FORMER HEAD OF
 TENNESSEE GO. HERE
DON H. BACON OF NEW YORK HERE TO INSPECT THE PROPERTIES OF THE SOUTHERN IRON AND STEEL COMPANY

For the purpose of inspecting the prop critics of the Southern Iron and Steel company, it is understood, Don H. Ba- con, former president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, arrived in Birmingham yesterday.
 He is considered one of the best indus trial experts in the trade, and his en- gagement to inspect the properties of the local company has been received with un- usual interest.
 MT Bacon last night was the dinner guest of some local friends, and did not return to his apartments at the Hillman until late. He was not prepared to make any statement last night in regard to his visit here at this time.
 It has been the custom of MT Bacon to visit this district from time to time, as ings here. However the best authority has it that his trip at this time is to prepare a special report on southern iron and steel conditions for some persons who are about to decide whether to make in vestments here or not.
 MT Bacon, 1t is gathered, will hold an informal conference with Vice President James Bowron of the Southern Iron and Steel company today, after which he will probably enter actively into his task of looking over the properties. MT. Bacon is widely known through his former connection with the Tennessee company. He succeeded Nat Baxter, Jr., as president of the Tennessee company and was himself succeeded by George Gordon rawford, the present incumbent. He resides in New York city.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
 FOR ASSOCIATION

Chicago, January 12.-Thomas M. Chiv- ington was reelected president of the American Baseball association at the meeting held here today. He also will serve as secretary and treasurer of the organization, while William R. Armour, owner of the Toledo Baseball club, will act as vice president. The elections of both were unanimous. They were elected for one year.
 After election President Chivington named committee to draft 16S-game schedule for the 1911 season, which will open April F with the western clubs ap- bearing on the eastern fields. It was de- cided to book no doubt-headers in the schedule although postponed games will be doubled up later In the season. The playing season, President Chivington an- nounced, probably would run week or so longer than the 1910 season.
 The club owners decided to have each club make four swings around their cir cult instead of three, thus breaking up the schedule to three-game series and giving each club more games at home The plan of arranging a four-jump schedule is an innovation in baseball, es- pecially in the big leagues, as 1t has been the custom since the inception of the American association for each club to make but three trips of the circuit dur ing the season.
 The plan of invading Chicago with a club was not discussed, although 1t had been reported that an option had been se- cured on the North Side with the view of launching a team to fight the National and American League clubs in Chicago

FINDING OF RING
 SOLVES MYSTERY

Noblesville, Ind, January 12.-The finding of ring today near the spot where a number of human bones were unearthed few days ago in this city it is believed will clear up the myste- rious disappearance of Eugene c. Woodmansee of Danville, H., in 1867, just a few hours before he was to have been married to Miss Sarah Virt, who lived near here.
 The bones were found under an old house occupied by Bert Cloud, and he says that following a dream that more bones would be found, he began dig- ging and unearthed the ring and an old trunk containing parts of a human skeleton. It Is believed the ring Is the one with which Woodmansee had in- tended to wed Miss Virt.
 Older inhabitants of the city recall that about the time of the civil war a road house with a bad reputation was located near the Cloud house. It Is be- lieve the young man was lured there and murdered. Marriage license records of the county show that a license was is- sued for Eugene c. Woodmansee and Miss Sarah Virt but had never been used. VI

is considered positive that this indorse- ment will be made.
 Then what will Braxton Bragg Co., mer do?
 There is not much doubt, in the opin- ion of the members of the legislature. It is reported mi-offcially, indirectly from the governor, himself, it might be added. that he will approve the bill providing for the construction of the mansion, and probably for the appropriation of ex- penses for the operation of the man. sion.
 But it is considered accurate that he will not approve the bill providing tor the increase in the salary of the gov nor.
 It is understood that the governor will approve any action of the ONeal legisla- ture which is in accordance with the pol icy of the Conner administration, and that he will not approve of any action not in accordance. It is said that it is In ac cordance with the Conner policy that a governors mansion be constructed.

CAPTAIN PEARY
 MAY BE PROMOTED

Washington, January 12.-Capt Robert E. Peary, the arctic explorer, was today formally upheld in his claims for con- gressional recognition at the hands of a subcommittee of the House committee on naval affairs. The subcommittee at an executive session from which the two principal opponents of Captain Peary, Messrs. Roberts and Macon, were absent. adopted favorable report to the full committee on the Bates bill," which ex- tends the thanks of Congress to Peary and retires him with the rank of rear admiral in the engineer corps of the navy.
 Captain Peary now is 5S years of age and if the action Is approved by Con- gress he will be placed immediately on the retired list with about the same pay, $G0OO as he is receiving as a captain on the active list The report probably will arouse a lively discussion when it reaches the House.
