bESSEMER UNEASY
 OVER THE LIBRARY
Will the Property Revert to
 Carnegie
VIEWS OF CITIZENS
Formal Report of Chemist Persons on Bessemer Water Supply-ln- teresting Events in Bes-
 semer Society

Bessemer, July 7-(Special.)-The pub lie library. in spite of some general be- lief to the contrary, does not belong to Andrew Carnegie today, as a result of the three months cutoff of the appro- priation by the council last night. The doors will have to be formally closed and the appropriation permanently stopped before the contract made with MT. Car negie that the building would revert to him upon the failure of the city to con- tribute s1Oo0 a year towards it's support as council of a few years ago pledged in the name of the city to do.
 According to a deed held by the Besse- mer Land company. who donated the ground. this ground reverts to them when the building ceases to be used as H. brary.
 The Rev. D. P. Taylor of the board of directors of the library, stated today that the library will continue for two weeks at any rate as Mayor Lewis had advised him that the council might re- scind their action of last night and make other arrangements for continuing the library. The money necessary for the support of the library during this period will be recommended to be paid, in the event of the council standing pat. by the council in communication from the mayor. Meanwhile, the directors will hold a called meeting and propose a cam paign to arouse sufficient public interest to induce the aldermen to change their ruling.
 G. R. Lewis, another of the directors, is in favor of the library reducing ex- penses for the three months and pay ing all absolutely necessary disLurse- ments with borrowed money, according to a statement made by him today. At any rate, nothing definite can be done until the council meets and that will be on July IT.
 The sentiment of the citizens at large is divided and a hard fight is antici- pated by those in sympathy with the library.
 l.. l.. Lockwood, well known attor- ney, stated this morning that it was Q matter of common knowledge among the members of his profession that the library was a reliable source of in- formation orspoints of law sometimes not obtainable in an ayearge law library. He greatly depored the pro posed cutting off of this aid, as do many readers of current fiction, which is well represented on the shelves of the library.

CABINET USES THE

Washington, July 7.-When the members of the cabinet went struggling into the executive offices today they found the temperature of the cabinet room, in spite of all that anxious doorkeepers and elec- tric fans could do to keep it down, well up in the s0s They sat in uncomfortable leather chairs, perspiring freely and mak- ing more or less vehement remarks about the weather, and when the President en- tered he found so much heat that he immediately issued an executive mandate that the session be held in his private of- fee. This office is cooled by breezes from a ton of ice stored beneath it. The refrigerating apparatus keeps the ther- mometer down around the so mark and makes it easier for the President than for Congress to contemplate the probable date of adjournment.

STATE OWNS MUCH
 VALUABLE LAND Martin Says They Intend to Look After Alabama's
 30O,00O Acres

? w I. Martin, state land agent of Alabama, has been spending few days fin and around Birmingham looking into the status of the state lands in Jeff ferson and adjoining counties. He left yesterday for Montgomery, and just be- fore leaving said;
 T am having the hearty support of the county officials in getting the state lands in shape and bringing about a proper recognition of the peoples rights in them. There are lands be- longing to the state in every county, and many acres have been settled on by people who hold no legal title and in some instances timber has been cut, and coal and ore mined without au- thority.
 "Tt Is my purpose to clear up the title of all lands belonging to the state. that all the people may have the benefits therefrom and not the in- dividual squatter. There are 3oo'0oO acres of land owned by the state.
 Such a vast domain as 30o,0O0 acres ought to appeal to the people of Ala hama, as 1t surely will, when 1t Is re- membered that the land is held by the state for the benefit of the common schools.
 .I hope the time will come when no trespass on any of these lands will go unreported. The people who know these lands are the ones directly interested and whose children will be benefited.
 ''It is the policy of the present admin istration to preserve every foot of the land. but if sold 1t will be with the con- sent of the people wherever it is located. This is trust property, and the state the trustee. Should the state not be faith full to her trust?
 "Then it may not be generally known that the United States government owns gO. oO0 acres of land in Alabama. Some of it can be sold under the stone and timber act, but most of it has been set aside for forest reserve and cannot be
