Indianapolis. Ind, April 22.-Two
men who keep their eye on politics and
who know what is going on, got their
heads together last night and made an
estimate OF the chances for the plan OF
Governor Marshall to nominate q can
didate for United States Senator to be
adopted by the democratic state con-
vention next week. One man is In IA
vor OF the adoption OF the plan and is
working for 1t. The other man is OPP
posed to 1t and does not care who
knows 1t. They took the list OF coun-
ties and credited to the yes" or mo-
column the delegates that have already
been instructed either way on the
proposition. They then looked over
the other counties and made an esti-
mate of the rest Of the votes. The re.
suit showed that the vote stands al!
most a tie.
In fact this estimate shows that tho
governors plan will be adopted by 9
majority OF nine votes. There vii
be 1,747 delegates in the convention
According to this estimate the COVER
nor's plan will receive S7s votes whil'
there are $50 against the plan.

1t is admitted that these figures may
not be correct, but they will at least
show the narrow margin by which eifn-

ITO TRANSPIRE"

Transpire Is very innocent word. Nevertheless 1t was the cause of the arrest of E. l.. Bush and II. J. Hafer two well dressed white men, on a charge of flimfiamming. The men. un- fortunately for them, tried their ex- pertinent on Detectives zeigler and Jus tin. who subsequently arrested them
 Zeigler and Justin were in q cafe eating supper when the two men at tracted attention by the loud discus sion of the meaning of the word trans pire." The men were apparently strangers to each other One offered to bet $5 that "transpire" meant to "perspire."
 The second man had only s2 and ap- proache ed Zeigler and asked him to put up the other $3 thus making the bet.
 Zeigler consented and the four ad- journed to the city hall to find a dic- itonary. However, when police head quarters were reached no dictionary was needed as the two men were taken into custody.
 Incidentally it might be stated that Webster's meaning for transpire is as follows: ITO excrete through the skin; to give off in the form of yapor; to exhale: to perspire."

YIADUCT MEETING
 PROBABLY OCT. 91
RAILROAD EXECUTIVES WILL HOLD ANOTHER CONFERENCE TO DE- cIDE ON \ COUNTER PROPOSAL OF THE CITY

The railroad executives have decided that another meeting will be necessary to determine what shall be done in regard to the viaduct plan submitted by the city as a substitute for the original one by the railroads. It is expected that the meeting will be held in Birmingham about October S1. although the officers have not determined the date and day yet.
 Henry B. Spencer, vice president of the Southern Railway company, who has the matter in charge, telegraphed here yes terday that the plan as submitted by the city would be gone over by the railroads at meeting to be held about October 31.
 The plan has been in the hands of Mr. Spencer for several days. He has been corresponding with the railroad execu- lives in regard to it and the determina- ton to hold another meeting is believed to have resulted from their interchange of letters
 The officers of the executive depart ments are engaged now in trying to learn what date will be most convenient for the majority and what city the most central to hold the meeting. This will be determined within the next few days and permanent plans agreed upon for
 
 The determination of the railroad execu- tiyes to hold another meeting to consider the yiadueht proposals is not a surprise to local officers. The original proposal by the railroads and the counter one by the city were so far apart that it was prac- tically known another meeting would have to be held.
 The railroad engineers have been work ing on the vladuct question for First ave- nue ever since the matter was broachsd. They have completed exhaustive exam nations and reports have been made to the executives. The inability of the city to close up the streets requested closed by the railroads will cause the delay of the construction until after the legisla- ture meets. It is not expected that tho railroads will agree to start work until every legal measure has been taken to protect them in the closing of the streets avenues and alleys.

WOULD PUT PROVIDENCE
 COMPANY IN BANKRUPTC

Charging that the Providence Oil and Gas company, of which Dr. G. B. Grove is president, is insolvent an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against that company yesterday afternoon at 2 o clock in the federal bankrupt court Tile petitioning creditors were the Bir- Young & Vance Supply company and the Birmingham Ledger Publishing com- pany. The petition was filed by Nesbit & Whitaker, attorneys, who charge that the company was insolvent by reason of owing over 5000, and that the concern had committed an act of bankruptcy by paying out money since being insolvent.
 The company is headed by pr. G. B. Grove, one of the best known men in Birmingham. He was formerly president of the Yolande Coal company. The com pany has recently been in the public eye through a succession of civil cases which have been tried in the state court.
 Dr. Grove was in Columbus, Miss, yes- terday for the purpose of holding meet ing with the citizens of that city re- garding the piping of gas to that city. The meeting was held last night It is expected that pr. Crowe will be in Bir- mingham today.
 The petition filed yesterday requested that the firm be adjudlcated a bankrupt, but no request was made for a receiver.
 It is expected that Judge Grubb will be requested to appoint receiver today.
 An interesting feature of the Provi- dence oil and Gas company troubles is an announcement by w. H. Beatty that a request has been made of the manage ment to call a meeting and hear the re- port of the auditing committee. This meeting, 1t Is said, will also consider re- quest for the displacing of certain direct ors. The announcement says:
 Thirty or more stockholders In the Providence oil and Gas company have made written demand on the manage ment of the company that a special stock holders meeting shall be called within the next few days for the purpose of con- sidering a report from the auditing com mittee, which was appointed at the an- nual meeting of the stockholders held in August; also for the purpose of electing new directors In lieu of certain directors who, 1t is alleged, were illegally declared elected at that meeting.
 "It is thought that this special meet ing will be held within the next week."

SOUTH 10
 HE FAR-OFF WEST
Gentry Hillman Back After a
 Long Trip
GREAT FUTURE IS HERE
Believes That the Rapid Development of the West VIII Now Cease As the Tide is Already Turn
 ing Southward

After travelling in the west for several months Gentry Hillman, one of the best known industrial men in the south. has returned to Birmingham. He has been in every state west of the Mississippi river during the past year, and sees in that country wonderful possibilities. However, MT. Gentry stated yesterday, in discuss ing the west, that lands purchased in Alabama or the south will be very supe- rior as an investment to the lands of the west. He stated that the great tide of immigration to the west was due to the railroad advertising and attractive of fers made by the western states.
 However, I believe the tide of immi- grafton to the west has stopped" said MT. Hillman. 'T think 1t would be an absolute bunder to go west and make investments as conditions are now. In many of the cities the booms have spent their force and hundreds of empty store houses may be seen In many western towns.
 'I think this immigration will witness reaction which will bring many of those people down south. We have bet ter opportunities to offer than the west, although few people seem to realize 1t. Tho climatic conditions out west are an attractive feature, but the chances of making wealth are decidedly less than In the south at this time.
 Investments made out west will not bring in as much money for the invest ment as the game amount placed In some lands of Alabama. The chance of mak- ing money In the apple business out near Portland Is fine. However, every person who goes out there is almost obliged to start on the apple farms and this will surely result in an over-production of apples. which will cause a necessary re- duction in profits per acre.
 There is no use talking the south is the best after all. I have been in every the immigration and the conditions of destiny which will lead to fortune among the states of the west. However. I would be slow to say that the west Is not fine country. It has surely grown and will continue to grow. I would pre- fer throwing my lot with the south. where the tide of immigration Is slow but sure, and where we get a steady, re- liable class of people upon whom we can depend"
 Mir Hillman said since leaving Bir- mingham this city had changed until he was amazed at the new conditions. AL though gone but year the difference Is decidedly noticeable. He said Birming- ham Is becoming more and more metro- poitan and he was very glad indeed to be in Birmingham again.
 MT Hllman will be here all the win ter.

COMPLAINT OF METHODS
s. B. Stern Objects to Practices on
 Second Avenue

Chief Bodeker has received from s. B. Stern, merchant on Second avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-sec- ond streets, a complaint of the meth ods used by some of the merchants to secure trade. The chief has referred the complaint to the patrolmen on the beat with instructions to stop it. The complaint Is as follows:
 The majority of the merchants on Second avenue between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets are up in arms because of the practice of some few of the merchants in pulling in cus- toner's. This practice tends to dis order and Is usually carried on by half-drunken "hawkers." I think they can be stopped under threat of arrest for blockading the sidewalk or for dis orderly conduct. Hope you can in struct your men to stop this nuisance. VIII furnish you with names of com plainants if you desire.

WHAT'S THE USE To Keep n "Coffee CompiexfOns"

A lady says: "Postum has helped my complexion so much that my friends say I am growing young again. My complexion used to be coffee colored, muddy and yellow but it is now clear and rosy as when I was a girl.
 To T was induced to try Postum by a friend who had suffered just as I had suffered from terrible indigestion, pal- pitation of the heart and sinking spells.
 After I had used Postum week [ was so much better that was afraid it would not last. But now two years have passed and I am a well woman. I owe 1t all to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in it's place.
 .T had drank coffee all my life. suspected that 1t was the cause of my trouble, but 1t was not until I actually quit coffee and started to try Postum that l became certain; then all my troubles ceased and I am now well and strong again."

CLEANUP SQUAD IS
 BUSY IN STEEL CITY

The Birmingham health department is making a hurricane cleanup of Ensiey, and is sweeping that part of the city with a fine-tooth comb.
 pr. Robert Nelson announced yester- day that he had formed flying squad ron which will see that Ensley is as clean as pin before the work is fin- ished. A half dozen extra inspectors from the sanitary department have been detailed to assit the regular Ensley inspectors.
 They are finding that very few peo- pie have regulation garbage cans and that the alleys are in an insanitary condition. Warnings are issued and arr rests will follow if the laws are not complied with.
