constitutionality of the new Florida
anti-coupon law in the United States
Court here before Judge Shelby, of
the Circuit Court, and Judges Shep-
pard and Call, of the District Courts,

tax. therefore a violation of the FED
eral Constitution.

the legality of the law should be test
ed in the Florida courts. He asked

TO reflect Southern conditions DR..
Stiles took typhoid as an example,

typhoid death rate in Alabama to

To demonstrate the presence of the

WIKLE FIGHTING
FOR HIGHER TAX
RATES IN CITIES
Admission Mayor Insists Alabama
Constitution Be Changed to
Permit Higher Levies.

ANNISTON, Sept 2O.-Mavor J. L.
Wikle of this city will lead the fight
before the next Alabama Legislature
for constitutional reform that will
enable Admission to increase its tax
rate, and he has intimated he may
become a candidate for the Legisla
ture on a platform embodying this
plank as his paramount issue.
The tax rate in Admission is one
half of l per cent, and Mayor Wikle
says 1t works a great hardship on the
city to make the improvements de
manded by a growing city with the
relatively small amount of revenue
available under the constitutions
limitations. He will make an effort
to enlist other cities in the fight.
Admission made an increase in the
appropriation for the public schools
this year of $4,000 The board of edu-
cation asked for $4,000, and got
S25, 900
Mayor Wikle says he has been con-
fronted with a great financial prob
lem this year in keeping the City's
expenses within the budget limita p
tions. The new Jail demanded by DR.
Oates. the State inspector; the neces-
sary increase In the school fund new
bridges, new streets, more lights, ac-
cruing interest and other items have
combined TO make this a crucial year
in the city's history financially he
says.

O'Neal Looks Into
Sensational Middle
Will See Democratic Leaders About
Status Of Henry %. Clayton,
His Appointee.

MONTGOMERY, Sept. 2O.-Gov-
ernor Emmett O'Neal will leave here
Sunday for Washington and New
York. While the reason given out for
the trip is that he is going to nego-
tate loan of 100000 for the State,
1t is known that the Chief Executive
will spend some time in Washington
in conference with Democratic Sena-
tors to learn the exact status of the
Alabama Senatorial muddle
Although Congressman Henry d.
clayton was appointed by the Execu-
tive to succeed the late Senator 10
seph +. Johnston over a month ago.
1t has by no means been decided that
his credentials will be accepted.
In the event the judiciary commit
tee refuses to abide by the appoint
ment, which is held generally to be
in violation of the seventeenth
amendment providing for direct cleo
ton of Senators, a meeting of the
Alabama Legislature will be necessi-
tated to confer upon the Governor
the power of appointment to fill out
the vacancy created by the death of
the late Senator Johnston or TO call
special election.

FUNDS To MEET
RECORD DEBTS
State Faces One of Its Greatest
Deficits October 1-Governor
Seeks Loan in East.

MONTGOMERY, Sept. 2O.-With a
depleted State treasury at the present
Sfne IN which there is less than $40
OOo' and heavy Obligations maturing
on october l. Alabama faces one of
the heaviest deficits in years. on the
Initial day of next month the total
OF the deficit will approximate one
million dollars.
Governor Emmett O'Neal will leave
sunday to arrange for Eastern bank
ers to carry the warrants of the State
until revenues commence TO come in.
rms move is significant in that State
panks nave heretofore carried such
deficiencies, and it would seem that
they are now reluctant to do so.

contingent fund of $4,000. An opinion
from Attorney General Rrickell has
been handed down explaining which
appropriations must be paid October
and which can wait until the finan-
cial situation of the treasury is eased.
The educational appropriat will
be among those paid out October /.
Owing to the fact that few big COL
lections will be made by the revenue
departments of the State until the
first of the year, It is probable that
the State deficit will reach one and a
half million dollars.
AS a State act and the constitution
both limit the borrowing power of the
chief executive to 100000, and this
amount was obtained on a demand
Eote early in the summer, it means
that any loans made the State at this
time will have to be borne by willing
banks.
The present condition of the States
finances is rather interesting. in view

BY ALBANIAN
Ascending Penitentiary Clerk,
Who EmbezzIed 100000, Is
Found by Selma Man.

MONTGOMERY, Sept 20.-Can
Governor O'Neal bring about the ex-
tradition of Theodore Lacy, who alb
seconded from Alabama last March
with approximately $4,000 in State
funds, from British Honduras. so that
he may be brought to this State and
stand trial for the alleged embez-
element?
1t is declared that the missing con-
Wet department clerk. for whom
Burns detectives secured the country,
has been located by a native of Sell
ma, Ala who Immediately communi-
Gated with the Governor. The lat
ter, despite the fact that he main
tains an absolute silence as to what
he plans to do, has told, his most in
innate associates that he is endeav-
orlng to arrange eXtradition through
the State Department at Wa shington
When Lacy first disappeared and
State auditors found that the convict
department treasury was almost com
pletely looted, professional and anna
teur detectives from all over the
state fioCked to Montgomery, attract
ed by the $1,000 reward offered for
The capture. Shortly Burns men were
called in and the general exodus
turned in the direction of Dallas
County, Lacy's home. Vigilant
searches were made there and every
day reassuring reports were received
that the right trail had been hit upon
These fell through, however, and the
missing man was never located
Thought To Be in Europe.
Governor O'Neal declared at the
time that he believed Lacy to be 81
route to\ Europe. where he thought he
would betray his identity by lavish
spending of the money he was ac-
cused of taking. At one time it ap-
peared this belief would be con
firmed, when reports, We're received
from Venice, where il was said man
bearing a close resemblance to Lazy
was living in luxury and entertaining
lavishly on all occasions. Officials
said that an investigation proved the
suspect was only an English tourist.
For time the Lacy case died out
and State officials announced that
they had practically given up all hope
Of his apprehension. This condition
lasted until the past week, when the
message came from British Honduras
to Telight the fires of hope for Gov
ernor O'Neal and those who want the
reward for his capture Efforts at

Governor O'NeaIs LEGAL advisers
who are familiar with international
law say that the outcome of nego-
tiations with the State Department
to bring about Lacy's extradition are
doubtful Treaty agreements with
South and Central American coun-
tries are not as closely drawn a with
