 ''G fully agree with you as To the hdvisabiilty of a centennial exposi- tion of the resources of Alabama. No state in the union possesses greater resources than Alabama. In agrieul- ture. mineral wealth and timber We stand unrivaled. This combination ot resources is greater in Alabama than most any state that can be named in the union and if the world knew the facts about Alabama and the opportu- nifty for investment which we can of fer, our increase in population and wealth would be amazing. Notwith- standing our great material resources. however. we can expect no permanent improvement or prosperity until we re- form out entire system of criminal and civil procedure, and make human life as well as property more secure. am earnestly endeaVoring now to awaken public sentiment upon this im- portant question, so l can secure through the next legislature these inn perative reforms.
 Tn the event an extra session is called. i will include a request for such prelimi- nary legislation as will be necessary 10 put the exposition on a working basis While the state is now confronted by a deficit we are increasing rapidly ;n wealth, and with the proper and just system Of taxation, the counties bearing more even ly their burden of taxes. the states reve- nues will be sufficient for all reasonable demands"
 The following local members of the com mittee were present at the meeting Thurs uay afternoon: Dr. Thomas M. Owen, Capt. William T. Sheehan, James C. Oak ley, John H. Wallace, Jr,, Stafford Petty, Paul Stevenson and W. J. Martin.

Declares Secrets of Grand Jury Have Not Been
 Violated

Hot Strings. Ark. September 19.-Dis- triet Attorney Whitman of New York issued the following statement tonight in reply to assertions credited 10 Mayor Gaynor:
 T have seen only the telegraph dis patch to the press here, so have no detailed knowledge of what has been said
 ..rhe secrets of the grand jury min utes have not been violated, as every member O the grand jury knows. The minutes of the grand jury have not been made rubHc since I was district attor- nev. except by proper order of the court, and every judge of general sessions and every supreme court. whenever such suggestion was made. has been able to satisfy himself on this point and in some instances has done so by the mcrest ref erenee to the grand jury minutes.
 Tt is not a statutory crime for the district attorney to reveal testimony given before the grand jury although l agree that no conscientious public official would do so except as provided by law.
 Tt is interesting at this time to recall the fact ttat something more than year ago. when Mayor Gaynor was him self a witness before the grand jury. he complained that his testimony had been made public by me
 It developed later that the statement in question. which related to the retire ment of Deputy Commissioner Flynn, was not made by Mayor Gaynor before the grand jury at all and that he had been examined in the grand jury room by George Gordon Battle and Frank Moss and not by the district attorney, who was not present in the room when the subject Was referred to-
 T don't propose to be diverted from the prosecution growing out of the mur- der of Herman Rosenthal and I intend 10 ignore any further efforts to becloud the real issue
 If the mayor or any other citizen has any charges to prefer against me. he Is at liberty to do so and the sooner the better

 In addition to this we have as the result of the educational work already done among the negroes, the astonish Ing record of six incipient cases. Those who have not studied the question can hardly understand this statement, but call 1t astonishing because hitherto It has been practically impossible to discover incipient cases among the ne- groes.
