Almond Genernl Leasing Bill.

WASHINGTON. d. c, Feb. 7
The senate committee on public
lands has amended the general leas-
Ing bill by taking out all reference to
coal, leaving it apply to oil. gas, phos-
phate, potassium and sodium. This
was done TO lessen opposition to the
measure. The committee has decided
to amend the bill 80 that operators
who have expended money and labor
in the development of oil land shall
be given a patent for the land instead
OF merely being given preference in
leasing it, as provided In the house
bill.
Az amended up to this time, the
discretionary power of the secretary
Of the interior has not been lessened.
The committee is still considering
further amendments to the bill.

MANY CANDIDATES
 IN PAST HAVE BEEN INDUCED ID RETIRE
But It Does Not Follow That They Acted on Di- rect Promise of
 Reward
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, August 5.-(special. )-That it has been a common practice in Alabama politics for one candidate to induce an- other to retire in his favor. is generally admitted Some members of the legisla- ture, before whom at present pend charges to the effect that John Purifoy, secretary of state. paid J. H. Nunnellee 5000 to withdraw his opposition, adhere to the opinion, however, that that practice should be abandoned.
 T know it has not infrequently hap pened," said Mir. Welch of Jefferson, that candidates have retired in favor of other candidates when certain induce ments were offered them to do so. Never theless, the legislature should take action to make that practice serious offense ta the end that 1t might be permanently abandoned"
 During the last campaign, as is'remem- bered, MT Nunnellee was not the only candidate to retire from the field After the first primary when no one of the can didates for state treasurer had received majority. Brooks Smith retired in the interest of MT. Lancaster, who was elected. At present, Mir Smith is serving the state in the department of which he was seeking at the time of his retirement to be the head In the first primary, no candidate received a majority for the office of commissioner of agriculture. MT. Seymour, who had been beaten, espoused the cause of MT. Wade against Dr. Persons, and Mir. Wade was elected. Mir. Seymour at the present time is serving the state as chief clerk of the pure food and drug department, a subsidiary Of the agricultural department.
 It does not necessarily follow. 1t Is point ed out. that the action of MT. Smith in retiring from the field. or of Mir. Seymour in espousing the cause of MT. Wade was the result of their yielding to inducement of any character. That both were cared for by the men whom they aided, is con- sdered in the light of an incident; or rather that the successful men at the polls ealized that their former opponents were individuals of great merit, and as such, should be enlisted in the service of the people. However. these cases do serve as proof that MT Nunnellee was not the only candidate in the recent primary who retired from the field and reaped, there by, benefit.
 seriously consider the alleged offense of MT. Purfoy and if certain men said to have witnessed the alleged transaction between him and MT. Nunnellee bear out the charges, the senate, 1t is admitted. will have a nice case on It's hands. 1t Is thought that while dealing with the allegations of MT. Brown against the sec retary of state the legislature may in- formally or unofficially pry into the fact that opponents Of other officeholders were indirectly and in part at least prepared against the possibilities of future dis tress.

NO UNDUE INCREASE IN U. 5. EXPORTS ID
 EUROPEAN NEUTRALS

Washington, August 5.-The state de- pertinent has assembled mass of sta . tistics to refute the British assumption that increased exportations from the Uni- ted States to Holland and Scandinavian countries indicates that some of these goods are finding their way into Ger many and Austria. The figures will be included in a preliminary draft of the reply to the three British notes made public yesterday which is being prepared for President Wilson.
 A study of trade conditions between the United States and neutral European countries has been made by the state de- partment and investigations of Scandina- vian, and Dutch trade by the department of commerce. A report from Consul Gen eral Skinner at London on the foreign trade of Great Britain for the six months ended June 30. shows that British exports to Scandinavian countries and Holland have increased as have American.
 The state department will contend that there can be no more assumption that n.erioan goods going to these neutral countries are bound for Germany. than that British exports will reach Britain 8 enc mics.

 One marvels also at the variety Of birds that could be kept as pets. Finches, lin nets, redpoles. tomtits, robins, wrens, stonechats, babblers, redstarts. and long, tailed. short-tailed, wag-tailed, and crest ed varieties of all of them in every size from the minute humming bird to the plump scarlet cockatoo, all vie for that popularity which up to the present has been the monopoly of the canary.
 And these little birds are all quite cheap. A few shillings will buy most of them, but, on the other hand, 9500 would be asked for gorgeous crimson bird of paradise, or a100O for the canary-bull- finch White Rose the most expensive song-bird In the world.
