JACKSON RETURNS
FROM TRIP To FAIR
Says People of ST. Louis Are
Interested in Vulcan
MONEY IS NEEDED BADLY
Still $4,000 Short of the Amount Re-
qured to Make Exhibit-Labor
High In ST. Louis--Need
of Haste.

President Fred NJ. jackson of the Com
mercial club returned to Birmingham yes
terday from st. Louis. where he had been
to sign contracts for erecting Vulcan
at the exposition and to look over the
general situation. When seen last night
he said:
MY trip was very successful. l COM
pleted all the arrangements for getting
Vulcan to the fair grounds, and also for
building the foundation and erecting the
statue
Il find that there is a great deal of en-
thusasm expressed in st. Louis over the
statue and also much curiosity as to its
size and appearance. In fact there is
almost as much interest there as in Biz
mingham.
Labor is very expensive in st. Louis,
and it will require every cent of $4,000
for us to get the statue completed an6
erected at the fair, as well as maintaining
1t after 1t is there. l have been pushing
the committees today to get out again and
raise money We will simply have TO
have additional money, which is not yet
subscribed, and the people of Birming-
ham may as well make up their minds to
go down in their pockets again and open
their purses. We are going to start the
committees out again this week, and 1t is
certainly hoped that the people will give
quickly and literally"
The second leg of Vulcan was put In
place yesterday at the foundry. and by
tomorrow night the piece above the knees
will probably be raised into place. Ex-
cellent progress was made yesterday on
getting the moulds and core of the head
and shoulders finished so that the casting
can be made the last of this week, or the
first of next week. When President
Jackson returned yesterday he urged the
people at the foundry to work as rapidly
as possible. He stated that the figure
would have to be at the exposition by the
goth of the month. and that 1t must be
shipped in a few days.
In the last two or three weeks there
has been only very small amount of
money contributed towards the Vulcan
fund. Yesterday Secretary Gibson stated
that he had received three more sub
scriptions, as follows:

PAID RESPECTS TO
Conner AND SMITH
Captain KoIb Spoke at Jefferson
Theatre Last Night
AUDIENCE OF ABOUT 1850
Captain Kolb, Candidate for Presidency
of the r. r. Commission, Declared
He Favored Equitable Adjust
ment of Rates.

In his speech last night at the JEFFERSON
theatre before an audience of about 100
people, Capt Reuben F. Kolb candidate
for the presidency of the railroad COM
mission declared that B. B, Conner one
of the other candidates, was losing votes
at the rate of 1000 a day and he attribut-
ed this to the facts contained in the old
adage "you can fool some of the people
all the time, and all the people some of
the time. but you cannot fool all the
people all the time" He said that Mr..
Conner has been fooling the people about
| what he could do, and that they are
waking up and realizing that he is speak
ing of mpossibilities.
In opening his speech last Capital Kolb
said: 1T wish to thank my friends for
their support in the campaign of 1892 and
1894, when I was elected, but counted out
by the friends of Judge Jones, and l also
solicit their votes for the primary on
next Monday, when expect to carry the
state"
Discuss Conner and Smith.
The speaker then placed Mr. Conner and
John V Smith on the witness stand, and
as he expressed it, made them testify
against each other He said that he did
not believe the people of Alabama would
vote to elect such a man as B. b. Conner
as president of a board He spoke of Mr..
Conner as radical in all his views, biased
and in every way unfit to adjust differ
ences between the people and the rail-
roads He likewive said: MIR. Smith Is
not fitted for the place. He has been in
office four years and has nothing to show
for his time He said that Smith was
candidate who was running for the
railroads, and therefore not fitted for the
position.
Captain Kolb then stated his platform,
which is:
IT favor equitable adjustment of freight
rates and on a parity with other states.
If elected l will go into office with no
prejudices or bitter feelings and with a
determination to do my duty to all classes
of our people,"
Favors Neither Side.
Capt. Kolb said he believed that the
people WOulu cast tnelT VOTES -OT Hliil, DIS
he favored neither side. He said that Mr..
Smith did not nave any chance to win, in
his estimation, and would not carry over
five counties.
In coluding his remarks he said:
Don't take Conner. He is not conser-
vative, and he thinks that he can take the
railroads by the neck and throttle them
into doing as he pleases He is a preju-
diced man and not cpable of filling the
position In any way.
MIR. Smith has not done anything In
four years, and he is asking your endorse
ment of his public career. You can't
afford to give it. He is also incompetent
to fill the position"
Capt. Kolb laughed at the idea that
Mr.. Conner could do the railroads any
way he desired. The rain last night kept
many people away from the theatre, and
he expressed regret, as he said he had
hoped to have large crowd present, as
ne was confident he could make many
votes for himself by merely stating his
views.
