barney Had Them Sized Up Right

Readers of The HERALD will re-
msmber the hue and cry when 1t was
discovered that the famous highway
hltl Of the Eighteenth assembly was
illegal, owing to missing roll call.
y the investigation which followed,
Senator b. T. Napier Of this district,
insisted that II there was anything
crooked in connection with the pas
sAge Of the bill, 1t could likely be
tfaced to the highway commission.
Events of the past two or three weeks
proves the correctness vi Napier's as
ssrtion. Concerning this matter, last
aturday's Denver Express says:
s"Without q dissenting vote, the
lpuse Of Representatives today con-
jihrred in the senate resolution which
l. 8snounced the expenditures Of the
kate highway commission as ex-
FFavagant and corrupt.
S"Rsa,islns yesterday that ths sres-
olution introduced several days ago
by Hecker, would be adopted, Thoa.
Tulley, member of the highway COM
mission, who is charged, with his
fellow commissioners, with throwing
away the peoples money for Joy
rides, elaborate hospitality at hotels
and fat meals, beat the Investigators
to it. and resigned his position,
though the term would not have ex-
pired until December 81, 1918. Gov
ernor Ammons Immediately ap-
pointed Louis Wyman of Silverton,
to I'LL the vacancy.
Among the most fragrant abuses
noted In the resolution. was bill for
1891 for auto hire and auto repairs
covering "a days. The machine In
question was owned by G. P. Allen, a
member Of the commission and
rented to the stated for $l7.6O per
day. In addition to this, Allen
charged the repairs up to the state
and the bills were paid.
"Hotel bills to the tune Of s4.5O per
day, without meals; meals for one
costing sl2 per day, and such items
as ISIS for q box Of apples for the
members, filled the list of extrava-
gances and convinced every member
that little looking into the matter
was necessary.
'.At the time of the expenditures
noted, Thomas Tulley, VIM. Wiley
and q. P. Allen composed the high
way commission.

Of every community to tell of the hard
times experienced, SO I shall relate
some Of the privations experienced
by the early settlers on White river

"In the early days all we had to eat
for months at time was sour-dough

soup, wild-raspberrries, tbimble ber-

UNION CENTRAL
ENTERS AN APPEAL
Merchant Collects Judgment
When Company Refused
to Answer Questions

Montgomery, January 15.-(Special.p
Questioning the authority of a defend
ant to PROFOUND in.errogatories to de-
termine whether or not fire insur-
ance company is a member OF the
Southeastern Underwriters association,
the Union Central Insurance company
appealed to the supreme court today
from a decision of the Talladega city
court in the case of ]. II. Pepper against
the fire insurance company.
Peppers store at Sylacauga was
burned and he entered a claim for
$500. The company refused to pay on
the grounds that Pepper did not file
proper notice Pepper sued and filed
several interrogatories to determine
whether or not the company was a
member of the Underwriters associa-
ton. An Alabama law provides that
20 per cent of the face value of the
policy can be added If the insurance
company is Il member of the association
and the defendant alleged that the
questions were csked for this puf-
pose.
The company declined to answer on
the ground that 1t would probably be
forced to defend anu-trust proceedings
IL it did. Judge Cecil Brown ordered
the corporation to answer and when 1t
failed to do SO gave Pepper u Judg-
ment by default and added 20 per cen.
to the face value of the policy. The
court then said that the defendant
could not cross-examine Peppers wit
nesses as the company lost its standing
in court when it refused to answer the
interrogatories. If the insurance COM
pany loses every insurance company
that is a member of the Underwriters
association will be affected II 1t does
business in Alabama.
