KOLb OPTIMISTIC
AS TO THE OUTLOOK
Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Believes He Will Be
Next Governor

Montgomery, January So Specially }
Capt Reuben f. Kolb. commissioner of
agriculture and industries, declares he
will be the next governor of Alabama
According to Captain Kolb, he has re-
ceived more than 2000 letters from
friends throughout the state indorsing
his candidacy, and he says he has every
possible assurance from these friends
that he will make a winning fight In
the next gubernatorial campaign
During the past two months, since
announced for governor. | have been in
a large number of counties of the state.
and ~at every place l have visited /
have received the assurance that l will
be elected declared Captain Kolb. I'm
fact, my campaign looks more promis-
ing every day, and / have not the least
doubt concerning my chances of sue
cess,
Captain Kolb attributes much of the
favor which his candidacy has received
to be in a good cause. and the favor
form to be popular one. According to
the commissioner of agriculture the
people of the state are tired of liquor
agitation they want better roads, bet
ter educational facilities and freedom
from further railroad controversies
But above all things else" said Cap
tain Kolb, "the people want curtail-
ment of expenditures more economi-
cal administration of governmental af-
fairs. A less expensive, but at the same
time an efficient system of transacting
the peoples business is what the state
wants, and that is one of teh principal
planks in my platform.
Il believe my fight for the abolition
of needless departmental expenditures
to be in a good couse, an dthe favor
with which my candidacy has met in
various parts of the state furnishes me
every proof that the people will support
me in my fight for economy and for
those other ideals and principles which
are incorporated in my platform"

ENGLAND STIRRED
OVER ACTIONS Of
I THE SUFFRAGETTES
Labor Party Advocates Suf-
frage = Ireland and
Scotland Join the
FiascO

London, January 30.-The British labor
Tarty today officially declared itself IN
favor of women suffrange. By vote
of $50 to 4S7 conference of the repre-
sentatives OF most of the trade move
ments of the United Kingdom adopted a
resolution instructing labor members OF
parliament to oppose any franchise bill
in which women were not included The
significance to the women suffrage move
nent of this resolution is very great. The
trades unions have between 100000 and
100000 members, nearly all of whom are
electors at the ballot box, and their atti-
tude would carry enormous weight in
case women suffrage was made a plank
in the programme of any party at a
general election.
Mrs. Emmellne Pankhurst, In a speech
at a meeting of the womens Social and
Political union tonight, said that the
militant suffragettes intended to carry
on the Eight with in creasingly effective
usl shods until the vote was granted to
men. They were obliged to strike the
my, the government, through other
pie but she explained that that was
ays necessary in revolutionary war
2. Whatever was done she would take
full responsibility.

ELbEFELD AFTER
GOOD OUTF|ELOER

Chattanooga, January 30.--The one real
worry of Manager Kid Elberfeld at the
present time is the acquisition of a gem
uine class A outfielder. A man who can
walop the globule right around the magic
mark and field something like Roy Mo
ran. Powell, the member of the Spokane
club, after whom the locals are angling
at present, may be able to meet the re-
quirements, but from this angle it seems
that there is but little chance of secur-
ing the Northwestern product Elberfeld
cannot see where he is worth Massey
Hannah and Grover, and President Steen
of the Spokane club can't see where he is
worth any less.
If Powell is not secured and in case
he does not prove a real star there is no
denying that the local outfield is rather
weak, both on offensive and defensive.
Cruise and Forsythe are the cream Of
those under contract and neither is a
tried quantity.

STATE ASSESSMENT
BOARD TO CONVENE
Purpose to Adjust Assess
ments Made on Western

Montgomery, January @.-(Speclal1.-
meeting of the state board of assess
rients will shortly be held for the pur-
pose of adjusting the assessments made
On the property of the Western of Ala
hama Railroad company in Montgomery.
: his action has been rendered necessary
as the result of credits which the rail-
road company has received on the ASSESS
ments made by the board of revenue and
on those made by the state tax com
mission.
The Western of Alabama returned to
the state board of assessments 5A miles
cf traekage in the city of Montgomery
after which 1t was learned that the rail-
road company had been for years past
returning 1859 miles of trackage in the
City. Application was then made by the
city to the state board of assessments,
and as a result the original assessment
'vas reinstated, that Is on 1853 miles Of
trackage instead of 514 miles.
Prior to this action the part OF
the board, the tax assessor of Montgom-.
cry county had assessed 70 acres of land
belonging to the Western of Alabama
and other improvements at $s00eo.
After the action of the state board, the
attorney for the railroad company ap-
peared before the board of equalization
and obtained a reduction of $4,000 in the
assessment made by the tax assessor.
\ similar reduction was secured from the
slate tax commission on the intangible
assessments which had been made by the
tax commission, making two credits
which the railroad company had received,
whereas, In the opinion of officials OF
the state, the railroad company had been
entitled to neither reduction.
The matter will come up before the
state board of assessments in few days,
at which time the two credits will prob
ably be withheld, and the old assessment
reinstated
