 County STANLEY REVIEWS WORK Greater Birmingham, Employers Lia- bility Bills and Measure to AboI- ish Police Commission Are
 Important Questions.
STANLEY REVIEWS WORK
BY c. M. STANLEY.

Montgomery, February 26.-(Special)- J. There has never been a session of the Alabama legislature in which matters of more vital interest to Birmingham and Jefferson county have come up for eonsid- eration than have come before the session of this, the good year 1907.
 For instance, there is the Greater Bir- mingham bill, by which 1t is contended the corporate limits of the city can be extended to take in enough people to bring the population up 10 something like proper figure.
 There is the employers liability bill, than which nothing can be of deeper in terest to Birmingham because it will af- feet every corporation and every employer of labor Birmngham's millions of cor porate wealth are sure to feel the effects of this measure if it passes in it's present form.
 The creation of new judicial positions for Jefferson county is another matter in which every citizen should be inter- ested
 The city of Birmingham Is interested in Mayor Wards plan to abolish the police commission, and it is already evident that this cannot be done without struggle.
 North Birmingham has a measure pend ing that means much to- it's future. The town simply seeks a charter in orGer to go ahead with the commendable work of municipal improvement already inau- gurated.

would have been had MT. Divers bid in its present form been presented on Jan uary 12, the day fixed for receiving the bids. Under the invitation for bids the reserved power exists in the commission to reject all bids, and the first question is whether 1t shall do so The purpose of the contract was to secure in the building of the canal the services of the best most experienced and most skilled contractors In the country at the least risk to them, and at the least expense to the government.
 Purpose Falls.
 "An investigation into the two bids above mentioned shows that this pur- pose of the government has failed. In each bid the contractors of experience, whose personal services in the work are what the commission has sought, have made arrangements to divide the profits under the percentage bid with bankers or others whom the contractors have had to look to for the needed capital, so that the contractors who are actually to do the work have arranged to accept a eomparatively small proportion of the profits accruing under the contract.
 In other words, the government by this arrangement Is made to pay a high per- centage for the use of capital, which 1t might itself have furnished at much
  the contractors are to receive for the real benefit they are to confer on the gov ernment are reduced to very meagre and perhaps inadequate compensation. No contract can ultimately operate to the benefit of the government in which the contractors energy, skill experience and personal supervision of the work are not adequately paid for. MT. Stevens, the chief engineer. who proposed the form of contract which with notifications was adopted, advises against accepting either bid because acceptance of either would not in his judgment accomplish the pur- pose he sought.
 "The considerations stated are by them selves sufficient to requirSra rejection or all bids and a change in the proposed form of contract

Greater Birmingham seems to be as- sured. At least the legislature will do it's part. Ii Is probable that all three of the general bills will be passed and Birming- ham can select the one best suited to the citY's purposes.
 The employers liability bill has proba- bly, brought down more people from Bir- mingham to enter protests than any other one measure. Indeed it is said that considerable feeling has been aroused on the subject. The employers claim it will drive industrial enterprises out of the state because it gives the employe such great advantages over the employer in court They claim that by it's pro- visions damages can be collected for ac- cidents which if was absolutely impossible 10 prevent and that 1t relieves the employe of any culpabilty of contrbutorY negligence MT King of Jefferson, who re-drafted the bill, contends that it is patterned after the federal statute on the same subject passed by the last Con gross and is the best thing for the in- terests of the state. He contends that human life is above every other con- sideration and should be protected at any cost. Meanwhile there is strenuous lobbying and it is not improbable that thee will yet be some sort of compro- mise.

When Mayor Ward yesterday morning sent back a message to Birmingham to the effect that he had let up on the police commission fight and was working for Greater Birmingham, some one evidently became suspicious for Captain O'Brien and Tom Mcdonald, two of the most ardent opponents of abolition of the po- lice commission came post haste to Mont gomery.
 And sure enough it developed that Mayor Ward had played another card in the commission fight. Representative Sam Will John had drawn up and introduced a bill creating police commissions fin all cities of over 35,O0o and all counties of over 100000" which means Brming- ham, This commission is to consist of three members. including the mayor, who is eN-officio chairman. The other two members are to be appointed by the gov ernor now. the places to be filled at the regular municipal election. Mayor Ward is not saying much, but he is put ting in every minute of his time on the ground
 The automobile bill, as finally reported. is satisfactory to both the motor car drivers and the farmers. Instead of re- quiring a car to stop when q horse or mule appears in the road, the amended bill does not require driver to stop unless the horse or mule actually be- comes frightened. Almost any automobile driver wnuld rather stop than cause q runawaN so that there will be no fur ther cause for unrest on account of this measure.
 The North Birmingham charter matter is a thing that everyone realizes should be attended to. If 1t fails this week it will simply be on account of the pressure "' other work which will not ale for consideration of local matter. Birmingham is a thriving muni It has gone to work and erected ter works plant which is owned by the city. The town has built and sidewalks and made all so street improvements and yet it Ina no legal right to do it. It has ht charter and has been unable to pr, one.

 And Birmingham knows the work of the present legislature means much, and the citizens also know that this week is one of the most important of the whole ses- sion. Birmngham's citizens are alive to the city's interest Here are a few of the men who came down to the capital this morning: W. P. G. Harding. Capt. F. P. O'Brien, D. J. O'Connell J. c. Mcdonald, Wilson Brown John L. Kaul Culpepper EXum, Romaine Boyd, John P.s Tillman, c. B. Powell Erie Pettus and c. w. Pratt.
 Among those already on the ground were Mayor George B. Ward, Alderman John C. Forney, several candidates for iudgeships to be created in Jefferson, au- tomobllists and others. Indeed no Bir- mingham man, even though he may never have been to the capital before, need feel like a stranger in Montgomery today.
 The candidates for the county judge ships are seen everywhere. There will be one associate judge of the circuit court and two associates for the city court. A. O. Lane has been indorsed by the Jeffer- son bar for the circuit position, and this morning messages were received saying the same body had gone on record as fa- Voring Judge c. c. Nesmith and Judge H. A. Sharpe for the two other places. w. P Garrett and A. c. Howze are in the race and claim they have the support of enough members of the legislature to make things interesting.
 The two measures, one of which has been passed and signed, provide for the election of the three judges by a joint session of the two houses. It was pointed out this morning. however, that all newly created circuit judges must be appointed by the governor under the constitution, and this will put the matter up to Cover nor Conner. It is learned on good authority that the governor will probably conform to the recommendation of the Jefferson bar and name MT. Lane.

nothing to do with whether or not this man is crazy but withdrew his objec- tion, and Mrs. Thaw answered in the af- firmatiYe.
 After you had refused to continue your improper relations with White, did he ever have any talk with you regarding resuming these relations?'
 MT. Jerome objected on the ground that it was not proper, and his objection was sustained.
 Mrs. Thaw testified she had received no money from White, except such as was receipted for. She had received from him various articles of wearing apparel.

BUYING COOKING PANS.

Steel will be found smoother than
iron and it will last longer, because
1t does not break so easily. Do not
purchase cheap tinware; If of good
quality tinware will last we'll for
long time and 1t is excellent for many
purposes.
Such articles of food as layer cake
or anything that requires quick
cooking are best cooked in tin, but
neither tin, iron nor steel should be
used for acid foods.
Peas and beans will not cook soft
in enamel ware, but will soften quick
ly in a tin saucepan.
Fruit should RIVER be cooked in
tin or iron, bat only in porcelain or
enamel lined saucepans; neither
should tin be used for frying, boil
ing coffee or for any purpose when
it must be exposed to intense heat,
for tin melts at a very low tempera-
ture, and if exposed to heat at high
temperature the result Is apt to be
disastrous. says an exchange.
Aluminium ware is, of course, the
very best of all. 1t is light in weight,
very clean looking, as it really is,
and altogether 1t seems to leave moth

A simple washing with pure soap
