HIGDON TALKS OF
 THE ENCAMPMENT Owing to the Heavy Cost the Brigade Cannot be Brought
 Together

There is little chance for brigade en- campment of the Alabama National Guard this year.
 Colonel Higdon, who went to Moatgom- cry to confer with the Governor, has re- turned, and says that owing to the great cost of transporting troops inert is little likelihood of an entire brigade being brought together.
 The Governor was absent and Colonel Higdon had lengthy conference witt Adjutant General Brandon concerning the proposed eneampment and the result of this conference practically nullifed the movement.
 It is estimated that the cost of trans portation to Huntsville would be $10,000, to Birmingham, $SOo0 and to Mobile. 5000 This cost alone would prevent the move ment.
 Governor Stanford will return to Mont gomery in a few days and will invite the field officers from all regiments to meet him and discuss the question. Colonel Higdon stated yesterday that he is in favor of the First Regiment going to Mobile and one of the other regiments coming to Birmingham. The railroad as- sert their willingness to do what is req sonable in the way of transportation rates. ess-

 PLANT ENLARGED
The Work Will be Completed Within the Next Few
 Months

The completion of the work on the en- largement of the plant of the Semet- Solvay Company at Ensley will be made within the next two and one-haif months The announcement of this statement was made by Manager Sherman yesterday when talking of the progress being mad by the workmen.
 The present plant of the company has 12O SemetSolvay bi-product coke ovens When the addition is completed the ca pacity will be doubled, as 120 new ovens are being placed by the company. The plant was first erected with the object of enlargement in view, and the work which has been in progress for several months is simply the carrying out of those plans
 mines and converts 1t into coke, after wards returning it into bins of the furnac, stock-house of the Tennessee Compan, before 1t has materially cooled from red heat. In addition to the coke handled the plant delivers to the steel works of the Tennessee Company over a million cubic feet of coke-oven gas daily. This gas is equivalent of that amount of na- tural gas and of the greatest value to the company
 The work on the plant has been in pro- gress since last August, but will be en- tirely completed before the last of Au- gust of this year.

UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES
 WILL MEET TODAY AND
 MAY SETTLE LAND CASE

"A meeting of the trustees will be held this morning. but just what action, if any, will be taken 1t is impossible for me to say It is my intention to be present at the meeting. and I have been told the counsel of the defendants of the case will also attend. l am not aware of the terms of settlement offered, if any has been offered; and can only wait until action Is taken by the trustees"
 President Hopkins, through his assist ant, Mir. Lewis, would make no state ment further than to say the company could not definitely say there would be a settlement of the case. He was not ac- quainted with the steps to be taken in the suit, as the case was entirely in the hands of the company's attorneys.
 It is stated that the terms upon which a settlement may be affected at the meet ing today will be the return by the trus- tees of the s56,0OO paid by the Sloss-Shef- field Company for the lands. and tho trading of certain lands so as to body ur the holdings of each.
 In case a settlement Is made the suit will be withdrawn. If not the hearing Of the new demurrer will take place or June 6.

FRANK DUNCAN
 ENTERS A PROTEST
Says It's Unfair to Place His Name on KirkIey-Adams
 Monument

Frank Duncan who is under sentence of life Imprisonment for the murder of Policeman Kirlsley, has heard of his name being inscribed on the monument erected over the graves of the two officers and raises a vigorous protest.
 For the first time he gives out public statement, and says 1t Is unfair to place his name on the tombstone which marks the spot where man lies in death by the hand of another.
 Duncan says he Is innocent of the mur- der. and If given the opportunity would prove it.
 As he will have to face another trial and as his life is in danger, Duncan has decided to make a more vigorous defense and haf an attorney at work getting up evidence for him now.
 He says the inscription on the Kirlxley- Adams monument Is an injustice to the dead and a disgrace to the ones respon- s.ble for it. Duncan says he still has hopes of clearing himself and having the marble letters erased.

 T paid 10 cents for enough water to wash my face,'' said T. G.. Hudson, a one-armed veteran from Chester, s. C., ''and they wanted to charge me g for a cot. without a pillow, to sleep on.

 As the veterans continued their con versation several persons gathered around them and one man offered the in- formation that he knew of two or three sponsors who were paying as high as $20 and s25 for room.
 q believe every word of it." said the one-armed veteran from Chester, 'and I told that hotel keeper last night that if he would come to Chester we would show him some sure enough hospitality and we wouldn't bring him there to rob

 The old warriors waxed warm as the conversation continued and all of them expressed the desire that some news paper would print the exact facts about the matter, as they wanted the Southern people to know how they had been treated.
 Another side of the case was told by an old gentleman of this city who had returned from Memphis. He said that Memphis had ''bit off more than she could chew" and that the city was una ble to accommodate the crowds. The veteran, who refused to give his name, explained that the streets were not suf- ficient to hold the enormous crowd of visitors and 1t was case of first come first served"
