MONEY PAID ILLEGAL
Ex-Superintendent of Education Nc
Clennan Owes State $S99.25 for
- Salaries Paid Teachers With
4 out Legal Authority

MONTGOMERY. October 25.--(Special3
Owing to negligent and careless meth.
DDS of bookkeeping, W. II. Mcclellan,
superintendent or education of
Limestone county, owes the state of
Alabama $S99.25. for salaries paid
teachers without legal authority, ac-
cording to report submitted to Gov
ernor O'Neal today by Examiner of
Public Accounts j. 7. German. In adj
dltion to the money illegally paid to
teachers, Mr.. Mcclellan also owes the
state small sum of money which he
collected from the library fund and
illegally distributed to school districts.
, and $11s.54 which he collected as rent
on sixteenth section lands, and turned
over to the treasurer of school funds
rather than to the state superintend-
ent of education.
The money paid out for teachers sal
aries was held to be Illegal because
of the fact that Mr.. Mcclellan used
that much of the state appropriation
for the payment of debts which had
accrued during the previous year.
Mr.. German cites an opinion of At
torney General r. C. Brickell regard
ing the payment of teachers salaries:
Il am of the opinion said the at
torney general, that the county boards
have no right to use any of the money
apportioned by their counties for the
payment Of any debt which has ac-
crued any previous year.
! Mr.. Mcclellan, and the county board
spf education are held jointly liable to
the state for the payment OF the
money.
According to the examiner: "The rec
ords of his office are very imperfectly
Kept. He practically had no system of
bookkeeping"

London, October 2.-The British gov
eminent is awaiting quietly the outcome
of the Mexican elections, believing that
they will help to solve the difficulties
of that much perplexed country, and
that when they have BEEN disposed Of
other interested powers will find a COM
mon ground for action tending to bring
about peace.
At any rate, the British government
does not wish to interfere and declares
that it has not interferred in any way
with the internal affairs of Mexico.
Every move it has maze mas been sim
ply taken with the objec. of projecting
it's interests. Even now, while other
European powers are sending warships
to the disturbed area, 1t is pointed out
Great Britain has refrained from doins

is any danger.

States and England are concerned, there
has not been any development since AM
bassador Walter II. Page visited Sir Ed
ward Grey at the foreign office last
Monday. and none is expected until after
the results of the Mexican elections are
known Sir Edward Grey will not re-
turn to London until Tuesday, which
tends to belie reports that there has been

to go by, British officials are unwilling

possible that Sir Lionel Garden himself
might have done SO. either through the
representative of the United States In
Mexico or through the British embassy
at washington. As far as the British

has not changed its usual policy of
taking no notice of press reports un.

Likewise nothing is known here Of

Garden had told President Huerta that
Great Britain desired him to support

interference i'm the internal affairs OF

ernment Is opposing.
As matter of fact, the British pol
Icy is one of non-interference and this
was the gist of the foreign Offices in
struetions to Sir Lionel Garden.
England still is OF the opinion, how
ever that no mistake was made when
the majority of the powers recognized
Provisional President Huerta. The 9TH
er European powers notably Germany
with which. however, no exchanges
have taken place, still are quoted as
supporting that view.

WASHINGTON, March IA broad,
constructive political policy during
his administration of the affairs of
the United States was pledged to the
people by Woodrow Wilson in his in
augural address delivered here today.
which he closed with an appeal to
all patriotic men. irrespective of par
ty, that they aid him in carrying out
that policy.
I'VE shall restore, not destroy. .
said the president in summing up his
proposed alterations in legislative,
governmental and industrial affairs
Existing conditions demanding chang
through legislative action were partic
ularized by President Wilson as fol
lows:
"A tariff which cuts off from our
proper part of the commerce of the
, world. violates the just principles Of
taxation. and makes the government
a facile instrument in the hands oi
private interests.
"A banking and currency system
based upon the necessity OF the gov
ernment to sell it's bonds SO years
ago. and perfectly adapted to concen
trating cash and restricting credits.
"An industrial system, which. takt
it on all sides, financial as well a.
administrative, holds capital in lead
ing strings, restricts the liberties
and limits the opportunities of labor
and exploits without renewing or con
serving the natural resources Of the
: country.
