INDICTMENTS NOT ON WHOLESALE SCALE Bell Explains Uncle Sam Is Only After Interstate Cases
 of Restrained Prices

According to Robert N. Bell, federal district attorney, the reports which
 have been circulated and in some part printed to the effect that there will be
 wholesale indictments on charges of
 cornering the markets controlling food
 supplies are exaggerated. The attorney
 stated that the circular received in his
 office yesterday in which he was in-
 structed to insist in the event of con-
 viction on prison terms rather than
 the imposition of fines, was not meant
 to apply solely to Alabama, but was
 simply one of the hundreds sent into
 federal attorneys offices throughout
 the country.
 "As matter of fact" said MT. Bell,
 "it is our function to indict only in the event that some individual of this state has combined in restraint of trade with some individual of another state. If certain brokers or wholesale or re- tail dealers have formed combination | in Alabama or this district, that Is a subject for the attention of the crim- inal court Judge William E. Fort has charged his jury to that effect.
 ~"It Is very probably true that we will have several witnesses summoned to give testimony in regard to the sit uation which is now occupying sucn a prominent position in the public mind. We will make a report of our findings. If 1t develops that local brokers set their prices in accordance with instructions received by wire ev- 1 cry morning from Chicago and other F~x- 1..,d d quarters But we can indict only when | it is learned that some citizen living lin this federal district has formed a combination in restraint of trade With some citizen living outside or the tos

Grubb Strong Candidate

By all except those bound positively to anyone candidate. Judge Grubb Is re- garded as the logical man on whom the delegation could best unite. No aggressive campaign has been waged in his behai If by any element of the delegations he is believed by many who know him and his services to be entitled to the promotior and an opening on the district beroh would be left for another aspirant. As Judge Grubbs best hands are tied by conditions, he cannot make a personal appeal, and his very hedplessness in the situation Is expected to make him vi'i- pathetic and loyal friends and the ulti- mate showdown.
 Should all Alabamas 8 men be eliminated through the failure of the Alabama men to concentrate their influence on their preferment of orA man to point to .sena- tor Bryan.

ALABAMA SOLONS
 MOBILIZE BEHIND
 CHOICE FOR JUDGE
Walker Urged as Shelby's Successor to Attorney Gen. eral GregOry-May Unite
 on Judge Grubb

Washington, September S.--(Special) Mobilization of the various forces in the Alabama delegation behind their respec- tive favorite candidates for judge of the federal Fifth judicial circuit today ma sScd the contest between six Alabama aspir- ants for that office. Judge Clayton it is understood, is not to be presented for the position.
 Reinforced by Judge John Pelham and other parties from Alabama, Senators Bankhead and White and Representative Underwood called at the department of justice and presented. Judge Walkers name to Attorney General Gregory. In turn, each spoke earnestly of Judge Wal cited the indorsements received from his friends and admirers at home.
 Equally to John B. Knox of Anniston
 Representatives Blackmon, Dent and
 Nuke made an appointment with Attor-
 ney General Gregory for tomorrow, w'len
 they will call at the department of jus
 tice and urge the selection of their eandi-
 dates. They, too, will present strong in-
 dorsements and will speak of Mir. Knox s
 special fitness for the position.
 Burnett to Call
 Armed with strong commentators, re- ceived today from his district and many other sections of the state, Representative Burnett also will call on Attorney ,ssn- eral Gregory tomorrow and will present the name of O. R. Hood No one &C., cording to MT. Burnett, has been more
 widely nor more strongly indorsed than MT. Hood, and he considers his can1i- dates chance of nomination to be second | to none. By non-comba tants belief was enter | tained that the formal presentation nf all | the names to the Attorney General 1d | to the White House would go far toward clearing the situation and possibly would | lead to a union of delegation on some par . ticular man. feeling prevailed in the delegation that continued division will result in the elimination of all the Ala bama candidates and the selection of an asprant from some other subsequently, Seantor Bryan of Florida.
 Also it Is understood that the depart
 ment of justice is anxious to have the vacancy filled as soon as practicable, all l though willing to give the friends of every candidate time to present their indorss- | ments. This means that no time can be wasted in bringing the Alabama men to- gether, if they hope to retain that seat 1 on the bench for their state.
 Under these conditions. it is believed | that. possibly on intimation or hint from | the inside, the process of elimination may 1 be parted and those candidates be dropped | who have virtually no chance of selection
 till the one man is reached who will be- acceptable to the department and behind whom they can unite.

 Several forces initiated against an earlier beginning of the work It is unnecessary to enumerate these forces which smacked more of unavoidable develop mcnt than-of voluntary creation. The remedy was ob scura from legal standpoint; county officials wer, uncertain as to proper proceedure and the public do not hesitate to express its dsapproval of the delay There thus arose healthy agitation in which The Reyie' undertook to perform it's delegated mission through h, channels of publicity
 This agitation was utilized a basis for concerto action by members of the Commercial club which has heretofore performed excellent public service. The ob stacos which mpeded progress searched out and uprooted.

METHODISTS, SOUTH,
 GATHER IN OKLAHOMA
 CITY, BIG CONVENTION

OKLAHOMA CITY. okla. May 5.- Page after page of the registers at Che leading hotels in this city filled today with the names of bishops clergy and prominent laymen of the Methodist Church. South. They are tho delegates In the seventeenth gen eral conference of the denomination, which will convene in st. Luke'a Church tomorrow for a session of three weeks. Among them the opinion prevails that the meeting ia destined to be one of the most important and profitable that the denomination has ever held. The fact that the general conference meets nly once .n ur years increases the interest att ched to its sessions. and owing to the uanS questions of vital importance Co the future e fthe church to come before the meeting for consideration it will be more largely attended by hon-dele- gates than any of its predecessors.
 The attendance at the conference will include between three and four hundred delegates, divided equally be- tween ministers and laymen The gen eral sessions will be presided over by Bishop Mouzan of San Antonio. Oth- CT bishops who are expected to parti- cipata in the proceedings, and nearly all of whom are now in the city, are Mccoy of Richmond, Waterhouse of Los Angeles, Murrah of Jackson, Miss, Wilson of Baltimore.
 A large number of memorials and suggestions soncerning proposed changes in the organic laws of the church will come before the general conference for consideration and ac ton The educational work Of the de- nomination promises to receive more than the usual amount of attention, owing to the decision of the supreme court of Tennessee that the church has no title to Vanderbilt University. A plan to establish another univar- sity to be under the exclusive control of the church may be considered.
 The conference will receive a re- port from the commissioners of fed eration appointed by the general con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church as to the advisability of union of the two branches of the church The plan of union has been agitated for many years and has mbade considerable progress, but no action looking to its consummation in the near future is expected.
 The general conference may decide upon a change in the law of the church that will relieve presiding elders of the responsibility of holding quarterly conferences and making them more nearly district superin- tendents Some change also may be made in the law relating to the care of superannuated ministers.
 There are at present more bishops in the active service of the church than ever before, but the opinion ex- lsts that the [ general confereuce should elect one or two more to meet the present needs of the denomina- ton A number of prominent preach CTS ure already being spoken of for the episcopacy, and the election will be an event of far more than ordinary interest to the entire church.
