BANKHEAD RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON Campaign Fund Probe Will
 Be Without Effect WILSON WILL WIN" Assault on Roosevelt Will Not Have Much Effect in the Opinion of the
 Senator = Testified Before
 Senate Committee
WILSON WILL WIN"

That the investigation of the Senate into the campaign expenditures of the several presidential candidates will have no prac- tical effect in determining the results of the struggle, was the statement yesterday of Senator John H. Bankhead. The senator has just returned from Washintgon to which city he went for the purpose of giving testimony concern ing the sources of the contributions made to Oscar w underwood's campaign. He remained in Birmingham Tuesday night. and on Wednesday left for Jasper
 T do not believe" said he, that what is revealed as a result of the testimony will have any practical effect on the cleo ton result. As matter of fact, Sene- tor culberson's resolution did not intend, in my opinion, that the expenses of the present campaign be considered It IS very probable that he thought that as q result of the investigation. very interest," ing facts would be disclosed concerning Roosevelt and Taft, both of whom, as all know, have been in other campaigns. When the committee however. determined to pry into the expenses of the candi- uateS ol the present. cdHlpdlSi, NllSO'l, too, was of course considered. Harvester Trust Generous
 Tt has been shown that certain men of money have contributed to the cam paign of each of the candidates. and when one of them refers to the contributions of the other, it will be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. For instance, the Harvester trust contributed to the ex- penses of Roosevelt, and contributed, also to the expenses of Wilson. As a matter of fact, the pre-convention contributions of that trust to Wilson were larger than the pre-convention contributions to Roose~ velt'
 Senator Bankhead testified before the investigating committee that Thomas For tune Ryan of Virginia contributed s35,O00 to the Underwood cause.
 Were the people surprised" he asked, when it became known that We spent only S52,0OO? We had enough money for the work we intended doing, and when the fight was over, there was a residue of about $S0"
 Democratic Success Assured

 Its in the air" said he, that Will son will win. He will probably carry every doubtful state. This seems to be the sentiment in Washington, and Wash ngton sentiment is an excellent barome ter.f
 The senator is of the opinion that the attempt on the life of Colonel Roosevelt made in Milwaukee some days ago. will have very little practical effect on the re- suit. He holds that comparatively few people, if any will desert the standard bearer of democracy or reasons purely sentimental.

DR. EAVES ASKSFOR
 ADDITIONAL FUNDS Anti Tuberculosis AssOcia- tiOn COntemplates Exten-
 sive Improvements

pr. George Eaves yesterday issued the following card to the people of Bir mingham:
 At this moment in the history of the Anti Tuberculosis association 1t seems wise and even necessary to make pub- lie statement, addressed particularly to the friends and supporters of the or ganizatlon.
 Great publicity has been given to the fact that the commissioners of Bir- mingham have now recognized the enormous importance. nay the absolute necessity of the work done by this as- sociation, and have agreed to give us four hundred dollars (s40o) month, which is nearly five thousand dollars t$b000) per year. The county board of revenue has been giving us like amount, and we have politically stated our anticipation that this will be in creased to at least 5000. making a total from public funds of SIP 000 year.
 At first sight this would seem to be stupendous sum, sufficient to carry us indefinitely. Such an impression is absolutely futile. In the fact of 1t, I wish to go on record as urging not less but more gifts from the wide awake and philanthropic public to reinforce what the city and county are now doing, or may be doing after November. This increase of public funds must not be an excuse for us to fall down and do no more than we have been doing, but rather as an encouragement to do great deal more. The s12,00o, which we hope to receive from the pub lie fluids, ought to be matched with not less than sf3,O00 from the public in the sense of generous intelligent citizens who hitherto have been doing very mo- bly, but in quite insufficient numbers.
