Venm summonng his chauffeur, he hastily drove to Rauschers, dismissed

discover was a ball, at which members of congress were conspicuous by their
absence. h
oe mere sui no, it wasn't Mr.. Clark then returned home to renew the search
o his engagement book. Here he told his dilemma to Bennett, his son and
parliamentary clerk of the house.
That's easy" said Bennett. "That dinner is wherever Jim Mann is. Why
not call up Mrs. Mann. She ought to know where her husband is" Z
Mrs. Mann did know. Mr.. Mann was at dinner at the Army and Navy club,
and that of course. was where the Phi Kappa Psi banquet was then, surely.
So down to the club the speaker drove hastily, inquring as he entered
where the dinner" was being given. The clerk said it was on the fourth floor,
and without a doubt the speaker bent his steps thfther.
The first sign Of misgtving penetrated his mind as Mr. Clark caught a
glimpse of the diners through the door, which stood partially open. He began
to think he had made some egregious blunder and would have pulled back,
when at that moment Mr.. Chiperdeld, catching sight of him, shouted his name
and every Republican present Joined in bringing in the speaker.

NEW ORLEANS STILL
 CLAMORS FOR GOAL
J. l.. BriertOn Talks About Conditions in Louisiana
 Section

New Orleans and surrounding ter ritory is clamoring for coal and does not care so much what the cost is according to J. L. Brierton, general manager. of the Alabama-New Orleans Transportation company, who was here yesterday Mr. Brierton declares that there is an acute shortage and that very high prices for the fuel are prevalent throughout the New Orleans section.
 Birmingham coal is bringing splen- cid prices in New Orleans said MT Brierton last night. The only trou- ble is that sufficient amount can not be secured to meet the needs oi our territory. The demand is so great ard the price so high that quite a number of the little railroad lines running through the lumber belt have decided to burn wood until relief is

DRAKE MAKES REPORT

Drake came to me in early June, said Attorney General Martin, land in- formed me of conditions in Madison county. I told him to go back and write me a detailed account, after which l would act as the facts justi- fled. In the meanwhile the purpose of Drake's trip to Montgomery became known and Judge Ballentine called to- eether a special grand jury in the law and equity court to investigate election frauds
 When l received this information at once selected Solicitor Joseph R, Tate of Birming gham to conduct an in- vestigation. I chose MT Tate upon the recommendation of Perry Turner, who stated that he was able, unbiased and feared no man. That introduced MT Tate to Madison county.
 When MT. Tate reached Huntsville he found a muddled state of affairs The grand jury was in control of the Oyerton forces and Probate Judge Will liam T. Lawler was in grave dangsr of indictment and impeachment. MT Tate, however. proceeded to play one side against the other, as he had nc favorites. All he wanted was the truth

ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY FOR THANKSGIVING AT
 FLORSHEIM BOOTERY
Decorations Typical of the Season and With Fine Display of Goods Show.
 Art in Window Dressing

The complication of art in window dressing is seen in the window of the "Florsheim Bootery'' on Twentieth street. The windows, which have been especially decorated for the Thanksgivlng season, typify the season both In the shoes dls- played and the style of decorations used.
 And it isn't such an easy matter to make window an artistic triumph, with nothing but mems shoes to show, ac- cording to l.. B. Rouse, manager or the place. But when the Florsheim shoes are combined with autumn floral decorations, against a background of green curtain, tken there's something to look at so says MT. Florsheim, and so evidently thought the hundreds of people who stopped yes terday to look into the window.
 In one window is a bowl of large bronze chrysanthemums, and in the other clus- ters of brilliantly colored autumn leaves One of the particularly striking features is the window attachment attached to the door, and in which is displayed a single pair of Florsheim shoes, their beauty enhanced by the use or large shadow light.

Various Lines Will Cooper ate to Relieve Present Nationwide Shortage

Washington, November 2S.-Railroads of the northwest have agreed to aid the campaign for relief of countrywide car shortage by putting about 16,5OO of their ore cars in the coal carrying service This was announced here tonight by the American Railway association.
 During the day the committee announced that all roads having on their lines more box cars than they themselves own had been ordered to move the excess, loaded or empty, toward lines which have fewer cars than they own. Within the past week orders for the return to their own CTS of coal and fruit cars have been is- sued.
 The committee made public statement of box car locations on November l, showing large excesses on some roads and deficiencies on others. The Pennsyl- vania headed the list of the former with 90963 more cars than it owns; the Boston and Maine had an excess of HIS; South ern, s496; New Haven 7520; New York Cen tral s7S2; Erie, 6219; Philadelphia and Reading 6054, and Chesapeake and Ohio G556

TATE WILL REMAIN

Attorney General Martin will remain
 in Huntsville for probably another day
 and will then return to Montgomery. Solicitor Tate will remain in Huntsville
 for the remainder of the week to conduct the prosecution in several other murder trials.
 Joe Tate expects to hang a few more before he leaves Madison county said
 the attorney general.
 The trial of Overton, his pursuit across the country and the reward paid for his capture is estimated to have cost the state of Alabama, the Lawler fam fly and the defendant fully s25,000. Of this sum the fee of Judge Allen to de-
 fend Overton was probably the largest single item.
 The most money was probably spent by the Lawler family. They paid the expenses of a corps of detectives for several months to chase Overton through out the country and also to gather up evidence. They also paid a reward of $500: paid substantial fee to Douglass Taylor for his legal work and 4on- tributed to the support of the attorney generals office owing to the refusal of Governor Henderson to 0. k. the bills incurred in criminal prosecutions by MT. Martin.
