Members of the state and city boards

are still at 1t report that they found
sanitary conditions very bad. In one

found that the beds had never been

HOUSE TO CONSIDER
WOOL TARIFF BILL

Washington. August 2.-Tarfn revision
legislation with the prospect OF Congress
hoping soon 10 terminate It's present ses-
sion was pushed forward today in botn
Houses of Congress.
Complete agreement on wool tariff bill
similar to that vetoed by President Taft
last summer and upon a steel and iron
tariff were reached today between the
House and Senate committees. Formal
action on the part of the Senate Is re-
duired TO carry out the agreement on the
steel bill, but such action Is expected at
the opening OF the session tomorrow. The
Senate viii vote to give up its steel bill
amendment to repeal the Canadian reci-
procity law and the two houses then will
be in accord.
On the wool bill the House and Sen
ate compromised within a few minutes
after the committees met today. The
basis of agreement provides for raise
on wool duty Of 70 per cent. This meas
ure will be taken UP and passed In the
House tomorrow and probably will reach
the Senate for final discussion during the
day.
The House, after some debate, passed
a cotton tariff bill, which Is the sams
as that vetoed by President Taft last
year. A reduction of duties of p per
cent is claimed for 1t. and the Senate
will probably pass 1t within a short time.

the Hooper delegates bolted and or

was addressed by Governor Hooper and
gave him enthusiastic Endorsement.
Governor Hooper said in his address
to the boilers convention that he
would vote for President Taft, but
would not go any further in his sup
port of Mr.. Taft He said he entered

SAYS TAFT FAILED
TO MEET ISSUES
Roosevelt Has Almost Com
pleted His Speech for the
Chicago Convention

Oyster Bay, N. Y, August FIT was
the only thing the supreme court could
have done,' said Colonel Roosevelt to-
day of the courts ruling which permits
Roosevelt candidates. for electors to have
their names on the republican primary
ballots in Kansas. The colonel said IL
concerned him little whether the Roose-
welt electors went on the republican or
national progressive ticket, but he ex-
pressed pleasure at the supreme court 5
finding.
Although Colonel Roosevelt has adopt
ed the name national progressive" to
designate the new party, he said that
the official title would be decided upon
by the Chicago convention. He added
that the name used in any state was of
no consequence, as long as the party
supported the national progressive ticket
and was genuinely Independent.
President Taft failed to meet the live
issues in his speech, accepting the repub-
lican- presidential nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt said today. The President, Mr.,
Roosevelt commended seemed to be afraid
to commit himself on the questions of
the hour, such as the collection of tolls

yelts confession of faith, to be made in
Chicago next week In a speech in which
he says he takes more interest than any
other he has ever delivered, ia almost

republican party, he said he had felt
that he must shape his personal utter
ances to conform with the position of
the party. With this restraint removed
he will father measures which he feels
may give his supporters new conception
of his position. 1t IL expected Colonel
Roosevelt's speech will be Of much IN

AUTOMOBILE MAN
EXPECTS BIG TRADE
Chalmers Sales Manager
Says Prosperity in South
Means Big Sales

That the south is in the midst OF a
boom of prosperity and that Birming-
ham and the state of Alabama are es-
pecially favored was the statement last
night of w. F. Cornell of Detroit, Mich,
sales manager of the Chalmers Motor
company, who is in Birmingham
Il am just completing my second tour
of the southern country" he said, "anl
am greatly impressed with the pros
porous conditions throughout the
south. l wish to emphasize it. espe-
cially IN Alabama and Birmingham.
The prospects for the automobile in

I'm northern Mississippi, despite the
disastrous floods of the spring, l was
agreeably surprised to find that bus

tomobile industry in Birmingham and
throughout Alabama at this time I can
say that prospects were never better.
1t is my belief that automobile sales
will be tripled this season over last
season. An added improvement to the
business in Birmingham is the mum
from the field, leaving the large deal
ers, who handle high-grade cars, a
better chance to increase their sales.
Il VIII give you three reasons why
the automobile business of the south
will be tripled in volume of business
for the 1918 season. The first and most
important is the present outlook for
crops. The cotton crop is good and
will bring a fair price. This means
plenty of money for the farmer and
ultimately for the community in gem
eral. The second is that the southern
states are expanding more money on
their roads In making improvements.
find that the good roads movement
has forced the southern states to dou-
BILE their expenditures toward the
building and upkeep of roads. Reason
number three is the changed attitude
of the banks toward loans for buying
automobiles. Heretofore banks looked
coldly on such loans. Banks are look
ing on automobiles at present as profit
able assets to the farmer, merchant
and business man and anyone of good
standing In the community can easily
secure a loan at low rate of in

SLOW PROGRESS IN
THE BARROW TRIAL

Los Angeles, August 2.--The much
discussed secretly procured steno-
graphic report OF conversations be-
tween Clarence s. barrow and John X.
Harrington again proved a source OF
delay in the bribery trial today of
Clarence S. barrow and brought to a
temporary halt the cross-examlnation
of the defendant.
Asserting that he could show thst
barrow did tell Harrington last Sep
tember that he had $4,000 In currency
for purpose of reaching" jurors in the
Mcnamara case. Assistant District Al
torney Ford asked barrow II he had
not admitted to Harrington on Febru-
airy Il. last, IN local hotel that he
did make the statement and had asked
Harrington not 10 tell of 1t to the
grand jury
The conversation in question was one
OF those said to have beeen heard by
stenographers through a telephone de-
vice and the defense raised the con-
tention that the question could not be
asked barrow because. as part of the
states main case, it could not now be
introduced in rebuttal of Darrow's tes-
timony.
The afternoon session was consumed
with argument. At adjournment time
Judge Hutton announced he would take
the subject under ADJUSTMENT until to-
morrow morning.
