ALABAMA TO BE DIVIDED
FOR PATRONAGE PURPOSE
Settlement of Row Which Threatened to Involve
Postmaster General and Secretary HiIles.

Ever, since Charles D. Hilles becam.
Secretary to President Taft, Washington
political observers have realized the DOS
sibility Of rivalry between him and POST.
master General Hitchcock in handling
the political affairs of the administra-
ton. This situation was reflected In re-
ports circulated yesterday that Hilles
and Mr.. Hitchcock were at odds over the
distribution Of Federal patronage in Ala
bama- The warring Republican factions
from that State themselves appeared in
Washington and willingly pushed along
the idea Of the rivalry.
Both of the supposed principals to the
controversy, however. denied that they
were concerned In Il, and Postmaster
General Hitchcock reiterated his state
ment that he is not attempting to mix
politics and his administration of the
Post-ofice Department.
The Alabama politicians came to Wash
ington yesterday at the bidding of Presi-
dent Taft, who has become weary Of Their
chickering's. This is the outline Of the
rumpus: J. o. Thompson, collector Of IN
ternal revenue in Alabama, had been rec
osnized for eight years as referee Of the
Federal patronage in that State
This was largely during the Roose-
welt administration. When President
Taft assumed once, however. an
other consul was chosen to rule with
Thompson. The second Caesar was Nal

worked well for a time. but about eight
months ego Thompson's power began to

SENATOR DEFENDS
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Bill for National Bureau of
Health Is Denounced.

Senator John D. Works, Of California,
made speech in the United States Sen
ate yesterday, in which he defended
Christian Science, and told his colleagues
how he and members Of his family had
been healed OF their inflrmities, and how.
otter physicians had failed to cure him.
he had recourse TO Christian Science and
was healed
The Senator told how his wife, after
five years of suffering, was healed in
three treatments by Christian Science
and that finally his son had been cured
Of the drink habit, and for seven years
had been an abstainer from alcoholic
beverages.
The Senator'S frank avowal Of his
faith IN the efficacy Of Christian Science
treatment ana his recital of his family
experiences surprised and interested his
colleagues. The Senator from California
was speaking in opposition to bin in
troduced by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma
creating department Of public health.
The galleries showed a fair representa-
ton of Christian Science followers. who
came with full knowledge In advance as
to the character Of the speech. They
showed their appreciation Of the Senator s
treatment Of Christian Silence by smiles
and mods of approval
Senator Works was heartily congratu-
lated by his colleague, Senator Clapp, of
Minnesota, at the conclusion. The Sena-
tor from Minnesota is regular attendant
at the Christian Science Church in Wash
ington, and has been a believer in the
Christian Sciencs faith for many years,
his confidence in II being based on his
own experiences in being cured of an ag-
grayated case of rheumatism that had de-
fed medical skill.
The Senator from California declared
that the bill to create a department of
public health was designed to create a
doctors trust His opposition to the
measure is shared by all Of the Christian
Scientists Of the country, who have been
petitioning Congress in opposition to the
Owen bill.
Senator Owen interrupted Senator
Works to express his faith in Christian
Science as a means of healing the sick.
He frankly avowed his belief that in a
number Of instances It had worked mi
raculous cures, after other agencies had
failed, but he insisted that the bill for
a public health department would not
encroach upon Christian Science. and
suggested that Senator Works should
give such a department an opportunity
to conduct an investigation into the eff
cacy of Christian Science healing.
The Senator from California replied
that he would be glad to have a COM
mittee of doctors pass upon the efficacy
OF Christian Science If they would ap-
proach the subject in an unbiased way,
but he expressed doubt OF the ability Of
the average doctor so to do

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
LOOKS OYER PAVING WORK

The members of the Hancock board
of public works get together and held
an outdoor session on Quincy street
yesterday, for the purpose of looking
into various matters which have arisen
in relation to the repairs now under
way The question of laying service
pipes and devising means for making
the proposed water connections while
the paving is torn up were discussed,
and the condition of curbing, cutters,
and the concrete foundation underly
ing the old asphalt were examined.
The question of the city paying n share
of the cost of relaying the Devil
strip" or section lying between the
two separate tracks of the street rail-
way is still unsettled and il is thought
probable that a way may be found to
have the Barber people, who laid the
paving originally, stand part of the
expense Of this and also of the re-
pairs which will ultimately have to be
made where the sub-surface conduits
were laid two years ago, IL being
claimed that the work has been found
defective and the guarantee of the as
phalt people being effective for at least
year yet.
Engineer w. w. Stockly was yester-
day appointed by Mayor Dodge to have
the supervision of the repair work on
Quincy street for the city, and has al
so been engaged to prepare plans for
sewer work to be done in East Han
cock
The old wooden walk across the dis
mantled Front street bridge is being
moved to the new sidewalk line across
The filled portion of the ravine.

The second presentation of the dra-
ma "O'Brien the Contractor" to be
given on May 26 under the auspices of
the Twin City Clerks Union, will be
one Of the best amateur dramatic Of
lerings ever given here. The first rem
ultion of the drama on st. Patrick's

smoothness and the cleverness of the
participants, but II is expected that as
result of the experience gained on

uuction will excel it in many ways.
Inc merit of the entertainment and
'ne skill of the local amateur perform
ers constituting the company present

ther Atheld, who left for that place

ing of the bishops advisory board

in charge of Rev. FIR. Faust. wso is de-
voting considerable time to the devel-
opment of agriculture as an adjunct
to the work of the orphanage, and
has met with such a degree of success
that it Is not improbable that i'm time
the institution may be made self-sus-
tanning.
