Montgomery, January 14.-(Special1 Lieut.. Gov. Thomas E. Kilby named this afternoon the standing committees of the senate. The chairmen named were in accordance with the story printed in The Age-Herald of this morning. It is also to be seen that the prediction that Senator Judge of Jefferson would not be put on the committee on local legislation was fulfilled.
 In this connection there is story of unusual interest. In the first place, in- asmuch as half Of the local legisla- ton which quadrennially comes before the legislature originates in Jefferson it stands to reason that the senator from Jefferson should be so situated that he could care for that legislation Great pressure was brought to bear on MT. Kilby to bring about the plac- ing of MT. Judge on that committee Great pressure was brought, too--and from people of Birmingham-to keep Mir Judge off that committee. MT. Kilby was in a quandaryfi for it happens that sumetime ago. without being aware of the urgent desire of Jefferson county ne promised certain attorney con nected with a corporation that he would rot name MT. Judge a member of that committee. It was not influence brought to bear. but simply the re- qrest of an individual who was a strong supporter of MT. Kilby that q political opponent of MT kilby be de- Irived of a certain seat which thsn appeared altogether unimportant.
 Protests Too Late
 Too late MT. Kilbys friends from Jefferson who desire that Jefferson prosper, came to him with protests. Mir. Judge is a member of the finance and taxation, the judiciary, the tenn rerance, and the mining committees all good assignments.
 The committee appointments follow:
 1. On Judiciary, to consist of II mem bers: Lusk, Bonner, Pride. Key, Wal lace, Hollis, Hill Milner, Denson, Judge Kline.
 ?. On revision of laws, to consist of II members: Milner, Brown, Key, Bon ner, Wallace. Hollis, Lee, Horton. Ar rjngton, Winkler. Lewis.
 j. on constitution and constitutional revision and amendments. to consist of seven members: Ellis, Pride, Brown, Mccain. Lee. Holmes. Winkler.

There has been in all nations q
time when the minds of the people
seem to have been carried away be
yond their natural character Such
times have been less frequent in Swift
zerland than elsewhere. Simplicity
frugality and moderation, the preserv.

portion of these people. They have
never maintained armies to defend
their own frontiers, or to make en-.
croachments on their neighbors. They
have no citadels, which may be turned
either against the citizens or the enc.

PENNOCK TO PITCH
IN ST. LOUIS TODAY
Browns Pitching Staff Shot to
Pieces-Hamilton Suspended.
Macks Show Confidence.

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE first of the
Eastern teams will be seen here today
when Connie Mack's American League
champions meet the Browns, The Ath-
letics arrived in town last night, and
are rather happy bunch considering
that they are down in the race There
Is an air of confidence in the camp Of
the visitors wAich spells trouble for
R!ckey's men. The Rickeyites have
looked very bad to date. and the failure
of several men to get into condition has
been a great hGpdlCap.
Manager Hickey will stand for no more
breaking of the training rules, as is
evident by the suspension of Pitcher
Earl Hamilton. The little southpaw was
suspended indefinitely and fined $500 by
Manager Hickey for characterization and
that Hamilton not only has neglected
his own work, but has tried to stir up
discomfort among the rest of the players.
At present the Browns pitching staff
Is shot to pieces and Hickey really has
no idea who will be selected for mound
duty during the present series,
Aside from Loudermilk, none of his
pitchers has shown anything but Il dis
position to toss ball games away, But
Weilman, Baumgartner and Hoch have
shown great improvement in the past
week.
Manager Mack will send Pennocli
against the Browns If his present plans
do not miscarry. This young southpaw
found the Browns easy last season, and
in one game here allowed but three hits
and struck out IL men.
On another occasion in Philly he
famed 10 men and scored another shut
out. II is one team that Pennock seems
to have at his mercy, and he Is expected
to twirl twice In the present series.
