TO HAVE MORE NAVAL OFFICERS.
Members of Senate and House Com
mittees Have Agreed on Increase.
Washington, December 20.—The mem
bers of the senate and house naval com
mittees, after conferences with the soe
retary of the navy, has practically de
cided on a plan for the increase of the
personnel of the navy. It contemplates
an additional naval cadet for each con
gressional district, two for each senator,
and ten annually to be appointed at large
by the President. The difficulty in con
nection with inequality in classes which
would result from the sudden injection of
the increase allowance is to he solved by
giving the secretary of the navy the dis
cretion of determining the times at which
new appointments are to be made.

HMD TO PREVENT
SMTERIHG
Chairman Knapp Doubts Sound
ness of Argument for Publictiy
MUCH SUNK IN MORTGAGES
In a Forceful Speech Mr. Knapp Says
It Is Plain to Him That Publicity
Would Be an Added Incentive
to industrial Combination.
Washington, December 30.—The feature
of today’s session of the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Science,
which is holding its annual meeting in 1
this city, was a paper on “Capitalization
and Publicity,’’ read by Chairman Knapp,
of the Interstate Commerce commission,
j He discussed the proposition that all cor
porations under congressional control be
required to make full disclosure of their
genesis and operations, so It may be seen
how the amount of money originally paid
or the volume of assets at any time owned
compared with the value of all bonds
and stock issued. Mr. Knapp said he
ventured to doubt the soundness of the
argument that publicity would prevent
stock watering. He held it unproved that
the excessive Issue of corporate securities
w’as a source of such danger as to excite
public alarm, and said he was as yet to
be convinced that publicity forced would
be a harmful exercise of public authority.
He said in part:
“Leaving out the speculator and tak
ing into account only those seeking honest
Investment, ten times more money, to say
the least, has been sunk in form mort
gages, suburban lots, patent rights, buy
ing and selling grain, cotton and other
commodities, where no corporate shares
were dealt in, or even existed, than was
ever lost on account of fictitious or ex
cessive issue of cornorate securities. I
cannot but regard corporate publicity of
the kind, and to the extent advocated by
many, as a certain and serious hindrance
to effective competition. Just as the Sher
man anti-trust law, which is based upon
an economic fallacy, has Indirectly aided
the very results it was designed to pre
vent. so the compulsory disclosure of all
corporate transactions would undermine
the competition it was intended to sup
port. It seems plain to me that the en
forcement of corporate publicity would
be an added incentive to industrial com
bination. ,
“Therefore, as I view’ the matter, the
remedy in question would be worthless to
the great mass of people, the consumers,
for their troubles are not caused by wa
tered stock and will not be alleviated by
publicity. It will not benefit the actual
stockholder, for however much he may
need information for himself, his inter
ests would not be promoted by bringing
that information to public knowledge.
Against its doubtful and very limited
usefulness to the Intending purchaser of
corporate shares Is the danger, not to be
lightly estimated, of giving sanction to
a principle of extreme paternalism and
furnishing a fresh impulse, not to com
pete, but to consolidate.”

Is a row of no small proportions going

Carter, who has been preaching the
Zion faith for many years and has held
the charge In Selma two or three terms,

ence held three weeks ago In Selma the
appointment at Newberne. This change
is a small country one and not In keep

church In Selma. He therefore grew
mad, kicked completely over the dash
board and withdrew from the conference
and the faith, and Sunday night united
with the First Baptist church, colored,
and was duly baptized.

immersion, and said that he regretted
that he had not taken the step fifteen

made a tearful appeal to (he audience
and a collection was taken up which net
ted him something like ?a>.

Selma reached the city today and the
officers wanted Carter to give up at least
half of the parsonage to the new man.
Carter Insisted that his time was hot out
until next month and he proposed to -oc
cupy the parsonage until then. Force
was attempted to eject him and he se
cured his revolver and threatened to kill
the first one that entered his castle. The
officers went off for an officer and at
last accounts Carter had not been dis

ALABAMA GOLD STIRS MARKET.
Flurry Caused By Announcement That
We Can Produce the'Metal.
New York, December 30.—Something of
a flurry has been caused In Wall street,
says the World, by the formal announce

There was more of a flurry when it
was announced that none of the stock
was on sale. For more than two years
the land has been worked secretly. A
20-stamp mill was erected even without
the knowledge of the natives. Chance led
to the discovery of the vein of ore. A
company was formed and the stock was
bought up by New York, Philadelphia and
Washington capitalists before the news
became public.
The value of the ore has been averaging
$36 a ton for the past sixty days, and an
other 20-stamp mill is going up.
The mine is twenty miles from Annis
ton, Ala., and seventy miles from Bir
minham. The ledge of ore runs for a
mile and a half northeast and southwest.
The pay streak varies in width from two
to four feet.

OF HER MARRIAGE
DECLARES SHE WILL NOT PROSE

the newspaper report that her husband
claimed they were never married and that
she was an adventuress, but that the

until she received from the sheriff of
Shelbyville, Ind., in reply to her inquiry,
a letter stating that John F. Gleason
was in Waldon, Ind., visiting his wife
and children. She Immediately went to
that place, reaching there December 13.
She saw Mrs. Gleason No. 1 and the
grown sons and then swore out a warrant
against her husband. The trial was to
have come up on Monday and Mrs. Glea
son, deciding not to prosecute, left the
place Sn-turday, returning to Alabama.
She states that her husband is not in
Indiana, but in Brooklyn, and that she
hopes the piatter will be dropped, that
she never expects to live with him again,
but docs not want him prosecuted, nor
does the first wife or children desire him
prosecuted. Mr. Gleason, according to
the statement of Mrs. Gleason, has been
separated from the wife whom he mar
ried, twenty-five years ago, for sixteen
years, that she knew' him before wife
No. 2, whom he married in Topeka, Kas.,
died, w’hich was in 1891, in Birmingham,
and that he has never seen wife No. 1, to
her certain knowledge, during the years
that they have lived together.

he tells you this? It is because he buys
