SUGGESTS ToMBIGBEE TRIP

Mr. Gerard Harris, editor of The Birmingham News,
and one of the abest most progressive and broadcast
vsoned newspaper in the South, comes forward with
splendid suggestion in connection with the proposed trip
of Columbus business men up the Warrior River for the
purpose Of observing the extent Of the Warrior project
and the value Of river transportation
Mr. Harris suggests that the trip begin at Birmingham
and down the river to Demopos and then up the Tom
bgbee to Columbus putting the Coumbans off at their
very door,
This suggestion is magnificent one, and an effort is
now being made to secure the use of the Government boat
for the trip provided up-riyer trip on the Tombgbee
is feasible, The Warrior trip will be made anyway.
Ultimate improvement Of the Tombigbee may be in
the offing 1t may be several years before final con-
summation. But as sure the Warrior project proves
feasible and as sure as there any enterprise worth while
in Columbus, the stream will be improved and it will be
fine artery of river tapping of the richest
and most fertile sections of the South.
With the powerful influence of the city of Birmingham
and the Birmingham District and the Warrior tributary
section Tuscaloosa Mobile and Demopos, behind inland
waterway improvement, the chances for the realization
of the Tombigbee dream Of years the best have
ever had. #
Government engineers have approved the project
thousands and thousands of dollars have been approp
aed by Congress for surveys and the engineers have
reported the improvement Of the Tombgbee possible and
feasible. But the Government wanted to be at least
assured of potential tonnage that would justify the
penditure of the millions Of dollars that would be
quired to make the stream navgable
We helpless. There way to show in q
concrete way the possible tonnage; or if the tonnage
was here, whether it would be river tonnage Now the
opportunity has to show Congress and the Board Of
Engineers that inland waterways is profitable enter
prise feasible, and destined to be potential factor il
the commerce of the South.
Every ton of freight that rides the bosom of the Warrior
is credit to inland waterways and indirectly credit t.
the Tombgbee project and directly every ton of freight
shipped the Warrior to from this section,
credit to the Tombigbee. 8i.,f Hf

"A program meeting Of the First
Methodist Missionary Society was
held, at the First Methodist church
last Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. w. C.
Boards circle had charge of the in

talks on the Mission Settlement at

eastern suburb Of Tampa, settled by
emigrants from Cuba, who left their
native home to escape excessive tax
alton, and established profitable cigar
industries in Florida. Some years
ago Miss Louise VOLTA and other
mission workers became interested
in the settlement in which no English
was spoken and Cuban customs and
traditions held sway. The Wolff

of these earnest church workers and
now embraces five teachers, day
nursery, boys gymnasium and al
features Of modern American schools
Social meetings for the settlement

THE FIRE DEMON

Last Thursday night, about 1880,
the firemen were called to a dwelling
house on College and Fifteenth, the
property of Mrs. Bush and occupied
by Mr.. James Fletcher. The flames
had gained considerable Roadway be-
fore the alarm was turned in, but the
fire-fighters made quick run and got
the blaze under control before much
damage was done. The damage was
approximately $1,5O00O, partially COW
cred by insurance.
On Friday night the firemen re-
sponded to a false alarm, going to the
home of Mr.. Wyatt Morgan on Eighth
street and Fourth avenue, South.
Trash was on fire in the yard, and
citizens thought the dwelling was
burning and gave the alarm.

!" UP IN MABEL'S
ROOM" THURSDAY
Delightful Farce Comedy Coming to
Columbus Opera House Next
Thursday Night.

"Up In Mabel's ROOM" the farce
which A. H. Woods will present at
the Columbus Opera House on Thurs
day, January q, for an engagement
of one performance, and which le-
ponds on a piece of feminine finery
known as a rose-pink chemise, was
almost ruined a few nights ago and
a big audience was all but tuned
away. 1t seems that it is the custom
Of the management Of the play to
have the young lady members of the
company send their stage finery to
the cleaners whenever it is necessary
to DO so, and in they way the product
ION is given its spick and span ap-
pearance,
On the day Of the night in ques-
| ton, Miss Leading Lady sent the rose
pink chemise out to have it restored
to its original beauty. At eight
o'clock the much needed combination
had not been returned. The property
man reported that the cleaners had
closed up shop and gone home. The
stage manager began to say things
not printable and started to take an
inventory of the personal wardrobes
of the ladies of the company, To his
chagrin not one of them possessed a
rose-pink chemise. There were other
colors, but no rose-pink. Futher-
more, the words "Garry to Mabel
would have to be put on the article
or there would be no sense to the plot
of the play. 1t was terrible pre-
dicament and the orchestra was just
, about to be asked to play another
selection until some solution could DC
found, when the cleaners boy showed
up with the imperative piece Of I'M
!, dewear and explained that he had
stalled his engine on the way to the
theatre. The manager Of the com
pany Immediately gave orders tc

Speaking of the championship Hagen
said that all were bothered by the baked
state of the greens. No provision had
been made for artificially watering the
classic links and this probably is the
first time in their history that they have
needed it.
Hagen paid a great tribute to Tom

won the championship.
Evans attributes his failure to the

J.B. STANCHFIELD,
NOTED LAWYER, DIES

Island Home.
QUIT STILLMAN CASE
Forced to Withdraw After
First Representing Wife
of the Banker.

John Barry Stanchfield, one of the
greatest trial lawyers in. America, died
In his home in Islip, l.. l.. yesterday in
his s.Zty-seventh year. He had been
III ten dnvs of kidney disease. There
Is little doubt, his friends say. that
overwork hastened his end
The last court appearance of Mr..
Stanchfic:d was as counsel for the Guar
anty Trust Company in suit brought
by that banking concern against the
Postal Life Insurance Company for pos
session OF the property at the south
west corner of Fifth avenue and Forty
fourth street, formerly occupied by
Sherry's restaurant One of his recent
appearances. too. was as counsel for
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman against
James A. Stillman; but three weeks ago
III health forced him to abandon work
In that case.
At his bedside yesterday morning
when life left him were his wife. his
two children. John B. Stanchfield, Jra
ard Mrs. Arthur NJ. Wright, and SON
in-law. DR.. Arthur NJ. Wright There
are no other immediate. relatives. Fu-
neral services for Mr.. Stanchfield will
be held in Elmira, n. Y. on Tuesday
afternoon.
Mr.. Stanchfield was born in Elmira on
March 80. 1855. the son of DR.. John X.
Stanchfield. prominent physician. He
was educated in the public schools and
then went to the Free Academy and to
Amherst being graduated from Amherst
in 1875. The next year he passed in the
Harvard Law School and in 1877 he
went into the law office of David B. Hill
A little later he became a partner of
Hills and remained so until the Sage Of
.Wolfert's Roost became Governor.
His political career began more than
forty years ago when, in 1880, he became
District Attorney of Chemung county,
holding the office for six years. Within
the next six years he was elected Mayor of
Elmira three times and then was sent
to the state Assembly. In 1900 he was
nominated by the Democratic party for
Governor. but was defeated by Benjamin
B. OdelL Jr. The next year he was a
candidate for United States Senator but
could not realize his ambition.
Many lawyers consider him to have
been the ablest trial lawyer Of his time
II has been said that he possessed all
the numerous requisites for the intellec-
tual subjugation Of the bench and the
emotional captivation of the jury. So
we'll understood was this that the an
nouncement that Mr.. Stanchfield was to
appear in person to argue a cause in
variably meant a crowded courtroom.
Among Mr.. Stanchfield's most noted
cases was his defence of F. Augustus
Heinze from charges of misapplying
funds of the Mercantile National Bank.
Heinze was acquitted and paid Stanch-
field a fee of $500, 900. 80
He defended Henry Siegel so ably that
the one time department store man
served only a year in prison instead of
a number of years. 1t was largely due
TO Stanchfield's astuteness that Harry X.
Thaw kept out of Mattewan after his
escape and was finally pronounced sane
by a jury. For these and similar SER
vices he is believed to have received
enormous fees even for these days of
highly paid legal services.
