VALUABLE POINTERS
 FROM CHATTANOOGA
Birmingham Committee Returned Yesterday and Will Now Form
 Local Organization

Chairman J. F. Ramsey of the com mittee of Birmingham manufacturers who were in Chattanooga Thursday re- ported an excellent visit to the Noun tain City and said that the committee received some valuable pointers from the Tennessee institution.
 The local committee went to Chatta- nooga for the purpose of inspecting the Chattanooga Manufacturers asso- citation and getting a line on how to organize a similar association in Bir- mingham In speaking of the trip MT. Ramsey said:
 We received very courteous treat ment from the Chattanooga men and were given an entire day to look things over Secretary O. L. Bum of the associat tion took us around the city and explained the working of the manu- facturers' association to us. They have a manufacturers building in Chatta- nooga which is owned by the associa- tion There is an exhibit of all of the manufactured products of the city in the building. The association is well organized and there are a number of departments to it. The manufacturers association Is vastly more powerful in Chattanooga than their Chamber of Commerce"
 The Birmingham manufacturers will probably organize within few weeks and the committee, which was made ur of J. F.. Ramsey, c. F. Foust and F. A. McElroy, will report at the meet ing

 me governor also believes that the state is caring for a large number of patients at the insane hospitals which should be maintained by their families. lie thinks the state is imposed upon in thls respect and he is going to make a thorough investigation of the number or indigent patients in the asylum and those who are either self-supporting or whose families are able to pay for their treatment
 In addition to these plans the gov ernor is giving considerable study to various other matters by which he thlnks the state can save money While he does not say that he will call an extra session of the legislature during the coming summer. 1t is generally con ceded that special session will be called Tor September or October, at which time the governor will present an elaborate programme to the law makers of the state. including a thorough revision of the judicial sys- tenn and various recommendations for the curtailment of expenses

MYSTERIOUS COFFIN
 FOUND IN RIVER

F. c. R. Reid. superintendent of the Oak Hill cemetery. returned yesterday from lock on the Coosa river, where he has been on an outing for the past several days. He tells a strange tale of coffin being found in the river be- tween lock and lock 8.
 MT. Reid stated that negro came to him one day this week while he was on the river and told him of sec ing a box floating down the river The negro nosed the box to the shore with the brow of his skin and took off the lid and a black coffin was disclosed.
 MT. Reid states that he looked at the coffin and saw that it was trimmed and seemed as if it had been occupied. The box, he stated, looked as ii it had been in the ground. The glass in the lid of the coffin. MT. Reid says, was broken and he inserted his boat paddle in the opening and felt all down in the casket, but could feel nothing
 The natives about the place. he says, are very much mystified over the af- fair. and offer no explanation for its appearance.

THE HONORABLE REVEREND A. B.
 BRIGHT" COMES TO SAD FATE

sS), the Honorable Reverend" stated that the soil was so rich that cotton needed only to be planted once in seven years and that it worked itself"
 He said the land was simply loaded with all kinds of precious metals, includ- ing mines with an abundant yield of brass" Game from wild elephants to billy goats was declared to be In abund- ance and as an additional inducement to tho dusky sportsmen he stated there were wild horses to be tamed." In fact the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary offered almost every bless ing under the sun for three paltry dol lars
 Of course, he got away with his scheme until he struck Birmingham, where he landed in the clutches of the law and after an interview with "Jedge'' Aber- nethy he was bound over to the criminal court. Yesterday morning he tried to con- vince Judge Frank Smith that his scheme was legitimate and that he was really a benefacter to his race. Judge Smith couldn't see 1t that way and gave the Honorable Reverend" promoter an op- portunity for serious reflecNon by send ing him to jail for six months and giv- ing him S2O0 fine.

GOVERNOR PLANS TO SAVE
 STATE THOUSANDS ANNUALLY

Montgomery. May 24.-(Special)- Governor O'Neal is giving much at tention to methods by which the state ecutive hundreds of thousands of dol- lars are spent by the state annually which might be saved were certain laws on the Alabama statutes revised.
 The three plans which are receiving the greater part of the executives at tention at this time are:
 1. A change of the laws regarding the feeding of prisoners. allowing the counties to pay the cost for their con- victs.
 2. The purging of the states pen sion roll of all who are not entitled to receive pensions.
 3. A stricter observance of the laws with reference to caring for the pa tients in the insane hospitals of the state.
 The governor believes that the first plan, if effected. would result In an annual saving to the state of several hundred thousand dollars. He does not believe that the state should bear the expense of feeding the county prison CTS. Alabama Is one of the few states of the union in which this system ob- tains. declares the executive. and he Is determined to induce the legislature al it's next session to revise the laws with respect to feeding the county prison CTS.
 Regarding the pension list, the gov ernor believes that the state spends annually thousands of dollars to pen sioners who arc not entitled to re- ceive this money. The pension roll is crowded with parasites, believes the governor, and he thinks the list should be purged of all names that are not entitled to a place. He declares that he has no intention of purging the roll of veterans or of those who have any

PRESIDENT GEWIN
 MAKES STATEMENT
Call Issued to Other Beats of County to Hold Mass Meetings and Prepare to Fight the

The citizens of beat 9, West End held an indignation meeting in their precinct last night and resolved that they would not stand for the taxes of Jefferson county being raised. They is
 sued call for a mass meeting of their citizens next Wednesday night at
 o'clock at the West End odd Fellows
 hall for the purpose of further for
 mulating plans to prevent the raise.

 UT. GeW1H dlkS
 pr. Gewin, speaking the sentiments of the entire organization, said last night: Ut is a downright imposition on the citizens of Jefferson county, and We are not going to stand for 1t. The
 raise in taxes affects the poor people as well as the rich. The rental class will have to pay more for their houses. The taxes will be raised all out of proportion and common deeency and justice. Take for instance the Tennes- see company. Their taxes will be raised from $7,00O, 900 to S2700o,000. Can you think of anything more unjust? "The poorer counties of the state think to take advantage of the wealth
 of Jefferson county and realize on our
 taxes If the tax commission would
 equalize the taxes all over the state
 1t would be q different matter. But see here: l have some land just across the Jefferson county line in Shelby county which I give in to the tax as- sessor as s6 an acre and right back across the line I have land adjoining which I must give in to Jefferson coun- ty at $50 an acre and the land in Jeff
 ferson county is worth no more than
 that in Shelby county.

Petition Board of Revenue

"We are going to ask the board of | revenue not to allow the raise. and | I don't think they will If they do, we are not going to pay 1t. We will | fight 1t, and there is not jury in the county but what will recognize the justice of our kick"
 There have been several mass meet ings held in different parts of the county on the tax raise propositions but the one at West End last night came nearer being like an old-time "anti-amendment" meeting than there has been since the close of that famous campaign.
 The gentlemen making up the cit izenship of that beat are up in arms and are bristling with indignation. They wish every beat in the county to hold similar meetings on the question and show once for all that they are not going to pay the tax increase.
