M. 7. Kerr of Mississippi Creates
Sensation by Charging Politics
Being Played in Convention.
Keller Tells Why Models
Were Not Sent

Despite the fact that only brief ses-
sions of the National Federation of
Good Roads were held yesterday on
account of the potlatch festival, the
permanent organization was affected,
committees appointed and the decks
cleared for action.
Senator John H. Bankhead and Asa
Rountree were named permanent pres
ident and secretary. respectively, of the
convention. The convention is now
prepared to take up the order of busi-
ness this morning, hear the reports of
the committees and transact any busi-
ness that may come before the body.
Kerr Prefers Charges
Some comment was occasioned last
night when M. T. Kerr of Mississippi
charged in open session that politics
was being played in the convention.
This brought an instant and emphatic
denial from Senator Bankhead, who
dfsclaimed any knowledge of what the
gentleman from Mississippi was speak
ing of.
Mr.. Kerr was protesting against the
postponement of action until today. He
did not think that the convention should
have adjourned for the potlatch parade
and 1t was in the course of a speech
urging immediate action that he made

heading of Three Ms in Road Building.
The first of these essentials is men. Be-
fore any high way propaganda can be
successfully launched an enthusiastic
number of patriotic, broad minded. public
spirited men must be willing to lay aside
personal feelings and preferences and
give of their time and attention for the
out proper legislation.
''The basic principal upon which all good
road work is done depends upon proper
legislative enactments. In other words,
some governmental body must be respon-
sible for the building of public roads, and
it usually devolves upon the legislature
of the various states to create such laws
as will enable the officials to get results.
"The last one of these essentials which
| desire to call to your attention is
money. Those of you who have had any
experience in road building know how
essentially important it is to have money
in constructing public roads. And / want
to say right here that it not only takes
money, but plenty of 1t, to build roads.
While road material is plentiful and
everywhere to be found. at the same time
the expense of grading more than offsets
the saving in having material near at
hand.
MY hobby is that of permanent road
building. / am aware of the fact that to
build a road so that 1t will stay built for
a number of years. requires a consider
able outlay of money, but what we must

the charge. He said that politics and
road building would never go together
that politics must be separated from
road building before any results would
be accomplished. He protested against
the early adjournment No other COM
ment than Senator Bankhead's state
ment that .if politics is being played
at this meeting / know nothing of it,"
and the meeting adjourned at $40 for
the potlatch
Another interesting feature of the
evening session was the statement OF
State Highway Engineer w. S. Kel-
Ter in regard to the good roads models
which were not sent here from Mont
scmery. Mr. Keller said that he thought
the state highway department had been
done an injustice by criticism for not
sending the models here. He said that
he had not been invited to attend the
congress except by ID. NJ. Potter of
Arizona and he was present as a dele
gate from another organization. He said
that If the officers of the federation
had applied to him he would have sent
the models here He also said that no
request had been made of him for the
models
Mr.. Rountree in answer to Mr.. Keller
stated that no discourtesy had been
shown the state highway department
He explained that he had asked the
United states government to order the
models here because. as the federation
was national organization, he desired
recognition from the national govern
mcnt. No discourtesy to the state high
way department had been intended, he
stated. AS for the invitation Mr.. Roun-
tree said that he had written to the
head of the state highway commission
inviting him to attend the federation
and requesting that he extend an Off
c'al invitation to the members of his
department to be present.
Senator Bankhead then said that it
was nov too late for the models to be
sent to Birmingham to do any good aod
that 1T was of no grave consequence
He asked that the matter be dropped
which was done.

 to Be Judge.

Daley and McCarty quit training yesterday for their go tomorrow night at the Elks' opera house, and today and tomorrow will do just light work. The weighing in ceremonies will be superintended by Brick Clark, sporting editor of the Democrat, who has consented to see that the boys come to the scale with all the prop CT conditions. The boys will go on the scale five hours before the fight.
 The fight fans have been endeavor- ing all week to get a line on Me Carty and Daley and their compara- tive chances but this has been a diff ficult thing owing to the fact that they have not met the same men as far as the local sports are con cerned. If McCarty has trimmed some of the men that got to Daly early in his career the fans have the satisfaction of knowing Daly has inn proved so much as to be different man.
 McCarty has been seen to work out by a number of fans who are en- thusiastic about his condition and de- clare that he will finish Daly in fig time Then there are those who have noticed Daly's improvement while in training for this go and they are as enthusiastic as to the chances of their man.

 Although the Wolves secured twice as many hits as the home club they were unable to make them count for more than one run. A double play upset Wolvertons hopes on two occasions. Venice batsmen hit safely in but two innings.

WORLDS AUTO CENSUS

At the recent session of the Third International Road congress held in London d census was compiled of the worlds automobile and motor-driven vehicles.
 The figures given are amazing. The number of motor vehicles at present in use the world over is 1,161,911. Of these 1,024,913 were automobiles and 136, 998 were motorcycles.
 The United States leads the world bv a large majority. We have in use 628.185 motor vehicles. England comes next with 125,728 France is third with S9,185. and Germany next with 70,O06
 Among the interesting items in this census is one showing the growth of the commercial auto truck. The to- tai now in use is put at 69,556, though these figures do not include Amer separately listed Germany uses three times as many motor trucks as pleasure cars, viz, 49,12 motor trucks. as against 15,61S automobiles.
 The motor is taking it's conquering way all over the world. There were 1041 in Egypt. 1169 in the Straits Settlements, 659 in Burma Qndla)' 32OO in the Transvaai and 35l Tn little Morocco. Among the countries from which no figures were obtained were Spain, Russia, Hungary. Portugal Bulgaria, Western Australia. Natal Algeria and Ceylon.
