NEW CURRENCY BILL.
Conference May Agree to Disagree
Until Final Hour.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Con-
ferees on the currency bill will meet
today and the probability is that
daily sessions will be held for the
next several days. In fact, it is
not thought that the question of A.
nancial legislation will be settled
until few hours before final adj
journment. The differences between
the senate and the house are many.
The senate regards the provisions
of the house for the formation of
clearing house districts and the is
suanee of national bank notes on
commercial paper guaranteed by the
clearing house associations to be
species of asset currency.
1t is said Senator Aldrich and his
fellow members of the conference on
the part of the senate are not
unalterably opposed to the plan Of
the house bill If 1t can be safeguard
ed so as to remove the asset currency
feature. Therefore, 1t is possible
that the conferees will work out
something that may be accepted by
both branches of congress. The con-
ferees on the part of the senate are
Senators Aldrieh. Allison, Hale,
Daniel and Teller On the part. Of
the house Messrs Vreland. New
York: Burton, Ohio: Weeks. Mas
sachusetts; Pujo. Louisiana, and
Glass, Virginia All of these legis-
lators, including the four democrats.
are in favor Of the passage OF some
sort OF emergency currency legisla-
tion at the present session.

The prominent feature-the one
arising above and oyershadowing all
others-of the republican convention
recently held at Wallace, was the
elimination of the names of Senators
Hepburn and Borah and Governor
Gooding form the delegation to the
national convention at Chicago. This
procedure on the part of the cOnven-
ton by reason of its unprecedence in
the history of political conventions In
the state has created a subject for
discussion, not only among the poll
ticians here, but also among the lay
men, and 1t has opened a wide field
of speculation among those interested
in politics as to the motive for II.
So universal has public interest been
in 1t here, and so unfavorable and
adverse the comment and criticism
upon 1t that Honorable j. II. Brady.
the chairman of the republican state
central committee. candidate for gov
ernor on the party ticket. and boss of
the republican state machine. availed
himself OF an opportunity to explain
away undesirable or unfayoFable fea-
lures that he feared might find lodge
ment in the minds of the voters Of
the party ticket. with relation to it.
When seen at the Hotel Idaho. dur
ing his visit to the city with the other
delegates of the convention with rela-
ton to the work of the convention in
general. by a representative of the
Press. he said: II want to say that the
commission of the names of the SEN
atOrs of the state from the Chicago
delegation casts no reflection on them
whatever II was simply a wish on
the part OF the delegates to distribute
the honors among the laymen." He
did not include in the statement the
name of Governor Gooding. but
adrOitly framed his sentence to avoid
mention of IT. He had started to say
in fact had framed and rounded
out In oratorical style the sentence.

word people he caught himself. and
paused and reflected. AS he medi-
tated the realization probably forced
itself upon him that the voice of the
people in that convention was silent
that the word did not 1T in and

University, September s.-(Special)-- The football prospects for the current season at the State University present about as murky an aspect as they have shown in the past four or five years. It is true that good squad is out every afternoon, but the men are very light and for the most part inexperienced, Yesterday afternoon there were 30-odd men on the field arrayed in their togs, but in the entire bunch there were but two regular veterans of last years team-a center and an end; of the en- tire back field of last year, only the sub-quarter remains. That's a nucleus for an eleven.
 But Alabama has no idea of giving up this early in the game, or before the season is over, for that matter. Students and alumni know that in Dr. Pollard the Crimson and White has coach who is perhaps the hardest man on the southern gridiron to down. Year before last he had splendid success with his first team, and last season he sue. ceeded wonderfully with an aggrega- ton consisting to large extent of un-

tried material. But the season just budding will no doubt put the great est tax of all on his resources, and if he comes through 1t with a good record, too much cannot be said of his powers in teaching the young idea how to boot" Not only by the lightness and inexperience of his material is he ham, dicapped but also by the new rule OF the S. I. A. A. which forbids freshmen from participating in varsity contests. Moreover, the schedule for this year is one of the toughest propositions that an Alabama team ever had to tackle. Here it is below:

 The buildings include a brick bank Bank of Arkwright-whi has been in operation since November 12, 1907; an at tractive and commodious two-story hotel, now open for two months; a large cotton gin and a brick cotton warehouse. In addition to these there is a large brick store with plate glass front vat would be credit to one of Birminghams bus mess streets. Several new residences and a few small frame stores complete the list of buildings.
 It was in honor of P. $. Arkwright, the able and popular vice president of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, that the new town was named and the lat ter has been heard to say that his name sake shall have a commodious station building-if he has to build it himself.
