor. wherever they fell. as they were tossed from the safe. and when the train began to slow down at Tower Grove one Of the pair gathered the par cells selected into his arms while his companion kept McRohbins covered with his revolvers.
 The bandits did not wait until the rain came to a stop at the station, probably being aware that their chance of escape would be lessened by leav- ing the train in the glare of electric lights. Instead they leapcd off several hundred yards west of the station in q maze of tracks and disappeared.
