fully looked into the merits of the
several plans submitted but took no
action.
The board decided % select an
architect for the school building at
the outstart rather than make a Sc

that is from plans to be submitted
by q number of architects. The board
will give a general idea as to the
sort OF building required ana the
amount of money available to expend
on it. This sum is 100000 for the
building complete, so that the struc-
ture itself will have to come consid-
erably under that figure.
The board at its regular meeting
next Monday expects 70 select an
architect and then get right down to

mary things that have to be done
before a pick is struck in the ground

Representative Claytsa Urges Cotton Tax on Cengrese--Garber and Weaklsy AEgoe Fereaxn Cor
 poKntlon Tax

Washington. Dee. 17.--( Special )--- Representative Burnett arranred today with the House Rivers and Harbors Committee for | hearing on January 6 on the coosa River projects.
 He telegraphed the Business Mems Club of Gadsden to that effect. and it is expected that a de1egation from that city and other points will bs here. Capt. W. F. Lay, of Gadsden, and ex- State Senator W. T. Brown Of Rag land. have signined their intention of being present.
 The estimate for the locks and dams that are asked for will require total expenditures of sss7.0oo. It is pro- posed to build lock near Rome. Ca.. Lock No. and dam in Alabama to be completed and new dam Is also proposed. Lock fs the dam in Ala bama to be completed. Dam No. fs to be built near Ragland.
 Mir. Burnett has strong hope that, after the statements are properly pre- sented to the committee the appropria- lions asked for will be given in the general river and harbor bin to be re- ported and passed during the present session.
 Representative Clayton introduced in the House bill to refund the cotton tax. If the measure were to pass. the EutH Ou dCCouHk VI tAc tVhtCttVn VI this tax. which would be paid to Ala bama. is $1o.3ss.1o.
 For number of years efforts have been made to have this money return ed. but obstacles have been placed Tn the way. However. some progress has been made, and 1t fs hoped that ulti- mately the necessary legislation may be secured, as was done when the di- rect tax was refunded.
 Conflicting reports are heard here as to the papers of Julius Sternfeld. who has baen indorsed for United States Att torney for the Middle District of Ala bama by Barker and Thompson. Word from Montgomery had it that Sternfeld himself told people he had no papers on file. Inquiry at the department was made by Congressman late this af- ternoon, just as the office was closing, and he was informed that they 'scer- tainiy were on file If they had not been withdrawn"
 Senator Johnston no longer than yes terday was discussing the case with The Advertiser correspondent and he said he had not only learned that stern fields application was on file. but 1t was his information also that he had been indorsed by Barker and Thomp- son.
 Arguments in the foreign corpora tion tax case brought up from the Alabama coufts were concluded today in the United States Supreme Court. Alfred P. Thom, general counsel for the Southern Railway, closed for the, railways. and Judge Weakley was al- lowed twenty minutes to make the final argument.
 Attorney General Garber and Judge weakiey left Washington this after- noon for home. It probably will be several months before a decision is reached. Alfred J. Stofer.
