JUDGE ALMON IN
 CITY YESTERDAY
EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE IN BEING ELECTED SPEAKER OF THE NEXT HoUsE-DIsCUssEs THE BEN TAIL LY LITIGATION

Judge A. B. Almon, one of the best known attorneys in the state. and a mem her of the legislature was in Birmingham yesterday. He said the case of Ben Tal- iy against the Illinois Central railroad for s100,oO0. which ended in a verdict for the railroad company, would be appealed 10 the circuit court of appeals. Judge Al mon said arrangements to that end were teing mapped out and that the court of last resort would certainly be called upon to pass on the case. Judge Almon said the case would be taken up on the ground that the court erred in permitting the jury to inspect work personally which called for expert knowledge in classif- cations. He stated that in permitting the jurors to look at the work they were transformed into experts which was an fmpossibility. He is associated with Gen. Luke E. Wright and Caruthers Ewing of Memphis in the litigation.
 In talking of home affairs, Judge Almon said he was sure to be elected speaker of the next House of Representatives. He is opposed by J. Lee Long and two others
 'rhe general idea that Governor O'Neal will assist MT. Long or any candidate is erroneous said Judge Almon.
 'He is here with me today. He and are as warm friends as one could find in a days journey, and he tells me that ab- solutely no interference will be made by him in the selection of a speaker.

UPON TAFT
 NOT COUNTENANCED

St. Louis. November 26-An attack on President Taft was thwarted at the nnai session of the I1akes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway association convention here this afternoon after the resolutions com mittee had asked approval of it's report Friends of the chief executive rushed to the platform and appealed to the dele gates to eliminate what Governor Deneen of Illinois termed "an insult" After two hours of warm discussion the objection abIe section was stricken out. The sec tion which caused the heated debate fol- lows:
 And in bitter disappointment and in sorrow we are compelled to deplore the course of the executive in delaying the creation of the board provided for In the last rivers and harbors art, and In finally appointing a board which proved un- friendly to our policy and our project, de- spite our patriotic effort to aid him by in- formation concerning the physical and commercial conditions better known to us than to others"
 As soon as Alex T. Scott of Memphis. chairman of the committee, completed the reading of the resolutions, R. R. Bor- land of Peoria. ILL, made an amendment striking out the section. He said that as the board has not yet reported, It IS nor known that the report on the Missis- sippi river waterways will be unfavor- able.
 Leo Rasseur of St. Louis. In defending the resolutions, said the President had delayed the appointment of the engineers for five months, and that two of the army engineers on the board were known to be unfrlendly to the waterway when Borland withdrew the amendment Con- gressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri renewed 1t.
 Congressman Bartholdt said the section did an injustice to the President, that MT. Taft, by the wording of the act, was compelled to name the chief of the en- gineers of the army as one or the poaro. He appealed to the convention to vote to eliminate the harsh and untrue words.
 Congressman H. T. Rainey of Illinois made a bitter attack on the army en- gineers as a whole, and said the men on the board were prejudiced against the waterway. He said the resolution as read should be adopted.
 Congressman Rainey closed the debate by seconding Congressman Bartholdrs amendment and remarking that "the pow CTS now have a salutary warning. Other resolutions which were adopted demand of Congress o waterway con- meeting the great lakes with the Gulf or Mexico as the main artery of our navi- gation system to provide for an initial derth of not less than IA feet with lock sills adapted to depth Of not less than 24 feet And we hold" the sec ton read that the advocacy of any less depth by federal engineers had arisen in desire to circumvent our efforts by an inadequate system of commercial navi- gatlon."
