This Year

Senator Watt T. Brown of Ragland, st.
Clair county, after spending yesterday in
Montgomery, came TO Birmingham last
night.
Il discussed matters with the governor"
stated he. in answer to questions, but
neither of us referred TO the probability

EYE WITNESS TELLS
OF MEXICAN HORROR
DR. Westmoreland on Ar
rival in Columbus Says
Half Has Not Been Told

Columbus, Miss. February 19.-tspecial1
Or. Charles ". Westmoreland. formerly
OF this city, but who has lived in Mexico
City for many years, returned here yes
terday to visit his family He says the
condition of affairs in the troubled coun-
try has not been told in all of its deadly
details. lie says he was in the Ameri-
can club building in Mexico City when
the shells tore two big holes in the struc-
ture. lie saw the two American women
killed by the bursting shell and declares
both sides have been shooting each other
down in the streets, as if they were dogs
or cattle
The people are no longer in a condition
of mind where they will listen to reason,
according to DIR. Westmoreland, but they
have not gotten to a point where they are
blood thirsty and ungovernable. Regard
ing Intervention on the part of this coun-
try, DIR. Westmoreland believes 1t is a
certainty within the next year or so, II
1t does not happen sooner. He believes
1t will soon prove to be a positive neces-
sity to prevent savageness equaled to
that practiced in obscure countries
DR.. Westmoreland says the insurgents
seem to have the best of the fight to
date. All the troops brought into Mexico
CITY by the federals size up the sltua-
tion and about half of them go to the
insurgents. He says some troops fight
with the federals one day and when they
think they are losing ground, the same
troops sneak to the insurgents during the
night and fight with them until they seem
to be the loser.
According to DR.. Westmoreland one ex-
perionces a great deal of trouble getting
off Mexican soil into the United States,
and he says the greatest fear the thou
sands of Americans and other foreigners
in Mexico have in the event of American
Intervention right now is that the Mex
leans would slaughter them unmerciful-
ly as soon as such Intervention was begun.

Cecil A. BeasIey Says Cen
eral Dam Law Will Prob
ably Be Amended
BEASLEY EN- ROUTE
TO SONS BEDSIDE
Senator From Fayette County Hopes
if Governor Calls Extra Session
He Will Include Few
Matters in Call

That the Coosa river dam bill Will
not be considered again by Congress,
was news brought to Birmin CHAM yes
terday by Cecil A. Beasley, secretary
to Senator Bankhead Mr.. Beasley was
called from Washington to oakman to
attend the bedside of his little son,
who is seriously i'll.
'Tt is very probable" stated Mr..
Beasley, that there will be no more
discussion this session of congress con
cerning the control of water power and
companies developing water power.
The defeat of the Connecticut river bill
has put a quietus on the agitators
who favor federal control of water
within the boundaries of the state.
The Connecticut bin which was de-
feated in the senate will not be carried
to the lower house.
at is probable that the Coosa bill,
which was vetoed, will not be again
before the house. In the next session,
it is very probable that an amendment
will be made to the present general
dam law, and that through this, we
will get what we are seeking for Ala
bama by indirection. There is no
doubt but that congress is loverwhelm-
ingIy opposed 10 federal control OF
water power and that the great ma
jority of both houses believes that that
is a function of the soverei gn states.
"The fight was very spirited and
very interesting and resulted in clear
cut and brilliant victory for Senator
Bankhead. We complied an entire vol
ume of testimony bearing on the sub
ject and showed beyond doubt that
President Taft when he was Secretary
of War held views identical with ours
that the state was the sovereign power
over its streams and not the federal
government, from which position he
has so startlingly departed"
