ALABAMA WILL BE
 TAKEN CARE OF. Senator Pettus Making Effort for River Improvement-The
 Richardson Case

Age-Herald Bureau 5os 14th Street, N w, Washington, February 5.-(Special. 1.-The work on the rivers and harbors bill in the Senate commerce committee is progressing very slowly. Senator Pettus is making an earnest effort to secure an appropriation of $4O000O for improving the Tennessee river at Colbert Springs. Major Wills, post master at Nashville is seconding the effort to get the money for the Tennessee and has called attention to the fact that Sen- ator Foraker had urged a similar appro- priation in the previous Congress, and that Senator Frye, chairman of the commerce committee, promised during the debate on the amendment that 'it will be taken care of in the rivers and harbors bill at the next session of Congress-
 The present purpose is to secure the keep ing of that promise.
 The speaker has approved the decision of the majority of the judiciary committee in the matter of the salary of Representative Richardson of Alabama, and the Alabamian today drew the salary due him under that decesion, the first pay he has drawn since he entered the House. In this connection it Is only fair to Judge Richardson to quote a letter he wrote to the chairman of the judiciary committee on January g, which states his position the salary question. Judgo Richardson said: Through MT. Clayton I am advised of the kindness of your committee in inviting me to appear and make an argument in the matter of my compensation as represeta- tive. For this courtesy I am very grateful but I cannot consent to enter into dis cussion of this question, for consider that would be unbecoming on my part. told the speaker in the beginning that I raised no question as to my compensation, and that his decision as to what the law and the precedent entitled me to, whatever it might be, would be entirely satisfactory, and would be so accepted by me. The speaker, without having been suggested by me, now seeks the opinion of your commit tee. I therefore say again that whatever decision is reached by the speaker or your committee will be acceptable to me and entirely satisfactory"
