Addresse galore were delivered at
the Southern Commercial Congress In
Mobile. Orators from all over the
country were on hand and We'd wi il
each other. One Of the ablest and
most instructive addresses was the
one delivered by Georgian by birth,
Claude N. Bennett, now of Washing

dress. Mr.. Bennett is president of the
Southern Society of Washington, and
manager of the Congressional Infor-
nation bureau. He is thoroughly con-
versant with conditions In ire south.
The following portion Of his ad-
dress is especially worthy of careful
attention of those who are interested
in the progress and upbuilding OF
this section:
The South possesses more natural
monopolies than any other similar six
ed section of the world beginning
with its billion dolla- crop of cotton,
coming down to peanuts in the liue
of agriculture, including turpentine and
rosin, and taking in more side crops
and minerals than there is time to
mention. Likewise the South's pre-
eminence in mileage of navigable riy-
ers and coast lines, in water power, III
forests, in iron and coal, with the :
proximity to limestone and cheap wa
ter transportation, in fruits and the
products of truck farming make it the
most favored region in creation. How
ever, to meet the South's great oppor-
tunities will require the cultivation ~

GLASS DEFENDS METHOD
ON CURRENCY MEASURE
Cites Record of Republicans, Who
Complain of Secrecy Of
Democrats.

Representative Glass; chairman OF the
House banking and currency committee,
In statement given out today, refers in
somewhat caustic terms to the resolu-
ito npassed last Tuesday by republican
members of the House protesting against
party conferences. Representative Glass
characterized the resolution as remark
able.' unique and 'ludicrous," and
pokes considerable fun at the republicans
for Directing, in secret conference, to Sc
cret conferences of the democrats
The conference. declared Representative
Glass. was so partisan that no democrat
had notice Of it. and SO secret that the
newspapers did not publish the name of
even single republican who attended it.
Our minority friends" he said, should
be little ashamed of such clap-trap
Have they so soon forgotten their own
party record on currency legislation as
to imagine that the public can be deceived
by this belated plea for publicity and
non-partisan deliberations"
Representative Glass refers to the fact
that when the Vreeland-Aldrch currency
bill was presented in the House May 10.
1903. 1t came purely as a republican eau
Gus measure, and declares that no demo-
crat had the slightest part in its prepara-
ton or consideration. The measure, h.
says. was railroaded through the House,
being introduced the evening of MAY 13
and passed at 3 o'clock May IA, one day
later.
The Virginia representative quotes in
his statement several bits of dialogue
preceding the passage of the bill. In
which he says the republicans expressly
declared they had no intention Of per-
hitting the then minority to have any
part in the preparation, discussion or
adoption Of the measure. the statement
concluding with the statement that he
be. or could be, injected into a currency
bill, but that 1t is up to the democratic
party to enact currency legislation or to
admit its incompetency to deal with the

The question as to which officer of the
battleship Louisiana will assume re-
sponsibility for the accident to the war
ship in Narragansett bay yesterday, when

discussion and speculation among Navy
Department officials. Capt Templin NJ
Potts, her erstwlhile commander was
placed on the retired list Tuesday. He
was picked for involuntary retirement by
the ''plucking board and orders for his
retirement and detachment from the COM
mand of the Louisiana were telegraphed
to him as soon as the report of the board
was approved by President Wilson. Sew
eral of the officials said Capt. Potts was
relieved of duty as soon as he received
the orders and that in these circum-
stances the Louisiana was in command of
Lieut.. Commander Robert w. McNeeley
az ranking officer.
The damage was repaired through
great exertions of the engine room, and
the vessel. which had been lowed near
to the beach, was able to steam back to
her station.
