Pryor, the negro slayer of G. f. Quest,
to secure a change of venue was de-
MED today by Judge ]. A. Bilbro in
the city court of Gadsden and a jury

The paving question again was before
the council last night. T. S. Kyle made
the announcement to some of the al
dermen that he would circulate a pc

at Ninth to Twelfth streets on Forest
avenue. A plan also was presented for
oiling the street to cope with the dust

COMMITTEE SEEMS
TO FAVOR PRIMARY
Next Meeting Will Be Held
Monday Night
! MEMBERS ARE BUSY
Difference of Opinion Among Them
as to Issues Which Should Be
Submitted for Expression
of Opinion

Much interest is centered on the pos
sible action of the city democratic
executive committee at the meeting next
Monday night. as 1t is understood that
Chairman Finch will call a meeting for
that date in response to the request
signed by a constitutional number of
. committeeman which was filed yester-
day.
That the committee will call pri-
mary there seems to be little doubt, as
1t is stated that only three members
of the present committee are opposed
to the primary idea. The bone of con-
tention seems to be as to what questions
Fhall be voted on in the primary in ad-
dition to the selection of a democratic
candidate for the office of city COM
missioner. Some of the committeeman
hre not in favor of submitting any
proposition before the people except the
hames of the candidates, others say
hey will ask that municipal owner
hip of the waterworks be submitted
the people. Many other possible
uestions to be voted on have been
entioned. such as whether the voters
tvor the commission or aldermanic
brm of government, local option or
satewide prohibition, opening the pic
Ire shows on Sunday, and other ques-
,ons of public nature.
There are those who openly oppose
e primary on the grounds that it has
p legal effect, that fraud could be
ID "acticed without any recourse at law,
kpcld that in the event democratic pri
ssary is called in will deprive many of
q best citizens of the town from par
Tcipating in 1t or to renounce for the
m haip
In the meantime the members of the
,5posite factions of the committee are
nisy looking to the selection of COM
iitteemen to fill the present vacancies
1 ind much "hobnobbing" is observed
A@mong them.
lo In the event the meeting Is called for
MONDAY night it is predicted that a
strong fight will be made by both fac
tions to elect men favorable to their
particular views.

day submitted a report recommending

CARNEG|E'S MILLION
GIFT CAUSES STORM

NEW YORK, June ga violent
storm has broken over the heads of
those in the Carnegie corporation be-
cause of Andrew Carnegie's act last
week in giving 100000 to the Van
derbilt University. at Nashville,
Tenn, for medical college.
Alumni of the University of the
South, at Sewanee, Tenn, which re-
Gently launched a medical adjunct
at Nashville, maintain that discrim-
nation against their college is re-
flected at the Carnegie gift. The
Sewanee men. many of whom live in
this city, assert that the Carnegie
corporation and its ally, the Carnegie
foundation, together with the general
education board, maintained by John
d. Rockefeller, have set themselves
to the work of crushing out sectarian
colleges everywhere.
Andrew Carnegie is the head OF the
Carnegie Corporation, to which he has
given $125, 900 900 for the promotion of
educational projects. The Carnegie
Foundation, with an endowment OF
SIS, 000,0 is used exclusively for pen
sioning teachers. The General Board
of Education, headed by the Rev.
Frederick T. Gates, Mr.. Rockefellers
almoner, has a fund of approximately
s1oO, 100000 and its sphere is some
what akin to that of the Carnegie
Corporation.
When Sewanee University decided,
year ago, to spread out by project
ing a medical college at Nashville II
hoped, at least, for an even chance In
the field against other universities of
the South. Instead of this, its alumni
allege, the Carnegie and Rockefeller
influences are being exerted to
throttle 1t.
Rev. DR.. Henry S. Pritehett, head
of the Carnegie Foundation, said that
Mr.. Carnegie knew nothing of the
hopes of Sewanee when he gave the
81, 900, 900 to Vanderbilt. He said that
it was unfair to insinuate that Mr.
Carnegie or his corporation in help
ing Vanderbilt wanted to blot Sc
vance out.

appears that Mr.. Fowler has sent
letters to the county committeeman

their support, which is rather re-
scented in view of the fact that he
asks support for an independent as
against two dyed-in-the-wool Pro-
gressives. 1t is declared that Fowler
