TRADE COMMISSION
 MEASURE PASSED
Senate Passes Bill by Vote of Fifty-Three to
 Sixteen

Washington, August 5.-The New lands bill to create a federal trade commission, first of the three admin istration antitrust measures, passed the Senate late today, 53 to 16.
 The bill differs radically from the measure as 1t passed the House, which probably will disagree to amendments ard ask for conference.
 The Senate measure would provide a trade committee of five members to succeed to the duties now performed by the commissioner of corporations with greatly extended authority. The powers of the commission would be dlVlded broadly into two classes, one of investi- gation into the business, the financial condition, conduct and management Of corporations engaged in interstate commerce and the other the issuing and enforcement of orders against "un- fair competition" by corporations.
 The section of the bill making unfair competition unlawful principally dis tinguished it from the House bill All attempts to define or describe the meaning of the term unfair competi- tion' were voted down.
 The principal change made on the floor of the Senate was the adoption of the Cummins amendment for re- stricted court review of the commits sion's orders Senator Pomerene's s amendment for broad court review was defeated. 38 to 27. One amendment would require the commission to make formal finding in favor of corpor- ation when a practice complained of Is found to be fair and allow corporations complained of to have counsel at hear ings.
 The Clayton antitrust bill was made the unfinished business of the Senate and will be pressed for early passage.

CANVASS ANN|STON
 VOTE YESTERDAY

Anniston. August Special. )-The city democratic executive committee met this afternoon and canvassed the result of last Mondays municipal pri- mary at which time they declared that tnere is no necessity for a second pri- mary on August 10.
 in reaching this decision the com mlttee followed the rules of the state executive committee which had been interpreted on request of Chairman W. 1T. Watherly. The two highest men in each of the wards or the two re- ceiving the largest number of votes were declared the nominees.
 Only one vote was vast against this action and it is considered that the opinion from Bibb Graves, chairman of the state committee. will tend to allay opposition and dissatisfaction to the ruling.
 Under this ruling the new council will be composed of J. L. Wikle. mayor; J. +. Williams, president of council; o. M. Alexander and J. W. Mallory, First wa;'d; J. A. Hamilton and D. G. Wal drop, second ward: A. F. McGhee and Claude Settles, third ward; J. T. Gard her, Jr., and J. ". McClurkin, Jr., Fourth ward; Jesse Evans and Lamar Jcffers, Fifth ward.

BANKERS ALL OVER ALABAMA ARE READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY
Superintendent of Banks Walker Optimistic Con- corning Financial Situ-
 ation in State

Montgomery. August 5.-(Special) Bankers of Alabama are optimistic and confident that they can handle the financial situation in this state with a firm grasp in case of unfsvorable con- ditions that may arise from an Eu- ropean war. according to Alex E. Wal ker, superintendent of the state bank ing department. who has just returned from Birmingham. where he held a conference with bankers from all parts of the state.
 MT. Walker declared today that he talked with many of the leading bank CTS of Alabama and that they are un- usually optimistic over conditions de- spite the fact that the war crisis is upon the financial institutions of the world at the present time
 q found that the bankers, with the help that they will receive from the government and other sources will be able to handle the situation in Ala bama. I discovered that the large banks have no disposition to push the sIna1ler banks and that in this case the smaller banks can extend exactly the same time to the farmers as here tofore," said Nr. Walker.
 There is no reason 10 believe that there will be any bad effects from the financial situation providing that the present sound status be continued. In Birmingham I talked with bankers from all parts of the state and have received letters from bankers from all parts of Alabama and the outlook is nothing but optimistic" said Mir. Wal ker.
 One bank in Birmingham has just received S1,200000 that can be used, while several others in that city have been assured that they can get any reasonable amount that they may de- sire.

COUNTY CONVENTION OF THE BULL MOOSE BREAKS UP IN ROW
Obear and Lewis in Personal Clash Which Finally Causes Adjournment
 in Haste

County and district progressives yes terday failed to accomplish their pur- poses. This was due to general row in the county convention which destroyed harmony. and which characterized by free indulgence in unparliamentary language. prevented the transaction of business. As result. the district convention will not be held prior to the conclusion of this month.
 In the county convention the trouble was caused by a tepid debate between George s. Obear and G. R. Lewis of Bessemer, who was serving as chairman. Both men became very personal in their attacks, and it is said that blow was exchanged. Friends intervened, however, and no damage was done. Half of the deIgates-but not before one man pres ent shouted "to h. with the democrats" retired. The remaining, added names to the Jefferson county delegation which some weeks ago was appointed to repre- sent Jefferson county in the state con vention. These newly named delegates, in their effort to obtain seats in the state convention, precipitated a contest which they lost
