Water by Steam

has measured the water that is pumped
by the city pumping station and has
submitted to the city an estimate on
the costof pumping by electric power
instead OF steam. The steam plant is
giving down from long and uninter =

commissioners will make contract for
electric power in preference to the pur-
chase of new equipment. Engineers for
the company have also measured the
amount of water that goes to waste
down the spring branch with view
of making some use of 1t.

Many Inspectors Expected Today
Personal Gossip OF
The Mine Inspectors
by CLYDE W. ENNIS

Among no class fo public men will one
find greater heroes than among the mine
inspectors gathered here today for the in
spectors' institute The very nature of
their life's work calls upon them to face
trial and travail
Naturally among the inspectors gathered
here one may find men who have wealth
cred the blistering flames of gas ex-
plosions; men who have fought to the
death with the black damp's terrible eff
fects they have one and all participated
in rescues that if related could hardly he
credited by the average layman.
Let a terrible mine tragedy take place
the inspectors rush to the scene. and dis
regarding the dangers rush into the
blaekness of the earth to rescue their fell
low men. They often succeed. They often
fail. With 1t all they see the grim reaper
in the most terrible guise. They see the
home effect of the gruesome tragedies.
and with it all they are optimists. They
laugh with the best of 'em and tell of their
work with refreshing abandon
Their work is of great importance. and it
is extremely appropriate that at this busi-
ness meeting there has been arranged such
an extensive programme of amusement
for the inspectors of the mines.

far above the plants located outside of
the larger centers.
The presence of the officials of the
American Radiator company at the
opening is of more Significance it Ia

opened. That the visit indicates that
the officials of the company are more
than ordinarily interested in Birming-
ham and the company operations here
is the general opinion.
President Wooley has never been in

known here as he frequently visits this

THINK THIRD MAN
+. WILL Be IN RACE
Judge Bradley and DIR. Cam
eron Suggested as Hob
sons Successor

Four men familiar with conditions In
the Sixth district ventured the asser-
ton yesterday that there would be
third entry in the pending congressional
race, in which up to the present time
the only candidates are w. b. Oliver
of Tuscaloosa and w. B. Bankhead -
Walker.
The four were John II. Bankhead. Jr.,
of Jasper; Walter Nesmith, prominent
attorney of Vernon; Sim T. Wright, IN
ternal revenue collector, who formerly
represented Fayette county in the legis-
lature. and George Brown OF Birming-
ham. who is a native of Marion county.
Judge R. L. Bradley of Vernon, Is
discussed as a possible candidate, though
the consensus of opinion am6ng the four
seemed to be that DR.. Bun Cameron of
Eutaw, representa- tive of the Hobson
following, would be more certain to en-
ter.
Mr.. Bankhead stated that the race at
the present time was interesting and that
the people had already become aroused.
He thought 1t very probable that DR..
Cameron would shy his castor into the
ring. Mr.. Nesmith said that the contest
between Bankhead and Oliver would be
close. He declared that he, too, had
heard Dr. Cameron mentioned as a prob
able candidate.
DIR. Cameron was in Birmingham a
few days ago, but did not declare HIM
self ambitious to succeed to the berth
now occupied by Congressman Hobson
He did say, however. that the Hobson
following would be glad to vote for a
| man of the Hobson persuasion, and that
unless such man should enter, the
Hobson clan would not show great en-
thuslasm in supporting either of the
present candidates.
