 .'sl HAVE DEBATES
but Burnett Thinks He Should Select at Least
 One-Third of Places

Congressman John L. Burnett and his opponent for reelection, Capt. l.. B.. Rainey, gave notice in Birmingham yes- terday that they would furnish enter tainment for all corners in Gadsden Mon day morning and Alabama City Monday evening
 The rivals for Seventh district congress sional honors will debate at these places.
 Captain Rainey,'' said Mir. Burnett, 'fas made public list of 21 places where in he desires to meet me. This list was compiled without my knowledge I am willing to meet with Captain Rainey or have my friends meet with his friends, and arrange a debating itinerary. l am perfectly willing that he name two-thirds of the places. The remaining places, how ever should be named by me, as a mat ter of right and justice.
 q had an agreement with Captain Rainey that this plan would be adhered to- I was surprised, therefore, when ac- quainted with the fact that he himself had selected the entire itinerary. Of course, I will be unable to meet him at all the places he suggests'
 MT. Burnett is confident of being re- nominated. He is confident also that he will have republican opposition, and con- fident that he will defeat his opposition.
 Captain Rainey Is confident himself.

HAD A NEPHEW IN
 NOTORIOUS BAND

There is negro living in Beat 21, this county, who had a nephew enrolled as a member of that notorious regiment of blacks which shot up Brownsville. Tex. which was mustered out of service by President Roosevelt, and reinstated through the efforts of certain members of Congress, among whom was a dem ocrat, R. P. Hobson.
 This fact was made known yesterday by Capt. w. P. Lay of Gadsden who had come to Birmingham to attend the meeting of the democratic executive con- mittee of the Seventh congressional dis trict.
 Sometime ago." said he, 'I wrote a letter to the editor of The Age-Herald, in which I gave the facts of the Browns vile outrage, how the negroes shot up the town, killing women and children in their beds how Roosevelt mustered them out of service and how dobson and others secured their reinstatement
 This letter was published. Some days afterwards I received a letter from a negro living in Beat 21. Jefferson county, This negro told me that d. nephew of his was a member of that gang, and that there was no doubt in the world but that the gang was as guilty as sin. He told me also that it was the intention of the negroes to raise S1O0,0O0 to employ the legal services of Joseph W. Bailey, but that Mr. Bailey declined 70 serve. He told me also that the sum of $50,000 was raised and was probably used advan- tageously.
 "He requested that withhold his name."

Prayers Influence

That the prayers of Dr. H. M Ed mopds. printed every morning in The Age-Herald, are of far-reaching influ- ence, was evidenced by letter received in Birmingham yesterday. The letter is from the mother of a well known man of this city, who resides about 15 miles from city in a neighborng state. She was a former resident of this city and in her letter says:
 T want to tell you how much good The Age-Herald's morning prayers are doing for me. They are one ceaseless inspiration to those that read them, I am sure. At least they are to me. I feel that they are also to others. They are so sweet and beautiful. I beg of you to read the prayers every morning and if you do with sincere heart you will find them great help to you throughout the day of work, trial and temptation. And we need all the help and encouragement that we can get to keep up in the strict part of rectitude.'

the late Senator Johnston"
 Montgomery. March 6.-Ray Rushton, a prominent attorney and leading demo- cratic worker in the interest of Oscar Underwood, tonight announced his can didacy for the unexpired term of the late Senator Joseph F. Johnston. State Senator Watt Brown has qualified also. making three entries in this contest Capt. Frank s. White. who was defeated by Senator Bankhead before, having been first to enter the race. The date for qualifying for the race expires at mid night tonight.
 The failure of Captain Hobson to gqual- fly for the unexpired term of the late Senator Johnston was not unexpected. It is stated that the general opinion had prevailed that he would enter the race. He is reported to have said some months ago that he jwould enter such a con- test. This report, however. was before the appointment of Frank P. Glass.

 ACCOUNTS MISLED
 PUBLIC, SAYS I. c. C.
fContinued from Page one,

operating revenues is accounted for by the inability to obtain increased rates and the great increase in the cost of labor"
 This statement was not in accord with the facts. So far from being an increase in the expenditures for labor during the fiscal year 1911, the expeu- d'tures on that account were about $50,- 900 less than in the previous year. ac- cording to the company's own reports to the commission.
 Income Overrated
 "The delinquencies in the accounting Of the Puget Sound company are, however, of even greater significance. large traf- fic was offered to the Puget Sound line as soon as it was opened, and the evil dence before us leads us to think that a correct showing of the operating results for the first year would have been most satisfactory. Not content, however, with statement of the facts, the income of the Puget Sound was greatly overstated, a variety of expedients having been re- sorted to for this purpose"
 The report points out that if accounts had been stated properly during the first year of operation of the Puget Sound eom- pany, .yhe income for the Puget Sound company for that year, reported at S2, 255. 40 Is. would have been virtually elimi- mated. Its dividends of 2 per cent paid out of income" for the first year of it's operation. could not have been paid and without this income the St. Paul company, which was practically the sole holder of the Puget Sound company. would not have been able to pay it's own dividends for the year 1911 out of it's income.
 "The general public interest demands that the financial reports of carriers shall be true records of the facts that they purport to show.
 Accounting officers understand the true functions of accounts and their instincts and training are such as naturally to lead them to keep their accounts as they should be kept. But in many instances the accounting officers have not been left free to follow their natural incina- tions in this regard From the necessities of the case, it is the accounting officer who is immediately responsible, and whom the commission first will hold responsible when it becomes necessary to invoke the penalties of law; but we shall not hesi- tate to call to account with even greater severity anyone above the accounting of- ficer in authority who may share in the responsibility for any violations of the accounting rules and regulations which have heen prescribed for the use of the carriers"
