Clark Going to New York to Look Over Such Structures in
 That City

To confer with New York architects and look over musical academies In that city, Gen. Louis V. Clark will leave Sunday. He said yesterday that the appeals made to him by musicians and artists here for him to abandon his bachelor apartment scheme in connection with his new thea tre and convert that space into studios had been received and was being consid- cred seriously.
 "I feel inclined to convert the proposed bachelor apartment space into studios, said General Clark There Is no such place here and this city is growing so very fast as a musical and artistic cen ter that I believe a demand is pressing for such apartments. It has been sug- gested that a recital hall, display studio and such features be added, together with individual studios. l very frankly told the applicants that I would consider their plans and I intend to look over such buildings when I go to New York next week. If 1t can be consistently done l shall be pleased to convert the bachelor apartments into artists studios
 T have no desire to make any big money out of the apartments. but want them to be self sustaining. l think the rentals could be made very reasonable"

MOON PROVIDES FOR
 THE PARCELS POST
His Report on Postoffice Disagrees With the Report From Post
 office Department

Washington, March IA parcels Post system is provided for in the regular postoffice appropriation bill. in- troduced today by Representative Mooney of Tennessee. The representa- tive would apply the foreign mail car rying plan to domestic mail matter and permit the transportation of II pounds of merchandise.
 As an experiment local mail would be carried until June 19 on all rural routes on a graduated scale ranging from cents a pound for the first pound and cents for each additional pound
 The bill would permit postofice em- ployes the right of petition to Congress, now denied by rules of the postoffice department.
 The appropriation bill carries a total of S259 9S27.749, a decrease in the de- partment estimates of $1,352,315. An other provision requires that railway mail cars be constructed of steel and the present cars to be substituted at the rate of 20 per cent a year for five years, so that by 1917 all railway mail cars shall be entirely of steel construc- tion.
 Chairman Moons report disa grees with the report from the postoffice de- partment that it has been self sustain ing and finds deficit instead of a sur plus.
 The report reproduces the report o1 the auditor of the postoffice department and says:
 These final figures from the auditor show deficit in the department for the fiscal year 1911 of S627,S4594 instead of surplus of s219,11S.12.

ROBSON PASSES
 THROUGH CITY
Going Home to Open Hot Campaign Against Sen
 ator Moody

Congressman Richmond Pearson Hob son, making close connection in Birmins- ham, went over the Alabama Great south ern to Tuscaloosa last night, and there this morning at 10 o'clock will make his first speech in his campaign for re- election.
 Captain Hobson is opposed by State Sen- ator Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa, and it is generally believed that between the two the contest will be exceedingly close. As to the outcome the predictions in Blr- mingham are uncertain.
 The opening gun of the campaign, which is destined to interest every section of the state. and possibly the nation, was fired Saturday afternoon in EutaW by Senator Moody. Following his speech in Tuscaloosa this morning, Congressman Hobson will speak this afternoon at bV- ingston and tonight at Eutaw
 Tomorrow Hobson will return to Tusca- loosa and will spend the remainder of the week in that county, the home county in the district. It is evident that Hob son intends making Tuscaloosa county the battle ground.
 Captain Hobson had nothing to say in reference to the campaign. He paid MT. Underwood several high compliments, however, and expressed the hope that he might land the democratic nomination for the presidency.

MATCH COMP ANY ID
 MAKE SETTLEMENT
Diamond Match Go. Con- troyersy Will Be Settled
 Out of the Courts

Montgomery, March Especial )-Dan-
 e N. Troy, special counsel employed by Governor. O'Neal to prosecute all foreign corporations that have not compiled with the laws of the state in reference to quail flying with the Secretary of State to do business in Alabama, announces that an agreement has been reached with the Diamond Match company whereby thar company will within a short time make a settlement with the state.
 Troy recently had a conference with John P. Tillman of Birmingham. attorney for the match corporation, at which time the agreement was reached to settle the controversy out of court.
 Special Counsel Troy is after several other foreign corporations that have not yet qualified with the secretary of state. He is determined to bring to task all companies that are infringing the law, declaring that the Alabama statutes are explicit on the subject, and that there is no reason why any foreign corporation should be excused from designating to the secretary of state it's principal place of business in Alabama and it's author ized agent.
 According to MT. Troy, the Alabama corporation laws are very liberal, and he tiilllhS lIldl tiliS ltdthIt SliOuiu DIlliB large number of corporations to this state. He Is of the opinion that the laws of this state relative to the incorporation of new companies are nearly broad as those of New Jersey, where the majority of the large companies take out papers of incor- poration. MT. Troy believes that if this were generally known, or if the incorpor ation laws were partially revised, 1t would mean an influx of large number of new nfNr- Nnf-ot fn ctnt ht0Ia 1 do much toward strengthening the treas- ury each year.

REMEDY SUGGESTED
Veterans Better Government League Held Interesting Meeting at the Courthouse Last Night-The
 Crowd Rather Small

The fee system of Jefferson county was the meeting of the Confederate Veterans Better Government association last night in the circuit court room of the Jefferson county courthouse. The crowd attending the meeting was smaller than anticipated.
 The meeting was called to order by Cap tain Williams, who announced Col. s. J.. Bowie as the first speaker
 MT. Bowie said: q think 1t would be good idea to discuss and analyze the fec system in a quiet manner. We know that it is an evil and what we want to find out is how we can rid ourselves of 1t.
 "There are a number of things that must be taken into consideration about the fee system. Tn the first place when we think that such men as Clay, Calhoun and Webster served in the Senate of the United States for 5000 year; that the governor of the state gets s5OOO a year; that the greatest judges on the supreme bench only receive 5000 d year, does 1t seem right that the sheriff of the county should receive about $50,000 for his serv- Ices? The sheriff doesn't have to be graduate of a university; he doesn't have to be a scientist. All he needs to be is man of courage, of integrity and of good common sense.
 "But even if we paid him ten times that much we might get over 1t. The trouble is that the prncely salary brings out mul- titudes of canddates-men who are tempt ed by the prize-men who can be reached bV money.
