The resolution Is not considered to have effect. except as an expression of the sentiment of the Senate if it Is adopted. The resolution further de- clares the Presidents authority is not related to the power to declare war, but is derived from his right as head civil officer of the federal government to execute the laws fosterning com merce. The text follows:
 Be it Resolved by the United States Senate. That 1t is the sense of the Senate that the President of the Uni ted States has. by virtue of the power of his office under the constitution and laws of the United States, the right to protect commerce destined from the United States to foreign na- tions to the same extent that he has to protect interstate commerce between

CONFEREES RETICENT

Those who are reported to have attended the conference here yesterday declined positively to discuss the matter. How ever no surprise was expressed when it was learned last night that MT. Sanford had applied. It Is reported that the move ment to get MT Sanford into the contest began a day or two ago, but was not organized here until yesterday.
 Those who were behind the movement were not the leaders of the Anti-Saloon league. Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the organization, is in Atlanta, where he has been for the past several days, and others who hold official positions with the league are known to have taken no part in the proceedings. Those behind the plans acted unofficially so far as the organization is concerned.
 Several additional applications for the position were presented to the governor yesterday. Up to last night the following names had been submitted: Richard V. Evans of Birmingham, William H. Sam ford of Montgomery. Norman D. Godbold of Camden, A. B. Foster of Troy. s. D. Logan of Centreville. w. w. Whiteside of Anniston, J. B. Barnett of Monroeville and Oscar s Lewis of Dothan.
 The name of Senator Thomas Judge of Jefferson county will be presented, it is declared.

 As a conclusion he outlined the am- bition of the great railway system to be:
 To see that unity of interest that is born of cooperation between the public and the railroads:
 To see perfected that fair and frank policy in the management of railroads which invites the confidence of gov ernmental agencies;
 To realize that liberality of treat ment which will enable it to obtain the additional capital needed for the acquisition of better and enlarged fa- cilities incident to the demand for in- creased and better service; and,
 Finally to take it's niche in the body polite of the south alongside of other great industries with no more but with equal liberties. equal rights and equal opportunities

The light-hngered gentry has the city in an awful plight.
 While some dare-devils robbed the city jails storehouse of sacks of four meal, feed and swiped about 100 pounds of white meat in addition, they have dis couraged the police department to the extent that it will thwart future rob- berries by buying no provisions.
 It remained for Arlie Barber to take this measure to keep the deft-handed gents from appropriating every tarpaulin that the garbage department, of which he is in control, could purchase.
 The clever means of checking the ac- tivities of the thieves was brought to light when NJ D. Riddle appeared to pro- test against the garbage department haul ing dead animals by his store without having them covered. He avowed that the odors that the various animals left in their wake defed definition.
 In an effort previously to get relief, MT Riddle took. the matter up with MT.

That the innovation Is to he a sue

expressed themselves as very much
pleased with the treatment they re-

pleasant and offers a world of expert

young woman.
The experiment is being tried out at
the main office of the Postal Tele-

local manager, Mr.. A. c. Akers, de-
cared that he believed the plan would
work out even better than he had ex-
