SPECIAL COUNSEL
TURNSOVER LARGE
SUM TO THE STATE
Troy Collects 100000 From
Foreign Corporations
During Two Years
of Service
nv L. 8. BETTY

Montgomery, February 10.-(Special.)
During his two years of service as spe-
cial counsel In the collection of fees from
foreign corporations. Daniel w. Troy has
turned into the state treasury slO2, 50S.6i.
according to detailed report which Mr..
Troy submitted TO the governor yester-
day. Mr.. Troy was employed by the
governor December q 1911.
The special counsels report covers the
period from his employment to the close
of the year 1918, and gives in detail all
matters handled by him during that
period
The principal matters Enumerated in
Mr. Troy's report on which the state
realized heavily were:
Discovery of corporations doing bust
ness in violation of section 3642. of the
Code, providing for the registration of all
corporations, and the collection OF penal
ties therefrom to the total amount of
s5s,o5o
Discovery of corporations delinquent in
entrance fees and the collection of pen
alties and fees to the amount of Sl0,905.90.
Discovery of corporations doing bust
Revenue Bill (act of 1910 and collection
of franchise taxes therefrom to the ex-
tent of s2o.29s.6S for the state and s1o,-
1898 to various counties.
Discovery of various corporal tions de-
linauent for years past in occupation
licenses and collections of s1,s29.72 for the
state.
Special COunsefs Fees
Special Counsel Troy has received his
fees for collections turned into the treas
ury on a basis of % per cent of the
amount received by the state, a remu-
neration agreed upon by the governor
and the attorney general. However
since October 25 last Mr.. Troy has not
been able to draw any money for special
counsel fees, owing to the fact that Au-
ditor C. Brooks Smith held up the pay
ment of his fees on advices from the at
torney general, who questioned the
legality of the statute under which Mr.
Troy was employed.
This case is now pending in the court
of appeals, having been appealed from
the Montgomery city court. which sus-
tanned the attorney generals contention
Mr. Troy states in his report to the
governor that his docket now contains
well over a hundred cases from which
the state should receive many thousands
of dollars, but declares that cit is diff
cult for lawyer to work with enthusi
asm where the fee is not only contingent
but disputed
Special Counsel Troy has turned into
the treasury an amount in excess of that
which Lacy is alleged to have stolen
from the convict department The fees
IN all cases were collected from corpo-
rations which had not formerly turned

Taste, sight and smell all have an in
fluence upon digestion. If one eats
something that does not taste good one
retards the work of digestion because
the juices necessary to digest the thing
eaten will not flow in correct proportion
On the other hand. good food will al
ways excite the taste through actual con-
tact witt the food in the mouth or
through the sight or sense of SMELL un-
less the stomach knows that it cannot
digest it.
We thus readily learn that the simple
act of giving nature the digestive fluids
she needs, will bring back all the joys
OIL good eating, and tasting, smelling and

Nicholson FavorabIy Impressed

Referring to the attached proposition
from Mr.. Warren II. Manning, landscape
designer of Boston, proposing to pre-
pare a general plan of the city, show
ing existing conditions of surface and
underground utilities and proposed thor
oughfares, parks and public reservations.
for the future development of the city, |
beg to report. | have had an extended
interview with Mr.. Manning. in which
the general features of his proposition
We're discussed and those points about
which the commissioners inquired at the
meeting of last Tuesday were discussed
and fully explained by Mr.. Manning. AS
a result of this. he has submitted his
proposition in fuller and more detailed
form, setting out more fully the features
of what is covered by his expense ac-
count. and how this would be incurred.
his relation to the city and other public
utility corporations or individuals. This
proposition is hereto attached in dupli-
cate.
Discussing with Mr.. Manning the pres
ent conditions of Birmingham, with the
object of realizing to the whole COM
munity the greatest amount of happiness.
health and material welfare, the need is
apparent of directing, controlling and aid
ing the future developments and growth
of the city alon gthe lines of least re-
sistance, greatest natural beauty and adj
vantage. The preparation and adoption
of general comprehensive plan that will
represent all interests OF the city, the
creation of a spirit of cooperation and
community interest in the carrying out
of this plan is the best means to this
end and I would strongly emphasize the
fact that now is the best opportunity
to begin the work of preparing these
plans and creating this spirit of cooper
alton. as longer delays mean more OBJ
stacles to be overcome and more expenses
to be incurred. The value of this work
to the city when properly executed can
scarcely be overestimated, the selection
of proper plans and methods of opera
tion are, therefore, very important. After
a thorough discussion of THIS subject with
Mr.. Manning, as applied TO conditions
in Birmingham. it is thought that his
plan of procedure, his methods of ac-
complishing results and the financial con-
sideration as outlined in his proposition,
when considered in connection with his
eminent ability in civic designing work,
his valuable suggestion as to special leg
islation for the right to mold certain
tracts or areas for future improvements,
and his general grasp of the whole sit
uation make his offer a very desirable
one for the city, and it is. therefore.
recommended for your favorable consid-

SOME NEW AMERICANS

Porto RicanS are rapidly becoming
Americans in thought and sympathies

A. Jennings. an American exporter OF
Ponce. at the New willard.
This is due largely. if not wholly.
to the extension OF the school system
and the employment of young women
teachers sent from the United States,
When the American occupation Of
Porto Rico took place in 1893 there
were not 20, 900 children in tho
schools of the island. Today there are
/ 50 900, and they are learning the
English language and American ways.
Credit for this advancement is dus
almost wholly to the young women
who have gone from the States to take
up the task of teaching the young
Porto Rican idea how to shoot 1t
is gratifying to the American that tho
Womanhood of the United States
should play so important a part In
the education Of the islanders.
Thousands of young women since
1898 have gone into Porto Rico. soma
Of them scarcely out of their teens.
and taken up teaching in different
parts of the island. Few OF them
have had any knowledge Of Spanish.
but they have gone among the young
Boys and girls and by sticking to their
| work have not only taught their
charges. but have absorbed knowledge
themselves. The pluck of these young
women is admirable. It is noteworthy
in this connection that not one Ameri-
can teacher has ever fallen down in
her work or been sent back home for
any reason. and never once has any
of them been subject to insult from
the Porto RicanS."-WaShingtOn Post
