KNOX PLEADS FOR
 BETTER RELATIONS San Salvador Needs United
 States-Is Welcomed Heartily

San Salvador, March 1l.--At state din ner given by the foreign minister in honol of Secretary of State Knox, MT. Knox made a plea for closer relations between San Salvador and the United States. The dinner was held at the palace and was the chief function of the Secretarys visit to this country. A flattering greeting was accorded MT. Knox by the many San Salvadorans present and the foreign min ister in his speech spoke In eulogstic terms of the United States and the man who had been sent 10 Central America to represent the American government.
 The events of the day included a re- ception at the American legation.
 All Central America appears to be in tensely interested in Secretary Knox s tour. Everywhere the correspondents with Secretary Knox are asked why he came and how he was received elsewhere. The papers publish items from San Jose, Managua and elsewhere. Some of these make a feature of the arrests in Mica ragua and alleged bitterness of some of the people there. The latter emanate from San Juan Del Sur.
 The government officials of Salvador have been extremely polite. The visit of the American Secretary is the one sub ject of conversation in the streets and cafes. Guatemala is planning to outdo the others and $400,000 in gold has been appropriated for the fete.

STATE SHOULD GET 1. MOREFORC CONNECTS O'Neal COnfers With Oak ley, Bricken and Nesbitt NOTHING GIVEN OUT Conference Has to Do With Contract Which Sloss-Sheffield Company
 Has With State for Employ
 ment of Convict Labor
NOTHING GIVEN OUT

Montgomery. March 11.-(Special.) .)-Gov- ernor O'Neal devoted the whole of this afternoon to a conference with Attorney General Robert c. Brickell, James G. oak ey president of the convict department, and Charles H. Nesbitt, chief mine in- speetor, relative to the contract which the Soss-Sheffeld Steel and Iron company has with the state for the employment or convict labor.
 The governor announced after the con ference that there was nothing of det- mite nature to be given out. declaring that he has not yet determined upon the na- ture of the proposition he will submit to the Soss- Sheffield concern.
 Several weeks ago the governor had conference with officials of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company relative to several changes In the contract which that company has with the state for the employment of convict labor. At that time the governor declared that the state was not receiving enough for it's corvict labor. affirming that the state should receive minimum of 10 cents per ton instead of 421a cents, and that this mini mum of i5 cents should be regulated by sliding scale.
 At that time the mine officials pro- tested against the increase, declaring that they would operate the mine with free labor rather than aecede to the governors s demands. The governor promised that he would look into the matter, and that he would submit them his answer by the 10th of this month.
 The governor said this afternoon that he believed that Sloss-Sheffield people would agree to the increase and that he did not think it would be necessary to take the convicts away from the mine. He is still convinced that the state is entitled to this increase, and intimated that he had little idea of changing his mind regarding the subject.
 When asked whether or not the convlcts would be leased out elsewhere provided the Sloss-S Sheffield people refused v yield to his request, the governor said he pre- ferred not to discuss that phase of the subject at present, but intimated that he thought there would be little trouble on that score.

SENATOR FLETCHER
 ON WITNESS STAND.
Testifies in the Everglades Land Scandal
 Probe

Washington, March 1.-The spec tacle of a United States senator being cross examined by a commission of the House drew a large audience today to the Florida everglades land investi- gation when Senator Fletcher of Florida was testifying.
 = Under a vigorous examination by Rep resentative Moss, Senator Fletcher as- stunned responsibility Tor the report on the everglades which was published as a Senate document. The senator said he had not asked the department of agriculture for material for the re- port but testified that for it's prepara- tion he had employed Thomas Will, who was interested in the sale of Flor ida lands.
 Senator Fletcher said he had used the report by J. O. Wright, once connected with the department os agriculture, but now employed by the state of Florida, in preference to revisron submitted by c. G. Elliott, because it appears to him that Elliott was taking credit for the work Wright did. Senator Fletcher said he had sustained Wrights objections to Elliott's report after Wright had left the department of agriculture and gone to work for the state of Florida.

Chinese View of Millinery

tTe FEKIH -NeWs'
 speaking to a Chinese gentleman the other day an Englishman asked him If the Chinese iadies will emulate the inen and go in for western headee3r In re- ply he beamed a smile most childlike and bland.
 Pressed for something more definite. he remarked: Did you not know that it is a well known fact among the Chinese that the reason so many European hus- bands look harassed and careridden and the further reason why so many of youf yourg men refrain from marriage is this very question of millinery. Ladies' hats cost so much that they spell ruin and SO we Chinese have told our women folk that we absolutely forbid them to follow western fashions in this regard what ever they may do in other directions"

THOMPSON RETAINS
 FEDERAL OFFICE
Taft Managers Point Out That He Has Not Been Removed for
 Advocacy of Roosevelt

Washington. March 11.-(Special)-- The following item of interest to Ala bama readers appears in the batch of campaign literature issued from the Taft campaign headquarters in Wash ington tonight;
 Much has been said of late of the supposed activity of officeholders in the. present political campaign. There fore, it may be interesting to point out that Joseph Thompson, internal reve- nue collector for the district embracing liie states of Mississippi and Alabama is holding office and making a red net fight for Colonel Roosevelt. That of- flee carries more appointments, political strength, influence and opportunities than any other federal office in the two states"

plause and manufactured applause, says he believes in getting on the safe side and cutting out all applause. It was formerly the practice of members to insert applause" enthusiastic ap- plause," loud and prolonged applause" "applause interrupted by cheering" and ''tumultuous laughter and applause whichever they thought such outbursts would have taken place as they de- livered their remarks. This was drowned upon by the House, but another method was secured which served the purpose. A member who was ready to deliver a speech for home consumption brought his applause into the house with him. A colleague seated a few seats away clapped his hands at fre- quent intervals, which the speaker in- corporated as applause"
