Redfield's s tariff views often were sought
by the President during his campaign

Politics got little of the Presidents time
as he was mostly concerned over the
flood situation. He kept in touch over
the telephone, however. with the prog
ress of the jury reform measure in the
conference committee of the New Jersy
legislature and let 1t be known that un-
less jury reforms were obtained he might
make an appeal soon to the people of New
Jersey to bring pressure to bear on the
legislature.
Mr.. Wilson accepted a baseball pass
from the Washington American League
club and agreed to toss the first ball at
the opening game.
The President issued the following COM

II am very much gratified to have the
choice of the democratic voters in the
senatorial primaries in Illinois ratified

cred in the national capital A relative
of a White House domestic was one of

BIRMINGHAM PRETTY FAIR
OITYIN WHICH TOIIVE

looms are being conducted as decently as
saloons can be conducted, that consid-

CITY beautiful idea is taking hold, that the
police department Is being increased as
rapidlv as the finances of the municipal
ity will permit; that Birmingham is de-
veloping in leaps and bounds from an
industrial standpoint. that the people are
in comfortable circumstances, and that
the population is increasing at a greater
rate than the population of any other
city: that there have been no tornadoes
bringing DEATH and flood with famine
and destruction.
I'VE have something for which to be
thankful stated Judge Lane, without
committing himself on any proposition.
"Birmingham at the present time is a
good city in which TO live OF course,
there is vice here. Perhaps men some-
times get drunk sometimes gamble, or
sometimes engage in bros with guns
and other weapons. And, of course, we
have fallen women, and, of course, there
are temptations which should not be.
But the same conditions prevail in all
other cities, and from comparative
standpoint Birmingham is as good as
any of the Others"
Yes" said Commissioner Exuna. "Bir-

MINING OFFICIALS
TO TESTIFY TODAY
IN CONVICT PROBE
Representatives of Four
Companies to Appear Be-
fore Board of Inquiry
in Montgomery

| Montgomery, March 27.--(Special)- -
An examination of officials OF mining
companies which hire state convicts
morning by the Investigating commit
tee of the state convict department.
None of the examiners could say this
afternoon what company would be first
Investigated, though it is probable that
representative of the Pratt Consoli-
dated Coal company will be the first
witnesses to go on the stand. 1t was
reported this afternoon that George b.
Mccormack, president of the Pratt
company, will be the first witness to
appear before the examiners tomor-
row, though neither Attorney General
BriclSell nor Robert v Evans were able
to confirm this report. They could
only say that representative of each
mining company which employs con-
victs had been asked to appear before
the examiners of public accounts and tes-
tify relative to whatever transactions
that company had with the state con-
vict department. The first witness to
arrive will be the first examined.
The state has leased convicts to four
mining camps; Banner. owned by the
Pratt consolidated Coal and Iron COM
pany; Flat Top, owned by the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company; Belle
Ellen, owned by the Bessemer Coal and
Iron company, and Lucille, owned by the
Redfeather company. Officials of all
these companies have been summoned
before the board of examiners and 1T
lis likely that the examination of these
companies will consume at least week.
Whether or not the examination of
the mining companies will bring out
Iany important or sensational testimony
lis a question purely of conjecture,
though it is expected that there will be
some interesting developments. Follow
ing the examination of the mining COM
panies the board of enquiry will sum-
mon before 1t the wardens of the va
rious camps and all other persons who
have had any business of official deal
ings with the convict department
There is no way of telling when the
examination will be concluded, though
indications point to the fact that the
probe may continue for two weeks
longer. The governor desires that the
Investigation should be as thorough as
possible, and the examiners have been
sparing no pains to bring out every
particle of evidence that has any bear
| ing whatever upon the transactions of
the convict department.

1t is considered very probable that the

that the appointment of commission

which produce it, would serve no sane
purpose.
None of the commissioners, let it be
understood, has so expressed himself

which they shake their heads, elevate
their eyebrows and smile their smiles,
the student of human nature is given a
fair opportunity to make legitimate
guess.
Birmingham is already pretty fair
