the election of the above officers. Pres
ident Taylor conducted the new presi-
dent to his seat and turned over the
business. of the convention to him
President Hervey thanked the associa-
tion for the honor conferred and prom
ised to devote his energies to further
ing the interests of the association and
to carry out its policies
An interesting feature of the afternoon
session was a talk by Burto Johnson, a
well known travelling man and a member
of the grand council of the travellers
organization. Mr.. Johnson's talk was on
the line of cooperation between hotel
men and the travellers in order to mutual
ly protect each other. He suggested need

Exum Welcomes Delegates

Yesterday morning at $3.50 o clock, Presi-
dent e. c. Taylor called the convention
to order. +. A. Robertson introduced
Culpepper Exum, president of the city
commission, who gave the delegates a
warm welcome to the city. He declared
that If the local committee failed in pro-
viding for their comfort and welfare he
would see that they receive pr. .,er treat
ment. He referred to the new hotel
buildings, stating that he did not believe
the new hosteries would make any ma
terial difference to the hotels now in op-
Grafton as Birmingham was growing to
such an extent that more hotels were
needed, He again bade them welcome,
stating it would be his pleasure to do
ANYTHING in his power to contribute to
their pleasure while they were the guests
of the city
C. B. Hervey of Mobile, made a very
fitting response, thanking Mr. Exum on
behalf of the delegates for the warm
words of welcome Referring to the new
hotels under construction in Birmingham
Mr. Hervey stated that his experience
was that in a growing city like Brming-
ham one of its best assets was good ho-
tells and that instead of decreasing busi-
ness in the smaller hotels the big hotels
helped to Increase ii. He stated he was
so much impressed with the present and
future greatness of Birmingham that he
had been trying to become a citizen in
part, having leased the Roden hotel
The business session was opened with
the address of President Taylor, who re-
viewed the work of the association since
its organization less than a year ago.
He said they had accomplished much in
the few months they had been organized
He said he was more than ever impressed
with the need of laws to protect the ho-
tel. He pointed out the inadequacy of
the present hotel laws in the state of
Alabama He urged cooperation with
the u. c. T., T. p. AS and the Alabama
travellers organizations to bring about
beneficial legislation. A general discus
sion followed Mr.. Taylor's address and
his recommendations were heartily con-

Hawkins Explains Losses

The first witness yesterday morning
was j. e. Hawkins of the Empire Coal
and Iron company. 3 He swore that on
June car of Empire nut coal was
billed to him at $4,000 pounds, and that
1t was reported by the Frisco at 66, 400.
He further testified that on his own
scales a shortage of 2250 pounds was de-
veloped. He took the position that it
would be practical for the railroad to
reweigh car of coal and to notify the
eonsignee to be present at a set time
for weighing.
"The biggest loss he testified IFS due
to inaccuracy of weighing at the point
of beginning, for which the inattention
of the clerks of the Southern Weighing
and Inspection bureau are responsible :"
He testified that coal sold by the car
load is delivered according to the weight
of the bill of lading, and that it was
sold at 20 cents per ton, as rule, cheap
er than coal he weighs on his own scales
the difference in price being due, ac-
cording to his testimony, to the knowl-
edge of shortage in weight, and less ex-
pense in handling.

Myatt Tells Experience

M. A. Myatt of Fowlkes & Myatt tes-
titled that he had noted material diff
ference between weights on cars and
weights on his own scales. He gave an
example in which he had lost ton in a
car shipped from Margaret on June u.
He then gave the figures which are added
to the net cost of each ton before sell
ing to which figures are
printed above.
II do not believe i'm the widespread
criticism which is directed against the re-
tail dealer,' he said. IF we protect our
selves, we must give short weights or
put on big price,"
To obtain a reduction in cost, he sug-
gested that correct weight be furnished
at the mines, prompt delivery be fur
nished by the railroads, and a better sys-
tenn of espionage in order that thefts
be not so numerous. He expressed his
belief that the retailer, the operator ana
the railroads should get together In the
interest of the people
'If j had the right to have cars re-
weighed. l would be willing to pay 81
for each car he swore, which did not
measure less than requirements, and
would not ask that every car be re-
veighed-and thus would prevent conges-

Bruner Makes Report


Secretary II. II. Bruner submitted his
report showing substantial gains in men,
bership since the organization was started
and also that the finances were in good
shape, a balance remaining in the treas
ury. The reports of the several COM
mittees were received and adopted. There
was a general discussion principally on
the methods of cooperation among hotel
men for protection against frauds.
Mr.. Hervey suggested Mobile as the
place of the next semi-annual meeting
of the association which he stated would
just precede the annual meeting of the
Southern Interstate Hotel association CIV
ing the members of the association the
opportunity to attend the meeting at Mo-
bile en- route to the convention at New
Orleans. The matter was referred to
the executive committee with power to
act and while final action was not taken
it is understood Mobile will be the next
place of meeting.

to draft suitable resolutions on the death

BROWNSVILLIAN GOES ALL OVER
PLACE AND VIEWS FORTIF1CA-
TIONS. SAYS WEI LPREPARED
FOR DEFENSE.

A Brownsville citizen, who prefers
that his name be not used. stated to
a reporter of The Herald today. that
he had lust returned from Laredo and
that while there visited Nuevo Laredo
and noticed tile defense notifications
He stated that from what he knew OF
the defense Notifications at MatamOrOs
and what he saw at NuevO Laredo, it
would take a far more determined at
tack to take the latter place.
In addition to Qualifications surround
ing the city every street inside the town
is provided with from two to three
trenches wide and deep and banked
with heavy bags of sand.
Arrangements are made on the top
of buildings to provide for an enfillad-
ing fire on any enemy abe to carry the
trenches in any street. lie did not know
the number Of men in the garrison but
from what he saw estimated that it was
at least twice the number defending
Matamoros in the late battle.
He said that while the defenders of
Nueva Laredo did not have any big
guns, they had a well drilled and well
armed force and seemed to have plenty
of ammunition.
From the nature of the surrounding
country. he was of the opinion, that
only by Il quick, desperate charge could
the besieeerS get within the streets of
the city, as it is open country and does
not afford II shelter for sOrties or adj
vance in ambuscade. The only thing
left for the constitutional lists to do. if
they wish to take the city, is to advance
under darkness and dig trenches to
cover their advance or carry the
by IA determined rush.
He stated that it would be almost an
im%posSibility for the conStitutiOnalists
to starve the town out as there was
more provisions To be had III the town
than in all the surrounding country
and the bcSicgerS would be reduced to a
state of famine before the garrison.
unless the besiegcrS run their legs off
gathering up the sanity portions of food
and pr0vinder in the surrounding dis
tricts.
He stated that continual additions to
the force within the town was very evil
dent and that the crossing over from
Laredo to y. Laredo was going on unin-
tcrruptcd'. while he was there. He
stated that the conditions in Laredo
were pretty much as they were in
brownsville before the MatamoroS bat
tie.

Eminent Doctor
Says Blindness
Due to Catarrh
ASSOCIATED Press DispatchO

ASSOCIATED Press DispatchO
LONDON. Aug. 6.-Dr. H. Manning
Fish, Of Joliet, H., declared at the
medical congress that most OF the
blindness IN the world is the result o.
catarrh in the upper nasal cavities OF
the bony cells composing the roof CT
the nostrils.
DR. Fish described his experience IN
thirty six cases, covering a period cf
several years, claiming that in each OF
these immediate Improvement OF the
vision followed the effective treatment
OF the diseased nasal cavities. and al p
vised that in cases OF loss Of vision
following grip, measles, scarlet fever
and kindred ailments. relief be sought
through treatment Of the noses of the
patients.
Catarrh is caused by a germ, which
must be destroyed before the catarrA
itself can be cured. II not cured,
blindness may result An extended
history OF many extraordinary cures
effected by the Gauss treatment will
probably be brought to the attention
of the next International meeting Of
the medical congress.
