Douglas, Ark, July 3.-The condi
tions in Guaymas are terrible, with a
famine threatening the civilians and
soldiers according to statements of
two brothers, the first residents OF
that port to reach the border since
the federals, last week, permitted
800 families to depart. When the
brothers left. they said the federal
garrison numbered 200 and was de-
creased daily by drafts to reinforce
the garrisons across the gulf of Cali
fornia. The soldiers remaining are
said to be demoralized because they
are receiving their pay only III scrip,
which is good here bu now in Quay
mas. 1t is said the federals have
made preparations to evacuate whel-
ever the constitutionalists attack the
city.

of the reception committee, and the man
who brought the convention to Birmine-

electrical men, said that he could recog-
nize no body of men that were of greater
service to the state and the nation than
the men who harnessed electricity TO
perform the work of men and made of
1T a great commercial factor. He re-
marked that they eliminated waste,
made possible. great potential powers
and were In many particulars the lead
ers in the progress of the country. He
spoke fatteringly of the type of men
that were here representing the cleo

EUFAULA

Eufaula, December ESPECIAL -That
there has been general improvement in
the financial condition of this section in
the past few weeks is evidenced in the
statements of the nationa hanks of the
city just published at the call from the
comptroller of the treasury. The indi-
vidual deposits have increased, while other
features of the reports are also more sat
fsfactory, in the eye of bankers and busi-
ness men. There is being a gradual liqui-
dalton of debts here, incident to a slight
selling movement in cotton.
Cotton that has been held in the coun-
try this fall is gradually shifting into the
city, according to recent reports of the
warehouses. The first Saturday in the
month brought in larger number OF bales
than for some weeks past, and it Is con-
tinuing to come in steadily.
Nearly 20 negro blind tigers We're raided
last night by the police. with the assist
ance of three negro detectves-one man
and two women, who pretended to be
members of concert company, which de-
sil ed to give a performance here.
Considerable damage was done by fire
this moring at the residence of J. NJ.
Mills, on Orange street. One of the back
rooms, used for storage purposes, was in
full blaze when discovered by Mrs. Mills
who was awakened by the cracking and
smoke.
The Barbour county circuit court, now
In session here, will be kept busy through

power house to get the cars started and
the lights on. He never did make the
speech.
And then Franklin Overbaugh was
presented with "a punch bowl by Mr.
Turner. The recipient is popular
man and the presiding officer The
punch bowl was a solid cut glass af-
fair of wonderful beauty. 1t was a
marvel of exquisite cutting. The sad
part of the affair was that as Mr..
Overbaugh reached forward to get the
beautiful bowl Mr.. Turner let 1t fall
and it smashed into thousand pieces.
The delegates, chagrined over the ex-
ceedingly regrettab1e ending of the
presentation, perhaps will procure an
other bowl and let hand more steady
make the presentation. OF course, the
delegates enjoyed the amazement and
embarrassment of their presiding Of
ficer when Mr.. Turner deliberately
smashed the bowl on the floor
Tom Heflin, after the breaking of
the bowl, contributed short inter-
ruption to the affair by attracting the
attention of those present and serving
them with laugh a la carte.
Mr.. Turner tried to explain away his
part of the bowl presentation but the
delegates would accept nothing like

spirited passage at arms between Chief
of Police Harvey and Mr.. Turner when

around. This distracted the attention
of the party while more wireless mes
sages were received.
Mr.. Turner permitted J. e. Shelby of
the Rotarians to make few remarks
in which he thanked the members for
coming here and In which he threw q
bouquet or two at Mr.. Turner. 1t was

of bale of cotton. Two husky steve
dores rolled in bale of the fleecy
staple and Mr.. Turner presented the
bale to the judge. No one spoke for a
minute whereupon Miss Florence Kel-
1y, soloist at the press club, emerged
from the side of the bale and sang a
song to the Judge. Judge Debevoisc
said ne wanted that bale OF cotton and
would get a quo warranto II necessary
to procure It.

For three hours last night members
of the Electrical Jobbers' association
made merry at the Birmingham News
paper club. Alone and unrestricted by
the presence of any unworthy influence
they trampled upon the better known
members with gridiron stunts and list
ened carefully from time to time to
words of enlightenment which came
from the chosen few who were permit
ted to speak seriously.
Beginning at $50 o'clock the fun flew
thick and furious until about midnight
when the affair was terminated. 1t was
said to have been in measure the most
enjoyable affair that has ever been
given the electrical men at any con-
vention. The cabaret features, the wit
that was ever present and the aban-
don of the attendants to the spirit of
the occasion made the affair pass away
as one of extreme pleasure
The dinner started off promptly at
the appointed hour. There was no less
than 200 men in the cafe of the club

with set banquet, course by course
but with sandwiches and the like. The

A.. A. Gray, general manager of the
Electrical Review and Western Electri-

was, one of the most prominent figures
about the Tutwiler lobby yesterday
morning.
Alabama has great opportunities for
electric development" said Mr.. Gray.
However, unless the national admin
istration changes its position the de-
velopments will be slow. 1t is pity
that the federal government will hest
tate to hold out its hands to the men
who are willing to spend their time ana
money developing power in this state.
The time will come, however, when
Alabama will be fully developed along
that line and there will be several Ala
bama Power company developments
here.
II am delighted with Birmingham.
1t is great city. I enjoyed the auto
mobile ride yesterday more, than l can
say Birmingham should be boosted
very strongly by it's home people so
that the wonders of this place become
well and favorably known. I am sure
that when the people throughout the
country get the true facts about Biz
mingham as n meeting place that you
will have quite busy time entertaining
