Takes Subject Before His
Associates for Final
Disposition
by HUGH W. ROBERTS

II will require more than the fascinating
gyrations of a modern Salome to gain
the head of Chief Bodeker. for Judge
Lane made the statement yesterday that
he would be guided, in whatever recon-
mendation he might make to the commits
sion as whole, by facts and not fancies.
The commissioner of public justice made
1t Enthusiastically plain that he was not,
in the present situation, endeavoring to

before the people the members of the
commission.

In furtherance of that intention very
quietly the commissioner is conducting an
examination. Yesterday he dictated sew

to be possessed of facts which might
throw light on the mooted question as

American Cyanamide Co.
Now Practically Ready
to Go to Canada
INVESTMENT MEANS
FULLY SIS, 100000
Freeman Expresses Hope That If
Taft Will Not Reconsider, Con-
gress May Pass the Bill
Over His Veto

Alabama stands to lose an investment
of s5,50oO0o unless President Taft recon-
siders his veto of the Lock IS bill. The
reason for hasty action in that matter
and the reason why the bill cannot wait
upon President Wilson, where 1t might
be favorably received, was given out
yesterday by w w. Freeman of the
Alabama Interstate Power company.
Mr. Freeman said that the American
Cyanamide company with a plant now
in Canada was to double it's capacity.
The company was financed by Sperling
& Co, of London, the financial hackers of
the Alabama Interstate. The officers of
Sperling & Co. directed the Canadian
company to lay plans to come to Ala
bama However, when the President We
toed the bill the company was directed
to go to Canada. Later developments
caused Sperling & Co. to instruct the
fertilizer company to wait awhile. pend
ing an effort to get President Taft to
reconsider his veto. That is practically
the situation now.
Mr. Freeman said that Lock IS could
wait but unless action is taken soon by
President Taft or by Congress over his
veto this immense Investment would be
lost to Alabama.
He added that in the course of or 10
years the development would go OH, but
that in the meantime Alabama would
have lost the initial plant dependent upon
this water power.
''The erection of the dam. locks and
other necessary parts of the Lock Is with
the plant of the American Cyanarnide
company will represent an investment of
s.. .5oO,O ,Ooo' said Mr.. Freeman. "That can
not wait and that is the chief of all
reasons why we are anxious for Presi-
dent Taft to give us rights at Lock IS.
If he would only withdraw his veto the
work would start. If he does not re-
our work here and the progress of this
state will not be hindered through the
failure of Congress to pass that bill
over the Presidents veto.
"The company which has been financed
by Sperling & Co. will go to Canada
unless this is done. I believe when Presi-
dent Taft receives Governor O'Neal with
this tremendous endorsement of this
project. he will see that the favorable
progress OF great industry in Alaba,na
depends upon his favorable action"
The American Cyanamide company ex-
tracts calciuf cyanamlde from the air,
which is made into high grade fertilizer
and is of tremendous value. 1t was said
Yesterday that 1t costs the farmers of

is BODEK Err RESPONSIBLE
FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT?

There are several matters into whicn n
the commissioners will inquire before
rendering a verdict as to the competency
of Chief Bodeker.
They will consider the fact that mem
ber Of the police department is at the
present time In Jail charged with high
way robbery committed against negro
The reckless firing of weapons on crowd
ed thoroughfares by policemen will also
be matter to be considered The fact
that two officers were recently dismissed
for alleged official misconduct will be
considered. The report that policeman
while ON duty some time ago drew his
weapon and threatened to shoot the bill
lard balls off the table in a place OF
amusement will be considered. The
charge of Judge Fort to the grand jury,
In which was included a statement tina [
gambling was freely indulged in, Will
be considered.
And after the consideration the COM
mssioners will answer. by their verdict,
the question--.'Is Bodeker to blame?"
Is Bodeker to blame IL the department
is demoralized? Is Bodeker to blame be-
cause Judge Wood tried a certain indlvid-
ual under ar assumed name and fined
that individual under an assumed name?
Is Bodeker responsible for the system
