Atlantic City Prosecutor TO Obey
Oath of Office

Atlantic City, N. J., April 2.-Shore
saloonmen fear that Charles Sum-
ner Moore, son-in-law of United
States Senator Ben Tillman, who be-
came prosecutor of Atlantic county
on March I6, will clamp down the
lid and enforce the law. Commissioner
William H. Bartlett, head of the De-
partment of Public Safety has received
the following letter from him:
It did seem to me that the an
nouncement l made on Monday that
| intended to obey my oath of office
was sufficient to inform the public as
to what policy l would follow in con-
Quoting the office of prosecutor of the
pleas for this county.
= Since then, however, have received
a number of private inquiries from
Atlantic City licensed holders and
others as to what my attitude was go
ing to be with respect to the enforce
ment of the excise laws of this city.
In order to make further inquiry on
this question unnecessary, | am ask
ing YOU, as director of Public Safety
in Atlantic City, to notify all the hold
ers of liquor licenses in Atlantic City
that it is my intention to prosecute
all violations of the excise laws, not
only in Atlantic City, but throughout
the county, as | have already sworn
to do when | took the oath of office.

Saloon Kills Montana Indian

Camas, Mont, March 2o-The body
of a Pend d'Oreille Indian was found
six miles out from Plains by the mail
stage March 20. Two Indians started
out from Plains, intoxicated, having
obtained their liquor from the notorious
licensed saloons of that place. They had
tried to build fire at the place the
body was found From appearances
the dead Indian froze to death as
Tuesday was a terrible night. The
other Indian has not been located up
to date. The body was taken charge
of by officials and held in Plains.

The most important litigation in Con-

The actual bone OF contention is the bill

The bill provides that certain toll must
be paid TO the government by the COM

the passage of the bill is based on the
claim that the government has no right
to exact toll Of this nature, and MOTH

ENSLEY MAN TALKS ABOUT
SUPPRESSION OF SMOKE
by SAM t. KENNEDY

T. b. Parker of Ensley holds some
unique and original ideas in regard to
the .'smoke nuisance" as well as some
that are highly amusing.
Mr.. Parker is an engineer of some
thing like 80 years practical experience.
and. as he says, should know some-
thing about the question"
Since Mr.. Parker is well known in the
Ninth Congressional district of Alabama.
having recently been a candidate for
Congress from this district against os-
car w. Underwood, and in view of his
Lnquestioned ability as an engineer, his
opinions should be interesting and in
structive.
In the last analysis, Mr.. Parkers opin-
ion is to the effect that the only abso-
lutely certain means of abolishing the
smoker nuisance is for every smokestacls
TO be connected with a by-product plant.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Parker
said:
Il do not believe that the abolshment
of the smoke evil is practicable where
bituminous coal is used. Expert stoking
can not be depended upon continuously.
Mechanical stokers are expensive and in
crease the consumption of coal. So-called
smoke consumers only partially abate the
nuisance and are destructive in their eff
feet upon boilers, besides being danger

NEWSPAPER CLUB
WILL GIVE DINNER
Planning for Biggest Cele-
bratiOn of the Kind Ever
Held Here

The Newspaper club of Birmingham is
preparing to celebrate with a dinner.
There is good reason why everyone should
celebrate, the members of the club aver.
The chief event TO be celebrated will he
the Inauguration of DR.. Woodrow Wilson.
Because of this fact, the dinner will prob
ably be held as late as March 4, or possi-
bly, a little later If a later date is chosen
that selection will be due entirely to the
ardent wish of the club that its many
friends who will visit Washington on that
auspicious occasion may return and take
part in the celebration.
John r. Hornady. president Of the club.
has called a meeting for Monday after
noon at o'clock in the directors room
OF the Chamber OF Commerce. All the
pushers of the quill will be on hand.
Plans will be worked out for the biggest
jollfcation in the history of Birmingham.
Those who were fortunate enough to at
tend the late 'possum dinner of the club
expressed the des,re yesterday that they
be invited At the big dinner in celebra-
tion of DIR. Wilson there will be bigger
stunts offered and bigger feed.
Indeed the club is planning the biggest
evening In its history. The dinner will be
on the scale of those given some years
ago. All of the dignitaries of the state
and those who would be dignitaries, all
the candidates real and prospective, all
the applicants for federal office in Ala-

BANKHEAD DECLINED
TO MAKE COMPROMISE

As has been ted In dispatches from
Washington, Senator Bankhead is corfi-
dent that the Coosa river bill will he
passed over the veto of the President.
But the facts have never been told. Had
Senator Bankhead accepted a proposition
rendered him by those interested in the
passage of the Connecticut bill, the Coosa
bill would have already been passed over
the veto of the President
When Senator Bankhead aroused an
ia gonists against the Connecticut bill a.
it stands today, the senator leading the
fight for the passage of that bill, Senator
Burton suggested that if the Connecticut
bill be allowed to pass. the Coosa river
bill would be passed over the veto of the
President.
with all that junk retained in the
bill?" queried Senator Bankhead. with
those provisions FOR governmental control
and reglllations2 Never"
The senator determined to stand for the
principle involved, went to work to defeat
the bill. The committee reported it favor
ably with eight members in line. Later,
absentees returning, Senator Bankhe ad,
with nine members, turned what was at
first considered minority report into a
majority report.

O'NEAL AND SULZER
DO NOT SEE ALIKE.

In this regard, it is interesting to note
the attitude of the governors of Ala
bama and New York. Governor O'Nesl.
as is remembered, declined the request of
the members of the Montgomery CONNER
cial club to deliver to President Taft a
petition that his veto, formerly affixed
to the Coosa river lock bill, be withdrawn,
the citizens desiring that it be withdrawn
on account of their belief that the control
of companies developing the water power
of Alabama was the right of the state and
not of the government.
Governor Sulzer of New York, when
the Long Sault river bill, containing a
provision for governmental exaction OF
a toll. was presented for consideration to
a committee, wired Chairman Hal Flood
that he would send his attorney general to
Washington to contest that point; that,
in his opinion, the control or taxation of
developing companies was a vested right
of the state, and that the power of the
government in reference to water was
effective only in regard to navigation.
The position of Sulzer makes it highly
probable that the government will lose It's
suit Governor O'Nears refusal to act on
the request of the citizens of Montgonl-
cry has not. it is claimed, impaired the
chance of successful passage of the Coosa

For instance. it is remembered that Git

The Semet-Salvay and the I. c. /. by
product plants would be glad to consume
all the smoke delivered to them in good
condition and in merchantable quantities.
