JOHNSTON GREETS
BANKHEAD IN CITY
Both Senators Here Yester-
day-JOhnstOn Planning
Vigorous Campaign

Senator Joseph F. Johnston, after
spending several days on his farm in
Madison county, returned to Birmingham
head, in order to see the sights, visited
the city from his home in Jasper. The
two senators met in the afternoon and
talked together for few moments. They
will return to Washington Friday or
Saturday of this week.
Senator Johnston, in answer to the ru-
mors of his political enemies to the eff
feet that "his lack of health would elm
mate him from the impending race said
81 am in very good health and in this
fight to the end. After the race it will
be found that it is not l who am in need
of a DOCTOR"
Following the conclusion of the extra
session, Senator Johnston will return to
Alabama and begin Vigorous campaign.
Senator Banl<head came to the city on
private business. He will be here during
the good roads convention, and will de-
liver an address. He is chairman of the
Senate committee on post roads and post
offices and will be in better position this
year than ever before to do effective
work for good roads in Alabama.
Il am glad stated the senator. that
Cullman and Madison have recently vot-
ed favorably on bond issues for good
roads and l believe that Blount win fol-
low suit. The public is becoming aroused
to the necessity of good roads, and this
will result eventually in model highways
throughout Alabama"

DAUGHTER OF POSTMASTER
ALDRICH WRITES HIM-REM-
INISCENsES OF GREAT FLOOD
OF 1884

That the flood conditions in Cincinnati
are far worse than the casual outsider
might realize is indicated in letter
which was received by Postmaster T. H.
Aldrieh yesterday from his daughter, Mrs
J. w. Heron of Cincinnati. Mrs Heron
stated in the letter that the city was
completely cut off. and that it was Inn
possible to get out of town by rail in any
direction. The letter was written
March 81.
Mr.. Aldrich was IN Cincinnati during
the great flood of 1884, which was the
highest water ever experienced in that
city, and which was only three inches
higher than at the present time. He told
yesterday of some of his experiences at
that time. and as it is no doubt as bad
now as was then. things are at a critical
stage

SPECIAL ELECTION
MAY Be NEEDEDFOR
NEW SCHOOL BONDS
Need for Better Facilities
Said By Authorities To
Be Growing More Des-
perate Every Day

The members of the board of educa-
ton are seriously perturbed as regards
that bond Issue they desire for the erec-
ton of new schoolhouses and the improve
ments of the old.
There was considerable hope that the
matter of the bond issue for sl,5oo,O0O
might be submitted to the people in the
municipal primary, but since II has devel-
oped that the primary will be ordered late,
probably In August, that hope has about
died August, it is stated, will be too
late, as the board wants to get the build
ings planned and under way of eonstruc-
ton by the beginning of summer.
1t will require more than a year. stat
ed John L. Parker. president of the
board, yesterday. ITO finisll the build
ings we contemplate. 1t Is our hope
to have everything in readiness for the
accommodation of the children by Septem-
ber, 1914. So it is plain that we will have
to begin operations early in the summer.
There is desperate need for the Improves
ments. and the need is growing daily
1T is recognized that the only source
of relief is bond election. There is 10
question but that the people would express
themselves favoraby on the issuance of
the bonds. IT is hoped, therefore. that a
municipal election will be ordered for May
or June at the latest"
This matter of issuing bonds has been
before the commissioners of the city for
some time. 1t is understood that they
agree that there is need for more school
buildings and that the source of relief is
through a special election. The board OF
education will hold its regular meeting
Monday, and it is probable that at that
meeting some action will he taken as a
result of which the conditions will be
again presented to the commissioners.
II is stated that 81 100000 will be required
for the construction of new buildings and
the Improvement of old buildings. The
additional expense in payment of salaries
and general upkeep will be borne by the
municipal government. II is probable that
II is the latter fact which has caused
delay in ordering the special bond elec-
tion.

ANXIOUS TO HAVE
POTLATCH BUTTONS
WORN BY ALL BUYERS
Elks Appoint Committee to
Look After Their In
terest in Voting
Contest

In connection with the activity that
is developing among the churches es-
pecially the women members and the
other organizations of the city which
are eligible to participation in the pot
latch election It was announced yester-
day in the potlatch committee that ev-
eryone should wear their buttons.
1sue etaoshrdlueta oinshrdlu
1t is not only proper. 1t was said,
that all good citizens of the city should
buy a potlatch button and thereby
prove themselves good Indians" but
that they should wear the button af-
ter they have 1t. 1t appears that many
are not doing this.
AS there will be one or two more
campaigns for day or so before the
potlatch festival, it is necessary that
every one wear the button in order to
be immune from further attacks from
the selling teams.
The Elks appointed committee of
20 to take charge of their interest In
the election campaign which is now
under way and which ends the first
day of the potlatch. The Elks are work
ing hard for the honor of winning the
Contest anu also the 9AfV lHdl SoeS
with 1t.
The principal contest so far is be-
tween the Elks and the Shriners in
the election to decide on the most pop
ular fraternal or labor organization
Several churches have begun soliciting
votes from their friends also and some
of the lady members of these organ
izations intend to sell potlatch buttons
among their friends in order to secure
votes.
The work In the button selling cam
paign is progressing very nicely Each
of the 20 committees is endeavoring to
put in at least two hours work each
day and reports coming into the Cham
her of Commerce indicate that the
amount of sales is steadily increas-
ing.
Chairman j. e. Shelby of the parade
committee, which has charge of the
parades of the festival, is hard at
work, arranging for the different rep
reservations which have been asked for
in the parade by local firms and bust
ness houses The work on the floats
out at the fair grounds Is about com
pleted Twenty of these immense floats
are being built at great cost and
1t is stated that they will be superior
even to those seen in the famous
Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans.

and secured some headlights from one OF
the engine houses in preparation TO hoio

he went to see the president of the gas
company, who had small subsidiary
plant in one of the high suburbs, whlch

up a hand about the size of ham and
the palm as wrinkled as a map Of the
railroads running into Birmingham.
There's lines enough on that mitt to
tell the whereabouts of Lacy" much less

TWO REASONS FOR
ASSEMBLING SOLONS
Fall Robertson Says Hue and
Cry Has Had Little Re-
spOnse So Far

The hue and cry which has been raised
in certain quarters for an extra session
of the legislature has failed to meet re-
legislature to whom the cries were di-
rected Save for the purpose of putting
the anti-fee amendment into effect. or
making arrangements for the financial re-
lief of the state, in case arrangements
are deemed necessary by the governor.
no member of the Legislature has public
ly stated an opinion that there should be
an extra session.
J. Fall Robertson of ST. Clair, one of
not support the administration platform
in regard to whisky legislation, while in
Birmingham yesterday, expressed his sem
timents in regard to the effort to bring
about an extra session.
"The finances of the state may make
it necessary that the legislature come to-
gether," he said. There is but one other
reason, in my opinion, wherein an extra
session would accomplish good, and that
is the putting into effect of the new
amendment in reference to the remuner-
Gtlon OF county OFFICIALS IN jefferson coun-
ty. The effort to secure an extra session
because of the recent ceralcation in the
convict department is absurd. In the first
place. the legislature cannot come to-
gether unless the governor calls it to-
gether-except for the purpose of i'm
peaching the governor. In the second
place, what could the legislature do in
A.
convict department swindle? 1t could an
point a committee to investigate Tha
committee would do anew the work which
the state is doing at the present time.
The result would be identical with the
result to be arrived at by the state
Mr. Robertson was asked If there was
in his knowledge any secret effort being
made to secure an extra session for anv
purpose whatsoever. He answered in the
negative.
