JAKE TANKEISLEY
 HELD FOR MURDER
HE IS CHARGED WITH KILLING "BABE" BELLBREW, A NEGRO, IN HIS OWN HoME-LEsTER GRAY IS DISCHARGED.

Alexander City, April 4.-(Special. )-Jale Tankersley, young farmer living about two miles from Alexander City, is in the custody of the sheriff, and Babe" Bell brew, negro tenant on the former s farm, lies dead at his home the result of a deplorabe tragedy which occurred early this morning.
 From the most reliable information ob- tainable it is claimed that Tankersley, who was in Alexander City late last night called at the home of the negro this morn ing about clock and asked BellbreW to come outside, that he wanted to talk to him. This the negro declined to do, when, it is alleged, Tanizersley replied that he had something that would bring him out' and fired one shot through a piece of tin nailed over a hole in the door shutter, the ball striking the negro in the right side and penetrating the heart. Bell brew ran through the house and fell out of a rear door, where he died almost in stantly.
 coroners jury investigated the affair and rendered a verdict that Bellbrew came to his death from the effects of a pistol shot fired by Tan1ersley.
 Tankersley refuses to make any state- ment with reference to the killing, but it is reported that at one time today he denied any knowledge of the shooting. He will be given a preliminary trial Monday.

These are simply a few CT the many practical wrongs that the people would be subjected to. And in the meantime our water powers would remain as they are now and just as they were when they fell from the plastic hand of nature-untouched, undeveloped, with millions of dollars daily running to waste.

T do not believe there is any question of authority or power between the fed eral government and the state govern ments on which the lines of demarkation are more thoroughly established and rec ognized than that in reference to the ravlgable streams of our country. | de not believe that the measure sug- gested by the President and indorsed ry the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. %Nilliams) falls within the delegated pow CTS of the federal government 1 contend. MT. Chairman, that at this particular .ime when an impulse is pesVading this whole country in reference to the improve i.lent of our waterways and the develop ment of water power as the only reilel tcat can be given to the people of this country in the matter of transportation, because the capacities and the facilities of the railroads of the country are in sufficient, that at this particular time or all other times in the history of our gov ernment, this great movement for the improvement of our waterways and the development of the water powers should te inaugurated and prosecuted With q 1ull recognition of the broad and consti- tiitional limitations of the rights of the states and the federal government The Pi esdent has contributed his full share to this desirable movement, and l was glad to hear the gentleman from Mis- s3ssippi (Mr Wiliams) say that we ought to have for this purpose an approprla- ton of S50.000000 per annum.
 .In my humble opinion, the suggestion made by the President of the United States to requre a common carrier or other corporation engaged in interstate commerce to be licensed ir Washington is not near so far-reaching in It's eVli effects as for the federal government to undertake to assume control of the nav ,gable waterways of this country con- trary to the limitations of tue constltu- ton. 1 know. and l will refer to them If I have the time in these short remarks, that there may be certain conditions or collaboration of work between the gov .rnment and individuals where the im- otovement of navigation is in view, that a different rule would apply or may pre- vail; but the pronouncement of the Pres ident is sweeping against all conditions and asserts the unqualified power of the government to impose, as a right, a rental charge on water powers.
