EDwARDsvILLE OR HEFLINs
Contest for the County Seat of Gle
 burne.


 burne.
 Judge A. A. Hurst. of Edwardsvfffe. came to Montgomery yesterday and held a conference with Governor Jelks relative to the proposition of the lat ter's ordering an election in Cleburne County under an act of the last leg islature to determine whether the county seat shall be removed from the present location to Heflin.
 Judge Hurst Is defending Edwards vile as the logical county seat and will insist that it remamin so. He is op- posed by a large number of voters.
 Governor Jelks says that nothing new came of the conference yesterday and that he will not take any action until some ways are devised for de- termining which are qualified voters of the names presented on a petition recently presented to him for the ap- pointment of managers of the cleo tion.
 Some time ago Hon. Hugh D. Mer- Till, a lawyer of Anniston presented a petition to the Governor for the re- moval of the county seat to Heflin. It purported to be signed by a majority of the qualified voters of Cleburne County. in accordance with the law. The legality of the petition and the eligibility of it's signers were assailed by Judge Hurst and Governor Jelks i'm | formed the contestants that they must clear all doubt as to the signers of the petition.
 If is probable that one of the State Examiners of Public Accounts will be designated to take testimony touching inc eligibility of the signers of the pe- | t{tiOn.

THE PANAMA CANAL
BRIsT0w TO PREPARE REPORT
 FOR SECRETARY TAFT.
Special Commissioner Charged With investigation of Rates Asked by
 Line Returns from Exten- five Trfu.

Washington, April 11.--Joseph~ L. Bristow, the special commissioner charged by Secretary Taft with an investigation into the matter of rates
 on the Panama Railroad, who arrived in Washington last night, called upon
 the Secretary today to report his return from an extensive southern and western trip in pursuit of his inquiry.
 MT. Bristow will prepare report embodying the results of his work. The question of railroad rates is a diff flcult one to handle. It Is not the purpose to, make the road a money making proposition and providing 1t will pay expenses, while building up isthmian trade and aiding the work of canal construction, the road will be
 regarded as properly managed.
 Mir. Bristow informed the Secretary that the present high rates were not altogether to be charged to the Pana- ma Railroad. Heavy export duties and excessive wharfage charges at South some extent for them. The Chilean line of steamships also charged very high rates for transportation.
 Among the questions which MT. Bris- tow's report raises and which must be determined are the uses of the Panama road commercially, whether it shall be double track road, and the enlarge menC or terminal IdClilties IL iS probable that the road must be used commercially as we'll as for the con struction of the canal and the general belief is that 1t must be double tracked. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company informed Mir. Brfstow that there must be exclusive contracts for all Ameri- can shipping or 1t would withdraw its ships from the Panama trade.
 Mir Bristow also investigated the | sUs atf fn Mexico. This road has 19s miles con- structed, connecting the Pacific with | the Gulf of Mexico, but 1t vii take two years to construct harbor facilities on | the Pacific side. When this harbor Is completed it is expected the road will | be a rival of the Panama route. It Is | expected that the executive committee, | consisting of Chairman Shonts, Gov ernor Magoon and Chief Engineer Wal lace. will meet with Secretary Taft to- | morrow and consider the questions raised by MT. Bristow's preliminary re- | port as we'll as other features of the organization.
 | This will include the arrangement; 1 for the official force in Washington
 and Panama; the connection of the bu'
 reau of insular affairs with the canal
 work; the policy regarding the Panama
 railroad, the advisability of construct. ing a double track across the Isthmus and other administrative questions.
 MT. Bristow told the secretary that
 there was evidently combination be-
 tween the Pacific Mail Steamship Lin
 and the Chilean Line on the west coast
 also that the complaints of the min
 isters of the southern republics were
 no doubt inspired by British and Ger
 man shipping interests who failed t'
 get a share of the trade by reason
 of the arrangements of the Panama
 railroad with the combination on tn,
 western coast.
