DIRECTORS APPROVE
OFFER TO THE CITY
Sloss Co. to Remove Slagpile
and Open Second Ave-
nue. Shortly

The commission has been advited
in New York passed favorably upon
tho offer made here recently in con-
nection with the removal of the coke
ovens and the opening of Second ave-
nue.. The formal action followed the
return OF an attorney from the COM
pany who was here and presented the
proposition. 1t was announced that
within a reasonable time the Sloss
company Will remove the coke ovens
and open Second avenue through he
Stag pile as agreed upon.
Ii Is gathered that the Sloss com
pany will arrange these details DUR
ing the next few months in accordance
with the agreement made that by Jan-
uary l all the propositions must be
carried out.
By this compromise of the Stag pile
controversy the city wins totally un-
expected victory which is the removal
of the coke ovens That concession was
made by the company without any pres-
sure from the commission. In order
to perform that service to the COM
munity the Sloss company will be
forced to build coke ovens at Re-
public or elsewhere and that will in
volve a considera BILE cost. Work as to
the new coke ovens Will be started
within the next few weeks. it is updss-
stood.

PRATT OFFICIALS
. GOING TO CAPITAL
TO TESTIFY TODAY
All Details of Convict Con-
tract Will Probably Be
Brought Out
WILL TRY TO SHOW
IT'S ADVANTAGES
Testimony Will Be of Special Inter-
est Because of Wide Publicity
Which Has Been Given
the Lacy Theft

For the purpose of throwing additional
light into the scandal of the state convict
department, officials of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company will go to Mont
gomery this morning. This afternoon
they viii probably take the witness stand
The Pratt party will consist of George
B. Mccormack, Erskine Ramsay, w. A
Gibson, superintendent of convicts; John
II. Bankhead. Jr counsel, and Auditor
Shook. They will carry books showing
the business relationship between the
state and the company, and Auditor Shook
will go into the minutest detail.
The Pratt company at the beginning Of
the ONeal administration leased its Ban
ner mine at Littleton to the state, in
which state convicts have since been
worked as coal diggers The state, with
its agents, mines the coal and the COM
pany pays for the coal after it has been
mined. washed and placed ON the car.
As result of the testimony of the Of
ficials, facts and causes leading up to the
signing of the Banner mine contract will
probably be developed. AS is known
there has been persistent effort from GER
tain quarters to show that the company
secured a most advantageous contract,
that there was no competitive bidding
and no other companies given chance
to bid, and that the contract was bad
bargain for the state
1t is thought probable that it will be
shown today that James G. Oakley. for
ner president of the convict department.
endeavored to discuss the matter of re-
newing the contract previously existing
with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road company, and that pending time
in which this discussion could occur, he
delayed until November H. 1912. 1t will
probably be shown that the Pratt COM
pany executed a bond in the sum of $780,
900 as a guarantee that from the Banner
contract the state would net as large
return as had been netted from the Ten
nessee company contract.
As the matter of the Banner mine con-
tract has been discussed most frequently
and from many diverse angles since the
discovery of the loot of the convict de-
partment's funds, the testimony of the
Pratt officials today will be awaited
with great and widespread interest.

BRAY AND TOPPING
ARE EXPECTED SOON
Thought Two Republic Com
pany Officials Will Ar
rive Next Week

For the purpose of inspecting the local
properties of the Republic company John
&. Topping. chairman of the board of
directors, and President T. ]. Bray are
expected in this city next week. The local
officials have been SO advised The Of
iicials have remained away from Brming
ham about IA months, the last visit being
In January of last year
From statements made yesterday it is
understood that nothing out of the gen.
eral inspection routine brings the of
iicials from Pittsourg at this time They
are accustomed to visit the properties
fere once every year or oftener and that
il the reason for the trip.
However il is generally understood that
the Republic company has outlined an
extensive programme of betterments,
which may be announced by Chairman
Topping when he arrives next week lie
usually makes some announcement of
more than passing interest when he vis-
its this city.
Mr.. Topping is deeply interested in Bir-
mineham and Ii is recalled that he said
on his last visit that there was no uues-
ton but what his company would con-
struct finishing plants here when the time
was opportune. lie added at that time
that on account Of extensive betterments
on the tube works no appropriations were
ready for this district. It Is believed
that as the Republic company has re-
Gently acquired extensive additional coal
properties and have a very large ore
holding that something in the nature ,f
additional plants will engage the atten-
ton of the officials soon.
