 l. " Norwell, national bank ex- aTaiser, is in the city today on his regular trip through the territory. Mir. Norwell has his hearquarters in Ei Paso and his working territory reaches froIu Yuma, Ariz., to Sabinal. Tex. including nearly two hundred national banks. He is regarded as one of the best examiners who ever covered this section of the country.
 Mr. Norwell stated this morning that the national banks in Arizona and New Mexico are in excellent con dition, but that crop failures for two years in West Texas had diminished deposits and increased loans m that section
 Mir. Norwall stated that there was abundance of money now in banks to accommodate all legitimate demands for business enterprises. but that there was a wise disposition on the part of the banks to refuse loans for speculative investments in luxuries, such as automobiles. He thinks the financial condition of the country gen erslfy is in excellent condition.

WILL TRY OIL
(Donglas International.l ,

'OOQStdS inttTHhIAO1dl-t
 Douglas is to see experiments with an oiled street. according to w. NJ. Adamson, head of the Arizona Gyp- sum Plaster company. He stated to- day that he would oil Railroad ave nEe and Nineteenth street as far as houses extended with heavy oil and see whether this would not end any objection to the use of the traction engine in hauling the wagons loaded with gypsum between the quarry and the plant
 This is an experiment" said MT. Adamson today. The oil will have to be brought from California for the Texas oil is not of heavy enough gravity for the oiling down of streets. In California the oiled roads are a great success. dust is kept down and the roads remain firm and hard sur faced. We will see how it works here. It will cost us about $200, but if 1t is satisfactory the expense will have been warranted It will cost the city nothing and Douglas will have the benefit of the experiments which will be made.
 There are many who have advocat. ed the oiling of the streets in the city instead of watering them to the extent that is now done, and have claimed that it would in the end be a saving of moeny and would abate the dust nuisance as well. The result of he coming experiments may therefore mean changes for the city.

NEGRO'S EVIDENCE
 IS DISAPPOINTING
SAID THAT HE COULD NOT RECALL THAT DEPUTIES CHARGED WITH PEONAGE HAD BEATEN HIM. HEARING CONTINUED

The government, cases against James Patterson and Robert McEwing, charg- ing peonage in connection with a negro. George Shin, were taken up yesterday by Commissioner R. B. Watts. After eX- amining Shin and three other witnesses the cases were passed until next Tues day
 The men were arrested at Calera sew eral days ago upon a charge of peonage. They are said to have captured Shin, beaten him severely and then returned him to a lime kiln to state of peon- age.
 On the witness stand yesterday shin said he could not remember any beating given him by the defendants He tesu- fled that he was struck across the heao with the limb of tree. but that It was simply love taps as he and the men were "chummy.'
 The negro also stated that he did not reouest the arrest of the men and that he was surprised to learn of their nav ing been taken into custody.
 His testimony was very disappointing to the government prosecutors. The ne- gro did not add word to the nearing to assist the government. The other Wit ness examined did not develop any ma terial facts in connection with the case.
 Patterson and McEwing are deputy sheriffs and reside near Calera Their arrest was upon investigations made by Special Agent Barnes or the department of justice. The testimony before MT. Barnes is said to have been widely diff ferent from that offered yesterday.
 The interested parties reside in Calera and left for that city at the conclusion of the hearing yesterday.

BIRMINGHAM LOSES
 BY GRAFT CHARGES
Local Railroad Men Have Con-
 fidence in Rawn
SCOUT SUICIDE THEORY
Think Charges Against Rawn Are Re- nection on Acumen and Judgment of M. H. Smith and N. W.
 Finley

When the celebrated graft cases among the officials of the Illinois Central rail- road came to light recently a plant which would have cost about $500,0o0 was lost to Birmingham forf the present at least
 The Memphis Car company, which has been drawn into the investigations of graft in car building and repairing for the Illinois Central, had determined to erect a shop in Birmingham. At that time business was very good and the fi- nancial horizon loomed ub bright and roseate plat had been seeured-op- tioned-and the plans for the shop were being drawn when the exposure of Pres ident J. T. Harahan and the celebrated detective, William Burns, came out in Chicago. Forthwith the local plans were dropped and Birmingham was the loser of a large pay roll from this manufacture ing plant.
 In this connection it is not generally believed among Illinois Central and Southern railway officers in Birming- ham that the late Ira G. Rawn. president of the Monon railroad, committed suicide. His death, which occurred few days ago in Chicago, has shaken railroad cir cles as perhaps no other incident of the past few years. When Mr. Rawn was last in Birmingham he intimated at that time that he would not be connected with the Illinois Central railroad very long. He knew several months ahead of the announcement that he was to retire from the Illinois Central
 rn., ern railway and Milton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville are accredited with being rather careful when it comes to selecting their executives. The two officers represent directly the owners of the Monon. They selected MT. Rawn af- ter looking over a wide field and the intimation that they secured a person against whom the taint of graft or barest suspicians were directed, it is claimed here, tend, to reflect upin two of the best known railroad men fin the south. They as a matter of course as well as of policy consulted J. T. Harahan of the Illinois Central before they appointed Rawn. If Burns and President Harahan had at that time suspected Rawn the two presi- dents seeking executives would certainly have been told confidentially to let MT. Rawn alone.
 When MT. Rawn retired, as has been stated he was rendered a banquet by President Harahan- and the officers of the Illinois Central At that banquet speeches of the most regretful nature were made all telling how sorry every one was tthat MT. Rawn was to leave. It is not believed here that such regrets would have been directed to a grafter. The memory Of MT. Rawn is respected by many people in Birmingham especially the members of the older family of H.
 inois Central and Southern railroad of ficials, and they regret that such imputa- tions have been cast against man who was noted for his democracy and con- sideraton toward his employees.
 The local railroad people cannot believe that MT Rawn could have taken his own life.

WANTS ENGINEER
 TO PASS ON PLANS

Alderman Mcdowell of Ensley has had prepared an ordinance which he will introduce at the next meeting re- quiring all land companies. in Greater Birmingham to submit their plans and plots of land for subdivisions to the city engineer and City Council for ap- proval before the streets and alleys can be set aside ,
 The object is to preserve the best system of street improvement to rem edy water, sanitary and sewer prob lens before it is too late and to pre- vent the necessity for, condemning al- leys and buying lots to make connec- tions with other subdivisions
 There are 800 applications on file now to condemn lots and alleys, neces- sitated by haphazard methods in lay ing off subdivisions, which are en- tirely out of place, and If the ordi- nance is passed will not be necessary in future" said MT. Mcdowell.

O'NEAL VIGOROUS IN ; DENOUNCING POLICY JOF THE REPUBLICANS Controlled in Alabama By Men Who Are Office Seekers
 or Office Holders
BLACK AND TAN WING
 SEEMS ENTRENCHED
Says Thompson Was Man Chosen Fly Roosevelt to Repudiate the Lilly White- Moyement-No Long
 CT Factor in State

Before leaving Birmingham for his home in Florence, Col. Emmet ONeal, demo- cratic nominee for governor, fired a bomb into the republican camp, calling 1t the 'black and tan party, and declaring that Thompson was Roosevet's leader to re- pudiate the lily white" movement. Colonel O'Neal said:
 "The republican party has ceased to be a political factor in Alabama politics. After the adoption of the present consti- tuition and the elimination of the iguo- rant and purchasable negro voters. it was confidently expected that there would be'two strong political parties in the state. Hon. William Vaughan and other repub- lican leaders undertook to relieve that party of negro influence and to give it standing and power In the state The lily white movement was inaugurated and the largest and most representative re- publican convention ever convened in Alabama met in Birmingham.
 Immediately afterward the senators and representatives in the doubtful states of the west, where the negro vote con- trolled the balance of power, appealed to MT Roosevelt to place the fiat of his disapproval on the movement to reform the republican party in the south.
 They claimed that it would ieopardze party success and make number of doubtful states in the west democratic.
 MT Roosevelt immediately obeyed or ders, repudiated Vaughan and/ placed Joseph o. Thompson and the black and tan republican party in control.
 Since that time the republican party in Alabama has been composed of a select aggregation of office holders. held to- gether by the cohesive power of public patronage. 1t is a close corporation of office-holders and office-seekers, and hence justifies the assertion of Congress- man Hefin that the republican party in Alabama Is now only regarded as a joke
 The great mass of republicans in Ala bama vote the democratic ticket in state elections Those who are republicans from principle, and who know that good government can alone be secured by the control of the democratic party in state affairs, are content to vote their party ticket only in national elections
 This con&tion of affairs will continue as long as the offce-holding faction of the republican party nominates a man for governor who fails to recognize the fact that under the law and constitution of Alabama, the white race Is permanently entrenched in political powern
