STOCKS TOUCHED
 THE HIGHEST LEVEL
Extent of Advance Offered Attractive Profits to
 Professionals

New York March 24-Prices of stocks during the past week touched the highest level during the present year and were not far under the best prices of the recovery of the latter part of last year The extent of the advance thus covered from the pow point of the February depression of fered attractive profit to professional operators and selling pressure both on the long and short side contributed to occasional reactions. The checks en- countered and the rallying power dis played demonstrated, however, that the market was still controlled by forces making for the rise. The professional bear element was quick to retreat.
 Actual happenings in -he field of bus mess and industry moderately con frmed the hopes of improvement on (which the rise was based. Conditions in the metal trades were an important influence in strengthening these hopes. The reported determinasion of the steel manufacturers to secure better prices for their products rather than larger tonnage would tend to remedy, it was thought the unsatisfactory yield of profits on present prices.
 Lower ore quotations 1or the coming season and the recent concessions in freight rates on Lake Superior ores were expected to help in this direc- ton. It was anticipated also that the opening of the spring season would stimulate the demand for steel pro ducts including railway equipment. The strong market for copper metal re- hected a sympathetic influence through an extensive group of securities.
 Agricultural news was interpreted 1 favorably to security values. The rapid marketing of the enormous cotton crop, favorable soil conditions in the grain country and the worthwhile shortage of last years grain yeld were favor able factors mentioned.
 The effective part played by the large export demand l.. taking up the slack here was shown by the Febru- ary foreign trade statement. with both exports and imports at record values for that month and the expansion of exports overlapping that In imports
 The New York market was sensitive to disturbing reports -f fresh tension
 In the Balkans, Further borrowing for Berlin account here drew attention to~ the importance of the coming April settlements in that market. The week saw stock market disturbances in Ber- lin, Vienna and St. Petersburg. which were not without thelr effect in other markets. The factors which made money firmer here came from the out side rather than from domestic sources.

MYSTERY STILL
 CLINICS TO POWERS

Louisville, Ky, March PA dispatch from Washington says:
 Representative Caleb Powers has de- veloped the second mystery of his cons gresslonal career. This concerns the way in which to knock on the door of his office so as to gain admittance The first mys- tery Is where Powers lives, that informa= ton being known only to bis official fam fly and w. Godfrey Hunter For tne benefit of citizens who might have busi- ness with Powers in Washington 1t can be stated that five raps are followed by the opening of his office door. There must be pause between the third ani fourth knocks. If this paucity is not ob- served Powers knows it Is some one who does not enjoy his confidence and while the click of typewrlters and the hum of voices goes on inside his office. portal remains locked.
 In this way Powers eludes visits of con stituents who may not know the com bination and of annoying persons geuef ally with no historical minds.

REPORTED WILSON
 COMING ID ATLANTA Underwood May Be De
 tained at Washington CAMPAIGN INTEREST
Reports Reaching Atlanta From All Over Georgia More Favorable to an Underwood Victory-Ala-
 bamian Will Garry Floyd

Atlanta March 24.-(Special.) )-Georgia has had few campaigns productive of more interest. or enthusiasm than that now in progress involving the vote of this state for a democratic nominee for Pres ident. It differs from the ordinary cam paign in that the candidates are not them selves in the field, and the work in their behalf is being done altogether by friends.
 But there is just about as much interest right now in the Wilson Underwood fight for the Georgia delegation to Baltimore $ is ordinarily found In a campaign involy- ing an election for governor.
 Usual Campaign Methods Pursued
 The usual campaign methods are being pursued. Headquarters of both candi- dates have their press agents, and the publicity campaign is in full swing. Press associations which send out plate matter i, to the county weeklies and the smale: dailies are doing good business with both candida1es Postoffice receipts are also being swelled to a goodly extent, and with campaigns of this sort every year it might become an easy matter to wipe out the postal defict ,sts ,,
 
 the two who are considered the chief con testants for the Georgia delegation, may make speeches in the state before the pri- mary of May 1. It is reported on appar- ently good authority that Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey contemplates a visit to Georgia shortly, and that he will come accompanied by United States Senator Hoke Smith, It is said he is scheduled to deliver an address in Atlanta.
 Mir. Underwood's friends fear that 1t will be impossible for him to leave his duties in Congress in time to make a speech in Georgia before the primary: and if they find he cannot come it is said sonfe well known democratic lead CTS who are among his staunch support CTS will probably come here to speak for him.
 MT. Underwood, it appears, has re- fused to lay himself liable to the same scrt of criticism that has fallen upon Governor Wilson for ,bsenting him self so frequently and at such length from the New Jersey capital. It is stated for this reason he may not be able to make an enga cement to speak iA Atlanta.
 Reports reaching Atlanta from every section Of the state are more and more favorable to an Underwood victory on May l.

HEARD AND SEEN UNDER
 THE GREAT WHITE DOME
RY WALTER HARPER

It is hard to break away until you are broke and have 10 quit.
 Some of the members who have de- elared their determination 10 retire are Ben CraVens of Arkansas Lawrence of Massachusetts. Brantley of Georgia, Lit tleton of New York, Kent of California, Olmsted of Pennsylvania, Martin of Colo rado, Moore of Texas and Pujo of Louisi- ana.
 Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas ha, also declared that he will not stand for reelection to the Senate While he had made previous declarations of the same kind and repented it seems that he is now determined.
 Bailey is one of the smartest men in the Senate and can make many times the money now paid him as senator There are no more honors remaining for him to attain fin this august body~and he now de- sires to retire where he can enjoy the iis- tinction and also accumulate com petence for his declining years.
 Senator Lea was threatened with social ostracism by his colleagues when he dared to oppose the disgraceful and fragrant abuses that have been practiced in pork barrer legislation. Senator Lea will probably find no difficulty in deciding be- tween lonesome ostracism and association with corrupt methods. The people will await his choosing with interest.
 Wind and weather have consplred to bring about an early adjournment of Con- gress. A large fruit crop is assured. The Legislative halls in Washington get mighty dull when the peach trees on the southern hills are hanging almost 10 the ground with luscious fruit that is always free 10 the congressman at home on yaca- ton.
 Politicians enjoy peaches though "plums" are their choice fruit Al this distance there appears but lit- tie Adherence in the conditions in the Vir- | inm'mountains and d Lewisburg except that the outlaws of Virginia cannot be charged with cowardce. The officials of Alabama would do well to rid the state of the Lewisburg disgrace at any cost. J. C. Allison of Birmingham, who ar rived in Washington few days ago on business. declared that Birmingham Is just now enjoying the greatest building activity in it's history.
 q never saw anything like it," said MT. Allison. we are going to have at least two new hotels of creditable proportions and large new business houses are going up all over town.
 First avenue. both cast and west of the business center, Is being built up rap- idly with large wholesale houses that would be credit to any city in inc coun- try. Work on the American Trust build ing is being pushed rapidly. and if has made a most wonderful change in the appearance of this section of the city.
 "A return to Birmingham after only few weeks absence mpresses you with the wonderful rapidty of it's growth"

Washington. March 24-(Special)- A surprising number of prominent and valuable congressman of both parties have announced their intention of re- tiring voluntarily 10 private life at the end of their present terms.
 Some give one reason and some an other. The ma jority reason is that they cannot afford the uncertain lux ury.
 Congressmen got a raise in salary a few years ago of 50 per cent, but the increase did not equal the increase in the cost of high living. Many congress- men make no attempt 10 live on the salaries they receive. They must either have some money salted away or must have some other sourcc of income out side their salaries. Some of them go broke.
 one member from an eastern state was sued in the district courts for debt and his answer was that though he had practiced strict economy he could not meet inc demands of his position with the salary he was receiving as congressman.
 Some of the best men in the House have announced their determination to retire from the game. The inability 10 live up to the social and other re- aulrements with the salary will ex- plain most of the case5 Another req son, of course, Is that d man who Is a good congressman can make more money and live on less in private life.
 Any man who Is won tn anything as congressman can maze more money at something else and is called upon to spend less.
 One man l know in Congress had an annual income of almost slO0,00o. His. wife was ambitious to spend at least one session in the social atmosphere of Wash inston She was insistent. Her husband showed her the financial loss that it would incur but finally yielded to her ambition.
 He ran for Congress and was elected. He gave up his practice, withdrew his connection from one of the largest law firms in the country and came 10 Wash inQton. He gave up his large annual income for that of congressman, s75o0. Tie wife is making good in every hour and every day that she is in Washing ton. She has agreed that her husband may return to hia practice al the end of his present term and he has an nounoed his intention 10 do so That man is now not only sacrificing his in- come but is spending part of his reserve to gratify a whim of his wife. His sal ary here doez not begin to pay the cx- penses of the frolc.
 But he has made good as congress- man. He has been and is valuable member. He is giving full value for his little salary and the social distinction that is being enjoyed to the full by his wife. He will be sorely missed when he returns to private life and a decent living.
 Butsthere are others here who have no. the courage to quit and return to voca- tions that will give them competence. Washington and the congressional atinos- uhere has a fascination that holds one.

 The Berger ayiators are willing to make strenuous attempts to break the records, and Manager J. s. Berger says that they do not want dollar unless they do make new records. To make new ones will be a great advertisement for Birmingham.
