SCHOOLS ON HAND
 LOOKING FOR FUNDS
Institutions Well Represented
 At the Capitol
OUTLOOK FOR BANK LAW
Senator Overton Is on Hand and Hopes to See Good Roads Amendment
 to Constitution Become
 Operative
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January n.-(Special.) J. The colleges of the state are already lay ing plans for the gaining of increased appropriations at the hands of the new legislature.
 President Abercrombie and Professor Doster of the university are here, and Trustees Morrow, Glenn and Davis are with them. Hill Ferguson of Birming- ham is also conferring with them. The gentlemen state that nothing is ready for publication as yet, but it is known that the university hopes to receive much at tention at the hands of the new admin istration.
 President c. c. Thach of Auburn has al. ready taken a step in the interest of his institution. He was here yesterday. Professors Dove and Bragg have been here, too.
 President T. w. Palmer of the Monte. vallo Industrial school has been on the scene. He states that he hopes the new administration will give him ample funds with which to build suitable class rooms for the MoDtevalo institution.
 The new banking bill. in the interest of which w. H. Manly and Chappell Cory of Birmingham are doing good work at the capitol, has very fine prospects of passing, although it seems probable that some minor changes will have to be ma4e.
 MT. Manly states that he has encoun- tered no open and hostile opposition, but Is not resting on his oars on that ac- count. MT. Cory states that he believes the chances for favorable report on the bill are growing better every day. Tt has better prospects, says he. than any other banking bill ever presented to a legislature
 It is understood that Governor-elect O'Neal is not unfavorable to certain im- provements or reformation in the present banking system of the state.
 Senator John w. Overton, who put through the good roads amendment to the constitution, is in the city. He hopes that the new amendment will be put into eff feet, and believes that it will be.
 "We,do not want the world with fence around it, he said today. We simply want the amendment put into effect. and state highway commission created"
 The prospects for good roads is very good, indeed, as every member of the new administration is committed to policy of better highways in the state. Speaker Almon, 1t might be recalled. is chairman of the legislative committee of the Ala bama Good Roads association, and he will fight to make the amendment effective. He Is committed to the idea of a state highway commission.

WRECKING COMPANY'S
 SUIT TO BE DECIDED

Mobile, January 11.-It Is expected that Federal Judge Toulmin will render a de- vision this week in the demurrers filed several weeks ago by the defendants in the case of Foster Taylor and others com prising the West India wrecking com pany against the City Bank and Trust company and Ferd Forcheimer and others.
 The case was filed some months ago and follows the organizing here of wrecking company known as the West India Wrecking company, and for the purpose of salving the cargo of the big British steamship Buckingham, whose skeleton is bleaching alongside of that famous old United States war vessel, the Kearsarge, on Rondor's reef.
 The wrecking of the Buckingham was perhaps the most disastrous from a finan- cial viewpoint In southern waters. She was loaded with railroad iron and was bound for tropical port.
 After the wrecking of the vessel the company to recover the cargo was or ganized. bond of s60O0 in cash was | said to have been deposited in the City | Bank and Trust company. Taylor Eos | ter, a well-known mariner. was the head l of the company. It is asserted they went to the scene of the wreck and began op- erations
 In due course of time, 1t is alleged. 1888 tons of rails were recovered and shipped to Mobile. The company was to get about s22 ton for the iron delivered at any American port. The amount alleged to have been shipped to Mobile was valued at $41. 900. Ferd Forcheimer was said to have been the agent of the wrecking com pany in the sale of the iron. According to the suit Forchemer should have $16,000 left out of the proceeds of the sale of the iron after certain obligations of the wrecking company had been met. An ac- counting is sought by the wrecking com pany, both as to the banking and MT.
