DOCTOR ASKS UNUSUAL FEE.

LONDIN, September 7.-Meissonier,
the famous painter, was asked recently
for an unusual fee by doctor.
The painter sent hurriedly for the
doctor, who was greatly annoyed on his
arrival to find that his patient was not
Meissonier nor a member of the family
but a pet dog But he swallowed the
slight and bided his time until the ques
ton of fee arose. Then he quietly dep
reeated any suggestion of taking the

Statement Of Conditions
in Convention is
Made.
Induced to Run, Then
" Thrown Down" on
Raw Deal.

Owing to the misunderstanding which
generally prevails regarding the stand
taken by the delegates from the first
precinct, constituting Kaimuki, in the
Republican county convention and the
loyalty with which they supported Emil
\. Berndt as a candidate for supervisor,
the chairman and leaders of the delega-
ton yesterday issued a statement ex.
planning why they could not in honor
sacrifice Mr.. Berndt at the dctation of
the convention majority, although he
was perfectly willing to withdraw his
name at the last as a step toward par
ty harmony.
E. A. Douthitt was the chairman of
the Kaimuki delegation and 7. Church,
with the chairman, formed the official
steer ny committee or the precinct Re
publ can club. According 10 the deie-
CATION, represented by it's officers, the
situation was as follows:
Months ago, when the movement for
q. business men IS ticket was first breach
ed, "A number of business men, the ma
iorlty of whom became later members
of the steering committees of their vari-
Gus precincts. appealed to Mr.. Berndt
to stand as a candidate for the board
of supervisors, asserting that he would
have the support of the business inter
ests of the country and that he was
the kind of citizen timber which the
people desired to have in the board for
n business administration of the funds
of the city and county,

At First Refused to Run.

At first Mr.. Berndt refused to per-
nit his name to be used. He stated
that he was already giving his time to
the work of the harbor commission as
its secretary and his duties as the man
ager of Dimond g. Company were such
that he did not well see how he could
give up more of his time to public SER
vice.
But the committee came to Mr..
Berndt again, when they were praeti-
caily officials representing their pre-
cincts, and made plea that for the
good of the city he permit his name
to 90 before the convention as can
didate for supervisor. He finally con-
sented and was told to get his precinct
solidly behind HIM and the convention
would do the rest.
With his usual energy Mr.. Berndt
started in to cineh his .percinct, and
did so, with the help of his friends,
by a vote, pproximately, of two to
one. Not only this, but the Demoera-
tic precinct club also endorsed him as
supervisor, subject to action by the
convention. by n unanimous vote. This
decidedly disproves the excuse given
bv some of the convention delegates

precinct There is no one stronger as
candidate, say his supporters.
Meanwhile the steering committees
of other precincts held joint meetings,
and without in any way inviting the
representatives of the first precinct to
| attend their caucuses took independent
action, and at the last minute, namely
Tuesday evening before the convention
was held, informed the steering commit
tee of the first precinct that Kaimuki
would have to withdraw Berndt and
failing to so they would refuse to
support Towse or Alfonso for the house.
Naturally the committee wanted to
know why. No satisfactory reason was
given at the time and the committee
absolutely refused, stating they would
stand by Berndt and 90 down to defeat
in the convention if need be.
Liquor Interests Dominate.
Later it was discovered that the
brewery interests in the two Demo,
cratic precincts of Kakaako, and the
garbage bunch, declared that they
would not stand for Berndt. In fact ii
is reported that Charles Bartlett, man
, lager of the brewery, stated that he
,, would not run on the same ticket with
Berndt, and emphasized his demand

Fullest Investigation.

The administration is encouraging the
fullest investigation. President Taft
has nothing to lose by it. Colonel Roose-
welt is about the only man who can be
materially injured by the disclosures.
For the moment he is making something
of virtue of the Penrose disclosures.
Emphasizing his denials of knowledge
that any Standard Oil contributions
were used in his campaign, the Colonel
proclaims the disclosures as evidence of
the iniquity of the Republican party,

CONFERENCE HELD
 BY IRON MAKERS Employ Atlanta Attorney to
 Prepare Case WANT LOWER RATES Explanation Is Made of Tennessee COmpany's Failure to Take Part in the Proceedings Against
 the Railroads

After a prolonged conference yester- day the committee of iron makers, rep resenting all the makers in Alabama and Tennessee, excepting the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, em- ployed William A. Wimbish of Atlanta, widely known commerce attorney, to prepare the petition for reduction on pig iron rates from the Birmingham district The meeting was attended by all the. members of the committee ap- pointed some time ago by the furnace makers They consulted about the case in the offices of Col. J. c. Maben of the Sloss company. Efforts to get MT. Wimbish here for a conference today failed and it was announced that the Atlanta attorney would come over with in a few days and enter into the case for the companies.
 Those who attended the meeting in- cluded: Col. J. C. Maben of the Sloss company, Morrow Chamberlain of the Roane Iron company, Chattanooga; liar ry S Matthews of the Alabama Consol- adated Coal and Iron company; James Bowron of the Southern Iron and Steel company. Secretary R. H. Bannister of the Woodward company, MT. Greene of Matthew Addy of Cincinnati, J. W. Mic Queen, vice president of the Sloss-Shef- field and J. Campbell Maben, Jr., of the Sloss company
 The furnace seeks to make reduction Of S1 on pig iron to points in Ohio and Illinois as well to the Atlantic sea board based principally upon the low price of iron. The employment of Mir Wimbsh of Atlanta, whose practice is said to be confined chiefly to commerce. court questions will cause the case to be arranged as quickly as possible and pre- scented to the commission for adjudica- tion.
 The failure of the Tennessee company to participate in the request is generally understood in local industrial circles. That company Is now engaged in a fight against all railroads which might be affected as to the recognition of the Bir- mingham Southern as a common carrier.

CONCERT PROVES
 MARKED SUCCESS
Brilliant Testimonial Af- fair Given at Jefferson
 Theatre Last Night

The testimonial concert for MT. and Mrs William Gussen at the Jefferson theatre last night was marked success. Several hundred music lovers, including raany men and women prominent in Biz mingham society. occupied seats in the rarduet, and a large number of tickets had been purchased, doubtless, by per- sons who were unable to be present to enjoy tho music. Er1lle Levy. a master musician, arranged the programme and played the piano accompaniments.
 Seldom has Birmingham been treated to such a line combination of professions al and amateur talent as was heard oa this oceasi 1n. The ensemble of the open Ing number-Mrs. Turner, violin; Mrs. bowman. piano, and MT. klenk, cello vas smooth and sympathetic. The duet by Mrs. Chandler and MT. Shaddiek was one of the most artistic offerings of the evening. Concert goers were heard io remark tha. Mrs. Chandler was in par tleularly good form. Her notes were rure and her musioianly style showed flainy the result of recent study.
 Mrs. Block. in her two short piano WorkS, delighted the audience. The Mac Powell polonaise received brilliant in- depreciation and was beautifully played
 Mrs. Houston Davis was happy in the Liszt "Fantasie." Her bravura passages showed clean technique and verve.
 MT. Klenk, as violin soloist, was at lis Lest Hi; sustained spring lowing vas admirable and provoked spontaneous ap- rlause.
 Mir Sh1d lick in his solos was every inch an artist, and Miss Enslen and Miss Minor in their respective numbers ac- qditted themselves with charming grace.
 One of the hits of the concert was the violin and harp duo Handels Largo ly Mir. and Mrs. Chalifoux. Mir Chali- foux drew a steady bow and produced, as he always does, warm, round tone. and Mrs. chalfoux at the harp was dis tinctly masterful
 MT. Gunster, in closing the programme. gave a notable exhibition of correct phrasing ard virile tone quality. He is an artist singer and added greatly to the brilliance of the concert.
 The audience was warm in it's an- plause of each and all of those taking part, but as the bill was long enough without encores, recalls were acknoUl- edged only with bows.
 The four lower boxes were filled, and Mir. and Mrs Gussen occupied inconspie- uous seats on the left aisle and were among tiue irost ardent applauders.

Men of All Religious Beliefs Unite in
 Tribute

New York, January 30.-Men in all walks of life and in varying religious Lelefs were represented tonight among prominent residents who rendered din ner to Cardinal Farley as token of the esteem in which the member of the sa- cred college is held by the non-Catholic regulation. The dinner was the last in series Of tributes to the cardinal since his return from Rome. Tonight's func- ton included in it's programme the read ing of letter from President Taft show ing American appreciation Of the ap- pointmen5 of three more American car dinals and laying tribute to the worth of the recipients of the honor.
 The non-denomnational character of the dinner" said President Taft in his letter addressed to Herman A. Metz, the toastmaster, ''is an indication of the great progress which has taken place in Amerfcan society in the direction of rautual tolerance and of the closer broth- erhood among those who support and maintain different religious faiths and organizations.

 An illuminated set of resolutions cx- pressing the esteem ir which the cardi- nal is held by the committee on arrange ments for the banquet was presented by pr. Edwin Zimmerman, the committees secretary.
 Cardinal Farley, in his reply, thanked the givers Of the dinner for the gen crous compliment"
