WORTH|NGTON HAS
 NO COMMENT FOR
 FR|EL'S CHARGES
Refuses Also to Discuss Watts Charges-Appears by Request Before Con-
 merce Committee
By c. D. STEWART

Washington, March -(Special)-J w. Worthington. vice president of the Alabama Power company, and presi- dent of the Muscles Shoals Hydro Electric company, who has been in Washington for several days this week opment in Alabama, refused today to make any comment of the charges against him and his organization by T. H. Friel. Neither would AIr. Worth ington discuss the statement made re- gently by the governor of Alabama in speech regarding water powers in the state, or the attack made upon him by c. L. Watts, candidate for Con- gross to succeed Judge Richardson.
 Appeared Before Committee
 It was learned, howeevr, that MT. Warrington appeared by invitation before the House committee on inter- state and foreign commerce, of which Judge Adamson of Georgia is chairman, and discussed at some length the pro- posed new water power laws advocated by the administration. MT. Worthing- tons remarks to the committed proved to be of such interest that he was in vited to discuss the situation with Sec retary of War Garrison.
 Among the recommendations that MT. Warrington made to the commit tee vas that in cases where leases were made by the government of Wa ter power sites where dams were con- structed at government expense as is the case of lock IT, on the Warrior river. that municipalities be given the preference by the government in grant ing the lease in the purchase of such power developed. If this policy should be adopted the city of Birmingham would have first call on power de- veloped at lock IT.
 Bill Now Being Shaped
 The shaping of a law for granting water power rights is now in progress before the interstate and foreign com merce committee.
 H. A. Reynolds of Anniston was in- troduced by Representative Blackmon and appeared before the House com mittee on postoffice and post roads to- day to discuss a device for binding and wrapping mail matter.
 Representative Blackmon was to have left Washington tomorrow for Alabama, but on the advice of his phy- sician postponed his trip until Satur- day. March IA.

OSCAR LEWIS FIRST
 SENATE NOMINEE Winner in Macon Primary Believes Conner Will Be
 Defeated in County.

Montgomery, March 5.--(SpeciaL) )-Oscar Lewis of Tusl1egee recently nominated for the state senate from Macon county. Lewis defeated w E. Huddleston of Tus- kegee, after a hard fight, the formers majority having been comparatively small.
 Mir Lewis is the first man to be nom- mated for a seat in the senate in the next legislature. He is a strong local optionist, an anti-Comer man and will doubtless prove a leading factor in the next legislature
 The vote in Macon county brought to light rather remarkable condition of affairs. Before the primary was held 1t was commonly thought that Macon was one of the strongest Conner and prohibition counties in Alabama How ever, Macon county did fulfill this be- Ter With reference to the candidacy of Henry Merritt, former member of the house, who was nominated for another term by a small margin
 Macon county will, therefore, have one local optionist and one prohibitionist in the legislature
 MT. Lewis declared today that he be- lieved there are enough anti-Comer votes in the county to defeat ex-Gov B. B. Conner in the April primary. if this strength is concentrated upon one can dldate. He expressed the belief that the anti-comer strength would concentrate upon Charles Henderson, who is regard ed In that county as the leading local option candidate in the race for gov ernOr

because OF the rivalry which had
been worked up between Doc Par
dee and Walter Klein on the two
previous days. With the two men
named, George Clark, of Navajo
county, entered yesterday, and the
three put up very exciting contest
three times round the track, con-
siderable money having been placed.
Clark won on each turn. In the
second round PardeGs helper turn

won by Split Second" "Travers,"

One Mile Race.
The first and only one-mile horse
race of the fair was run by Helen
Booth and Katie Heisler, the latter
winning on account of the formers
horse flying the track and losing
out to the tune of at least one hun

excellent exhibition OF skill on the
race track, and had fast mounts.
Three-Eighths Mile Race.
In the second three-eighths mile
race Sweetheart" won over Little

Other Sports.
lnterspersed in the regular race
program were a number of amusing
side sports which kept the grand
stand in roar of laughter during
their progress and added greatly to
the success of the occasion.
Among these was a girls chicken
race, INDUCED in by seven in the
first class and eight in the second
class. The most laughablc of this
funny event was when two little
girls caught the same chicken at
about the same moment and neither
would release her hold on the fowl
until Pardee declared it a draw. In
running off the draw the smallest
girl, Fannie Munds, daughter OF Mrs.

Mr. O'Sullivan delivered one OF the
most scholarly and polished open
ing orations that doubtless has ever
been heard from that stand, lauding
the efforts OF those who stand spon-
sor for the organization of the en-
terprisc, speaking in the highest
terms OF the progress OF the work
last year and the promise for the
present session.
He declared that the two exhibi-
tons meant the origination of an
enterprise which would grow from
year TO year until its proportions
would cnthusc every man, woman
and child in the five counties repre-
scented. Where can greater natural
resources which make for the wei
