MANY ANSWER THE
 SPEEDING CHARGE
TWENTY-NINE LETTERS HAVE BEEN NAILED FROM CHIEF BOD- EKER's OFFICE IN TWO DAYS TO OWNERS OF CARS.

In connection with the campaign now being carried on by Chief of Police George H. Bodeker against the automo- bile speed violators of the city, 29 let ters have been mailed to owners of cars in the last two days asking them to appear at the police headquarters and answer to the charge of violating the speed ordinance.
 The plan which Chief Bodeker has instructed his officers to follow is that no machines are to be stopped when they are seen violating the speed limit. All the officer does is to note the number of the car. This is given to Barny Phillips, the chief secretary, who mails a formal letter summoning owners to the police headquarters.
 Chief Bodeker talks to the speeders himself and if it is their first ofrense and they promise "to be good" he dfsmisses them. If the violation of the law is the second or third of fense the person is placed under bona and the case is tried before Police Judge Feagin. The judge usually im- poses a fine of $10 or $15.

BATTLESHIPS MAKE
 EXTRA RAPID SPEED

Washington, March 9.-Admiral Schroeder has pleased the navy offi- ciaIs by report on the recent fHll power trials of the battleships com posing the Atlantic fleet off Guantanamo. The remarkable showing was made that ships II years old like the Wisconsin were capable of exceeding their con tract speed, which is regarded as high- testimonial of the efficiency of the engineer forces and the caretakers of the machinery. The general state ment is made that the horse power realized by the fleet exceeded that de- veloped on the contractors trials. al though in the case of the Guantanacfo trials the crews were regular navy men; the ships were all loaded and long out of deck, and the crews were not especially selected.
 Another significant fact Is, 1t IS stated, that the ships are now ready for any kind of service notwithstand- ing the severe test they undergo. The Nebraska appears to hold the speed record at 1911 knots, the Virginia Is second with 19.054 knots and the Geor- gia is third with 19G03 knots an hour.
 The Vermont made the lowest rec ord with 1874 knots an hour.

O'NEAL MEN TO CONFER

We want to make this the most unani- nous victory ever given a candidate for governor" was the statement of the O'Neal central campaign committee which met in Birmingham yesterday. '"rhe victory is already conceded said Chairman Lee Long, but Emmet ONeal is to be the governor of the people Of Alabama, and we expect to give him such huge majority that the amend ment will really be dead forever
 The committee held g. long meeting yes terday, with Frank P. Glass, Col. w. F. Garth, James Wcatherly and Lee Long present. Byrd Farmer of Houston, the other member, missed his connec- ton at Montgomery.
 The committee formulated plans for the rest of the campaign, which will be an nounced in due time It was decided to begin immediately a speaking campaign, using about a dozen of the best men on the stump. The committee will pre- pare an address to the voters of Ala bama, which will probably be given out after the meeting of the committee next Wednesday.
 Byrd Farmer telephoned last night that Houston county and all it's neighbors in east Alabama will come up for O'Neal with largely increased majorities over the amendment result. He said the spirit is almost unanimous over that whole coun- try.
 An interesting letter was received yes terday from a prominent citizen of Bibb county, who said that Bibb was not only the banner county in the amendment fight, but would bring up the banner majority for O'Neal this time.
 Senator White of Goodwater was in the Morris hotel lobby last night with a good cigar in his mouth. and he re- ported that the same bright conditions prevail in Coosa. Sheriff Chambless of Autauga county brought an optimistic re- port to headquarters. Conditions could not be better for our candidate" he said, ..as he is growing stronger every day. Col.

NEW PHONES FOR
 WEST ALABAMA
Bell Company Extends It's Long Dis- tanee Lines Through Walker, Fay
 cite, Marion and Lamar.

Hello, Walker. Fayette, Marion and Lamar countiesl
 The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company announces the opening of new long distance line from Car bon Hill, in Walker county, to Guin and Sulligent Stations have been installed at Glen Allen and Winfield. Contracts have been closed with the local com panies operating at Guin and Sulligent for connection with this long distance service. At Guin this line will connect with a line running from Guin to Hamil- ton, thus bringing the county seat of Marion in communication with the out side world over the long distance.
 Lines will radiate from Guin. Sulligent. Winfield and Glen Allen, connecting up settlements. villages and farm houses and in this way large sections of Walker. Fayette, Marion and Lamar counties heretofore isolated so far as long dis tance connection is concerned are brought in direct touch with other sections of the state and with the country at large. This is only another instance illustrating how rapidly the Bell Telephone com pany is extending it's connections through out Alabama and the south. reaching the small towns, settlements, crossroads and farm houses.
