SAYS O'NEAL WROTE
 AN, ABLE MESSAGE
w. H. sKAGGs SAYS MESSAGE IS ONE OF THE sOUNDEsT AND MOST sTATEsMANLIKE PAPERS ISSUED IN DECADE

That the inaugural message of Gov. Emrnet ONeal was statesmanlike and one of the abest papers that had been issued in this state in 10 years, was the criti- cism made by w. H. Skeggs, the we'll known Chicago citizen who arrived in Birmingham last night. MT. Skeggs said that every Alabamian should be proud to say that Emmet O'Neal is governor of Alabama
 q believe the message of Governor O'Neal, which 1 read in it's entirety, is extremely able and sound" said MT. Skaggs yesterday. "He handled every subject in a broad, comprehensive man. ner. Every line of his address demon-' strated the fact that Alabama now has governor who is well poised and pos- sessed of a statesmanship wise and dcscreet I would be proud. if I were resident of Alabama, to call Emmet O'Neal my governor If the recommen- dations of the message are carried out
 it spells a new era in affairs for Ala bama. Governor O'Neal demonstrated that he has a broad comprehension or all matters of moment here and has handled, every one of them like a statesman and scholar I do not feel the possibility of successful contradiction if l say ms message is one of the ablest and most remarkable state papers which has been issued in the south in 10 years"
 MT. Skaggs, who is widely known in this state is here on some matters of indus trial development and will be here sev- eral days He said the Lorimer contest before Congress had Chicago wildly ex- cited, and that everyone was watching the senatorial action with decided interest.

WRECK
 REMAINS A MYSTERY

Bay Ninette. January 1s.-Cspecialo Further investiga tions which have been made into the attempt to wreck the special passenger trains on the Louisville and Nashville railroad yes- terday morning have revealed nothing new, and those who are probing the matter are at loss as to what to do. No trail whatever of the culprit can be found and no one has seen any sus- picious character in this vicinity. How ever, continued earch for some clue will be carried on quietly and 1t is hoped that developments may disclose the guilty party.
 The members of the Ella B. Cham bers chapter of the Order of Eastern Star held a public installation of of- ficers in their haIi last night.
 Work has been begun on the farm ers' telephone line from this place along the Brady road. The line will be completed to the one mile post, where 1t will stop for further contracts with the farmers living on that road and in the immediate vicinity.

tent followed. Toasts were drunk and Ely was made a member of the mess. jor O'Neill, in proposing a health to the young aviator. said:
 "Once before MT Ely sailed in an aeroplane from the deck of a war vessel the first time that feast was ever accomplished. Today he landed on the deck of war vessel and not only did he land successfully, but he re- reated his former achievement by fly ing into the air again. This day will mark an epoch in naval history. We cannot say how 1t will affect the army, but here we pledge him.
 After the toast was drunk the offi- cers crowded about the young aviator to hear his account of the trip.
 EIy's Account of Trip
 "The flight to the ship was made under almost perfect weather condi- tions," he said. "th ough l encountered difficulty in approaching the Pennsyl- Nania.
 ''The wind was on the cruisers star board side and to effect safe land- ing I saw it would be upwise to alight squarely on the platform. So, after circling the ships, I came down, quar- tering the platform with my planes pressed as fully into the wind as pos sible.

 Though 1 did not require the full sur face of the 130 foot platform, I do not think a smaller one would be entirely safe for such an experiment am convinced, however. that had the ship been in mo- ton and sailing directly into the wind that my landing on the afterdecll would have been considerably easier
 "On my return trip I had no trouble leaving the hoas-that is a very simple matter"
 This was National Defenders day at the aviation field and the militia had a prominent part in the programme. An interesting military problem involving the use of the aeroplane for scout service was worked out.
 | A sham battle was fought, in which a l force, supposed to be advancing on the city, drove back the defense's outposts and obtained possession of Selfridge Field. In front of the grandstand a wire 1 less tower was erected and Aviator | Charles F. Willard in Curtiss biplane, equipped with wireless instrument, ascended to ascertain the position of the entrenched enemy" and the city ifl- cations

 Tt is possible" responded the other Idaho senator, but it is so improbable that had not thought of It..
 Protest By Hepburn
 This colloquy aroused a burst of laugh ter in the galleries which was displeasing to MT. Hepburn and he protested.
 '.I do not intend,' he said, that the galleries shall determine the merits of this debate by their snickerngs and gig gles
 "I cannot control the chickering's and eisgles," responded MT. Borah.
 eve can, the Senate can, retorted MT. Heyburn, and l give notice that these signs of approval or disapproval VIII not be tolerated.
 Continuing his speech, MT. Borah anal vzed the testimony of the various Wit nesses before the Investigating commit tee. He asserted there had been un- mistakable bribery and that 1t had been shown exclusively that at least four or the Lorimer votes had been obtained by bribery. Instead of regarding the testi- monv as fimsy he thought it surpris-

"The cleo ton could not have been pulled on with- out fixing Mr Browne he said, in home ly phrase.
 Methods Denounced
 In conclusion he denounced the methods attending MT. Lorimer's course in un- measured terms. saying:
 From the hour that the senator from Illinois decided to become candidate the stream of corruption began to flow and it never has ceased. It has come into the courts. It has affected Jurles, II has broken down lawyers, 1t has left broken regulations in its wake. From the beginning there has been evidence or a combination and a well prepared scheme. This was not the resultPf ac- cident but evidence of the organizing ability of powerful mind
