RAISE OBJECTION
 ID LIBRARY FUND
DALLAS COUNTY HAS AN EYE ON SELMA AND PROTESTS AGAINST THE BILL FOR CAR NEGIE LIBRARY

Selma, February 14.-(Special)-A a mittee of Dallas county held today that body unanimously adopted resolutions pe- titioning the Dallas county representatives in the legislature to defeat the bill which has been introduced in the upper house by Senator Atkins of Dallas for the coun- ty to appropriate 5000 a year to the Selma Carnegie library.
 The bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Atkins upon the request of President Ernest Lamar of the Carnegie Library association Principal Harmon or the Selma public schools, and with the sanction of Prof. D. M. Galloway, super intendent of education of Dallas county
 Since the call for the meeting of the committee some days ago it has been recognized that the matter at issue was not a political one.
 After the session B. F. Ellis of Orr vile read a long set of resolutions pro- testing against the passage of the bill They set forth that the appropriation would eventually prove a burden to the taxpayers of the county and that the li- brary is an institution beneficial to the residents of Selma alone Many other material reasons were also advanced in the resolutions
 w. c. Billingsley of Browns, J. B. Chis- holm of Marion Junction., B. F. Ellis of Orrville and others spoke upon the ques- ton. MT. Ernest Lamar, president of the Selma Library association, spoke in behalf of the measure which has been introduced in the senate. He outlined the origin of the Selma library and how the donation had been secured from Carne- gie. With the passage of the introduced bill and the assistance of the county, she said. was proposed to purchase many new books upon all technical branches which would be accessible to teachers and stu dents in country rural schools. The books being transferred monthly from one school to another and always for the benefit of country children. A letter from c. w. Hooper, one of the most prominent res idents of Selma, indorsing the bill which has been introduced was then read. A vote upon the resolutions introduced by B. F. Ellis was then put and they were adopted unanimously. After the meeting Mr. Lamar stated that he would ask Senator Atkins to have the bill killed be- fore it could be introduced in the legis- lature.
 After being under water Tor more than two weeks, the body of Claiborne Manas- ses Jones, a negro who committed suicide on January 2S by jumping from the bridge at the foot of Washington street into the Alabama river, was found today near Claiborne, Wilcox county, only few miles from where he was born.
 Tn negro was one of the best known characters of Selma and for years worked around the newspaper and printing offices of the city. On two occasions last year he jumped from a window in the rear of the Selma Times building into the Alabama river, 70 feet below. Injuries received in these jumps are believed to have caused dementia.

ANOTHER CHANCE
 FOR NEWSPAPERS
Senate Measure Is Yet to Come Up for Consider
 ation By House

Montgomery, February 14-(Special) Defeat of the Williams newspaper pass bill in the house of representatives this afternoon does not necessarily mean that the editors will be denied that con- cession In exchange for advertising. Several weeks ago the senate passed by a narrow margin of one vote a bill with similar clauses, though more extended privileges, which Is now in the hands Of the committee on commerce and common carriers in the lower house. That bill extends the concession to the newspaper men, but it at the same time allows the same privilege to sheriffs and their deputies, and to widows of employees and to others remotely identi- fled with the railroad interests.
 Nine chances out of ten are that the senate bill will be adversed by the com mittee in view of the houses action on the Williams measure. but there is all ways the remote possibility that d cataclysm of some kind may occur which may result in passage of the senate bill. -.
 When the bill was first introduced III tlie Seudle II eXIenueQ tHt lIdHhS only to the newspaper men, but was amended in committee to include the sheriffs and deputies, in view of bill to that effect which was also with the committee. When the third reading was given to the measure in the upper house it was opposed on the ground, chiefly, that the sheriffs and their deputies should not be included The Williams measure, as a consequence, was introduced to remedy that alleged fault.
 Report of the committee on com merce and common carriers has been delayed in the house owing to the fact that the Williams bill was pending. It was taken that if the Williams measure should pass the house, the senate bill could be amended so as to conform to it. Defeat of the measure, however, will make the whole weight of relief devolve upon the senate document, which IS ai- ready burdened beyond it's strength with the shrievalty saddle.
 Undoubtedly the country editors are going to fight for the senate measure to the last ditch, but whether or not they will prevail Is extremely uncer- tain. The bitterness injected in the house debate today, when 1t was sug- gested that the privilege might be put to corrupt uses, is believed to have brought out the full voting strengtn pro and con the bill. Members not present at today's session, however, might hold the deciding power, ana make the senate measure a victor.

 STREET CLOSING

That the measure before the legs- lature in reference to closing the streets in the viaduct agreement would be re- ferred to the people for their vote upon 1t, was the general impression of the Birmingham people who came back from the capital last night. It was stated that a well defined movement started in Montgomery last night to permit the question of closing the streets to be referred to the voters of Birmingham for final. settlement.
 Col John W. Tomlinson of this city. who is the attorney for some property owners opposed to the closing of the streets requested by the railroads, said that while he did not know what the final result would be- he thought the question of street closing would even- tually be put up to the voters.
 Colonel Tomlinson said:
 Tn MT. Percyjs commission bill it is noted that before any franchises ars given corporations that the people must vote upon them. The legislature in the viaduct bill only gives the coun- Gil power to grant the closing of the streets. The legislature does not take the responsibility So it has been sug- gested that the council be given the power to close them, and then for the council to ask the people about what should be done. I think the outcome will be pretty near that suggestion. Such action would be in line with MT. Percy's commission provision.

DIPLOMATS TALK
 AT CONFERENCE

Washington, February 14.-Practical Information that Is calculate dto be in- trumental in extending the trade of l the United States with every country
 of the western hemisphere was ex- changed at today's session of the Pan-
 American Commercial conference by the diplomatic representatives of Central and South America, United States con- suls and hundreds of American busi- ness men.
 Scores of inquiries pertinent to the selling methods and local trade condi- tions of various countries were answer ed by experts attaching to the Pan American union, and suggestions for trade development likewise mere made ito the many representatives of large American manufacturing houses. Among the speeches made by mem bers of the Latin-American diplomatic corps significant interest was derived from the address of Senor Felipe Pardo. the Peruvian minister to the United States. who said that reciprocity with South American co; ,dtriss would be timely now and coue4 be accomplished by balancing the adn: rsalor of agricul- tural and mineral p uucis from South America into the s~ States with lower tariffs on the~ If American manufacturers into " Ii American re- publics.
 Senor Rojas, the a an minister to the United State particular reference in is address political dis turbances in South Am a.
 T would aim to sl0a ,e said, "that the stability aehievea hile and the progress attained by rgentne re- public, Brazil and Nc: are not ex- captions to the rule .si sample of what Latin America on eha.tble of ac- complshing and of s1d itsFt will un- doubtedly accomplishsss DO Lay country can say that polit -ss icissitudes have never altered tro st charac- ter of our market"
 Senor Arizaga, minassef i, the Uni ted States from EcuauoI, spoke Of the advantages of the oppening of the Pan anna canal would have for countries on the western coast of South America.
 We want to deal with our brothers not with our cousins across the At lantic,v said J. P. Santa Marina of Buenos Ayres. "Send your commercial agents to South America and we will pay you dividends that England, Ger many and France are now receiving.

CRJJMPTON HOPES
 FOR THE BEST

Andalusia, February 14-(Special)-Rev. w. B. Crumpton,/ president of the Anti Saloon league. delivered lecture on tenn pcrance at the Baptist church last night. He told about the fight that he has been making against whisky for the past SO years.
 Referring to pending measures in the legislature, the speaker said: As you all know, the house has passed what IS known as the Parks bill. This Dill mas been sent to the senate and will be re- ported by the senate committee some time during the present week. l do not believe that the senate committee will report the Parks bill. I think that, an- other bill will be substituted byi the committee and will pass the senate, and will have to go back to the house. All of this will consume time. If we can stave off local option for the present the prohibition laws are safe.'

ID RAISE RATES ON ALABAMA COAL Will Affect AnnistOn-Ga C ads
 den Industrials HARD FIGHT COMING Railroads Claim That 50 Cents a Ton Is Too Low-Has Been in
 Effect for Nearly Twen-
 ty Years
HARD FIGHT COMING

l Montgomery. February 14.-(Special.) Great interest is being manifested in l the petition of the Alabama Great Southern and the Central of Georgia railroads and other railroads of the state for a change of rate on coal shipped from the Birmingham district l to Anniston. Gadsden. Talladega and other towns included in that circuit. The petition of the Southern railway was presented before the Alabama rail- road commission at their last meet ing.
 The present rate which obtains on coal shipped to the numerous indus trial plants in the Anniston Gadsden circuit Is 50 cents per ton. The rail- roads want to charge higher rate on fuel shipped to all plants save those which manufacture pig iron and kin. dred products.
 The petition for this change of rate on fuel is regarded as the most inn portant matter which has been before the commission in a number of years. Should the railroads obtain their re- quest 1t is understood that between 50 and 75 large manufacturing plants in the Anniston- -Gadsden circuit will be affected.
 Heads of industries in Talladega, Cal houn. Etowah and St. Clair counties, which are included in the Anniston- Gadsden circuit are vita1ly interested IT. the question and they will use every possible effort to defeat the contem- plated increase in coal rate. They re- gard the exception which the railroads are making on pig iron industries as discriminatory and they claim that the increase will work considerable hard. ship.
 The present rate of 50 cents per ton on coal shipped to industrial plants in the Anniston- -Gadsden circuit has obtained for nearly 20 years. The rate was first allowed the pig iron indus tries. the railroads claiming that these plants had to use a larger quantity of fuel than the other manufacturing es- establishments. On petition of the other industries. however. the railroads al- lowed them the same rate. That was nearly 20 years ago and since that time a large number of flonrishing in- dustries have begun operation in An niston, Gadsden and other towns in that territory.
 It Is claimed on the part of these industries. which will be affected by the change in rate, that there Is no need for an increase: that there Is no reason why the same rate should not be continued which has obtained for more than 15 years. A fight will be made. therefore, to maintain the pres ent rate, and 1t Is probable that the matter will be before the railroad com mission for the next few months
