BOARD OF REVENUE
 TOOK HALF DAY OFF
Several of the Important Cases WHi be Settled by ComprUmise-An Inter-
 esting Legal Qestion Raised.

The Board of Revenue transacted little business yesterday.
 The case of Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb, one of the most important before the Board, was postponed and will be taken up and finally passed upon during the coming week.
 Commissioner Wetmore is eXerting him. self to get many of the cases compromised, and several of the important ones will prob ably be settled in this way. In the mean time MT. Wetmore is not letting pastures come up beneath his feet and keeps close behind the taxpayer who comes a few points shy in estimating his exact worth.
 An important question has been brought before the present board concerning it's powers to compel the attendance of wit nesses and the right to examine their books and papers in open court Until this question has been definitely decided the Board may meet with considerable trouble in making thorough investigations.
 When Captain Ward was a member of the Board he held that the body had no right to either summons witnesses or com pei them to bring their books into court In other words that the Board had no au- thority to issue subpoena duces tecum, which is done in civil courts when books or papers are necessary to establish certain facts
 On the other hand, MT. Beddow claims that the Board of Revenue, being a lawful body, has the same rights as any other court or tribunal to issue orders, and that a disobedence of its mandates is liable to lawful punishment
 old o,J N1,a1I Top ptai,, ror1'c opinion and decided that witnesses could not be issued to appear before the body, while the new board has decided to the contrary.
 No concern has yet made test of the question, and until this is done the matter will remain in stau quo.
 According to Captain Ward the Board of Revenue is a body created by the statutes and is without statutory power to issue subpoenas, or rather to force attendance, and he has frequently challenged the at torneys of contrary views to cite any sec tion in the statutes authorizing such pro- ceedure. He holds, however, that after witnesses are brought before the body the members have right to propound any lawful questions to them to punish any action of contempt while the witness is before the board.
 It is understood that MT Beddow, on the other hand, claims that it is a legally au- thorized body-a court of revison-and has the same powers and authority other courts; that it is dignified body and that unless it's orders are obeyed the body must be powerless to thoroughly conduct investi gations.
 As yet few witnesses have refused to ap- pear before the board when summoned and as yet no hitch has occurred by the diff ference of opinion to law. If it should be finally decided that the board had no authority to force witnesses to appear in court with their books and papers or issue attachments in case of failure so to do, many of the Investigations would probably be at an end.

THE ENCAMPMENT NOW A CERTAINTY BirminghamStands Good Chance for at Least One
 Regiment.

The commanding officers of the Alabama National Guard have not yet chosen the site of the annual encampment Now that the authorities in Washington have decided to give the State the necessary equipment for the National Guard, thereby making the encampment a certainty, interest in the location of the camp is doubled.
 .s.The Alabama National Guard will cer- tainly have an encampment some time this summer, but the commanding officers have not yet decided on it's location," said Col onel Tom O. Smith O. the Third regiment yesterday.
 ''The officials in Washington have notified Adjutant General Brandon that the much needed equipment will be forthcoming Of course, now that we are sure of getting the equipment, there is no longer any obstacles in the way, and the encampment will be held as soon as the tents, etc., arrive. The Third regiments share of the property will be shipped to Birmingham, but this is no reason for believing that the encampment will be held here any more than in Mobile or Montgomery.
 "Of course, Birmingham has as much chance of getting the encampment as any of the other cities, but the mere fact that a large quantity of military supplies is be- ing sent here proves nothing.
 'The equipment consists of tents, leg gins, hats, trousers, etc., and will be ship ped at once. Of course, there is no neces- sity for the committee which was appoint ed in Montgomery last Tuesday going to Washington"
 The First regiment is composed of the companies in the Southern counties of the State, with Mobile as headquarters the Second in the central counties with Mont gomery as headquarters, and the Third in the Northern counties with headquarters at Birmingham.
