.FULGHUM REFUTES
CHARGE OF BRIBERY
Says Step Was Taken for PoIIt-
icaI Purposes
DESIRES NO CONTROVERSY
Makes Public Statement on Matter
in Justice to Himself and
FrIends-Goes Into the
Case Fully.
DESIRES NO CONTROVERSY

Alderman F. A. Fulghum of the Sixth
ward yesterday emphatieally eontradicted
and pronounced as false the charges
made before the recent grand jury that
he was guilty of bribery Mr.. Fulghum
states that In his opinion the charge was
made In an effort to discredit the work
of the Ward administration.
The recent grand jury returned an in
dctment against Mr.. Fulghum, charging
bribery, and when he was notified of the
fact by the sherlffs office, and that there
was a warrant for his arrest, he immedi-
ately presented himself and made bond.
Based on One Mans Testimony.
Alderman Fulghum said yesterday he
had not read the Indictment. but that
he understood 1t was based upon the evil
dence of a bartender who stated that
Henry Eggler, a saloonkeeper had paid
him Qulghum) a certain sum of money
monthly for allowing a house of ill-repute
to do business in the Sixth ward The
house was closed up the beginning of this
year by order of the Mayor
Alderman Fulghum said in reference to
the Indictment which had been found
against him by the grand jury that when
the matter was slfted down to the bottom
1t would be found to be all for political
purposes.
IAN investigation by the grand jury"
said Mr.. Fulghum, lis an ex parte pro-
ceeding; the grand jury hears only one
side of the case and 1t is in the power
Of any man to go before the grand jury
and swear to a statement of facts which
will lead to anothers Indictment. and of
course when he is indicted a warrant will
be issued for his arrest
No Desire for Controversy.
Now I desire most emphatically to
contradict any charges of bribery which
may be made against me- hope my char
acter in this community will serve to
make my words as credible as those of
the men who make those charges against
me. I have no desire to enter into any
controversy with these persons, but have
no hesitation in saying that the whole
thing is done out OF spite for some sup
posed injury / have done to Eggler.
am sorry the newspapers have given so
much publicity to matter that only
serves to advertise one man and to bring
opprobrium on another. My conduct as Il
citizen and as an alderman is open to
investigation but / do not like to be
called upon to defend myself against such
attacks as this. especially when they come
from such quarters.
81 would much prefer letting the mat
ter go unnoticed, but my friends are en-
titled to have my refuthtion, lest it should
annear that / Acknowledged the truth OF
the charges"

Not Interested In Growing.

1.-The dealers in the cotton exchange
are not interested in the growing of cot
ton, only in the speculative side and
in the price to some extent. The farmers
and business men of the south are just
realizing the Importance of this matter
and what it means to them.
AT this time last year the transactions
on the exchange amounted to from 100000
to 100000 bales daily, and now the trans
actions are not over 100000 daily, an in
dieation of the effect that the fight on the
exchange is having.
1--WE will get an American classical
ton, which will be valuable, and a uni
form price. At present there are two
market centers, New York and New Or
leans. The New York price rs generally
about s. per bale lower than New Or
leans and $40 lower than Liverpool. They
have different prices for the various
grades of cotton in New York and New
Orleans, which is injurious in itself.
VIII Pass Bucketshop Bill.
1.-The legislature will pass the bucket
shop bill 1t has already been passed
by the Senate and 1 believe that the
House will pass it with very little oppo-
sitlon. This will knock out all the bucket
shops and exchanges in the state. but
will not interfere with legitimate buying
and selling of cotton. A dealer may have
his private wire for buying cotton or
selling cotton, but 1t will be illegal to
traffic in futures. The cotton manufact-
urer may have his private wire and buy
his cotton any where he desires"

RAILROAD WORLD.

The new line that the Frisco and Illi-
nois Central will build from Birmingham
to Jasper will open considerable new
property for development purposes.
As a rule this property, wherever it
lies in the coal regions, is owned by the
large corporations, either the furnace
companies or the large coal companies
which have large tracts of coal lands
west of Birmingham.
Ii is stated that already there are some
plans being made for opening new coal
properties along the new line, and that
by the time this line is ready for opera
tions there will be number of coal
mines opened.
AS was stated before, the new line will
have a maximum grade of $40 of 1 per
cent, and will be built almost as the
crow flies from Birmingham to Jasper.

Judge Walter Evans of the United
States district court at Louisville, has
ruled that the clause of the Hepburn law
prohibiting passes does not operate TO
invalidate contracts for free passes made
prior to the passage of the law. The
opinion was given in overruling a demur-
rer of the Louisville and Nashville to a
petition in equity filed by Erasmus l..
Motley and Annie N. Motley. in which
they sought to enforce against the Louis
Vile and Nashville a contract giving
them passes for life. The general tenor
of the opinion is to the effect that Con-
gress did not intend to annul any contract
previously made and founded upon good
consideration.

FEAR FOR JUVENILE COURT

Judge N. B. F'eagin Of the police court
has been to Montgomery in the interest
of the child labor bill and also of the
juvenile court bill He spent a couple of
days in Montgomery and yesterday talked
OF his trip, saying:
Montgomery is a growing town. 1t Is
one of the many typical southern cities
that are rapidly becoming alive to TWEEN
tieth century methods and progress, and
Montgomery is improving steadily There
is a great deal of building under way,
and there is every indication that the
town is wide awake and that it is grow
ing.
II saw a number Of signs of progress.
Several buildings are in course of con-
struction in the business section of the
city, and there is an air of activity that
was lacking in Montgomery few years
ago.
Fears for Juvenile Court.
I'm regard to the juvenile court bill It
passed the house, but / am afraid that
1t may be lost In the senate. 1 saw sew
eral of the senators on the committee to
which the bill was referred. and some are
ators from the agricultural counties do
not appreciate the need for a bill that
will enable us to look after the young
sters They do not have boys in their
counties who need care as we do In a
big city or in manufacturing and in
dustrial center, such as Birmingham. l
hope that the bill will pass, however, for
we need it badly In order to enable us 10
care for the boys properly.
Child Labor Bill Uncertain.
II was also interested in the child labor
bill which has been introduced. / do not
know what Will be done with it. 1 did
not have an opportunity to talk with
Governor Conner in regard to the bill, and
do not know his opinion of it. He prom
ised to give us some measure that would
improve the conditions, and believe he
will do as he says"

Birmingham en- route to make a speech
in one of the counties.
This fight is going to have a good
