NUMEROUS AND VARIED ARE
 COUNCIL COMMITTEE D0INGS

Important and numerous meetings of Inc Council Committees will be held in inc Council at o'clock tonight and thera will be nothing more interesting than the consideration of the laying of tracks on what has now become fa- nous as the South Perry Street line. The Committees to meet are those on Streets, Franchises and Public Privi- leres, Public Utilities and Police, and the many matters to be proposed are almost as various as they are numer- ous.
 Chairman Kennedy said last night that he was opposed at the present. time to tho laying of a track on the extension of South Court Street. He preferred, he said, to walt until the widening of the extension had been completed on the south side of Genetta Ditch and until certain necessary im- provements had been made. The South Court Street proposition will probably be the most difficult that the commit tees will have to handle.
 Among other matters to be consid- cred are the alleged blocking of Court gouare by street cars that are switched there, and the poles that stand at the basin.
 The committees comprise nearly all the members of the Council and their joint meeting is expected to be ex- tFemely Interesting.

 the Capitol. Unusuai Interest Attaches To Rumor That Governor's Mind Is Made
 Up--Moblle sends Her Rrstest.

The suspense about filling the Rail- road Commission vacancy was some what broken yesterday by the arrival of Governor Conner and thereby the opportunity of anxious applicants to have a word with him. storm clouds began to gather, however, for these candidates on the ground. There seemed to be written in the clements that John A. Lusk of Marshall '"can have t if he wants 1t"
 And nobody knows whether he wants it or not. He has said nothing about his probable action if the Governor offers the honor to him. He merely has announced that he is not an ayowed applicant. The rumor is that Mir. Lusk Is now on his way to Montgomery. having been summoned here by the Governor.
 This was the situation to which the matter had sifted down yesterday with the closing of the Governors of ice. Significance. too. Hes in the ap+ pearance of an editorial in The Birm- ingham News, an administration or gan, calling for Mir. Lusk to be ap- pointed as Railroad Commissioner. The editorial followed stay of Governor Conner in Birmingham for two days.
 Some were prone yesterday to inter pret the editorial and the circum- stances as a tentative offer of the of- Nce to Mr. LuBk. IT couiu naruly po put in 50 strong language. however. i. If the Governor wants to place the honor with MT. Lusk he will do 1t and that pretty soon. Until Lusk is elim- mated, 1t is believed that the appoint uaent rests high in the air.
 With the rumor flying fast over the State that the Governor had held out the plum to the Senator from Mar shall, no little interest was aroused. !. It reached Mobile. where 1t seemed tho news was too much to bear without a words outspoken. So. one read the fol- lowing Associated Press dispatch from the Gulf City yesterday afternoon
 Mobile, Ala, July 16-Nunerous protests have gone to Governor Conner of Alabama asking him not to appoint Senator John A. Lusk as Railroad Commissioner on the grounds that he is antagonistic to the railroad inter sstR of tho entire State"
 Nothing was known of this in the Governors off1ce.
 Applicants are now beginning to think that the Governor will not delay the appointment longer than this week. He realizes that the successor to the late Major John c. Harris must be soon about the business or ths 2 -

 Tn serious illness 1t is best to call the family doctor at once: 1t Is also we'll for mothers to know of simple. reliable home remedies that can be used effec- lively in case of emergency. When children are taken suddenly and vio- lently Ill, or have an attack of fever. colds, croup, or any of the little flis, the first thing to do is to get the bow els to move freely.

 M. F. Stoudenmire. who resides in that part of the county, was out row ing for pleasure, accompanied by his family last Sunday afternoon when they discovered an object floating. They set out to overtake the obpect when they discovered 1t was human body. The body was taken from the water and help was called from the neigh boring settlers and the body was buried on the bank of the river on House Blunf.
 and there was no inquest held over this body, but it was buried by those who found 1t on the lonely banks of the Alabama. The place where the body was buried can be reached by boat on the Alabama River, or by rail to Au. tauRaville and with cross country drive of six or seven miles.
 Work on the two-suory brick build ing going up on the south side Of Sec" ond Street, is progressing satisfactor- fly and in the near future two new stores will be ready for occupancy. and there will be offiees in the second story of the building.

MAYOR MEETS CITIZENS
 WHO SAY WEIGHT IS SHORT
They Complain That Ice Delivered Is of Short Weight and He Ad-
 ylaeN Them

vIses Them.
 Mayor Teague yesterday made q statement in which he told citizens complaining that their Ice as delivered was short of weight they had an easy comeback on the ice man. The Mayor tntimated that all that 1t was neces- sary for the complaining citizen to do was to make the formal complaint against the company serving the lee, giving the number of the wagon.
 It would seem, from Mayor Teague's remarks, that 1t Is the drivers, not the company, that are to blame.
 Mayor Teague said yesterday:
 There ts no reason why this mat ter should not be satisfactorily and speedily adjusted and the cause of the complaints corrected. There Is on the statute books of the city an ordinance requiring that each ice wagon doing business in this city shall be equipped with acurate scales. and that the con ice be weighed. By this precaution our citizens would recaive full weight in- stead of having to put up with the shortages complained of.
 Each wagon Is numbered and the driver may be located by that fact. and if for any reason any consumer should not receive the proper weight in his purchase. after requesting the same to be weighed. by phoning the police de- partment and making affidavit to this effect the driver will be promptly ar~ rested and tried for the violation.
 "The ice companies do not doubt that their drivers are delivering short weight, and are anxious that the trou" ble be ended, and request cooperation of the citizens in the manner set out above, to this end.
