O'NEAL WIRES OF CONNECTS ON ROADS
BELIEVES THEY COULD NOT HE USED AS CONSTITUTION STANDS, BUT WOULD FAVOR TT IF COURTS ARE IN ACCORD

Replying to telegram of inquiry rel ative to his position regarding the em- ployment of state convicts on improve ment of public roads, sent to the O'Neal state headquarters in Birmingham Tues day by James B. Drake, president Of the State Federation of Labor, and w. A. Morris of the State Farmers union, Col. Emmet O'Neal wired yesterday that he favors the use of the state convicts on such employment of state convicts now would be contrary to the constitution.
 The telegraphic inquiry was received at the O'Neal state headquarters Tuesday. It reads as follows: Hon. Emmet O'Neal Our people favor convicts placed at work on public roads in Alabama. An swer at once at our expense giving your views on that question" Signed. James B. Drake, president of the State Fed eration of Labor, and w. A. Morris. State Farmers union.

If the courts should hoid that under section 93 as amended. the state could use its conyicts on pubic roads, and the legislature should pass a b,ll for such purpose, 1t would be in ac- oo'N 'EMMET O'NEAL."

BANKHEAD IS PLEASED WITH ALABAMA'S SHARE

Mobile d 27-foot channel. All of this work is to be completed in four years.
 Everyone in Washington was up in the air when I left" he continued, when asked about national affairs. ''The recent elections, the announcement of Aldrich and Hale that they would retire, and the general feeling of fear among the republicans is a good indication. The ooncensus of opinion in Washington is that the tide has turned, We confidently believe that the next House will be dcm- ocratic. and expect to gain several new senators.
 Congress is moving slowly and seems in no hurry. Taft is unable to get hold on the situation, and it is quite likely that matters will drag along until the appropriations are through and the Con gress may abruptly adjourn
 Colonel Bankhead will remain in Bir- mingham until Saturday and will spend all of next week at the reurfon. He is accompanied here by his two sons, Will liam B. and John H. BankPead.

POSTPONED TAG DAY WILL
 BE HELD NEXT SATURDAY

The board of governors of the Birming- ham Boys club have completed their plans for Tag Day, which was postponed until next Saturday. It will be remem- bered that last Saturday was the date originally set but on account of the rain storm, which continued practically all day, it was decided early in the morning to postpone the work until this coming Saturday.
 A number of tags were sold before the postponement was declared but the ladies have expressed the hope that the pur chasers will not present their ''rain checks" when approached again but will

Senator John IT. Bankhead reached Bir- mingham from Washington yesterday aft ernoon. He is taking but F days away from his official business to devote to his campaign for reelection, and half of that time will be given to the reunion at Mobile.
 ''I left yesterday as soon as the rivers and harbors bill was passed, but will re- turn to Washington immediately after the primary" said Senator Bankhead. "There seems to be a general misunderstanding about our part of the special approprla- ton. Alabama gets ir cash and con- tinuing contracts over s3500,000. of which two and a quarter million Is in cash.

have torn them up. They believe that the work of the Boys club is such that the few who purchased tags last Satur- day morning will be willing to buy two tags for so worthy a cause.
 In Ensley and Pratt City the ladies worked all day last Saturday in spite of the rain, and those two suburbs will not be tagged again this year. It is hoped that Blrmingham's contributions will be generous this year as the demands upon the Boys club are growing constantly and the Tag Day receipts are practically the only source of revenue which the ladies have for meeting the years ex- penses.

conference today between King

There was no concealment of the

HE TURNS BILL DOWN.
Dreaming Fails to Collect Account
Against City.

A bill against the city for 1888 was
turned down by City Auditor WATSON
today-the bill being presented and
o. KID by ex-City Attorney Dreaming,
who has ben engaged as special coun-
sci for the city in the City of Topeka
VS.. Hanley & Richie contracting firm
for the Sixth ward sewer trouble.
1t seems that not long ago Mr.. Dren-
ming had turned in a bill amounting
to $150.2S which was marked as the
last estimate and stated that the con-
tract was completed. This bill was
paid by the city. Then another esti-
mate come in for twelve more feet of
hole digging-Mr. Dreaming had to dig
ohles for soundings- the price
was charged as $19.S3.
The city auditor claims that $3.50
should be allowed if the holes were
really dug, because the contract price
was 40 cents a foot for the digging of
these holes. It seems that the ex-city
attorney gave the city credit for paying
S135.25 when it should have been
S150.S3.
1t doesn't make any difference
whether you have figured out this
tangle or not Anyway, the bill was
turned down and the hole diggers Sc
verely criticised for not being more
diligent and careful in making their
estimates

anty law.
Mr.. Jackson also wired the bank
commissioner the following extract
from Judge Hooks opinion.
THE state did not single out Ma
tional banks as the special object of
hostile or discriminative legislation
and no such conclusion can be helped
out by averrments of intention in a
bill of complaint. If their contention
is sound and the statute falls then
all state legislation designed to- i'm
prove banking methods and maintain
the local institutions on a sound basis
and secure the depositors is likewise
void indeed it will be impossible to
uphold even the creation of banking
corporations by the states. To state
the proposition .contended for is to
demonstrate its unsoundness. We
think the objections they urge are
clearly without foundation. The tenn
porary injunction was improvidently
granted. 1t is accordingly vacated

HOUSE IS RANSACKED.
Burglar Enters Milan Home ON West
Fifth Street.

While Mrs. Grace P. Milan, 1914
West Fifth street. was out driving,
Tuesday night. someone entered the
house, after breaking in the front
door and, after ransacking every nook
and corner. left. apparently without
having taken anything. The case was
not reported to the police. The near
burglary occurred within few doors
of the residence of Sergeant Frank
SUNNI ers of the police force.
That the persons entering the house
made a thorough search is indicated by
the fact that even the bed clothes were
thrown aside and the mattresses of
the beds searched for valuables. The
attempted burglary was discovered
when the family returned from a mo-
tor ride
