MUST HAVE AGENCY
 ID DO BUSINESS
Attorney General Declares Foreign Brewery Must
 Pay License to Sell

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special)-T'e attorney general in answer to question asked by the Mobile excise commission as to whether or not under a license raX issued to an agent of brewing company, such agent could in connection with the agency of this brewery sell an imported beer, has ruled that foreign brewery doing business within this state must have an established agency and must pay the agency license of s1500
 In short, the ruling of Assistant Attor- rev General T. Howard Seay is to the ef- feet that, under section 15 of the Smith bill, any brewery desiring to sell it's prod ucts within the state must have an estab lished agency and must pay the tax of sl5oO
 According to the attorney general un- less the imported beer mentioned is che product of the same brewery for which an agency license has been issued, no agent of such brewery would be author
 zed to- sell an imported beer under the license issued to a foreign brewer. Any other construction of the section in ques- tion would be. in the opinion of the attor- ney general. the same as saying that any number of brewers could, by paying one license in the state. sell their beer through one agent.
 T do not believe" says Mir. Seay. that such was intended by the legislature. or that such construction could be placed upon the language contained in this cec- tion.''

BR|STOW UPHOLDS MINORITY REPORT Believes the Evidence Shows
 Corruption THE STEPHENSON CASE Senator Insists Corruption in Primary Election Is Just as Culpable as
 Corruption in Election
 by Legislature
THE STEPHENSON CASE

Washington, March 1.-Insisting that any act of corruption that contributes to nomination in a senatorial primary is just as culpable as if it occurs in election by legislature, Senator Bristow of Kansas today urged the Senate to reject the majority report of the com mittee on privileges and elections exon erating Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wis oonsin of the charge that corrupt prac- tices were employed in securing his election
 . '1 believe" said Senator Rristow "the evidence shows that corrupt methods and practices were used; that Mir. Stephen son and his managers not only corruptly used money to secure his election, but also fagrantly violated the laws of the state of Wisconsin against corrupt prac- tices in elections, and that by mere tech nicalties they seek to avoid the respon- sibility for their conduct.
 "The majority of the candidates for the Wisconsin legislature publicly de- clared that they would vote in the leg islature for the man for United States senator who secured the party nomina-
 
 necessary for MT. Stephenson to have that nomination in order to secure the election, and that the corruptor unlaw- fully expended money in securing votes in the primary. This was just as hein ous as would have been an expenditure to get votes in the legislative eelction.
 "If such campaigns IS that which resulted in the election of MT. Stephen son. are to meet the approval of this body then it will lose the respect of the American people. The Senate can not have the confidence Of the people if men immensly rich with little qualifica- ton for the great office of senator of the United States. but who desires the position like a child wants toy, are to be permitted to employ political high waymen as managers and organizers, such as the agents of Stephenson were, and then turn over to them vast sums of money to be used in purchasing the support of men wherever they can be found who will yield to such induce ment
 "1f this government is to live cor ruption in high places must be made as atrocious as treason, for it is In the end more dangerous to the nations welfare"

MANY RAILROADS OFFERSERV|CES
Possible That Special Under wood Convention Trains
 Will Go by Cincinnati

It k stated that there exists a pos siiblty of the Underwood trains leav- ing Alabama for the democratic na- tional convention in Baltimore next June being routed via Cincinnati, the home of President Tart This will hap Den if the travelling passenger agents of lines operating out of this cI,y through Cincinnati succeed in convinc- ing Chairman Solon Jacobs of the trans portation committee of the Underwood Marching club that this Is the most desirable way of reaching the conven- ton city.
 The Louisville and Nashville road as well as the Alabama Great Southern. Seaboard Air Line and other lines are offering the Cincinnati route as the most attractive as it leads through the territory regarded as the rightful pos session of President Taft and accord ing to the representatives of those re- spective lines who presented the prop osition to MT. Jacobs. would give the Alabama candidate splendid adver- tisement. Since the announcement of the plans of the Underwood club to have the Alabama aggregation con veyed in special trains 10 Baltimore railroad passenger agents from points as far north as Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Louisville have been actively en- gagged in explaining the advantages of their respective roads.
 The prospects for fully three spe- cia trains of dozen or more Pull mans. are very favorable as the boys Iare putting up theii money right along" said MT. Jacobs yesterday. "The routing of the trains will not be den- nitoly decided upon however, until the approximate number of those going has been ascertained
 Every railroad entering Birmingham or contingent cities connected with the local tracks is endeavoring to have the distinction of hauling the Underw ood boomers and 1t will be no easy matter to determine the most desirable route Tor the party as each is very alluring and Is 10 be conducted under the direct supervision of the higher officials of
 the road. The genera interest in tho trip Is increasing daily and all looks well Tor great event with the Ala
 hama invasion of tho Baltimore fort of electoral votes"

W|CKERSHAM |SAT
 SCENE 0F WRECK Ditching of New York and New Orleans Limited Is
 Being Investigated

Montgomery. March Special )- President Charles A. Wickersham of Atlanta, president and general manager of the West Point route, spent today at Milstead for the purpose of inyes- tigating the wreck of No. 37, known as the New York and New Orleans Limited, which occurred at that place on Wednesday night. in which one person was killed and Il others in jured.
 President Wickersham reached Mill stead in his private car early this morning, when he immediately began an investigation of the cause of the wreck. Superintendent W. M. Cox of the West Point route and Maj +. F.. Stiner of Montgomery, counsel for the road. were with President Wicker sham.
 It is regarded as doubtful whether the cause of the wreck will ever be learned. At the place where the train leaped the rails the railroad is putting in a mile of side track and it was learned that several spikes had been removed from the switch. It is not known whether these spikes were lett out through negligence, or whether they were withdrawn with criminal in tent
 Railroad officials believe that there is much evidence to the effect that the switch was tempered with by mis creants, as two other trains passed the same place a short while before the wreck occurred.
 The wreck of the New York and New Orleans Limited is the first serious ac- cident the road has encountered in IT years.

SHERMAN GOES ON CAMPAIGN
 TOUR WHILE CLARK REMAINS

Word was received at the White House today that Pearl Wight. repub- lican national committeeman for Louis jana. who recently announced that he would support Colonel Roosevelt, has resigned his unofficial position as ref cree in that state. His resignation as referee does not affect his standing as national committeeman.
 White House officials said today that no referee to succeed MT. Wight would be appointed for several days. C. S. Hebert, collector of customs at New or leans, has been asked to come to Wash ington to talk over conditions.
 Roosevelt headquarters will be for mally opened tomorrow.
 "The fight is going to open immedl- ately all along the line. said Sen ator Dixon of Montana, who has as sumed personal management of the na- tional campaign for Colonel Roosevelt s nomination. Senator Dixon returned to Washington tonight from New York, where he was in conference with Col onel Roosevelt.
 Medill Mccormick, director of the Roosevelt campaign, will return from New York to Washington tomorrow.
 New Orleans March 1.-Clarence $. Hebert, collector of customs of this port, was today appointed by President Taft as referee in federal appointments in Louisiana, succeeding Pearl Wight, republican national committeeman, who sent his resignation to the President last Monday with the announcement of his allegiance to former President Roosevelt.
 A call has been issued for meet ing of the republican state central com mittee in this city March 8 at which time the matter of a presidential peri eernce primary will be settled. It ap- pears that the Taft supporters oppose a primary. preferring the convention plan, but the Roosevelt adherents are working hard for it in the belief that it will result in a solid Louisiana dele gation for the colonel in the Chicago convention. The black and tan faction is supporting the President.

Washington, March 1.-While the Taft headquarters was today announc- Ing the approaching speaking tour of Vice President sherman in Oklahoma and the southwest, Speaker Champ Clark's managers were issuing an em- phatic statement that MT. Clark would not accept outside speaking engage ments because he did not believe presiding officer should leave Congress while it was in session. The refusal of the speaker to accept invitations from Boston and elsewhere and make speeches was made the basis for a statement from MT. Clark about "ab- senterism.'
 The vice of Congress is absentees,' said the speaker ''1 am trying my everla sting best to keep a quorum here for the transaction of public business and l cannot. with a straight face and clear conscience, insist upon other members staying here unless 1 set them good example"
 The speakers only public appearances outside of Washington before the ad- iournment of Congress will be before the Maryland legislature al Annapolis on March T. The Maryland capital will be the scene of a presidential free for all' next week.
 The projected campaign trip of Vice President sherman into the southwest is made at the request of various or ganizations there. The dates for his speeches in Oklahoma have not been fixed but he will go before Congress adjourns. He expects to visit Guthrie, the Choctaw and ChiclSasaw sections, McAlester and Muskogee.
 The national Taft headquarters claimed today that many former sup porters of Governor Johnson in Cali fornia had turned toward the Taft camp. Teiegrams received during the day indica ted that members of the state central committee were organizing Taft campaign organizations in the state that promises to be an early bat tie ground for the republican campaign.
