 OF TAX RECEIPTS

Eufaula, June 14.-(Special)- )-Now that the supreme court has decided that the city of Montgomery is entitled to S30 900 of the county road and bridge taxes, which have been withheld heretofore, the city of Eufaula Is preparing to proceed against the board of revenue of Barbour county for taxes totalling over s15O00 The city engaged an. attorney some months ago to handle the matter for them, but it has been hanging fire pending. the de- cision of the supreme court in the Mon- gomery case.
 The city council now will probably push the matter with the end in view of get ting a settlement with the board for taxes that have been withheld to this date Similar action is to be taken. also 1t is said, by the towns of Clayton. Clio and Louisville, whose total claims on the road bridge tax will be in the neigh borhood of 5000. Hence the grand total will be about $2O,0O0 that will have to be refunded to the towns by the county com missioners, who are strenuously opposed to this action, declaring that the road work of the county which has been car ried on so successfully for the past four years without the issuance of bond will be seriously hampered.

There was scarcely dry eye among the con gregation while Nearer My God to Thee" was being sung in eiemory of those less fortunate than the New York's passengers in wrecks at sea.
 The wounded liner wore a big tar paulin bandage over the gash in her side cut by the Pretoria. The hole covers a range of three of the broad plates of the liner and extends from her upper works to within 10 feet of the water line. That the Pretoria did not strike the New York at her most vulnerable point--between the tunnels was due to the skilful handling of the American liner by Captain Roberts

ALABAMA CROPS ARE
 GREATLY IMPROVED

Montgomery, June li--A general im- provement in crop conditions. occa- stoned by showers over the state, was noted in Alabama during the week just passed. The reports show that good, seasonable rains fell in nearly every section and brought out the crop con siderably, doing much to overcome the drought that deteriorated the cotton crop during May
 Reports from unbroken droughts come from very few sections. In nearly all these cases the principal damage by lack of rain was done the corn crop and vegetables and fruits. cotton being only slightly affected, Advantage has been taken of the dry spells by the farmers to hoe and chop their cot ton and the fields are all reported clean. Deep and regular blowing has also done much toward coping with the dry conditions.

Congress Must Dispose of Legislation Before Ses-
 sion Ends
UNDERWOOD GOES TO
 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.
Will Participate in Commencement Exercises-To Resume Efforts for Adjournment in July Upon His
 Return Wednesday

Washington, June 14-with the tolls exemption repeal bill at last out of the way, Congress this week will turn to legislation that must be disposed of be- fore the session ends. The House will have before it the sundry civil appropria- ton. and Senate leaders expect to begin antitrust debate.
 The trust debate does not promise any thing spectacular, but it is expected to be prolonged. The federal trade commission bill. first of the antitrust measures. probably will be made the unfinished business within few days. The bill Is expected to be taken up after legislative appropriation is cleared. which possibly will be tomorrow On the heels of the trade commission bill will come the rail- way securities bill, and prospects for at least six weeks trust debate loom ahead.
 Senate leaders are interested in an ad- journment plan accredited to Majority Leader Underwood of the House, which would enable Congress to quit next month as soon as the appropriation bills are passed Their interest, however, so far does not indicate they will adopt it. There is little doubt that some sort of trust legislation will be put through the Senate before adjournment. Even the proposal that special session be called in November to take up trust legisla- ton is not likely to meet the views of the Senate and the President.
 Underwood to Charlottesville
 Majority Leader Underwood will leave tomorrow for Charlottesville, Va. where. as retiring president of the University of Virginia alumni. he will participate in commencement exercises. On his return Wednesday he expects to resume his eff forts to get the support of senators for his plan for July government. Pri- maries will be held in some of the states within e month and representatives of those states want to be home.
 All three parties are counting on send ing the strongest array of speakers pos sible to Maine, where the first election will be held in September. Republicans say there they gre confident. demo- crats express equal satisfaction and pro- gressives say the situation never looked brighter
 While some House leaders are press Ing early adjournment, sponsors for big pending measures insist on legislation. The general dam bill and the five con servation bills are slated to follow the sundry civil appropriation bill. The dam bill is expected to take several days be- cause of opposition. The bill provides that no dam shall be built on a nayl- gable stream without federal consent; that every dam constructed must be op- erated under regulation of public utili- ties or other state commissions; that if the rates and practices of the power com panies are not reasonable and proper the Secretary of War shall regulate them and that after years the federal govern lnent have the right to take over any projects on one years notice and fair valuation of the property.

Baseball prospects at the Bemidji
high school were ever brighter than
this spring and Coach Bestul antici-
pates placing a team in the field
which will be in line for the north
ern Minnesota championship.
A large squad will be ready for
the first call and every place on the
nine will be fought for by candidates.
Several veterans of last year will try
for the team, but as their are several
promising youngsters on the eligible
list, Coach .Bestul will have difficulty
in selecting proper men for the
places. James Sullivan was recent
ly elected manager of the team and
a captain will be named soon.
While the basketball season was
not as successful as teams in pre-
vious years the team was comprised
of bunch of fighters and never
knew when they were downed. Hay
ner' and Cameron had a merry fight
for the centre position it being a
toss-up as to which was the better
man. Graham and Riley at guards
were both aggressive players and theil
work was among the best seen here
this year. At forward Tanner was
in a class all his. own. His floor
work was the feature of every game
in which he played and his basket
shooting was brilliant. Captain Ell

relied upon. .-4~ n. .. ".>' -
