J. P. BULLOCK IS DEAD
HE WAS 4 PROMINENT RETAIL
 SHOE MERCHANT.
Native of Montgom and of Wide Acquaintance, His Unexpected Demise Caused Great sorrow
 In City.

Swift sorrow was sent to the hearts of Montgomery people yesterday af- ternoon when 1t became known down town that James P Bullock, President of the Bullock Shoe Company of Dex- ter avenue, and one of the city's most popular young men was dead.
 About the crowded polling places for yesterday was election day in Montgomery-the shocking message was passed in whispered words Jim Bullock is dead" There were blanched faces, hushed voices and expressions of deep sorrow. In these crowds were strong and devoted friends of Mir. Bull lock who did not know that he was i'll. To these minds there flashed a picture of a smiling face. a warm hand clasp, a word of sympathy-the kindly nature of MT. Bullock who by right counted every acquaintance his friend.
 The death of MT. Bullock was sud- den. He was Ill eight days. At II o'clock Saturday morning he was re- moved from his apartments at the re3- idence of Mrs. Rice, SOP South Perry street to St. Margaret's Hospital There all that medical skill could &C., complish was done but the young man passed from this life a few minutes be- fore l o'clock yesterday afternoon. Having lived all the years of his life in Montgomery and being of innate geniality, 1t was natural that MT. Bull lock should have been one of the pop ular figures of the community. He | loved his fellows and his life was one of sunshine He drew men to him by his honesty and his sincerity. His life was blameless and his death leaves a void that to countless hundreds will not be filled.
 MT. Bullock was born in Montgom- cry forty-two years ago. He was a son of the late John Bullock, many years a well known and greatly es- teemd planter of this county. His edu- cation was secured in the city schools of Montgomery and he began his bus mess career twenty years ago. Being a young man of definite purposes he selected the retail shoe business to which he devoted his talents until his death in which he was mark edly suc- cessful.
 His first position was as a salesman for C. Ham. who at that time conduct ed a retail shore store on Dexter Ave

called to a request of Sincere and Com
 pany. contractors on the Salt River project who desire to be advised
 whether they can obtain the benent or concessions on some shipments to be
 made by them.
 l. These contractors made their plds before any concessions had been ar ranged with the Southern Pacihc Company so that their bids do not pro vide for any benefit to the United States. and accordingly this office has decided that the contractor is not enti- tied to such benefits"
 The communication goes on to state
 that the railroad company, however, IS willing to make the concession to help on the work as much as possible in case the benefits of the concessions of rates on these shipments may be taken by the government and credited to the project.
 The comptroller In the course of his reply says
 If I may be permitted to express an opinion as to the legality of such tram sections when considered in relation to sections ? and 22 of the interstate commerce acts of February 4, 1887, and I1SS9, I would say that it is extremely doubtful if either can be maintained.

 flee Building.

New York, AprII 4V.-( (Special )-AI 2:JO o'clock this afternoon d well dressed and apparently robust man dropped dead in the corridor of the 1uuitable Life Building at 120 Broad way.
 The great office building was crowded with business men at the time, and the body was quickly surrounded by an excited throng who at first failed to understand the real cause of the com motion and pushed and crowded each other in their eagerness to learn what the trouble was. physician con nected with the Equitable Life was hastily summoned, who announced that the man had died of heart failure.
 Letters in his pockets identified him as Augustus UhIfelder. Manager of the Equitable Life Assurance agency at Montgomery Alabama.
 MT. Uhlfelder was walking toward the office of the Western Union Tele- graph Company in the Equitable Build ing. probably with the intention of sending a telegram when the fatal at tack came He threw up his hands and fell heavily to the floor of the corridor just In front of the telegraph office. He expired without uttering g word and before any aid could reach him.
 The body was quickly carried to the rear of the first floor and was cov- cred with a big white cloth. pending the arrival of the coroner On the ar rival of that official and following an examination. a permit was given and the body was removed to the undertak- ing establishment of the stephen Mer- rit Burial Company. A message was immediately sent to the family of the unfortunate man, and the body will be held pending advices from Montgom- cry.
 Mir. Uhlfelder was on his semi-an- nual visit to the head office of the Equitable Life here. and he was about to return to his home. having complet- ed his business.

able investment for every man, MT. Uhlfelder carried large policies aggre- gating about $60,000 on his life IS an- nuities for his family.
 He is survived by wife and two children, Bessie Uhlfelder and Lean Uhlfelder two brothers, Bernard Chl- fielder of Montgomery and Henry Chl- fielder of Denver, and three sisters Mrs A. Unger and Mrs. PolischecK of Chicago and Miss Kate Uhlfelder of Montgomery.
 Besides the members of his intimate family, Mir. Uhlfelder Is connected closely with several prominent famiiies of the city.
 The body of Mir. Uhlfelder will reach Montgomery tomorrow morning. The funeral arrangements have not been made
 Tn business circles of Montgomery and in it's social life MT. Uhlfelder will be missed. His great popularity was shown yesterday afternoon when there was a stream of visitors to the Chl- fielder residence on Holcombe Street to express their deep sorrow at his sud- den death and to convey condolence to the bereaved widow.
 Mir. Chlfelder went to New York last Tuesday on a hurried business trip, it being his custom to visit the metrop- oils several times a year to discuss af- fairs of his company with it's officials.
 His friend and relative, Alderman Nathan Lobman. who returned from New York Sunday night. saw Mir. Uhl- fielder there. Mir Lobman said yester- day that MT. Uhlfelder was in fine health and spirits and expected to leave for Montgomery yesterday after noon.
 The tragic death of Mir. Uhlfelder In the building of the company he repre- sented with so much success was great shock to MT. Lobman, as 1t was to a large number of Montgomery peo- ple and others throughout the State.

tractor in making delivery to the gov ernment But granting such rights exist when covered by contract anu such rebate taken into consideration when the contract is made, by what stretch of authority can the govern ment step in where the contract be- tween 1t and the contractor has been entered into and the amount to be paid
 for the work, or for the work and ma
 terials is fixed and liquidated, ana re- ceive or take from the price because or railroad rate is beyond my compre- hension.
 "The Government above all others | should not be a party to violation of either the letter or spirit of the comerce act as regards the question of rebates. It should not engage in ques- tionable transactions in order that saving of a few dollars may be had especially when this saving results Tn tearing down a law which experience proves very difficult, If not absolutely | impossible to enforce"
 The Interior Department replied to this letter insisting on the legality Of their proposed action and stating that
 the rebates in question probably would amount to a million dollars in the next seven years In the course of his re- sponse to this letter the Controller | says that the amount of these rebates | being large, Is a cogent reason why the Government should make no mis-
 take by being a party or beneficiary
 of the violation of the law prohibiting
 the giving of discriminating rebates. He then says:
 'The carriage, storing or handling
 of property free or at reduced rates IS
 not allowable under eSction 22 or the amended Interstate Commerce act. | What constitute the carriage or property of the United States? Moth
 ing short of carrying property under
 contract with the United States for
 Its carriage in any event. in my judg- ment, can be considered as a carrying | of property for the United States. There must be a mutuality in the contract of carriage, a right of action ' by the carrier against the United States l or vice versa, in case of breach or the contract of carriage-certainly nothing short of this can constitute a
 carriage of property by railroad for 1 the United States.
 For the above reasons and many
 others which might be urged, 1T you will pardon the suggestion, l advise | that before you take rebates from rail roads on the carriage of property be- | longing to the Government contractors | shipped by them and paid by, them at
 the regular rates, that you lay all the facts before the Attorney General and | pursue his opinion as to the legality
 of such transaction. Let me repeat attach no special significance to the willingness of the railroads to grant the rebates in question.

Successful Banks
Pay Interest

1t will be interesting to some to
know that the most successful banks
in the whole United States are the
banks that pay interest on deposits, and
that this community is one of the very
few spots on the globe where the banks
do not pay interest on deposits. Such
banks as as the Farmers Bank, OF
Nansemond, Suffolk, Va, which after
paying dividend of 25 per cent to its
stockholders annually has made four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on
capital of $4,000, and many other
banks which have made phenomenal
success are the banks that pay inter-
est on deposits.
In many Of the towns where the
banks pay interest on deposits the rate
of discount is lower than it is in this
community. We think depositor is
entitled to interest on his deposit and
the many years experience of the Off
GERS of our bank, in other banks, has
taught us that we can well afford to pay
our depositors interest.
Careful attention given to all branch
es of banking, and three per cent inter-
est paid on all sums deposited in our
savings department.
