order to have a continuous flow of
water there should be two of these
reservoirs, and if above them there
was separate reservoir for COM
pressed air, all the better, since the
windmill would not always operate.
The main difficulties are two: it is
costly to open a large well and most
modern wells are drilled ones, and air
is not real easy thing to pump with
windmill, since slow motion is
very wasteful in operating an air
pump. AS q matter of fact, a great
deal Of thought and experiment has
been expended on this and similar
problems, and thus far little use

Congress and the Commodity Clause

On the first day of this month the commodity clause of the rate or Hep burn bill became operative, and ever since that day it has been unlawful in a railroad company to own directly or indirectly mines or plants. or to trans port commodities made by any plant controlled by it. The government and the carriers are preparing friendly case to test in the highest court the validity of this clause. In case it is upheld in the courts the railroads will be subjected no doubt to heavy fines.
 The interstate commission recon.- mends to Congress a suspension of the penalties long enough to test the valid- ity of the clause. Senator Foraker assails the administration on the ground that it has not enforced and does not intend at present to enforce the commodity clause. The Ohio sena- tor is anxious to find grounds for as- sailing the administration, and the commodity clause serves his purpose. The railroads say that in the current depression it is impossible to find a market for coal mines or other prop critics, but they had long notice of the operation of the commodity clause, and as a rule they paid no attention to 1t. They made no preparations against its coming, and now they are asking Congress to help them out by post poning it's operation for reasona ble period of time.

MT. Sayely Is in charge of the fight in the two states mentioned against the invasion of the Mexican boil weevil which has crossed the Mississippi river and Is making steady progress eastward. The department, through It's experts. Is cooperating with the farmers in rapid cultivation and early maturity of cotton, which forestalls the weevil in his destructive work. This method has proven very successful In Texas. where the insect Is no longer dreaded.
 The farmers of Mississippi and Ala bama are cooperating with the depart ment officials and satisfactory results are being secured.
 Mir. Savely is enth husiastic in the work of his department and talks in- terestingly of the methods and results of his labor.

LAYMEN'S MEETING
 IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Montgomery May 20.-(Specia1.)-T feature of the meeting of the laymens movement convention of the Alabama con- ference of the Methodist church was a stirring address delivered by President Pepper of Memphis, who is the head of the movement in the south. MT. Pepper delveerd an inspiring address, and he made a splendid impression upon the great audience which had gathered for the meeting and which itself showed the great interest that Is felt in AlabaNna in the new movement. In his address ot welcome Judge w. H. Thomas of the city court of Montgomery recounted the great work that has been done by the 1aity in great religious movements of history.
 In his address President Pepper said that he had come bearing a message. The movement was new and but little known but he said that 1t had aroused en- thusiasm wherever 1t had been started Its purpose was to vitalize the energy of the laymen for the welfare of the church.
 The convention will be in session throughout today.

Cotton Traders In Court

Forty-six of the dealers in con- tracts have been subpoenaed to appeSr before a federal grand jury in New York-forty- of the members of the New York cotton exchange, and they are to carry their books with them. Following closely on the publication of the exposures of the practices of th- New York cotton exchange in the mat ter of classifications by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, the haling to court of forty-six cotton brokers is sensational and perhaps sig njficant.
 zLet Us hope the methods of the New York cotton exchange will be fully in vestigated by the federal grand jury. anch an investigation has long been needed, and if some indictments follow no one will be surprised.
 The southern producers should cut loose from New York. For example. middling spots were quoted in New York on Tuesday last at 1O.so per cent.

I. \. M'INTYRE INDICTED ON
 CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY

New York, May 2o.-Upon the finding today of an indictment against him by the grand jury, Thomas A. Mcintyre of the failed brokerage firm of T. A. McIn- tyre & Co.,, was arrested on warrant charging grand larceny in the first de- gree. He gave bail in the sum of s25,OO0 and was released.
 MT. McIntyre's arrest was made in the face of vigorous protest by his physicians at the sanitarium, where he has been a patient since shortly after the failure of his firm After the officers had offered to take him to Bellevue hospital in an am- bulance as prisoner he consented and went with the detective to police head quarters. After his arraignment before Judge Rosalsky and the furnishing of his bond by surety company, he was taken to the sanitarium.
 The specific charge against Mcintyre is based on the claim of Ellen Sedwick of Hartford, Conn.,, that certificate for 60 she placed with the Mcintyre firm as trustee was put up as collateral by the firm for a loan which it had negotiated on it's own account with the Metropolitan Trust company.
 Assistant District Attorney Train said tonight that there were more than 100 complaints against the Mcintyre firm in his office, involving between $300, 600 and s4O0, 600 worth of securities turned over 10 the firm by investors. These securities, the district attorneys office says. cannot be found.

Alabama'S Excellent Example

Alabama's direct voting not only for delegates to Denver but for presi- dential preference, with no convention intervening at any point or in any way, has created deep impression through ont the country. The comments upon the Alabama plan are numerous and interesting, and it Is not too much to say that the concrete example of popu- lar direct action presented in this state will wonderfully advance the cause throughout all the rest of the country. It will rouse the masses to demand their rights in the machine states, and it will broaden and deepen the primary movement where it has obtained foot hold.
 The wires of Monday night carried the news far and wide that the Ala bama democrats had acted without the aid or a cOnVenJlOn-ud dCIcu dS freeman should act, independently, in- dividually and in accordance with con- victions. Democrats went to the polls on Monday instead of the meeting of a convention made up of delegates se- lected by the county rings with strings running to the bosses at the larger political centers. No one in Alabama thinks the best convention ever held was the equal in honesty of Mondays primary, in which something like 1oO,- 900 democrats participated.
 This is what Alabama said to her sister states when the news of Mon days contest was flashed to all parts of the union. There will after while be other primaries of like nature, for state after state will soon begin to see that the votes of the many are safer in every sense of the word than the votes of the few

while May contracts closed at 9.70 cents-a difference of 5 bale. In New Orleans mddling spots were worth HIS cents and May contracts sold at 1O.55-a difference of less than SIPS a bale. Classification of this na- ture in New York operates to depress the price of cotton, and 1t is maintained for that purpose at the instance of the spinners, and yet New York Is no longer 6 spot cotton market.
 The southern producers and shippers should begin to cut all strings that bind them to the New York cotton ex- change, for it is a concern that pulls persistently against southern farmers by means of scheme of classification intended to depress the price of the south's great staple.

StrOng Banks

The official statements of the banks of Birmingham issued yesterday make an excellent showing. Not only are the cash reserves large but the banks are found to be in a healthy, normal condition. For several years Birming- ham has been well to the front as a strong financial center and the ease with which the banks came through last falls panic has naturally increased their prestige.
 Birmingham now enjoys the reputa- toin of being the greatest banking city in the south between Louisville and New Orleans. The fact is 1t is second to none of them.

Campaiening Against HOuSefieS

 This ordinance should be rigidly in freed. Flies, however, travel consid- erable distances. Mosquitoes do not. Flies do, and the country health off, cer would serve the people well if he woAd arply ordinance No. 146 to the subsrbs. It is needed there if flies are to be kept out of the city.
 Tae housefy is beyond reasonable doubt the crief distributor of typhoid germs. No case of typhoid arises spon- taneously. Each case of the disease has an anteceoent case somewhere, and it may Aot be very near, for flies ride on cars and on horseback and on cattle, and the antecedent case may be far away. The housef1y is busy and deadly without being villianous. It never wipes it's feet or brushes off its mouth. It goes, therefore, loaded down with disease germs. Every house Keeper knows the rest.

The conference failed to reach an agreement and at II o'clock adjourned until tomorrow. It is apparently foregone conclusion if the caucus agrees upon a bill it will not ex- ceed the scope of the Payne bill; and republican leaders tonight expressed great doubts that any measures will be passed at this session.

Excess

On account of lessened crops grown last year we are exporting smaller amount of agricultural products, but at the same time we are buying far less in foreign countries; and this gave us in April a large balance of trade il. our favor. and this is repeated month after month. In view of the condition of our foreign trade it Is exceedingly difficult to account for current gold exports, but gold exports seem to be a law to themselves, and no one is ever able to explain them comprehensively.
