President Refers Casually to the Claims
of Americans For Being shot
by Mexican Soldiers.

Mexico City, Mex, Sept 17.-But one
reference to relations between the
United States and Mexico was made by
president Madero in his message to
congress last night. That was in re-
latiOn to the American claims for in
demnity growing out Of the battle of
Juarez- Regarding the 20, 600, 900 pesos
war loan of June, he said that is, 000, 900
of the loan already had been expended
The president said the revolution was
practically ended and ascribed the
spread of the belief that the govern
ment was weak to a few persons whose
ambitions were unsatisfied in the rev.
olution against Diaz and to certain
newspapers which, he alleged, had
given false and exaggerated news
In discussing claims of Americans for
indemnity, president Madero said the
government. in an effort to settle the
claims, had instructed two consuls to
investigate. Eleven claimants, he added
appeared at Douglas and six at FL Paso.

received at JuareZ, due in some cases
to their negligence and in others to an
impairment curiosity to witness a bat

The indemnities granted. he said,
were based on judgments rendered in
similar instances in American courts.
The message contained assurances
that peace speedily will be restored,
and dealt with plans for improving the
army and with interior financial condi-
llOHS- although ne dQInlLIeQ IndC small
rebel bands were operating in Sonora;
that bandits occupied the attention of
the army in the states of Morelos,
Guerrero and Mexico, and that disturb
ances existed in a few other states, he
said he regarded the revolution as well
in hand. The president said it would
be necessary to authorize another loan.
He called attention to the fact that the
request some time ago for authority to
make loan for paying inGemnities and
railway subventions had not been
granted. He said the finance depart
ment had passed upon 2616 claims,
which must be paid
Including the 100000 pesos hor-
rowed, the president said there was in
the treasury, June 80. the sum of 51,-
10000 pesos. He recommended COM
pulsory military service.

LABOR AGENTS WANT LOCAL WORK|NGMEN
Attempt to Be Made to Increase Fee of Such
 Agents Licenses

On account of the activities of for eign labor agents, the Alabama Coal Operators association through James L. Davidson, its secretary made an eff fort yesterday before the city commis sion to have the license fee placed at $2500 for such work.
 The efforts of labor agents in entie- ing worl<ingmen from Birmingham to West Virginia, where there has been an exceedingly bitter wage fight on for months has caused the industrial men here sdme apprehension. The com missioners are in hearty sympathy with the discouragement given the labor ex- porters, but referred the proposed in- crease in license fee to President Gull pepper Exum and License Inspector J. J. Boggan, for consideration
 In connection with the reputed pres ence here of labor agents it is under stood that little headway is being made by them in getting men to leave this district. Although the agents have paid the license fee they are very un- willing to go directly on to the prop erty of local companies to make eff forts to get men away.

NEW ENSLEY HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATED Dr. Phillips, MT. sWeatherly
 and Others Speak 15OO PEOPLE PRESENT Dr. Phillips States He Hopes to Some Day See Industrial Plants Being
 Used as Laboratories
 for Schools
15OO PEOPLE PRESENT

The Ensley High school housewarming last night was a tremendous success. Eff teen hundred people were packed in the huge auditorium of the new high school building and accorded generous re- ception to the artists and speakers pro- yided for their entertainment.
 A splendid programme interspersed with addresses by Birminghams highest off cials and most representative business men crowned the efforts of the school improvement association, under whose auspices the affair was given with most gratifying success. Superintendent J. H. Phillips address was most comprehen- sive and sweeping statement of the scope of education, though embodied in a speech of not more than 10 minutes. He said in part:
 'I hope to see the day when these l immense industrial plants in Ensley will be great laboratories for the schools of Birmingham, when industrial establish ments will work hand in hand with edu- cational institutions for the benefit of the youth of the community. The night school, with matrieulation already of more than 100, which has been established through the generosity of the Tennessee company, is a step in this direction. The school should be not only a social cen ter and a civic center but a center for the uplift and the upbuilding of the youth of the land educationally and morally
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham gave brief hs- tory of the growth of the school sys- tenn of Ensley and of the state.
 John L. Parker spoke briefly for the board of education as regards the schools of Ensley, while City Commissioner James Weatherly addressed the audience from the same standpoint for the commis- sioners.
 At the conclusion of the programme the audience was extended the privilege of inspecting the magnificent new struc- ture so recently completed. and an in- formal reception was held in the lunch room of the building by the school im- provement association.

MUST COUNTY WAIT SIX YEARS
 FOR RELIEF FROM FEE SYSTEM?

Whether the governor will hold to this decision is not known. Jeffer- son county is desirous of reaping the benehts of the constitutional amend Inent, but without special session of the legislature, the people of that county must wait six years before the lee system can be abolished by the operation of new laws.
 It is practically certain that the people of Jefferson county are anxious to see a special session of the legis- lature and it is more than probable that they will ask the governor to call one before the end of his adminis- tration, in order that they may secure relief from the fee system.
 Governor O'Neal Reticent
 Governor O'Neal is reticent regard ing an extra session of the legislature and when asked what he intended to do in regard to the matter, declared that 1t was his intention not to call special session unless it should be necessary. This was the governors statement six months ago, at which time it was really believed that he would issue call for special session early in January. Since then the gov ernor has perfected arrangements whereby he can secure whatever funds are necessary to run the state govern ment, and is has been generally under stood for theipast few weeks that there would be no extra session.
 Governor O'Neal is anxious to avoid calling a special session and it is prae- tically certain that he will not call ono unless it shall be necessary It is known that d special session will cost not less than s50,000, probably more, and the governor is taking the position that the state can i'll afford to spend this much money unless there | is every assurance that new laws and certain reforms can be put into effect which will justify this expenditure
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-09

Montgomery, November S.-(Special) With the overwhelming vote favor ing the constitutional amendment look ing to the abolition of the fee system in Jefferson county, many state off cials are now speculating as to when that county will receive the benefits to be derived from new legislation regu- lating salaries in that county
 Such regulation is dependent upon q session of the legislature. If the governof holds to his decision not to call an extra session during his ad- ministration. it will be six years at least before any legislation seeking to regulate salaries in Jefferson county can be put into effect. The next regu- liar session of the legislature can enact sufficient legislation covering the sub ject, but suci laws cannot go into ef- feet until after the new officers who will just have been elected, have finish ed serving their terms. This will re- quire four years, and counting the two years that will intervene before the next regular session of the legislature, it will be six years before the people of Jefferson county can reap the bene- fits of the constitutional amendment without an extra session.
 officials are, therefore, speeulatng as to what the governor will do with ref erence to an extra session. He an nounced a few weeks ago that there seemed to be no immediate necessity for a special session, and intimated that he did not think he would call an extra session. although many new laws and reforms are needed
