l. !. THOMPSON OFF FOR WASHINGTON! Left Yesterday With Party
 of Adherents SHIFTS THE SCENE Expected That the Rivalry Between Thompson and Barker in Ala
 bama Will Soon Be
 Settled
SHIFTS THE SCENE

The scene of battling between the Re- publican forces led by Joseph O. Thompson of this city against Major P D. Barker of Mobile. which has held at tention of the party men for some few weeks, will be shifted to Washington when MT. Thompson and delegation of his friends arrive in that city this morning.
 MT. Thompson left here yesterday over the Southern railway for Washing ton, accompanied by J. T. McInery, dis trict executive committee chairman; N. l.. Steele. assistant United States dis trict attorney, and it is said, he will be joined byo'other prominent Republican leaders by the time he reaches Wash ington, who are friendly to him.
 It is gathered from the republicans locally that MT. Thompson will consult Frank H. Hitchcock, who managed President Taft's campaign, and perhaps President Taft himself relative to the holding of a convention in this state to name delegates to the national conven- tion. Other details of a state wide nature will be threshed out by MT. Thompson and the national leaders.
 The real reason of the visit to Wash ington of MT. Thompson is said, how ever, to be for the purpose of pressing home to the administration leaders in Washington how thoroughly the Thompson clan threshed the Barkerites at the joint county and district meet ing held here two Saturdays ago.
 It is gathered that President Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock will once and for all choose between the two warning factions If in their opinion . choice is the properi thing to do at this time.
 MT Thompson did not permit his contemplated visit to Washington to leak out. However, yesterday he was missed and inquiry developed the fact that with several companions to back up his position, the collector of internal revenue had hied away to the capital.
 The fight between MT Thompson and Major Barker has been simmering for point was reached few days ago when the meeting of committees was called for Birmingham and MT. Thompson downed the Barker adherents at every turn. Later he and Pope M. Long, who is to oppose Mr. Thompson, signed a statement and the Thompson faction telegraphed to north Alabama point and called off a meeting which had gathered and was going to indorse him.
 The result of the visit of MT. Thomp- son and his friends to Washington Is awaited with keen interest.

Celebration at Odenville

Ragland, July .-(Special)-Ragland had a sane Fourth this year. Last Fourth big barbecue was planned and the meats were ordered, but the rains spoiled the barbecue. so those who helped last year without any results being realized, were somewhat sore over matters. hence there was nothing planned here for this year. But Ragland turned out full-handed at Odenville. where a county reunion of Confederate veterans was held today. A large crowd from various parts of the countv was there.

Bunions are reduced to normal. Sweaty and smelly feet, swollen and tender feet need but few treatments. Calocide formerly used only by, doctors but any druggist now has it in stock or will quickly get 1t. A twenty -five-cent package is claimed to cure the worst feet.

 We have not decided yet about al- lowing the bonds to go entirely to either the people or to the bond houses.

We will get itno that at the meet very much gratified to have the citizens of this city and of Alabama to subscribe to these bonds if the interests of the city can be taken care of in that way.
 At the meeting tomorrow we will talk about the preliminaries surrounding the issue. We have also to decide the de- nominations and to map out other details.

 The commissioners spent the day rather quietly yesterday. They worked very earnestly at the bond election, and were tired out yesterday when at the city hall. President Exum came down with Lestra and "Cullie," his two children, purchased them some flags to wave in honor of the Glorious Fourth and dined at home. He attended the ball game in the afternoon with Senator Gamble and Scudder Ryall, his secretary.
 Judge Lane was at his city hall office at an early hour gossiping about the bond election, attended the short session of the commissioners and moved that an adjournment be taken until today.

MEET AGAIN TODAY

If consistent the s13oo,OO0 bond issue voted Monday may be offered to the peo- pie to be subscribed by them rather than by bond houses. The idea of allowing the people to buy the bonds was suggested yesterday by Commissioner A. o. Lane, who is inclined to that proposition very much if it Is found that the interests of the city will be served by such ac- ton.
 At the meeting of the commissioners to- day that proposition, together with many other points in connection with the bond issue, will be threshed out by the body. The commissioners met yesterday morn- was Tuesday, and the law requires meeting on that day An adjournment was taken until today. The anticipated canvass of the votes in the bond election was not entered into because of the en- eagement of Commissioner Weatherly in Ensley. where he made a speech, along with Gov. Emmet ONeal. The commis- sioners will meet this morning al 10 o'clock. The first thing to be done is to NanVaSS the vote ana then ueclare tue result officially.
 In addition to deciding whether the bonds shall be sold by public subscrp- ton or otherwise. the commissioners will act finally as to, the denomination of the bonds and will endeavor to thresh out some prelimnaries.

 The commissioners. 1t Is said. may decide to sell half the issue or more of it to bond houses, and allow the remain ing portion to be taken by the people. 1t is the desire of the commissioners to permit the people of the city who seek investments to take some of the bonds if npSsib1e

THOUSANDS LOST
TO STATE IN SHORT
WEIGHT PACKAGES
NEW SYSTEM RECENTLY IN.
STALLED RESULTED IN
LARGE SAVING.

ALBANY, May 25.-The fiscal
supervisor of state charitable insti-
buttons, Dennis Mccarthy, has saved
the state of New York a consider
able sum of money in the main
tenance of it's charitable institu-
tons through discoveries recently
made that original packages of food,
such as dried fruits, coffee, sugar
and flour, as furnished by the
contractors to institutions, many
times contained considerably less
than they are labeled. In three
months he saved the state 1927 by
demanding and receiving from con-
tractors refunds to cover shortages
in weights of these so-called orig
inal packages" Under former adj
ministrations of the fiscal supervi-
sor's office original packages, with
rare exceptions, We're not weighed.
While no definite figures are OBJ
tainable, the loss to the state, it is
stated here, must have extended
into the thousands.
Under the old system institutions
counted the number of boxes, bar
rels, pals or packages, but did
not weigh them. The shortages
recently discovered were especially
noticeable in packages of lard-com-
pound. During the months of Jan
uary, February and March foul
charitable institutions reported g
shortage Of 81 pounds of lard com.
pound, all of which was shipped
in tubs, supposed to ontain &C
pounds each. Similar shortages were
noted in packages of prunes, raisins
rolled oats, rice, coffee, dried
peaches, sugar, barley, salt and
beans.

REFUSE TO LET THEM GO.

WASHINGTON, May PA mix
up between sailors of the Pacific
fleet and civil authorities in San
Diego growing out of the attempt
of two detectives to arrest two
sailors in a saloon, was reported
yesterday to the navy department
by Rear Admiral Thomas.
A sailor named Johnson was ar
rested, for assault, and the request
of Admiral Thomas for his sur
render by the civil authorities, un-
der a promise to try him by court
martial, was refused.
Admiral Thomas said that when
the detectives tried to arrest the
sailors, other sailors rushed in from
the street and assaulted the detect
ives, whose badges were not in
sight, and that one of a patrol
of enlisted men, under a midship-
man, dubbed a detective as the
latter was drawing a revolver.

her son John, who is aboard the Coronet
in dangerous condition with scurvy.
She reached the Coronet by a small gas
cline launch and gained the deck. Those
in charge of the vessel, who at the time
were holding a six-hour prayer, abso-
lutely refused to let her see her son.
whom she has not seen in months They
would not allow her to enter the fore
castle where her son is confined. They
ordered off the Coronet and she refused
to go, saying that the launch had left and
she did not dare to step into a rowboat.
1t is stated that during the time that
Mrs. Adamson was aboard there was
much excitement, and that the crew was
so much wrought up over what Mrs
Adamson had to say relative to moth
er's rights that she was forced into one
of the small boats, her food and other ar
ticles brought for her sons relief being
thrown into the boat after her.
Mrs. Adamson has never been fol-
lower of Sanfordism. Her husband,
however, has followed the teachings
Of the so-called Elijah. Mrs. Adamson
at the time her husband first went TO
the Hilltop bought small farm near
by, and her husband looked after the
chores and other minor duties. He
was told by Sanford, it is said, that
he was breaking Gods will, and the
visits thereafter ceased.
Mr.. Adamson is still at the Hill Top,
where he has been since he first took
up Sandfordism. Mrs. Adamson is de-
termined and will undoubtedly at
tempt to have her son removed from
his present quarters.
One of the crew of the Coronet
stated to a reporter of the Express
Advertiser, Thursday, that after the
Coronet sailed from Portland on her
long journey, Sanford sent one of the
crew to the mast head to ascertain If
there were any boats or ships in sight
None were to be seen
Sanford then, it is asserted, ordered
all on deck for the purpose of driving
the devil out of Portland. Trumpets
and drums and other noise making
implements were brought forth and
the members commenced their noise
making which continued until prac-
tically all were exhausted Sanford
then informed the members of his
flock, according to the informant, that
