OLIVER COMMENTS ON
BANKHEAD'S INTERVIEW
by WILLIAM A. COLLIER

Tuscaloosa, May 12.-tSpecial Com
siderable discussion has been occa-
stoned in Tuscaloosa by the interview
of w. B. Bankhead of Jasper, candi-
date for Congress from this district.
which was published in The Age-Her-
aid Sunday w. B. Oliver of this city,
who Is a candidate for Congress, when
asked for an expression on the inter-
view credited to his opponent. said:
Yes, I read the reported interview
with Mr.. Bankhead in The Age Herald,
in which he undertakes to define the
present issues between us, and I must
confess to a mingled feeling of sur
prise and amusement at what he is
quoted as saying.
Il. He announces that he will con-
tend that Tuscaloosa county is asking g
too much.
~. That because my announcement
stated I was in accord and sympathy
with the administration and believed
it promised more lasting good to our
people than any in the history of the
republic, he concludes that I have in
dorsed what he boldly affirms to be Mr..
Wilson's policy to retain republican Of
ficeholders in power
CAS- to the first issue one might m
fer that there had been some real de-
mand for Mr.. Bankhead to offer for
Congress In order that he might rem
der truly patriotic service to this dis
trict by curbing what he charges to
be the too ambitious county of Tusca-

ANNUAL FLAG GIVEN
BY NEGRO SCHOOL,
"The Drum Major" Offers Good On
portunity to Show Voice Training
at Industrial High School

Every seat in the Jefferson theatre was
occupied last night and several hundred
were turned away, the occasion being the
annual exercises of the Negro Industrial
High school of Birmingham Only the
eight boxes had been reserved for white
patrons.
musical play under the title ''Ths
Drum Major" was presented. It con-
sisted of three acts and the choruses Eave
opportunity for the large number of
pupils of the school to be heard. The
scene was laid In a suburb of Paris
during the first empire and the plot was
woven around the actions of a recruiting
officer who was seeking recruits for tho
army and the havoc he wrought among
the feminine portion of the population
by carrying all the men away to war.
The school is well known for its ex-
cellent singing and IN last nights num-
bers the pupils showed careful training.
Tho work of some of the principals was
very credtable Worth special mention
was a lullaby scene in which some of
tho Children whose fathers had gone
away to war, were put to bed and sung
to sleep.
striking announcement was made by
the principal to the effect that at the
approaching commencement of the school
all of the graduating dresses would be
made in the school and that none would
cost over one dollar, including the TRIM
mings.

loosa. The fact is that his announce
ment was made sometime in advance
of mine and at a time when 1t was
rumored that there were those who had
been lifelong supporters of his father,
and who were not residents of Tusca-
loosa county, who might contend for
this honor. Certainly all who are not
unforgetful of past favors will agree
that 1t i'll becomes Mr.. Bankhead. at
least, to assert that Tuscaloosa county
could ever ask of his family too much.
s'As to the second issue, I am not in
formed that Mr.. Wilson has yet an
nounced any definite policy as to the
retention of republican officeholders.
He has been very busily engaged since
his recent Inauguration with matters
of great Importance to the business In
terests of the country and which in
volve the good faith of the party. 1t
would seem far better that democrats,
administration, should recognize that
important national legislation might
have been delayed, If not seriously
Jeopardized, by. a clash over appoint
ments to office at this time.
Il indulge the hope that meritorious
democrats will, in due season. be re-
warded. and am unaware that the ad-
ministratlon has ever denied fMr.
Bankhead's innuendo to the contrary
that democrats are not just as honest
and just as competent and Just as de-
serving as republicans. Those who In

GREWSOME FIND
ON A. C.L. TRACKS
Burned Body of Human
Being Found in Yards
at Montgomery

Montgomery May 12.-(Special.)- "A
grewsome discovery was made early this
morning when the burned body of a hu-
man being. sex and race unknown, was
found under burned car of the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad. The car was or
the tracks in the Atlantic Coast Line
yards. and the fire occurred about i.3t
O. clock in the morning. The body was
not discovered until long after the fire
had been extinguished.
The head and both the upper and
lower limbs were burned off the body
leaving only the trunk. This was sc
mared by the flames as to render It In
distirguishable as to race and sex.
1t is presumed that the body is the
remains of tramp who was stealing g
ride on the train. Probably a lighted
match or a cigarette stump was thrown
upon the floor of the car, which finally
set fire. to the car.
The matter is being investigated by
Coorner w. H. Stokes.
