SEALS DISCUSSES PLANS
Says They Hope To Have Special Men
 Detailed For Crusade V

Police Commissioner Carl Seals, who was quoted yesterday with reference to the manner in which women of bad char acter have overrun the city, stated that he did not say that he thought the reign 'of vice in Birmingham worse than ever before. In discussing the matter yester- day Mir Seals said:
 Chief Bodeker is giving the merchants and residents of Birmingham better pro- tection than ever before. and is prose- cutting the criminal class with his usual zeal. It has been impossible during the last few months for the department to keep close eye on every class of vio- lations while so much time has been re- quired in running down blind tigers and prohibition vic ators.
 Tn asking for a special meeting of the police commission I intend to ask that some of the men who have been detailed on blind tigers be instructed to prosecute the houses of ill fame which have become ESQ numerous outside the restricted area, e&d to get the women of bad character P4s the streets. This will require a spe- tiA1. detail of the best men on the force, &or it requires the best evidence to get 4 conviction.''

POWELL TALKS OF
 TAX COMMISSION Much Gossip About Probable
 Appointments POWELL TO HOLD PLACE Oakley To Head Convict Board and Bowman Sure To Be Back Tax
 Commissioner Of Jeff
 fersOn County
POWELL TO HOLD PLACE

| State Tax Commissioner John B. Powell of Greenville. one of the two members of the state commission who is slated to be retained by the incoming administration, was visitor in Birmingham yesterday and spent some time conferring with | friends.
 MT. Powell is one of the most popular men in the state. He has made an en- viable reputation as tax commissioner, and since he has to his credit the fact thak he was warm supporter of Emmet | o'Neal there appears little doubt but that he will retain his place on the commits sion.
 "The tax commission,' said MT. Powell, 'has become a big wheel in the life of the state and is now indispensable. The corporations who were disposed to fight it in the beginning are now all in favor of it, because it gives them justice from | disinterested parties.'
 MT. Powell would not discuss the propo- sition to do away with the back tax com missioners. He states that these com missoners work under the state commits sion, and all their actions have to be finally approved.
 l MT. Powell has for the past several years been especially assigned to the work in Jefferson county. He is an ex- pert in land matters, has previously been the representative Of big lumber com panies in south Alabama in buying tim real land values than any other man in | the state.
 | It is understood that MT. Powells col league, Harvey E. Jones of Mobile, will be continued in office. The position of Chairman Mitchell will be filled by Alex Walker of Florence, if he will accept 1t, and if not by some other prominent lO'Neal man.
 Political conversation around town now centers entirely upon appointments. James Oakley for president of the convict board now seems a certainty, with Len H. Grier of Choccolocco as a sure choice for one os the associate members, while the others are still unsettled.
 There Is no longer any doubt about the fact that Joseph Scully will be appointed adjutant general. Another positive fact i3 the appointment of P. G. Bowman as back tax commissioner from Jefferson county. Fred Wall of Athens is the only l prominent name mentioned for immigra- tion commission. though Lee Cowart ot Jefferson has been mentioned in that con- nection if he does not become private secretary.
 The question of a private secretary seems to be still up in the air, though Colonel O'Neal will probably make an an- nouncement of that appointment in a short time. For the others the governor will wait until atfer his inauguration.

PLAN CHANGES IN .
 AUTOMOBILE LAWS
Bill Has Been Drawn To Have All Machines Licensed By State and
 Under It's Control

The main provision of a state automo-
 bile law to be introduced in the next leg islature by Frank Stollenwerck, represen- | submitted to Jefferson county representa- | tives-elect. and probably to the future
 lawmakers of every county of the state. The bill. it is stated, is copied after the
 New York automobile law. and will be represented, according to the claims, to parity with other states in the union. The present state law, it is argued, is farcical, Its chief provision being that no auto mobile shall be driven in the state faster than eight miles per hour.
 If the Stollenwerck bill becomes law law each automobile owned in the state will be registered through the probate judges of the counties with the state au- thorities and will be licensed. Another provision permits automobiles owned in other states to be driven through this
 state without the payment of a license
 or without registration. provided such cars are registered in the state wherein they are owned.
 fig the Stollenwerck bill becomes law 1t is pointed out that the license now de- manded of automobile owners by city governments will become a dead letter. This would deprive Birmingham of a lu- crative source of revenue.
 In the new bill there is no reference to the speed limit. It is provided, however,
 that it will be a violation of the law to drive an automobile recklessless at all times. and at high speed through the streets of cities
