Conference in Washington
Not Productive of Result
Yet — 1 Are Waiting for
Return of Papers.
WASHINGTON. —Hilary A. Her
bert, formerly secretary of the navy,
and Representative Hardwick, ol
Geoigia. selected as arbitrators to ad
just the differences between the Geor
gia Railroad company and their fire
men, met in conference here at If
oi’clock Monday to consider the situ
ation. Mr. Herbert announced he and
Mr. Hardwick shortly wouid go to At
lanta and Augusta, where testimony
of both sides to the controversy will
be taken.
Following the conference it was an
nounced that the name of the third
arbitrator had not been decided upon.
The articles of agreement sent to
Georgia to be redrafted by the parties
in interest have not been received,
and until they have been the third
arbitrator, under the Erdman act,
cannot be designated. Further con
ferences are to be held.
Neill May Name Man.
Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga—No new develop
ments in the pending settlement by
arbitration of the Georgia railroad
strike were given out in Atlanta to
day by Vice President Ball and Gen
eral Counsel Dickson of the firemen.
The fact that the morning passed
without word from Washington of the
agreement of Congressman Hardwick
and Hon. H. A. Herbert upon a third
man for the arbitration board, is
taken here as a sure indication that
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Neill will be called on to name the
man who will complete the board.
The five days allotted the repre
sentatives of the road and the fire
men to get together on the third
member of the board expired Sunday
at noon which would automatically
transfer the matter to the labor com
missioner and the chairman of the
interstate commerce commission' un
der the provisions of the Erdman act.

TO BIRMINGHAM
Dr. J. T. Plunket announced to his

ed a meeting »>f the congregation for
Sunday morning for the purpose of

senting his resignation to the pres
bytary.
The South Highlands church Is the
representative Presbyterian church of
Birmingham and will In a very short
while be the representative Presby
terian church of Alabama. Dr. Plun
will succeed the Right Rev. Spen
ser Foster, who resigned on account
of bad health.
As yet nothing has been done with
references to calling a successor for
Dr. Plunket and It will probably be
two or three weeks before the call

FOREIGNERS HELP
CELEBRATE FOURTH
CHICAGO. —The Danlsh-Amerlcan
association has made arrangements
for a festival of a novel and unique
character to take pla.V in Denmark
at the old city of Aarhus, on July
4th in connection with a national ex
position now in progress at that place.
It is the first time an attempt .has
been made to have a Fourth of July
celebration in a foreign country ar
ranged by naturalized Americans de
scended from that country. The ob
ject is to afford Scandinavians an oc
casion to learn the truth about the
country in wnich many of their nation
ality have made their home and learn
ed to love as their own country, and
where they have availed themselves
of the opportunities offered them, and
with which they are thoroughly fa
miliar.
The crown prince of Denmark, and
both the American ambassador to
Denmark and the Danish ambassador
to the United States will participate
in the exercises.
QEMOdTSUM
OVER BRYAN'S PLAN
Senators Fear Nebraskan,
If Named, Might Try to
Assubs Reins.
WASHINGTON. The announce
ment from Lincoln that William Jen
nings Bryan will be a candidate for
the senatorship from Nebraska next
year has aroused the greatest inter
est in national political circles here.
Immediately after election last fall it
Is was understood he would make
this race, but later it became under
stood he had given up the idea.
The Nebraska legislature adopted
the Oregon senatorial primary and
election plan last winter at Mr. Bry
an’t request. Under this each party
will nominate its own candidate for
the senate, and at the election in No
vember, 1910, the entire electorate
will vote directly for senator. The can
didates for the legislature will have
the option of declaring their willing
ness to support, in the assembly, the
popular choice, or their purpose to
ignore that choice and vote as they
please.
Mr. Bryan's opponent, as matters
now stand, Is likely to be Senator El
mer Jacob Burkett. But the political
situation in Nebraska Is peculiar. The
liquor question overshadows all oth
ers at. present. Mr. Bryan a few days
ago came out with the declaration
that he expected to take an active
part in favor of suppression of the
liquor traffic.
Will Be Big Issue.
This will become a big issue in this
campaign. Senator Burkett, like Bry
an, is a total abstainer, and has al
ways lined up with the anti-saloon
element. It Is therefore surmised
that the liquor Interest will make Its
fight in the republican primary, in an
effort to nominate, as the republican
candidate, some other man than Bur
kett, more friendly to the saloon
cause. If they/ succeed In beating
Burkett with a liquor man, they will
then back this republican vigorously
in the general electirm, and in such
a campaign a, great deal of ffiouev
likely would appeax.

ROOSEVELT IS
CONDEMNED KILLER
Actress Says Stories of His
Conquests in Africa Have
Bad Effect on Boys.
LOS ANGELESf—Minnie Maddem
Fiske laid aside her theatrical career
long enough today to severely criti
cise former President Roosevelt for
the salughter of animals that he Is
piling up on his African hunt.
“The attitude of the butcher is not
similar to that of the hunter,” Mrs.
Fiske declared. “The butcher has no
rapturous thrilfr as he pierces the
throat of a defenseless animal. Ho
kills it because it Is his business to
supply the people with meat, and not
for the mere lust of blood.
“The people are appreciative of Mr.
Roosevelt's good qualites, but they
are not in sympathy with him on his
present enterprise. One great harm
from his African hunt is that the boys
of the country will want to emulate
him. The stories of his slaughter,
printed almost daily, will have a most
brutalizing and degrading effect on
the youth of the country.
"Mr. Roosevelt may be a brave man,
but It requires no bravery to go
th-ough such a made-to-order hunting
expedition as he Is now going.”

DEMOCRATS WILL
TAKE HAND SOON
Georgia Senator Says they
Will Not Keep Quiet and
Let Tax he Plaecd on Cot
ton and Ties.
WASHINGTON.—“Wo will surely
be here until the first of August, and
probably until the first of Seplem
ber," said Senator Clay of Georgia,
respecting the session of congress.
He had just concluded reading a
newspaper report of the action of the
senatte finance committee with refer
ence to the portions of the tariff bill
which have remained unacted upon
until Sunday. ”1 observed,” he said,
“that the committee has placed a
tariff on hides and also on cotton bag
ging and cotton ties.
“We of the South are not so much
concerned about the duty on hides
as such, but New England need not
think that she can tax our people on
ties and bagging without hearing
from ,us. So far we have remained
very quiet in the present contest, but
unless I am much mistaken the dem
ocratic senators wlli be heard from
from this time on.
“The duty on bagging alone will
cost our people at least five million
dollars a year and we will not sub
mit to it without a protest."

WASHINGTON, D. C. —President

cess of refining by the use of bone
black. This Is the process which
the trust performs, and through the
monopoly of which it controls sugar.
Mr. Bass explained the manufac
ture from the beginning, showing that
the refining process is unnecessary a*
to a large proportion of sugar, and
that unrefined sugar 99 V 4 per cent
pure would come Into the country at
prices far lower than the trust
charges If only the color test Imposed
by the tariff did not keep it. out, and
permit only dark sugars, unfit for the
market, to come In, thus necessitat

The president was much interested
