years before taking up osteopathy and

10000 ACRES COAL

Co. the Buyer

The Alabama Mineral Land company
announces the purchase of 1900 acres
of coal land situated in Walker county
near Jasper, the county seat. The consid-
Grafton, which is said to be very large
was not given out. The land, said to be
of great value, is located one-half on
what is known as the Big seam and the
remaining half on the Black Creek and
Jefferson seams All of the seams where
on is situated the land are of considerable
value as coal producers and have a po-
stion of undsputed value among indus
trial experts,
c. c. Huckabee of the Alabama Mineral
Map company announced yesterday that
the purchase was made from j. F.. An
drews of New York city. who has been
holding the land for some years. Whether
the land will be held undisturbed as an
investment or whether ii will be devel-
oned on the scale that the value war
nts is a matter of some uncertainty at
t3,is time. Mr. Huckabee said that the
expert coal land owners of this district
would recognize the value of the pur-
chased land.

PERCY WILL. URGE
COMMITTEE NOT
TOCALL PRIMARY
Author of Commission Bill
Will Ask for Hearing at
Meeting to Be Held
Tomorrow Night

The author of the Alabama commis-
sion bill, Walker Percy, will appear be-
fore the city democratic executive com
mittee tomorrow night and will try to
persuade that body not TO hold pri-
mary. Mr.. Percy is very much opposed
to the proposed city primary. He believes
that such step at this time would be
regrettable.
His opinion is that a primary is in di-
rect conflict with the spirit of the COM
mission law. His views on the subject
will be given the members of the COM
mittee by Mr. Percy at the courthouse
meeting.
The expressions from Judge Lane and
Mr.. EXum that the proposed primary is
not in accord with the commission bill at
tracted considerable attention. Requests
for an opinion were made of Mr., Percy,
who is regarded as the best informed
man in this state on that particular law,
inasmuch as he drafted the measure and
directed his talents to securing its pass
age. He declined to make any statement
about the proposed primary. He felt that
1t would be more courteous to make no
statement until the committeeman were
in session.
1t is said to be Mr.. Percy's plan to ap-
pear at the meeting Monday night and
ask the committee to accord him the
courtesy of a hearing. That will undoubt-
edy be done, whereupon Mr.. Percy will
give his views on the proposed primary.
That he will argue that there Is no law
for the holding of a primary is said to be
certain. 1t is probable that Mr. Percy
will insist that inasmuch as there Is no
law for the proposed primary election it
would not be best to hold one for commits
sion nominees.
The commission law provides that the
elections for commissioners shall be nom
partisan. No candidate is obliged to be
a democrat or as for that matter of any
other political faith to be accorded every
right and consideration under the law.

THINK |. & n. WILL
HAVE TO PUT RATE
IN EFFECT ON TRIAL
Impression Here Is That
Judges Will Require This
Step to Prove Roads
Contention

That the Louisville and Nashville
railroad would lose it's case against
the Alabama state railroad commission
mission calling for 21s cent passenger
rates in Alabama, is the general i'm
preston among prominent attorneys
and jurists of Birmingham.
OF course none of those talked to
yesterday would agree to being inter-
viewed in the press in regard to the
pending case before the decision is
made by the courts, but when asked
for their private opinions nearly every
man emphatically stated that he be-
lieved the railroad was fighting los
ing fight.
Attorneys and legal experts yester-
day attached little Importance to the
decision in Huntsville by United States
Judge William /. Grub Friday night
in which he granted temporary re-
straining order against the railroad
commissons enforcement of the 2lz-
cent rates. They state that this was
only just and fair and was merely a
procedure to maintain the cases statu
quo until it can be tried on its merits
before the three judges as required by
law.
1t is stated that as matter of fact
there are four distinct steps to be taken
In the case now filed by the Louis
Vile and Nashville and that the tenn
porary restraining order granted Fri
day is merely the first of these The
concensus of opinion appears to be that
when the case comes up before three
federal judges, May IS, that the Louis
vile and Nashville will he forced to
put the rate into operation for cer-
tain length of time. In accordance with
a ruling of the United States supreme
court to the effect that the fact tha !,
the railroad commission made these
rates was prima facia evidence and
that the railroad could not dispute the
rates on the ground that they We're too
low to yield profits until they had op-
Grated under them certain length of
time and could show such by actual
operation statistics.
Which, in other. words, means that
the railraod will have to prove that
low rates and more traffic is not as
profitable as high rates and less
traffic
