WEATHERLY ISSUES
STATEMENT ON THE
WATERWORKS CASE
Says People Should Not Be
Discouraged by the
Decision of Judge
Crow

| That the citizens should be calm and
lundismayed by the reversal their cause
met before Judge Crow in the water
works case was an official statement
of Commissioner James Weatherly,
made yesterday. Ills promised state
ment issued yesterday was subsequent
to a conference with Captain Boyd, city
attorney and G. H. Huddleston. whose
gratis services in the case has at
tracted wide commendation.
Mr. Weatherly added yesterday after
noon that he had taken dp the war
against the waterworks company and
it would not cease until the highest
tribunals had given their views on it.,
The Indications are now that the case
which Saturday it was believed had
ended will drag through the summer
at least
If the case is appealed it Will be a
preferred matter before the supreme
court, but even at that 1t is doubtful
whether ii can be disposed of before
the end of summer.
The official statement of Mr.. Wealth
erlY follows:
Let the people not be discouraged
| by this decision sustaining the water
companys demurrers in the quo war
ranto case, as the decision is based on
the erroneous assumption that section
3513 of the state code excludes all other
remedies for abuse of its franchises by
the water company The practical ef-
feet of such a decision would be to hold
that section 3513 makes the water com-
pany's contracts immune from breach
and forfeiture, and 1t is inconceivable
that such can be the law Even if sec
tion 3513 was a bar to relief in an ae-
tion by the city, 1t Is clearly no bar
to the present action by the state, as
| by it's terms. it applies only to pro-
ceedings by the city. While Judge Grow
apparently failed to grasp this distinc-
| tion, the attorneys for the people, as
well as myself are very confident that,
should the supreme court fail to reverse
this decision, 1t VIII not be because of
section 3513 of the state code. As a
matter of fact, we are full of hope, and
| the present appeal will enable us to
more speedily clear up all of the COM
plicated legal points in the case We
repeat there is no reason for the peo-
| pie to feel discouraged, as appeal
will be taken a once. and the case will
be pressed to an early and. we conf
IDENTIFY believe, a successful termina-
| tion.'

No further notice will be taken of the

reference to the park commission employ
ment of G. II. Miller to lay out the civic
plan of Birmingham. Announcement to
this effect was made yesterday by Com
missioner James Weatherly when he die
tated a statement that he was convinced
that Mr.. Stack could not give any worth
while information on the insinuations he
had made.
The communication of Mr. Stack was
received and he sent copies of his note
to the press. However, Mr.. Weatherly
refused to give out the Stack commune
cation, satisfying himself with debating
the following, which he says closes the
incident:
II called upon Mr.. Stack for some facts
in support of published letter of his, in-
sinuating some kind of wrongdoing in
connection with the selection of George

RESUME HEARING ON
ALA. CONSOLIDATED
Judge Grubb to Hear Argu-
ments Today-Coffin and
Levering Confer

At conference yesterday afternoon
lbetween Harry W. Coffin, trustee of
the bankrupt Alabama Consolidated
Coal and Iron company j oshua Lever
ing of Baltimore, chairman of the re-
organization committee, and Attorneys
Lee c. Bradley and L. NJ. Rich, repre-
senting both parties, 1t was arranged
THAT the resumption of the hearing be-
fore Judge William T. Grubb as to the
refusal or acceptance of the plan of
sale submitted by Mr.. Coffin. would
begin at 2:so o'clock this afternoon.
ITS impossible to say when the case
will close, but we hope to end it to-
morrow afternoon said Mr.. Coffin.
There is nothing we can give out
Inow as to what we did this afternoon.
We merely discussed what had already
been gone over in court and what the
reorganization committee could do fur
ther. Nothing can be given out until
court opens tomorrow afternoon
The hearing of the confirmation OF
refusal of the sale of the Alabama Con-
soidated property is now in recess, Il
having been opened some several days
lago. The proposition before the court
is an offer of the Baltimore reorganiza-
tion committee TO purchase the proper
ty of the bankrupt concern. pay off all
unsecured creditors and reorganize the
company under a new name for cer-
tain stipulated amount. The plan Is
opposed by President j. II. Hoadley of
the company on several counts. The
hearing went into recess when a few
days ago Judge Grub Indicated from
the bench that he would deny the plan
of sale unless certain concessions were
made TO certain preferred stockholders
II is supposed to be these matters which
1.-THE reorganization committee and Mr.
Coffin have been comforting over.
