 Commission Meets Here.
 The Alabama Railroad commission has been called to meet Tn Birmingham tomor-
  has not been officially stated, it is com monly understood that the complaint to be filed with the interstate commerce commission by the Alabama commission against the recent rate advances will be the chief topic. The commission of Ala bama has already made known its inten- tion to file formal complaint, an6 for this reason it is believed the members, who will gather In Birmingham tomorrow, will get together necessary data such as evil dence of shippers in Alabama called for by Commissioner Nesbitt last week.
 Building Committee.
 The building committee of the Ala bama Polytechnic institute has been called to meet Thursday noon in the office of the president of the First National bank in Birmingham for the purpose of opening bids for the big agricultural building to be constructed at Auburn. The building will cost something like s75,00O.
 Contract Is Signed.
 The last act on the part of the state necessary to put the Frye geograph ir, aF children was performed today. This was the signature of the secretary of state, Frank N. Julian, to the publish CTS contract.
 The governor had already signed the contract and now the publishers, Ginn & Co.,, are at liberty to send the books to the state depository at once. By this contract authorized by the text book commission last June, the advanced geographies of Frye are to be sold to the patrons of schools in Alabama for SS cents a copy, while the same book is retailed in Indiana for 75 cents
 The publishers defended themselves against objections to this discrimina- tion by declaring that conditions are different in the Hoosier state from those in Alabama.
 Pension Examiners.
 Surrounded by heaps of paper from all counties in the state E. B. Starr and Dr. R. D. Jackson, members of the state board of pension examiners, did a good days work discussing applica- tions from more than a dozen counties today. It is believed that they have work on hand sufficient to keep tn em here for couple of weeks. They are meeting in the office of the state au- dtor.
