He said yesterday the beach afford

CHAFFE WORKS
 HARD FOR FAIRS
Thinks Bill for State Aid to Exhibi- tions Will Be Passed By
 Legislature

Secretary Frank P. Chaffee of the Busi-
 ness Mems league. who spent last week
 in Montgomery lobbying for the bill for an appropriation to be divided among
 state, county and district fairs, returned
 to the city yesterday, and declared that
 the bill now has the best chance of pass age. It has been introduced in both houses, and as soon as the revenue bill IS
 out of the way 1t will be given attention. Mir. Chaffee knows how to talk fair In approaching a legislator he says some
 thing like this:
 Do you know what fair-an agricul- tural fair-can do for a county, for a dis trict, for a state? All the progressive states of the country realize the advan- tage accruing from well-conducted fairs. | ana are doing all they can to encourage their organization.
 "The fair is the show window of the states resources. It is the place where the farmer vies with his neighbor in
 showing the best products of the soil the
 stock farm, and the poultry yard. Such exhibits are the best incentive to im-
 prove agriculture and allied industries.
 "The bill for the encouragement of | county and other fairs in Alabama, intro.
 duoer into the present legislature is one of the best steps taken by this state to
 advance it's agricultural interests, to ad- vertise them to the world at large, and
 exploit our resources, with the view of bringing in desirable settlers from other states.
 "The bill does not propose any outlay for
 fair grounds, buildings, or salaries, but
 merely offers premiums on agricultural and live stock products in amounts pro-
 portionate to that offered by the respec-
 tive fairs.
 'The claim is made, and 1t cannot be
 contradicted that if this bill results, as
 we think it will, in the organization of a
 number of additional county fairs, it's
 benefits will be so great that every leg islator that favors the measure will event.
 ually be proud of his work.
 Tennessee, number of southern states and practically all of the states of the | north and west, appropriate money to en- courage such fairs. Why not Alabama? The bill appropriates money from the fer tiliser tag tax, and proposes to give this | money as reward to the farmer for rais- ing better crops with the very fertilizer
 on which he pays the tax. Just now when the labor question is such a vital one | and when the state is being invaded by the boil weevil it Is right that the farm CT should receive all possible encour- agement to diversity and raise more food crops.
 Alabama, one of, if not the most fer tile state of this country, can raise any
 product grown in the temperature or sub | tropic zone. It is unfortunately less ad- vertised along these lines than any other | state. Fairs are the best advertisement
 state can have.
 Please read the bill carefully. It is a meritorious measure. The farmers | want it. and we hope you will give it your support"

MOODY SAYS CAN |
 NOT MOVE COLLEGE

Mobile, February Special. )-In an interview given out tonight. Dr. H. A. Moody. professor of therapeu- ties of the medical department of the University of Alabama, and one of the oldest practioniers in the city, states explicitly that it will be impossible for tho legislature to remove the medical college from Mobile to Birmingham. for the reason that it was expressly agreed at the time of the transfer of versity of Alabama, that the college should forever remain at Mobile. This action, he says. was ratified by the leg islature and is now law. The prop erty of the medical department is valued at a quarter of a million dol- lars, and, Dr. Moody states, this prop erty was turned over only after the express understanding and agreement had been made He believes there Is absolutely nothing to the agitation and says that the state of Alabama could mot take the action outlined without repudiating its obligation and be- 1 smirching its honor. Even In eY6p' of action looking to the transfer O. | the medical department from thls city to Birmingham the transfer would be of the name only as the property of the college could not be moved, neither could the Mobile Medical college be closed by order of the legislature. If it is attempted, he says, the result will be a legal battle that will be fought to the finish.

STOCKS
 ARE OBJECTED ID

Berlin, February 11.-Count Von kam- itz, conservative, in the reichstag today interpellated the government regarding what measures it proposed to take to prevent the flooding of the German mar ket with foreign securities. When the count recently gave notice that he would make this inquiry he was supposed 10 have in mind the current report that the Berlin Handelgesellschaft contemplated making an attempt to list the stock Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway on the Berlin bourse.
 It has been semi officially announced sidering the advisability of rejecting the application for this listing If made in view of the condition of the German gold mar ket.
 Speaking on the question today, Coun. Von Kamitz quoted figures showing the great increase in the listing of foreign se- curities locally in the past years and de- manded that German capital in the hrst instance subserve German economic in- terests. He continued
 '"rhe movement of capital out of tho cOuLtIy HtCtSSdIlly IdloeS lnt lHltltol Idtt in Germany. The big banks prefer bring ing out foreign issues to exploiting Ger man loans owing to the bigger profits thus secured.
 Ut is astonishing with what careless ness second rate foreign paper is ad- mitted to the German market The secur- ities of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad belong ostensibly to the best class of investments, and pay per cent, but it is asserted without contra diction that this railway recently showed reduced earnings and that it's dividends are kept up only to discredit the large sums placed in Germany. This and other American securities showed fluctuations unknown in Germany.
 Herr Delbrueck, Prussian minister of commerce and industry, said the general prohibition of foreign investments of- fered to German capital would be use less, "but we are in a position" he con tinued, ito place restrictions upon them though foreign investments are often neo- essary for political reasons. The German people produce annually at least $1 00O, GOO, 900 of surplus capital which must be in- vested abroad when not absorbed at home.
 '"The possession of foreign securities has a great importance from the standpoint of preparedness for war, but limitations must be placed in order to prevent .in- jury to home interests.
 'The recent increase in foreign invest ments renders greater caution necessary now"
 Herr Delbrueck has repeatedly inter- ferred to prevent foreign listings, and it is stated the chancellor and the state governments are determined to exercise regulating oversight of the actions of the listing committees.

DISCUSS RIGHTS OF ! CAPITAL AND LABOR Judge Baker Speaks Before Chicago Bar Association USE OF FORCE IS BAD Empl6yes Have Right to Use Per- suasion and Picketing to Get
 Their Rights-Cannot Re-
 sort to Sympathy
USE OF FORCE IS BAD

Chicago, February 11.-Judge Francis E. Baker of the United States circuit court, in an address last night at a banquet given by the Chicago Bar asso- citation in honor of Judge Julian Mack, recently appointed associate justice of the commerce court, discussed the rights of capital and labor. Judge Baker said in part:
 Without the aid of statutes the courts have long since become agreed that workmen have the lawRful right to organize for the purpose of securing Improvement in the terms and condi- tions of labor and to quit work. and to threaten to quit work as a means of compelling or attempting to compel em- ployers to accede to their demands.
 Frhe capitalist asserts his right to an unobstructed acces to the labor mar ket so as to get his work done and thus free himself from the demands of his opponents. The workmen assert their right to an unobstructed access to the labor market, 50 as to keep oth- CTS ,out of their places.
 The sympathetic strikes, like the spite fence, is not the beneficial use of a co-eeual right, but is the usurpation of the power to punish. This infliction of harm is unjustifiable unless the harm is only the harm that naturally and directly flows from the good faith exercise of the competitive right. That is, the. loss to his business that the em- ployer suffers by reason of the strik- ing employees presented their side of the controversy to the other employees 50 that they may freely and of their own judgment decline to work for the em- ployer, must be suffered by him with out complaint.
 Therefore, persuasion and picketing in order to learn whom the new em- ployes are to present their cause to are lawful and all judgments to the contrary are wrong, I believe. But the use of force or intimidation to keep others away against their will is un- justifiable because it deprives the em- ployer of his co-equal right of access to a free labor market.
 But concerted persuasion by the strikers to coerce members of society who are not directly concerned in the pending controversy, to make raids on the rear, the secondary boycott, Is wrong, not only because such action is not within the immediate field of com petition, but because the direct, the primary attack Is upon society itself. "One set of rules should govern the actions of both contests. If the sym pathetic strike is a foul blow the sym pathetic lockout Is equally foul. If a boycott is held to be an attack in the rear under the circumstances, a black list is an attack in the rear"

FEDERATION OF THE
 WORLD IS TOPIC
 OF HAMILTON HOLT

Hamilton Holt, the well known edi- tor who will address the lyceum audi ence at the High school auditorium to-
 morrow night is one of the most pop ular of this countrys lecturers. He has
 addressed the great universities of this
 and other countries. and no doubt a
 representative audience will hear him speak tomorrow night on "The Fedora tion of the World.' Here are a few opinions by well known men of MT Holt's work:
 Hamilton Holt has been the Ameri-
 can editor who did most during the past
 three years to prepare the public mind for periodical assemblies of the powers at The Hague. This participation in the work that has eliminated so sue cessfully at the second peace confer ence enables him to speak with author | ity on the subject, and his lecture which I have heard, is intensely inter-
 esting from beginning to end. It gives the accomplished facts, and also the
 philosophy and the ultimate aim of the
 nov vement for law as substitute for war, so fully and so clearly, that his hearers become part of the move lment."-Hayne Davis.
 MT. Hamilton Holt. managing editor of the Independent, lectured before the League for Political Education last Sat urday morning in the Hudson theatre to an unusually large audience, number ing upward of 1900. The lecture was listened to with close attention and great interest throughout. MT. Holt treats his subject with clearness and point. He succeeds in leaving defin- ite and deep impression upon the minds of his hearers It is seldom that any public speaker gives message of such educational value and which Is so like lly to have lasting influence as thls lecture of MT. Holt's. Touches or humor and happy phrases here and there are skillfully introduced. The lecturer gives proof of having studied his sub feet profoundly and having thoroughly mastered and digested great mass oi details. MT. Holt's delievery Is admira- ble In every respect I am happy to recommend his cture."-Robert Frs kline Ely, Director of the League for Political Education, New York.
 q do not recall any public lecture before a large audience that has pleased me as much. MT. Holt was able to
 nresent a very scholarly piece of work to a popular audience and hold its in terest and attention from the beginning to the end. do not believe ever saw anything like that accomplished before in this country."-James H. Hamilton head worker of the University Setle- mani New York.

"It is now nine years since took the James treatment. When I went to sthe James Sanatorium at Memphis, Tenn, for treatment Twas full, of dope and without 'hope,' since taking the treat ment, am full of hope and free from dope l was advised not to take any treatment and was told there was no cure for me, and that to take treatment Of any kind would be throwing money away. I therefore went to the James Sanatorium as the court of dast resort. WhenaI pre- scented myself for treatment. my legs and feet were so terribly swollen that, almost any one would have pronounced 1t a case Of 'elephantitis.' During, the treatment I can truthfully say there, was not one gay that I was as uncomfortable as l. was when my system was loaded with % grains of morphia and one pint Of wnis- ky, which was my daily allowance pre- vious to the treatment. Since leaving your sanatorium nine years ago I have been daily engaged in business, and at no time have l ever wanted drink or dope and consequently have not taken either. My health is perfect. now weigh 150 pounds and enjoy every day of my life. I feel owe my life to you and your remedies. l believe that you and your sanatorium are doing more for suf- fering humanity than any other institu- ton of the kind on earth.

good deal of excitement was caused yesterday shortly afternoon when Col T.. L. Higdon. former sheriff of Jeffer- son county, struck an unknown white man in the mouth for an alleged insulting remark about Colonel Higdon.
 But one blow was passed, when Colonel Higdon was prevented from carrying the fight further and the man bolted out the rear door of the courthouse and escaped In few minutes the corridor was packed and all kinds of rumors were current.
 It seems that the man was attempting to get bond approved and was talking to Colonel Higdon himself. He is said to have made the remark that "Higdons administration was the poorest Colonel Higdon immediately struck him in the -n11fh

"MARSE DAVE"

An oldfashioned negro woman limped and with tears streaming down her with cred cheeks told of a theft of the thing nearest her heart. She implored the aid of the detectives and was told to relate her complaint.
 My white folks gin me a little colt bout three year ergo en I raised him. Dat colt sho' was de knowinest creature. His nanny died when he wuz boon en I raised him on clabber.
 Somebody done tuck and stole my colt, and please, Boss. help me to get in hack.' Overcome by her grief the ne- gress again broke into tears. Sincerely touched. Detectives Williams and Mur- Thy and Gates and Jones took a descrip- ton of the horse and went to work on the case.

 The nanny" whose name is Leo Collins. hurried down to the stable to identify her horse. AS she entered the stable the pony threw up his head and -whickered softly. "Auntn Leo exclaimed 'delighted1y, "Dat's him! dat's him." and threw her arms about his neck
 After she had fondled him for a few seconds she thanked the officers profuse- ly. and as they turned to leave swept them low and stately courtesy.
 Aunt Leo lives alone in a little cottage near Thomas and the horse is her sole means of earning living. "Marse Dave is really valuable horse and is worth several hundred dollars.
