WiII Hear Argumenta.

Chancellor Benners today fixed next Thursday as the time for hearing argu- ments for and against the petition filed by tho Southern Steel Company against a large number of plaintiffs in suits for damages filed as a consequence of the explosion in the Virginia mines nearly two years ago, in which acci- dent 112 men lost their lives.
 The company seeks to inquire into the responsibility of the defendant company in the premises, and at the same time bunch all the. cases. On both motions there is a strong resist ance, and the petition in the chaneery court promises to be fought with bit- terness. Strong legal talent has been employed on both sides. Four of the damage suits growing out of the ex- piosion were tried In the courts here. one .resulting in . decision for the de- fendant. two In favor of plaintiffs and one a mistrial. From two to four weeks time was taken up in the hear ing of each case, and 1t is figured out that If each case is te be stoutly re- sisted as were the first four, the mat ter would hang fire for many years The responsibility of the company is denied and for the purpose of striking at some way of fixing damages the pc. tition was instituted in the chancery Court

so support 1t that the tax rate would be reduced
 T believe that the operation of the law would have that effect" replied Judge Mitchell. T believe if taxes were equalized throughout the state.-if all property could De made to pay its just share of taxes, the tax rate could be reduced. am sure that any man would just as soon pay taxes on his property at it's full actual value. if the rate was cut 50 per cent. as to pay taxes on 50 per cent ot his actual property. Of course, cannot tell what the Legislature will do, but I feel sure that 1t will be in position to re. duce the tax rate"
 ''The Commission believes that if the law Is carried out, the Legislature can reduce the tax rate whether 1t does 1t or not" said Colonel JoneR
 Colonel Jones took up the question of assessment of mules in Bullock County. He found that the average owner of the average Bullock County mule was giving it In at $68, which was considered a pretty fair assess ment for mules as assessments go. He had other figure showing that Dallas County mules were assessed ct an average of $S9 and that Mobile Coun- ty mules were assessed at the highest quoted figures of Sso.
 In the informal discussion which fol- lowed the consideration of items and figures. Judge Mitchell said that tho Commission might be compelled to re- main in Montgomery for several weeks. It proposed to ago into the task of in- augurating the new franchise tax, gross income and intangible assets taxation laws. A great deal of work had to be done to successfully accom- plish the task and it was intlmated that the present plans of the Commission did not go beyond the indefinite stay of the Commission in Montgomery while engaged in this work. Judge Mitchell. fin speaking of this. took oc- casion to declare the position of the Commission toward corporations and corporation taxes,
 individual and corporations should be treated fairly and 1uctly," he said. Corporations should be treated as fairly as individuals and individuals as fairly as corporations, corporations should have every right assured them by law and the same right shuold be assured individuals''

Birmingham, March s0.-( Especially The announcement from Washington that Oscar r. Hundley would be ap- pointed Judge of the Federal Court for the North Alabama District. under the Clayton bilf enacted by the last Con- gress, caused much gossip among the Republicans and others in this section this afternoon and tonight.
 A large number of changes will fol- low the appointment of Mir. Hundley as Judge, among them being a new clerk. the office now filled by Charles J. Ali son. The appointment of q district at- torney. assistant district attorney, ref cree in bankruptcy and other officials being mentioned. Charles Ji Allison IS not follower of the referees in this State. and, therefore. 1t Is not believed that he will secure the position under Hundley. inasmuch as he was endorsed and worked for by the referees.
 As to who will be clerk of the court Is a matter of much conjecture. Hon. O. D. Street of Guntersville is slated for district attorney; N. L. Steele, now assistant district attorney, will be a referee In bankruptcy and other we'll krown Republicans viii get good posi- tions under the new Judge.

MAY EFFECT MANY FIRMS
COMPANIES NOT INCORPORATED
MUST FILE CERTIFICATES
WITH COUNTY CLERK.

It is altogether probable that but
merchants of Walla Walla who are
conducting a business under an as
sumed name are not familiar with a
certain law the provisions of which is
as follows:
IAN act providing that when any
business other than corporation is
conducted under an assumed name, a
certificate showing the real partners of
the firm shall be filed with the county
clerk
1T is plainly evident that either the
law is not plain or a number of Wal
la Walla merchants refuse to be gov
erned by it, said Deputy Williams
this morning. There are several Wal
la Walla firms conducting business un-
der assumed names. Surprising firm
was operating under the name of The
Plymouth Clothing company or New
York Dental Parlors,' such firms
would be liable for fraud providing
they are not incorporated, and they
attempt to secure credit"

has been established only a few OF
