selves as being delighted with the plant

THE wise and systematic conduct of Man
ager II. A. McCord.
The plant is having phenomenal run
and everything is running more smoothly

duct than formerly. when only eight or
ten cars per day was the output. The
company mas orders on its books agEre-
eating 400 cars, to be made and delivered
as rapidly as possible 1t will take a
year of uninterrupted work to complete
the orders already booked. What an i'm
mense amount of money the railroads
of the country must send into Admission
to pay for the labor and material which
will enter into the construction of these
cars; with the product of the rolling mill
and foundry departments of the great
plant, which do not enter into the actual
construction of cars but are sold for
other structural work. this expenditure
will aggregate almost S4,000,000.

MEETS AT CLANTON
Representatives From Forty-two coun-
ties of Alabama Are Present
at the Sessions.

| Clanton, March S.-(SpeciaL) 1.-The Ala
bama State Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America was in ses-
sion here yesterday. with a representa-
| tive from forty-eight counties.
| The large court room on the second floor
of Clanton's handsome court house was
fairly well filled with a representative
body of intelligent farmers, together with
a good sprinlxling of ladies' who braved
the drizzllng rain in order to lend their
presence and contribute their bright smiles
to the pleasures of the enthusiastic
gathering. State President |. A. Morley
called the meeting to order and intro
duceu the Mayor. who. on behalf of the
city, delivered the address OF welcome
TO the visitors, which was received with
much applause.
The other speakers were Probate Judge
J. l.. Reynolds, State Lecturer Il. e. Pine
gar. j. II. Thomas, president of Chiffon
County union, and Henry T. Nahum of
Walker county.
Representative Farmers union men are
present from other states. among them
r. L. Duckworth, secretary and treas
urer of the state of Georgia; Newt Ores
ham of Paint. Tex, who is the founder
of the union and is now national organ
izer.
At o'clock the union went into execu-
tive session. which, of course, shuts out
the uninitiated.
Each train coming in to the station
brings fresh arrivals to still further swell
the already large crowd of farmers now
here. making 1t very difficult to find a
lodging place.
The executive committee examined the
books of Secretary and Treasurer f. +.
Cook and found them in excellent shape.
with a surplus in the treasury, all OF
which speaks well for the management
of the state union officials.
The state union eontemplates being in
session the balance of the week.

STATEHOOD DEBATE
IS FINALLY ENDED
Speaking on the Measure Started Early
In the Senate and Continued
Throughout the Day.

Washington, March S.-Today afforded
the last opportunity for general debate
in the Senate on the statehood bill. and
the entire time of the session was devoted
to that order of business.
Starting with speech by Mr.. McCum-
Der which began a few minutes after
Il o'clock. there was no cessation in
the speaking until the adjournment late
in the evening. The whole time was oc-
cupied by three senators. Mr.. Beverage
supporting the bill, and Messrs. McCum-
Der and Patterson opposing II. The In
diana senator contended that while Ari-
iona and New Mexico were unprepared
for separate statehood, it was unjust to
keep them out of the union as one state.
He took positive ground against the Fora
ker amendment which allows each ter
ritory to vote separately on the question
of jointure. Mr. McCumber opposed the
joining of even Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory and Mr.. Patterson held that Ari-
iona and New Mexico should be admit

MANY SENATORS ARE
GREATLY CONFUSED
Railroad Rate Bill Holds Center
of Stage
is NOW QUESTION0F WORDS
Senator Aldrich Is Called to New York
Because of illness of His Daughter,
Mrs. John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr.

Washington, March S.-Regardless Of
the fact that the statehood bill was the
only question discussed in the Senate
today, the House railroad rate bill con-
tinued as an absorbing topic, and groups
of senators met IN earnest but informal
consideration of the many propositions
that have been suggested IN the way
of amendment. Without doubt no bill has
been before Congress in years that has
been given so much attention when the
issue between the opposing factions has
been one that could be settled through
the use of so few words.
The question is the choice of the words
judicial Review Is the Issue.
Judicial review of orders of the inter-
state commerce commission has from
the first been the only real issue be-
tween the opposing factions. One fac
ton, that supporting the bill In its present
form, declares that 1t mas no objection
to railroads having their day In court.
and It has made the assertion that this
is provided by the present bill The other
positive faction contends that 1t wants the
same thing but that the bill should pro-
vide for this in specific terms. There
are other factions which have adopted
such as the Spooner plan for impounding
the difference between the commissions
and the railroads. rates pending a de-
termination of the equity of the former
and the senators advocating the Bailey
proposition declaring for a full review
by the courts. but limiting the power
of the circuit courts to enjoin the or
ders of the commission.
Many Senators Are Confused.
There are many senators who admit
frankly that they are not experts on the
subject of railroad rates, and that they
have been confused by the various plans
that have been submitted. These senator's
say that they will have to await the
debate on the bill before they can feel
certain of their position. On this account
an accurate poll of the Senate cannot be
made Supporters of a judicial review
amendment have been more sanguine in
their expressions concerning the stua-
ton since the speech made by Senator
| Bailey yesterday. On the other hand the
friends of the House bin seem to be en-
eouraged by the same speech.
Several senators Will answer Senator
| Baileys speech. Among these is Senator
Nelson He takes the position that SEN
ator Bailey has brought forward a plan
that is not In harmony with the consti-
tuition.
Democratic senator's are disposed not
TO enter into general discussion of
the rate bill until Senator Bailey's prop
osition has been presented He was called
to Mississippi today by the serious ILL
| ness of his father.
Senator Aldrch the leader of the re-
| publican senator's. who are seeking to
amend the bill is in New York. called

Municipal Ownership.
Selma is becoming aroused to no little
extent over the matter of municipal own
ership of the water company's plant. Up
to now there has been not great deal of
interest eyinced, there being a general
aequiescence In the efforts of this City
Council to purchase the present plant An
election has been ordered for April 2 to
pass upon the issuance OF $4,000 worth
of bonds with which to purchase the
present plant or erect new plant. and
the people generally are beginning to sit
up and notice, and questions are being
asked through the columns of the local
papers.
An expert engineer has made report
to the City Council as to the value of the
present plant, and there has been d
clamor for the report to be made public.
Tho committee OF the council states that
the report will be given out in time. but
asks that the people be patient and not
