LEWIS SALENS RELIEVED TO HAVE
 BEEN MURDERED.
Prominent Citizen of Belmont fs Miss ing, and 1t is Believed that He Met With Foul
 pEav

Demopolis, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaL )-Yes. terday morning news reached Demopo. lis of the disappearance and supposed drowning of Lewis Salens, a prominent citizen of Belmont, twelve miles north. west of this city. The news was brought here by his son and others who came here to secure the aid of the police to recover the body and also to discover whether the death was inten- tional. accidental or murder So far the only evidence Is the discovery, in loose skin. of hat and walking stick which were identified as the property of the deceased. It is also learned that the negro ferryman here saw q body floating down the river. and that one leg was raised in the air. As Mir. SaIens had a cork leg, this Is good evidence that 1t was his body. MT. Salens was about 70 years of age and was known all over this part of the State. The general belief is he was murdered, as he had no trouble, so far as Is known, which would cause him to take his own life, and it Is hardly believed possible to have been accidental

 Tuscaloosa, Feb. 6.--(SpeciaL )--Hon Frank S. Moody chairman Of the Demo. cratic Executive Committee in the sixth Congressional District, has re- ceived the following:
 Dear Sir:
 Referring to your letter on January 14th, announcing your purpose of call ing d meeting of the District Executive Committee at an early date,I hereby respectfully request that you lay be- fore the committee my requests and remarks as follows:
 l. That the date for tho coming be fixed for August 27th, the date of the State Primary.
 2 This date would avoid the extra expenses and inconven. nee to the voters that would be entailed by a special primary it would allow the in the election; it would come at a time when the farmers are not busy and would realize all the other advantages sought by the State Exc cutive Committee.
 g. This date would enable me as d candidate to register and qualify am not registered now because of absence at the post of duty cam paigning in the doubtful states prior to tine last National Election.
 | This date would enable my op- ponent, the Hon. J. Fl. Bankhead to re main at his post of duty in Washing ton during the session of Congress, and would enable me to prosecute my lectures by which make my living and disseminate my ideas among the people at large.
 j. If. in spite of the above request and above considerations, the com mittee still decides to call q special primary, I would earnestly request that the date be not fixed before May 18th. Under existing circumstances an earlier date would work a hardship and an injustice to me
 Very respectfully.

 Mobile. Feb. 6.
 Will the investigation of the special committee of the General Council into alleged breaches of contract by paving contractors, entered into by and be- tween the Board of Public Works and the contractors, amount to anything ?' IS the question agitatod since the pre- liminary meeting of the special com mittee last night.
 The committee met last night and named the examining civil engineer and auditor of the books of the Board of Public Works. At the time the Gen erai Council passed the Michael reso- luton authorizing the investigation 1t was expressly understood there would be no appropriation from that body for the expense to be incurred. A member or the committee was this morning asked the direct question: Who will pear the expense of the investigation ?' The answer, an evasive one, was to erect that property owners in the paved district would shoulder the burden.
 investigation has brought out the fact that the Board of Public Works, while a coordinate branch of the city government. securing funds for im- provements in the city, is a power unto itself in the disbursement of funds placed in it's hands. This fund.- accord ing to the charter provision creating the Board. by special enactment, is to be disbursed to the best interests of the city, in accordance with the wisdom of the disbursers.
 The fact that the board has express cd a willingness to have It's books ex- amined Is accepted by many that the members have nothing to fear
