WATERWORKS MAN
 MAY BE ARRESTED
Friendly Method of Testing
 Revenue Law
BOYD GIVES HIS VIEWS
O'Connell Says the Arrest Method Would Probably Be Quickest Way to Have the Ques-
 ton Settled

In order to expedite the test which is to be made of the state revenue bill, under which Birmingham has been de- prived of no less than s100,000 license tax, a friendly arrest of D. J. o'Connell, superintendent of the Birmingham Waterworks company, will probably be made by the city officials. So much was intimated yesterday by Capt. Ro- maine Boyd. city attorney and Super intendent O'Connell said he felt that such course would be the best and quickest way of handling the trouble that has arisen in reference to the pay ment of S1S,000 by that company.
 Captain Boyd, who has been asked by the commission to give his opinion as to the collection of the license for mally refused by the company, said yesterday that he would perhaps have his opinion in preliminary shape for the commission meeting next Tuesday. He said that it would be lack of official decorum to outline his views before the matter was officially given the com mission.

Cites Ensley Case

You are at liberty, however, to say this,' said Captain Boyd, "that when was city attorney of Ensley the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company was paying $250 per year license fee. I secured an ordinance that required them to pay $250o. The company instantly declined to pay It. The only thing for us to do in that event was to use summary measures. We accordingly caused to be arrested every street car motorman and conduc- tor that came to Ensley until the com pany asked for a conference. The mat ter was adjusted within short time.
 q do not wish to be put in ythe atti- tude of advocating summary measures. In the Ensley case that was the only way out. In reference to the water works case it. has occurred to me that one of the quickest ways 10 attend to this matter would be to arrest some officials for doing business without license. We could do that every day as the company would violate the law every day they operated without grant from the city However, it should be pointed out with the greatest earn estness that MT. O'Connell will be asked to agree to such measures and every thing will be done according to an agreement, if that course is pursued"
 The Birmingham Waterworks com pany has paid no less than $1S,257 as an intangible tax which. according to the revenue bill adopted by the last legislature should be credited on the city license. The latter cannot go over ? per cent of the gross revenue of any concern. MT. OConnell maintains that he has conformed to the law, but does not defend his position any further than to say that he Is following the

Congress.
CAPTURE SENATE SEATS
May Be Sufficient to Change
Political Complexion

Washington, Nov. 6.--Later returns
made more certain the earlier indica-
ton that the Democrats would in
crease their contingent in the house OF
Representatives. Returns showed that
by the reapportionment and by defeat
Of opponents in normally Republican
districts there was a gain Of twenty
four Democrats over the number ac-
credited in the ~Sixty-second congress
and a loss of one. The gain was as
follows:
Five in New Jersey, 2 in Texas, l in
Louisiana, l in Florida, l in Georgia,
4 in Connecticut, l in Alabama, / in
Iowa and s in New York. In Wiscon-
sin two We're elected nominally on a
Democratic ticket from Republican
districts, though they actually we're
named by a fusion following.
A number Of the Republican repre-
sentatiyes returned were given the
Progressive endorsement.

Milwaukee. Nov. 6.-Rock ribbed

with Democracy by giving Governor
Woodrow Wilson an approximate plu-
rality of at least 10000 votes over
President Taft. Returns from 336
precincts out of 2.2l5 in the state
give Wilson II, 400. Taft 5I,S35, Roose-
Welt 34,O27.
Returns on the goyernorship fght
outside of Milwaukee county give Gov
ernor McGovern, Republican, a lead OF
5000 ove Judge John G. Karel, Dem
ocrat. Karel carried Milwaukee coun-
ty by about $4,000. 1t is thought that
complete up state returns will give
the Republican state ticket a plurality
of at least 10000.
The surprise Of the election was
the defeat Of Congressman Victor l..
Berger, Socialist, in the Fifth district
in Milwaukee county, who was beaten
by former Congressman William H..
Stafford, fusion candidate on the Dem
ocratic ticket. Congressman William
j. Cary Of the Fourth district, Mil
waukee county, was reelected over
his Socialist opponent.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
Republicans have elected six members
OF congress and the Democrats four.
with one district still in doubt. Con
gresham konop, Democrat, and
Morse, Republican, are neck and neck
In the Ninth. Scattering returns from
the Sixth district indicate that Con
