A resolution was passed ordering

A resolution was offered authoriz-

of the street might be paved, but this
met with opposition, and it was re-

The HOTTEST ELECTION
EVER HELD IN CHICAGO

sor. Both are running on reform
platforms and are believed to be the
men the interests have to defeat.
Other candidates are Carter Harri-
son, Democrat; John Scully and John
smulski, Republicans, and W. e.
Rodriguez, socialist. In the last
election the socialists polled 10000
votes. This election Rodriguez fol-
lowers expect to poll $4,000.
Never in Chicago's tumultous poll
tical history has such mix up been
seen as is being Strengthened out to-
day by the ballots of the voters. Be-
hind the candidate of the interests,
| Graham, is Roger Sullivan, big boss
of the Democratic party in Chicago;
Hearst is backing Harrison; Cover
nor Deneen has endorsed Smu!ski
who is a former state treasurer and
most of the friends of Mayor Busse
are in favor of Scully. The remorm-
ers are divided between Dunno anC
Merriam.
One of the features of the campaign
is a contest in the First ward, where
"Hinky Dink" Michael Kenna is being
bitterly opposed by Colonel Leopol'
Moss for the Democratic nomination
for alderman.

Because of the walkout Of the stu

day, President Homan is asking the
leaders to sign written apology for
violating regulation relative to that

The walkout was caused by the re-
fusal of the faculty to allow the stu

day and consisted in the students de-
serting the institution Immediately
after the chapel service, going out
upon the athletic field and celebrat-

Assigning as the reason that the
Warren Construction company has
not lived up to an agreement made
IN the street committee at public
meeting held about a month ago, the
citv council last evening rejected the
companys bid for the paving of
TWenty-fourth street to Asylum aV-
enue with bitulithic, and the paving
Of Asylum avenue to the asylum
grounds with the same kind of pave
ment. and it begins to look as though
should the company not comply with
all the terms of that alleged agree
ment, that none of it's bids will be
accepted.
Councilman Lafky in making the
motion, did so with the meagre expla-
nation that the company had not
come through according to its
agreement. That brought Council
man Huckestein, who is an advo-
cate OF street improvements, to his
feet in an instant with the remark
that the property owners had petit
toned for me pavement; that they
knew what it would cost, and were
willing to pay it; and it was for them
to protst, and not the city. "Give
them a vote" he said, land If they
are asking for 1t let them have it"
Durbin Explains.
Councilman Durbin stated that The
portion of the agreement that the
company had failed to comply witt
was a clause that it would keep thu
street repaired for a period of ,fiv'
years, without cost to the city. Th,
council had prevailed upon the com
pany to reduce its rates, he said, AM
he believed that one of it's mission
was to look after and protect tn
property owners. He then referred t
Chemeketa street. Here he main
tanned about week ago the concret
men had majority of the signer:
and now the bitulithic people ha
them. He did not desire to make an
charges, he said, but "why thi

that that was his objection to tn
bid, and Councilmsn Elliott move
that the bids be referred to the stree

LOCAL MEN PLAN
 NEW TRUST COMPANY
Proposed to Start With Capital of $1,0OO,OO0-About S25O,OOO Has
 Been Subscribed

The idea of organizing a s1,OOO,00O trust company for Birmingham assumed more definite shape yesterday, when it was re- ported that Gen. l.. V. Clarke, Judge Oscar R. Hundley, pr. G. B. Grove, Frank H. Crockard and others met in- formally and indorsed the idea and some subscriptions were tentatively made.
 It is understood that $2500OO was yes terday pledged to the trust company pro- vided the capital was $1,o0o,0 GOO and it was organized in this city.
 Those who are interested in the pro- posed trust company say that it should be the bankers trust company of Ala hama and that every bank and banker in the state should be given an oppor- tunity to get into the institution. It is argued that in this manner a strong bond of interest would be created among the financial people of the state.
 The tentative plan as outlined calls for the cooperation of all commercial banks of the city and banking circles of Ala bama. It is stated that such an institu- tion would provide a channel of power which would have it's center in Birmne- hom and would perform 'wonders in this city and state.
 It is understood that a meeting of those interested in the formation of the com pany will be held some time soon.

One of the largest crowds gath cred in the history of the association was on hand to take part in the de- Alterations and to join in the cry for better and wiser legislation. The meet ing was presided over by Dr. c. A. Cary of Auburn, who is president oi the association.
 The most important feature of to- days meeting was a discussion of a proposed bill which will be introduced Into the legislature asking the solons to set aside an appropriation of $4O,00O for the purpose of eradicating cattle tick in this state. The bill has already been drafted and Is ready to be sub mitted to the solons. Browning brows bode fight which they are going to make to keep local county legislation out of the halls at the capitol It is understood that number of the legis- lators have drafted bills to put the tick question in the hands of the coun- ty commissioners, rather than of the state board. Should the $40,000 ap- propriation be allowed, however, it is quise probable that some compromise mi int be effected. It is known that the farmers of Alabama are as deep ly interested in the tick question as in any feature of farm life.
 Secretary D. T. Gray of Auburn and Treasurer J. K. Kernachen of Flor ence sub omitted tiher annual reports, in which the work of the association in this, it's fifteenth year, was therough- ly reviewed. It was shown that great progress is being made in live stock matters throughout Alabama.

HILTON THINKS THE
 LAWYERS ARE OBTUSE
Believes Exceptions in Railroad Laws Should Be Made to Apply to
 Newspaper Men

Montgomery. January 13.-(Special )-In the opinion of McLane Triton, president of the Alabama Press association, the lawyers of this state are a poor bunch, indeed. And he makes the statement not because he doubts their wisdom in things pertaining to the law, but because of their poor judgment.
 'It is appalling he says, ito see what a wrong construction they put on our railroad laws, for instance"
 In expatiating upon this, MT. Triton whose chief hobby at the present time Ia to have such an amendment to the railroad laws as will allow passes to newspaper men in exchange for adver- t,sing-comments upon the exceptions written in the passages pertaining to passes. -
 ."These exceptions" MT. Triton says, ..nermit passes to helpless. indigent and non-responsible persons. Of course, the newspaper men of Alabama are in that class.
 "But the lawyers-Lord pity their Juog- ment-can't see things that way"
 Owing to the failure of the constitu- tional authorities to construe the law so as to include the newspaper men, as q consequence, MT. Triton announces that a committee of the association Is now at work to have the passes exchanseo for advertising. He says that he expects the amendment to meet with no mate rial opposition.

 Hector D. Lane of Courtland is popular izing himself among the legislators. he is displaying keen ability in the transaction of his duties, and is ably looking after the bills which he has up his sleeve.
 John H. Wallace. Jr, state fish and | game commissioner, is the most missed figure in the lobby For years MT.

He is fast recovering, but so far has not been able to mix much with the solons, having visited the legis- lature only once since it's convention on Monday.
 Senator Frank S. Moody of Tuscaloosa has by his vote on three appropriation measures registered himself as against such measures. He states that conserva- tism in finance should be considered as synonymous with conservative govern ment.
