 Commissioner Lane said, upon being questioned at the station, relative to the excise commission
 Tt is entirely unnecessary for me 10 say that the department of justice the Birmingham commission and the excise commission will work in absolute har- mony The appointees are all men of fine character whose integrity cannot be questioned. Chairman Agee is a man of strong character, who has long been a resident of this city. l am very much gratified that he was appointed. MT. Wilkerson and MT. Moore are both men of strong character, utterly above ie- proaoh, and they will serve the city we'll. For the city of Birmingham, I believe they will be absolutely fair. The list of names presented was gone over care fully and I am sure no better selection could have been made than the three men who are to have charge of the i'm portant work before them. I am truly eratified that it may be said that the governor has fulfilled his pledge to the people of Birmingham The appointees are very satisfactory to the city com missioners.''
