that the report has got abroad that on the first ballot Senator Frazer will re- ceive a plurality. which report is denied by the Morrow contingency, Senator Nor row continues a favorite in the fight.
 This is true in spite of the fact that Senator Spragins, who would have voted for MT. Morrow on the second ballot and Mir. Sherrod on the first. and Senator Turner, who would have voted for MT. Morrow throughout, are i'll and will not be able to participate in the caucus. And it is questionable now as to whether or not Senator Rogers of Lowndes, an out and out Morrow man, will be able to at tend the caucus, as 1t is reported that he is i'll. But in spite of the handicaps it is believed that Senator Morrow will win, and the surprise is in the probability that on the first ballot he will be declared the victor. Between this time and the caucus it is expected some developments, follow ing one of the cleverest processes of vote getting ever witnessed, will occur which will indicate the election of MT. Morrow beyond all reasonable doubt.

THINKS INDUSTRIAL
 OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Local Representative of Steel and Wire Company Returns From isit
 to New York

W. P. Gilmore, representative of the American Steel and Wire company in Birmingham. has returned from New York, where he has been for several days He said yesterday that the pre- vailing opinion in industrial circles is that conditions will be vastly improved in the coming few months and extensive development will go ahead
 There is absolutely nothing the matter now" said he, except that the railroads are timid about buying. When they open up the entire situation will be changed and industrial trade will be far better than for some time past. They are open- ing up now. A large order was given the other day for $4,00O,OOO worth of Iocomo- tives by one railroad. The Louisville and Nashville is to build double tracks and every line more or less will go ahead pret- ty soon. The outlook is cheerful"

OFFICERS OF CENTRAL
 CONFER WITH I. c. MEN
Believed That Conference Will Result in Election of the Late Major
 Hanson's Successor

For the purpose of attending a confer ,ence with Illinois Central officers in Chi oago, a party of Central of Georgia of flcials will pass through here today on the Seminole limited bound for Chicago.
 The names of all those in the party were not given out, but it was reported last night that Vice Presidents Lawton and Winburn were among those occupy ing the private car on the Seminole.
 The call to Chicago may account for the failure of the board of directors of the Central to elect a president of that line at the meeting yesterday in Savan- nah. They failed to fill the post vacated by the death of Maj. J. F. Hanson for some reason unexplained.
 It Is generally accepted that the party today will confer with President Mark ham. President Harahan and Judge Low ett of the Illinois Central tomorrow after which an announcement as to Major Han- sons successor will probably be made.

 Cannon's Ruling
 Speaker Cannons ruling on the point of order made by MT. Mann against the Fuller resolution was delivered in his most impressive manner He gesticulated at times with the gavel vigorously clutched in his left hand. Again he would pause, put down the gavel and speak al- most in a whisper. The attention was such however, that his every word could be heard in the far corners of the gal lery.
 To point out the similarity of the ques- ton raised today and the one raised at the time of the insurgent battle last March the speaker had the Norris reso- lution read in full. together with an ex- tract from the journal of the House tell ing some of the details of the fight that followed and the overthrow of the speak CT. He ulso had read extracts from re- marks made fast March by Champ Clark and Representative Underwood.

"I hope for the best" stated he before catching a train for Birmingham. T feel certain from what I can gather that the new law making body will not hastily make or

 result Alabama will reap profit" He

 the lieutenant governor. In the Cum ningham regime, as is remembered, 1t was very awkward in the senate for the lieutenant governor to vacate his seat every time 1t became necessary to appoint a committee. Last session
 when the committees were named by the lieutenant governor business was transacted more expeditiously and more conveniently. But I am in the fight to preserve right which hold belongs to the lieutenant governor and I feel confident that I will carry my point"
 I'd view of the fact that 1t has been de- termined by the ultra-prohibitionists to exert their entire strength towards the domination of the senate, much depends on who shall name the committees. The division in the senate, 1t is claimed by the prohibitionists, is very close, and there- fore a close and bitter fight is expected between those who desire to appoint the committees. The prohibitionists are ad- vancing the rights of MT. Seed, while those opposed to the continuance of the present drastic legislation are preparing to uphold the claim of the man chosen president pro tenn. The fight will con- tinue under cover until the president pro tenn. Is chosen. then 1t is expected to break out in thousand different sec tions and to rage with uncomfortable fury. The announced attitude of MT. Seed forecasts this bitter fight which. 1t was thought at first. would not occur. The Morrow-Fraser Race The race for president pro tenn. between MT. Morrow and MT. Frazer continues to

WIGGLING OF EARS BY BOY

 of Science.

Chicago.-Another prized accom- plishment of childhood has been drowned upon by science. No longer
 will the boy who can wig-wag his ears
 arouse envy in the hearts of his school chums.
 J. Howard Moore, instructor of zoo logy at the Crane Technical high school, who spoke before the Young Peoples Socialist league the other night, placed the ban on the fiip-flap- ping by declaring such an action was violating law of science and mere ly giving strength to tendencies oper- ating against his proper evolution"
 Translated into schoolboy English, MT. Moore's tabooing of one of the time honored amusements of the schoolroon means that such an accom- plishment points to traits in the pos session of the wager which usually belong to the donkey
 Man was once a wild animal and contended unarmed with other ami mals for food and life. And so long as he was on an equal footing in the battle for life he had need of his ears.
