MORE DISCUSSION IF.
 COMMERCE COURT.
Possible That President Taft Will Veto Appropria-
 ton Bill

Washington, August 3.-The possibility that President Taft will veto the legisla- tive-executive-judicia appropriation bill t 1t abolishes the commerce court and modifies the federal civil service, was suggested to the Senate indirectly today by Chairman Warren of the Senate ap- populations committed.
 Senator Warren urged immediate action on the conference report on the bill so 1t might go tp the President
 Tn view of the rumors that have been current for several days" he said, 'as to what might happen to the bill in cer- tain quarters, l think We ought to get through with 1t without further delay"
 The Senate declined to dispose of the report before Monday Senator Bailey made new plea for the commerce court but added that if 1t were abolished the five judges ought not to be retained on the rolls as circuit judges as the ap- propriation bill would authorize
 Senator Cummins in an attack on the civil service provisions of the bill de- clared the measure would abolish the civil service"
 This bill would re-estabIish the old spells system in all It's completeness" he said. "The proposition Is to appoint terms of seven years and at the end of that time re-appointment is to be ab- solute1y at the discretion of the head of the department
 It Is the spells system with a change every seven years instead of at the end of an administration"
 Senator Warren, chairman of the Sen ate conferees on the bill declared this would not be the effect; that the civil service commission has proposed the sys- tenn and still would be in control of all appointments It developed in the debate that one member of the civil service com mission favored the changes but the other two did not

WORK OF MADISON
 SUNDAY SCHOOLS
County Convention Just Closed Was the Largest in the Hostory
 of County

At the Twenty third annual conven- tion of the Madison County Sunday School association, held at Gurley, Thursday and Friday, 55 Sunday schools of all denominations were rep resented by delegates, this being the largest representation in the history of the county
 Full reports were received from the county and district officers. showing the largest and most successful years work in the history of the organization. The county president, R. T. Cornell, had driven with his own horse and buggy 1900 miles through the country. attending conventions and visiting Sunday schools. Other officers had likewise done good work. All this was volunteer service without any compen- sation. Twenty-Five district conven- tions had been held during the year, at which all but one of the So Sum day schools in the county were repre- scented. Every school had made sta tistical report and a contribution to the state and county work Only the failure of one Sunday school to attend one district convention prevented the county from reaching the gold star standard of the Alabama Sunday School a association Two hundred and nine per sons subscribed for the Alabama Sun day School Bulletin, the largest num- Der of any county in the state. Twenty five Sunday schools pledged to take one definite forward step' in their work by adding at least one point of the banner school" standard of the Ala bama Sunday School association.
 The contributions for support of state and county Sunday school work were the largest in the history of the association. Dr. W. S. McCown of Hazel Green was elected President, E. w Ba- ker of Huntsville, secretary, and w. D. Pettus of Huntsville, treasurer.
 County department superintendents were elected for the following special lines of work Elementary. secondary, adult, home. teacher training, mis- sions, temperance.
 The convention pledged to reach the gold star before the state convention meets.
 The Alabama Sunday School associa- ton was represented by its general secretary, MT. Leon c. Palmer, of Mont gomery.

Clavton speuks. on Archibald

Representative Clayton made strong and able argument for the immediate trial ts Archibald before the United States Senate today He urged tha; the trial should proceed on August ! or as soon Hereafter as the Senate could procure the attendance of tine witnesses, and he urged the remedy of impeachment itself was On trial
 MT Clayton insisted that the people had q great interest in the case affecting the honor and integrity of d circuit judge of the United States and declared that under such circumstances thr personal committee fer the conyeaiercs Of sena- tors. and the managers on tfe part of the House could not be considered in the con- necticn of the discharge of SC grave a fublic duty.
