 GENERAL MANAGER
President Curran Names Him AS Successor To the Late Major
 Anderson

E. M Tutwiler, Jr,, has been appointed general manager of the Alabama State Land company, to succeed the late Maj Frank Y Anderson. He has been acting as assistant general manager for some time.

NO MORE SPEECHES C
 GRACE FRONT PAGE

Washington, August l0-Senators and representatives no longer will have the pleasure of seeing their speeches grace the front page of tn Congressional Rec ord. rule has been adopted and put in- to force whereby the regular Senate pro- ceedings must have first place in the rec ord to be followed by the House proceed ings, and speeches which have been with. held for revision must tag on at the end. Formerly speeches of this sort had every right of way over the report of regular proceedings. and in many in. stances members have held their speeches for week or more so that they might occupy conspicuous place on the front page of the record.

EXUM'S VIEWS
Thinks City Employees Should Not Be
 Disturbed By Talk of Election

President Culpepper Exum of the com mission said yesterday that there was no election of city officials slated for Sep tember or any other time, and that to keep the city employees disturbed as to that proposition was detrimental to the service.
 "rhe employees of the city who are dis charging their duties should not be dis turbed by any suggestion that an elec- tion will be held at any time" said MT. Exum.
 ''There is no absolute necessity for any election, and so long as the employees do the right thing they have their positions. can readily see that continual sugges- tions that the elections will be held at a certain time suggests ito the employees the proposition of whether they will be retained.
 Good men hard to get, and those that the city employees that are good need fear no date for their election. They are elected now. This is not idealism; it is facts"

NEW MINE PRISON
 WILL COST $15,OOO
Pratt Company Announces Work Will Begin At Once
 on New Structure

F Following closely upon the announce ment that Banner mines and prison had been leased to the state of Alabama is the official announcement of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company that orders were placed yesterday for lumber and materials with which to erect perhaps the most modern prison in the state. The cost will be in the neighborhood of s15,00o.
 w. A. Gibson, manager of prisons for the Pratt company, said yesterday that 1t was possible that the new prison would be located at Flat Creek. which Is eight miles from Banner mine on the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. The new prison will be fashioned after the modern mine stockade at Banner, differing cnly in the fact that it will be still more mod ern than the Banner structure.
 MT. Gibson said the prison would be of concrete and equipped with every modern device for the safety and the health of the county convicts who are kept at the prison.
 The new prison will be located adjacent to the mine opening. It will have a large number of baths attached, and each pflS- oner will be required to take at least one bath per day as he leaves the mine. The prison will have attached to 1t a veget- able garden where all the truck con- stunned by the inmates will be raised. Electric lights, airy sleeping rooms, and opportunities for recreation will be pro- vded the inmates.
 The county convicts, numbering about 250, who are now imprisoned at Banner, will be taken from that mine to the new opening by the Pratt Consolidated com pany. Their places will be supplied by the state. The appointment of warden for the state prison is expected to be made within very short time by James G. Oakley, president of the board of con- victs.

DROPS DEAD WHILE
 ON N0RW00D CAR
AndersOnLeOnard Was Late To Work and Ran To
 Catch the Car

Anderson Leonard, the night operator at the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company car barns. dropped dead yesterday afternoon at SEQ o'clock on a Norwood car at Thirty-second street and Twelfth avenue, north. The man was 63 years old. He was on his way to his work and had hurried to catch the car It is thought that his death was due to this over-exertion, which brought about heart failure.
 Leonard lived about four blocks from the car line. It seems that he was due at his work at 6 o'clock, but was delayed in some manner. When he saw the Nor wood car at the end of the line he has tened to catch it.
 When he caught the car he inquired of the conductor as to what time the car arrived in town. He was told that the would reach the city at 6:30 and after chatting with the conductor for some time he entered and took a seat.
 The car had quite number of passen- gers, most of whom were women. short while after Leonard took his seat he suddenly fell to the floor and appar- ently died Instantly. The car was at once thrown into the greatest confusion.
 The men on the car gathered around the man and tried to resuscitate him by artificial respiration, but to no avail. A hurry call was answered by Johns, and the man was placed in the ambulance. He was then taken to the undertaking parlors, where his remains are being held pending funeral arrangements.
 Leonard was a man of family. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Susia Leonard one daughter and two sons. The funeral arrangements will be an- nounced later.

 GIVE TESTIMONY
Will Probably Appear Before the
 City Commission At Meeting .a,- Tomorrow

The investigation into the request or the Southern Bell Telephone company for increased rates will be opened in this city perhaps tomorrow when W. T. Gentry of Atlanta, president of that company. appears before the commis- sion for examination.
 Announcement to this effect was made yesterday, it being added that MT. Gentry would be heard as witness for his company because he desires to visit New York for some time and ,wishes to make a plain statement U the commissioners.
 Commissioner Lane of the commits sion said yesterday that upon a re- quest of J. T. Stokeley. attorney for the company, he had agreed to hear Colonel Gentry tomorrow, provided President Culpepper Exum was not engaged. It is understood that MT. Exum has no objections to entering the hearing to- morrow.
 Mir. Stokeley said that he had not fbeen finally advised as to whether Colonel Gentry would be here or not, but he was very sure that the pres 1dent would take the stand because of his desire to leave Atlanta for several weeks.
 The indications are that after the in 4uiry has been started the hearing will be completed within one week. This Is the opinion of Judge Lane. It Is known generally that Commissioner Wealth erly will not take part in the hear dng, having been at one time counsel dor the applicant.
 The report of Auditor Rosser as to the conditions of the company will be taken up as evidence for the city. Tn addition, 1t is said there will be sev- eral witnesses examined under oath as to the condition of the Southern Bell company.
