''WASHLADY" BLINN
 TALKS BUSINESS
Rotarians Making Plans for Houston International Convention Latter
 Part of This Month

George A. Blinn, Jr, at the Rotary hall at o'clock yesterday had for his topic Iron While the Irons Hot, or, the Shirt Without a Tah,' and he interpolated much of interest concerning the laundry business. The luncheon was devoted largely to fun and everyone present tried to make things interesting for MT Blinn. He was asked how much 1t cost to laun- der socks by one wassish member and he replied that it depended entirely upon the size of the sock
 The questions interfered greatly with his talk but pr. Henry M. Edmonds finally poured oil uuon the troubled wa ters by arising and saying with the ut most gravity: Gentlemen. I really think 1t is ungentlemanly for you to thus pes ter your washlady.'
 I. Y. Martin presented souvenirs yes terday in the form of a "Sheepskin." which certified innumerable things con- cerning the recipient.
 As result of correspondence and tele- graphic communication with many Ro- tary clubs Secretary Cox announced yes- terday that there would pe an ample num- her of Rotarians leaving Birmingham for the Rotary convention in Houston to Jus tify the chartering of special train from here. The speclal will leave Bir- mingham on June 19 at 103O p. m.
 There will be hundreds of Rotarian wis., itors in Birmingham o,i the 18th. although all of them will not be in the Birming- ham special for Houston, owing to differ- ent bookings.

 MRS. MAMIE GARTER
2S- -Year-Old Woman Is EX- pected to Die From
 Serious Injuries

Mrs Mamie Carter, aged 2S years of East Thomas. is in a dying condition at St. Yincents hospital, due to injuries received yesterday morning at Weaver tation when she was struck twice by trains running in opposite directions. She was carried to the inrirmary In Lige Loy's ambulance.
 Accounts of the accident which oc- cured about S:30 o'clock in the morning are that Mrs Carter was standing near the track and saw the train of the Br- ningham Southern approaching and waited for it to pass. She crossed the tracks of the Frisco without noticing the Frisco train approaching and was struck a glancing blow which hurled ner i'm mediately in front of the Birmingham Southern train which struck and knocked her bruised and bloody form to one side
 At St Vincent's hospital it was stated last night that there was no hope for Mrs Carter and that her death was question of only few hours as she had been terribly injured.
 Mrs Carter resides in East Thomas with her husband, Wesley Garter. They have a small child.
 She is a sister of P. D. Goode, press man of The Age-Herald.

ELECTRICITY RATES
 MUST BE REDUCED
 SAYS WEATHERLY
Says Birmingham Proposes to Get Some of Benefits From Water Power
 Current

That an attempt will be made by the city of Birmingham to derive some bene- fits for the people from the hydro-electric power to be used by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company was made plain yesterday py Commissioner James Weatherly In discussing the gas contract which he has opposed the com missioner spoke of the fact that the peo- pie expected some benefit from the water power electricity but, according to an an nouncement of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company, no reduction will result in electric light bills.
 q read that announcement" said MT Weatherly; however there will be some thing else to say about that later on. We propose to regulate the rates charged for electricity here by an ordinance. which will be drafted in due season. We pro- pose to study the rate question diligent- ly and carefully so that we will not in- fiict hardship or injury upon any inter- est.
 But as sure as anysning there will be a scrap if the company insists upon charging the old rates for this cheap power they are getting, We don't want q fight, especially, but if the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is anxious for one on that proposition they can easily be accommodated. It seems to me that the people of this community should benefit from this water power de- veopment. As it is this city loses tre- mendously. It is proposed to close a DOW CT station here with a big payroll and throw men out of employment by using the water power electricity The city gets no franchise tax nor does the city get anything by the entrance here of the Alabama Power company The Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company in contracting for this power certainly must have understood that the city of Birmingham would exact some conces- sidns and lower rates."
 MT Weatherly made the foregoing statements purely informally and did not indicate that the proposed efforts of reg uation would start at once He said. however, that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company might get in- formed on the proposition as there would certainly be made an effort to control rates here by fixed ordinance
 The voters of Birmingham turned down l0-year light contract at the polls when referendum was invoked on that prop osit1on. There is now no contract exist Ing between the city and the comma nv 1t is presumed that MT. Weatherly has : Tn mind drafting an ordinance to fix the rates and compel the company to collect no greater amount

and Milton H. Smith-but above any of these evil influences, and more hurt fu than all is the debauehedry or the Alabama electorate. Alabama can stand more and worse liquor and higher freight rates, but Alabama cannot stand to have the votes of its citizens not counted as cast. If the allied inter ests, the liquor and railroads, can come into Alabam with money and baneful influence. and bastardize our elections, then peace, prosperity and higher citi- zenship are gone
 "In the recent campaign l believed and contended that the supreme issue was the reassertion and re- establishment of the right of the people 10 control their public service corporations and their government in their own inter- est. Perhaps I was mistaken in this All other issues are now dwarfed Tn the presence of the one supreme is sue that our electorate shall not be commodity. shall not be venal, and that every voter shall have his vote counted as cast l do not say this to arouse any present controversy, but anticipat- ing the supreme duty of the legislature and the democratic party in the next campaign.
