ALABAMA CLANS ID. MAKE ESTATEFAMOUS
John Craft Says They Are . as Fine as Rhode Islands
 Fresh Water Variety

Alabama will become famous some of these days, John Craft. president of the Alabama oyster commission, and others, believe, for it's clans. The lit tie bivalve which has lain dormant and unappreciated in Mobile bay for years and years, will be given. fair trial. MT. Craft says so.
 MT. Craft, who in addition to car ing for the oysters and the good roads of the state, intends sampling the clam of Alabama. said yesterday: Alabama clam are good. They grow in abund- ance in the bay. Samples have been sent to Montgomery. Others will be sent to other cities, Birmingham. Mem phis, Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, and into the north and east There is no question but that the salt water clans of Alabama are as palatable as the fresh water clans of Rhode Island and New York.
 This will be the first attempt to find market for clans developed in the salt water zone in which oysters grow. But just await the result of the exper- iment. We contend that the salt wa ter which washes our clans gives them a more delightful falvor than the oth- CTS They grow in abundance The yield may be increased at the will of man.
 MT. Craft states that up to the pres ent time practically the only use which has been made of Alabama clans con- sisted in attaching them to the end of hooks for fish bait.

Freeman Says All They Are Now Waiting On Is Uncle
 Sam's Permission
ONE CONCERN WILL
 USE ALL THE POWER
Will Be Practical Duplicate of Dam at Lock No. 12 and Will Mean an Outlay of Several
 Millions

That his company was ready to start work on a dam at Lock IS on the Coosa river Involving several million dollars was statement of W. W. Freeman, managing director of the Alabama In terstate Power company, yesterday.
 He said when authority was received from Congress work would begin which would be a practical duplication of the work near Ocampo at lock No }. MT Freeman said the dam would be built at Lock IS for one electric power con sumer and that only this one concern would use the power created at the new dam. That company, MT. Freeman ex- plained, was a concern which makes commercial fertilizer by extracting ona necessary element from the air and converting it into the best of commer- cial fertilizer.
 We have plans already and waiting for the work at Lock 1S," said Mir. Free man yesterday. Tt will be recalled that President Taft vetoed the former fran chise We secured for that work. How ever. we have hopes of getting another bill through Congress and the Ala bama representatives are, am glad to say, eXerting every energy 10 get that power for this company.
 We will spend several million dol lars there to build the dam which will make the river navigable, which is the desire of the government and others. Our power plant at Lock IS, which will be built l am sure. will be for only one client. We have one contract that will use up the power However, extensions could be made for other industries that might wish to engage in business with LIS. The proposed dam would be about four miles from Wetumpka and about 20 miles from Montgomery.
 "The plans for Lock IS are practical ly the same as Lock 12 with the excep- tion of the extension lines"
 It is understood that Senator John IT. Bankhead, Congressman c, w. Un- derwood Senator J. r. Johnston and other Alabama congressman are doing what they can to get the power rights for the local company, believing that such development will be for the gen eral betterment and enrichment of Ala bama.

KOLB SAYS INTENT
 0F LAW IS PLAIN
Says Department Is Self Sustaining and Shows Net
 Profit of $12,00O

Capt. Reuben F. Kolb commissioner of agriculture, while in Birmingham yesterday, made the following state ment relative to the report of Exam ner Frank " Evans to the effect that there was no authority for the pay ment of salaries Of samplers of the agricultural department:
 "There Is no question but that it was the purpose of the bill that samp- lers be paid. The bill requires that samples of foodstuff be taken and analysed. Of course 1t was not expect ed that I, myself, take these samples in CT counties.
 "'rhe biIl furthermore, appropriates $500 per annum for the payment of the chemist for analysing samples. The chemist would get that sum if he analysed 100 or 200 samples. There Is no question but that it was an over sight in that no provision was made for the payment of those who take the samples. Everyone construed the law according to the intention of the law. The auditor drew the warrants for the payment of the salaries and the treasurer paid the warrants.
 We will continue the work. Cover nor ONeal has rushed to the assist anee of the department and we will have three clerks January l. The de- partment is self-stlstaining and has to it's credit in the treasury s12,000 net profit. The amount of salaries paid samplers was trifle more than s7000."
 The commissioner will go to Wash inston January 1, and with a commit tee composed of the commissioners of agriculture of the southern states will appear before the agricultural commit tees of the House and Senate in an effort to secure an appropriation Of s400,O 900 for tick eradication in the south.
 From ticks" stated Captain Kolb we in Alabama lose every year Sl,- 000,0 l feel sure that a large ap- propriation will be obtained. However, each state needs about S4o,O00 for this work and a smaller sum than sl00.000 will not serve the purpose"

 Excitement Among the Boys

If an ordinance proposed by Burr Black burn, titular head of the Boys club, is introduced and adopted by the city com mission. the rights of young America especially that young America which sells newspapers-wil certainly be abridged if not altogether taken away.
 The next step contemplated to be put into effect following the adoption of the stringent and astounding ordinance reg ulating the ages of newsboys. is not known. In city hall circles, however, 1t is generally rumored that if this policy of taxation without representation is persisted in there might be enacted a modern day Boston tea party
 Inasmuch as the enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance is left in the hands of the commissioners, or that one who may be designated as master of cer- emonies by the commissioners, there is speculation as to whom the creator of the ordinance would have put in charge.
 The principal provisions of the ordi- nance, which. if adopted, would revolu- tionize the social and economic status of newsboys without providing means for their support, in case means are neces- sary, follow:
 T. No child under F years of age shall sell newspapers.
 "2 No child under 1G years of age shall sell newspapers unless he has a permit, which might be obtained following the request of his parents, and the statement of the color of his eyes
 '3. The permit shall state the name the date and place of birth name and address of parent, the color of eyes, hair,
