SUBCOMMITTEE MUDDLE WILL BE
 'A|RED'' TODAY The County Committee Will Meet at Noon on Call
 of Chairman
NOPAY WILL BE GIVEN
 THE SUBCOMMITTEE
s350O Held Up in Jefferson County Savings Bank by Disagreement Among Sub- Committee Mem
 bers About Remuneration

The truth will be known today, for the county executive committee is going to the depths of that subcommittee muddle.
 The county committee will meet at noon pursuant to a call issued some tifhe ago by Robert N Bell, it's chairman. That gentleman stated in his call that it was the duty of his committee to see who, if anybody, is at fault in that the candidates have not received the surplus of money remaining from the fund collected from them as assessments against primary ex- penses.
 As a result of the meeting sensations are expected. Either the four members of the subcommittee, who constitute a majority, or ]. A. Trice, former chairman of the subcommittee, will be .sustaineo.
 The majority and the chairman, as is known, are on opposite sides of the fence. and by innuendo and direct state ments have seen proper to criticise each other.
 S3500 Fund Held Up
 That which brought the situation to the attenton of the committee of the county was the fact that about $35o0 belonging to candidates was being held in the Jeffer- son County Savings bank.
 Chairman Trice states that this fund is held up by the majority OF account of that majoritys desire to remunerate itself for having served in the honorary ca pacity of guardian angel of the primary.
 The majority, on the other hand, con- tends that the checks signed by Chair man Trice were held up on account of the fact that only Chairman Trice had passed 1,f f1u .fa1 t6of of fr,da faAfa and the majority, in an effort to substan- tiate it's statement, declares that. contrary to a resolution which had previously been adopted, Chairman Trice had awarded a printing contract without consulting other members of the committee.
 No Pay for Members
 It cannot be forecasted of course whether or not the members of the sub committee will request the committee as a whole to permit them to remunerate themselves.
 But it is positive that whether or not the request is made, the committee will pass a resolution or other memorial 60 the end that the members of the sub committee will receive no pay. this be- ing true, despite the fact that 1t is alleged that a majority of the eandi- dates, prior to the primary, expressed a willingness that the members be paid.
 J. A. Trice was appointed chairman of the subcommittee and Charles +. Hall, Samuel B. Stern. J. H. Matthews and Clark Jones. associate members. Following the primary, however. when the muddle became common gossip, MT. Trice was deposed by the majority and Samuel B. Stern chosen to succe ed him.
 The candidates will be paid Monday

Board of Censors Makes Interesting Report, Urging More Efficient Reports on Vital Statistics.
 Convention Was Success

pr. Harry T. Irge of Mobile was elect ed president of the Alabama Medical as- sociation yesterday morning at the busi- ness session in the Jefferson theatre. pr. Inge will serve a term of one year, succeeding pr. Lewis Coleman Morris of Birmingham, who has so successfully lead the doctors during the past year.
 Other candidates for the presidency were: pr. D. B. Sims of Talladega, I'r. K. M. Cunningham of Birmingham and pr. Watkins.
 The secret ballot plan was used dur ing the election and it was after 12 o'clock when the voting was under full sway. pr Blair of Sheffield was elected vice president for the northern part of the state of Alahama Dr. W. H. Sanders and Dr. Russell M. Cunningham were elected members of the state board of oensors for period of five years and Dr. Moore of Mobile was elected to the Loard of censors to fill the unexplred term of pr. T. l.. Robertson, resigned.

 It was decided to hold the next years convention in Mobile and the members of the profession in the down state city \ i'll begin work at once on programme for inc entertainment of the delegates.
 The report of the board of censcrs was one of the most interesting features of the last days session of the conyen- ton. The censors were strong in urging a more efficient report of vital statistics in Alabama. The report indicated that during the year 1911 there were 32G35 deaths in this state, while only 11,16S deaths were reported. Normally there should have been 54,S25 births, while only s9 16s were reported. The death rate used in Alabama is 15 per thousand lop- rlation, and the birth rate is figured at 9 per thousand population.
 A more careful report in mortuary and vital statistics would save the people thousands of dollars in insurance money, it was stated, as the death rate used is generally considered to be faeetious one.
 The censors urged the support of Ala bama physicians toward the adoption of the owen bill by Congress.

FIRE DESTROYS BIG STAMP
MILL; DAMAGE $500, 900

The 110 stamp mill owned by the
San Miguel Consolidated Mining COM
pany of Telluride, located in Bear
puitn and under lease to the Jun.a
Gold Mining and Milling company, was
destroyed by fire last week, causing
loss of 100000, with no insurance.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by defective light wiz, irsu-
lation.
The fire was discovered about 8
O'Clock by the night watchman. The
flames then were already beyond CON
troll and were leaping seventy-five feet
into the air. A high wind was blow
ing at the time.
A 10000 volt power line belonging
to the Champion mine tramway was
connected with the Bear creek mill,
and greater loss of property was prob
ably prevented by the watchmar. who
broke the line in two with shovel.
The wind changed about an hour
after the fire started, causing The
flames to spread to all the outbm!d-
Egs, including bunk houses, except
the boarding house, which was net
damaged.
The fire will prove a great piisfor-
time for the Junta company, since it
expected to have the mill in operation
by June 10, as well as a tram nway,
which il was constructing frJm It's
mines to the mill. The company has
one mill of its own, but with the lease
of the Fear creek plant it woui nave
been enabled to handle its enti-, out
put Silverton Miner.
