His refusal, which the committee took under ad- visement, was on advice of counsel and was based on the ground that the mat ter involved a prying into the private af- fairs of his publishing house.
 Representative Longworth again quer- ieG him about his brother, John w. Dods- worth, the editor of the paper, and the witness said his brother was present at the time six years ago when tall, dark haired man. made an offer of S100, 900 to purchase the editorial influence of the paper in favor of ship subsidy. John W. Dodsworth had testified he was not present; that he did not know about the attempted bribe until afterward.

 The viaduct bill will go through, ," said MT. Beatty last night. "The senate committee will meet this morning, and after hearing from all concerned will re- port the measure favorably. This will expedite the viaduct question in Birming- ham, and the bridge will be built across the tracks near Sloss furnace without the waste of many more weeks The capital Is all agog over the passage of the Parks bill, and from indications the &C., ton of the lawmakers met with a favor able reception in Montgomery"

Walsh, retiring master mechanic of the Western Railway of Alabama will leave in day or two for Brazil, where he becomes assistant general manager of the Brazilian Railway company. MT. Walsh has been connected with the W est germ railway for a number of years, and has had experience in practically every branch of the line. Through his efficiency and untiring energy he has made the engineering division of the Western road one of the models for all lines in the country, and he has gained the confidence and sincere friendship of every employe and official of the line.
 The position to which MT. Walsh is called in Brazil is considered one of the highest, and his duties with the large South American railroad will be along constructive lines. The Brazilian railroad is owned and controlled by European cap italists. of whom the Rothschilds repre- sent the head

Walsh has been presented with handsome diamond pin by about 200 of the employees of the line. all of whom wish him con- tihued success in his new field of labor.

ADJUSTMENTS
s.The Squaw Man.

The "Squaw Man, as presented last night at the Shubert theatre. was a dis tinct disappointment. The company was far below the standard of the play and the small audience present gave evidence of it's d.sapproval, as not single round of applause was given during the entire four tedious acts. There was rot an actor in the cast that measured up to the part. and the whole performance was extremely tiresome.
 Mediocre attractions at high-class prices will hardly prove popular to the theatre going plblic. They deserve better treat ment at the hands of the management.

CHINESE DYING
 FAST AT CHEFOO

Washington, February 9.-The plague is causing an average of 19 deaths a day in Chefoo, China, according to a cable gram received today by the state de- partment from American Consul Fowler at that port There already have been 200 deaths at Chefoo, the. consul said, and the disease is spreading MT. Fowler attributed the increase in the plague at Chefoo to the arrival of Chinese from Manchuria.
 Every incoming mail brings to the state department narrowing tales of dis tress among the unfortunate Chinese TO- day the department made public re- port from Consul Gracey at Nanking enclosing letters from some of the mis- sionaries in the famine districts. The Rev E. c. Lobenstein found almost two thirds of the 300,000 people in the coun- try. of Hwai Juan absolutely destitute and not more than 20 per cent of the pop ulation could provide for themselves un- aided through the winter and spring
 The whole famine district, Lobenstein estimates, that at least 100000 will die of starvation if not aided. One cent a day is the smallest amount that will sup port life for each person so that $1,b00, 600 will be necessary to carry the unfortu- mates along for the five. .emonths they will require help. The poor are trying to sell their children, but they can scarce ly obtain pittanoe for them and as soon as the real cold and wet come Oiis letter was dated December IS lasD the death rate would increase greatly.
 Mir. Caldwell, the acting consul at Dalny, telegraphed there have been s6 cases and 60 deaths from plague at that port up to date The cases are decreas- ing though there is no quarantine.

conflict with the express understanding of the democratic agreement. He also says the expression of less than one-twentieth of the voters of this city favoring the bill is not. sufficient to overpower the lawmakers with the idea that everyone in Birmingham is eager for the commission form of gov ernment. From what is waited from the capital here it is to be expected that the Percy bill will pass, it will not be referred to the voters, and Gov ernor O'Neal will name the commits sioners. It is expected that although a fight may be waged the commission sentiment has brewed until it's influence is greater than can be checked at this moment.
 James Fitts Hawkins, Are you with me-" who is very popular in Mont gomery, returned last night. MT. flaw kins has been to look after some legis- lation in which he. is interested and to extend his already wide acquaint- ance among the state people He said the enactment of the Parks bill is the rift in the clouds which will expand and cast a glow of sanity over the hor- izon of Alabama and will signify to the country at large that a return of more well poised period is about to take place in this state He will be in Montgomery again this week.
 John w. Altman. who has been di- recting a fight against the viaduct bill, returned to the city last night He has not given up the contest which has as its object the saving of many acres of land for city use, but which will be gone if the railroads secure the clos ing of the streets. Mr. Altman had nothing to say last night about the present status of the proposed viaduct measure.
 w E. Urquhart. former member of the legislature returned last night from Montgomery. He is interested in the adoption of commission bill for Birmingham and was mingling freely with the lawmakers yesterday trying td get a line on that measure.

SOME MONTGOMERY GOSSIP
2OO7 Second Avenue
BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

Interest in the departure and return of Birmingham folk from Montgomery was unusually high yesterday. The bat tie. over. the. Parks bill attracted more attention among those participating iI other pending measure. sR-
 After being in the capitol all day John C.. Bradley returned last night He said the people of Montgomery there to see the lawmakers in working trim were deeply interested in the whisky legislation.
 "When the Parks bill was adopted said MT. Bradley. there was a feel ing of unrestrained joy among the be- 1ievers in sane government, while l presume those against the measure and the whisky regulation were cast into gloom. The city was overjoyed with the result. The lawmaking will hence forth go forward with more dispatch unless all signs fail.
 Former Lieut.. Gov. Henry Bramlette Grey and Walter Moore. alderman from the Fourth ward were among those who went to Montgomery yesterday While they would not talk it is be- 1ieved the first signs of an approach ing battle against the. commission bill are to be attached to their departure from Birmingham. The two leading cit izens of Birmingham are known to view with i'll humor any interruption of the present method of operating the citys affairs and if their views are un- changed it may be safely presumed that the, commission bill is about to under go bombardment from two mighty smooth political gunners. Alderman Moore insists that before the recent election it was clearly defined that the bill to be adopted must first be sub mitted to the people for ratification and that to adopt one without giving the people chance to approve it would be a
