Rylance of TallapOOsa Sees
No Need for 1t Unless
Whitewash Is Used
CONCERTED EFFORT
NOT IN EVIDENCE
Wiuld Be Willing for Jefferson County
to Have Extra Session il Delega-
ton Agrees in Advance
on Fee Law

1t is probable that a majority of the
members of the legislature see in the
scandal of the state convict department
no need for an extraordinary session of
the legislature.
j. 3. Rylance. one of the representa-
tives of Tallapoosa county, who spent
yesterday in Birmingham, is one of the
probable majority. lie states that his
colleague, A. p. Fuquay, takes a similar
view of the situation.
In this regard, Mr.. Ryance said
There is no need for an extraordinary
session of the legislature as a result OF
the scandal in the convict department
Now, should there be an effort made by
the administration to administer a white
wash, the condition would be changed
Then there would be need of probe by
the legislature.
But am one of the few, possibly. who
believe that every man SHOULD be given g
chance. ] am firm in he belief that Gov
ernor O'Neal is endeavoring to go to the
bottom of the scandal, and that he Will
succeed. There is certainly no evidence
that the department will be white
washed My colleague, Mr.. Fuquay,
feels as I do in this regard
Asked if in his knowledge there was a
concerted action on the part of any clique
or faction of the legislature to secure an
extra session, Mr.. Rylance shook his
head.
81 was very close 20 Speaker Almon, y
he said, 'and feel sure that the speaker

was one to bring about an extra session,
and that he would have notified me and
his other friends If such step was con-
templated by anyone.
There Is an effort being made to Sc
cure an extra session by those who want
the anti-fee amendment affecting this
county, put into effect This year. / would
not oppose an extra session for the pur-
pose of making this worthy constitutional
amendment effective, provided the dele
cation from this county agreed on a bill
before the conyening of the legislature.
In that case the amendment could be put
into effect at once, and adjournment or
dered without loss of time or heavy ex-
pense to the state
Mr.. Rylance has been considered an ap-
plcant for the position of federal at
torney for the Middle district of Alabama.
He stated yesterday that while he was
not actively an applicant, he would not
object to the appointment were he to be
selected without strenuous effort on his
part.
In regard to the discussion of an extra
session. Mr.. Rylance was amused at the
publication IN an afternoon newspaper to
the effect that a certain excise commits
sioner of Cullman county was apprehen-
sive lest two-thirds majority of the
legislature should of its own volition call
the legislature together.
"Of course we all know said he, that
the Legislature cannot. possibly convene
without call from the governor except
for the purpose of impeaching the gov
ernor. And there is a certainty that it
will not be called together for that pur-
pose"

that as much of our money should be
spent on the building as possible and

SPIRITED CONTEST
IN PROGRESS FOR
POTLATCH PRIZES
Keen Rivalry Among Fra
ternal Bodies, Especially
Shriners and Elks
$500 BUTTONS
HAVE BEEN SOLD
Five Hundred Sold Yesterday Despite
Fact That II Was Saturday-To
Partially Reorganize Teams
at Tomorrow's Luncheon

The contest between the churches and
labor and fraternal organizations of the
city for the two s240 prizes to be awarded
at the last grand Indian festival on the
last night of the potlatch celebration.
April "a and %, is becoming very spirited.
A very keen rivalry has developed be-
tween the fraternal organizations espe-
cially the Shriners and ElSs Among
tie churches st. Andrews Episcopal 50
far has apparently been the most active
but ladies interested in several different
churches have called at Chamber of Com
merce headquarters and sgnified their
intention of organizing campaign to So
lioit votes
One of things being emphasized by
the workers in the potlatch campaign to
sell the 1900 buttons is that instead of
sacrificing the 81 which is paid for the
button, the purchaser will get many times
his actual moneys worth. The idea that
any man who buys a button is Simply
donating 81 to the cause of financing tho
potlatoh celebration to celebrate the pros
perity of the city, is mistake. The privi-
leges which that button give to its pos
SCISSOR are worth many times the dollar
which has been paid for it, 1t is said.
Last Grand Festival
The last grand festival of the celebra-
ton on the night of April 20 at East Lake
park will be the crowning event of the
two days. No one will see the potlatch
who does not see this last festival at
which there is to be a big Indian cere-
mony. an immense bonfire across the
lake with Indians dancing about 1t, and
the spectacle of people in Indian costumes
entering boats on the other side of the
lake and coming across to the skating
rink and dancing hall where a big In
dian ball will be held. OF course all the
people will simply be in Indian costumes.
the impression that there are to be real
Indians in Birmingham to stage the pot
latch is not correct. Birmingham people
will do it and every person who buys a
button has an opportunity and the right
to take part

TOM LONG HAS NOT
HEARD FROM 0'NEAL
Says There Is Much Discus
sion of Extra Session to
Investigate Scandal

Thomas L. Long of Jasper. the one man
in Alabama who could, il he desired, say,
II told you so,'' came to Birmingham
yesterday on business. 1t was Mr.. Long
who requested the governor to investi-
gate the convict department in public
last year. The department was investi-
gated and given clean bill of health.
In answer to questions, Mr.. Long said:
Il have written nothing to the governor.
have heard nothing from him. There
seems to be a desire on the part of many
people that an extra session of the legis-
lature be called for the purpose of in
vestigating the scandal of the convict de-
partment In this desire, the people of
Walker are unanimous. Jack Crawford,
our representative, Is, of course, in favor
CT an extra session.
II was asked some days ago why the
governor and his friends are so ardently
that I didn't know. Certain people ran
away to Texas and Arkansas to escape
their trials The famous humorist on that
occasion said: / don't see why they run
away. ] am confident that most of them
would come clear
There was a rumor current that Mr..
Long was planning to go to Montgomery
for the purpose of giving testimony in
the present probe of the convict depart
ment. He denied the rumor.

Deaths Not Reported

1T is also a fact that the corporations
in this county do not take the office OF
the coroner seriously, for they hardly
ever take the trouble to notify me OF any
fatality in their mines or works. FOR
instance, the explosion OF lndio mines
early in the week has not yet been OIL
ficiaily reported to me, The only informa-
ton | got of this mine disaster being
from the newspapers. The same may be
said of man that got killed in Bessie
mines two or three days ago. I've read
in the papers of the fatality but the
managers OF Bessie mines have not noti-
fled me of any fatality in their mines
am going to get after these corporations
and show them that they are not above
the law and must report to me any IA
tality that happens on their premises.
1t has been suggested that the poard
of revenue could well afford to put an
automobile at Mr.. SPANS disposal, SO that
he could investigate quickly every violent
death. AT the present time 1t Is not IN
frequent that dead bodies must lie for
hours and sometimes days wherever they
happened to be before Coroner Spain can
pass on them and order their removal
