AUSTN'SCHALLENGE
SAYS HE'LL PREFER CHARGES
 AGAINST WEIR.
Present Chief of Police of Birmingham Says There is q Legally Con- stituted Board to Pass
 Judgment.

Birmingham, Jan. S.-(Special. )--A letter received by W. E. Wier. Chief of Police, aspirant to the office of Chief of Police, challenges the former to a public debate of issues in the present campaign.
 A letter written this morning in an- swer to the letter of c. w. Austin contains the declination on the part of Chief Weir to a public debate in which he explains the reasons for his stand.
 Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 2, 1907. Capt W. E. Weir, Chief of Police. City: Dear Sir-As a candidate for the of flee of Chief of Police of this city do hereby challenge you for joint de- bate at Gelders Hall, January 10, 1907, at 8 o'clock p. nl., to discuss the issues of the Chief of Police campaign. and in case you accept I will immediately furnish you with a list of the charges propose to make against you and your administration as Chief of Police, and in case you fail or refuse to answer this communication by 12 o'clock noon. January 8, 1907, then this commhica- tion, accompanied with charges, etc.. will be given the daily press for pub lication.
 In case the above date does not suit your convenience we can arrange a la- ter day within the next few days.
 Very respectfully,
 c. W. Austin.
 Birmingham. Ala. Jan. 8. 1907. MT. c. W. Austin, Birmingham, Ala. Dear Sir-Your communication of the 7th inst, received, in which you chal- lenge me for a joint debate and in which you say you will prefer charges against my administration as chief of police,
 I respectfully suggest that there ex- ists in this city a legally constituted hoard which has the right and juris- dtction to investigate. hear and deter mine any charges made by any, citizen against any member of the police de- partment.
 It Is an easy matter for parties to bandy so-called charges back and forth before the public, but you must know that it would be improper for an off, cer to debate proposed charges which have not been preferred in the man ner provided for by law. It is the duty of a citizen who knows of the misconduct of any police officer to file charges at once before the proper tri- bunal where they may be investigated and adJudicated. and it would appear that the motive behind the charges was less selfish If they were not sought to be made public in so unusual a manner just prior to political cam paign.
 You were evidently aware of the fact that 1t would be improper for me to accept your challenge for a joint de- bate when you made it.
 Respectfully.

Position Set Forth in Declaration.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1l.-From the
very first session of the convention
OF tho state Railroad Commissioners
meeting here Il has been apparent
that the state commissions generally
are opposed to the surrender of any
of the rights of the states to regulate
commerce within their borders. Any
attempt to so increase the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as to transfer state powers to the fed
eral GOV eriimcnt will be strongly OPP
posed.
The state commissioners want tho
dividing line drawn plainly between
the scope of tho federal government
and that of the state governments.
Aside from this most of the commits.
sioners point out that just such meet
ings MS tho present ahould furnish tho
uniformity OF action which advocates
of Capitalization wish 10 secure
through federal legislation.
