STONE PRODUCTION RECORD.
United States Geological Surveys Fig
ures Show output for 1909 Largest In
History

Stone was the seventh mineral product
in Importance in 1909, the value of the
output being 81 ,S45. 1899, according to an
advance chapter of Mineral Resources
of the United States" by Ernest F..
Burchard of the United States Geological
Survey. This was an increase of $685.
700 over the value of 1908, which was to
be expected because that year was one
of general depression; but it is note
worthy that the value for 1909 was great
err than that for 1907, a year which was
in general a record breaker in mineral
production. The value of the stone out
put for 1907 was 71,1O5,SO5.
In 1900 the value of stone of different
kinds produced in the United States was
only $780, $40 777 in 1909 1t was nearly
double that figure. The general classes
of stone produced in 1909 are shown In

There is likely to be an echo of the
| insurgent complaint over the committee
| assignments in the Senate to-day. The
report on the committee assignments was
not acted on favorably yesterday. be-
cause. Senator Cummins, speaking for
the. insurgents, objected to the consid-
Grafton of the report Of the committee
on committees when il was submitted
by Senator Gallnger, and under the rules
it had 10 go over for day. The Senate
will undoubtedly adopt the report as il
was submitted, but the insurgents have
determined TO go on record in the open
Senate as protesting against the action
OF the committee in leaving Senator La
Toilette off the Committee on Interstate
Commerce and refusing to put Senator
Bristow on the Foreign Relations or
FINANCE committee.
The insurgents will hold another con-
ference this morning and decide on the
form of their protest. They will either
make motion to place the names of
La Toilette and Bristow on the COM
mlttees to which they respectively
aspire. or will put into the record of the
proceedings a statement intended to be
public protest against the way in which
the Committee on Finance and the Com
nllttte on interstate commerce were
made up by the Republican leaders.

PREPARING DATA
 ON COOSA ROUTE Session of Special Commit tee Was Held in Bir-
 mingham Y esterday :.

A session of the special committee recently appointed by the Alabama : Coosa Improvement association was held yesterday afternoon at the Morris hotel. The object of the meeting was to prepare and arrange data .as to what work and expense would have to be incurred on the Coosa and Alabama rivers in order to make them navt- gable from Rome Ga., to the gulf.
 The data which was prepared will be forwarded to Washington where it will be handed in to the army engineers Tor Approval and their inspection. The committee assembled early In the aft ernoon and did not adjourn until 6 o'clock.
 This session was called together by Captain W P. Lay of Gadsden. In his opening address he stated that 1t was known that the board of review had reported unfavorably on the proposed waterway and that it was the office of those present to prepare a report stat ing why the waterway should be built and what would be the benefit of this great proposition to the cities and com munities along the route.
 He stated also that every effort would be expended to secure this great waterway and that every detail and fact would be given to the review board for it's considerations He men toned to the members Of the commit- tees what he thought would be the best points and he urged them to give every detail on the proposed proposition.
 After the speech of the chairman n the members of the convention made their reports and gave their sugges- tions. They pointed out that that waterway was very essential to the progress of their section of the state and told of it's great benefits.
 The committees reported that the cost of the work on the waterway would be approximately s15,000,000. If this amount of money is expended Rome. Ga, and the Gulf of Mexico will be conr ected by water On account of the cost and other considerations the board of review of the United States army reported unfavorably on the pro- ject some time ago. This report caused special meeting of the association in Montgomery and the appointment of this special committee to prepare data on the proposed project. This special committee will go to Washington in d body about October l, and will present their arguments, in person, to the board of review.
 About 15 delegates were present at the meeting yesterday. A number of prominent business men along the diff ferent locations on the proposed route were in attedance./ Among those at tending were: Captain w. P Lay Of Gadsden, chairman, H. s. Kealhofer of Montgomery, A. R. Holenberg of We tumpka, ". T. Brown of Ragland and w. B. Schaefer, also of that city.
 Most of the delegates left last night for home
