MONTGOMERY IS
 AFTER CENTENNIAL
Business Mems League Noti- fies Committee Capital
 Will Make Strong Bid

Montgomery, October Special )-The Business Mems league of Montgomery has written to all the members of the Alabama centennial and international ex- position committee, advising them that Montgomery will make a strong bid for the location of the exposition In 1919. The letter announces that the league has named 100 representative business men of the city to cooperate with the com mttee when it meets here on the 23d of October. This local committee will offer the centennial committee every fla cility at their command to enable them to study conditions in Montgomery, with view to locating the exposition here.
 With the letter to the members of the centennial committee there was enclosed a handbook of Montgomery, designed to furnish all information relative to the capital city of the state.
 Montgomery is determined to use every means to oppose Birmingham and other cities in the state in securing the ex- position. Up to the present time Bir- mingham has probably been the strongest claimant for the big celebration of Ala bama's statehood. but the league an- nounces that 1t is going after the ex- position and that it will use every possible effort to secure it.

JUDICIAL REFORM
 IN MISSISSIPPI Judges Mcclellan and Pel- ham Much Interested
 in Movement

Montgomery. October 1S.-(Special) Judge Thomas c. Mcclellan of the su- rreme court and Judge John Pelha m of the court of appeals are interested in the movement which has recently been inaugurated in Mississippi look ing to judicial feform.
 The attention of these two prom inent judges was drawn to Mississippi following the publication of a state ment by Chief Justice Sydney Smith at the eonvening of the October term of the Mississippi supreme court a few, days ago to the effect that number of new rules had been adopted with reference to judicial procedure in that state. In his speech to the court Chief Justice Smith referred to the system of one judge opinions which obtains in Alabama. allowing one judge to write an opinion for the court
 Judges Mcclellan and Pelham are of the opinion that the step which has been taken in Mississippi looking to ju- dicial reform is bound to have some good effect upon this state and each declares that the sentiment in favor of revised system of judicial procedure is steadily gaining ground not only fin Alabama, but in other states in which an anticipated system Is being pursued.

JUDGE EVANS HERE
 TOATTEND HEARING
Although He Received No
 Summons to Court
BEFORE JUDGE CROW
State Commissioners Were Ordered to Appear to Show Authority for Setting Aside Board of
 Revenues Action

Judge A. A. Evans, associate member of the state tax commission, IS m BIT mingham, and today will probably an- pear before Judge F. c. Crow of the cir cult court, and give reason for the ac- ton of the commission in setting aside certain judgments in reference to tax cases which were rendered by the board of revenue.
 Judge Evans stated that he had not been served with papers instructing him to appear before the court He explained that he had come to Birmingham on the request of J. Lee Long, president of the commission, for the purpose of ascertain ing Just what had been done in reference to the complication which has arisen.
 We heard" stated Judge Evans, that an injunction had been issued. It was for this reason that came to Birming- ham. We were desirous of knowing what action had been taken, and what was expected that we do."
 Last week as is remembered, Judge Crow issued rule nisi again against the state tax commission and against its
 
 three members, ordering them to appear before him on October 19, to show by what right or authority they had set aside the judgments of the board of rev. enue in reference to the tax raises in Jefferson county. That only Judge Evans will attend this hearing is due, no doubt, to the probable reason that the other members were not served with papers The rule nisi was issued on petition of Howard Bailey, real estate dealers, which petition was filed through their at torneys R. B. Smyer. A. G. Smith and E. D. Smith.
 The situation grew out of the action of the tax board of the state in setting aside the judgments of the board of rev enue rendered in certain cases. The point which will eventually be determined Is whether or not the state commission has the legal right to raise taxes after the board of revenue has acted upon the assessments under dispute.
 The indications are that the litigation will be long drawn out. The state will be represented by Jesse F-Stallings and Frank s. White.

WEATHERLY SHOWS
 DISAPPOINTMENT Was Keenly Interested in Lide Report on Nor
 wood Lights

The greatest disappointment was manifested yesterday by Commissioner James Weatherly over the failure of his associates to adopt the report of Martin J. Lide consulting engineer for the city. in regard to the lighting of Norwood. MT. Weatherly was deeply chagrined and showed his keen dis appointment. He was vitally interest ed in the adoption of the report as he pointed out, MT. Lide recommended the adoption only if the commission was in earnest for municipal owner ship. The report said unless the city was serious about municipal owner ship the report should not be adopted. Mir Exum said he had not looked into the matter carefully and If the re- port was insisted upon he intended to vote no That was practically what happened.
 Mr. Lide in his report indicated that the lamps now cost $7o per year and if work costing $7493 was performed on the North Birmingham plant the same light would cost s29.27. The net result would have been saving of 30 per cent on the investment with Ia per cent sinking fund which in IS years would pay for the entire plant. The report contemplated the extension of the line to include from Nineteenth street to Thirty-sixth street and from Eleventh avenue to Sixteenth avenue, and all of North Birmingham. MT. Weatherly said to the commissioners that the plant was worthless now but by adopting the report of MT. Lide 1t would be ser viceable. He pointed out that the city electrician, w. H. Abernethy. and w. G. Kirkpatrick, city engineer, agreed with MT. Lide as to the scheme. MT. Weatherly believed the city would save $2000 per annum.
 The special report now goes to the commission as committee to investi- gate the problem of municipal owner ship, which includes both water and light service and from that commit tee probably never will emerge.

 'I have nothing 10 say"
 The fact of Mir. Columbus arrival was recalled a few days ago by Big Tim Sullivan, who had bill passed in the legislature crediting the sailor with the discovery of this part of the world. so that Theodore Roosevelt couldn't claim 1t.

Jasper, October 1s.--(SpeciaL)-A public illustrated lecture on the nature of the courageous aspect of tubercr losis was given last night in the law and equity court room. Dr. A. M. sto- wall, who is county health officer, and pr. c. B. Jackson were the leaders and principal speakers of the evening. They had on display a number of charts showing the way the disease was transmitted from one infected to an immune person Plans were made to have another lecture at which they ex- pect to make permanent organiza- ton for the purpose of instructing tho masses on how to prevent the spread Of the disease and also in the nature of the cures. All In attendance were highly interested and the doctors were given assurance that the interest of the public would increase if they would have repeated lectures on the methods of preventing the evil.
 Much activity Is seen in the inter est of political factions and candidates. Until the last few days they have been rather open in their movements but the candidates and their friends have adopted the buttonhole method and all political transactions have come down to purely business methods Much speculation is rife as to the recent movements of the bull moose party in putting candidates out when they have not an inkling of a chance to win.

PHILIPPINE SCHOOLS PLANNED
TO SHAPE COUNTRYS INDUSTRY

(By John II. NJ. Butler in the Cable
news-Americtn ManilaD
BAGUIO, May 23.-Who would
think that the schools of country can
determine the trend of its industry?
This is he very thing the schools
of the Philippines are about to do.
In olden times it was sometimes nee.
essary for the victorious power to
carry the defeated people into captiv-
ity and devastate the country or popu-
late It with peoples from other places.
The doctrine of these times is to help
the defeated to make the best of them.
selves possible; at least that is the
gospel the American people are prop
agating in the Philippines.
Several years ago when the public
began to agitate the necessity for in
dustrial instruction in the schools, it
was one or two years behind the
school authorities. Already Industrial
branches had been included in the
course of study. The problem was to
make this instruction practical and
effective. Industrial education as car
ried on in Europe and America is very
expensive, costing more subject for
subject than the same number of
academic branches. To install an in
oustrial regime in the school system
on a large scale here meant more than
money. 1t meant careful planning
investigation of materials to be found
in a country, a study of local condi-
lions and requirements, the means of
instruction and the allaying of sus-
picions of people native to the coun-
try that the purpose of such irstruc-
ton was not to retard their Intellectual
progress. Schools on the plans that
Hampton and Tuskeegee in the United
States are run on, would not meet re-
quirement5 here because conditions
are not similar Schools based on the
ideas involved in the Swedish system
were out of question because the place
and the times demanded something
affecting the economic and social con-
ditions more radically. The general
office people of the bureau of educa-
ton and the men in the field buckled
down to the subject and the smallest
child began to say when he started
out to school in the morning, after
getting his hat and book, Where IS
my industrial?' The new branch had
been christeneo and was rapidly max
ing itself at home so far as the school
boy was concerned.
