The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, Feb. 2l.-(Special )-The mass meeting called under the. auspices of the Birmingham Pastors Union this morning at the First Methodist Church in this city, was largely attended and much interest was taken, the proposed law to legalize pool selling on races being the matter under discussion. There is great opposition to the bill, Two mass meetings will be held in Birmingham next week for the purpose of arousing senti- ment against the proposed bill, the first to be held Monday night at the Southside Baptist Church and the second will be held Tuesday night at the First Methodist Church. At the meeting of pastors and citizens this morning. the following re- port of the committe which went to Mont- gomery to fight the bill, was adopted:
 me committee recommends that this meeting take steps to express it's disap- proval of and opposition to the pending plll In the Legislature to legalize the sell Ing of pools on races, and recommends that this meeting call a public meeting for that purpose.
 The meeting was a decidedly spirited gathering, there being considerable dii- ference of opinion to the method of proceeding. but the determination to fight the Dill was no less pronounced than when the matter was first taken up. Rev. Frank Barnett, editor of The Alabama Baptist made a strong speech before the meeting today The preachers were ad- vised to preach against the evils of gambling. Efforts were made to get the churches to take up the matter tomorrow night, but there was some opposition and 1t was finally decided to give over Mon day night and Tuesday night to the cause.
 Local politics are being affected by the discussion against the pool selling bill, efforts being made to inject the same into the campaign of the candidates for chief of police.

 The other speakers were Messrs. Thay- CT (Mass), Loverin tMass), Lewis (Ga), and Prince Qlls). The general conviction that the bill has no chance to become a law and the fact that there are divergent views on both sides of the IIoI SC, detracted from the interest in the detate.
 A communication from the President transmitting a request of the anthracite strike commission asking for authority to publish 5000 copies of its report when completed, was laid before the House The message of the President, said he concur ed in the request.

governor w. D. Jelks. was in Birming- Sam this morning and he expressed the pe.ief that the general revenue bill would pass before the legislature took a recess. He also expressed the belief that the compromise railroad commission bill would get through the Senate by that time and he will sign it if 1t does. The Governor came up from Montgomery last night to confer with his brother, Robert Jelks. on a business matter He returned today Although the Governor is known to be in favor of giving the railroad commission more power he would not go into discussion of this question, further than to say that he believed the compro- mise railroad commission bill would pass both houses before the recess and he would sign 1t immediately. Asked when he would name the new men for the ap- pontive commission Governor Jelks re- piled that it would be next week. He would not intimate who Is likely to be appointed.

 Wellman Answers Rowland.
 Hon. w. I. wellman, Chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee gave out an interview today, In which he replies to the statements made by E. c. Rowland of New York, who recently en- tered into discussion of the Alabama situation. and whose sentiments were said to represent the views entertained by the administration.
 MT. Wellman denies the charge made by MT. Rowland that he is in open an tagonism to the policy of the admins tration or Is trying to appeal to race prejudice in Alabama. He declares that the Republican party of Alabama was placed by the law of Alabama in a po- sition where 1t could not legally admit anybody but registered voters to its pri- maries and conventions He says that there was nothing for the Republicans to do after the Democrats had disfranchised the negroes but to gather together those Republicans who had not been disfran- chised and attempt to build up practi- cally new party in the State, and this is what was done.
 MT Wellman says that MT. Rowland appears to have let his ina agination get the better of facts when he says that he, Mir. Wellman, makes any appeal to race prejudice. He calls attention to the fact that when the vote :'ame on the question Of disfranchising the negro those coun- ties which had the largest population cast the biggest vote in favor of the proposition, and also points out that the negroes voted the Democratic ticket in the last election. thus creating the im- pression that the negroes wanted to run with the fox and hunt with the hounds. !"
 Mir. Wellman also denies that he has refused to call meeting of the commit tee and he says that the resolution which the referees want the committee to adopt is already the policy of most of the Re- publicans of the State and a meeting for that purpose is entirely unnecessary. The movement, he says, Is simply a wedge to try to get control of the committed
 MT. Wellman says that the negro has been tried thoroughly and in politics he Is lamentable failure and that his fu- ture depends on his own labors.
